Summary

Hunters are a special breed， dedicated to tracking down treasures， magical beasts， and even other men。 But such pursuits require a license， and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam。 Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas， amazing stores of information， and the right to call themselves Hunters。

6: PART 1
Killua is under attack！！ Confronted with a sniper that's shooting Flea-Bullets from afar， Killua must predict where the next shot will hit or fall victim to the fleas that are draining all his blood。 But there are more surprises in store as other snipers aim to take a shot at him！ Being a human dartboard was not of today's to-do list！ Meanwhile， Gon's silent stalker finally reveals himself。。。 with a proposition Gon never expected！

This volume has everything。 The chimera ant king meets his match in a board game， Gon and Killua befriend chimeras， Morel and Knov's abilities are showcased， Knuckle is feeding strays and Cheetu conjures an 8 hrs long game of tag as his new ability – which turns out to be quite idiotic considering his short attention span。 I absolutely love how Morel instantly pokes holes in Cheetu's new ability and calls him out on it， something I wish happened more in supernatural fiction。 Also， octopi are coo This volume has everything。 The chimera ant king meets his match in a board game， Gon and Killua befriend chimeras， Morel and Knov's abilities are showcased， Knuckle is feeding strays and Cheetu conjures an 8 hrs long game of tag as his new ability – which turns out to be quite idiotic considering his short attention span。 I absolutely love how Morel instantly pokes holes in Cheetu's new ability and calls him out on it， something I wish happened more in supernatural fiction。 Also， octopi are cool！ 。。。more

The book was good the thought the characters had were good the book finsihed。 In a very clever way Morel tied a nen rope around cheetu leg in a game of tag。 Knowing he couldn’t out run him he outsmarted him。 As Morel act as he took a nap he left a copy of himself。 And he crawled around the whole area as he wasnt looking 。 Tied the rope around hima nd when he ran he got stuck。 So he tagged him and was able to escape。

i just want to point out how Gon and Killua still want to fight Neferpitou after everything happened to Kaito。 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Also i want to point out the beginning lf Killua x Octopus friendship ;’）Both the anime and manga melt my heart

Killua kicks a lot of ass while the Ant King plays board games with people。Chased into a forest by the dragonfly Ant， Killua stumbles into a trap wherein he is forced to kill a hell of a lot of Ants with his bare hands， in order to keep his yo-yos and electroshock powers hidden。 There's this thing that plagues the manga as a whole， which is mild censorship with see-through black boxes laid over the more graphic scenes of violence。 Somewhat bothersome when they ruin the otherwise-extremely-fluid Killua kicks a lot of ass while the Ant King plays board games with people。Chased into a forest by the dragonfly Ant， Killua stumbles into a trap wherein he is forced to kill a hell of a lot of Ants with his bare hands， in order to keep his yo-yos and electroshock powers hidden。 There's this thing that plagues the manga as a whole， which is mild censorship with see-through black boxes laid over the more graphic scenes of violence。 Somewhat bothersome when they ruin the otherwise-extremely-fluid combat by sticking out a little too much。 There are a couple panels that are just cut off in favor of showing pitch-black wedges， which is actually a more interesting artistic/aesthetic choice。 And the censorship is maybe justified anyway， as Killua utterly destroys these Ants。It's still amazing that Togashi's art often looks a little "rough" or overly-simple at times， yet his masterful eye is ever-vigilant with his fantastic fight choreography。 So much movement in single panels， with the action flowing wonderfully in subsequent shots。The Ant King meets Komugi， allowing him to calm his tits a bit in favor of playing games with her， instantly fleshing his character out more than just DUDE MURDER LMAO， which of course has the added consequence of further developing the weight of the story arc， being indeed the greatest arc in the shounen action genre。 。。。more

