Knov, Scream, Hatsu, Hunter x Hunter, Episode Review, Chimera Ant Arc
Knov's Scream


Traffic is one of the struggles that I must endure every Wednesday. Though I always get tired because of the travel, spending less than an hour watching Hunter X Hunter after I got home can bring back every ounce of energy that I have exerted earlier. What I didn’t expect is, a guy in the Hunter X Hunter world will experience the trauma that’s worse than being stuck in an hour of traffic.


Knov x and x Morel for me is not as tense as the previous episodes of Hunter X Hunter. Despite this, Togashi was able to prove that the anime series can pull out a great segment even without its main characters. Yes, another week without Gon and Killua. The battle of Gungi between the Meruem and Komugi is another thing that you can’t look forward on this episode. The story only focuses on the point of view of four characters:  Knov, Morel, Bizeff and Palm.


The first part made me raise my eyebrow. Is that Knov worrying too much about being caught? He can escape easily with his conjured portals right? My first impression of him is that, he is a cool and a strong four-eyed guy in formal suits. Netero won’t be bringing him along if he doesn’t have enough power to kill a chimera ant soldier. His strength was proven after being able to take down Flutter – the Chimera ant officer that looked like a dragonfly. As this particular episode runs, I started to entertain doubts about him. Even so, a huge part of me still believes that he is good at combat and this is what I have expected to see on the next coming seconds of the anime.

As the infiltration gets deeper, Knov can be seen setting up portals which are necessary for their escape and attack. His mission was to create the nearest portal to the King that he could plant. As he gets nearer to the center of the palace, he was seen by a patrolling Chimera ant soldier. Just before I could tell its next action, Knov was able to kill it with his “Scream”. You can see that surprised look on his face but thank God that he was superior enough to behead the enemy.


So it made me think. He has got the skill, the strength and may be wits, but why is that he looked so freaked out?  The hunter is obviously panting not because he’s tired but because his heart appeared that it can’t handle any more thrills. The next scene confirmed Knov’s lack of will.

Pouf’s En was seen lurking at the stairs. This is enough to convince Knov that the center of the first floor of East Gorteau’s palace is where he should stop. He conjured his last portal and left.


Palm on the other hand is doing her job as a mole inside the palace. She acted as one of the applicants for Secretary Bizeff – the symbol for ambitious and lustful fatheads in the world of politics. We could say that for a woman like her, even if she is a huntress, Palm’s mission is a lot terrible than the others. Her job is to see the king and its royal guards with her own eyes so that she can keep track of them. But before she can do that, she must be able to secure herself from the horrors of East Gorteau’s palace. Aside from avoiding detection by the royal guards, she also has to save herself or cope through the disgust of being a sex slave for one of the creepiest creature in the palace.

Meanwhile, Knov was successful on securing himself in a safe place. Though he is physically unharmed, his mental state was badly broken. There are many reasons that you can think of about Knov’s breakdown. Pouf’s aura may not be as strong as Pitou’s but it contains the same murderous aura that can shock every outsider that sees it. Adding up to it is the aftershock of doing all those dangerous stuff while inside the palace.  Then there’s the worry for Palm which is a bit understandable. We can say that he had developed a liking for Palm despite her appearance. After all they have been together for a long time. Who wouldn’t freak out if the person that you cared for could most likely fail on her mission, tortured by monsters, get herself killed and you can’t do something about it?


A few kilometers from Knov is Morel who is about to a start a fight with a Chimera ant squadron leader. Morel who came along with Netero and Knov in NGL is not just strong and skilled but he was also incredibly clever. Unlike the four-eyed guy, this man who carries a huge pipe with him can gracefully act and think quickly, despite the danger that surrounds him. These dudes are about to see who’s tougher between them. Unfortunately, there goes that overlapping ending song that signals the end of the episode.


To summarize it all, episode 106 of Hunter X Hunter: Chimera Ant Arc is an important part of the series that fans should never miss. You’ll never get to see an episode that is as awesome and moving as this without the exposure of the fan-favorites.

Hey Otakus!



One of the things that gave me a reason to cheer up this morning is the marking of World Otaku Day. I've been a fan of anime and games for years but it is only now that I've learned about this very important day for someone like me. So, how will you celebrate this world-wide commemoration?

Happy World Otaku Day! - Fantasy Fan Leogan


I was thinking of going to work for overtime but a lot of things had stopped me. Aside from the need to get enough rest to recharge by weary body and mind, I still have a lot of planning and things to do. Today, the 15th of December, I will celebrate the World Otaku Day by spending more time with my blog, watching anime series, Facebook fan page and playing games.


