Guy's I assure you, just get through the initial slow start of it all, I was also put off by the abrupt change of pace but prepare for a rollercoaster ride from the heavens that will descend into hell faster than the speed of light, once you arrive you will be begging to stay to see the conclusion of it all.
Bluntly put, The Chimera Ant Arc, it quite possibly the best arc in an aime show in recent times.
Hisoka has him time to shine after the chimera ant arc, In the final arc showing now he features in almost every episode so there is enough Hisoka to go around for everyone! You won't care about him once you dive deeper into this arc.
Some screen dumps to tease you with....
Spoiler warning:
I had some friends complain Gon was a weakling by crying and "being a little bitch" but you have to understand that he is only a boy 13/14 in the Chimera ant arc and 15 in the current Manga. I don't think any sane human being would be able to put up with the amount of emotionally twisted events and generally f*cked up stuff Gon had to go through in the chimera ant arc and still come out okay in the end of it all.
Killua on the other hand is Gon's rock, he was trained to feel nothing and have no attachments to people (there is an exception in the following arc), despite this he stuck through it all with him until the end, and then some. Gon is a prime example of character development, through perseverance, pure hatred turned into revenge and the complete disregard for life in order to exact revenge. He knew very well that his demands on himself were somewhat childish yet he still pursued them and knowing all to well the ultimate price for closure and revenge he still continued.
Killua can be considered the ultimate friend and companion anyone would want, he went through hell and back with Gon, and he would do it again in a heart beat.




I miss hisoka
