When Gon talked with Gin on episode 146, he told him that Kite turned into a
little girl.

I can't recall that scene anywhere in the series, can anyone tell me when/how
it happened and where it was shown?

When was Kite shown as a little girl?


Spoilers galore:

> Kite was killed and was fed to the ant queen. When the queen was killed, she
> had one last baby, a little girl. That little girl was known to be Kite
> because she rejected the name her caretakers gave her and referred to
> herself as Kite. This happened in Episode 92.

As the asker may have seen in episode 146,

Episode 147 begins with a long metaphysical monologue from Koala

Previous answers mentioned earlier episodes which described Kite was a girl.
Those were just quick mentions or a quick scene. It was not until watching
episode 147 that I understood the bigger picture. The aforementioned [Wikia
article](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Kite) explains a lot of this as
well, but watch episode 147 as it contains the main explanation.

  * **When** : The first time the reborned-Kaito (or Kite) is shown in the manga is in Chapter 316 (picture shown below). This event takes place when Gon is still injured from his fight with Neferpitou and right before the King's death and end of the Chimera Ant's arc. Gon later meets Kaito in Chapter 337.
  * **How** : Some humans that were killed and digested by the Queen are reincarnated into her offspring (only some because the number of digested humans far exceeds that of the Queen's children, and not all of them have human memories though). However, Neferpitou kept Kaito's body instead of feeding it to the Queen and therefore does not fall into the previously mentioned category. From this wikia article:

> Kite has a strong will to survive and does not wish to die.
