| Honestly, I find it hard to believe that Knuckle and Morel sympathize with the Queen's death. It's all her fault. She ordered to eat innocent humans after all .. Anyway, if that scene had been a kind of "gag" to show how much naive Knuckle and Morel are, I would understand then. Btw, why is Netero so badass? And, who is this acquaintance of him? Oh right, I'm liking Colt more and more. tsudecimo said: I think they prolonged the queen scene because of Colt, he is probably gonna be important later on the story. To be honest, I'm not really liking this arc so far, I hope it's just setting up for great things to come because so far it's disappointing. A lot of annoying and repetitive episodes. 3/5 for this episode. Think that, this is by far my favorite arc of HxH till now. |

Dangerr said: xmaikokoro said: Yet, many of us despise the Chimera Ants for killing and eating people; but we kill and eat animals all the time. It's very ironic and philosophical. The big difference here, though, is that humans are sentient, and animals are not. You're correct, however, in that it's in their nature to vie for the top of the food chain, and assimilate as needed; the ants have only been around for 2-3 months, I believe, so many of them haven't had time to process all the philosophical and moral implications of what they're actually doing - they're torn between their hive mentality and individuality, brought on by their human heritage. With the death of the Queen, I think its fair game that most ants get a second chance at life, as while they've committed many atrocities, it's only in their newborn nature to do so. It also must be considered that the very crimes they were committing to feed the queen, perhaps not even weeks before, they were the humans themselves being hunted down by other chimera ants. There's many unique factors here that give the ants some moral and ethical considerations and exceptions that you will not often find in scenarios like this. Well, I think it's debatable whether or not animals have sentience. Some people believe they do to some extent while others think that they don't and therefore, are inferior to humans (which is often the basis for abuse). This view, I believe also mirrors what is shown in HxH as most Chimera Ants consider themselves superior to humans and thus, abuse them like how Neferpitou probes Pokkle's brain for information. But I do agree, the way the Chimera Ants are set up is very unique and is able to have very unusual ethical and philosophical concepts explored. |

I'm genuinely curious. A/ If you bothered to check my profile you would notice that I have HxH in my favorites and I gave it a 9 B/How am I complaining? I just experseed my opinion on the current arc. It doesn't need to be positive to be shared. C/ What I said is a hella a lot better than your disgusting shipping of Killua and Gon. Yes, your stupid shipping is way better than actually giving your opinion about the contents of the show.*blatant sarcasm* xieghart said: ^The whole arc felt slow despite having fights here and there, with a high density of them towards the end of the arc. However, after reading the final moment of this story, I was completely touched and immediately made me appreciate and love the arc even more than the short but exciting Yorkshin arc. It must have had a great ending for it to top the Yorkshin arc, future will tell. I still like this more than the greed island arc though. this arc is not slow and easily is 1 of the best saying this arc is slow before the end is incredibly stupid my shipping has nothing to do with loving this arc , i just love the story and always curious what happens next, keep ur insulting comments to your self you kid C/ What I said is a hella a lot better than your disgusting shipping of Killua and Gon. how is it disgusting? alot of people ship them i suppose if i shipped a girl and Gon it would be fine |

| I'm glad that the queen is dead. I have a feeling that the baby will be important later. Looks like next episode will be a comedy filled episode. |
 |
| A lot of things happened this episode. Netero becoming serious, the Queen died, and King finding his kingdom, and then, the other kid of the King (I guess we can consider it as the King's twin?). Can't wait to see the serious stuff. We are surely getting so close to it! |

Do you want me to quote your past posts? C/ What I said is a hella a lot better than your disgusting shipping of Killua and Gon. how is it disgusting? alot of people ship them i suppose if i shipped a girl and Gon it would be fine No it wouldn't, HxH doesn't have romance in it and certainly not between Gon and Killua who are just good best friends and it's not SnK so nobody wants you to turn it into one. Keep your shipping to yourself, shipping kids together that's like a whole new level of being disgusting. Ughh |

| the palace scene reminds me of the 2 things that i have been waiting eagerly for... komugi and gungi... |

| I think I was the only one who cried a bit during this episode especially during the scenes with Colt at his dying queen's side. Maybe I was just emotional at the time. Oh and the lighting they used in that scene was fantastic! Although the episode may have been a bit slow than it could have. |
| @bewareofhisoka I did notice the lighting as well. Brilliantly done, per usual. They always know how to emphasize those details. Most of the time I notice lighting, though, is when they show clips of Gon's eyes. They always make sure to emphasize his eyes above all his other features. |

