oh god, i love ALL characters so much! well, except for the king and the royal guard (though i´d devour Pitou in a sexual way).

The way the ending music tuned into the final scene of Leol and whatshisname was so perfect, almost got me to tears. so random. d´awww.

More importantly though: Our heroes are fucked. And by that I mean raped. Knov lost his will to fight by only seeing Pitou´s chakra. I don´t think it´s wrong to say that we so far assumed Knov to be significantly stronger than both Killua and Gon. Since whatshisname probably won´t be much stronger and, more probably, will struggle in his fight against Leol (purely based on the logic that having him easily defeat two middle ranked ants in a row would be lame), that means we don´t even have to count on them in a fight against the royal guard.

So that leaves ... Netero.

At this point, the following needs to happen for our heroes to stand even the slightest chance:

- There are other, yet unknown hunter organization members that will join the ranks of Netero. Maybe they´re yet inactive because they´re THAT powerful that they don´t really care about some "ants"
- the Spiders come to help for ... reasons. And they fight one royal guard member all together as a team.
- the Zaoldyeks join the fight. Again, engaging in a fight against only one royal guard member.
- Ging, Gon´s father, appears and kills one royal guard member. He´s really the only character i can somewhat imagine to be able to do that.

Since I´m absolutely sure Pitou is the enemy for Gon and Killua (and I have no idea how that´ll work out, since Gon, as is, should have no chance. Not in a raw power and also not in terms of tricky ability. He doesn´t have one), as well as Netero going after the king, that leaves butterfly and satan for the rest.


PS: While I ended up liking the portrayal of Knov´s despair, it was partly ruined due to all the unrealistic behavior before. Why is he running like a normal person now, and why is he out of breath after running 2-3 kilometers, if even that? The very first hunter exam was, what, a 400 km marathon?
