And the king, at least, still hasn't reached his fullest potential. His matches with Komugi have shown him evolving his mind with extraordinary speed, to the point where Pouf can no longer follow their progress at all. Last edited by Upscaled; 2014-01-14 at 15:39. |

Wow! The last third of that episode... Utterly fascinating on so many levels. It almost brings a tear to my eye.
And not gonna lie... This episode felt like ten minutes. And considering the episode went by in slow motion, that's saying something. Last edited by MCAL; 2014-01-14 at 17:30. |

It's amazing how one minute of real time for our protagonists can be stretched out so much and yet still remain fascinating to watch. This is Namek done right. Akagi is another anime that managed to pull such a feat.
Youpi's horrifying transformations remind me of Parasyte. Definitely disturbing. Here's a question for you: how did Killua instantly recognize his grandpa's Dragon Dive when he had no clue what nen was until a few months ago?

Killua deduced Zeno was there based on the presence of Dragon Drive. If he's never seen Dragon Dive before and only knows the name then he's not going to immediately assume that those falling stars is Dragon Dive, much less in a split second.

Zoldyck household, a few years ago. Killua's age: 3 Silva: Dad, can you put Killua in bed? I've got to go kill this guy who... Zeno: Ah, whatever. Tsk. Who am I, your babysitter? Here, Killua, in bed, be good, grandpa's going to tell you a story. Once upon a time, in a distant land, there was a king... Killua: Is it a fairytale? Zeno: No, it's not a fairytale. It's a story that happened to your grandpa. So, there was this king, and I was sent to kill him. But I couldn't come anywhere near him 'cos he had too many guards and also my contract asked me to avoid being seen, so I made fucking energy dragons rain on his palace and killed everyone! The end. Now sleep and don't be a pain in the ass.

You'll know that 10 seconds have passed once APR makes his warning. Edit: It seems likely to me that the Main Stairway and the King's Room are slightly off sync in the timing. Unless we're supposed to assume that the King was grieving at the speed of sound or something. |
