----------------------------------------
Pretty intense match. The king struggling definitely was something of a sight to see. I liked Komugi's strategy where she came it up from years ago.

About damn time Cheetu vs, Morel began though. I liked Morel's strategy tbh.

I always loved this little fight and the clever use of cloud powers. The King also finally found a worthy opponent, the matches are portrayed in a very atmospheric way.

However, I wish we'd progress a bit faster. These sections were a bit stretched in manga form as well and I had hoped they would tighten them a bit.

That was an awesome episode, but I'm starting to hate Cheetu. In the manga he was somehow ok but now with that voice I can't stand him. Anyhow, I enjoyed the fight a lot and everything was well made.

Morel is 2smart4me
In all seriousness though, I love Morel's way of thinking. He can keep calm in unknown circumstances and thinks of the most rational way to outwit his opponent.

It was pretty funny when Cheetu created his claw/bow hyping it as a large power boost only to realize how useless it is when he really thinks about it in comparison to his speed

I was afraid Cheetu's derpface was going to be omitted, but it wasn't! *whew*

By the way, the next episode might be only another 2 chapters, based on the upcoming episode titles...yup.
Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better

Good episode.

Morel totally owned Cheetu XD Loved his strategy. It shows how much of a veteran he is. Never wasting a second ^^

The explanation of Knov's ability was pretty nice too. What a convenient ability that it hehe.

Hagya's ability of borrowing powers to whoever owes him is pretty fitting for his personality. No wonder he wants to make the king owe him XD

And as usual. Loved Komugi vs Meruem. The way Meruem listened to her was a nice first step for his development. And at the end on his throne, his character development has commenced :D...He's enjoying it. Loving Komugi a lot too.

Dat PV!! Lots of stuff to happen it seems :P

A bit less action this episode. It doesn't matter for me though, love to see morel's way of thinking.

I'm was so scared that the king would kill the girl, I don't think he actually will do it.

Still no update about killua :(..

Honestly was afraid how they would do the narration in this arc. But it seems nicely done; quick and compact. Worried later on however as this arc is heavy with narration especially toward the 2nd half of the arc.

Hide and seek is too overpowered lol.

When the King placed the 5 - 5 - 1 lieutenant general he seemed like Light Yagami ;).

That fight between Morel and Cheetu wasa well thought out.

Pretty nice episode, bur Leol's power is probably going to be annoying.

Good episode. Shaiapouf is helping the ants to create their hatsu and this is becoming a big problem for the hunters. Cheetu is such a fool, they shouldnt even waste time on him lmao. I missing Killua like crazy now, hope he returns soon.

Last few seconds of the preview for next week got me hyped. Gungi girl covered in blood, wonder what will happen :P

As always an epic episode. Combine an episode of Op,naruto,bleach and fairy fail together and 1 episode of HxH still will be 10 times more enjoyable.

Loved Morel's fight and Knov's ability. Komugi is just awesome. The atmosphere in this episode was brilliant.

What makes you think most of them are Specialists?
Hina is probably one (the manga never mentioned it, I think) as she is a nen exorcist. Leol is a Specialist too.
But then there aren't too many others. Neferpitou and (probably) Meruem too. But they ARE special anyway.

I noticed it too and I was very confused. I got trolled. Great episode as usual. Gungi is oddly fun to watch. The King seems to enjoy playing against this girl, don't know what this will lead too but it will obviously be important. Love that ED <3.

It's just that we have seen few ants using their hatsu and there are already 4 Specialists. But I'm just guessing since I don't follow the manga.

Hina is actually a Enhancer she just happens to be one of the rare ones people suited to Nen Removel.

Pitou, Leol and Meruem are the only Specialists.

I'm getting tired of Cheetu. Hope he dies soon.
The game was so intense. Even though I don't know the rules. :P
I'm starting to like the Gungi girl. And I love seeing the King's reactions.
Leol is a fool.

Without spoiling, they play a rather big role towards this arc's climax (the scenes they appear in are very intense actually), and they do have character development. One of them even was important enough that MH made him appear earlier in the anime already.
(the reason this isn't a spoiler is because every scene with Chimera Ants is intense in the climax.)

Just wait and watch the anime. "Greatness awaits" :P


I loved how the camera was focused on the King's tail when Komugi was talking about her "child".

Essentially the King gathers 50 million of the "lifestock" in the palace and proceeds to eat them. The occasional Nen user power will get transferred to him so that he becomes even more poweful, and he gets to enjoy a nice tasty meal as he prepares for world domination. Or something like that.

actually i heard that Specialist shouldn't be good at any of the categories at all since specialist is like disconnected from the rest. The only reason why it's placed under conjurer is because conjurers are the most likely applicants to become specialists later on or something.
Emperor Time is really the only skill that dwells on the 5 categories.

Some of the other specialists we've met are also straight up useless in combat. The fortune teller chick and even Pakunoda who uses regular pistols and is probably good with them but still not nearly enough for a real nen fight.

Specialization is more of a vague mix between the other categories rather than something separate from them. It's not to say that a specialists' power may not somehow incorporate enhancement into their hatsu - it's just that, on paper, it's far from being an affinity of theirs, and theoretically could never use it as well as a natural enhancer of the same skill. Notice how a specialist usually incorporates some degree of manipulation or conjuration into their hatsu? Seeing that they're the adjacent types, I don't really see it as happenstance.

Also, keep in mind, that Kurapika's Emperor Time doesn't allow him to use enhancement as well as an enhancer; just that he can use it at the maximum aptitude that a conjurer is able to (which is still quite meaningful).

I feel I underestimated the length of this arc, I was thinking of ~40 episodes but it looks like it will be more like 50-60. The current pace is slow in terms of chapter count but that might be because all those chapters are dense in content. I like how they take the time to focus on Komugi VS King though, it was a good decision.
