Donīt remember the Bomber-fight, too, though I remember the Greed Island-end.
To be honest, the Bomber, or rather Genthru, always felt rather random to me. Just why is he that strong in active battle? And he has no direct relation to Gon, not even any build up. Though, of course, all that is excused by the fact that this Greed Island-arc isnīt really about defeating this villain. Itīs about Gingīs game.
Bomber's the main force that's forcing others to band together and complete the game now that he's close to accomplishing it. I don't know if there is a limit on how many people can complete the game and what happens afterwards, so I'm not really sure what all the rush is about. If someone is hogging the cards, I'd let them have it. They can complete the game and the cards to back into system for the next player who wants to complete the game.

Heh, I also remembered Razor as the climax of this arc, even though I totally remembered them fighting Bomber's team. I guess I assumed the Bomber fight was before they got Razor's card.
I think it's just safe to assume that the game ends once someone wins.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
Otherwise, once it's been figured out, seems like it'd be pretty easy for people afterwards to clear it(although, granted, you'd have to be at least as strong as Razor to get his card).
I think the first run had more gore and damage, which made their win all the better in that depiction.
Hisoka's catch was done better here, but the aftermath in the OVA showed his fingers being completely mangled from that catch. Razor was also shown to have the soles of his shoes completely vaporised from the friction against the bungee-ball.
Too bad Killua's healing for 3 weeks. Gon's ahead of him power-wise (he always will be), and his fists are already an offensive application of his power, so I'm dying to see Killua finally be able to use his electricity in his attacks against opponents.
The only problem with that line of thought is that Gin must have thought nobody could clear the game before his son came along. If that's the case, that's pretty arrogant. Gon's talent is rare, but it's not farfetched to think that someone else could also do it. Was Gin without peer in his generation?
Or are you saying that when the game is cleared, everyone must start from zero again?

Personally, I don't think Ging cares if Gon is the one that beats the game or not. It's there to train him and for him to have fun. Not for him to earn prizes.
Good point.
Talk about your unnecessary double posts...
I'm not 100% on this though, there was a rule where your binder's extra slots got deleted if you got out right? That would mean they'd be out of spell cards once they came back. There might also be other factors involved that i'm not seeing, HxH doesn't tend to have these kind of plot holes.
Gon really is a special case. They had a team consisting of Gon, Killua, Hisoka, and a one-star hunter, and barely managed to stay alive. I dont think its that farfetched to imagine that 10-15 years would go by with no winners.
Also remember, when bisky told Razor to dodge, that serve wasn't nearly as powerful as the one in this episode. It is very well possible Razor couldn't have dodged it had he wanted to.
As far as the build up to Genthru, I feel like this is the only thing thats been done better in the manga this arc.
I never played dodgeball, can anyone explain why Razor couldn't just dodge Gon's ball? Was it because of its speed or of a rule in the game?
I'm also not sure why they can't log out while they wait for them to heal.
Too much talking about future events, even spoiling some things. Please stop.
I'm pretty sure that once he realized how powerful it was, it was too late for him to dodge the ball.

See, if the idea is that Gon gets to play this game, then you have to count on the game not being cleared during the time Gon takes to grow up. According to your own theory, the game finishes once someone clears it.
Gin would have been 100% sure on no one being able to clear it before Gon's arrival.
When Gon fired his first shot, Bisky suggested to Razor that perhaps he should dodge Gon's ball since it's pretty strong. He said she must be kidding. He believes in his own abilities to the point where his pride forbids him from dodging.

I don't think that's the case at all.
Ging strikes me more as the "If my son isn't good enough to find the game and find his way inside before someone beats it, then he wasn't good enough to play it in the first place." type.
Episode 72 is out!!

The most boring game of tag ever!
Hurry up with that Hadoken Gon.
Cant remember this outside-the-game confrontation at all.
And stop being so polize, Tzegerra! Just punch this wooden door wide open, you fool. I mean, clearly Battera is being manipulated. But no, letīs not check up on him. sigh
Episode 73 is out!

I can't believe the pacing of this fight compared to the previous series.. no boring moment.
Funny that even though I know what's going to happen, I can't wait to see the next few episodes. (not to mention that after GI 'new' stuff comes along)
I never got this part in the old show either, why didn't Biscuit just kick the Bomber's ass herself?
Thats what I was going to complain about.
Itīs still nice watching it, BUT thereīs absolutely no tension, no moment of fear involved in these fights. Well, except for Gonīs.
The plan of theirīs makes no sense. Had Bisuke fought Genthru, Gon would have had about as much problems with the black-haired guy as Killua had with his opponent. And Genthru would have stood no chance against Bisuke. Safe victory. Instead, they make this confrontation artificially dangerous by having Gon fight the boss.
Though Iīd also like to complain about Genthruīs comrads being complete wusses. Do you want to tell me that there are no other nen-users inside Greed Island that could match their strength? But Gon and Killua can? Come on.
Still enjoying it all, but this battle is kinda forced in ways.
As if a villain like Genthru would keep around lackeys even remote as strong as he is. He needs his comrades both weaker and stupider than he is because they are all greedy backstabbing bastards.
What? Nuh uh. I mean, sure they'll backstab people, but probably not each other. They've shown significant care for each other when they had that argument about who should use the risky dice. They get to speak their minds freely too, so the relationship seems more amicable than that. Them being weaker than Genthru is probably their own fault.

You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."
