Satan-sama said: TheDodo said: This was not stated in the manga/anime but Pitou was probably the only ant capable of healing the King. Her En would have helped finding/killing komugi also. I have a feeling that if she survived, the end would have been a lot different. So Pitou's feeling of relief after she got smashed her head by Gon was a big mistake. If she'd stayed alive and Gon took all of his anger out on the king, i think she would have been able to heal him again.. Pitou was the real deal after all. (1+ for Gon) Pitou wouldn't have been able to do anything. Again in the episode they say the poison is constantly evolving and creating new poison. Nothing suggest that pitou can heal disease, we just saw her heal physical injuries. Pitou would of just been infected as well. |
bleachjoj said: Satan-sama said: Really ? however strong that poison was, i don't think someone with an immense amount of aura like the king will die from it. I mean aura has nothing to do with poison. The King is still an a bug not an all powerful being. Remember Uvo was really strong but could died if that Shadow Beast just used poison in his fangs. You can't compare a mere human like Uvo with Meruem, also he looks so healthy and unharmed unlike Pouf. |

Alright the following is pure speculation: I think Pitou was capable of a lot more. I am not sure you would perform a surgery without knowing anything about a body's chemistry. Also I think she was the one who created the ant version of Palm. There are a couple of references about Pitou's experiments in the manga that suggest her bio-chemistry skills. Another thing is even if she couldn't heal the King, nothing tells us she would get infected, Pouf and Yupi were the only ones infected besides the King so far because there went within the explosion's area. She could have taken out the remaining hunters and declare herself Queen of the ants. |

| The inner monologue in this episode was over 9000! It was a ok episode though. Are they really going to wrap up this arc in just one episode? Since I've heard people saying ant arc is confirmed to end in episode 135. |

| Fantastic art direction this week Especially the shots when Welfin was going crazy when he realized the King was going to eat him Also was happy they finally used the OST Elegy of the Dynast |
HybridMBL said: Fantastic art direction this week Especially the shots when Welfin was going crazy when he realized the King was going to eat him Also was happy they finally used the OST Elegy of the Dynast I was wondering when they were going to use that track as well and it fits so well with the scene. OT: For those of you who asked why they couldn't have just planted the bomb in the palace, well there's your answer, the poison |
| "Now, let us drink. Let us drink. Drink to the human race. In every age, there will be good humans and bad humans. Human life is too long to devote to reproduction, yet too short to devote to learning, in the helix of time. Perhaps that is why humans succumb to desire and seek release. Despite the fact that life is complete with the sun, the land and poetry." Supreme Leader Diego(Real) (Hunter x Hunter 2011) |
| Stop calling it poison, people. It's understandable that the author changed the name, but we all know it's radiation and I hope everybody knows its effects. Also, the "I won't die until I'm dead" thing is a reference of some sort? If it is, can anyone explain it to me? Next week it'll be beautiful. |

Yeah, even I'm very curious how Meruem will see Komugi now after he now remembers her ( It's so sweet how much he values her; I really love the atmosphere it showed them playing Gungi with such beautiful flowers view: it represent the love he sees in her: SO CUTE, I REALLY SHIP MERUEM X KOMUGI TOGETHER SO MUCH: my favorite couple from HxH). I can't wait for the next episode, I can't believe the next one is the finale of the arc ( something is telling me that next one will be very emotional to watch; I better get some tissue ready. :( |

| what an interesting and EPIC episode ... (may be the next one will be more... ) oh man... can't wait for next episode hope tomorrow is Wednesday Lol.. sweetangie said: Silent-Knight said: I really wanted madhouse to end with meruem to meet komugi but oh well next weekfor sure next week is the finale of this arc :*( Such a good arc!!

| That was a nice episode, that ending was so epic. Gave me chills when Welfin said "Komugi" and even more when Meruem responds saying for welfin go look for Gyro and that he hopes he can live as a human. |

