| Absolutely amazing. |

| Wut so that real Diego isn't the same as the Diego that Meruem killed before or what? |
| Keep moving forward |
| I am speechless. |
| Just saw the episode, it was really good and made me very sad. I really love this show! |
 |
| It has been a long time since any anime series has managed to make me shed so many tears. Thank you Togashi-sensei, Madhouse ! |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| That was sad. Do anyone know what Palm promised to Killua actally? I forgot it operantly. |

| THE FEEEEEEEEEEEEELS T.T |
| That was really Beautiful. |
| My cold heart resisted so much, but I end up shredding a tiny drop of tear after all... |
| Just Beautiful ....... |
| "Komugi, Iru ka?" "Hai, hai, nandeshou ka.." I was gushing tears. |
 |
| the first FUCKING EPISODE I RATED 5/5 WITHOUT ANY ACTION NEEDED! WOW |

| dafuq is wrong with Palm crying her eyeballs out and shit.. part ant my ass. there are others like her who openly "betrayed" their so-called King. they've done a poor job trying to prolong this episode with the chess scene.. what's with the crying? She was crying even before knowing about Meruem dying after some time.. seriously.. this was a great arc but the end was kinda anticlimactic ps: does Komugi really have to die with him? it's true that the poison was contagious? |

Satouji said: Actually my point was how easily human's thoughts can be manipulated. Have you realised that you're crying for a killer ? you definitely haven't watch the previous episodes even if this is sci -fi what the previous episode said was "THE TRUTH", humans are even fast worst than any other creatures there is. we kill each other, we enslave each other. we destroy everything and all the things there is given the fact that WE HUMANS ARE RATIONAL BEINGS WE STILL DO ALL THIS HORRIBLE THINGS. BUT HOW about meruem? the killing part of him was in his genes! he was BORN A killer, a predator the highest in the food chain? are you saying a lion that kills an animal bad because he was born to live feasting on other creature? and saying that an enlighten creature, who's perception change is not acceptable? jzz go fucking study philosophy please! before you talk shit dumb ass. |

| Fantastic episode Goodbye Meruem and Komugi, such a touching death scene :'( |
Solipsistic said: I don't get the (few) people who think this should've ended any other way. All the build-up of the last few episodes tells us that the King is essentially unstoppable. No other Nen users come close. It would've felt really bullshitty if he'd ended up losing to Gon in some epic end-of-arc showdown, not to mention completely out of place. Gon's hatred was always personal and directed at Neferpitou, not the King; he wouldn't even be able to muster the rage to fight him in that costly adult form (let alone the fact that he *just* got done using it). It's only fitting that the bomb's poison got him in the end. It makes Netero's sacrifice worthwhile, since he was still the one who brought down Meruem (and 2 of the royal guards) -- reiterated in the episode when the green dude thanks him for his service and Morel says he did his job well. Finally, it ties back into the arc's theme of humanity's potential for unflinching greed and malice. In a fair, honorable fight, the ants (Meruem) wipe the floor with the humans (Netero). It was only through underhanded, artificial, deceptive tactics that Netero was able to pull out a win. Even then it required self-annihilation, a final act of rage and selfless deference to one's species -- mirroring the ants' own loyalty. Humanity's dominating instinct is just as fierce as theirs, but they've evolved to use trickery and exploitation in combat to make up for a lack of natural weapons like teeth and claws. The poison perfectly represents this understated yet tenacious killing instinct. The arc's over, and the threat to millions of humans has been eliminated. Why? Because humans themselves are already so good at killing millions of other humans. All it takes is a "poor man's, easily mass-produced" bomb -- not even the worst of our arsenal. Togashi's writing of this arc was truly masterful. Thematic and character development unlike anything else I've seen in shounen. I am so glad I picked up HxH and got to witness this beauty as it aired. it just show's how humans can be the most brutal creature in the face of the fucking planet. looks my be deceiving -le blanc. |

