| i dont get Pouf and Youpi lol their definition of "unconditional love" and expressing it is pretty ...weird. AND wtf? they are on the Queen level now? That makes zero sense... I hate this episode!! Netero's death was , well i won't say for nothing but I wont say it helped that much either): So sad, I hope some plot twist happens and Netero revives or something like actually" after your heart stops beating a very lethal bomb will blow up. This is called the _____ Rose.... and in a few moments your heart will start beating again." or something like that 0^0 |

This is called the _____ Rose.... and in a few moments your heart will start beating again." or something like that 0^0 1. First and foremost, the thing the RG and Queen have in common is the unconditional love for the King. They did not even care about here, and she did not have care about them not caring. Now, they were able to basically give life to something that was dead, somewhat similar to the Queen's reincarnating humans into ants (even if they may not be the same persons), so in that sense, they reached her level. |
| First 6-7 minutes of this episode were quite a wild ride... |

| Why did Meruem have to revive .. I mean .. that was the perfect end for him. |
 |
| The first part was great, it was nice to be able to have a bit of a laugh after how dark the series has been for awhile. Thinking about it, though, it's kind of creepy how.....deep their loyalty runs. If Meruem had wanted to completely eat them, I'm sure they would have let him. Then I thought about that this was effectively cannibalism.... just a weird and, imo, great sequence. Also, fuck YES, King Meruem is back bitches! To tell you the truth I was kind of surprised by that. Certain posters in previous episodes who had apparently read the manga made it seem as though that was it for him, so I had kind of resigned myself to his death. Now, there is a lot of interesting ways for the story to go. First of all, how the fuck do you stop Meruem after a bomb didn't work and your best fighter did barely any damage to him? Is Pouf going to be able to kill Komugi? What will happen if Meruem sees Komugi? Could this be the battle between Meruem's "human" and "ant" Side that Netero spoke of a few episodes ago? |

| First half was one of the weirdest things I've seen ever, but it was also hilarious at the same time so it worked out well. Sadly I know what happens next to the Mod Edit: Added spoiler tag |

In other words, they showed Meruem maternal love. I thought that was obvious :/they are on the Queen level now? That makes zero sense. |

Sadly I know what happens next to the King and the Royal Guards but I can't wait to see it happen , also slowly inching towards Gons fight which I can't wait for! I haven't spoiled anything whatsoever connected to the story, but I feel my comment might make some people feel uneasy, so I put spoiler tags |

Still all Togashi :D what does Naoko has to do with it anyway...as an author she never displayed any sort of whacked out sense of humor, eroticism nor 'fabulous' ever ever. I have a feeling Togashi is making fun of those cooking/food porn manga genre |

| Wut. Poor voice actors. At least they had fun with it though. The King is alive! Poor Netero sacrificed for nothing. He needs to see Komugi and regain his memories or else all of Mereum's character development would be for nothing. Pouf needs to gtfo. Hopefully they kill him with bankrupt or something else due to being weakened before he kills her. If they kill Komugi and Pitou realizes this, Gon is done for. Godspeed Killua next episode, can't wait. Will his speed match the king? Wish the manga readers would stop putting vague spoilers and taunting with their knowledge. |

| I don't know if it's because I already read the manga, but I think that this episode were less pornographic |
| Best shounen anime |

| Retarded first half of the episode... |
| Seeing the guards jealous of each other when Meruem describes how they taste got a good chuckle out of me |

| First half of the episode was pretty disturbing lol... Next episode should be good. |
 |
| Lol @ the reactions. I like how some people are trying to spoil stuff... |
 |
| Seriously this is a masterpiece lol |
| What. The. Fuck. Hisoka's was better though. |

| Well that was an exciting first half. Pouf for best character, again. Really wish they would speed up the pacing :S |
| damn that first half..it was so Fabulous i wasn't sure if i was supposed to be laughing but i did i'm both happy and sad the King is alive simply because i wanted to see more of him but Why is he stronger?! i feel with this memory lost hes just gonna go off on his own way and quit this whole ruling thing as crazy as that sounds |
 |
| ... I'm speechless. |
katsu044 said: i'm both happy and sad the King is alive simply because i wanted to see more of him but Why is he stronger?! His hatsu allows him to incorporate nen when he eats nen users. So basically, he's equal to early him + Pouf + Yupi |

