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.

Damn.Did not expect him to worry about her so much.Like seriously, he was actually panicking when he saw her wounds.Its amazing to see him becoming more and more human with each episode.I won't lie tho, that for a second i was worried about Komugi, when he was walking and saying all the ''I will kill her NOW'' stuff.

I cant even imagine what will happen later on between them.
Amazing.Simply amazing.

Decent episode?

I enjoy this episode more than the previous.
Meruem is an incredible character

I am really looking forward to see how this plan of theirs is going to turn out. It seems like it has potential, but judging from Knovs reaction to the royal guards En, not so sure if it will succeed.
Also still hoping they will show more of what Kurapika is up to or something. Haven't seen him in for a while :(

Awesome episode!! At last the start of the long awaited Meruem development XD

Dat Meruem development!!! Pouf's reactions were hilarious esp the tears and the violin XD

Meruem wanting a name and thinking that he figured out what he truly feels just to find out he was being tsundere with himself was so lol XD..."I'm going to friggin kill her" a few seconds later...he's so worried about her and mind fucked by what the hell he's saying and why he's caring about her XD...telling her she's a precious guest lol and saying thinking what the hell is this creature XD
Hehehe...really loving this ^^, And much more to come with the Meruem development from here on :D

Pitou is fun as usual nyaa :)...and our guys have put their plan into motion! It's coming!!! The moment of epicness >.< Can't wait :D

Also Dat White Haired Knov in the PV XD

I detest the ever generic Pouf, and his gay over the top dramatic nonsense. Violin, blonde string hair, butterfly wings, and all.

I hope Morel turns the fuck up and gives him the beatdown.


That last scene with the king was not only pleasing, but hilarious as he's talking to himself inside his head trying to snap out of it, while saying all these caring things to Komugi.

Dat ending

When the 2011 was announced this was the scene I wanted to see animated most, no matter how many times I read it it was always sublime.

This arc is not great for its battle, it's for its chara development

Oh jeez, now I'm starting to like this mass murderer of a king. Though when you think about it, he was just only recently born and has been acting on instinct with no real knowledge of the world and without any meaningful life experiences...

Amazing episode as expected, I enjoyed the build-up of the invasion in the manga
(this and the next two episode) just as much as the invasion. King was great in this episode, he is confused AF. But Pouf made this episode for me, this guy is funny as hell, pitou is funny too, she just wants to fight. Seems like Youpi is the only mentaly normal royal guard.

Awesome episode! I will not even comment on the King's character development, because everyone is doing that, but what really surprised me is that I didn't find Pouf to be as irritating as the manga, the voice actor is doing a pretty good job, I think.

Yes, that was pretty hilarious. When he saw the antics of Pouf, he went like: 'what the f- ?!'

And then, a bit later, when he saw Pitou and her frustration-'nyaa'ing', he was like: 'What's up with her??'

He's a bit simple minded, but I think he's starting to feel/think that all his Royal Guard companions have a screw loose.

And, in fact, he's not far off.

Wow, what a beautiful ending scene for between the king and the girl.. Felt my heart stir a little, didn't think king would experience much development, just saw him as some really strong final boss character but this episode changed that view, hopefully he develops some more!!

Also butterfly man, stahp.

An amazing episode, I actually love those episodes in HxH more then the actual action/fighting episodes... The character development in this episode is godlike, it's so realistic and resembles how most humans think and feel(no idea what they want or why they do what they do). And to turn it around like that..First Togashi lets us think that Meruem regretted killing that child only to turn it around and establish that he exceeds in brute force therefore he can do anything and be evil and at the end he again turns it around by making the king contradict himself by his actions!!! Not even knowing why!!! GODLIKE!!!

Damnit, action packed or not, this show just doesn't stop. I like how he tried to convince himself that mental strength doesn't matter just because he can't defeat Komugi. Self denial, regret, compassion. Meruem is more human than most of the ants, and considering the horrors he's creating, that's saying something. Top notch character.

Lol Tsundere King XD... "It s not like I don't want to kill you or anything~~ Baka!" *blushes*

Komugi being attacked by that eagle was quite random though, it's the same in the manga. I wish that part made a bit more sense.

I loved the King's badass-ness when he said he was the most powerful. I'm soooo sooo sorry for having a dirty mind. The King's last line "What do I want to do with her" when I read it in the manga I had the same reaction as when I watched it. I'm soo sooorrryy. lol.

And yet, all I see is people complaining about Killua's needle scene. That already had a few implications before this arc even began.

..When I first read this part in the manga, since it was a black bird there, I kind of thought of it as a Deus ex Macrowna....

Oh well. This development is splendid, nonetheless!
