WARNING SPOILERS. Beware x of x prisoners was one of the more enjoyable ones soo far. It showed Gon being the gullible naïve boy he always is and it also called back to episode 4 (Hope x and x Ambition) when it told us about Kurapikas need for vengeance against the phantom troupe. Leorio however gets no development. He is presented as a raging jerk and a fairly unlikeable character. This episode continues with the 1v1 duels that we finished off with in Solution x is x Majority Rules.
Summary: It is Gons turn for his 1v1 and the opponent presents two options. A long candle or a short candle. Whichever one loses its flame first is the person that loses. The opponent lets Gon choose first and he decides to choose the long one. However the opponent had tricked him because they brought 2 long ones and two short ones which each had one tampered with which therefore results in a guaranteed win. However Gon puts his candle on the ground and quickly runs and blows the opponents candle out which results in an easy win. Next is Kurapikas turn. As said in a previous episode, he has vengeance for the Phantom Troupe and his opponent claims he is one of them. Kurapika punches him soo hard which knocks him out. Next is Leorios turn.
