So I just recently finished watching the Yorknew arc in Hunter x Hunter, and wow, do I have a lot to say.
For one, it was so amazing to see Kurapika take the spotlight this season. He (alongside of Leorio), was my favorite character upon introduction, so to have a season dedicated to him was blast.
It's cool seeing how much he changed since we last saw him, as he is now someone a bit more bitter, with much more determination than before. Seeing him driven by his need for revenge was interesting, and definitely showed a different side to him. Even then, the way he interacts with the gang is still so wholesome.
I really liked the bodyguard crew as well. They were all so sweet to each other and I just loved it. Melody was a gift, and whenever I saw her interacting with Kurapika, it felt as though my heart would burst. Also, Squalla's death hit me so hard. He was so sweet. :(
I enjoyed the Phantom Troupe as well. The show established that the Phantom Troupe are bad people, and that is a fact. But they do a good job with making them feel human. The way the react with the loss of their own, interact with one another, and see each other as friends really help establish them as characters, instead of just the 'villains of the season.' That's why scenes with them were so interesting, especially Pakunoda's death scene. (Oh and Shalnark is adorable)
There wasn't too much of Gon and Killua, but the scenes with them were so cute. It was a nice breather to see the crew trying to get money after seeing all the angst in Kurapika's story line. Zepile was fun and Leorio, as always was amazing.
It was nice seeing the four interact with each other. I live for healthy friendships in media, and seeing those four made my heart happy. It was nice to see how Kurapika was so nice to them even if he was shown to be a bit darker. His whole speech about him having good friends was just so sweet.
The plot itself of Yorknew arc was so fun too. The threads with the auction, mafia community, the Phantom Troupe, and gathering money were so fun to follow. Oh and seeing Zushi in the intro with the lyrics 'try again' was really funny (seeing as he failed Wing's test lmao). Hisoka showing with the lyrics 'go away' showed my exact feelings too (guy's a creep).
Overall, Season 3 was amazing, and my favorite season yet. I'm excited to see the Greed Island arc! (I just started, and it looks cool! It seems like Hisoka is a protagonist now based on the intro??? Oh, and the outro is so cute for season 4!)
I might make an in-depth review one day but for now I'll leave it here.
