You really have to see it to believe it. The protagonists meet a leader who apparently spent, like, two years standing in one place and punching the air ten thousand times a day.
A mutant ant harnesses the power to whisk his opponents to a pocket dimension, and he uses it to force them to play tag with him. Others despise it with a burning passion. It makes up almost half the series, clocking in at 61 episodes. Making it that far into Hunter x Hunter requires a high tolerance for totally out-there plot elements, but Chimera Ant really tests that limit. I am saying this as someone who adores Hunter x Hunter , who wrote a 35,word fanfic for it, who cosplayed her favorite character, who bought a clock with the main characters on it.
Unfortunately, since I watched the series in quarantine, I never actually got a chance to undergo this sacred rite. But with the Chimera Ant arc finally added to Netflix, it is now my time. The main character, Gon, is a typical wide-eyed, big-hearted anime protagonist, whose one goal in life is to be a strong Hunter just like his father.
The arc kicks off when Gon and Killua encounter Kite, a Hunter who specializes in handling dangerous wildlife. Sure, the Queen Chimera Ant looks pretty much like a giant ant, and her first sets of offspring are bug-like. But these creatures are called Chimera Ants because they take on the hybrid appearance of whatever the Queen last ate. At first, she just devours regular animals, but then she discovers that humans make tasty treats — and after eating them, she produces powerful offspring that definitely look like DeviantArt fursonas.
Pretty soon, her children start becoming stronger and more powerful, and then also start hungering for human flesh. So they start hunting more and more people, destroying entire villages and killing humans in increasingly horrific ways, like gunning them dead with powerful streams of water, or probing their brains for information.

Im here watching The king fighting netero and like he sorta lost but won since he was still alive barely but Netero died sooo and like couple episode later, the cough blue blood?
I just came across this anime and its so good, and like i really love this anime and im glad I found it last week. Omg man, I felt like crying watching the end of Episode Wolfgang Grimmer Magnificent Steiner. He got radiation poisoning from the Rose bomb. Along with Pofu and Yupi as well. Netero fully well realized that Meruem would likely defeat him and he also probably had an inkling that Meruem would survive the initial blast. Netero knew he would lose but he thoroughly enjoyed going all out against an opponent - something he regrettably could not do before for at least a huge amount of time.
Meruem was the main antagonist of the Chimera Ant arc of the series which is considered to be one of the best story arcs in the entirety of anime and manga verse. As such, he's one of the most popular characters out there. Here are 10 things about Meruem that you should know as Hunter x Hunter fans. Updated on October 13th, by Claris Lam: This article has been update to correct outdated information and make other changes to bring it up to our current content guidelines.
The Chimera Ant arc took place late in Hunter x Hunter. This also meant that Meruem himself appeared quite late into the series.
In the manga, Meruem's silhouette was shown to readers in Chapter and his full debut came in Chapter of the story. In the anime, Meruem's silhouette appeared in Episode 87, while he made his full appearance in Episode The anime had much better pacing, which explained the early introduction.
Thanks to the anime being a faithful adaptation of the manga, there isn't much of a difference between the two mediums. Meruem didn't live long after being born. While he was out and about gathering his Royal Guards and setting out to create the world he wanted, Netero and the others who infiltrated NGL met him in battle. After Meruem finished his fight against Netero , he ended up getting poisoned and died subsequently. Surprisingly, Meruem was just 40 days old by the time of his death, which makes him one of the youngest characters to appear in the series, if not the youngest.
Despite being so young, Meruem was, undoubtedly, the strongest. Being the King of the Ants, Meruem was born with incredible Nen abilities and did not need to unlock the power to use them. His type of Nen was Specialization, which made him different from all the other types. Meruem's most powerful Nen ability was called Aura Synthesis and it worked by him devouring other Nen users.
Each time he ate them, their aura synthesized with his own and he became much stronger. Undoubtedly, this is one of Meruem's strongest abilities that we saw and is part of what made him so dangerous. Along with Aura Synthesis, Meruem had other powerful Nen abilities accessible to him as well.
