okay guys i have calculated it all out and even if i get a big fat zero on this race i will still earn a b in the class assuming i get 100% on the other remaining three assignments two of which are a given for 100% and the last of which is like. even if we get a 75% on it (which i do not really see happening) i can still scrape by w a b-
#personal#the engineering chronicles#tbh makes me feel SOOO much better like it will still suck to get a zero on basically our final exam (but it isn’t like weighed like a#final exam we can fail it and still pass as long as doing so doesn’t bring our team assignment average down below 70% which it doesn’t in#these calculations) but like. at least it will not lead to me failing the whole class yknow WRDJFN#on the flipside if we get 100% on the race my grade will boost just enough to take it from an a- to an a. but i do not foresee that#happening LMAO we would have to earn first for that which. our robot is barely functioning atm as it is#whatever i had going on last week was FINE it was not perfect but it was working. then we redesigned and it has all gone to hell 😐 AND we#all have like separate redesigns now which! we cannot do for the race! they need to be identical!#and BEFORE the race we need to submit an assignment that’s like. ‘here’s what our final identical robot design is’ w a SHIT ton of cad#models and drawings. and the race is on saturday. and as none of us have decided on a design yet that works for all of us. we have not#started this giant assignment yet. which. hello#it’s so bad. don’t even get me started on my unrelated exam on friday and also a final paper again on friday… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 death#this class has actually taken over my life like most of the time it literally feels like i am not enrolled in anything else. which is like i#am SO lucky none of my other classes are giving me trouble but also. it makes me wonder. how i would be doing if i had chosen another major.#not even one outside of stem like linguistics is my only non stem class this semester and i am straight up vibing in everything except this#robotics class. and that can be said for most of the engineering classes ive taken where they’re really the Only classes that give me any#problems. like how stress free would i be rn if i had picked chemistry or applied mathematics or smth 🤨#but also i don’t regret it. i mean i am learning so so much that i never would have imagined knowing how to do a year ago. but also.

BnHA Chapter 160: Grand Theft Auto
Previously on BnHA: Deku knocked Overhaul THE FUCK OUT. Tamaki saved Aizawa and captured Chronostasis. Eri wasn’t able to deactivate her quirk, and for a few moments things didn’t look good for Deku. But the cavalry brought Aizawa to the surface just in time, and he erased Eri’s quirk and she passed out. The heroes called like a dozen fucking ambulances to evacuate all of the wounded. Nighteye was strangely peaceful for someone who just lost an arm and got impaled through the fucking stomach, and he was grateful to Deku for bringing about a future different from the one he had seen. I feel like Deku sensed something was going to happen, because he suddenly started encouraging Nighteye to hang on, and that he had to talk to All Might and make up with him. But Nighteye closed his eye really dramatically, and I’M FEARING THE WORST HERE YOU GUYS. We then cut to the ambulance containing the wounded villains (and their confiscated goods, including the quirk-be-gone bullets and the quirks-come-back serum), and watched as it was intercepted by a trucking carrying none other than SHIGARAKI FUCKING TOMURA. This is easily the most badass villain thing he’s ever done tbh.
Today on BnHA: We learn that Jin and Toga called the rest of the squad to let them know where the villain ambulance was headed. What ensues is probably the most badass action sequence this series has ever had. Dabi takes out the ambulance’s police escort with his quirk, but it turns out the car is protected by a pro hero named Snatch. He can manipulate sand and he is fucking awesome. So Tomura fucking leaps at him from the back of a moving truck, and the two of them start to duke it out, but Snatch keeps him at a distance, knowing better than to let Tomura touch him with his bare hands. Enter Compress, who rolls an innocent little marble under the car they’re battling on, and then snaps his fingers and turns the marble back into A GIANT FUCKING BOULDER. The car flips over and crashes into the ambulance; Spinner whips the truck around while shrieking nonsense; Dabi and Compress take care of Snatch; and Tomura goes to confront Overhaul in the crashed ambulance. He takes the bullets and the serum. And then he disintegrates Overhaul’s fucking hands and chops them off at the wrists. And he and the rest of the League just casually walk away. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 187 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.) 
