Hunter X Hunter – 20
Sometimes just sometimes Gon’s attitude of honorableness, innocence, or whatever you want to call it is annoying. Come on child you don’t think of excuses to dismiss your Hunter License when you were standing with a knife to your face saying you wouldn’t let your only opportunity pass by to help find your father. It’s one or the other young one, think of the end goal! Luckily Gon’s brain is still functioning after his beat down to realize there are two dudes who would be quite upset with him after all the three have gone through to get Gon’s license.

It’s time for the infamous let’s watch Gon get beat up for 15 minutes until he gives up or dies trying episode. Even though this is my second time watching, I was just as emotional right along with Kurapika and Leorio observing our little hero getting the beat down of his life. Having no chance as made clear by Hanzo crippling Gon’s movement within the first seconds, watching Gon getting his brain scrambled and taking multitudes of undefended blows was just rough.

Sweet mercy is Gon strong, just look at him manhandle the entire group on a single breath out of that snake infested cave. Luckily Bourbon had an antidote and Gon just happened to be able to hold his breath for longer than necessary. I’ll take Gon’s luck over prolonging this segment any longer than it has to be. Good to see we are finally done with this silly island and on to the last phase.

Toning it down from the absolute rush that was the previous episode, things settle as the reunited team sans Killua searches off to get Leorio’s target Ponzu before time ends. Killua is just too cool for school and gets his plate easily compared to the others. The whole switch-a-roo bit involving the name plates was hilarious. Good to see the show can pull off something as funny as that still.

I have no idea why this episode took place during the day as the original’s night setting was far better in establishing the mood required for Hisoka’s blood lust. That and crazy Hisoka looks far more menacing under the moonlight. Regardless of the shoddy change in scenery and overabundance of flat and treeless terrain during a man hunt for whatever reason, this was always a painful episode to watch.