| Finally it reaches this point. And LMFAO, the two guards being Divas who got their praise, was priceless, it was better than in the manga by all means. Those voice actors must have laughed their asses off an entire week they did that. |
 |
| I feel sorry for Netero, his sacrifice was in vain. But this makes things much more interesting. I loved the ending with their reactions to Meruems arrival. :D |
| It is started to get really ga...ugh unconditional love. It is kinda weird though the Kenpachi VA screamed like that... For a moment i think Zaraki Kenpachi on Youpi stead while he scream, it is funny. XD |
| meh I hated the first part, it was literally gay. |
| Well. The first 10 minutes or so of that episode managed to both be gut-bustingly hilarious and extremely disturbing. I haven’t laughed that hard while watching an anime episode in a very long time. In short, it was great, and it as well as the King’s rebirth was basically the entire focus of the episode. While the scene with Pouf and Youpi feeding the King was indeed comedy gold, it was also a very important moment for both Royal Guards and a fascinating look into their psychology. We’ve seen their undying loyalty and dedication to the King displayed throughout the arc (especially Pouf, the over-the-top behavior he showed here has been a part of his character since the episodes just before the Invasion began), and how they are always putting his interests first and always aiming to protect him. Obviously, they feel strongly towards the person they were born to protect. Seeing him so close to death brought out their deepest and most passionate feelings, which is why they were so ecstatic that they had managed to revive him and that more importantly (to them) the King had complimented them for their efforts. Now, at the end of the sequence where they are reviving him, we see flashes of various animals feeding their offspring, topped off by a mother breastfeeding a child. Basically, Youpi and Pouf think that their feelings towards the King are the feelings parents have for their children. Many animals have a natural, innate instinct to protect their young, and the Royal Guards were born with this instinct, which manifests itself as “unconditional love.” However, the imagery and phrases used during that particular scene are not consistent with expressions of maternal love. The moaning, the blushing, the repeated use of words such as “pleasure” and “bliss”….those all have connotations of sexual desire and pleasure. The Royal Guards are confused- they are associating their feelings for the King with the feelings parents have towards children, when that’s clearly not the case. This depth of feeling from creatures who are supposed to be simple animals is likely a result of human influence, the same influence which brought about their individuality and fractured social structure. There are possible rings of Freudian theory here (which wouldn’t be the first, as the “ego” has been referred to before explicitly); there are some possible vague references to the Oedipus complex in the Royal Guard’s behavior, considering its nature and their age, but it’s not too strong a similarity so I won't go too far down that train of thought. Still, it’s a momentous moment for the Royal Guards; they have achieved their ultimate purpose in life, protecting the King, and by nursing him back to health have essentially become like parents to him. They have reached the pinnacle of their established roles as Ants. Ironically, this probably would not have been possible without the interference of their human genes, highlighting again the good and bad of acquiring traits common to humanity. The way the King is restored quite literally resembles breastfeeding, and his actions and lines afterwards all emphasize his rebirth. The fact that he has almost no memories, that he’s stronger and healthier than ever before- the King literally resembles a newborn child, arguably as much as when he was born the first time. The biggest difference with this second birth is that the King has decided to be called by his real name- an indication that he’s retained his human qualities. This has interesting implications and makes the story even more unpredictable than it already was- there are so many ways events can progress from this point forward. I’m glad I was right about the King’s survival (as insane as the bombing was, if he had died it would have been rather anti-climactic), but at the same time it does make Netero’s sacrifice seem a bit worthless…unless Togashi decides to be hyper-realistic and make it so that the Ants actually suffered radiation poisoning, Netero’s efforts seem a bit wasted. It’s a minor point, though, I’m not too bothered by it. Looking forward to next week. Pouf better not kill Komugi- it’s about the only thing he could do that would probably make me actively dislike him. Or if he kills Killua. Or Knuckle. Or Melereon. Or….never mind. |

| royal guards being weird af but asides from that I cant wait for the king to fight the people still at the palace (if they even fight) as well as Gon and Pitous one on one fight |
| half the episode is chimera porn o.o |
 |
| I died laughing. |
| wow gay |
| Wasn't quite expecting the first half of the episode... Overall though I'm kinda happy that Meruem is still alive, just because he's a really interesting character. I'm curious to see how he'll react to returning to the palace. |
 |
| OMFG |

| Holy shit Meruem lives. I'm actually kind of glad that he is still alive. Felt it wasn't a proper way for a great villain like him to go like that without any closure. I don't see how they're going to beat him now though. Godspeed Killua next episode! |
 |
| Man, I want some of that love, imagine feeling that good :) I wonder, how would Pitou have reacted? :) |