so basically they figured out that the police would have to transport the villains to the nearest villain hospital, so they went on Google Maps and found the fastest route, and from there it was simply a matter of intercepting them
so Toga’s on the phone with Compress. and she says Jin is the one who told her to contact the others. I like that she gives him credit where due
(ETA: I can’t believe this joke went right over my head earlier, but at the time I had somehow forgotten Compress’s arm status. now that I remember, I can’t fucking get over this bit:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this son of a bitch kidnapped Bakugou. how dare he be so absurdly charming now. praising Toga for her quick thinking and making jokes about his own missing limb. I can’t believe the entire League of Villains are now collectively my favorite character.)
Jin is cradling his head in his hands and trembling :(
Tumblr media
oh my god I love how she just gently takes his hand and leads him along. lord help me, why do I ship this so fucking hard, goddamn
also she’s so fucking smart. she watched and waited for a while before she contacted the others. to make sure that’s where the “finished product” was headed, since she knows that’s what Tomura was after, and they weren’t able to get ahold of Eri
and now we’re cutting back to the highway
this poor driver is having himself a hell of a morning
Tumblr media
boy, you about to earn that paycheck today
(ETA: yeah I’m pretty sure this guy is dead now. this joke didn’t age so well ffffff rest in peace??)
and he instantly recognizes Tomura and knows him by name. but I suppose he’s just about the most recognizable villain in the business when he’s all done up in full hand gear
Tumblr media
(ETA: it’s cute that he feels the need to clarify, as though there was more than one Shigaraki Tomura running around and we needed to know which particular league this one hails from.)
I have to imagine it’s not actually that easy to maintain one’s balance on top of a moving truck. you sure are full of surprises aren’t you Tomura
oh shit Spinner’s here too!
Tumblr media
(ETA: is Dabi just being cute here or do you suppose he really does get carsick. are you gonna puke on everyone, Dabi. do you need some dramamine)
haven’t seen you in ages, Spinner. we still don’t know what your quirk is if I recall
(ETA: oh my god, and we still don’t. Horikoshi you are playing a dangerous game, dragging it out for this long. if it doesn’t turn out to be some incredibly badass, plot-twisty thing when it’s finally revealed, you and I are gonna have words. I swear to god if we finally get that dialogue box and all it is is something like “quirk: lizard. does whatever a lizard can!”... I didn’t wait around this whole time for you to be all “LOL HE CAN SMELL STUFF WITH HIS TONGUE”, okay.)
this guy really learned how to drive from video games and Tomura still trusted him to drive this fucking truck while he stands ON TOP OF IT. wow
Spinner is disgruntledly muttering about not being sure whether this is really following Stain’s will
and Tomura can somehow hear him from on top of the truck, and he says this is “a necessary sacrifice”
he’s gotten so good at management. he really has matured a lot
I really want to see this in the anime. mainly because I feel like Tomura’s jacket is going to be whipping around in the wind and it’s going to look cool as fuck
like, if this scene plays out anywhere near like I’m expecting it’s about to, this is basically going to be our confirmation that Tomura has finally graduated from the ranks of “baby villain” to “main villain at large”
(ETA: yeah I think it’s safe to say our boy has got his bachelor of villainy)
ohhhhhhh shit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THIS IS GOING TO LOOK SO FUCKING AMAZING IN THE ANIME YOU GUYS
(ETA: it stands a good chance of surpassing the one in Black Panther to become my new favorite car chase tbh)
jesus christ
Tumblr media
that cop car that was in between the villain truck and the ambulance was completely engulfed
oh! or maybe not, because it looks like the car is FIGHTING BACK
Tumblr media
I LIKE THIS GUY. WHAT A BADASS. WHY HAVE WE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE, THAT’S A DAMN GOOD QUIRK
(ETA: maybe a little too good. that’s probably why this is his one and only appearance)
Tomura’s just annoyed, though, and he’s telling Spinner to slow down
so now Snatch is pumping the truck full of sand, but at the same time Tomura is leaping right at him
Snatch are you about to be disintegrated my dude
oh!!
