In Hunter x Hunter (2011) season 1 episode 18, titled "Big x Time x Interview," the focus is on a group of Hunters trying to pass the 4th phase of the Hunter Exam. They will do this by being interviewed by a panel of judges. The group includes Gon, Killua, Leorio, Kurapika, Tonpa, and several other candidates who survived the earlier rounds.
As they wait to be called in, the group discusses their strategies and various approaches to the upcoming interview. Some are confident, while others are nervous or outright terrified. The stakes are high, as only those who pass this phase will be qualified to take the final test.
When the time finally comes, the candidates are escorted into a large room where they face the panel of judges. These judges are all Hunters themselves, and are known for their tough and often unpredictable questioning methods.
The interview begins, and each candidate is asked a range of questions, from personal information to their motives for becoming a Hunter. Some questions seem harmless, while others are designed to trap the candidates or make them reveal their true intentions.
As the interview progresses, tension builds among the candidates. There are moments of humor and camaraderie, but also moments of fear and desperation. The judges remain inscrutable, giving nothing away as they continue to ask their questions.
The episode builds to a climactic moment when it is revealed that one of the candidates has been lying about their identity. This creates a ripple effect, as the other candidates begin to question their own assumptions about each other and the Hunter Exam itself.
Throughout the episode, there are also brief cutaways to other characters, including Hisoka, who is seen watching the proceedings with interest. Hisoka is a mysterious and enigmatic figure who has been a source of fascination for both the characters and the audience.
Overall, the episode is a tense and engaging exploration of the Hunter Exam, and the various challenges and obstacles that the candidates must overcome in order to succeed.
