That's my point. The reason why this arc exists is "plot demands it" because Gon and Killua are the protagonists and we follow them. It is not about showing or skipping the training, it's about the fact that we wait for them to train to begin with. The world shouldn't revolve around them. This doesn't feel like how the hunter association and netero would respond naturally to the ant crisis, like it completely kills off the sense of urgency that was established before. And while stuff like this happens all the time in anime, I just wanted to say how this arc in particular doesn't feel believable for me. But it's still fine, since it's still enjoyable and the saga as a whole is great.

I mean, if you don't do a training arc, there's no explanation of how Gon and Killua are ever going to be useful vs Ants, considering how their previous adventure with Kite ended. At least this way, it's a logical progression that we know happened, instead of just timeskipping the entire thing

So you are telling me that enhancer nen users have unlimited free refills of anything they want? XD That aside, I never liked this "training arc", not because of what happens or the characters, but because of the setup. It feels like "forced" for plot reasons. That's why it's probably best to ignore that and just enjoy what happens as it comes :D.

Seeing Alicia's love for Knuckle makes me hope even more that she reacts to Yu Yu Hakusho at some point. π If you know, you know.

Always love the harsh but soft character with a pompadour trope

I knew from episode 1 Knuckle would be Alicia's favorite character cause he really is the best.

Using hatsu on liquid/ the divination method shows your true category, you can't fake it as far as I'm aware. She's just a freaky enhancer.

this is not going to be explicitly stated, but Pitou is genderless/nonbinary.
MunchyBowl here accidentally used she/her for this one episode, while on netflix/the dub have a refined translation that uses gender-neutral pronouns

You can't really show a nen type with divination, like she accidentally did on the coffee. At least that's what I think. Since the divination is meant to show your main category of Nen. You could do that in battle though, yes.
Edit: Probably best for you to guys to refer to the guards as Pitou, Pouf and Youpi. Their full names are a bit of a pain.
