Instead, my main reason for this being the strongest episode in the series is because this is where everything comes together. I won’t get into the stuff with Illumi (Killua’s creepy brother) here, aside from saying that Killua’s confrontation with him in the next episode is another all-time great as far as Hunter x Hunter’s best moments go. If Alluka’s power doesn’t work, Gon will die as a result of using all of his future life force to take down Pitou and avenge Kite. Considering that he has Alluka with him - who is able to transform into Something, or “Nanika” as Killua affectionately calls her - Killua is Gon’s last hope.

With the pretext of Chimera Ants in your mind’s eye, you can carefully place the Election arc on said tee and smack it into the stratosphere. While I’m a big fan of Long Gon and recognize the high caliber to which the Killua vs Youpi and Meruem vs Netero fights are written and animated, Chimera Ants, for me, is just a very competent tee for the Election arc that follows it. Many people consider this exceptionally long arc to be Hunter x Hunter writer Yoshihiro Togashi’s magnum opus, although I’m inclined to disagree. This is important, because after seeing Gon and his pals use their newfound knowledge of Nen in Yorknew City and Greed Island, Gon and Killua are tasked with battling the nefarious Chimera Ants in NGL. The Hunter’s Exam adroitly introduces us to our main cast, while Heaven’s Arena - despite its short runtime - explains the mysterious properties of Nen, which serves as the core foundation for the power dynamics we witness over the course of the next 100+ episodes. Anyway, the ridiculously high quality of every episode means that pretty much every single Hunter x Hunter arc is exceptional in its own right.
I’m a firm believer that Hunter x Hunter (2011) has no bad episodes - except for episode six, which simply does not exist.