edroxel said: SaSa-Zoldyck said: I'm probably the only one who thinks like this but I dislike how Meruem doesn't give a shit about his guards. Youpi died when he was trying to save Meruem's ass yet he sees Youpi's corpse and is like ''what ever''. Honestly they deserved a better leader You are definitely right when u said that u are the only one thinking like than. If he was to find of his guards he'll look more like Gon, and thus will loose that personality his has we all (expect sasa-zoldyck) love First of all, learn to quote. Secondly, what the hell are you trying to say? Spelling mistakes? That's fine. But having to fix your grammar/insert words just so it would make sense is something else. Most people like Meruem because of how he has grown as a character a.k.a. character development. Plenty of people here think Meruem has a shitty personality and I thought the same thing when he was born. Of course, I grew to like him as he developed but Sasa brings up a good point that he's pretty shitty towards his guards. And I think you'll have a rather different opinion of him next episode given what he says. But at the end, I hope you realize that "this too, was the king." |
| So, hiding underground is futile aside from buying some time. And lol @preview |
| Keep moving forward |
| Poor Pouf :( that loyal bastard deserves better. Welfin aging 100 years and having his life flash before his eyes lol worthy :) Meruem <3 Wow, I agree, he really seems cold to his guards but he his caring part didn't really exist until now so he didn't care about bonding with them. |
 |
| Poor Welfin lol, felt bad for him when he was talking to the king. |
 |
| Welfins last line to the Mereum he grew balls it feels like next week will be the last episode but i might be wrong |
 |
StefanHere said: Welfins last line to the Mereum he grew balls it feels like next week will be the last episode but i might be wrong It's confirm that the ant arc will end on episode 135. It seems like it will be rushed..... I guess we'll have to see how it ends, because I've a few questions that are bugging me about this arc. |
| I really loved how they started this episode. Showing how cruel and greedy humans are was a really nice touch to add. Another episode dedicated to the King and Pouf <3 OST Help. Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at around 11:43 of this episode, and goes to around 13:08? |

Youpi died when he was trying to save Meruem's ass yet he sees Youpi's corpse and is like ''what ever''. Honestly they deserved a better leader. I'd like to chime in on this and say yeah you're right but it's not a bad thing. And he's always been like that. He's nearly killed royal guards for relatively minor missteps. For him to suddenly care for them would be weird. For Meruem it's more appropriate that he expects their loyalty and yes take it for granted. It's a given and if they die oh well. He's never been protective of any living thing except Komugi. Not that he's a bad leader at all he just doesn't care about being friendly with people but he has grown to display mercy. And he did look like he was nearly about to kill Welfin when he first encountered him. So it wasn't like he shrugged at his death so much as the situation was developing faster than he could or bother to waste time getting upset by it. Yeah, I agree with this as well. Meruem isn't THAT big of a shithead. Yes, they could have had a better and more compassionate leader but then we wouldn't have the character that is Meruem. And as you've said, he did show mercy to Youpi when he was being honest. He did honor their little "competition" so it's safe to say that Meruem is rather merciful. But he's also a hardass that rules with an iron fist. He actually reminds me of that fat king from the first few chapters of Berserk, just better done as a character. |
| Excellent episode! I loved the way they animated the "humanity" scene. Also, that preview haha! |
| Usually when a person says this it's meant in a good way, because something was so awesome... not so much this time. But, here goes. I honestly cannot put my thoughts into words about this one. I admit Meruem has had good moral development. Growing from an evil ant bent on world domination who killed indiscriminately both ants and humans into a creature who wishes to retain some semblance of his humanity because of love for a human. This has been done well, better than I've seen in some other anime. However, it hasn't changed my opinion of the character. And this is where I have trouble putting my thoughts into words here. I hate the character. I haven't been all that impressed by this arc in general, but I really just cannot stand the King and think that such excellent character development has been wasted on him. It's hard to explain why I hate him so much, both his appearance and completely unnecessary amounts of power remind me of Cell from DBZ. I hate villains that are so stupid powerful like him, Cell, and Aizen where the final defeat of them just feels cheap and anti-climatic. Cell, no one could beat him. Not Goku, even after Cell self destructs and blows up King Kai's planet. Not Vegeta, Trunks, or even Gohan. Then we get some asspull where the one armed, near death, Gohan is aided by his dead father and beats him with a kamehameha. Aizen, no one could beat him. The absolute strongest characters in the entire series get beat by him over and over. Ichigo uses the most powerful attack possible, his final getsuga tenshou, and still doesn't kill him. Then we get some asspull that Urahara secretly hid a seal within his earlier kido attacks that would not activate until he took massive damage or some crap like that. Meruem has what could have been an epic fight with Netero, ruined FOR ME by the narration, somehow survives the most powerful nuke ever invented, is revived by consuming his guards, but yet is going to die anyway because that bomb that could not kill him at point blank range actually creates some kind poison that evolves and spreads and cannot be stopped. So maybe I managed to put it into words after all, cause that about sums it up. These are just my thoughts and opinions though, so I know most of you will disagree. I'm just glad this arc is finally ending. |
