-EPISODE 66-

Spoiler for Part 1:

Manga: Chapter 148, 149, 150, 151, 152
Nippon’s adaptation: Last third of 3-2, 3-3, first three minutes of 3-4

Killua meets Michael at the same place he went to. While in the manga, he was told to go to apt. 603

Dick Sakura card (I wish I had someone gives me money to shop as easy as this!! Although I have a job at the moment so this is no longer a problem to me, but still!!). The name was changed to Boutique Sakura in the OVA

Insert “Lazy Togashi” joke here…

---

The contenders

So we got the dropout here…

The brothers here…

And a flamboyant examiner for this year!

Ponzo! (And the rest that we don’t care about…)

And hey look! It’s Zepile! So he made it after all! His scene with Killua in the manga was like a flashback from Zepile’s POV. Madhouse made it in the current timeline. Zepile was missing from the OVA (considering that they didn’t show the scene when he decided to take the exam then it’s safe to assume they decided to write him out completely)

Cue another “Lazy Togashi” joke… the Aomori (Not in the OVA)

So this is what it feels to be in Hisoka’s shoes during the previous exams…

Netero was present there in the OVA

And that’s it for the very short 288th Hunter Exam!

---

Here’s Killua’s Hunter License (In the OVA) and we also see how he got back to the mansion

Killua’s short reunion with Eeta is manga only

Contact

And Gon got his turn to taste Biscuit’s uppercut…

Greed’s Island real location

Aaaaaaand look who’s back!

Not sure if lazy this time or not…

---

This brief monologue was out of Madhouse’s adaptation

Doesn’t look good at the Nostrades…

---------------

Spoiler for Part 2:

Madhouse skips over four pages showcasing Gon’s current progress with his emission and transmutation techniques! Perhaps moved to another time because this is something that should not be ignored just like that (It’s in the OVA anyway)

Gon is a Pro Anime Rule #44 (Law of Nominative Clamovocation)

Now that they’ve started to play the game for real, the next will be just a card gallery unless there’s something important to note…

Gon’s attack here felt so rushed compared to the manga! They spent more time explaining the mini-game, but most importantly, we didn’t get the wrecking ball silhouette!

Hallelujah!!

King White Stag Beetle

Gold Dust Girl

Madhouse omitted this scene of how did Biscuit gain knowledge of the cities and events

Paladin’s Necklace

Transform & Fake (Mentioned, but unseen in the manga)

Memory Helmet, Witch’s Love Potion & Risky Dice

---

In the manga there was a player who tried to use “Fluoroscopy” on Gon but it was cancelled by Blackout Curtain

Killua question to Kazsule if he always hangs out around Antikoba and how he got the two cards he had is manga only

The contact scene is omitted from the OVA

---

We jump to chapter 152 for a bit…

Patch of Forest, Hidden Hollow & Palmtop Dragon (Mentioned, but unseen in the manga)

Breath of Archangel

Night Jade (Mentioned, but unseen in the manga)

All of this scene was omitted from the OVA, but the request itself was moved to a later scene

---

Now back to chapter 151

VIP Multi-pass (Mentioned, but unseen in the manga). The exchange scene is not in the OVA

Insert Kaiji jokes here…

Viz made a strange edit... Instead of leaving the text on the dice in Japanese or attempt to translate it, they replaced it with stars and a skull.

Rainbow Diamond

---

Back again to 152…

Bad CGI is bad…

Lottery (Mentioned, but unseen in the manga)

Roaming Ruby

The manga had a page of Bara informing Genthru about the other team’s progress, especially Team Gon & Co., but Genthru toss them aside and says it’s better to watch out for Tsezguerra, Tokharone, Hakagushi, the Bellam Brothers, and lastly Phinks & Feitan.

Tax Collector’s Gauntlet

---

Someone needs to watch that episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air when Carlton got addicted to gambling!!

Sadly, that slot machine replaced the card challenge with the Casino King from the manga and therefore no “Fledgling Gambler”. We got the card game in the OVA, but it wasn’t the same challenger

That’s gotta hurt…!!

---

This week’s tutorial is about Lottery

-----

So…… I sorta expected them to rush through the events… well, even the manga was rushed a bit, but did they have to skip over Gon’s progress with his training instead of saving Genthru’s scenes for the next episode? But still, it wasn’t a bad episode and it’s nice to see the characters “play” the game instead of training.

The OVA was a tad better on terms of events and the art was a little better as well.

8/10