By the way, I have marked by left wrist with ^w^. This symbol according to some Otaku Facebook pages, shows the Otaku Pride. Since I am administering an Otaku-oriented blog, I need to be a part of this celebration. To prove that it actually happened, here is the picture of my left wrist. J

The Dark Leader of the Outlaws






Chrollo Lucilfer is the head of a notorious gang called the Phantom Troupe. After a heart-pounding chase, he was captured by the Kuruta clan survivor, Kurapika. He was set free after a trade but he was prohibited to use Nen and to communicate with other members of his group. Breaking the conditions of the scarlet-eyed boy would result to his death. Delve deeper to the world of the dark leader of the outlaws, witness the history of the Phantom Troupe and see all his encounters while waiting for the right moment to strike back.

Chapter 1 - The Dark Days



The two were caught at the same time that the sun had disappeared. This was the second time that they fell to the hands of the deadly group.


Sensing something odd about the two young hunters, the man wearing a coat that bears St. Peter's cross ordered his subordinate to tie them up. He was about to withdraw his attention from them when the spiky-haired boy asked him a question.


"Why do you freely kill people who have nothing to do with you?”

Chapter 2 - Indoor Fish




"The first one is for your leader."


The dirigible aircraft in Ringon airport had taken off. It carried six passengers: the pilot, Leorio, Kurapika, Melody, Chrollo and Pakunoda.


At the first sight of the woman wearing a blazer and a short skirt, Melody was sure that there would be no blood bath inside the zeppelin. She was certain that no Genei Ryodan members had followed Pakunoda on her way to the airport.

Chapter 3 - The Bandit's Secret




With the exception of Chrollo Lucilfer, it is the first time for the members of the Genei Ryodan to fight other Nen users.


Being new on fighting another Nen user like herself was not a problem for Pakunoda. She was fast enough to guard her left cheek with the free left arm, decreasing the damage that she received from the blow.


“Tssssk.” Paku whined.


She was about to answer their opponent with an attack using the butt of her revolver but the old man quickly moved backwards as if he already knew Pakunoda’s next move.


Her wrist did hurt and a couple of bones in her left arm were broken. Although she was a bit injured, that didn’t stop her from chasing the white-haired man. Since her bullets couldn’t hit the target, she decided to entrust everything to her own speed and power. The blonde jumped to the air, readied her right legs and aimed for a spinning heel kick. READ MORE.





Chapter 4 - The Temporary Bodyguard


The magician flung the ace of spade to his target. His excitement was far from the usual. He had never experienced that extreme tingling sensation for many years.


"He's lying. I already told him that I was a fake member of the spider. That should be enough provocation for him to kill me now..." The aggressor was sure about it.   READ MORE.











Chapter 5 - The Assassin's Target


Policemen, mafia guards, hunters and regular citizens constantly paced the busy streets of York Shin City. It was another active night for construction workers, firemen and medics who were assigned to mop up of the mess from the recent turmoil. The traffic only grew heavier after the ruckus caused by the Phantom Troupe. READ MORE.









Chapter 6 - The Kurta's Dream


It was the nicest day for Kurapika and Pairo. After an exhausting clan festival, they went back to running around the Lukso woods. The sun was up but the shades of the trees protected their skin from burning. The swirling plants looked even more beautiful. READ MORE

Chapter 2 - Indoor Fish



"The first one is for your leader."


The dirigible aircraft in Ringon airport took off. It carried six passengers: the pilot, Leorio, Kurapika, Melody, Chrollo and Pakunoda.


At the first sight of the woman wearing a blazer and a short skirt, Melody was sure that there would be no blood bath inside the zeppelin. She was certain that no Genei Ryodan members followed Pakunoda on her way to the airport. It was also clear to her that the woman came alone to save her boss and had no intention to fight. The remaining concern was Kurapika. Did the Kurta notice the difference between Paku and the other members of the troupe?


Kurapika stood a meter apart from the chained leader of the Phantom Troupe. He sent his judgment chain floating in the air, ready to pierce Chrollo’s heart.


"Two conditions," Kurapika continued.


While the Kurta was discussing his terms, the constricted young man couldn't help but feel worried about what was going on with the spiders. He wanted to speak, but the chains which covered his mouth prevented him to do so.

"Two Conditions" - Kurapika


“Paku, look closely. Pay attention to the chain user.” He hoped that his thoughts would reach Pakunoda. “You must be able to see signs of weaknesses. He will do anything to save his friends!”


“The first one will be, no usage of Nen is allowed.” Kurapika was sure about this rule. The next condition made her stop and think for a moment.


