Am I the only one who thinks that Netero's god beam should be WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MORE powerful than the miniature rose bomb...? the rose bomb is like 1/10 of today's nukes... and that wasn't even nuclear.. a god like beam has to be more powerful then that...-.-
the rose bomb is also super common apparently with 250 countries having 10 each, meaning 2500, they could've just dropped 10 of those on the palace (or teleported them in using the portals) way before the people got there from the city.... one of the strongest humans no match to a single bomb...

Anyone notices how attractive Komugi looks with her hair down? It's like a different person.

soraibi said:
Great episode. Makes me feel guilty and weird for those dudes that cried for the king. Also the Rose Bomb reminded me of ....

ryuushogi said:
I hope the king dosent die..

n10sity said:


I hope he is dead. But not so much because he is suppose the villain. I want him dead because if a freakin' WMD can't kill him then he is immortal. If he is immortal then he is useless as both a villain and a hero. I'm afraid he isn't dead though.

Gon is the best protagonist in shounen no doubt about it..............

Misail said:
Unless the storyteller says that the king is dead I am 90% sure that he is still alive.

Nice bomb kappa, just what you expect from togashit. Should have just thrown bombs at their nest and ended this arc in 2 episodes because bombs are so op here.

Were they secretly hinting to World War 2 events? You know.. the bombs..

And i wonder if King is alive.. would be kinda cool story progression to see him dead. But maybe the catlady could heal him... aahh idk :D

i just LOVE HOW I CANT PREDICT THE NEXT OUTCOME

detectivekillua said:


if togashi is really "realistic heavy" with the bomb then wouldnt it have some sort of radiation poisoning like the whole hiroshima incident ... and if that is truly the case then pouf and youpi are goners from that radiation , if infact he really thought that deep

I really like how this episode felt so calm and slow. It was almost relaxing in a way, which provided an excellent contrast with the insanity of the previous episode. Not too much happened, but all in all it worked extremely well as a “aftermath” sort of episode.

The little scene at the beginning that detailed the history of the Rose was surprisingly powerful . The music, the visuals.. they came together to form a genuinely haunting montage. The narrator’s question “What is the difference between a human and an Ant” is perfect, because it captures much of what is being shown here so well. The Ants have been repeatedly shown since the beginning of this arc to be vicious creatures who are able to bring about destruction and a loss of life on a monumental level, and to possess power that no human could possibly challenge. The existence of the Rose deconstructs the notion that the Ants are somehow more capable of bringing about greater havoc than humans. As the last episode demonstrated, it’s quite the opposite: humans are capable not only of equal destructive potential to the Ants, but greater than them as well. The humans are not somehow morally superior in this conflict. So indeed, “what is the difference between a human and an Ant?”

Gon continues his steady march down the path of darkness and corruption. I can barely recognize him anymore; he’s become so different since the early days of the series, which of course is the whole point of this. The fact that Gon is more than willing to use an innocent girl that has almost nothing to do with him as a hostage speaks of volume about his current state. It’s also in many ways a brilliant callback to the all the encounters he’d had with villains throughout his journey to find his dad and become a Hunter. It ties especially well with Gon’s interactions with the Phantom Troupe. At the time, they themselves took him hostage for their own selfish reasons, and Gon questioned them more than once on their willingness to commit such reprehensible acts. He showed similar disgust with the Bomber back in Greed Island. During all those times, there was nothing that Gon had experienced in his life that could help him explain the actions of these people. Now, ironically, Gon has become very much like them: cold, calculating, detached, pragmatic, etc. It doesn’t help that no one, not even Killua, is stopping Gon from going down the inevitable path to adulthood.

Killua’s cynical, chillingly logical mindset was brought to the audience’s attention in this episode, when he spoke of hostage exchange and the like as casually as if he were discussing the weather, and it’s no wonder: he’s an example of a child who was forced to grow up early, who was forced to go through what no one his age should have to go through. Killua lost his innocence a long time ago, and now Gon’s in the process of doing it.

I liked the juxtaposition of the Hunter team’s loyalty to Gon and the Royal Guards’ royalty to their King. Ironically, it is the Ants who are in a better light now: the person that they were loyal was trying in his own naiive way to bring world peace, while the Hunter team is following the orders of a frightening boy who’s taking hostages. On that note, I should mention how incredibly clever Togashi is for drawing multiple parallels between the King and Gon throughout this arc despite the fact that neither character has talked to the other even once.

That last part where they were searching for the King and broke out in tears of agony and despair when they discovered his body..it was moving, especially because of what a human gesture it was. No one can pretend that these Ants are emotionless monsters- at this point, they are more human than the actual humans themselves.

I would be saying RIP Meruem, but I’m not entirely convinced he’s dead. The Royal Guards seem to be up to something in the episode preview, and since we still have up to episode 135 for this arc, I’m going to wait a little longer and see what happens next. I’m probably wrong, but hey, Meruem is one of my favorite characters this arc and I’m hoping he’s still alive. RIP Netero though, one of the best old men in all of anime. You will be missed.

Also, yes Komugi is back, I missed her. Still as adorable as always.

Fuck this shit! Pitou could pretend to obey, get close enough to Gon, and decapitate him like how Kuroro knocked that mafia daughter out. Gon's senses might be sharp but he's not exerting his nen and I doubt he's fast enough to dodge such close range attack anyway. Use your fucking brain for a bit Pitou, no one said you have to dash and attack. Also, POKER FACE GOD DAMN IT!

As a matter of fact, fuck Komugi! If Pitou wasn't so concerned for her Gon would be dead by now. Fuck all this waiting, fuck Youpi for sparing the hunter team, fuck Pouf for listening to Pitou not to kill Gon, fuck Killua and Knuckle for not beating Gon senseless, and most important at all fuck you, narrator!
