Woo Chang-hee's definitely been a 'hit' over a 'miss' 9 times out of 10 IMO, as long as the episode has a good pace (not too fast or slow).Candor said: 2 episodes left. Tomorrow there's one and next week we'll finally reach the long-awaited invasion. All my hype. Wonder how Madhouse will handle all them double-spreads. Woo Chang-hee better do a good job of animating that episode. Honestly, I have no idea why they didn't put Mori on episode 111. |

PHEW, thanks for the info. Plus - there wasn't much they were able to do to disguise the immense lack of animation. Going by what the team has pulled off in previous episodes, episode 111 shouldn't be problematic. |
|
| Pfft Shaia. XD Meruem and Komugi were very interesting in this episode! Love how conflicted he was. |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| Wow those feelings King has towards her =o interesting =) Only one more day!! |
 |
| that youpi reaction, WTF with my companion!? |
| I'm guessing the reason he hasn't killed her is b/c she's pretty similar to his old human self which is Gyro if I'm not mistaken. |
 |
| I took a break from the show only to get this.....what a god damn episode. Mereum is turning into such an intriguing character and his stuff with Komugi is taking this arc to a whole new level. |

Just a heads up, when you reach episode 111, DO NOT look at the preview. Seriously! =)) |

| The ending kinda weirded me out seeing Meruem care for Komugi and stuff idk |
 |
| This episode... is masterpiece. The second part! Oh wow, if Togashi didn't write the arc so cruelly, I surely wouldn't feel astonished as I am right now. |
| Now I know, that Togashi is really a fucking genius ... |

| Another amazing episode of Hunter x Hunter, go figure. Seriously, this anime is the best shounen I've ever watched. |
| Lovely development from the king. |

| Fascinating. Some really good character development going on here. Its pretty sad that Komugi seems to think she has barely any value, but then that's not surprising when you think about her being a blind girl living in a North Korea esq country who's best skill is playing a board game. I have a bad feeling about what will happen to her during this battle. |

| Love and Peace!!! |
| Chimera Ants can be so hot. The king is my favorite, followed by Cheetu. Love both their überhuman bodies and their personalities. |
| I really do think this slow burn that the series has been on up to this point throughout the 100's is as great as the actual invasion. Watching the Hunters slowly but surely piece together their operation whether physically or planning things out and the King's developing relationship with Komugi, and how it's starting to effect the guards (particularly Pouf). Fantastic stuff. Also, it's interesting how Pitou almost seems supportive of the King here. Telling him to go with his feelings, quite a bit different from Pouf's response. @ Cresherhsm I notice you didn't mention episode 91 as part of the "best" episodes up to now. It's a favorite for me in that it kind of sets up the way the King is at this point. As in, who the hell would think the guy who killed other ants and an entire family would care for a human girl? It also makes me appreciate Colt's "They are devils" line. Nothing is quite that simple, Togashi seems to answer. |

Vogue- said: Talking 'bout gay when you got Hisoka as your avvie. HahaI detest the ever generic Pouf, and his gay, Dat episode had me rolling for all the good reasons : Pouf's antics straight out of a 70's josei were gold. Can't stop the love, Pouf. Can't stop the love. Also this,  never seen someone get that tense after being asked their name lmao Looks like someone is getting developped and there's nothing he can do about it. Just let it happen, Meruem-kun. PS: Komugi, I get that you're blind and kind of a ditz, but really tho : you definitely could've gotten out of the room or smth. |

| Pouf's loyalty is amusing to watch |
| Wow, that was amazing. The King's and Komugi's relationship is so fascinating. |
 |
| Yeah, uh... I like Komugi, but she's being a bit overblown. She hasn't done anything but beat Meruem at Gengi. Granted, that's an accomplishment. I don't see how that makes her an amazing character, though. (Actually, I couldn't buy the tears at the end. Is it just me?) Seeing Meruem get character development is interesting. I actually thought he was going to regret killing that girl too. Such a troll moment. Still, the sudden switch from wanting to kill Komugi to being concerned is a nice depiction of his inner conflict. Pouf's antics were hilarious. That's melodrama done correctly. xD Gon & co.'s plan sounds decent. How things will play out is a different story, however. |
| I've always looked at the little girl scene as a moment of him genuinely doubting himself and then going into a state of denial , trying to convince himself that that is his right as King. Him saving Komugi at the end from the bird, almost as if fate/god or whatever was telling him "no, stop lying to yourself", kind of reaffirms my belief. Also, Komugi beating him at Gungi isn't just an accomplishment it's pretty freaking huge. Also, her affecting Meruem to the point of him causing self harm is pretty damn allarming. Unless you are talking about why people actually like her character? For me it's more her influence on Meruem that I really appreciate, though I do like her line in episode 105 about betting her life and the Kokoriko scene. This was easily one of my favorite HxH episodes, btw. |