“I couldn't beat the spiders with this. Even if I killed their leader, they would just go back like nothing happened.” He said to himself. “My top priority is…”


He remembered the last time he saw his platinum blonde-haired friend Pairo. “I don’t want to lose a friend anymore… I must save them!” An image of Gon and Killua appeared inside his mind. He missed them suddenly. The excitement to see them again urged the scarlet-eyed boy to state the last condition.


“Communications of any forms with a member of Genei Ryodan are not allowed.” Kurapika concluded.


“Do you agree with all of these conditions? Please tell me if you do and I will pierce your leader with the blade of my judgment chain.” He directed the question to Pakunoda.


“Okay.” The woman said without hesitation which astounded Chrollo.


Before he could think of anything, the head of the Spider felt a sudden pain inside his chest as if he has been stabbed by a sharp object. Kurapika’s chain that was made out of Nen was invisibly wrapped around Chrollo’s heart with its blade pointed straight to the pumping organ. It was ready to perforate the heart and rob him off of his life once he broke any of the conditions set by the surviving Kurta.


“She’s still the same.” Chrollo was disappointed. “Could it be because of that?”


He succumbed again to another highlight of his past.


Beside its unsightly environment and dust-filled air, Meteor City gave birth to the Phantom Troupe. It started with seven members being led by Chrollo Lucilfer. Other members include Nobunaga, Machi, Feitan, Franklin, Pakunoda and the late Uvogin. They were young and they had just discovered their abilities back then.


The Phantom Troupe might be known as a group of thieves but they were an important asset for Meteor City. They acted as support for the underworld and did philanthropic deeds for the sake of the city and its inhabitants.


“Being the strongest Nen user and the most important part of the organization, the limbs are blindy following its head.” This was the belief that Chrollo tried to bust. He wanted it to be clear that his orders were more important than his life.


“If I died, one of you will just have to replace me. Spiders must live on.” This was only one of the few noble lines that came out of his beautiful lips.


“While we are waiting for orders from the Mafia head, we will focus on adding more members to our group.” He added.


“Danchou!” Nobunaga called. “The mafia sent us something.”


The plan was short-lived. Once the orders from their clients came in, they need to keep themselves busy.


“What does it say?”


“We need to take care of some people.”


Assassination was just a part of their job. They have gotten themselves used to it but this new job was totally different from their previous assignments.


“These people are Nen users like us. Do you think we stand a chance against them?” Pakunoda asked.


“This is the perfect opportunity for us to grow stronger. I would like to see the results of our Nen training,” Chrollo replied. “Is there something wrong Paku?”


“Nope, I’m fine with it.” The teenage girl tried her best to look strong and untroubled. Deep inside, she was worried. Not just for her sake, but for her friends as well.


“Just remember what I’ve said earlier,” replied the Phantom troupe leader.


“Okay.”


“It says here that we need to finish this task as soon as possible.” Nobunaga called their attention.


“No problem. We just have to pick one target at a time. Let’s see if one of us can handle him alone.” Chrollo had decided on it.


“Jero Pysgodu, what a name!” Nobunaga picked the first target for the team.


“Okay.” Chrollo ended the conference. They prepared for the travel as fast as they could.

"Spiders must live on!" - Young Chrollo Lucilfer












Victorique was a huge city from the South.  It didn't have much bodies of water as the city was situated at the center of a big island.


The troupe arrived at night ready to strike the target. They all looked good on their black jumpsuits. Chrollo wore a black student’s uniform to emphasize that he was the leader of the group. Without wasting any time, they went ahead to their target’s mansion. The mafia sent two freelancers who were Nen users as well to accompany them.


As they move closer to the place, they became more cautious of each step that they made. Upon reaching the gate of the mansion, the troupe entered on their Zetsu state and checked for people manning the property. Machi, Franklin and Nobunaga were left on the borderline to serve as a lookout while the remaining guys went inside. They would block possible reinforcements to prevent the group from getting trapped.


Feitan went ahead and climbed the walls of the gate. He beheaded three guards posted nearby and checked to see if everything was clear. He threw out a hand gesture signaling the others to come inside.


The nearest entrance of the house was still a few runs from the main gate. After a number of steps, they were ambushed by a battalion of uniformed guards. They all wore tuxedos and covered their eyes with dark shades. As the moon continued to shine, the ground was bathed with blood. Uvogin with his immense strength took out numerous men in black while ignoring the gunshots that tickled his stone-hard skin. The untouchable Feitan on the other hand was able to decapitate several guards in a heartbeat.


They presumed that they have been detected as more and more men with rifles came out from the mansion.


“Leave them all to me,” Uvogin asked them to continue the mission without him.


“They are too many. We can kill them but we need more time. Go ahead to finish the mission and I’ll accompany Uvo.” Feitan seconded the big guy.