Tumblr media
HE’S NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT
lol what
Tumblr media
lmao just because someone is capable of holding you back for more than two seconds doesn’t mean they’re your “natural opposite” Tomura. I’m not quite sure you understand how that works. is he restoring a pile of dust back into its original form like what we all hope will happen in Avengers: Endgame? no? then he’s not your opposite, he’s just a guy with an awesome quirk that you’re having a bit of trouble with
he is fucking amazing, though
Tumblr media
he’s absolutely right. Tomura he got your number dude
Dabi and Compress are still in the truck watching this play out
and Compress realizes that Tomura is trying to distract the guy
oh snap
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you know, I’m starting to realize Compress’s quirk is quite a bit more badass than I previously thought
ohhhhhhhh shit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(((╹д╹;)))
aaaaaaand the ambulance is crashing
do you see how they did that? making it clear beyond a doubt what happened without actually showing it in horrific excruciating detail? I could have used more of this during the Overhaul arc
(ETA: also this answers a question I had as to whether Tomura had ever actually killed one of the good guys (as opposed to a fellow villain) onscreen. I couldn’t recall for sure. but that’s a definite yep.)
also this is a super epic car crash. this is crazy cinematic, it’s straight out of a movie
LMAO
Tumblr media
I LOVE IT
and oh my god it looks like Snatch actually saved the driver just in time. so no one was disintegrated after all!
(ETA: I actually think that’s the driver of the police car that he saved. not the ambulance driver. he ded. correct me if I’m wrong!)
but now Dabi is there >_>
Tumblr media
preemptive RIP, Snatch. you were the GOAT for one whole half of a chapter
Tumblr media
I’ll take that as a “no I haven’t”
oh snap is he still alive though?
Tumblr media
but we can all agree the other guy definitely died. that driver cop guy. rest in peace, friend
(ETA: yeah both drivers are super dead from what I can see)
so now back to the ambulance, where Tomura has retrieved and is talking to Overhaul who is strapped to a bed
Tumblr media
TAKE HIS QUIRK!!!
Tomura says he hates Overhaul because he’s arrogant
something is clearly about to go down, so before that happens I’ll just say, I thought Overhaul could disassemble anything he touches. so how come he can’t just do that to the handcuffs. plothoooooooles
anyway
Tumblr media Tumblr media
well LOOK WHO GOT HIMSELF A SHINY NEW ROBOT ARM MOTHERFUCKER
THIS MAN DESERVES HIS REVENGE. AND... YOU DESERVE TO DIE
(ETA: any idea what he just compressed, btw? I can’t for the life of me figure it out. this chapter is so cool but there are a handful of little details that I can’t quite get straight)
(ETA 2: many thanks to @baezetsu who pointed out that COMPRESS MOTHERFUCKING STOLE ONE OF OVERHAUL’S ARMS. straight up. you’re absolutely right. Tomura only disintegrates the right hand, and the left arm is already gone in the panel below. so either this is some good old-fashioned “eye for an eye” revenge (but with arms), or Compress is looking to replace that robot arm with something even better. god this chapter gets better and better with every subsequent readthrough holy shiiiiiiiiiit.)
so now Tomura is opening the box of bullets, and thoughtfully saying that he’s not sure which of the two boxes they recovered actually holds the finished product
“ahh well, guess it doesn’t really matter”
oHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
oH MY GOD!!!!
Tumblr media
MOTHERFUCKER!!!! MY JAW DROPPED TO LIKE HERE. HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS THE MOST HARDCORE SHIT I’VE EVER SEEN??!?
