    Gon's break down gave me chills, he was willing to lose everything for vengeance and no one would stand in his way. Without Killua he would have lost himself and possibly killed Komugi. I can understand his anger he lost Kite and is told to trust the person who killed him, I doubt any sensible person would. Pitou knew that if Komugi died it would be the end of everything and getting Gon to trust her was her only option at staying alive at that point in time.

    This scene was amazing... All his anger all his pain, hurt everything came out... He wanted revenge.

    I also love how Knuckle always adds some humor to the whole situation, just by being a total badass.
    *SPOILERS*
    See, I would argue it even goes further than just losing Kite, and being faced by the very reason of Kite's suffering. The moment they got there they were with what probably looks like a peculiar scene. Killua being Killua was calculating what it all meant and confirming his prior worries about a 3rd party. Gon being Gon on the other hand saw a scene of Pitou over a helpless Komugi, essentially bringing his mind back to the puppet husk that Kite was turned into.

    That's already a big trigger, but to add onto that he had expectations of how the confrontation would go (confronting Pitou was already enough to get him fired up), but he expected;

    1) To get there and declare a challenge or call for vengeance upon Pitou, and he expected

    2) The response to be a fight with Pitou (most things are supposed to be simple in Gon's mind) that would end up in the fixing of Kite's state and simultaneously delivering justice or vengeance (either or considering Gon's idea of morality isn't as clear cut as one would find in a Shonen anime).

    3) Instead, Pitou put him/herself in a vulnerable position in order to save Komugi, and also pleaded with Gon to wait (something that a villain shouldn't be doing, essentially putting Gon in a conflict where he might have to be the villain if he decides to fight Pitou right then and there), essentially robbing Gon of an outlet for his already seething anger. At this point, this is not a sequence of events that Gon expected in the least nor is he usually expected to process such a complex scenario (at least for his character). The unfairness of the situation just put over the edge on top all of these factors (the amount of anger + frustration at this point ).

    I loved how they also emphasized the temporary role swap. Pitou's known for her/his sinister aura, yet none of that is shown while Gon's aura is rather dark. I absolutely loved the episode!!!

    *Spoilers End*

    It's a great time to start it's only got 3 episodes left before it moves into an indefinite hiatus for who knows how long. For a bit of perspective, the Greed Island Arc was a series of OVA's that came out on 2001, in 2011 the Series started anew and now in 2014 they have caught up.

    Knuckle being a badass


    While I am on the topic of Shonen and Naruto it appears the final arc is finally coming to a conclusion, Naruto has officially saved the world. Again.
    HxH > most Shonen anime

    I haven't watched Naruto in a very long while (hell I'm 9 or so chapters behind on the Naruto and Bleach manga respectively).
