VerifiedI don’t really know how to explain it, but I still liked this episode despite the slow pacing and heavy focus on monologues. The beauty of this anime has always been its detailed storytelling anyway. Also, Chrollo Lucilfer just became even more interesting because of this.
VerifiedThis episode was really tense from the beginning and focused more on Kurapika’s POV. The pacing was a bit slower than I would’ve liked, but the last few minutes were really good and honestly made the buildup worth it, lol.
VerifiedThe pacing dragged a little, especially during the first half. But then again, it’s Hunter × Hunter, so it naturally focuses more on narrative and careful world-building. I still found this episode entertaining, especially during the second half.

EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting roughly one-third through the series and deep into the Yorknew City arc, episode 52 escalates directly from the brutal mafia confrontations of the preceding episodes, pushing the conflict between the Phantom Troupe and their opposition toward a critical flashpoint. The introduction of heavyweight players like Silva and Zeno Zoldyck signals that the arc's power dynamics are shifting dramatically. This episode serves as a pivotal bridge between the Troupe's earlier dominance and the high-stakes confrontations still to come, deepening themes of vengeance and the limits of power.