HERE I WAS SURE HE WAS GONNA DELETE HIS QUIRK, AND INSTEAD HE JUST DISINTEGRATES AND THEN CHOPS OFF HIS MOTHERFUCKING HANDS
SHIGARAKI TOMURA HAS GAINED +10,000 VILLAIN POINTS!! SHIGARAKI TOMURA IS MAKING A SUDDEN POWER RISE THROUGH MAKESTE’S FAVORITE CHARACTERS LIST
Tumblr media
SHIGARAKI TOMURA IS ONE CRAZY BITCH AND I KIND OF FUCKING LOVE IT
Tumblr media
THIS IS SO FUCKED UP AND I’M LIVING FOR IT?????
“GOOD LUCK WITH THAT”!!!!!
yo, when Deku and the others hear about this attack later what will their reactions even be. cuz if it was me I’d be like, “oh no... that’s terrible... you know. in principle”
hahaha!!!!
Tumblr media
(ETA: gotta love Overhaul screaming in the background. this chapter is so fucked up lmao)
THIS HAD BETTER BE A FUCKING PROMISE TO US LOYAL READERS YOU SON OF A BITCH. NO MORE SIDE VILLAINS. I’VE GOT FIFTY-ODD CHAPTERS LEFT BEFORE I’M ALL CAUGHT UP, AND THOSE FIFTY CHAPTERS HAD BETTER NOT FEATURE ANY OTHER BAD GUYS BUT YOU SONS OF BITCHES
(ETA: he just ignores everything I ever say to him)
oh man. well, that was a grand five chapter binge and I feel satisfied and very exhausted. I’m gonna turn in, and then tomorrow I can hopefully finally read a chapter with my explosive and hot and cold sons at long last
BONUS:
Tumblr media
likes: barbeque. is this Horikoshi’s idea of a joke. holy shit
and I guess that confirms whether or not he died, huh. these motherfuckers didn’t leave any survivors apart from the captured villains. that’s so messed up. why do I love them so much. Tomura you are a terrible man. please keep getting more terrible

Hey fren lets see how this blog flourishes! :D How bout a scenario where Rodimus gets turned into a sparkling and his crush has to take care of him but there super awkward cause this is the guy I like. XD
hello, hello~! even if it isn’t very noticed, it’ll still be a storage for all of my writing’s lmao
As the liaison of the Lost Light, (Y/n) was subjected to very many things (almost dying daily and pissy robots being the top of that list), so to find the cybertronian you have quite the affinity for has somehow been turned into a sparkling by none other than Brainstorm, it’s not really a surprise at all anymore.
Having been woken up by Ultra Magnus with a flailing Rodimus in his servo’s, (Y/n) could only groan as little Rodimus seemed to catch sight of the human, his spoiler wiggling in delight as he made grabby ‘give-me’ motions with his tiny servo’s.
“Magnus, what the hell happened now?” the liaison sighed, already too tired to somehow wiggle out of this situation. “Whirl” was the mech’s reply, the flare of his optics dying down in what (Y/n) could only hope was sympathy as the now sparkling Rodimus wiggled free, determinedly waddling towards the liasion, his spoiler flicking happily.
Sharing a look, Magnus gave a hesitant smile as (Y/n) kneeled down, greeting Rodimus with a coo as they struggled to lift him up, placing him on their hip with a huff. “For a little one, you sure are heavy” (Y/n) grumbled. “He’s actually a bit underweight for a sparkling. He’s been like this an entire cycle and he’s refused every offer for energon, and you were our last resort” Magnus retorted, his vocalizer glitching out towards the end of his statement.
“He’s in good hand’s, Magnus, I’ll ask Ratchet if I need help with anything, I promise” 
“Roddy, please” (Y/n) groaned in exasperation, feeling very much like crying as Rodimus refused First Aid’s attempts at giving him energon. “Rodimus, good sparklings take their medical energon” First Aid cooed, deciding bribery would be the best trick to get the stubborn prime to accept the energon.
