This is my first comment and I’m really happy to watch HxH with JJ:) I’m Japanese so bare with my incorrect English🤫 Leorio was taking care the woman, and “the other Leorio “ who was hit by Kurapika was Kiriko. As Kurapika mentioned, Kiriko can transform to human form and Leorio is just pure human lol. I’m looking forward to enjoying a new journey with you two👊

Ngl I am on the same boat as them to a point because aot was the reason i got into anime and then i just spiraled from there lol. So sometimes when im rewatching hxh or another older-ish show i still think OMG THIS REMINDS ME OF "AOT/JJK/DN/etc" and then have to mentally correct myself that wait, this came BEFORE all that lol. If i had a chance, id go back and watch older stuff first but oh well lol im just glad im here now hehe

silly goose #1 mahito simp

YES this is why i was a bit distressed when they started with such recent anime...I think it's often better to watch the older classics first so you can appreciate them even though the animation is less fancy etc. and then you can see how they influenced the later shows

Lauren H.

you describe Gon perfectly after the second episode. I love it

And did you make Anime Expo? Cosplay? Pics?😄

Give Leorio a little grace.☺️Despite his mature appearance, he is young and young ones’ behavior can be impulsive, disrespectful, and off-putting at times. His cynicism nicely contrasts with and highlights Gon’s eternal optimism. Small piece of trivia: Leorio’s Japanese VA (2011 version), Fujiwara Keiji, passed away from cancer in 2020. He also voiced Aizawa in Death Note, and Hannes in AoT (S1). He was a legendary, talented, and prolific artist. Thanks, J&J!

Gon is adorable lol. The Kiriko was bouta strike and he’s just there like “who are you?” And no Leorio was helping the son back at the cabin. That Kiriko that transformed was just taking form of Leorio (pretending to be him). It was a test to see if they’d figured it out.

this journey is one you will never forget

I freaking love HxH and I remember watching the old one that came out in 1999 and then I watched the one you're watching currently last year. Love your reactions guys and I'm excited for you to meet the rest of colourful characters in the show specifically a character that 70% HxH fans hate and the other 30% love (imo)

Shivo

You're not wrong for not liking Leorio that much in the beginning, but give him a chance lol You'll realize later on why he's one of the main characters of this Anime, and that's not a spoiler since it's clearly obvious in every intro :)

Rheyia Pomar

HxH's world is universal so you'll see later on that characters will have names based on different race/nationalities, even their appearances will depict different cultures ;)

Rheyia Pomar

Especially after it was his first time seeing a magical beast but still just stood when the kiriko was about to attack him cuz he was confused about its identity. I always find that very adorable

Kiryuu Yona

Leorio was taking care of the man in the house when Kiriko transformed as Leorio. That's why Kurapika hit him, because he trusted Leorio to take care the wounded man and he knew that Leorio is not a person who would leave the man in the dangerous forest alone.

mamimumemo

When the grandma said "I wanted to meet people like you" to Leorio, it was a compliment. That Leorio has the courage to protest what doesn't sit right for him. If not for Leorio's words, Kurapika wouldn't have realized the answer anyway. Also he admitted that his attitude was wrong, which is very hard thing to do. With what happened on the ship (that he immediately save Katsuo before Kurapika but it was not included in the anime) and in this episode he stood up to grandma and tried to take care a man in the forest (and the fact that Kurapika trusted him!), I think is strength is his overwhelming kindness 😊

mamimumemo

I just realized that Leorio theme song is one of the best 🤣

mamimumemo

Hey Doubled J, I just laughed most of this episode because ya'll are the most fun when you're trying to figure things out. I can say that all you have to do is read these wonderful comments and relax. This is going to be an amazing journey.

ShortyP

I am watching the reaction and had to pause to comment that guys I hope your future sons don't find this video 🤣🤣

its_aliza

hxh came before the likes of aot, solo leveling, death note, jjk, etc so it's actually those shows that have hxh references haha. solo leveling seems to have been inspired by hxh in some regard given their world also has hunters and magical beasts and such.

silly goose #1 mahito simp

You're right about that! I'm a big fan of HxH manga, and in the anime they didn't include it but when Leorio and Kurapika was fighting on the ship (ep 1), Leorio was the first one to go straight to help Katsuo without any hesitation, and Kurapika noticed it (there's a manga panel where he paused a bit looking at Leorio rushing to Katsuo), so he followed Leorio to help too at the end. That's when Kurapika learned what kind of person Leorio is... kinda harsh in words but not hesitant to help others by risking himself, he's kind-hearted inside.

mamimumemo

I honestly think the interview process at Apple or Google is longer and harder than the Hunter exam. And the rewards are nowhere as good.