“Let’s rendezvous inside the mansion after that.” Chrollo gave his orders.


Pakunoda brought out her revolver and fired while trying to reach the main door of the mansion. Chrollo who led the way snapped the heads of those who would get in his way. The other two Nen users from the mafia group were running along with them. The pale-faced guy wearing a gray jumpsuit conjured a duplicate version of him which acted as a decoy to confuse the pursuers. The smaller guy with a striped jacket and a bandana kept on throwing marbles and pebbles on enemies who were firing at long range.


“Hurry,” the conjurer whose name is Sholt called out. He commanded his duplicate to disappear and the aura that was released earlier came back to him at that instant.


“Last one.” Pelt threw out an enhanced stone to a sniper that was hidden on one of the second floor windows.


The four of them were able to enter the mansion from the main door. A well lit room of red and yellow welcomed the assailants. There was a gray-haired man standing at the center of the room and looked as if he was expecting the infiltration. His dark skin looked even darker with his indigo shirt and black pants. He was also carrying a bowl which appeared to hold something that moves very fast. It had no water but the two silver-colored fishes are contented to swim inside of it.


“Welcome to my humble abode,” the old man stated. “It has been a very long time since I had visitors.”


“Pakunoda,” Chrollo whispered softly to his ally. At first sight, he was able to estimate the amount of hazard that they were on. “This man is dangerous. Those things inside the bowl should be avoided. Don’t make a single contact with it.”


“Okay.” She reloaded her revolver with bullets and aimed it to their target.


“Your mafia heads are dirt bags. I should have known from the start that they’ll stab me at the back when the time comes.” Jero Pysgodu continued.


The guy wearing a gray jumpsuit suddenly attacked from Jero’s back. Another guy of the same outfit appeared a few meters in front of the old man ready to throw a lethal chop.


“Indoor Fish,” Jero immediately sent out the fishes inside the bowl. It became bigger as it transformed to its normal size which was the same as that of a human. The first swam to the guy at his back while the latter opened its mouth and tried to devour the Sholt at the front.


To protect his ally, Pelt threw some enhanced marbles to the two fishes. Both were hit but it didn’t stop the fishes from attacking Sholt. Both bodies of the conjurer were hit by the attack. Sholt’s aura from Jero’s behind vanished into thin air as the original Sholt was bitten by that scary fish.


Pakunoda was stunned because of the horrible sight. The duplicate was gone and Sholt’s torso floated in the air. The lower part of his body was completely devoured by the old man’s fish. Surprisingly, the unfortunate Nen user was still alive and appeared to not feeling any kind of pain.


“What kind of skill was that?” Chrollo asked.


“They are a pair of conjured fish that survives a closed room. He will feel it when the fishes are gone. Death comes instantly afterwards. Be thankful of me for granting you a painless death.” Jero laughed at the remains of Sholt.


Pelt went berserk and hurled a lot of things at the direction of the fishes and its master.  The old man was fast enough to dodge the marbles while the Indoor Fishes turned their direction to the enhancer.


Pakunoda fired her first shot at Jero but the white-haired man evaded it effortlessly.


“He was incredibly fast.” Chrollo thought to himself.


Their target disappeared from his original place. Pakunoda was surprised that the old man appeared on her left side and was about to land a punch on her face…

Persona 5, Shin Megami Tensei, ATLUS, PS3, RPG


It was exactly two o'clock in the morning when I decided to get out of bed. I checked my desktop and looked for new mails or Facebook feeds. Right then, I tried to convince myself that I should continue sleeping as nothing interesting would pop up but I was completely mistaken! My heart almost fell on the first sight of a shared YouTube video by a Facebook friend. I was about to make a cup of coffee but the news had already triggered my alertness.



Atlus reveals that Persona 5 will hit the market next year. The thought alone sends a tickling sensation in my nerves. After watching the teaser trailer, I felt like I want to wake up everyone else just to see me giggle and roll on the floor to death. Yeah, I know exactly what you fee. Everyone who grew up playing Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series will go crazy about this upcoming game.

No gameplay was shown but the trailer will be enough to give you the goosebumps. It strongly appeals to me that the characters in the game will be shackled to different modern-day problems. The trailer ended with a question, “You are slave. Want emancipation?” It was followed by a message that it will be out on winter of 2014.
The last month of the year 2013 has just started and we still have to wait for a few months before we can get our next fix. My mind is going crazy as it tries to form the image of the new protagonist of the game. That’s if they will leave the characters of Persona 3 and Persona 4 behind. I've been busting my fingers as well in order to unravel the mysteries about this upcoming game. ATLUS really knows how to keep its fans begging for more of their sweet treats.
