Hunter x Hunter Episode Twenty

I totally see the family resemblance.

Well, that was an eventful episode. Several Candidates ended up passing before a fight between Killua and Pinhead, who turns out to be Killua's older brother, Illumi. Apparently, all those pins were there to change his face for a disguise. Either way, their fight is a war of words. Illumi tells Killua that he exists only to kill people, and that is the only way he can ever feel joy (much like people who use the term "objective opinion" seriously). He claims that Killua is unable to want anything else. Killua retorts by saying that he wants to be friends with Gon, and once he realizes the two of them are already friends, Illumi says he is going to kill Gon and stalks off toward the waiting room where Gon is lying unconscious. After a tense moment where it looks like the brothers will fight, Killua surrenders, only to come back and murder Bodoro, the old man, in the following fight for reasons unknown. This means everyone else passes the exam, much to Gon's anger, and the episode ends with him storming to the orientation session for the newly minted Hunters, and demands that Illumi apologize to his brother. Because of course that will fix things.

So, while the Hunter Exam is now officially over, there are new questions that require answers. First off, what is going to happen to Killua now? I know he's a main character, and maybe he can hang out with Gon even if he isn't a Hunter, but that kind of came out of nowhere. And then there's Hisoka, who whispered something to both Kurapika and Bodoro in their respective fights that made Hisoka lose his first fight and win his second. And seriously, why did Killua murder Bodoro? I'm happy that things haven't wrapped up nicely yet, it keeps me interested. As for the last question, which is how Gon will fight Illumi with a broken arm, I think that's going to be answered like everything is answered with Gon. He'll fight him using super protagonist power.