After a very pouty ‘no’ (or so First Aid had ‘translated’, after his laughing fit), (Y/n) was more than ready to throw in the towel and call in Ratchet or Cyclonus, they just seemed to have a way with stubborn mechs (and hopefully, stubborn sparklings)
“Ratchet’s busy with Magnus, in case you were wondering” First Aid chuckled, the ‘smile’ in his tone very obvious. “Of course he is” (Y/n) grumbled, resting their chin on Rodimus’ helm with a groan of defeat as he gave a chirp at the gentle touch. “Maybe you can persuade him? He seems to have taken a liking to you” the medi-bot chuckled, visor dimming in what the liaison guessed was an attempt at a wink.
Rolling their eyes, the human quietly turned Rodimus around to face them, gently tapping the sparkling’s nose to catch his attention, smiling as his spoiler flapped in confused amusement. “Roddy, you need your energon, ok? If you do, we can go bug Ultra Magnus” they hummed as sweetly as they could manage, struggling to fight a smile at the devious look on Rodimus’ face at the mention of Magnus.
Accepting the energon cube from First Aid, (Y/n) held it up to Rodimus’ faceplates, smirking in relief when he began to greedily consume the energon, only slowing down at (Y/n)’s concerned gaze. Giving a chirp of accomplishment, Rodimus began to wiggle in excitement as he waited for the liaison to carry him off to Ultra Magnus’ office.
“Good luck~!” First Aid called, barely covering his laughter with a few ‘coughs’ as he caught sight of the grin on Rodimus’ face.
“So, you’re saying Perceptor somehow managed to fix Brainstorm’s mistake and he can fix Roddy’s … predicament?” the liaison questioned hesitantly, gaze not leaving the still sparkling Rodimus as he pouted in Drift’s lap, the swords-bot having picked him up earlier, proceeding to tickle the sparkling until Rodimus had shouted a pouty ‘no’ which resulted in Drift wheezing with laughter.
Ultra Magnus gave a nod, a knowing look in his optic’s as he watched the liaison give a small smile at the sight of Rodimus and Drift. “I assure you, Rodimus will be returned to his proper age safely, you have my word” Magnus soothed, giving a small smile of his own in reply to the liaison’s huff. “Now, I believe you’ve earned a break from all this madness”
The last thing (Y/n) had expected to see was a bashful, fully adult Rodimus fiddling his servo’s nervously at their habsuite door. “Rodimus, is everything ok?” (Y/n) questioned, scanning his frame for any sort of injury or affliction. “Yeah, I’m good, I uh, I just wanted to thank you?” Rodimus all but stammered out, gaze shifting to anywhere else but the now smug human standing before him.
“No sweat, Roddy. We look out for each other, and you’re no exception to that rule” they chuckled, a smile blossoming as the prime’s stiff posture seemed to loosen with a quiet laugh of his own. “So, uh, can I interest you in a drink? From Swerve’s?” Rodimus offered, more than expecting rejection.
“I don’t see why not, lead the way, my good cybertronian” (Y/n) hummed, patting Rodimus’ ped as they passed, a silent chuckle escaping them at Rodimus’ excited spoiler flicking. “Right! Uh, follow me, kind human” he quipped, offering a servo to the smaller being as he marched off to Swerve’s, laughter filling the hall’s as they both recounted their memories from the strange occurrence.

