| Here it comes. BA Killua next ep! |
Roundohavor said: Exactly. I don't know why SnK is rated R while it doesn't have the half of the violence of the episode 93 of HxH..HXH has gotten pretty violent for a 13+ PG rating, don't you think ? cut fingers, guts eating, slaughtered humans, lots of blood, |

| I hope the king die a brutal death. How can he kill those hot dancers. |
| Can't wait for the Killua moments in next episode :C |
| LOL. Gon and Palm's date. Also, the King is such a badass. "Humans without intelligence or talent end up in positions of power due to bloodline or connections, that's how the human world works". King:  Damn so true, and this is more deep that I thought. Also. Good laugh part: Now, can't really wait to see Killua in action. |
 |
| DARE DA YO > indeed.Damn, it's like completely different person xD shes cute though.Also, im so scared Gon will say something inappropriate soon, or give some ridiculous gift to her. I don't think Killua have much chances to win.Even though he might have powered up through fights, now that chimera ant guy can use nen...but oh well, we will see. Whenever i hear about Kite, im getting depressed and imagining that last scene from episode 85.Just...sadface. 2 weeks? like hell i can wait for that long. Akanezora said: Well, he is right though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Also. Good laugh part: |

He'll have more depth later on in the arc, no worries. He's definitely an interesting character. Thought this episode was good. Madhouse has been doing a great job with pacing lately, the episodes just flow by. Excited for the Killua fight next episode, sad we gotta wait two weeks -.- |

The dude is still a newborn. He'll need more experiences before he can develop a more complex personality. |

| GON.......IS..........A............PLAYER!! Awesome episode, can't wait for next week 5/5. |
 |
| This episode had some really good pacing, covered about 3 chapters and a few pages. Really liked what they did with that. Favorite moments were definitely the first 5 minutes or so when Meruem was just killing people left and right. Plus we got to see his Nen ability. The more rare humans he eats, the stronger he gets. Pretty fitting for an "almighty organism". |
| Decent episode this week. Really wondering if anyone figured out which chapter Killua was reading when the date with Palm first started. Kinda looks like Kite on the page he's open to, but the pants aren't black and it looks like Shoot might be under the subtitles. I can't place the panel. EDIT: I flipped through volumes 18-28 and didn't see anything that matched, so unless it's from the end of the ants, I'm at a loss. Watch, Togashi slipped in a panel of something he's still working on and we'll see it next time we get a batch of chapters.  |

tkfeng said: Meruem makes a valid point to those dancer girls though. As humans, many don't bat an eyelash in killing animals for food. Chimera ants killing humans just seems brutal to us because it's our own species. The chimera ants are intelligent creatures and humans are the livestock to the ants. Not really. Humans "don't bat an eyelash" in eating animals for food. I think many people find it more difficult to actually kill the animal themselves. Even less actually take pleasure in doing so. And even less than that spend their every waking moment thinking about killing animals. Chimera ants are monsters, plain and simple. On another topic, man, Palm cleans up nicely. |

On another topic, man, Palm cleans up nicely. Most people dont have to kill an animal to eat it, there some people who do that work so you can buy the animal already dead. That the reason why most people have hard time to kill an animal cuz they dont have to kill it to feed their hunger. But in a world that you cant buy meat and you have to kill an animal to get the pleasure of eating meat, theoretically killing the animal will give you pleasure too, in psychology its "conditioning" the brain will connect the pleasure of eating with the act of killing the animal. So there no quite big difference between human kind and those "monsters" in that think. Anyways another great episode, i cant wait for Killua vs rammot (after two weeks -.-) |

| Killua+Gon dynamic this episode ahahaha I love it. I love everything about this show, I love it love it love it. As much as I already know what's going to happen, I read this arc when it was still being published so my memory gets hazy... anyway, I yelled "Rammot, nooooo". Goddam you, Rammot. By the way, no episode next week?? What? Why? But next weekend is my birthday. ): sighs |

