Hisoka vs Kastro! | Hunter x Hunter Ep 31-32 Reaction

[@YaBoyRoshi]

Loved these episodes! If this reaction vanishes its cause the studio usually cracks down on the fire ass fights. Lets hope this gets to stay up!

[@cayne4207]

YaBoyRoshi Watched a whole lot of reactions to this series and I think by far you’re the most invested and interesting reactor to watch this. Excited for you to get deeper into the series. Much love.

[@aceofspade2120]

This fight was basically the Naruto Kakashi/Zabuza fight. It's the first time you get an idea of what Nen can do in combat

[@BigKing17]

Wing is excited it's like a high school basketball coach discovering Lebron James (Gon) and Kobe Bryant (Killua)

[@CaffeinatedKing]

Hisoka is basically the character you'd fight in a JRPG who would have their level show up as "Lv: ???" Just because you're simply not allowed to know that much about him.

[@meljunmercado220]

then proceed to tell you on your Death screen "you are not ready yet"

[@sama7777]

Hisoka is so unique, one of the best character paired with Togashi's writing

[@Thakillan1]

8:45 mans said “is he about to do a magic trick” when he himself just did a magic trick and changed his whole ass outfit

[@JudgmenTaichi]

One of my favorite aspects of this show is the power system. Nen is so flexible that the applications of it are insane. Love how fitting it is to Hisoka as a magician as well.

[@trudy7784]

Kink Creamson the best power/magic system in anime ever

[@nullakjg767]

Whats wild is this fight is basically just a tutorial and is probably one of the worst in hxh. If he liked this hes gonna be over the moon for the rest of them.

[@L4C3-L4]

The more difficult the structure of the power system is the more there is room for creativity

[@cromperer]

Probably because Togashi spent months developing the nen system, inspired by mmorpgs/rpgs and the balancing that they do with skills etc. Or so I heard.

[@talesofacrookedmouth]

@@L4C3-L4 not necessarily, I mean look at Jojo's stands

[@Yusuku]

No spoilers. I just love the little details in the voice acting. Killua's tone of voice changed into that of an innocent little kid when Kastro caught him spying and he changed back to his regular voice after he knew he was figured out. Little details like that just make the Japanese dub for me and will always be a few step ahead of the English dub.

[@manumaster1990]

Totally agree!

[@WestonEvans]

I watch the English dub with Japanese subs. Granted I haven’t yet seen the sub but I just love the dub way too much to give it a go. The dub adds this extra layer of exposition that isn’t present in the sub. And while it might not be exactly canon, it definitely helps me understand the story that much better. Plus the dub voices are the A-team. Not a single mismatch or weird choice on the lineup. Like the Japanese voices are cute at the end of each episode when they do the hunter encyclopedia, but I’m too attached to the dub to make sub my go-to HxH medium. At least for now.

[@Yusuku]

@@WestonEvans I fully rewatched the series in the English dub and it's really inferior imo. It just feels lifeless compared to the A-class voice performances in the original. And I don't hold onto the bias of what I've seen first. I've for example seen the Japanese FMA03 and FMAB versions first because rewatching FMAB in English and I REALLY LOVED the English FMAB version. And that was while already loving FMA03 and FMAB in Japanese and having watched FMA03 since 2008 and being exposed to FMAB in English all the way in 2016 or something. I give it all a fair shot and HxH in English is just weak imo. Too literal of translations that feel very static with the lip flaps and very vanilla performances all around. There's way more emotion in the Japanese dub with way more adlibs and more colorful storytelling.

[@aSackOfDerp]

@@Yusuku And you can have that opinion, but i agree with Weston. I enjoyed the dub more

[@Yusuku]

@@aSackOfDerp And you can have that opinion?

[@rendezvousonmemorylane]

Hisoka's ability is so flexible. It doesn't matter at all if everyone knows about them or not, he's gonna win cause he's crazy smart and strong. That's why he goes around telling people about it all the time to lull them into a false sense of ease. The battle is set from the start. When you're done watching the anime I recommend that you go read the manga and see another one of Hisoka's awesome fights. No spoilers plz.

[@hanannyg]

And having to fight without knowing him and his powers is an almost insta death...

[@ericaw528]

Its flexible because it has the properties of both rubber and gum.

[@ameliaj8791]

Erica Wheeler lmaooo

[@Kevin-og3do]

These episodes solidify how nasty Hisoka is

[@ItsAnEndlessWorld]

I'm glad you're loving HXH, your reactions make me feel like I'm watching it all again lol. Hisoka and Gon are sorta one of the same in a weird way... both love the thrill 😊

[@KWireGaming]

Him reacting to this episodes made me go back and watch it all over again lol

[@taylor099c8]

Need more of these genuinely one of the best anime I've ever watched

[@emrahoztek3662]

Even though I love YYH 90's style animation, the idea of a Madhouse adaption makes me schwing like Hisoka.