hunty x hunty cont
soooo we watched more! woohoo
we finished the hunter exam arc???? i THNK? lmaoooo at the end of the ep (21 i thiiiiink) we were on, satotz was like BUT THE HUNTER EXAM ISNT EVEN OVER YET or w/e lol aigh??? whats up w/that
anyways a lot happened in the last few eps that we watched....man i shouldve written this earlier but i litrelly havent been online. anyways
so during the hunter exam stage 4...gon is literally perfect (as i always have to say), him reuniting w/leorio and kurapika was rlly sweet :’) 
of course he immediately offered to help....goodest boy 
and wow that kid has such a powerful nose bvhjksfbjsk he rlly be a gr8 sniffer 
ok literally the part where leorio was in the cave and was like GON KURAPIKA DONT COME IN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they both full speed sprint into the cave with 0 hesitation.....we love a 0 brain cells family 
i love leorio so much he really just b running around w/a switchblade and a breifcase, both of which he barely used during the exam lmao
so bummed that leorio slicing up tht snake happened offscreen. how tf did that even work, he doesnt have a goddamn sword
gon just being able to hold his breath for almost 10 mins makes so much sense somehow...he rlly is one of those shounen protags who is just casually a ridiculous human being and doesnt even fully realize that its weird 
that shot of him carrying everyone out of the cave was so sweet
and of course gon vs snakes....hes so perfect....he trusts his friends so much :’) 
also random aside but im so glad tonpa is out and idk if i talked abt this in my prev post but i feel like in most shounen he wouldve been like, so inspired by gons shounen protag energy that he wouldve changed his tune and taken the exam genuinely and either passed or declared that hed definitely pass next year - but no, he was awful til the end, this aint that kind of story (yet...?) 
have i mentioned that i hate hisoka? cause i hate hisoka. nasty ass crusty clown bitch 
what else happened in the phase 4 stuff. oh yeah killua clowned on those triplet dudes (and hanzo lowkey), which was great
ok the opening not having changed this whole time is so funny. imagine if it never changed and its still basic and cheery when everything gets crazy and dark lmao 
ooh my god i forgot to mention this last time but i feel like gons backpack is full of hair gel and hair gel ONLY, he only brought hair gel and his fishing rod. this is canon ty 
oh gosh when killua and gon reunited at the end of the 4th stage....OOOUGH so precious...those two are so cute god. i want a compilation of their cute moments together i hope that exists 
GOD OH FUCK the scene on the airship where kurapika and gon talked bc gon was clearly bothered by something (what happened w/hisoka obvs. i hate that clown bitch) and OUGHHHH OH GOD gon crying LICHRALLY killed me oh man :( i was literally just chanting NO NO NO!!!! at the TV cause seeing tiny baby boy upset was so sad....and ik it gets soooo much worse oh god i cant handle it 
the whole convo was really good and really anti-shounen (once again...feel like thatll be a theme lmao) bc like, it was a healthy convo where gon talked honestly abt his feelings instead of using some shounen protag BS phrases like ‘it doesnt matter!!! ill be stronger next time!!!’ or w/e....and kurapika is a such a good parent oh man :( 
again, cant get over how genuine and uncomplicated the teamup of the main 4 characters has been....literally no ‘we’re competing and only teaming up for convenience/the hunter exam comes before our friendship’ nonsense 
did anything else happen on the airship. ider 
anyways. can i talk abt illumi now. CAN I TALK ABT ILLUMI NOW. H8 THAT BITCH. 
ok wait back up theres other stuff
the interviews w/the candidates was interesting! i love how the old dude was SO not picking up what Creepy Hisoka was putting down lmaooooo
that poor old guy lmao he seems like a decent dude, he was like oh i dont wanna fight gon and killua cause theyre kids,....RIP u red shirt legend 
the bracket setup was so interesting oh man....very funky and creative. and then it wasnt really fully utilized lol, i feel like thats indicative of a bigger patten - hxh so far has been really creative and interesting, and clearly uninterested in setting things up simply to check off boxes on a shounen tropes checklist....i can already see what makes it so great if this keeps up bc daym, so many shounen have their interesting themes drowned out by the overwhelming necessity for the plot to hit certain shounen story beats, smothering otherwise new/fresh ideas and rerouting them back into the same old over-trodden shounen trope territory 
on a meta level, i wonder if the author was like, allowed more leniency (’do whatever bro’) bc hed already been successful w/yu yu hakusho. i havent seen/ready yyh so idk how ‘typically shounen’ it is but thats st that im curious about 
aaanyways. the tournament starts w/hanzo beating up gon for THREE HOURS STRAIGHT. jesus dude. so yeah obviously leorio and kurapika are the best parents ever and them getting so righteously angry over seeing this happen to gon is so heartwarming and good and also a big big mood 
they love their son okay. also that was fucked up. ALSO i find it interesting that thats only the second time we’ve seen kurapikas eyes turn red 
i bet that hisoka saw that also and somethign something phantom troupe, see bottom of post in predictions section 
seeing gon get beat up like that made my heart hurt :( especially when hanzo broke his arm...oof. 
