It's probably radiation or something like that from the rose bomb, since palm alluded to it.

I'm just curious why only the royal guard is affected by it so far, only the king was at the site of the explosion.

edit: or since gyro is being brought up heavily, perhaps he had something to do with the effects on the royal guard.


The guards were basically swimming in the radiation once they were looking for the king.

edit: They actually omitted a couple parts of gyro in the anime and i'm hoping they flesh it out in the later episodes. You could go the chapters 203-204 and see why he's such a badass if you want.

They all were there. I mean Youpi dove straight into the thing.



pfffttt i'm an idiot. I totally forgot they were all there in the aftermath with all the fumes and shit.
you got me :P

Loved how Palm was talking about how cruel they are being. Really hits in the feelz.


yeah I love this aspect of the chimera ant arc. Ultimately, their "animal" instincts were only really about survival, but what made them so dangerous and destructive was their human side. But they were no match in the end for actual humans when it comes to destroying things that affect their livelihood.

I lost this episode, like, I fell asleep one hour ago and woke up only at the end of the episode. Thanks Obama.
Welp, did they animate THIS? (It's not a spoiler, so you anime only-watchers can open it too)


Unfortunately, no, and I'm really disappointed that they didn't, but hopefully like the Rose's backstory, they'll show it at the beginning of next weeks' episode which means I'll love it even more due to anticipation.

OT: Well despite what I said above, I still loved the episode, we're reaching the conclusion of the arc now, prepare your tissues ladies and gentlemen.

RIP Youpi, I shall miss you.

Although I'm a bit concerned, we still have 7 chapters to adapt and only two episodes left of the arc, which means it should adapt 3 and a half chapters for each episode, but I don't want to rush the ending, I hope it plays out perfectly

Just this page or pages 12-13-14-15-16 ? This scene was so good.
They only animated page 12 and the explosion in page 16,unfortunately...that was one of my favorite scene.


Those scenes are epic.
perhaps until the next episode

When a nuke explodes, the radiation doesn't disappear right away. Same thing with the Rose.

So main antagonists of this arc die from radiation. That's an interesting turn of events. I guess 'ants' are easily affected by it.

Cool episode. Was surprised that Welfin challenged Youpi. It seems that guard and king are sick with something, maybe some toxic from the explosion? That is what it looks like they are hinting.

Amazing episode as usual. It looks like the guards are going down 1 by 1, and then it's the king's turn. There seems to be a lot of hope on Gon's side by now.

Errr guys are you sure it's radiation? What if King and Royal Guards are connected in the way that if one dies, the other weaken.. ? So, since Youpi died, a part of King died as well..

Ok maybe it's just as you suggested but i am just thinking of other reasons..

Well they definitely aren't ending it in the next two episodes at the pace they are going. At this rate looks like Episode 136.

Anyway, you got to love how Togashi turns shounen cliches on their head. This time its the "Enemy surviving an attack that should have killed them" cliche, by making the bomb kill them after all.

Did they show the missing Gyro scene from chapters 203/204?
Unless they do eventually, people are going to be convinced that Meruem is Gyro.
And Bisky is Gon's mother.


hurrhurrhurr
They didn't. Gyro's scene happened way back when Gon and Killua were still fighting Knuckle and Shoot. Gyro also had a small (2 panels) monologue about what he was going to do. I don't think Madhouse is ever going to animate it.

I'm surprised that Madhouse chose Palm to be the one who talks about the cruelty of humans.


Another awesome episode, but Palm and Ikalgo's convo had weird pacing. I think they were trying to make it really intense, so that viewers knew the impact of what they were foreshadowing... but it kinda failed (some pauses were just too long, imo).

honestly, it's the most likely, and it really fits in with the theme of the destructiveness of humanity. What could be a better way to end this arc than to avoid the usual shounen 'final battle' by ending the lives of the ants in such a underwhelming and depressing way? It's signature togashi.

I think Youpi died before the fight started against welfin .Welfins power still won't be enough to beat him i think

that would work out in welfin's favor.
youpi dies from radiation, welfin leaves, then once the king questions him he could tell him the truth, maybe even about komugi, but we'll see about that

So from reading some of the comments, I'm guessing the king will die by poison gas? If that's the case, then this will seal this arc as the worst arc in hxh. That's is if I'm right.

Nope, it is not poison gas, don't worry. It may be anti-climatic, but it is very logical, at least for me.

Yeah one of the reason this is one of my favorite shounen arcs is that it ends in a really unconventional way, Togashi's writing is really suited for seinen in my opinion :] Also you'll see the importance of how Mereum dies is central to the character developement of Mereum.

Great episode. I didn't think there was as much progress as i would have expected, since i expected the King to die before they end it in 135. So, i would like some hint on how he will be defeated. Yupi, the King and Pouf bleading... is this how they die? =) Looking forward to it. 4/5

Good episode, this is story telling at its core. This is how it should be, convey a message with your story and make sure it makes its point accross the entirety of the story. Humans are cruel creatures that stand at the top of the world. That's what we are and this arc explains it in a very beautifull but also sad way. Do we care about the ants we crush? No. Do we care about the millions of other animals we kill in order to survive? No. So why should the protagonists care about the king and the ants? Palm explained it very well and I loved how they showed Youpi in his death. He looked exactly like an insect you kill without caring about it.

Edit: Also, I guess this is why the ants will and are dying in such an anticlimactic way. They just die the way little insignificant ants should.

The cliche happened two episodes ago. But I like the idea of gas. It reminds me of pesticide.


Dunno if i could call it a regular "cliche". It was along with Gon's personality that don't give a damn if he dies all the time. Even Pitou felt it so that's why he/she was so scared when was healing Komugi. Togashi gave all the clues to the reader/viewer to anticipate his sacrifice from the very beginning of the entire series.

Well, the anime sure did do an incredible build-up for the upcoming episode. The scene's I was looking forward to sadly didn't show up in this episode.

Palm is cruel indeed. Even though she knows that the King doesn't have much time, she still deprives him of finally meeting Komugi.