I totally disagree with you. Most people in first world countries find it difficult to kill an animal. If it was necessary for us though we would have to do it on a regular basis and we wouldn´t find it hard to kill animals. Besides that. We humans kill animals put them into supermarkets and throw away a loooot of the food that is left over. It´s not exactly a very nice thing to do. Humankind is very much so in the same situation as the chimera ants are. The hunter association tried to kill the queen as soon as they heard about her giving birth to the king. The chimera ants are not the "evil" guys in this. Both sides just fight for being the dominant species. |
| Gon is a real charmer, lol. Also this arc is getting more and more disturbing. |

| @confused_Imakuni and Mirati I have no doubt that people who need to kill for food or a living can do so easily enough. That wasn't really my point. My point is exactly what I said: "I think many people find it more difficult to actually kill the animal themselves. Even less actually take pleasure in doing so. And even less than that spend their every waking moment thinking about killing animals." And I have no doubt there are ants who are inherently good like Colt. But generally speaking, the Chimera ants are evil. The saying that one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch is true. But doesn't it work in reverse? One (or a few) good apples don't 'unspoil' the bunch. Most Chimera ants, so far, dedicate all their time to killing or thinking about killing humans. I've hunted animals for sport. So from personal experience, I know that the only thing that helps me pull the trigger is adrenaline. But even with my adrenaline pumping, I'm capable of making rationale choices and showing mercy, regret or empathy. Generally speaking, Chimera ants display none of the aforementioned. And they do not stop with killing just enough to for sustenance. Or like in my case, one kill per year. It would be different if Chimera ants were simply apathetic towards humans; if they killed for food or sport, enjoyed the moment, and thought nothing more of it after that. But it's the combination of enjoying the kill, going beyond sustenance, possessing memories from when they were human, and spending every waking moment thinking about killing other humans that make them monsters to me. It's not the same as when humans kill animals. The king even kills his own and Pitou displayed apathy towards her own kind. If not evil, at the very least, they are more like beasts than humans. And maybe that's the point. @GuiltyKing I also have no doubt that the ants will have some character development. However, being an anime-only viewer, I can only speak for the present. Right now, with only a few exceptions, the Chimera ants are monsters that kill for pleasure. |

| Gon FTW! Was surprised to find out that Palm is actually pretty hot. Killua needs to learn from Gon. |

EVERY_SINGLE_DAY said: I really liked how the King felt about unintelligent and talentless people being in power positions just because of bloodline. ' It can only be the work of imbeciles ' I extremely feel the same. On that we all have to admit his got a point. the world is truly run by imbeciles. "Why does that scum claim to be a king?" "In the human world is a common phenomenon, humans without talent or intelligence gain positions of power due to connections and bloodline." "What defiance of all logic. In the hands of an incompetent, power brings nothing but ruin. This can only be the work of imbeciles" |

By the way, no episode next week?? What? Why? But next weekend is my birthday. ): sighs Yeah I haven't reread this part of the manga for a long while and this episode bring back the memories of how much I enjoyed Chimera Ant Arc because of Gon/Killua parts like this. There're some character revelation here: Killua always thought he's the more worldly of the two and got owned by Gon's casual admission of his experience with women. Yet instead of envy, Killua's only reaction was that he only wanted to be with Gon (aww...). Killua is just too emotionally attached to Gon to think otherwise (while not necessarily the other way around? and that could only bring heartaches to the poor boy). Killua kept on justifying his stalking being protective of Gon, but really it's more like that Gon was 'his' to protect. Even to the extend of justifying civilians being collateral damage. Anyway Gon the deceptively pure boy is the most dangerous kind...ladies would know what I'm talking about ;) Pedo creepy or not, Palm's attraction to Gon's pure, assertive and pampering ways is easy to understand. XD |
| I can't wait to see Killua kick some major butt in this arc. Palm's 180 change in both appearance and attitude is glorious XD. |
 |
| Ahahaha. The date finally happened! Palm is too hot! |

