Decent episode although I can't say there was that much real development in the grander scheme of things, other than Colt getting his face smashed in. The fights were pretty much more of what we've already seen. The Ants deciding to fight one by one was kinda annoying but at least Kite's awesome scythe made up for it.
I suppose there was that small hint at the end that Gon's moral naivety might be his undoing but It's kinda mixed for me because I'd already decided not to pay attention to the moral aspects of the show any more. It always did my head in, especially when Gon was always portrayed as the moral compass. On the other hand it seems a lot like that's going to get subverted so maybe it'll be worth it now.

Gon a moral compass? Not really, he has his own morals that do not always fit in what normal western society would consider "normal". The best example would be his behavior during the Yorknew arc. Especially his anger towards Nobunaga.

His attitude towards Nobunaga during that arm wrestling match is ironically one the few moments where I've felt it was justified, but it's always been clear to me that Gon had the moral compass despite that compass being blatantly broken at times.

Or perhaps YOU could explain to me how manipulation, a school that is about controlling the behavior of people, animals or objects, is "obviously" responsible for transforming someone's shape. Last edited by Dengar; 2013-06-09 at 13:44. |

Changing one's body seems like standard manipulation ability, and the actual way she uses her ability seems like it too- it's possible she COULD be transmutation, but i don't see a single hint toward it beyond "Hisoka thinks so" (and transformation being closer to materialization).

Of course, it could also be neither and be Specialization or something. |

Well off the top of my head, suppose the first example would be when Gon told the ship's captain to let Leorio and Kurapika fight each other in the first episode. It wasn't that bad then but it kinda built up, I felt.

Unless you want to make some sort of distinction between moving something and ordering something to move? I personally don't really see any practical difference, at least in the results. |

I think (again, it's no confirmed) that transmutation can alter the mass (from a big object to a tiny one, for example), and even chance the properties of an object's matter/substance (from liquid to solid, for example, or from aura to, say, electricity). I don't think manipulation can do any of this. I think manipulation is just the ability to make objects or people do what you want them to, but it doesn't chance their properties.
