Started with the anime, planning to read the manga very soon (on the condition that I put aside my hatred for Gon Freecss). HxH is really something else. Never felt such love and hatred in 148 episodes of anime. I was devastated by Komugi and Meruem's fate. It was like I lost my love and best friend with Neferpitou... You simply do not seem like being the same person after watching HxH.

Here is someone who is bit late to the party, but is one of the people who claim that Gon Freecss is a monster. The Chimera Ants and humans were at war. War crimes were committed from both sides. One thing that changed, however, was the way Chimera Ants like Pitou and Meruem viewed humanity. Initially, humans were viewed like nothing more than food, cattle. This is exactly the way humans see other animals. When humans do this everything is fine, but when other creatures do this to humans they are pure evil. Incoming: Pitou. At first she was hostile towards humans, but later on she started to show compassion and empathy. Humans were the Chimara Ants' enemies or prey (depending on how you perceive this), so Pitou was not inherently wrong for killing threats like Pokkle or Kite. Kite, who was far from innocent himself at least got reborn. Pitou is a very selfless character. Her ultimate act of kindness and selflessness is sacrificing herself for her love (for the King). What made this even more tragic: she never got to know the King's true name (Meruem). Pitou is loyal to Meruem to a fault. Pitou showed compassion and empathy towards her enemy: Gon. Pitou was remorseful about her actions, she literally begged Gon to let her save Komugi. Pitou was the innocent child here. Her actions earlier on were based on the Cimera Ants' preconceptions about humans. Do we as humans treat other animals any better than the Chimera Ants treated humans? No, I do not think so. When we move on to Gon's fight against Pitou, I really feel disgusted. The way Neferpitou died in such cruel and painful way made me so sad and upset that I could not stop crying. Even now I get emotional while typing this. Pitou was already criticallly injured after one tremendous kick in her stomach, so he just could have stopped there. No, what he did instead was hitting and hitting a defenseless and already broken Pitou. I could not bear to watch this, I got extremely upset and heartbroken. Because of the aforementioned reasons in your video, I never liked Gon. Hypocritical, selfish, impulsive, acting without thinking and an idiot who often puts his friends into dangerous predicaments. After the Chimera Ant Arc my feelings changed into hate. Hatred for him, because of what he did to Pitou. Hatred, because the whole Chimara Ant Arc was just about Gon spiraling into madness and becoming a monster. It was Pitou who turned out to be good, pure hearted. Gon completely shocked me as he became an evil, vile monster. For me, Gon is irredeemable for what he did to Neferpitou. I wish that he died, not Pitou. You might completely disagree with me on this, but it is just my point of view. I truly love Pitou. I love Pitou wholeheartedly. I just cannot understand the cruelty committed against her by Gon. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Great video

Gon is pure. Good hunters are liked by animals, that's most likely implying a good heart. What gon did was reasonable because someone who he looks up to, cares about, and is one of the main reason he wanted to become a hunter was killed in front of him, by a person who only had pure malice. Keep in mind that this is gon's first time feeling a loss and it's a person who he cares about (his hero basically), he was angry with himself because he couldn't do anything when they first met pitou, and he blames himself for this, and he was very frustrated about that. He was also angry at pitou because she changed, back then gon saw him as pure malice, a monster, but now, she showed human traits, she was caring for someone. Gon didn't understand this, that's why he was yelling at pitou, he was confused and frustrated that how can a monster who showed nothing but malice when they first met, now felt like a human, another factor to why he was completely tweaking out. Then he proceeded to threaten komugi not because he was a monster but because he was not thinking straight because of his anger. And then after all of this he SNAPS, fully consumed by rage, he didn't think anymore and he was fully set to kill pitou and he will stop at none to achieve that goal, he was not even worrying about the future consequences, just pure rage (a bad trait). If you've been really angry irl you'll know this, you can't think clearly and you'll often regret some of the actions that you did while you were angry. That's what the chimera ant arc is about. The show has been building gon to be pure, kind and good hearted, but the chimera ant arc showed us that even the goodest of hearts can have a bad trait. And on the opposite side, meruem who was born evil and had an evil heart can have a good trait. This is one of the best parallels in animanga in my opinion.

You mentioned god so I'm curious which religion r u bro

is this guy ok bro? its been almost a year

gon is a sweet boy:D

Killua is the only character ( amount my favorites ) that I love without shipping myself with.

Don't know coldest old man but Yamamoto is the hottest

I think this might be my favorite One Piece analysis. I've watched it 3x. The willingness to pursue your dreams with violent tenacity, to the point of death, and the ability to accept death and violently rebel against it is such a cool concept. I think you said it in a much more articulate way that I have tried to in my own analyses. This sort of unspoken understanding of the captain and his subbordinate and this concept is also just such a dramatic (in a good way) way to put all of this. I think if you are a young man who has at any point dared to dream, dared to self actualize and become your greatest self, pursuing your dreams with that alacritous fire that sets your heart ablaze, Zoro and Luffy, and this video illuminate and contextualize a lot of those otherwise unexpressed ambitions.

