There is a moment where someone says "I have to aim for my target as he hunts his own prey!", and the episode lets it hang in the air just long enough. Hisoka says something clever, Gon says something cleverer, and the viewer is left keeping score on a napkin. Zevil enters the story, and the cast list gets a little more dangerous. It is a clear step up from E13, roughly the difference between instant coffee and the good stuff. Comfortably above average, and it knows it.
