And This... Is To Go Even Further Beyond - Hunter x Hunter ep. 131-133: Media Club Plus S01E42
🕑 Added 2025-04-25 00:03:49 +0000 UTCWelcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us.
Bad vibes all around! Does Gon Freecss become the least shounen protagonist of all time? Or the most? And how long can Pouf and Youpi hope to keep Meruem away from Komugi, or even from merely her name? Or the word Gungi? And what's with all this blood? Hey was something up with that bomb?
Thanks to Austin for joining us on a doozy of an episode he asked to be on almost as far back as the show's conception.
This week we cover episodes 131-133, titled Anger x and x Light, FLash x and x Start, and Deadline x to x Live. Next episode we'll be covering episodes 134-136, titled The Word x Is x You, This Person x And x This Moment, and Homecoming x And x True Name.

I started listening to this podcast last month and am only in Greed Island now, but I couldn't resist jumping ahead to listen to this episode set. While I've heard the Kite as a stand-in for Ging reading before, it was the first time I heard someone suggest Gon would see Kite as Ging's Killua or impose a type of relationship between them and react according to that imagined connection. My heart was also broken by the idea that Gon was intentionally distancing himself from Killua in order to stay on his path. Loved rolling these new insights around in my brain. Looking forward to listening to the next set of episodes later today (and then I'll go back to Greed Island and pretend things are fine again).

I've been doing so good. SO good at keeping pace with the podcast (on my second viewing...) until this point, but this shit is so good I marathoned like from the end of these episodes to halfway through the remaining show. THIS is television.
