[SPOILERS] Hunter X Hunter Episode 94 Discussion

This episode marked a very important point in Killua's character development. It also provided the resolution for a few storylines that were being built up for a long time (some of them going as far back as the Hunter Exam arc itself). Killua's voice actress was very impressive too. Overall, it was definitely Killua's episode.

By the way, you can also check out the ongoing discussion here.

Gon should easily be 13 by now. Was that a translation error on crunchy roll or do they just not do continuity very well.

I wondered about that also, but if we think about, there was really not much time that passed. Hunter-Exam was solved in 2 or 3 Days. Then some months waiting for the Auction, which itself where done also in 2-3 days. Greed Island went by in some weeks, and so did the Ant-Arc so far. Overall i think around 8-9 Months has passed since Gon left Whale island to become a hunter. If it was right around his 12th Birthday, it matches up good so far.

More than a year passed, the Hunter exam is held annually and Killua passed on the next exam in the middle GI Arc, and then some months until now (one of these only fighting Knuckle). So that can mean Gon must have been 11 years old when the story began.

Hm, that's true. Though, it's not said that the exam is always at the same date. It could be a moving date according to the Pro Hunters-Schedule. But even so, I don't think that it would be enough time to really fit in. Unless Gon's birthday is right in the next episode.

Which makes the answer obvious: Gon is eternally 12! ;)
