Hunter x Hunter Episode Sixteen

This scene didn't make me feel as bad as seeing Andre Ayew's shot hit the
back of the United State's goal. 

Note: I am not sober. I have been celebrating the USA's 2-1 win over Ghana in the World Cup with beer. I apologize for the change in quality of the writing, whether it is for the better or the worse.

Today's episode was quite eventful. First, Gon follows Hisoka as he hunts down Leorio and Kurapika. He plans to help defend the two from Hisoka, but that becomes unnecessary when Kurapika agrees to hand over the extra badge he is carrying (giving Hisoka two of the three extra badges he needs to pass this Phase). After an ultra-creepy scene where Hisoka becomes consumed with lust for blood (and perhaps, um, other things), Gon finds himself in the position he planned for all along, hunting Hisoka while Hisoka hunted someone else. And his plan works, in the middle of Hisoka's attack, he is able to snare the badge, giving him what he needs to pass the exam. Except that Gon himself was being hunted by a man using poison darts, who takes Hisoka and Gon's badge. But, a few moments later, Hisoka returns. He is impressed by Gon's ability to steal his own badge, so much so that he returns both badges Gon needs to pass. That's because the man who was hunting Gon was Hisoka's own target, and with his target's badge plus three extra badges, he has the six points he needs. When Gon tries to refuse him, Hisoka knocks Gon out with one punch, and remarks that he is waiting for Gon to mature before he kills our main character. Which leaves the following standings at the end of Day 3 (of 7):

Hisoka: 6 pts
Kurapika: 6 pts
Gon: 6 pts
Guy from last ep with poison arrows: 6 points
Pinhead Guy: 6 points
Leorio: 3 pts
Killua: 3 pts
Tonpa: 0 points
Tonpa's friend: 0 points
Guy who got poisoned (and bandaged by Gon): 0 points
Spear guy who attacked Hisoka: 0 points and dead
Sniper guy who tried to hunt Pinhead: 0 points and dead
Guy Hunting Gon: 0 pts and dead
Last Guy Hisoka Hunted: 0 pts and dead

(14/24 Candidates accounted for)
