| Incredible episode. I'm so glad they've moved away from the attempt to kid-ize Hunter x Hunter. The show wouldn't be nearly the same. I am rather disappointed with how feminine they're drawing Pitou, as he's supposed to be androgynous, but they definitely have the personality down. Bring on the other guards! I want to say I can't wait for next week, but at the same time... there hasn't been enough time yet. ;-; |

| You know, I don't really give a shit what Pitou is; I'm masturbating to it and that's that. FrostToaster said: xieghart said: Envyus said: Neferpitou is also the most powerful character seen so far. She is much stronger then both Chrollo and Hisoka. 1v1 Pitou should win. If both Chrollo and Hisoka combined, the royal guard is in trouble. I don't really know about that. One of my favorite parts of HxH is that, since the introduction of Nen, battles are more circumstantial and aren't necessarily decided by "power levels." This is quite clearly evidenced by both Hisoka's fight in Heaven's arena and Gon's victory against the bomber in Greed Island. Hisoka, being a magician of the highest order, would probably distract Pitou with yarn or something while he weaves some manner of trap. He's a sharp guy. Completely off topic: Can Chimera ants have romantic feelings for one another? I'm probably grasping at straws here, but it seemed like Hina wanted Hagya to perpetuate her "King of the Jungle" view of him. Maybe she likes him. At any rate, if HBO licensed this show we'd definitely see Chimera ants fucking left and right. |

At any rate, if HBO licensed this show we'd definitely see Chimera ants fucking left and right. Togashi usually doesn't portray romance in his series and so far in Hunter x Hunter we haven't seen much romance. However it's entirely possible that Chimera Ants can exhibit romance, the same way Colt shows loyalty, and Rammot shows fear and anger. Hina kind of reminded me of Lady Macbeth when she was telling Hagya what he should be doing.. |

Pusswookie said: Ye, I love that about HxH. It is such a good show, can't they send an episode a day allready :( (I even re-watched it when I arrived at 79, after a break so I had 4~ episodes I could watch within a week) Akanezora said: Agree. |

| That was one intense episode. Neferpitou is scary af O__O And "she" is actually a guy? What?? Hahaha |
| I know that "hot" topic of conversation is pitou's gender, but I have to say that the best of the episode was pokkle's seiyuu. Damn, Really a good work. |

| Episode was kinda slow but the Neferpitou(I don't see how that's male) parts were pretty bad ass. Especially liked when she showed Rammot the difference between them just by appearing. He was annoying since I saw him but he had been nearly unbearable since he discovered nen lol. |
| PROGRESSION!!! I liked it... But I guess I didn't really buy it, this episode. Neferpitou's scary ass and I feel sorry for the anime hunter guy (can't remember his name, fail). I can't help but wonder what's going to happen next episode. We learn that Neferpitou's a Specialist which I'm excited about since I don't think I've seen any Specialist Nen abilities so far. Awesome. |
| i'm sorry to say that , but pukkle and ponzu deserved to die .. they came to a secluded place with such a pathetic power , calling them selves beast hunter's and they got hunted by beast's .. how ironic |
| I wanted to believe that Pitou is really female but it's more likely that Pitou is gender ambigous. |

If he hadn't screwed up the hunter exam in the end, pukkle would probably have failed the exam and that means he would never would have learned Nen and teamed up with ponzu to go to NGL. (And now we know that pukkle was the one who taught the ants about nen..) And gon should totally be blamed for ponzu's death. if gon hand't stolen ponzu's tag during the 4th stage of the hunter exam, ponzu would have probably passed the hunter exam and learnt about nen so she would have protected herself better. you can't blame killua for that ,maybe if pukkle trained more he might live i mean his nen couldn't even defeat that spider-ant enemy which are weak ! he knows a lot about nen way more than he could use .. seriously you are going to unknown place facing unknowing enemy if gon didn't steal the tag , she won't wake up from the gas until the exam end OR having enough points to pass "Bourbon had his tag defended by snakes" and if she went to the next year hunter exam she will be defeated by killua .. so if gon stole the tag or not the result are the same anyway i didn't really cared that much about their death , because as i said they came to unknown secluded place with such pathetic power |

