Gon himself ends up with the highest score which allows him to enter Game Master's Castle. Upon entering said Castle Gon meets up with two game masters, Dwun and List. This game master duo awards Gon with the very last card in the game, #0 "Ruler's Blessing" and allow him to choose three cards that he can bring back to the real world. After each of the three pick a card for themselves (Bisky is especially happy to get hers #81 "Blue Planet"), Gon and Killua give their emotional goodbyes to Bisky. Then Gon and Killua use Accompany to travel to "Nigg," the name listed. Then they appear in a foggy forest like place, with a figure leaning on a tree, fishing. Gon and Killua look in amazement thinking they have finally found Ging at last, but have they? Join us for Hunter x Hunter tonight as we enter the world of the Chimera Ant arc. Let's hang out and watch a little Hunter x Hunter Only on Toonami Edited December 9, 2017 by AnimationFan14 1

GIVE it to me!!! <3 But like all things in this anime, the tone will be shifting into darkness a bit slower. Let's just say that when this arc was first airing in Japan, it was the most popular arc in it, and it's also the LONGEST arc!!
PokeNirvash Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Friendly reminder to watch Hunter x Hunter 1999 episode 1 before this one so you can better appreciate what happens. Trust me on this one. 1

The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-this-is-how-we-get-ants/ This contains LIGHT HINTING spoilers (very broad story elements)... so anyone annoyed by those types won't read the the second-to-last paragraph! But this explains WHY I am so excited that this arc is finally starting on Toonami dubbed! 1
mochi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 time for everyone's favorite, POSSIBLY future Gay couple Gon and Killua 1 1

The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 One reason: This arc wasn't ever animated! Not in the 1999 anime. Not even in the OVAs. So we're in new adaptation territory! 1
Gyaos Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Lol, wtf? I misheard the clown and thought he said something other than "Crazy Slots."

Gyaos Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 I don't think that is Ging. He's too white. And his hair is the wrong color.

Gyaos Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 "Chimera Ant." That's the name of this arc. 1
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 That is one shonen-style exterminator. Important Exposition!
AnimationFan14 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Posted December 10, 2017 This score is always used so well in these moment
mochi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Just now, Gyaos said: "Chimera Ant." That's the name of this arc. probably because the Manga went on a 10 year haitus after this scene so nobody had any other context for this arc 1
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 ... oh i know why people told me to watch that ep in the 1999 anime before now. 1
mochi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Just now, Gyaos said: Of course he knows Ging. Everybody seems to. all we've learned about Ging is that he's an even worse father than Goku 1
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 .... GING WAS HIS MASTER?? Masterkite. That's the name of my entry into the Spring Competition!
mochi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) if Gon ever does find Ging I hope he punches Ging and tells him he's a horrible father then Killua comforts Gon and it cuts to them as an old married gay hunter couple years in the future Edited December 10, 2017 by mochi 2

Gon has tears of happiness, and his dad's like "Oy, so you found me? I guess that's cool." So yeah, he's a shitty dad.
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Oh god a flashback. Yep this guy is important to this arc I guess.
