VerifiedEl examen comienza, una larga carrera los espera. Será que consiguen pasar, alguno de los cuatro se quedará atrás en esta etapa. Leorio parece alguien muy normal, conseguirá seguir en pie.

VerifiedExam starts on this episode! Gon and Killua befriend each other and breeze through the first exam, while Leorio’s already exhausted. Phase 1 is simple, but then intimidating Hisoka shows up with his card tricks. Total badass! Can’t wait for the next Hunter Exam challenge.

VerifiedThis felt like the moment the duo clicks—Gon and Killua just casually racing mid-exam like it’s a game, while everyone else is dying 😭 I love that contrast. Then boom, deeper character stuff hits right after. Balanced episode. Watch it, no question.
reirei
VerifiedIt’s time for my favorite duo to rise! Killua and Gon’s interactions are so cute. Not much happens plot-wise, but I like the pacing, and the added character backstories make it more meaningful.

VerifiedThis was such a cute episode as Gon and Killua finally get to know each other. So wholesome! We also learn more about Kurapika and Leorio, adding depth to their characters and making their dynamics more engaging.
sandaime
VerifiedLove this episode! Not much happens overall, but the ending is very thought-provoking, making the Hunter Exam feel more exciting and unpredictable as the stakes slowly build up.

VerifiedThe endurance trial turns things serious; it’s less flashy and more about grit. The episode steadily tightens the screws and suddenly the exam feels consequential. Expect pressure and character-testing moments that make you care who survives.
pendragon
VerifiedThis episode might look simple on the surface, but it builds tension quietly. You start noticing small details and subtle character traits. It keeps things interesting without needing dramatic moments.

VerifiedStarting this episode lots cant keep up to Satotz. showing how hard the exam is. kind a good challenge for hunter, Gon meet killua and now they wanna race. Its nice to see some are getting to know more each other. I commend putting some funny scene to break some serious part.

VerifiedEpisode 4 revealed deep details why Kurapika and Leorio's want to be Hunters. It also shows their deep emotions. This episode also makes Killua and Gon close by asking why they want to be a Hunter.

Mr. Leorio is very serious on terms of formality it seems, and that is interesting.
They have also introduced a new face, Mr. Mathew, Damn he looks shady to me.

Now we're diving deep into the characters motivation, especially Leorio. I did not expect such a backstory coming from his easy-go-lucky attitude. It is also funny to see other examiners getting a hard time while Gon&Killua's just having fun and competing with one another.

Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio reach the Hunter Exam’s true starting point, but the trial begins before they even realize it. Maintaining stamina and mental fortitude is the name of the game as a massive group descends into a grueling endurance test. The marathon has officially begun.

Gon and Killua meeting for the first time, i tear up a bit. 🥺Kurapika and Leorio's backstories finally drop. must watch 🌟

In Hunter x Hunter Episode 4, the Hunter Exam intensifies as Gon, Leorio, Kurapika, and Killua face a tough first challenge. They must demonstrate their endurance and teamwork, while also navigating unexpected obstacles that test their resolve and determination.

This episode is light on flashy battles and focuses more on getting to know the lead characters, including their reasons for joining the Hunter Exam. What I especially enjoyed was the ending, where Hisoka boldly attacked the examiner to show his strength.

Pretty essential since this episode introduce Hisoka and also shows how brutal and dangerous Hunter Exam are.

VerifiedEPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 4 sits firmly in the opening stretch of the Hunter Exam arc, building on the exam's introduction in episodes 1-3 while the real tests are still escalating. The character dynamics established here — particularly the motivations driving Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and Killua — become foundational for everything that follows across 148 episodes. This episode bridges the initial setup phase into the more complex and psychologically demanding trials ahead, making it essential connective tissue rather than a standalone showcase.
