If Morel were a transmuter, he wouldn't need a pipe. He uses the pipe to produce smoke and then manipulates it. So manipulator. Knov should be either conjurer or specialist.

I have nothing against Kite's goals, but I'm pretty sure he didn't plan on dying here. He made the choice that caused him to fail to reach his goals. If his goal was to sacrifice himself to some end (save people?) then of course dying wouldn't even be a bad thing. Everything you do is judged relative to what you want to accomplish. Isn't this common sense? |

Kite's decision to let Gon and Killua go along with him wasnt wrong or correct. His assessment on the Chimera Ant's power was wrong. From what we have seen before, they were small ants which could be easily destroyed. Also even though a hunter should take risks there is a line between taking a risk and commiting suicide. Killua seemed to have known that no amount of resolve would work so he fled. The three big hunters did not charge into the fort so they knew that even though your a hunter you shouldnt take obvlously insane risks. |

Wouldn't be surprising if the Chimera lose to humans who create new rules to their nen abilities that make it stronger only when the opponent is a Chimera. Might be the only way to defeat them. I guess that would be one of the dangers of making so many enemies.. only a matter of time before one or some of them develop special nen abilities just for you!

It would also go against the principle that developing abilities takes time and dedication. It has to resonate with something from deep within you, not just be suitable for a monster of the week. |

Kind of felt bad for Killua during his conversation with Gon at the cafe'. During the York Shin arc Killua was the defacto authority on how to tail the spiders and any other stealthy dangerous things. Now even Gon is disagreeing if not totally at least half of what Killua was thinking.
Killua isn't wrong to want them to be safe, but you can see Gon really doesn't agree with Killua's assertion that a fight that can only be won 2 out 100 times is a fight one shouldn't even bother with. Doesn't Killua see that those are exactly the kind of odds Gon lives for!? Those 2 are really going to butt heads as they grow into Pro-Hunters if their entire approach is going to be so different in life or death situations. What would Killua do if Gon was going to die against an opponent he had a 1/100 chance of winning against? Run away? Would he want or expect Gon to do the same?

Maybe Morel should take his own advice and hope his Nen ability beats Pitou's and go charging in. That'd prove a point!

Your resolve effects your Nen which effects your chances of victory. Morel gave sound advice imo. Killua seems to only want to fight when he knows as much as he can about an opponent. Even Gon disagreed with him last episode on their approach to passing Netero's test. Notice how Netero and co are calmly evaluating their options instead of running scared after seeing how strong the enemy is? They haven't given into the "I can't possibly win" mentality.

Seems if someone's Nen is completely overwhelming you it's because they're a lot stronger than you. Look what happened with Hisoka, even after they managed to not be crushed by his presence they still aren't even a match for him. Sure, it'd be great if he was able to control his fear, but running was still the right call. Acting like Gon would have gotten them both killed.
Netero gets to observe the enemy and not run away scared because 1) they're probably strong enough they can fend Pitou off while escaping if they need to (and the 3 of them together certainly helps) and 2) Pitou didn't notice them until they made their move. Killua for example was able to tail the Spiders without being scared despite knowing they're stronger than him. Killua wasn't just observing Pitou, Killua was right in Pitou's face.

Rewatch the scene when Pitou stares at Gon and Killua. Look at Killua's face.. that right there is the core of what Morel was hard on Killua for.

Gon & Killua still training hard.
Taking on Knuckle so soon... I thought it was a bad idea, but it turned out to be the opposite. That guy was just a weirdo, but with a good heart. Chimera Ant fight was going well so far.

Knuckle is one of those characters you don't need to warm up to. You can go ahead and like him from the get go. That's how I see him anyways. He's very straightforward, there's no real need to understand his hidden depths cos he's pretty much an open book.
One thing noteworthy about this series though is that as our heroes keep getting stronger, obviously their enemies also increase in strength, but also they start meeting new allies who are also on a whole new level. Knuckle is the best example of this. As they are now he's way beyond their level, and he's not even using his ability yet. |
