The whole episode in one picture. Yeah I got trolled.
Finally, two episodes worth of prince madness has finally come to its end… with a bang! Not actually a bang but just a sight of the Prince being chased by lasers and Miho playing a RPG with Yukitaka being tanned! Anyways, here is the third episode and if you are wondering why I retained the episode name with “not” at the end, just read the review and be prepared to be trolled!
The third episode has the mix between weird and fun at the same time. Weird because we never noticed that the Prince is responsible with everything that is happening… we haven’t got a clue! And fun because we don’t know that he is responsible for everything that is happening!
The revelation at the near end of the episode caused me to either laugh my ass out that I was trolled by a Prince or scratch my head say to myself, “Is this a work made by Togashi-sensei? If it is, he must be taking something that he decided to troll us at the end.” And because of that, all I can say is, he is indeed a genius, now finish Hunter x Hunter once you are out of your hiatus!
This episode, aside from Prince trolling us at the end, we learned the reason why Captain Craft hates the Prince and happy to beat the hell out of him if given the chance. It is because of contradicting the Prince back then and ends up being part of one of his experiments! Anyways, the sight of Craft beating the Prince while smiling still cracks me up… along with the subtitles found in Prince’s video!
As for the Prince in this episode, well, I seriously love his attitude more and how he acted when he learned that everybody knows his plan/experiment/method of trolling/whatever you like to call it. I hope I will see more of him in the near future even if it was seen at the preview (on the right) that we will not see the him… or is it?
Left: Where are the lasers?! Right: And I thought it is only Japan who is addicted to baseball! Aliens too!
Overall, comparing it to the other episodes, this must be what I can say, one of the best-structured episode in terms of comedy. Why? It is because what they did here is that they pull some minor laughs at the early part of the episode, went to a short halt when the Disckonians attacked and throw in the punch line at the end with the humor slowly subsides after the laser chase!
Or is it?
As for the plot, it properly closes the things that were established in the previous episodes properly. While writing this review, this is when I realize, why the Prince ended up landing on Earth and on some other planet? It turns out it is all part of his plan!
