| Maybe I should wait couple of months without watching new episodes and then fast forward through them. I just don't care what happens in this arc anymore. I think I'm developing allergy to that narrator too. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Each RG has a lot of depth in his own way. Pitou, for example. His attitude change from sadist to caring, from this enthusiastic and energetic being to a more subdued and concerned person. And this is not permanent. Pitou is being selfless and selfish at the same time. He too, could tip either way at any time, given the circumstances. We are getting two sides struggling in their own way to get to their goals. I want to write about the other 2 RGs and the King, but I'm too lazy now. :-P In my opinion, these 4 villains are the one of the best developed villains in anime, ever. Coming from a genre where villains are either very static or formulaic. Where the closest thing to development I could hope for is the tsundere trope. |

The sole reason she is healing Komugi is for the King, and it is still all for the King. The only one who one could say strays from that is Youpi by not killing the defeated hunters, but yet he still makes his own priority the King. The King remains the one with the greatest change due to Komugi, but he still has a ways to go. I still wish that Netero would take the time to talk, but old wisdom knows that it wouldn't change anything. Still, he is an outstanding villain of the series. |

| I find myself agreeing with the King's philosophy, and his ultimate goal of equality. Here's a creature that was born with power, and can obviously back it up. Having to witness people in positions of power who are clearly underserving of said positions, it's easy to understand why he'd find it so absurd. Hell, it's a lot like how the world works today. The weak and poor get oppressed. It's really interesting to see the King care about all this, and it goes all the way back to when he met that one leader. But now his feelings are even stronger. All thanks to one little frail gungi player. :) Really loved what Netero had to say about the King being caught in between an ant and a human. He's definitely one of Togashi's most interesting villains. As a matter of fact, he's always been good at making awesome villains. I remember thinking this when I was a young teen while watching Yu Yu Hakusho on Toonami, and here I am in my late twenties watching Hunter x Hunter and it's the same thing. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the rest of the fight between these two. |

| This narrator stuff is getting way too hypocritical, this one definitely did not 'state' the obvious or whatnot. How was it obvious that pitou was getting gon to focus on the narrative? His ulterior motives are supposed to be told. If they had pitou interrupt himself and say it it would be not as good. But regardless of preferences, the fact still stands that if there were no narrator, the characters would convey the message anyway. It would not go away, because of the information. Seems like people are just bandwagoning the narrator hate to look smart. And here come Jehovah's witnesses knocking at my door for being honest.

Also Netero is on a genoside mission with political, social and enviromental implications here... He is afraid of being swayed and is starting to have doubts only because he realizes Meruem potential of a fast growth adn evolution which in the future might bring something good to humanity and the world (but because he can't be swayed is another reason why he doesn't want to talk).... Also don't agree with your claims about Gon and narration. You can call it fan service and no need to think things over and pay attention actually... |

