Ep 5. Lie x Truth? Kiriko

Gon and his friends have finally made it to the fourth stage of the Hunter Exam, which is situated on Zevil Island. In this episode, Gon and his friends meet Kiriko, a mysterious Old Lady who lives on the island. Kiriko offers to help the gang as they make their way through the perilous jungles of the island towards their next destination.

Kiriko is an odd character, and the gang is hesitant to fully trust her. However, she seems sincere in her desire to help them, and she proves to be a valuable ally. She provides them with important information about the island's creatures, which will come in handy as they navigate the treacherous terrain.

The group continues their trek through the jungle, and they come across a group of men who are searching for a valuable treasure. The men claim to be hunters, but Gon and his friends sense that something is not right about them. They soon discover that the men are actually poachers who are hunting a rare species of bird on the island. When the group attempts to stop the poachers, a battle ensues, and the hunters are forced to face off against the poachers in order to protect the island's wildlife.

As they battle, Kiriko appears and reveals a shocking truth about the poachers. This truth turns the battle on its head and forces the hunters to confront some difficult moral questions. The moment is a turning point for not just the characters but the audience as well.

In this episode, the themes of truth and deception are explored in new and exciting ways. We see how lies can be used to manipulate and control, but also how the truth can be used to empower and to heal. As always, the characters show great depth and nuance, and the animation is stunning. Overall, this episode of Hunter X Hunter is a thrilling and engaging addition to the series.