Beryl_foxturtle

There are a lot of lessons this episode "Test x of x Tests" and I like to think that one of the main ones is knowing your companions apart and what you can trust them with. Kurapika trusted Leorio to tend to the wounded man and he consented to it. He trusted him and knew he would stay, so when the "false" Leorio came to the forest and she hit him, she knew it wasn't the real Leorio because the real one consented to Kurapika asking him to stay with the wounded man. Lol, not only do you guys have face blindness, but plot blindness as well haha

the gay forest beasts always take me out, be who you are for your pridee

Gon is definitely a pure soul with a smile and laugh that can make your day 🤗 Leorio is not a kiriko. The kiriko are transforming magical beasts. Gon mentioned that the one he and Kurapika beat up was the husband, so we can infer that the wife transformed to look like Leorio (since the real Leorio was helping the son and Kurapika “saved” the daughter). All of them did transform at the end. When they’re flying in the sky - 2 of them were holding Leorio. Also, they did make it to the big cedar tree. The house they entered was right next to it. It shows the house next to the tree but it probably got missed because Leorio’s yelling can be distracting 🤣 The tests may seem extensive but they are all helping to “trim the fat” as the captain mentioned. It was interesting to see the different kinds of people/creatures who took on this role to support the Hunter exam. I enjoyed watching the tests though, they were fun to watch! We’re learning more about Gon, Kurapika and Leorio’s characters in different types of situations and can see the camaraderie they begin to form. I mean…who wouldn’t want to be friends with Gon?! ☀️

Charaety

I love the whole gang so much tho, Leorio 100% included haha

taetaebear01 (Lindsey E.)

Gon is one of my favorite anime protagonists, he ruuuules lol

taetaebear01 (Lindsey E.)

Same

Angélica Hernández

Yeah that's how I took it, they're shape shifters so one took the form of leorio but the real leorio was still in the house tending to the brothers wounds, the imposter was the original beast gon had hit and the one he was looking around for when he asked the other beast who they were I believe

Jinx's Baby Daddy(Brandon)

They are going to be so confused, it's going to be hilarious 😂

Angélica Hernández

It's quite funny to see you guys have been so affected with AOT that you're overthinking and looking for some hidden plots and secrets lol and to clear your confusion, it was the kiriko husband that transformed to look like Leorio in order to trick Kurapika, and he said it too (how did you know I was an imposter)

Kiryuu Yona

The Kiriko can take human form, as in, any human form so the kiriko wife transformed herself into a human that looks like Leorio to try to trick Kurapika, they are basically shape-shifters. Leorio is not a Kiriko thus he cannot transform, he is human.

Angélica Hernández

i cant wait for them to reach certain parts of the shows with different/multiple meanings man. i wanna see how they interpret them

gdnsx

Ty I was just curious if this was a situation like solo leveling

Jinx's Baby Daddy(Brandon)

The Kiriko can transform into human form so they just transformed to LOOK like Leorio. It wasn’t actually him.

Zaria Parker

I think we've seen some of leorio strength, on the surface he seems like an immature hothead but it seems he has a good heart, when he apologized to the old woman after the quiz really stood out to me. I could be wrong and maybe that was nothing but anime usually puts in things like that for a reason. This is my first watch of this show so I'm learning along with you guys and even though I wasn't really looking forward to this series your reactions make it fun and the show is growing on me. Great reactions as always j&j P.s. since you guys asked to know where we are from and what we do I am from a small city an hour south of Boston called fall river, Massachusetts and I used to do construction for my dad's company's since I was 18 for about 16 years but got hurt and now have other health issues so now I'm 37 and a full time single dad, love these reactions and appreciate the time and work you two do

Jinx's Baby Daddy(Brandon)

Spain was unstoppable man gg

Ettore

Nope, the mangaka is Yoshihiro Togashi and is japanese

Ettore

Ok ty 😊

Jinx's Baby Daddy(Brandon)

Been waiting since 10am

Lufttwafe

Finally!

Lufttwafe

no it wasn't, the term you're looking for is manhua. but the names in HxH are rather western fantasy like in my impression because their full name is Gon Freecss and Ging Freecss

Kiryuu Yona

Question for anyone that can answer but was this anime based on Chinese manga (or the equivalent of what manga is in china) Gon and Ging sound more Chinese to me so I was just curious

Jinx's Baby Daddy(Brandon)

Hello guys! Coming straight from the haykuu reactions and just upgraded to otaku gold to embark with you in this HxH journey! I am so glad you started HxH and JJK, two of the best Battle/fighting animes out there. The community also chose for you an example of a little bit old school battle shonen (HxH) and a recent/modern one (JJK) so you got it good! I wish you'll enjoy HxH just as the most of us and greetings from Italy! PS. I think i'll also watch Solo leveling with you guys even if I'm most definetly not the biggest fan of the show; but as long as it's with J & J i can even watch a black screen 😂

Ettore

Bringing me to smile after France elimination form Euro ...
