VerifiedTense scene between Gon and Killua’s brother. He shock with Gon's strength. But a bit slow episode. Next objective, Gon’s friends try to rescue Killua. Drags a bit at the end, but it’s still a must-watch to understand the next episode.

VerifiedThe family dynamic is way more messed up than I thought. This episode dives into the Zoldyck lore, and it’s creepy as hell. It adds so much flavor to Killua’s character. It’s a must-watch; you can’t understand him without this context.

VerifiedA great episode to kick off a new adventure with the trio, now officially Hunters. The pacing felt smooth and engaging, making it easy to stay invested without feeling bored.

VerifiedThis was a great conclusion to the Hunter Exam, marking the start of a new journey. It’s more dialogue-driven than action-packed, but it’s very important to the story and adds depth to the characters.

VerifiedOne journey ends and another begins. I love how well-paced this episode is, with no unnecessary filler after the arc. It transitions smoothly into the next part of the story.

VerifiedThis episode feels heartwarming after the emotional weight of the exam. What stands out most is the quiet loyalty between the trio. Their decision says more than words ever could, showing that their bond has grown into something genuine and solid.

I'm surprised with how strong Gon really is, he don't even have a clue.

This series really delves so much into the character detail, they've all been through so much since, especially on this ship. Hisoka has everyone scared of him, but Gon as always looks very focused. This anime also portrays that well, this character Gon has an ambition.
pendragon
The exam wraps up, and Gon immediately focuses on finding his friend. No big action, just pure loyalty driving him. You really feel how much his friends matter now.

This ep focuses on the aftermath of the Hunter Exam. I love what they did with Killua—it sets up a new arc and dives into his past. We also get more lore about Gon’s dad, and I really admire what he’s done—truly a legendary Hunter.

On this episode, we meet all the approved applicants who obtained the Hunter License. Gon cannot stand idly by because of Killua's incident and decides to embark on his search with the help of Kurapika and Leorio.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 21 marks a critical turning point as the Hunter Exam arc concludes and the fallout from Killua's disqualification forces Gon and his friends to shift from competitors to allies on a deeply personal mission. The structured trials of the exam give way to something rawer — a story about chosen family versus blood ties. This episode directly sets the stage for the Zoldyck Family arc, transitioning the series into darker, more character-intimate territory.