god also i cant believe hanzo is 18 hes literally bald hvbhjafbjs whats w/hxh and making everyone a teen or younger lmao god 
also omfg i love that leorio and kurapika are lichreally 19 and already have kids wow thats amazing especially considering their kids are 12. its so funny that theyre such Parents already considering that the age gap is kinda hilariously small, espec bc i thought that they (mostly leorio) were a lot older at first lmao 
the fact that gon gets to win that fight against hanzo was a legit shock to me....again, anti-shounen. we’d normally want to see what our protag can do in a fight - espec in a tournament-style arc where the consequences arent as high typically - so we’d want him to go further, which is easy here bc to move on he has to lose, which is easy bc gon is a baby w/no offensive capabilities (that we’ve seen)
god ive talked abt this already but its so fascinating how we havent really had any full-on fights???? espec w/the main 4 characters????? we still barely know what they can do....WE STILL HAVENT BEEN INTRODUCED TO NEN???? 
ive been spoiled (i guess?) to the existence of nen but thats abt it. what can it do? what is it? fuck if i know lmao. so i could totally see them pulling a ‘we were using nen the whole time’ w/like hisoka or st, OR a ‘YOU were using nen the whole time w/out realizing it’ w/gon
ok anyways. that hanzo fight was rough but also gon is literally the best. he was trying to bargain w/hanzo to figure out a way where they could come to a conclusion that would satisfy them both - despite hanzo clearly outmatching gon in skill, so the effort on hanzo’s part would be pointless and simply for gon’s benefit....basically the entire proposal sound ludicris and insulting to suggest (or st, idk how to phrase it), but since its gon of COURSE he only has the purest of intentions and means it so genuinely that you cant even be mad at him 
hanzo just knocking him out lmaoooo and then hes just out for the rest of the tournament???? thats so wild and...whatdya know....un-shounen! 
then he wakes up n his lil x-shaped forehead bandage....ough so cute
also the whole convo he and satotz had abt gon’s victory and hunter license and earning/deserving it was so good :’) 
also i feel like the show did a good job of humanizing characters like satotz. i legit thought he was a robot or st at first but it feels more like hes just A Guy now,....albeit a weird guy, but thats to be expected. its like, yeah this guy also took the hunter exam at one point, wow.
anways this is already long and i havent even gotten to the killua stuff yet lol so im gonna stop here for now. and introducing a new segment..........the prediction corner! where i dump my speculations/predictions, entirely for my future self’s benefit 
PREDICTIONS: 
first off as i alluded to above, i think that hisoka has some sort of connection to the phantom troupe (does he know them? maybe not, but he knows where to find them? idk) and when he saw kurapikas red eyes, was able to figure out that whole deal and said st to kurapika during that fight like ‘hey i can help you find the phantom troupe if you want :))))’ 
i kinda said this earlier but i predict that kurapika might get really wrapped up in revenge and go off the rails a bit. we’ll see, so far that hasnt really happened, but for some reason i kinda think that it will? we’ll see
i (incorrectly) predicted that killua would have known that illumi was there the whole time, considering that he was able to noticing the hunter exam dudes following him in phase 4, etc....but BOY was i wrong about that oof 
iiii think that the whole ‘the hunter exam isnt over yet!!!’ stuff will be an opportunity for killua to pass this year still, maybe? idk abt that tho 
i have more predictions but i forgot :( also some of them are more relevant to the next few eps ill make a post on