This was easily one of my favorite HxH episodes, btw. I'm talking about her as a character. I agree that her affect on Meruem is a large contribution to the story, and that her strategic genius is largely the source of said effect. I suppose her fragility has something to do with it too, though. I really enjoyed the episode too. I just don't get the fanboying/fangirling. Edit: Fixed a typo. |

| A lot of people (including me) happen to like her relationship with Meruem, so maybe that has something to do with it. I don't think she's overly popular on her own, though. As in, when she's talked about it's almost invariably either together with Meruem or....well, I can't really mention that just yet. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| the more i see the royal guard the less i care about them, they are a joke an the butterfly man is the worst i guess that leaves the king, MIGHT be the only interesting villain of this arc depending on the next episodes |
 |
| ^ your posts are hilarious to read. |
| Mad respect for Komugi for getting The King to remember her name. Honestly thought he might have be regretful for a moment but nope. And omg,nearly cried when The King saved Komugi,especially when she started crying. |
| That character developement |
MCAL said: I wonder if Youpi thinks his two fellow Royal Gurads are losing their minds. LOL! Especially Pouf, omg that guy is hilariously overdramatic and definitely over thinks as well. Honestly what I like about these episodes is that I actually don't dislike these Royal Guards or Meruem as I did in the beginning. It's interesting to see how these characters are when they're not all intimidating. I felt bad for the King the moment Komugi asks for his name. It's sad that he doesn't know it. He probably wouldn't care less if he had a name or not, but after meeting Komugi and then being asked about it, it kind of feels important to have a name, an identity, instead of just having the title of "king". I'm really liking his character development. Although a moment just before he was spouting how he's super powerful and who cares if Komugi is great at and only good at Gungi, the next moment he's entirely aware of her fragility. His attitude is already changing, but his mind can't keep up with it. |
Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Decent episode. Geez Shaiapouf, worry much? I also really like where the match is going to though. VIOLENCE = Power. Just what I had expected from the King. I can't wait to see him fight. I'm surprised he saved Komugi there though. Decent? Merely Decent? This was probably the best episode in the entire arc so far. Amazing development for the king, and the ending few minutes were some of the most emotional in the whole series - it's like he's almost becoming a father to her. |
| Looks like the king is developing feelings for Kumogi. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
I love Pouf. He makes everything so dramatic not to mention he's handsome as fuck ♥ |
| pouf is a poof |
| ack that last scene with Komugi and Meruem hit a little close to home.... It was really beautiful though. Meruem's change was a little predictable, but it's still surprising me in many ways. Youpi (I love that name) reacting to his fellow guards going crazy was great too :> |
 |
| Wow, i been waiting a while to see this animated. Its been a damn long time since ive read this in the manga.I vaguely remember it. There was so much build-up as Mereum realized that humans might have the potential to surpass him in some areas and that strength is not necessarily limited to the physical might. Then he suddenly snapped out of it and went on a soapbox about how he was the strongest because he can kill anyone right? It felt like he was lying to himself willingly denying the observations he had just made seconds before. Or in order to preserve his belief in his superiority and right to rule. But then he sees Komugi in trouble and acts automatically. I absolutely love his internal monologues and interactions with the human girl. This is the most complex villain every written. Take note: Hiro mashima, Masashi Kishimoto, Tite Kubo, and yes even you Eiichiro Oda, this is how you do character building. Fcking brillient only from the minds of that genius tactician Yoshihiro Togashi |
  |
| yoyoyoyoyoyoyrkdfjksdjfkdsjfksjfkjfkjdsfksdjfkdsj I'm screaming. This arc is way too long for its own good, but I absolutely love the buildup between Komugi and Mereum and how he gained human feelings of caring, trust and wanting to protect her. So good yo. Is it bad if I kind of ship them? |
| There's like a dedicated FC for them, so it's all good. But you should wait a bit before joining. The best is yet to come. |

| The last part of the episode was very emotional. I thought that he was going to kill her for sure. |
 |
| Hoping Meruem would gain trust to Komugi. Sugoi episode. Chills to my spine! |