Palm IS a Chimera Ant. Just because you betray the King doesn't mean you're no longer an Ant. Not sure why you're making a fuss out of this. 2. Komugi cried because she has always been a cry baby. 3. Yes. Not sure what kind of ending you want. Let me guess, Kurapika suddenly show up and defeat Mereum with some crazy power, and then Komugi never be spoken again. That's what you want right? Also this'll be my last post for the night I need to sleep maybe we can continue this "discussion' tomorrow. I'm sure more of you die-hard HxH is the best anime in this rotting world fanboys would show up and quote what I've said. Seriously everytime I say something a little negative in this forum.. guys like you appear. |

| Epic ending to an epic arc to be honest! <3 |

Seriously everytime I say something a little negative in this forum.. guys like you appear. palm is somewhat mad or angry r even shocked to a creature like meruem, who was born a ruler/ king to have a change of hearth, put your self in to her stand. then think, and ask why would this fucking king even care for low creatures like us and humans? wouldn't you get angry? like you killed tons of humans and ants and now you fucking care for them? and at last, when the king is about to bown down to her. she cried and couldn't stand how change this king really is. how a born ruler, bown down to a low creature like her. with the fact that she ant. the more the reason she couldn't bare it |

| I cried... nice episode |
| Damn this anime for making me cry... ;------; |
| Just....just..... the Chimera Ant Arc I didnt expect that to happen just like that, but my reaction when i saw Pouf dead was" Damn Pouf, you deserved a better end". Same with king but it was executed brilliantly, the whole Komugi x Meruem . Looking forward to see what happened to Gon ,Killua seemed lost in that 1 scene we got from him. Anyway one of the best arcs i watched so far, and i talk only about the Chimera Ant Arc, i have wathced the original 1999 series and the OVA's as before that and it was really hard in the beginning to get into HxH 2011. Just great Arc and if anyone still wonders, yeah Gon is supposed to be searching for his father. |

naens said: xieghart said: Meruem didn't have to go and play with Komugi and he knew that it was dangerous for her. He could have also stopped playing and go away before it was lethal for her. So that means that letting her die was his decision. I don't say that it makes him evil. I only say that usually people try to save the life of persons they love. But the King was different. And why, I don't know.Mereum told Komugi that he's poisoned and about to die soon, but before he finished talking, he already saw/sensed Komugi's response, which she responded by her willing to stay with him. I don't know how people keep missing this. It's easy to say that they had more than enough time to play one game and Mereum could of left. It was Komugi's decision to stay with him. And Komugi had nothing else to live for anyway naens said: And also, did they cure Palm from her ant part? She looked like fish, but the next day was normal. No she wasn't did you not see the sleeves and big orb still on here head? |
| Meruem has gained 100+ more favorites because of this episode, haha. |

Komugi cried of happiness because she could play Gungi with an opponent that was worthy. Gungi is her life. Meruem brought light (or happiness) to a blind girl exactly what his name means actually, and that's why he says "I was born for this moment..." (he found happiness through playing Gungi with her too) Komugi says this too... They follow death together. Maybe there is a spiritual message here like "death is not the end" and that true death is being alone.... |

| I had very watery eyes, but didn't cry. No anime has made me cry yet but a few have come very close, this was probably one of the most bittersweet episodes I've seen of anything. Magical. Brilliant. |

| Wow, that was great. The last bits of their dialogue made it that more much painful to watch. Komugi also looked like a goddess at the end. Excellent episode. Excellent arc |
    |
| This is not just an anime, its a masterpiece! Thank you Togashi for sharing us the wonderful story of Komugi and Meruem. Their story is something that I will never forget and will always adore and cherish. And Kudos to MadHouse for the excellent job of animating this. You know, even Pouf's death whom i've always despise made me sad. Dying beside people who don't give a fuck about you is just extremely despairing. RIP Komugi, Meruem, Pouf, Pitou, Youpi, Netero,Kite, Pokkle, Ponzu and everyone who died in this arc. Oh i just want to share with you this guy's review about the whole chimera ant arc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi0TyY1pY8w&list=PL5k8kgVRPLo8Vmg9vpZT8qmfQvEsYCPiL |

| They really did leave the best 'til last with this one. Powerful, emotional, sad, happy...beautiful! I never thought this would be the pinnacle of the arc for me. I was so fixated on Gon getting revenge for Kite. I never imagined that the story would develop in this way; that the omnipotent king would change so dramatically, by the love of one seemingly insignificant girl. If there's to be any criticism, I guess the beginning of the arc was really slow. And more annoyingly, the antagonists seemed far too strong... But hopefully we can now see Hisoka, Kurapika, and Leorio again :3 |

| Beautiful episode. WAS THAT DAYLIGHT I SAW FOR A WHILE? WOOOOOW Finally, new arc pls |
