"Kessai to Kassai"

ケッサイ × ト × カッサイ

Last week a major upset among the Hunter fandom erupted once Bisky was voted out of the election, clearly the worst thing to have ever happened in this show. Hisoka kills the butlers who were truing to reveal his identity. Will he face the wrath of the Zoldyck family? Will the election finally goddamn come to a winner after playing Musical Chairs for days on end? Find out on...

Toonami, at .... the last half-hour of the block!

Did you word it like this on purpose or are you seriously that dyslexic?

[saito34]

HxH got the shaft

 

[OSC]

Pefect...haha

[DangerMouse]

Cheadle's too moral eh

[OSC]

"He doesn't want to win, but he doesn't want to lose."

"Wait. He wears ties?"

----------

"A game? But I don't want a running nose."

[mochi]

Cheadle looks like Jeanette from Alvin and the Chipmunks

[OSC]

"That guy is patient."

"And Gon is a patient."

"That was a low blow."

[DangerMouse]

LOL Leorio

[DangerMouse]

Get to work Cheadle

Last time a premiere ended the night was Beware The Batman's final episode on 9/27/14, but I don't count that because it was a write-off-loss-of-rights-induced situation.

HOLY CRAP MENCHI!!!

[DangerMouse]

BISKY!

[OwlChemist81]

I think it's funny that Juni Taisen pretty much ripped off this arc, and didn't even last as long as it!

[DangerMouse]

Pariston keeps fucking with them. Pretty realistic, they suck at voting just as much as we do.

[OwlChemist81]

I believe the implication is that if he screws this up, all these people could die!

Wow...def

[DangerMouse]

"Only one of us here is qualified and that is Cheadle"

Well, he's not wrong.

So no doubt this somehow playing straight into Pariston's hand.

Later: "And the winner is..... Chester? Chester Cheeto? OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!"

[DangerMouse]

LOL Leorio needed some more time

[DangerMouse]

"I will abuse my authority!"

LMAO

Leorio: "The next chairman should be.... The One."

"Neo?"

Leorio: "Who?"

[DangerMouse]

Leorio about to earn sympathy votes

[OSC]

Leorio: "Respect my authoriteh!!!!"

[OSC]

"Do whatever you can to save Gon! Spare a body part! Sell your soul! Make him chairman!"

[DangerMouse]

LMAO I was right

 

So Cheadle's found a person besides herself she'd be okay with, so she's got a second play against Pariston eh

[OwlChemist81]

BTW, Bunny Girl is Alice!

Oh shut up, Pariston!

[DangerMouse]

Who doesn't Cheadle, lmao

[saito34]

[OSC]

And the new chairman is... THEY CHOSE JIF?!! That joke wasn't supposed to be a running one."

[OSC]

Just now, saito34 said:

Dammit!! Why didn't I think of that?"

[DangerMouse]

Woah, were they communicating when she was talking to herself there?

night errbidy

[OwlChemist81]

Now I see why this show ended up at 3 AM. No action, all talk. Not that it isn't good; it's just the best bet to put on late. But it usually outdoes 2:30 Shippuden in the ratings!
