「ツヨイ × カ × ヨワイ × カ」 (Tsuyoi × ka × Yowai × ka)
“Strong × Or × Weak”
I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t as deeply moved or driven mad by tension as I have in varying degrees with pretty much every ep in the last couple of months, but there was still some amazing stuff here (including possibly the all-anime debut of octo-barf).

「イツワリ × ノ × イカリ」 (Itsuwari × no × Ikari)
“A × False × Rage”
That apology didn’t really sound sincere to me…

「ブジョク × ニハ × セツジョク」 (Bujoku × niwa × Setsujoku)
“Insult × And × Payback”
The torture continues…

「フクシュウ×ト×シュウフクン」 (Fukushuu × to × shuufuku)
“Revenge x And x Recovery”
Truly, this is the anime every great manga deserves but so damn few ever get.

「ギム × ト × ギモン」 (Gimu × to × Gimon)
“Duty × And × Question”
Watching this arc really is the agony and the ecstasy…

「ブンダン×ト×ゴサン」 (Bundan × to × Gosan)
“Divide x and x Conquer”
I’m going to the well time after time in trying to sing the praises this series deserves, and all I’m coming up with is pure awe at this point.

「ムシ×ダケド×カシ」 (Mushi x Dakedo x Kashi)
“An x Indebted x Insect”
It’s not that often I can say this with anime, but I’ve truly never seen anything like what Hunter X Hunter is doing right now.

「カイブツ×ト×カイブツ」 (Kaibutsu x to x Kaibutsu)
“”Monster × And × Monster” “
I suppose if Togashi-sensei can turn one minute into an entire episode, I can get a few paragraphs out of it – but boy, he sure doesn’t make it easy to describe what he – and Madhouse – are accomplishing here.

「トツニュウ × シテ × シンニュウ」 (Kougeki x to x Sekeiru)
“Charge × And × Invade”
After 111 episodes of brilliance – and a preview full of spoilers – Hunter X Hunter can still utterly surprise me. That’s brilliant writing and direction, plain and simple.

「コンワク × ト × オモワク」 (Konwaku × to × Omowaku)
“Confusion × And × Expectation”
Shoot, I think I’ve figured out what you were talking about…
