VerifiedEl ingenio de Gon y el poder oculto de Kurapika hacen un increíble dúo en este episodio. Ver cuán profundo es el odio de Kurapika hacia la tropa fantasma es algo impresionante.

VerifiedGon and Kurapika moments in this episode. Gon fights in a candle battle where the first candle to go out loses. And finally we see Gon using his brain! What a turntable. Then Kurapika shows his ability when angry. Never make Kurapika angry! His strength is unstoppable! Don’t skip this episode. It’s enjoyable from the start.

VerifiedI’m getting serious death game vibes. The prisoners are brutal, and the fights are surprisingly visceral. It’s not just a brawl; it’s a mental game. If you’re into tactical battles rather than just button mashing, this is the episode for you. Do not miss.

VerifiedShort-lived showdowns, but still amazing. I love how Gon fights with his simple-minded approach, while Kurapika’s calm demeanor starts to crack, making the situation even more intense and exciting.

VerifiedIt felt like a battle of wits between Gon and Sedokan. What a great match, even if it was short, lol. This episode leans more into Kurapika’s character, giving him more focus and depth.
sandaime
VerifiedThat was such a badass moment for Kurapika. It was also a bit funny to know more reasons on how his Scarlet Eyes get triggered. Still, a really solid and enjoyable episode overall.

VerifiedKurapika’s composure tightens the moment something familiar crosses his path. The shift in tone is subtle but powerful, revealing how deeply certain symbols still affect him. It’s a brief moment, yet it adds weight to his otherwise controlled demeanor.

VerifiedIn this episode gon did something very gon a clever idea to put out the flame of his opponent and kurapi burst his angry when he saw the spider troupe mark on his opponent. Never mess kurapi and pretend to be a phantom troupe there will no more tomorrow for you

I honestly don't get why it is going on a down hill, this episode really disappointed me. How can an important occupation like being a Hunter have a cooking phase? Its like one piece for some reason. It has really lost some of its touch in my perspective.

Trick Tower flips the whole exam vibe. Suddenly it's tight spaces and weird rules, so the tension is all mental now. You start seeing who actually thinks ahead and how people react when things get weird. Less running around, more brain work.

Episode 9 nails a wild tonal shift. 1sthalf has Gon hilariously outsmarting his opponent with pure innocence, then it flips to Kurapika’s fight, intense and deadly, showing just how powerful he is. The contrast makes the episode so good and unexpected that it leaves an impact.

Tonpa finally shows his true colors and it's exactly what you expected. Gon's candle match is clever and tense in the best way. but Kurapika's match is the real standout here. that secret he reveals? changes everything you thought you knew about him 🌟

Gon is trolling hard here! And Kurapika surprise us in this episode.

VerifiedEPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting in the thick of the Hunter Exam arc, episode 9 escalates the third phase's trials after the group navigated critical decision-making in the previous episode. The confrontations here deepen the dynamic between Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio, stress-testing alliances that will prove essential in the exam's even more grueling later stages. With 139 episodes still ahead, this is foundational character work — how these three handle adversity now shapes everything that follows.
