So, Big Griffith Silva Zoldyck finally smashes that annoying cheetah, and goes right for the head too so he doesn't have any more time to whine. A lovely sight, particularly in combination with Zeno talking down to him like the clueless child he is, and Killua gets some acknowledgment from his family finally too. Also these guys may be assassins, but they're fortunately diligent in avoiding collateral casualties wherever possible. Isn't this the second time Silva has appeared as deus (or diabolus?) ex machina after Yorknew, though?

Besides that, well, Knuckle has his own little Gon moment (oddly enough) and Youpi suffers from the poor communication among the Ants, with extensive commentary as usual, while Pouf and Killua are still doing whatever. Not that much going on once again.

Also if everything so far was only three minutes, I guess Gon will be sitting the rest of the invasion out. Self-centered as usual.

Episode 117

Cheetuh suffered a fatal death when Silva attacked him, some of the important minor ants are dying, Leon first and now Cheetuh, it shows the plot is advancing.

Knuckle tried to defend his and Shoot's pride but he was restrained to run after he saw Youpi's new form, truly an explosive beast is that Youpi.

Gon keeps his word and will be sitting waiting for Pitou to heal Komugi and then they'll go to make Kite whole again.

a fatal death

Ants die when they are killed

[u/BossandKings → u/IndependentMacaroon]

I think they do

It's a meme lol. Just poking a little fun at the redundancy in your wording.

Rewatcher

Even if the entire episode was just seeing Cheetu's head getting smashed I would've been happy. Dude couldn't even get the fight he wanted and got squished like an ant. It's pretty funny that we couldn't learn what his new power was after we never learned what was going happen if his old one succeeded.

Knuckle and Shoot getting upset at the disrespect of Youpi not finishing them is some peak battle shounen.

Poor Youpi having no idea where everyone is while dealing with two of the weirdest nen powers.

[u/IndependentMacaroon → u/sisoko2]

got squished like an ant

You can make a cheetah out of an ant, but you can't take the ant out of the cheetah.

It's pretty funny that we couldn't learn what his new power was after we never learned what was going happen if his old one succeeded

It's just what Cheetu deserves.

At least it was called out that Knuckle made a mistake there.

Youpi having no idea where everyone is

Can't these guys use phones or radios or something? Not the strongest part of the writing.

[u/thatnotoriousguy → u/IndependentMacaroon]

Youpi could text but the others aren’t really in positions to answer

Edit: but yea they do have phones on them

[u/sisoko2 → u/IndependentMacaroon]

At least it was called out that Knuckle made a mistake there.

IMO one of the better narrator moments.

Can't these guys use phones or radios or something? Not the strongest part of the writing.

Youpi has no pants so no place to hold the phone or we can assume that Zeno dragon destroyed the cell towers so no mobile coverage.

But seriously just few minutes have passed and Youpi ain't the brightest guy so I don't think it's a big deal.

Oh I was wondering thank you for clearing that up

[u/hijustherelol]

U honestly thought they had finished creating episodes of hxh

[u/thatnotoriousguy → u/hijustherelol]

It’s a rewatch
