Ep 44. Waste x Decision x Exam Results

Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika have finally completed the grueling Hunter Exam. As they anxiously await their results, they reflect back on their journey and the obstacles they faced.

In this episode, titled "Waste x Decision x Exam Results," the four friends find themselves killing time in the city as they wait for their Hunter Exam results. As they wander around, they stumble upon a wasteland of junk and garbage, where they meet a strange man named Tonpa. Tonpa is a self-proclaimed "rookie crusher," someone who takes pleasure in deceiving and discouraging newbies like Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika. However, despite his best efforts, the four friends refuse to give up on their dreams of becoming hunters.

Meanwhile, the Hunter Association is busy evaluating the exam results of all the participants. As the four friends anxiously wait for their scores, they receive a bit of a shock. It turns out that they all failed the practical portion of the exam, meaning they are not official hunters yet. While they are disappointed, they refuse to give up on their dreams. They quickly realize that they have more work to do if they want to become hunters, and so they start preparing for their next exam.

As they train and study for the next round, they cross paths with Tonpa once again. Instead of being discouraged by his taunts, they use his cynicism as motivation to work harder and prove him wrong. They also receive some valuable advice from veteran hunter Wing, who teaches them about the concept of "nen," a powerful technique that allows hunters to tap into their inner energy and unlock new abilities.

Just as they are making progress, they receive word that the location of the next exam has been changed at the last minute. The four friends are forced to quickly adapt and find their way to the new location, which is hidden deep in the mountains. But they are not alone – they must also contend with other aspiring hunters who will stop at nothing to pass the exam.

Overall, "Waste x Decision x Exam Results" is a compelling episode that highlights the resilience and determination of Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika. Despite facing setbacks and obstacles, they remain committed to their goals and refuse to give up. The episode also introduces new characters and concepts that set the stage for future episodes and keep viewers engaged and invested in the story.