W analysis

Netero is a top 3 anime character of mine he puts the G in O.G.

Sickle cell is still trash

The existence of Master Roshi makes this objectively wrong

Extremely well-written. Bravo.

palm before the invasion of the castle, was crap honestly lmao, the only downside

the kishimoto glazing is insane to me bro basically made it a competition with himself to ruin every single one of his villains by the end of their arc not a single naruto villain has a good conclusion besides maybe zabuza

Kurapika is even scarier than killua. I don’t think people even realize how insane that actually is. In the fight against uvogin he was like the face of fear itself. His capacity to act with ice cold objectivity while undergoing heated emotions is d@mn near psychopathic.

I am very convinced that Togashi had studied the Bible I see alot references in the Bible and small detail in his writing in HunterXHunter. The fact that Judas was mentioned in York new city confirmed it

This made me cry, Killua has overcome so much...

phwoar. your analysis of Meruem is incredible. This really dives deeply into his mind like I've never seen before. Honestly, genius video. Absolutely love your perspective of good as 'truth' and how HxH blurs the lines of good and evil- and how Mereum deeply questions what is 'worth'? What gives others meaning?

This video made me realise how much I love Hxh and its community😭 it’s literally stands above anything by a mile.

Netero my love😞😞‼️

Brother thank you for this video. You sound like you have the "logoc" of Kurapika himself. Another thing people dont realise is that it makes real world sence that Gon would become very close to Kite very quickly as Kite saved his life 3 times and is closley related to his father. Also they endured many dangerous situations together so essentially the where brithers in arms.

ITS PRONOUNCED HUNTER HUNTER 🙏

drop more vids bro

One of the things i love most about this series is how game like it's ark system is. Very clear but still so well merged.😊

Meteor has all the signs of being a cliche “elder” sensei typecast character but he breaks that mold in every possible way. One of my favorite characters ever created

Don’t disrespect Chrollo aka One of the Goats! Don’t lump him in with the likes of Pain, Eren, Itachi, Sasuke because they were poorly written characters. Sensui > Pain Lelouch > Eren Takasugi > Itachi Hiei, Kurapika, Killua > Sasuke (rip-off bootleg)

i just wish mereum got to open a milk bar and read the paper every day while komugi taught young kids how to play gungi.

finally someone who knows psychology CORRECTLY and can eventually right explain what was happening in the anime on a different level.

Seriously liked Meruem more then Netero during their fight, One was more Human than the other and controdicturie has it, that the Ant was more Human

I find meruem and gon to be two sides of the same coin In my opinion gon wouldve ended up like jean as meruem was planned to become a typical ant king however gons nuturing from a young age changed him and made him more "carring" but he is still selfish and flawed in the same way jean is. The way issac netero is. As meruem himself is. But this ant had no such anchor to good he was driven by strength and instinctual logic however through his time with komogi and learning the art of enjoying the game, the battle, the fight for your life it built his character as it was his further path towards reaching a true king and while gon has no drive that could match that level of intensity. I would say his resolve to find jean or to avenge kite would rival or even surpass meruem as he was so young he never even understood what was important till he was in deaths door where a simple ant is saved brought back from the brink by his last two gaurds as he hears his mother say his name long after her death. Only then did he realize what was important. Only then did he realize his true purpose and infact surpass gon on his journy to self actualization that we all go through every day but gon will catch up soon as he was already close to a revolation last arc but he was still young in body and mind not meruem he was young only in body but in mind? He was wise he only lacked experience also like gon in a way they truly are similar a human and an ant the ant just burned to ash faster but just as bright perhaps if given a chance meruem could even of been similar to gon but he was an ant no the ant king and he could not be allowed to live

i want more character like mereum.

chrolo: general villain as all stories, mereum: a unique one

everytime komugi and meruem talked you can see its like an adult trying to understand a child, but in their last conversation this dynamic flipped, meruem calling for komugi again and again just like a child reassuring his parent is there when hes about to fall asleep

You either got to get a quieter mouse or edit it out

He is exactly like Cell without the coolness factor and with a simpness factor added.

Bro just wait till dressrosa

Wait till you get to the Paramount war

I got the theme of dreams before this video but then it gave me a whole new understanding of one piece … you referenced panels I completely forgot about

Love this video

Death in One Piece is a very interesting concept Great video!!!!

I don’t think Netero has an unwavering sense of justice at all. It’s extremely fluid and is honestly likely informed by his own whims and curiosity, not black and white notions of morality. It’s the same reason he kept Pariston around: because his schemes were fun. This doesn’t even factor in that Pariston’s schemes can and likely have cost people their lives and absolutely will continue to in the future I.e the 5000 Chimera Ant eggs he has.

You’re incredibly insightful and succinct. This channel is gonna blow I know it!

Meruem is more likely the Sensui of HxH.

I'm not even Upset Netero lost the battle. He was very old and Meruem is kinda broken, and was born to be that strong thanks to his mom consuming countless ppl. Meruem grew on me. Wish he could have lasted longer.

the holy grail of character writing, MERUEM !! All hail the King