rikuhod said: I gotta say this but most of the viewers justify Chimera Ants too much :P If they had to eat humans to survive i could understand it, but we know that they kill humans only for their enjoyment. They assume that they are supperior race so they can do whatever they please. Although we can't be justified for killing cattle(as we don't need meat to survive) we still are better than them. Through the years of evolution we have developed both mentally but also spiritually and we still evolve. We become wiser but also more compassionate. Because of that pp started to get equal rights and we started to feel compassionate to animals too. Because of that we protect endangered species, build natonal parks, almost none of us goes hunting anymore, more people become vegeterians. Most of us start getting respect for all living things. Although we still have some sins of the past like with cattle, this is because we had followed this way for too long and it can't be changed so fast, but it is still one of our past sins we haven't got rid of yet. Chimera Ants except Colt, believe only in strength they don't care about any species besides them. They don't even respect other members of their own kind. They only fear stronger. Also if they have memories of when they where still human they should know it too, but they propably throw it away because they have found too much fun in killing and being ants. Even when King killed dancing girls, he followed this path human kill cattle they are disgusting so i can kill them. He tried to justified himself that he is of better kind, but we know what is true :P You present some very good points and I definitely agree with some of them. However, I think you're forgetting the fact that Chimera Ants have remnants of their prior selves so the way they think (as being superior to other species), is a notion that was acquired due their individual mentalities as humans. Also, even if humans have become more compassionate such as no longer hunting and protecting endangered species, most people will still not hesitate to kill a bug such as an ant. Especially when referring to preserving endangered species, people only care about the cute, furry ones. If a huge bug extinction was to happen, I believe many people would not even care one bit. |
| Great episode, Gon is gonna get some of that booty. |
rikuhod said: you are right that we are not perfect and most of us don't feel compassionate to all animals and almost nobody respects insects, but there is no justification for what chimera ants are doing and we can't compare them with humans because it is obvious that there is nothing that can justify them (well it is very probable humans in HxH world are more corrupted than real humans) well i think they assume themselves as superior race only because they are stronger than humans, not because of their past memories. Propably what is the worst about them is that most of them don't respect members of their own kind. Even monsters like the Troupe or Bomber respected their friends and the Ants don't know feelings like that. Well I guess it is just that almost all villains in HxH are meant for hating (maybe except Troupe). As it is kinda reverse shounen it must presents that when you are a kid going on adventure (like in Pokemon) you need to know that world can be dangerous and you rly can die. There are people that please of killing or torturing. Characters in other shows are told about this all the time(yet they always survive) in HxH we can rly feel it. Sometimes HxH I think iis like Madoka magica for Mahou Shoujo or Evangelion for Mecha. Darker reverse ver of it's kind Of course, nothing can justify what they're doing. Just like nothing actually justifies what some people do in real life. I see, we interpreted it in different ways. It's quite possible that is the case as that is a reasonable explanation for why the King disregards all the soldiers as something akin to scum. However, I think even their past memories can be used as a way to explain them thinking they're the superior race. For example, humans, for the most part, treat those who are in the same "status" (either economic, social, etc.) as themselves equally. But once you look toward someone of, for example, high economic status, there are individuals that look down at those below them, and might even consider people like the homeless, scum. I partially agree. Eventually, I feel like we'll be able to slightly sympathize with the King, but I'm not sure. In fact, I feel that HxH makes villains more likable than most other series (like what you said about the Troupe). I definitely agree with the rest of what you're saying. HxH is truly different from the majority of shounens. Which is why there can be varying kinds of interpretations on certain elements. |

| I wanna see an Ant interrupt the date, and Palm go crazy and cut them. Incidentally I think Yuu Kobayashi would have made a good VA for her. But Inoue is nice too. Also, I really wasn't executing Gon to be such a player. Clueless shonen hero has extensive experience with older women, well played. HxH continues to surprise me. |
