This episode kicks off what is in my opinion the best stretch of episodes of the Yorknew City / Phantom Troupe arc. It continues to beautifully flesh out the characters of Gon and Killua, while simultaneously illustrating the necessity of their friendship in each other's eyes. Their dynamic becomes even more endearing, and Nobunaga's response to seeing it in action is incredibly charming. His eventual attachment to Gon in the wake of losing Uvogin feels so natural and is executed perfectly. In addition, the fact that Zepile's seemingly tedious explanations of swindling techniques came back to aid Gon and Killua in this episode makes the focus on them a few episodes back feel all the more necessary. It's such a brilliant and unexpected payoff! Despite some moments of levity, the tension and constant threat of death never really diminish. The Phantom Troupe is such an imposing and enigmatic crew of antagonists, and getting to learn more about their inner-workings and conduct makes for extremely entertaining television.

Warning: Spoilers
Wooow nobonaga he is just intersting how he liked when gon talked back to him .. specially after he warned killua never to make a sound
Gon at that time didnt care about anything at all and just said what is right to say never considering the consequences..
Oooh if this can be done in our daily life things could never be the same
This topic one can write a book about it
Also that time when killua stood up trying to go to nobonaga to escape .. his brother shadow stopped him .. and killua really hated that about himself that if gon was in a life or death situation all it take is a second to save him or not .. and killua hesitated for this second ... thats why he couldn't hold himself and wanted to test his resolve against nobonaga .. becaouse i chance like this will never occur again in his life where he could overrun his brother shadow .. specially since nobonaga dont hate them so there might be a chance 1% that he wouldn't kill them
Woooow this episode contained a paradise of emotions and philosophy.