| Nerferpitou is as creepy as ever. The anime managed to catch his 'atmosphere' pretty well. I can't wait for more of this arc to be animated. |

| Been meaning to ask this but why is Pitou so strong? Did the queen simply consume a lot a humans to make her more than the amount she used to make a squadron leader? They mentioned that special humans had the value of 1000 normal humans IIRC, so basically the queen ate more than 1000+ humans and a cat just to make Pitou? I say 1000+ because they she's definitely stronger than Pokkle already and they were using Pokkle as the example for being worth 1000 humans. I also recall Pokkle's group before the attack mention about other hunters already being wiped out, although it doesn't seem like the ants learned anything about nen from them so either they weren't Hunter hunters or village hunters... |

The royal guard likely has better traitsfrom the animals and humans the Queen ate. She also took more time to produce them.. if that means anything The Ants didn't know they could use Nen until Rammot showed signs of using it, so the Queen probably just ate the other hunters. Which might also explain why the Royal Guards are so strong. |
| Pitou's entrance sends shivers down my spine. Ranmont submitting to Pitou. But OMG when Pokkle was probed and now they know how use Nen. Goodbye Pokkle T__T That scene was terrifying and worst things are coming. |

Pokkle wasn't exceptionally strong as a nen user; in fact, he's just an average nen user. Hell, most hunters aren't even that well off. As to why Pitou was born strong, nobody knows. Togashi himself hasn't really explained why they were born that strong. Also, the amount of people needed that you listed would probably be an understatement. Stuff below is a bit of a spoiler. |
| Like many around here, I wonder how Neferpitou was able to be 'born' with exceptional Nen if the Queen has not eaten a single nen user. Is it explained later? Maybe we can draw parallels to real ants here, though it would be strange, meaning that Togashi made his research despite his well known "habits", haha. You see, some species of ants have castes which recently have been proved to be caused by genetic components rather than environmental ones. You could say that Neferpitou has a "strong degree" of genetic caste determination. And the question regarding Neferpitou's sex depends on whether there's sexual reproduction among chimera ants... which doesn't seem to be the case, meaning EVERY ANT IS FEMALE, LOL. |

Well there is the case that the quenn might have eaten some nen users but even if that not the case there is a reason for that power. Obviously the queen uses the best of the food to give birth to royal guards and the King. So being born with amazing power gives the advantage of almost instantly knowing how to use nen. For example is like someone learning through hard practice to play perfectly musical instruments and then some other person immediately starts playing them just by seeing them cause it is that gifted by birth(there actually real example of some people doing this). |

Well I think you are really forgeting that ANTS can lift their weight X 100 . Meaning that if Pitou is 60 Kg she can lift an object of 6000 Kg Meaning 6 tons,meaning she is Naturally born with "POWER",which also means that if she trains she can become even more powerful + If you combine that power with the knowledge and the Power of all the Humans the Queen Ate to Give Birth to her,that EXPLAINS everything Hope you understand |

Meaning that if Pitou is 60 Kg she can lift an object of 6000 Kg That theory isn't exactly valid here since first other ants with more weight than her are scared shitless of her and second a big reason ants can lift such weight compared to their mass is because of their small size that allows them to have less struggle with gravity. If an ant was as big as a human it wouldn't be able to lift 100 times it's weight cause gravity is a motherfucker. That's why big animals and humans aren't making such miracles as incests do compared to size and mass. |

They cut this out. http://images.wikia.com/hunterx/images/6/67/Pokkle_getting_butchered.jpg That happened right after Pitou said to feed him to the queen. It's also very clear in the manga that Pitou ripped the top of his head off. Though, seriously, if you couldn't tell he was royally screwed just by the anime then you did a terrible job of reading the atmosphere. |
