I get Ange's comment about the arc losing momentum. This is intentional and normal on Togashi's part. There are multiple plot threads with their own elements which each have their own story structures. Ep 85 could be considered the climax of an element of Kite's plot thread, and now we have the the revenge of Kite element interwoven with the invasion of the Royal Palace. We are in the rising action portion of the story after that heart-pumping ep 85 climax, so it will naturally feel like a slowburn for a few episodes (admittedly too slow for my liking in some places). But this steady and gentle slope of buildup only serves to make the climax (and indeed multiple climaxes, no sexual pun intended) that much more satisfying. The structure of this arc is quite unique and I've not seen any other shounen do it in this way, so it is a new experience for you but I think one that will take getting used to.

About your comment of the arc losing momentum for you ange, give it time, theres a bunch of stuff building up here, take it as it comes cause when togashi start cashing bills for the things he build up its not going to stop until the end of the arc.

Just a couple of clarifications: -Morel and Knov's conversation - None of them were being frustrated with Netero or his plan. It can be hard to catch from all the dialogue about politics, but what's happening is that the Vice Chairman of the Hunter Association and his faction are the ones who's sending hunters that weren't recommended by Morel and Knov. Morel and Knov talked about the possibility that the Vice Chairman is intentionally doing this so that their mission would fail and all the blame will go to Netero, and that will be a plus for the Vice Chairman's faction in the next chairmanship election. -Morel and Knuckle didn't finish off Cheetu because they judged that they couldn't and that placing APR on him to track him would be enough. With Cheetu's speed, he could easily escape them, which basically what he did, he ran tf outta there fast. That's why Morel told Knuckle that they'll let another hunter who would be better suited for Cheetu's speed handle it. But as we got from Morel and Knov's talk, the Vice Chairman didn't send the hunters that they requested.

I don't know about the whole losing momentum thing. The show does a great job of building and limiting what we should know as an audience. My guess as to why you think this way is simply a disconnect with the episode's premise. Even with the end discussion, you two were fixated on the simple things, not digging into what was happening. I don't know, but I get a sense that there's a misunderstanding on your part. If so, it would be best to be honest so we can help you clarify such details. I'm not saying that you guys have to fully decipher every detail, but for example, Knov and Morel's conversation had so much to it. It wasn't just about the innocents dying. The hunter association is plotting against Netero to put him in the bad spotlight.

Yeah I think sometimes they can miss the importance of a scene and just take everything they see and hear at face value but with hunter x hunter I feel like things should rarely be taken at face value since it's not that kind of show.

I used to watch HxH weekly, so I was really feeling the unnecessary time wasting in this arc. Building up an arc to its peak is always welcomed, but some stuff were really just a waste of time... I think they were catching up with the manga so they needed to cheese the arc. For example, the content of these 4 episodes could've been delivered in 2 or 2.5 episodes max... same for the entire arc in general, we can easily reduce the total number of episodes by 10-15 episodes, then it would've been perfect. But still, the peak is sooo high, so you eventually will enjoy it to the max!

All that happened in these four episodes happened in the manga. They weren't fillers. Not really sure how they could have condensed these 4 episodes into 2 without it feeling rushed. There weren't really unnecessary long staring into the sky or nothingness or something like that. And I'm not confident about them liking this arc as a whole (which is okay), especially now that some people basically told them that the show just wasted their time. That might just make them pissed off at the show, and we already saw Ange getting pissed of at "time wasting" with Knuckle passing out of Gon's punch. I don't agree that the show was just wasting time at this point though. Not everything is a setup, yes, not everything is needed, but to call these episodes waste of time, I just don't agree with that. Not everything has to be important for it to be good. Killua just recently killed the first major ant in Rammot, basically signaling the humans' counter attack, and now we saw the Troupe demolishing ants that set up base in their territory which addresses the issue of some ants scattering in other parts of the world. We also saw Gon handling ants on his own and Meloreon stalking him which means something. We saw the thing that's glowing gold aura. Morel and Knov talking about politics in the Hunter Association and why they're not getting the necessary help they need. The characters also talked about the selection of 5 million humans and why it's important, as well as how Pitou is controlling the soldiers. If these things didn't happen or was shown, the show wouldn't be as good as it was as a whole. The show is just slowly building up momentum from the point that the first ant who got nen got killed. I don't know if they'll ever rewatch this, but I think they'll appreciate it more on a rewatch just like how they appreciated JJK season 1 more when they rewatched it.

This is DEFINITELY the slow part of this arc. I was genuinely bored rewatching these 2 episodes with you guys. I truly do not care about Gon fighting some stupid-looking animal hybrids but what was even more boring was when the author had Killua explain the absolutely unimportant politics to Gon. If you have to turn an exposition dump into a "gag" by having your MC steam from his ears then the way you're doing your exposition is probably not ideal. Love this show. Like this arc (not as much as the Spider arc, however) but it definitely has some slow parts.