Lots of action and suspense！ A plan begins to take form。

3。5 / 5This volume seemed like mostly filler TBH， and nothing much really happened， aside from a couple of quick battles with Kil and a rather prolongued one with Morel （which is TBC in the next volume）。 We also have the "King" trying out his abilities with board games for some reason， and a potential new ally for Gon and co。 revealed。 A lot of set up， and not a huge amount of follow through at this stage honestly 8'DChapter notes below for reference:（view spoiler）[Chapter 236。 （view spoiler）[W 3。5 / 5This volume seemed like mostly filler TBH， and nothing much really happened， aside from a couple of quick battles with Kil and a rather prolongued one with Morel （which is TBC in the next volume）。 We also have the "King" trying out his abilities with board games for some reason， and a potential new ally for Gon and co。 revealed。 A lot of set up， and not a huge amount of follow through at this stage honestly 8'DChapter notes below for reference:（view spoiler）[Chapter 236。 （view spoiler）[What… the… hell… How many opponents does Kil have？ Are they chimera， or something else？ Because I really don’t feel that many of them are actually chimera… maybe Nen beasts？--Most of them are done for… but it appears the leader… *ahem*。。。 farted rather… explosively in Kil’s face （。。。I’ll show myself out now）。 So Kil’s pissed。--。。。I’m sorry， is that a sniper that shoots fleas？ （hide spoiler）]Chapter 237。 （view spoiler）[Oh… well that’s disgusting。 Thanks， dude。 Freaking octopus tentacles coming out of his freaking mouth， and freaking monsters in an underground lake （a trap， obviously - that was even announced as a trap to Kil， so this guy is clearly rather confident in his abilities）。。。。Wait a sec…。。。Water + electricity = Kil should be fineeeeee （hide spoiler）]Chapter 238。 （view spoiler）[WAIT。 THE SNIPER WAS A HUMAN HOST FOR AN OCTOPUS PARASITE？ And THAT’S what shot the fleas？ OH MY GAWD。--Wow o。O Impressive， Kil！ Not only did you defeat your opponent， but you made them respect you to the extent that they refused to give up your abilities to their “superior officer”。 That’s some Naruto shit， right there。--What just got put on Kil？ A tracking device maybe？（hide spoiler）]Chapter 239。 （view spoiler）[。。。what the HELL… This guy is basically playing darts， from somewhere else， but his hits on the dartboard become actual hits on Kil？ o。O--Kil definitely has a plan to defeat their ability… but WHAT。。。 （hide spoiler）]Chapter 240。 （view spoiler）[。。。So Kil definitely won， but I’m lost 8’D--Huh。 Kil used his knowledge of a professional game of darts （。。。which I didn’t realise he even HAD， but okay） to determine what the final throw would be， and thus what he needed to do to win。 Huh。 （hide spoiler）]Chapter 241。 （view spoiler）[OH MY GOSH， YES。 THIS IS AMAZING。 The “NOT AN OCTOPUS” guy is betraying his comrades to help Kil because of what he said and did earlier。 I’m so happyyyyyyy ;u;--I love the not-an-octopus guy ;u;--What’s the game of the guy who has （FINALLY） revealed himself to Gon？ Is he trying to kill the king too？ （hide spoiler）]Chapter 242。 （view spoiler）[I love this guy so much XD The chameleon chimera is trying to hard to teach Gon not to immediately trust people… but at the same time wanting him to trust him… but also thinking it’s stupid that Gon would trust him immediately… he’s going back and forth a LOT and it’s great ;D--Seems like a trap， but I don’t think it is。 （hide spoiler）]Chapter 243。 （view spoiler）[Huh。 Neat！ So that’s his third ability， huh？ It’s impressive。--So Gon wants this guy to team up with Knuckle instead？ Makes sense honestly。 After all， he seems just as strong as Gon is at present （possibly stronger）， AND has the tactics and experience to back it up！--Hang on a second… is that bird the chairman？--Nope。 Just controlled by the chairman。--Meanwhile， apparently the King is playing board games with the champions of each。 First shogi， then go。 （hide spoiler）]Chapter 244。 （view spoiler）[I’ve never heard of Gungi… Is that a real game？ Nope。 Checked Google and it was created for Hunter x Hunter。 Neat！--There’s something about this girl… definitely more than she appears。--Knuckle has quite the collection of dogs now， huh？ Wonder what’ll happen with them after this arc…--Oh look！ The cheetah chimera is back！ And somehow he’s gotten rid of Knuckle’s interest thing… how？ （hide spoiler）]Chapter 245。 （view spoiler）[。。。Really？ His name is Cheetu？ That’s original *rolls eyes*--So his special Nen ability is a pocket dimension， in which someone can only escape through “tagging” him。 Interesting…--The “little girl” is still kicking the “King’s” ass， and it’s great。 （hide spoiler）]Chapter 246。 （view spoiler）[Does Knov use his puddle things for teleportation？ o。O--Huh。 It IS a teleportation ability。 Weird though。--He found the dragonfly dude， and is gonna try and take him out！--Not sure disrupting this one’s rhythm is going to work how you think it will， Meruem。（hide spoiler）]Chapter 247。 （view spoiler）[Aha， I knew it！ Still can’t beat her， huh？ But I think you’re definitely getting closer…--A smoke rope to prevent Cheetu from being able to run away？ GENIUS。--Whoa， whoa， whoa… What was that？ What did Cheetu just do？ （hide spoiler）]（hide spoiler）] 。。。more