| I couldn't care less about the queen but damn the scene with Colt after her death was beautiful.Morel and Knuckle are both really likable. Can't wait to see who Netero's acquaintance is,hopefully it's someone we know. |
Calumz said: why do you watch animes to complain? this is arc is amazing and it gets more amazing stop watching it if u dislike it im sick of people coming here giving this anime a 5/10 then leaving without actually watching it Damn calm down there. Not everyone HAS to like this arc or agree with you. That's just ridiculous. I've said several times (maybe too much) that I find this to be the weakest of the 4 major arcs. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy some parts of it or I should drop the series because it's your favorite arc and I don't agree with you. If tsudecimo thought the episode drug out the queen scene than he/she has the right to express their opinion as much as you have the right to express yours of how much you are going to nuthug the current arc. |
| I must be one of the only ones completely disconnected with that entire queen scene, yeah they have memories from their previous life - but every action they took after being reborn into ants was slaughtering masses of humans without a shred of regret. Its hard for me to sympathize with any of those characters including Colt. When morei and knuckle were crying all i could think was " ... ". A couple episodes back with that childhood backstory for the NGL underlord had me feeling the same way, very mediocre and shallow aspects for the anime focus on imo. |

| dat baby was disturbing |
| We finally get to see what Palm TRULY looks like animated. |
| Was I the only one glad the queen died...? |
| Yeah. The everyone here except you hopes Queen get back to life so she can eat more and more peaceful human (adult and children) |

| very weak episode, but heck that's the chimera arc for you. Lots of boring episodes between the few good ones. |
 |
| Yeah, while I think this was necessary I do feel it was a bit dragged out. I mean, was I supposed to feel sympathy for her? I can't even feel sympathy for Colt, who had a much lesser part in this. Wondering about the second baby though. How quickly will it grow and how strong will it become?(Don't answer that lol) |
| When Netero was asking for Colts opinion of his nen compared to the king and found out how strong his aura was, I can honestly feel the excitement Netero was feeling when he found out that Kings aura was out of his league to due to the fact that Netero hasnt had a good fight in long time since the Zoldycks(I think). Candor said: Agreed.Morel is too manly. |

| so netero can't lay a hand on the king, i can't stand wait to see netero vs the king's fight colt is very loyal to his queen to the bitter end :/, gon and killua Start training but it's worthless for gon since he can't use his nen the pace was bit slow but was good for me and the animation was also as good as the previous episode there's no blood but still a good one 5/5 for this week too |
 |
| Wonder who Netero is off to see. I get the feeling it is Gon and Killua. |

| Oh my feels for this episode. Colt seeing his Queen dying. Dat baby from her and his resolve to protect her. Morel and dat promise. T___T. But whoa that looked like Kite? 0__0 Netero cutting his hair symbolizes change. He is gonna be serious now when fighitng the CAs. Wow dat backstory with Spin and how she became a hunter. So she could protect/preserve the billed swan habitat. One day show it to Gon and Killua. Whoa the CA scattered all over the place to look for their own terrtories. Cheetah Ant is outside NGL 0___0 King aka Meruem sets his site on a new location to reproduce. Seems this place befits his kinglyness Aww a date with Gon and Palm XDD. Killua looks jealous : 0 |
| OMG!! Kite!! |

| Creeeeeepy. Madhouse did a good job. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| That tiny baby was a huge surprise. A few seconds before it was removed, I thought about the possibility of another kid, but wrote it off because of size issues lol. Should have known that wouldn't stop this mangaka! It's fascinating that it looks so human, too. I thought the episode was pretty sad. It was more because of Colt's reaction as opposed to the queens death itself. Though I'm a bit conflicted regarding the ants. If some of them remember a good deal of their human lives, what's going on with them psychologically to be able to slaughter humans the way they did and continue to do? XD Crazy. |
Paul said: Was I the only one glad the queen died...? Definitely not. |
 |
| Not a episode with action, but still very good. |
 |
| Colt is such a great character. He killed humans only for the queen, he's not a bad guy :) |
| dude i cried poor colt and his big human heart. didnt give a shit about the queen, just felt for colt, and the feelings got wet when he cradled a tiny fetuschild in his hands. dude's life is empty man, i have a feeling the fetuschild will turn out to be op'ed but also gentle (this better happen) so excited for the takeovers. i wanna see ecosystems change, i wanna see offspring, small dynasties rise and fall. cant wait for mureum to exact his terror. wanna see who the old acquaintance is. its crazy how this started with some ants and now its like an epidemic. this might be my favorite arc, depending on how it ends. |
| So they're trying to go Shiki on me with the whole "show some feels for the bad guys" moment, better luck next time. Only one I feel sorry for is Colt because he seems to be the must humane out of all of them. I guess the penguin fella was alright too lol. As for the rest looking forward to them dying a slow horrible death, especially the king and his guards :D |
 |
| she gave birth to a human baby?!.. but the size.. how will they stop those chimera ants?? if each of them would make their own kingdom... damn. |
 |
| More DBZ reference? Netero asking Colt to compare the power level of his to Meruem, it's like how Goku asked the Cat God to check his power level compare to Cell's. What's up with that baby? Is that significant? To be honest I don't really care about the Queen's dying will. The whole time I was sitting here dazing at the screen wondering when will it ends. People had been running their mouth off, I didn't know that was Kite, and now I am spoiled. Whatever. -.- |