So it's your part of missing the point and respond irrelevantly. |

Also don't agree with your claims about Gon and narration. You can call it fan service and no need to think things over and pay attention actually... There's no reason he can't sit there and talk to the Ant King. Maybe he could make the Ant King see reason. He doesn't know that wouldn't work! The Ant King JUST SAID that he changed his mind, how does he know that he couldn't persuade him further into being non violent? He doesn't know that. I'm saying he is not wise for only trying to fight him and not try to talk to him first, especially since he doesn't know if he can win the fight. His heart is being swayed, what does that even mean? He has no control over his own feelings? I thought he was supposed to be this master who meditated for years? He agreed to go somewhere else to fight him, he didn't use that girl as a hostage against the ant king but left her to be healed and now all of a sudden all he can do is fight even though the ant king is refusing to fight and wants to talk???? It MAKES NO SENSE! And ya Gon is acting like a total jerk. Why did he say that stuff to Killua out of nowhere, just to insult him? Why? How long did he even know Kite for him to get so upset that his whole personality has changed? Why would he risk of the life of an innocent girl just so he could get his own revenge? Having to narrate everything = bad story telling. Show don't tell. Gon knew Kite since episode 1 you can watch first episode of 1999 ,that was Madhouse mistake.... Even without that it is still understandable (he feels guitly for Kite who saved his life, who was his mentor and the only figure that was even close to be considered as his father also he has connection to Ging) .... Why would he insult Killua??? Because he is blinded by rage and emotions...because he is a kid with little life experience.... because he sees things in black and white and has faked up take on morality....and much much more if you pay attention... Not interested on expanding on Netero and his motivations... Meditation is clearly transforming people into gods.... We just have different perspective and understand motivations and emotions differently. Stay cool. Nice talking to you even if we disagree. |
| "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone". Ella Wheeler Wilcox |
| Do people even understand what "show don't tell" even mean? The scene was about Pitou narrating the story to gon. How would they 'show' it? By having Pitou personally say it? Still narration. By using flashbacks? Still narration. In this case, telling is showing. Also, how would they 'show' the internal feelings and emotions? The scene with Youpi was a few minutes, how would they "show" how he felt... give him some seizure or something? Netero doesn't want to talk because talk no jutsu won't work. Sorry. There's no reasoning with someone who sees humans as livestock. Have we ever had people who preached about not killing the cows in our world? We call them vegetarians, and cows still get killed. A newborn ant with naive ideas, at least according to him. And he just said why he can't sit and talk, he was commissioned by governments to assassinate him. Regardless of his own feelings or whether the King ends up being more ant-like or human, he has to kill him. They said a dozen episodes ago that it's okay if only 1 out of these 4 ants die... as long as that's the king, and the rest of the extermination group (who's job was literally "separate the guards from the king") fails can be dealt with later. I don't see how sparing the girl contradicts with... anything. It does feel weird that the Chairman is so sure of winning, just like how the hunters were last episode... like I said there must be something going on. |

| I was watching this, full expecting to enjoy it, since I really liked it in the manga. Why madhouse why. Why did they change how the first attack went. It was simply just Netero's hand movement, then immediately after it he chopped the King. That's why it was unexpected and why the King didn't see it coming. But in the anime, Netero took his sweet time to do it. It makes no sense for the King not to avoid it in the anime. The same goes for the second attack. I'm also not really liking Netero's new voice actor, he makes Netero feel like a different character all together. R.I.P original VA. Well the good decision imo, is that they decided to give the whole episode and the next one hopefully, to the King vs Netero, as opposed to the manga, where they showed it, with the ending of Youpi's fight at the same time. |

| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| @Moonlit-striker Do you even watch the episode? Where did your belief that Netero considers Meruem evil come from? Did you even not see where he says the King is between 2 sides ant-human and taht he doesn't even realize that both are incompatible...but no matter which side he falls in the outcome will be the same....meaning it doesn't even matter if he is good or evil...Did you put any thought to that or what that means or what is the outcome? Did you even read that in my post that you quoted or ignored it? Wise people are exacltly wise because they take wise actions in any given situation.... And in this situation the wise action is to fight (if you actually will consider the whole situation and overall picture here not only individual outlines)... Meruem just told him what he is thinking on doing... what are you talking about? Of course it is bad for the mission..... You can never have 2 "monarchs" can you? Also Netero doesn't have much time for discussion either you will have to see why though.... And other reasons of why he can't talk were pointed out in the previous post (also just think about the current world order and political/social structure and who gave Netero his orders and why.... think about the implications there not only for Netero or Hunter's Organization) |

Actually the attack was in a fraction of a second...time froze.... We can clearly deduce taht and see it (in the animation itself Meruem's face froze) based on Netero's past and attack in the episode 111.... |

