Gon's Problem - Hunter x Hunter ep. 69-71: Media Club Plus S01E22 screenshot post
🕑 Added 2024-07-09 23:46:52 +0000 UTCWelcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. Razor, the Pirate King/Gym Teacher who runs a beachfront presidential fitness course, is ready to play a game of Dodgeball. And that's what we do. It's almost all that we do, for 3 episodes. But in a good way.
As always we are brought to you by Friends at the Table. This season, we're watching 2011's Hunter x Hunter, based on the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi. In this episode we cover episodes 69-71, titled A x Heated x Showdown, Guts x And x Courage, and Bargain x And x Deal. Next episode we'll be covering episodes 72-75, titled Chase x And x Chance, Insanity x And x Sanity, Victor x And x Loser, and Ging's Friends x And x True Friends.

just relistened to this! I was thinking about Hisoka saying "it's always nice to have friends." It's always felt to me like the multiplication sign in the title is about how in the show relationships are the vehicles by which hunters get stronger (using the hunter definition of strength). So if Hisoka wants Gon to grow as strong as possible, strong friends are essential to his gross plans

I'm surprised no one discussed the detail of Gon's bandage being reminiscent of the scarf Jing always wears. It felt like it matched really well with the more explicit lines being drawn between them in that moment. One of the reasons I love listening to the show is hearing the cast point out connections and details I never would have noticed otherwise. Y'all are doing amazing!

The dodgeball rules here are basically totally normal Japanese rules. Hence why there are similarities to various Japanese video games. Also, pretty certain Togashi was drawing a direct parallel between Razor being "saved" by someone from being a murderer and Killua.

I must once again congratulate you on the choice of that original gorilla dodgeball screenshot. I'm also watching HxH for the first time, and the comedic timing of the gorillas unceremoniously popping out of the ether like it's no big deal after all this build-up couldn't have been funnier if the animation team had been in on the joke.

Again, not watching the show myself, but from the descriptions at the start the show's version of Dodge Ball sounds a lot like what I played in Gym class in Germany. Also fun fact, the German name for Dodge Ball translates to "People Ball" in English. Do with that what you want.

any thoughts about another screenshot stream for the later half of the show? (jack, watch haikyuu!)

I have been waiting for this since the 1st episode of this show dropped. Now, no brakes all the way through ants. Then... The manga!
