Actually the cutting of the topknot is most associated not with death, but with a loss of social status. That makes perfect sense with Netero, as he's just declared himself "challenger" and admitted that he's weaker than his opponents.

Oh! Well, I learned something new again. I always thought it symbolized death for seeing Japanese in media cutting their top knots before they ask their companions to kill them or when an assassin comes with the knot of his victim as proof of his deed.

There seems to be a broadcast delay with H x H this week, possibly due to Koshien. I can't find any source indicating it's off altogether (it's supposed to be next week, though). Don't know for sure when #93 is airing.

Sometimes the cougar stalks the prey, and sometimes the cougar is the one stalked... Something tells me it's Palm we really ought to be worried about.
WTF was up with that newscaster, Togashi-sensei??

And the sick Chimera Ant King overthrows a dictator... well, there's a tendency to replace one dictator for a worse, but dang. Also, hot Palm and ladies' man Gon I didn't expect.
Also, I kept getting not only Gon x Palm vibes, but if I didn't know any better, maybe even Gon x Killua. >.> Killua reminded me of Lan stalking Madoka in Lagrange. That made me laugh. Also, they really need to get rid of those bastard roaming ants.

Seems like the King has an interesting power.
Great for him, but not so good for the hunters. Looks like he King found himself a palace as well. Things are not going well... There will probably be a lot more victims before he's stopped. Palm-Gon relationship took a weird turn ^^" I was surprised how calmly and naturally he dealt with her.

So the King has a castle now. Gon being a ladies man was surprising, but somehow it fits him. Palm should always look like that! Killua really is tormenting himself, wonder how he'll fare against Rammot. For a second i though the newscaster was an ant-soldier. Nice to hear the Knuckle and Shoot captured Kite, though Knuckle being nice again and Gon thinking Kite would be fine. Maybe there's a nen that can revive the dead.
