at first I thought that poison might be kind of a disappointing way to end the chimera ants, but with all the build-up and this episode.. it was just a perfect ending. especially that scene with the king and komugi

dafuq is wrong with Palm crying her eyeballs out and shit.. part ant my ass. there are others like her who openly "betrayed" their so-called King.
Palm wasn't crying because she betrayed Meruem, she cryed because she's in denial of what's in front of her, that such a heartless monster, or that's what they thought, is having feelings for a human and is on the verge of bowing to her and beg her for telling him Komugi's whereabouts, and when she said she's part ant, she means she realizes how much of a big deal for the ants meruem is (the king) and she wouldn't allow a king to kneel for her lowly self for something like that. She didn't see it coming, was surprised by it, and reacted to it by crying and shouting.

It's the same of what Gon did when he faced Pitou and saw she's caring for Komugi. (but Gon's denial ended with rage because of Kite's death) It's the same as what Netero and Zeno felt when they saw Meruem caring for Komugi. (they accepted that fact fast and showed respect for Meruem) Every one of those characters felt denial at first when they saw what was happening, but they reacted in different ways.

;-; All those feels...I mean again after the manga i get the second blow from the anime.
I must say i'm more than impressed with the animation of this episode even better than 131(?)(Pitou vs Gon).

I painted my teary face with a disguised smile[COLOR=#ff3333] and pretended it was a cry out of joy.[/COLOR]

I kinda revauled Komugi honestly, Meruem has always been a great character but for some reasons Komugi never "clicked" on me, until now. I guess who is disappointed in this arc ending is because they were expecting a bigger and final fight with Gon, when I can guess Togashi never meant to do a final fight but instead to focus on the psychological conflict within Meruem and his royal guards, so it actually makes sense.

Oh God, that was absolutely gorgeous O_O Absolutely amazing!! Mereum's character development was just wow just ughhh It was so perfect how they decided to omit the opening and ending songs and show what was happening around the world first around the ant invasion, so they could leave the watchers drowning in tears with Komugi and Meruem's ending scene.... Gahhhh I cried like a babyy that was absolutely gorgeous, gughhh I love HunterxHunter, best story everrrrr!!! The preview though... hahhahha I was balling my eyes out and then the super cheerful preview song came up... Gotta admit it really kind of ruined the mood, but i think it was a good decision to not omit it, so as to remind the viewers the story was still continuing, and to get us pumped up for moreee. Also, the preview scene where they show Killua's expression.... omg I can't wait for the next episode... Soo scared for Gon and Killua gahhhhhh so manyy emotionssssss TTATT Ughhhhhhh I still can't get over this episode GARGHHHH FREAKIN MASTERPIECEE

Wow. Incredible ending to this arc. The ending after the credits of just them quietly playing gunji, with Meruem interjecting "Are you there" often, was brilliant. It really captured the essence of the simple companionship and love into death, as well as implied that somewhere, they are still playing into eternity.

damn amazing analysis and an yet another amazing ep by madhouse
michiru3050 said:


, did anybody notice kokoriko(a gungi technique) means King itself? This technique try to win the game by making King piece isolate. But komugi tells him this technique is Shiro(road to death) a while ago ( ep 104). Isolated king must die. But she shows him a new tactics to save king in ep 135. It means "king doesn't have to die". In reality, king didin't be killed by Netero's nuke attack.
But king counterattacked her and shows that isolated king must die after all ( by poison). Komugi finds a new counterattack and said "I'll go with you". King is not alone anymore. Meruem tells her he can't win even once(He couldn't beat kokoriko). It means Kokoriko is not shiro anymore. She saved the isolated king.


The black screen at the end has a couple meanings
The dying king has lost even his sight.
His mother named him Meruemu as "Light shining on everything". It's stated that "His en shined into the palace as if it's sunshine" and "He manipulated light particles to search Palm in a house" a while ago. He got a god-like light power at that moment. But black pages suggests that he doesn't have any light now. This is a view that Komugi was seeing from the beginning. She couldn't see any light. To her, he was just Meruem.

After all, those pages show us that he lost everything but gained what he trully wanted.
He didn't need any soldiers, palaces, countries, power, strength, even his sight(as Komugi). He just wanted to play Gungi with Komugi.

This is the same to her too. She had nothing besides Gungi. Nobody loved her and couldn't play Gungi as well as she did. She was lonely Gungi King(Queen?). But she gained Meruem.
That's why she cryed when he counterattacked her new kokoriko. She once needed to create and kill tactics on Gungi by herself. But she gained the perfect opponent and can create tactics with him(I guess to create tactics suggests to create a baby as she said kokoriko is her baby.)

The one "Light shines on everything" loved (and was loved by) was a blind girl. What a story!

They started a new(the last) game in darkness.
"1-5-1 king".
"9-5-1 king".
Then it was stopped. These two king pieces don't go anywhere anymore. Two kings (King of living things and Gungi King) are together forever.

Didn't really like this ending, Very anti-climactic ending to the arc.

Also, how the hell did Pouf die from poison? He has the ability to divide himself down to the cellular level..

I don't know maybe it's because the poison keeps making new poison until the one infected dies? :O

It's more of a feeling that their existence is necessary for each other, they completed each other, a "light that shines above all" and a "blind girl". I wouldn't call it love, but if I didn't, what other word is there?

Mereum has shit taste when it comes to women. Pitou is much better woman than boring komugi. Komugi did look a little better in this episode, at least she didn't have snot coming from out her nose.

Lol she didn't have access to tissues?? I'm kidding, give her a break she's blind and in my opinion she suits the king better than Pitou simply because Pitou is the king's loyal royal guard so they could never have such a relationship. It started only because the king couldn't beat komugi at gungi, if she had lost near the beginning he probably would've killed her like he did with all the other people he played but she kept winning so in my opinion she deserved the king's love (especially since she never really had anyone else's love). It just goes to show the king didn't go for looks. Just my opinion anyway.

Wow! I don't think I can pull myself together well enough to say just how well done this episode was. I shed a few tears for Meruem...and Komugi too. I loved Palm in this episode as well.

Did Pouf really die in the lamest way possible? I was sure Pouf was going to go out in a blaze of gunfire, but he was poisoned to death. Seriously?
