So wait, wasn’t Bisky’s original plan to gently caress with Gon and Killua’s friendship? I remember her scheming to “ruin” something or other in one of the earlier episodes.
Any ill intentions were quickly discarded when she learned how adorable these boys were

Yes it was, then she said these guys are rough diamonds. With just a little polish they could be so much better, and it bugged her enough to train them.

You know how I compared the concept of Hunters to Dungeons and Dragons player characters early on?

Ging is a level 20 guy who finished his adventure a while back and can now just do whatever the gently caress he wants

Durlag's Tower in Baldur's Gate 1 kinda did it better.

Spoiler: Dopplegangers kill and impersonate your family trying to get at all the money you built up in your adventuring days, so you go insane and turn your huge fuckoff base into a dungeon packed with deathtraps.

Ohhhhh, that’s an unfortunate choice of alias. Of course, Ging seems like the kind of guy who’d choose it even if he knew what it looked like.

it's pronounced "neeg" :downs:

I take it Lupin only takes on three kinds of jobs:

1. Steal a unique or incredibly valuable treasure.
2. Steal from a high-profile target with over-the-top defenses, just to prove they mean nothing to him.
3. Steal anything if the payoff he gets for it is worth it to him (apparently, anything Fujiko blatantly lies to him about)

Next week's Super is very good, then it's gonna be like an okay 3-episode mini-arc, then the next big arc which I need to start getting into more, with the return of an old friend.
