El juego entre Gon y Killua con el jefe de los cazadores es simplemente genial. Las habilidades de Killua son excepcionales y la creatividad de Gon es increíble.

First 12 minutes can skip cause nothing to do with the Hunter Exam. The rest is fun. Killua and Gon vs Netero trying to steal his ball. We see both their skills. Very entertaining. Without this scene, the whole episode would be skippable.

Talk about a massive tonal shift. The stakes jump from "cooking pigs" to "playing ball with an old guy." It’s a great breather, and seeing Gon and Killua interact is peak comedy. Don't skip—it’s the start of the best friendship in the series. Pure fun.

Another slightly lighter episode as they set up for the Third Phase of the exam. The showdown between Killua, Gon, and Netero was unexpected. It should’ve been tense, but Gon was just too cute.

This felt like a lighthearted episode. I love how Netero acts like a playful grandpa toward Killua and Gon, just messing around with them. Lol. It’s a fun break from the tension while still keeping things entertaining.

A lighter episode, almost like a cooldown. We also get to see more of Killua’s personality, which adds depth to his character and makes him even more interesting to watch.

A quieter but meaningful episode that highlights Gon’s attention to small details. His awareness of subtle changes shows a different kind of strength—less about power, more about instinct and empathy. It’s a calm build that quietly reinforces who he really is.

Examiners notice how hisuka strong trying to challenge them. killua casually telling gon his from family of assassins. Then Netero play with the kids this kind of scene im waiting for showing some of their ability. so amazing hoping more of this kind of scene

This episode dives deeper into precision and preparation. It’s interesting how ego and carelessness become obvious without being explicitly called out. You can skip this episode, but it keeps you invested in seeing how applicants handle the challenge.

This anime is really heartwarming, I was surpised that Leario had goals other than money. Amazing, just too good

This episode started out slow, but then it shows us a glimpse on Killua's character. I love how dark and mysterious he is but goes to child-mode when he is with Gon. I also enjoyed the game they played and it was really hype when Killua showed one of his moves.

Killua casually dropping that his whole family are assassins - started wishing I'm a Zoldyck. Chairman Netero shows up and immediately humbles both boys in the most fun way possible. great ep for understanding just how deep Killua's background goes 🌟

Nothing major happen, can skip this and you will still be fine.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting between the grueling early phases of the Hunter Exam and the challenges still to come, episode 7 serves as a pivotal transitional piece that deepens the Gon-Killua dynamic and introduces Netero as a figure of enormous significance. The preceding episodes tested the candidates physically and mentally; this one reframes the exam as something far larger by exposing just how vast the gap in ability truly is. It sets the emotional and thematic foundation for the increasingly dangerous trials ahead.
