Oh, and how neat is it that the hunter after Gon appears as a challenge after Gon's moment of triumph? Or that he succeeds? It's convenient, but it's also awesome plotting. This guy has Gon in the palm of his hand, but he exercises caution and strikes Gon ironically right when Gon suggests he's at his most vulnerable. (This is neatly foreshadowed in that Gon goes after the bird who's going after the fish... who's actually going after a fly. You can use Gon -> Gon, bird -> Hisoka, and fish -> Hisoka's victim, but on a different level, you've got Gon -> Hunter, bird -> Gon, and fish -> Hisoka... with the fly as Hisoka's victim.)

The other dominant force in these episodes is Hisoka. Malevolent, bloodthirsty, insane, and also so damn calm... until he's denied his fighting against the Leorio/Kurapika, acknowledges the cool move of handing over the free tag, and then freaks the fuck out. Bloodthirst Hisoka is new and fantastic to watch. That is a wonderful shrieking sound when he finally strikes.

* Kurapika/Leorio dream team. Though Monkey Guy/Tonpa is fail team. I'm not sure what Monkey Guy got out of that one.

* Gon propping up the tranq'd out guy and saying "Better luck next time!" is totes adorbs.

* It takes up time to focus on them a lot, but I really like the butterfly motif these few episodes. Gon uses them as a tracker for Hisoka's wound; Hisoka uses them to identify that the guy attacking him is already dead; a lone butterfly caught in a web is juxtaposed over Gon's paralysis at the end there.

* Gon cleaning his face and then shaking himself off like a dog is so great.

* Pincushion man and Hisoka are working together, confirming that Hisoka is indeed a candidate. Also, I'm glad he's finally removed his screws to become... a weird dude who buries himself in the earth. LOL.

* Leorio's weapon against Hisoka is... a tiny switchblade. Yikes. Talk about outgunned...
