Of course the downside here is that the preview last week completely gave away the end of this episode. It was damn clear from the start that Gon lost his fight with Knuckle. Was up in the air when it came to the fight against Shoot though. Not surprised that Killua couldn't win though. I mean was fighting himself while fighting a very strong opponent, that's just not a recipe for success. Hopefully Bisky escaped fast...
Colt really does react quickly all things considered. Immediately goes for the risky idea of reaching out to the Hunters for help. He knew the situation was completely bad and something had to be done fast. Has this powerful concern for the Queen, but also realizing that things could go right to hell if the Queen dies and all the captains start racing around trying to start up their own kingdoms.
The King of course is just dangerous as hell. Also...I really can't help wanting to call him Cell
. They do love using kids in this show though to make an impact. I mean blasting off the parents heads in the distance and just slightly offscreen impaling a kid before eating her brain...Pitou is pretty damn durable. The same attack that blew off the other heads just left her bloodied up.
Situation really has become a mess though and not sure where they are going to go next. Right now Gon is helpless, yet this arc really isn't over yet. Killua also is ready to leave Gon the moment he's able to protect himself again.