This volume put in some work with the storytelling， as we have a lot of moving pieces - figuratively and literally:- Killua continues his solo rampage， laying waste to a number of incompetent Chimera Ants。 Unfortunately， he get's upended by what I would consider the first overpowered Nen ability in the HxH thus far: FISH DARTS。 At least Kil gets a new ability out of it - if he can survive the blood loss。- You'll probably be wiping your eyes from the budding new friendships。 Killua and Gon each f This volume put in some work with the storytelling， as we have a lot of moving pieces - figuratively and literally:- Killua continues his solo rampage， laying waste to a number of incompetent Chimera Ants。 Unfortunately， he get's upended by what I would consider the first overpowered Nen ability in the HxH thus far: FISH DARTS。 At least Kil gets a new ability out of it - if he can survive the blood loss。- You'll probably be wiping your eyes from the budding new friendships。 Killua and Gon each found their own Chimera Ant allies， respectively: Ikalgo， the "cool" octopus， and Meleoron， the over-cautious chameleon。 This deepens the connection to the Chimera Ants and their past humanity。- Meanwhile， it seems Meruem， the Chimera Ant King， has finally met his match - in a board game。 Oddly dedicated to mastering every board game to pass the time， he beats all the masters he can find until the blind， sniffling Komugi wipes the floor with him in a fictional game that resembles chess。 As the main villain is beaten down again and again， his minions and our heroes toil on。- Morel gets caught by Cheetu's new TAG， YOU'RE IT Nen ability， which is interesting in that Morel immediately pokes the ability full of holes。 Every superpower story has a character like Cheetu， but it's often not addressed: Someone so caught up in their ability that they lose all logical views on its weaknesses。 In Cheetu's case， he conjures up an 8-hour game of tag in a small pocket dimension。 The immediate flaw is in the 8 hours: Cheetu is the fastest being around， but has the patience of a 2-year-old。 So instead of chasing him， Morel just takes a nap and waits for the ant to get bored。 I fully appreciate this battle for its logistics and wish more superpower shows and comics would call characters on their BS abilities。 We don't have to see every ability actually work。- Enjoy the Knov portal showcase。 。。。more

Khari ，

この巻は最高だった。キルアのシーンはすごくかっこよかった！彼の目は私を震わせさせてセリフが笑わせた。ダーツゲームでちょっと心配したんだ。本当に負けないよね、と思うた。彼の姿はちゃんと次巻見えたよね？ちょっと不安になった。一人で倒れた時に可哀そうと思うた。一人ぼっちで可哀そう！！！ゴンもいなかった！ま、それがキルアの性格の問題。彼がいつも一人で背負うってる。ちょっとゴンの性能頼っていいよ！！！

Pure effing gold！ I loved this volume。 I totally forgot about the sea stuff at the beginning！ lol and I love Ikalgo！ Every epic moment with Killua at the beginning and everything with the Ant King was just awesome。 So much action， a bunch of new character development （as well as a very important new character）， and a whole load of creative new abilities。 I just adore this series and this arc and I'm so ready for what is to come。 Pure effing gold！ I loved this volume。 I totally forgot about the sea stuff at the beginning！ lol and I love Ikalgo！ Every epic moment with Killua at the beginning and everything with the Ant King was just awesome。 So much action， a bunch of new character development （as well as a very important new character）， and a whole load of creative new abilities。 I just adore this series and this arc and I'm so ready for what is to come。 。。。more

I like this series， and am currently catching up to where the anime left off。 It's good， and worth the read。 My criticisms are that Gon is obnoxious。 Like a typical shonen hero。 Be forewarned， the Chimera Ant Arc is long。 Interesting but long。 At this point I am reading for anything other than what's going on with Gon。 I like this series， and am currently catching up to where the anime left off。 It's good， and worth the read。 My criticisms are that Gon is obnoxious。 Like a typical shonen hero。 Be forewarned， the Chimera Ant Arc is long。 Interesting but long。 At this point I am reading for anything other than what's going on with Gon。 。。。more

Did we cross into Yu-Gi-Oh territory there？This is starting to drag out again。 Togashi-sensei seems to like really long story arcs， and they start running too long by the end。
