Hunter x Hunter Episode Fourteen

Sorry Gon, Japan's World Cup team is not that good this year.

The Fourth Phase of the Hunter Exam is introduced in today's episode. It has the following format: the Candidates each draw a number that is the number badge of one of the remaining Candidates. They are then taken to a deserted island where they have to hunt each other to steal their badges, by any means necessary. As for how they pass the exam, it uses a point system for each badge.

- Three points are awarded for your badge
- Three points are awarded for your target's badge
- One point are awarded for any other badge
- Six points are required to pass the Fourth Phase

The Candidates have one week on the island to acquire (and hold on to) enough badges to get the six points necessary to pass this Phase. Which means that, at most, half of the Candidates can pass the exam. I really like this game, it's a survival game that actually makes sense, much like most of the tests in the Hunter Exam.

After the cast makes it to the island, the focus is on Gon as he tries to figure out the best way to get his target's badge. This is especially pertinent because Gon drew Hisoka's number. And I'm just going to guess that Hisoka is the last person anyone wanted to draw as their target. The only person less lucky is the person who Hisoka drew for his own target. Either way, Gon is shown trying to hunt animals on the island, and coming to the realization of the best way to successfully hunt something, hunt it while it's hunting something else. And we see the person who picked Gon's number as he stalks his prey. Which means the next episode should be Gon's hunter hunting Gon hunting Hisoka hunting Hisoka's target. It's a huntception!
