Gl with that. I kinda feel sorry for Colt though.. Well well, what do we have here: Aww Colt ;.; Oh and I miss Kite still ;.; . I see the King is also setting his eyes on a new target. |

| Interested to see how things will pan out. I don't even know what that baby/demon fetus was suppose to be, Kite scared the shit out of me, and next episode seems to focus on Palm "quivers in fear". Overall it was a good episode as usual, but is anyone else finding it hard to feel bad for the Chimera Ants after all the bad we have seen them doing? This episode just didn't really hit me emotionally like it seemed it should have, I know they aren't all bad but it seems like the way they have been represented (or at least how I have perceived them to be) is vicious and ruthless. |

MCAL said: Next Episode: Date with Palm. Something tells me I am going to laugh a lot. And by the sound of it, seems Gon has some dating experience (No spoilers). omg i love Palm xd a Gon has only ever dated Killua |
| Um, R.I.P the Ant Queen, although I didn't really care about her. It's nice to see a few ants that aren't completely bad. Oh SHIT. Next episode, Palm's date and hopefully the episode after that we will see Easily one of my favorite moments of the arc, so hyped. |

| Can someone explain to me why Netero decided to cut his hair a little this episode? |

| That was one small baby. 0_o Solid episode. 4/5 |

I don't know if there was an actual reason, but if I'm to guess, it was probably along the lines of Netero's version of war paint. Saying, he's about to get serious as fuck, similar to why he put on that heart shirt. @lolimoly - That's a good guess. Maybe we'll see Zeno again, or Zeno's grandfather. I doubt it would be someone from the younger generation, considering Netero's age. |

| Wow at how many foreshadowing they showed in this episode. Really looking forward to the date.

But i think it was just togashi trying to give Netero a serious characteristic feeling. Is it time to get serious?  |

| I see Koala Ant again! I feel bad for Colt though. |
| pew pew pew |
| Can't say I felt for the queen, glad she's dead. The aftermath of her death has resulted in anarchy though, I really hope those ant generals get wiped out before they can reproduce. Colt is probably the only ant I can empathize with and the fetus was very unexpected. I wonder if there's a deeper meaning to it and I hope he can protect it. It's fairly depressing how optimistic everyone is about saving Kite, I wonder when they'll learn the truth. |
 |
| Quite an emotional episode for me. Looks like all the ants are leaving NGL to become their own King and the King himself is setting his sights on a new place to take over. |

| Meruem... has a nice ring to it. Good episode, the way they handled the scene between Colt and the Queen was interesting. I felt it was very well done, very emotional. This episode only covered 1 chapter and 10 pages though... which is kinda disheartening but the pacing worked kinda to create a touching scene for the Queen's farewell. |
| That baby was a huge wtf moment for me. I mean... how tiny is it? Meanwhile, I wonder how fast the King is going to kill every single person in the Republic of East Gorteau? It'll probably take him like 5 minutes lol. Netero vs. the King will be friggin' awesome! I can't wait to see both of them at their full power! ^//^ |

| Some of you guys might not be able to sympathise with the chimera ants. They are not as evil as some of you make them to be. They are just a new species superior to humans, which is why they hunt humans and eat them. And the humans in hxh realised that and try to kill all the chimera ants to save themselves. Both sides just try to survive |

Both sides just try to survive This is an excellent way of looking at things. Just as there are corrupt chimera ants, there are corrupt humans in society. And watching them eat humans may seem somewhat gruesome to some, but when you look at the situation from another perspective.. even as humans in real life, do we not belittle other species by killing and eating them as well? We can survive as a species without meat. But I digress. |

| I can accept this episode as a new way to look at chimera ants but the hell is up with the next episode? A date? Common man. |
| Great episode as always but... what the hell madhouse, is it too hard to use some other soundtrack? I don't even say to use some of the new soundtrack, but please there a lot of soundtrack you can use, how the hell am I supposed to cry with those soundtrack you used (and you use EVERY. FUCKING. EPISODE.) |
| I may be wrong, but weren't the queen's last words, "My darling, Co-.." (Colt) not "My beloved son..." ?? CrunchyRoll...!! D:< |

Candor said: -Quasar said: It's more of a proper intro episode for Palm. However, it should be the last fun light-hearted stop/chapter in this arc, so enjoy it while you still can. The next one should be in the middle of the next arc, after 40 episodes approx.I can accept this episode as a new way to look at chimera ants but the hell is up with the next episode? A date? Common man. can you please try to be a little less "spoilery"? While your comments aren´t about major things I dont mind it that much, but the comment about the king and the castle from your post before does kinda cross the line. You don´t need to jump in and give us answers even if questions like the one quasar gave come up. We dont really expect that question to be answered by someone who read the manga ;) |
| Great episode,as always. But I don't understand why they didn't cover 2 chapters as usual...they covered chapter 215 and 10 pages of chapter 216,while the chapter 216 has 15 pages. |

| kind of a pointless episode in my opinion.I guess it gave clot some character development, but 15 mins of just the queen dying? come on who cares about the ant queen? there were some interesting parts but overall a meh episode 2/5 imo. |
| Its gonna be hard defeating every 'king' now :/ |
| very good episode. had 2 big WTF moments for me..but also was quite abit emotional,which i didnt expect. cant wait for next weeks HxH |
| Even though I didn't pay much attention to Netero before, he was pretty cool. I liked him with longer hair more though. Also, he has a lucky shirt! WTF! What if it gets ripped during battle. The Queens death was sort of sad, but I couldn't get into it with them being insects plus the fact that none of the characters were to my tastes. I wonder how Killua and Gon will fare from here. |
| Even though most people didn't care about the Queen dying, I can't help but feel touched during that death scene. Although she was dying, all she cared about was Meruem. She wondered if he had a defection and hoped that he was alright. I felt like that was the love only a mother or possibly even a father would know - even if your children turn out to be evil and horrendous, that does not stop a mother or father from loving them from the bottom of their hearts. The Ant Queen is very human and that scene has shown that all these Chimera Ants are extremely reflective of humans, if not exactly the same. And it begs the question that what you hate about the Chimera Ants... shouldn't that also be what you hate in humans? 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. |
| One of the slowest episodes of the series, the queen dying took too long imo. If the next episode manages to cover more than 2 chapters though, the pace will pick up a lot. From the spoilers, I feel they might reshuffle the events a bit. |

That's because the queen got way too much screen time.. they wanted to emphasis her death, took sooo long. |

| 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. |

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. |
