VerifiedSo many participants get eliminated in phase two. Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio fight a monster halfway through the episode, but after that they end up facing Hisoka. I thought Hisoka was going to kill one of them .

VerifiedThis episode had great pacing and a soundtrack that compliments the events that were occurring. It shows how Gon, although seemingly naive, was brave to help his friends. It also gave an insight to an eerie character showcasing his abilities and skills.

VerifiedYeah, this episode flips into straight-up danger fast. I thought this was just another “survival phase” but I guess it's not. Hisoka is terrifying here, and the Gon–Killua duo splitting up actually works to build tension. You don't want to miss it here—it raises the stakes hard.
reirei
VerifiedOne of the best episodes so far, featuring an encounter with a very intriguing character. Leorio looked a bit foolish, which annoyed me, but part of me understands his principles. Still, he really needs to learn when to run.

VerifiedOh, dang, that was such a tense situation. I’m still a bit weirded out by Hisoka’s character, but he’s undeniably strong, which makes him both fascinating and unsettling to watch.
sandaime
VerifiedAs the exam continues, a tense encounter unfolds. The way Hisoka is introduced makes him both intriguing and dangerous. I can relate to how Gon feels—curious, yet aware of the threat he poses.
victor
VerifiedThe tension spikes the moment Hisoka steps into focus. The forest trial shifts from endurance to psychological pressure, and the atmosphere turns genuinely unsettling. This is where the exam stops feeling adventurous and starts feeling dangerous.
pendragon
VerifiedThe swamp phase changes the pace. The environment becomes unpredictable and you can feel the pressure rising. It’s less about racing and more about awareness. The episode does a good job showing how chaotic the exam can get without explaining everything directly.

VerifiedEpisode 5, this episode really nice giving us some fighting scene starting with the monsters encounter, lots of participant lost track of mr.Satotz and hisuka demonstrating how great his ability and another scene for gon saving his friend by his strategic moves.

El examen continua, se enfrentan contra un gran monstruo que los pone en aprietos. Pero el mayor desafío es Hisoka, quien demuestra tener un poder abrumador y bastante sombrío.

Gon and Kurapika really dealt with that kiriko, they both are very sensitive to things, especially Gon. I am just waiting to see what really makes being a hunter so special.

Now this is the action that I've been waiting for. I've been curious about Hisoka's abilties since the beginning and this ep did a great way to show how powerful he is. The world building is also great and it sets up what kind of world Hunter X Hunter is beautifully.

Hisoka finally shows what he's capable of and it's terrifying. Leorio running toward danger instead of away says everything about his character. Gon saving the day in the most Gon way possible. this ep is a must watch to understand what Hisoka is really about 🌟

In Hunter x Hunter Episode 5, the Hunter Exam continues with a fierce trial set by the examiner, Hisoka. Gon and his friends are put to the test, facing high-pressure situations that reveal their strengths and weaknesses. Tensions rise as the competition grows more intense.

This episode was quite fantastic! It demonstrates Hisoka's strength and how he strengthened his threat to others, but Lereo and Kurapika also demonstrated to him what a real opponent is! Looking forward to further encounters!

VerifiedEPISODE CONTEXT
After episodes 1-4 established the candidates and tested their physical endurance through marathon-style challenges, episode 5 escalates the Hunter Exam into psychological and environmental danger, signaling that brute strength alone won't cut it. Hisoka's menacing role here plants seeds for one of the exam arc's most important dynamics. This episode bridges the introductory phase and the deeper, more complex trials ahead, setting expectations for the escalating stakes that define the remainder of the Hunter Exam arc.