Moonlit-Striker said: "It is exactly because he is wise that he doesn't want to talk to Meruem" Uh. What? If anything, wise people would hear another out. That's Netero's problem here: he's too fixated and convinced on an assumption that could change at any time. He comes in with the preconceived notion that the King is evil and/or to be eliminated based on what is given, and won't think about it again. He won't think differently. I mean, is Netero in harm's way so much that talking with Meruem could harm the mission? Not rhetorical, just asking the question. There's your answer. Wise not as in making some god-given correct answer, but as in being a cynical old man whose experiences taught him to realize what notions like these bring. Hence why I consider it grey. 'Cause, look, he won't have any real way to say what Meruem is really planning 'cause he won't know it. He hasn't talked with him yet. He can't make any pre conceived assumptions. He doesn't know the King; there's even no guarantee that's what Meruem is thinking. We know nothing of it - his plan - beyond a casual explanation. And if Meruem ends up with a plan exactly like Netero thought, he could also use the conversation to sway and persuade Meruem to think differently. That's what discussions, that's what talking is for. Just something I thought of though. 1) He knows, the King considers himself on top of the food chain, this little compromise of selecting who he wants to spare isn't gonna do. And like I said in my post above, we all know too well this isn't gonna change. The king's duality makes him conflicted, at any moment, he could tip either way, and whatever argument he had with whichever side is moot. 2) He did not consider him evil. Just a threat, regardless of which nature he adopts. He specifically said that HE is the one doing the dirty work. Again, not so black and white. 3) If the show was battle-hungry, this whole invasion would have turned out differently. But ironically the wise decision to not discuss things with this King specifically. |

Time didn't freeze per se, in the manga or at least that what interpreted from it. The King saw the hand movements and then got chopped in an instant. In the anime, after the hand movements, we see the king watching that yellow aura expanding and the statue forming, for a while, until he finally gets chopped. I don't know, I guess it's not a big deal, but I thought the added scenes, ruined that moment. Because it was supposed to be shocking, fast and unexpected for the reader as well. http://z.mhcdn.net/store/manga/44/27-288.0/compressed/hunter_10.jpg?v=11227773808 http://z.mhcdn.net/store/manga/44/27-288.0/compressed/hunter_11.jpg?v=11227773808 http://z.mhcdn.net/store/manga/44/27-288.0/compressed/hunter_12_13.jpg?v=11227773808 |

| Really amazing episode, just what I want to see, the beginning of an epic battle. But I'm starting to think that this fight will end with no true winner, even if I highly want Netero to win. Now, I hope we will see Gon vs Pitou very soon, just like him, I'm starting to run out of patience too xD |

(I'm sure that'll apply here as well.)But in the anime, Netero took his sweet time to do it. It makes no sense for the King not to avoid it in the anime. The same goes for the second attack. |

| Great ep!! I like Netero's new voice |

| I think Netero doesn't give a damn about who's right or wrong politically. Things change. And if it's time for the ants to be the dominant species, then so be it. He just want to have a one last damn good fight. ^_^ If I remember it correctly, it's Netero who allowed a mad murderer like Hisoka to take the hunter exam when the chairperson before him didn't. |

ReadyJoan said: The Ant King is incredibly powerful. If talking could convince him, which he does not know it wouldn't, then talking is the wise thing to do, esp when he has to bait him into even fighting at all. Even if he's been hired by somebody to kill him, he just said in this episode that they plan to make the hunter association take the blame for all of it. Someone said how do you show internal feelings without narration. I'm talking about the NARRATOR not their inner monologue. Inner monologue is fine. The narration is what annoys me. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so constant. As for Gon, up til now he has been a pretty happy go lucky kid and moral. He met Kite when he was little, he did not know him. It's not like he grew up with him or anything. I get Gon likes him, I like Kite too, but he was not in the show that much for Gon to have this much of an overwhelming emotional reaction. I mean, what would Gon do if something happened to Killua?? Go apeshit and kill everyone in a three block radius bc he's soooo blinded by rage? If Gon knew Kite more than that in the original show/manga, ok, but I'm only watching this show and that's where my judgment is coming from. Respected opinion. I disagree, we have different persepctives and understanding of things. Nice talking to you though. Just don't have the time to continue the pointless debate, my points have been made. |