[@lurkingposter]

The tropes from YYH, seem so played out nowadays. Dont know if it would work.

[@emrahoztek3662]

@@lurkingposter Well, that's why it would be cool if they would modernised it. Even though YYH is way more classical than HxH, its writing is still good for the most part. People seem to dislike the very first slice of life episodes, but I think they're really great. Is when Yusuke meets Hiei and Kurama till Dark tournement, that it starts to be a generic shounen, but from there upwards is great. But mostly it stands out thanks to the characters and their amazing chemistry (which I prefered compared to HxH, and I think is because the characters are in the same age group or they're displayed like it. In HxH, they're is an imbalance between Gon-Killua and Kurapika-Leorio). However, the series got all those "Oh no! How did he do that!" moments, characters standing there and not moving when attacked, and unnecessary drama effects that I would like to be removed.

[@majidoujaa5592]

This is one of my favorite battles in anime, Kastro had the upper hand, yet Hisoka's poker face and brilliant mind and adaptable Nen ability made him believe he was cornered

[@MaxPower-cm6ie]

It was class how hisoka promised he'd make kastro die in a frenzy dance and then made him do exactly that with the cards

[@KWireGaming]

Finally YaBoiRoshi is spending time with me! Lol another Hunter X Hunter video!!! Look at you trying to become my favorite youtuber hahaha

[@ramenbroth]

"Gon is a crackhead." You said it here yourself! Remember that.

[@MrRobbiegill2552]

Hisoka at the beginning is really a great intro to the complexity of character thinking and strategy, love it.

[@peytonalexander5300]

Hunter x Hunter fights are like no other. This Hisoka vs. Kastro fight serves as the introduction to how fights are going to go from now on. Every fight is incredibly unique, and generally you have to win through a mixture of wit and power. There really is nothing like this show and I'm so hyped you're getting to the juicy stuff now.

[@Adiuva1]

Only one day between reactions? You are too good to us. I am absolutely loving how much you are enjoying this series.

[@unitygrave7136]

Roshi’s reaction to these episodes are so lit that you guys are forgetting that bungee gum has properties of both rubber and gum

YYH does not need any remake it is that good

[@jacobneron1444]

Wing is just saying that he's gonna be a beast later on....like his potential is amazing.

[@cromperer]

Nah, he's saying more than that. !Mini spoler! The character that shows up later who helps Gon and Killua sell stuff explains why Gon is so scary as they are eating in a cafe.

[@WestonEvans]

Another mini spoiler- idk if he said it or not here yet but I think the next episode Wing says, in the dub, that he’s awakened a monster.

[@TheRightToBeRandom]

Did you notice that Killua changes outfits often, while Gon only changes outfit during training or a special even?

[@leptonparticle238]

Now you know, the Nen figts in HxH are next lvl, creative, strategic and smart, especially when most of the characters are smart as fuck with 200+ IQ

[@astorlefflinker8417]

I've always thought that I'm a smart person. But when I remember how Togashi wrote this, and by himself, he doesn't have any assistants, I feel very insignificant intelligence-wise.

[@ManonLcz]

One of my favourite fight of the show! Hisoka is such a madlad haha

[@alesztra937]

Lmao rewatching these and Roshi already realizing Gon will never change his outfit is hilarious. Except shortly during the Chimera Ant Arc

[@yaboi6925]

Little bit of info to know. Every ability that you’ll see that comes from nen is that individuals version of hatsu.

[@Deqkay]

I'm telling u these episodes only get better dawg.

[@aristothethrone9032]

the card suit on hisoka's clothes changes according to his mood. this was puzzled out by the maker of Tokyo ghoul during a dual interview with togashi. I don't remember what the pattern was. but when you see hisoka wearing the diamond suit. then you know he's about that bidness.

[@trudy7784]

Love this arc

[@Ayoken007]

Hunter x Hunter is probably the best at the kind of fighting that I like the most: creative applications of abilities. When you start abusing secondary and tertiary properties of a power, side effects and after effects, playing mind games and setting up traps. That to me is the best of what shounen can offer. We got to see how nen battles are first and foremost a mental battle. How can you play mind games and optimize your tool kit. Also making sure that your kit is actually beneficial. Kage bunshin sounds awesome on paper, but as we saw, it is probably impossible to sustain in a life or death battle.

[@rendezvousonmemorylane]

Kastro decided to specialize in an Ability that was made of Manipulation and Conjuration when he was an Enhancer. That's why Hisoka said he lost. This applies to real life as well. If you have no talent for something you'll be the best no matter how you try at it. He should've just focused on his Enhancer abilities and become a monster in his own right. Instead he let his desire for revenge against Hisoka run its course and started to dabble in magic tricks. Unfortunately, half-baked magic skills mean nothing in front of a Master like Hisoka. This fight is one of the first Nen fights HxH and people forget how devious and barbaric it is.
