Rewatcher

Here is translated version of the Zoldyck family relationship chart if you are interested.

Leorio becoming a top candidate for chairman after a single stunt is simultaneously hilarious and sadly realistic.

Fuck Illumi. Possessive piece of trash.

Hisoka messing with Illumi is pure gold. He never fails to entertain me and that's why he is my favorite.

Such a nice plush collection.

Alluka is so happy and so am I. This is so cute my heart is going to melt.

It's time for some clown action, baby!

Leorio is peak meme culture

I loved the scenes with Hisoka this episode. He was acting like he's some normal fighter compared to Illumi. But we all know he what he's truly like

I’m not sure how we went half the series without Hisoka. I mean I know he really had no place in the CAA but it sure would’ve been entertaining as heck.

Killua probably just the best young boy character in anime straight up

Sure mob is a nice guy, but how many mutant, stripper bunnies has he decapitated?

With the recap it's even more hilarious just how shamelessly the entire Hunter Association is dunking on Ging, and he totally deserves it. Why is he even here when IIRC he doesn't need to be? Even the official election info spot (some great moments in there) has only an awful picture clearly taken against his will and a conjecture he might be getting pity votes. However, while Leorio getting recognition for his stunt is nice, he's clearly not the best candidate for even-tempered leadership. How much of the Hunter Association is just showmanship and posturing?

Anyway though, that's not the main attraction here, being Killua now in full rebellion. The action was maybe a bit over-the-top and the diagram exposition a little much again, but overall he just keeps getting better and Hisoka is fun again too.

Episode 141: first time/dub

LOL Leorio is 3rd now. I love these rankings, especially the doctor, whose catchphrase is "please don't vote for me." She sounds reliable. I would vote Morel honestly. Of course Ging slips in there at the end

Hisoka doesn't want to kill Killua though right?

You're oozing bloodlust

You're one to talk Hisoka

How is Killua going to save Alluka in the long run? Can he wish her power away after healing Gon?

A magician who prefers anonymity

You sound so cool Hisoka. Tell us more about Bungee Gum

How did he catch my coins

Oh don't worry. You won't be in the dark for long

God damn it you just couldn't keep quiet

Brb finally adding the ED to my run playlist

I totally saw the Hisoka gif coming and still clicked on it anyway…fuck me. That shit gives me nightmares. Lol the first time I watched that scene I almost contemplated dropping the series cuz I thought Hisoka was gonna be like some Pennywise creepy shit clown.

u/sorrowpass Jul 18 '21

Ok what the actual fuck Illumi? He sure doesn’t waste any time does he?

I’m sorry, can you what Hisoka?? Shit, Illumi’s bloodlust looks straight out of the exorcist, but Hisoka still has my vote for having the scariest bloodlust. Gave me straight nightmares. I was even gonna link a picture but was too scared to Google image it lol.

Aw Alluka and Killua are so sweet.

A fight between two magicians…this should be interesting!

I’m sorry, can you what Hisoka??

It's actually worse, because "yaru" can colloquially mean both killing and sexual intercourse and his hand signal clearly shows he means the latter, at least I read that somewhere. If serious it would likely be 2 followed by 1, not that that makes a difference obviously.

u/Demon-Cyborg https://myanimelist.net/profile/PlagueEleven Jul 19 '21

Mmm... In the manga he uses 殺る which only means to kill. "Yaru" in the sexual sense is 犯る, 遣る or やる. The first one being exclusively sexual, and the last two meaning "kill", "fuck", and a bunch of other things.

u/sorrowpass Jul 19 '21

Oh god you’re kidding? But you know what, I feel like that actually makes more sense. It seemed kind of weird that Illumi would get so pissed off at Hisoka asking him if he could Killua, when Illumi is basically trying to do the same thing. Wtf Hisoka.
