When everybody is still talking running and understanding the situation, shoot is already dying like a gangster, considering he's the most timid one among them all, he's definitely the mvp here

[@davantemadden8186]

My mans w the pipe is MVP and I’m not hearing otherwise remember he went into this at 34% he was awake for DAYS prior keeping them distracted and feeling out whatever info he could; his fight w Shia was supposed to be 2 on 1 but his friend bitched out and he still stayed he pinned shia alone for plenty of time and created MULTIPLE openings to take down the ants- one of which knuckle emotionally threw away, he lost the pipe and was STILL tryna get at it Shoot was a legend but my mans nen master snoop DEF left me speechless for a character that was only around half an arc

[@flickersense]

Every single character who invaded the palace was valuable and did their work. There is no "MVP". And to people saying that Knov got scared, he did his job by going alone into the palace full of chimera ants like the king, the royal guards and other lower ranked ones and placing his portals, so that the rest of the team had an entrance to enter from. He also came back to save Shoot and later to save Morel while the invasion was happening.

[@MicaW4VE]

@@flickersense just because every person is valuable doesn't mean there can't be an mvp. take MOBAS for example it takes a team of 5 to do their roles and get the win but at the end of the game there's still an MVP for both teams.

[@flickersense]

@@MicaW4VE I don't know what mobas is. But it doesn't matter, since there is no way to measure value of an individual. Without Knov there are no portals for the team to go through. Without Morel, Shoot and Knuckle, the 2 royal guards aren't going to get stopped from searching for the king. Without Netero, the royal guards and the king aren't going to get taken out by the bomb. Without Gon, somebody else has to defeat Pitou. Without Killua, there is no support for Knuckle when he fought against Youpi, and there is no support for Gon. I haven't even named all of the members. How do you measure what's going to happen if you take one of them out? You never know, since even a difference of somebody reacting or doing something a little bit differently has a chance of creating very drastic changes.

[@MicaW4VE]

@@flickersenseif you heard of league of legends that's a moba, it's a game where 2 teams of 5 fight to take out turrets that lead to the main base where you destroy the main objective and whoever does that first wins. and like I said before everyone has their part but if someone does their part and then some they can be referred to as the MVP, it's not about taking someone out of the equation. if everyone did their job as normal and gon was able to kill pitou and return to the fight and help elsewhere like say with youpi gon would be considered the MVP imo MVP is subjective most times but it truly comes down to who you think did the most work and went above and beyond or who had the hardest job and handled it the best.

[@doublehelix2167]

You don't realize it until seeing it here but pitou having to fall all the way to the ground and pouf having a freak out for a few seconds actually had massive impacts on how the whole plan worked out

[@daddy_1453]

Meruem alludes to this in general. As he's gained his memories he says something like "It was the series of events that lead to this particular outcome". He said it better though.

[@spacey9707]

it was all because of komugi 1. Pitou taken out of the battle bcs she needed to heal Komugi 2. Meruem gaining compassion, making him not striking Netero at the spot (they all would be dead since it triggers the rose bomb) 3. Pouf having a mental breakdown about The King and Komugi, he could join the battle very soon but nope

[@Critt_Ari]

@@spacey9707 komugi definitely was the mvp. She granted meruem humanities light side like mercy, sportsmanship etc. If the king didnt had such complex mechanisms, he would have crushed the extermination team right there. Her companionship eventually "weakened" the king. Which made Netero able to show him humanities dark side with the poor mans rose right after he thought he had won.

[@scinary7052]

@@Critt_Ari What I like most about the extermination team's plan is that none of it was relevant to killing Meruem. Netero being in proximity to Meruem was already checkmate. In fact. Knov could have killed Meruem when he finished his mission. Just portal a Rose into the castle. Functionally, the objective of the extermination team was just damage control. Minimize the collateral damage while Meruem is killed. They isolated Meruem so that the detonation wouldn't kill the 5 million brainwashed people. Of course, Netero did WANT to beat Meruem in the actual fight. And that's probably the the main reason they needed to separate Meruem from the guards. Otherwise, try to separate all 4 and then bing bong blast them. After Meruem's death via the bomb. The 3 royal guards would be next up, assumably once the bomb goes off they'd rush to the scene and be poisoned. Hopefully that kills them too. Perfect victory.

This video is so satisfying in how things connect so good. When Morel goes from Youpi's panel to Poof's. When Zeno's arrows strike exactly as the team attack. And when Gon and Netero look from a distance. What an incredible video, amazing job!

[@Dougurasufilm]

Thanks! It all basically lines up, but of course a lot of things tend to take longer than other things. For example when between Pitou's En engulfing the palace and Youpi destroying there stairs... there's A LOT more happening in Pitou's part than there is op Youpi's side (that's why it was wrong in version 1, I just didn't realize that the moment Pitou arrived back at the palace was the moment the stairs were destroyed). But in the end I think I really got there c:

Or people complaining that Netero takes a whole episode to slap Pitou away, but that's like 60seconds of screen time, 10 mins of the episode is Netero's backstory which in a generic Anime would be a 2+ episode long mini arc of flashbacks. They got so much clearly presented info in 4-5 episodes that they don't realise how short of a runtime that information was provided in. Narrator gives the animators an ability to pack more info density into the episode because instead of characters standing around and inner monologuing or saying shit out loud while the enemy just stands there and listens, we get all that info density with a backdrop of the actual action taking place in slow motion. In a normal anime this initial invasion would be like 15 episodes, with 30% of that being flashbacks to previous fights and 40% being side characters standing around and just screaming the narration out like they're Speedwagon. The way this was done here we get the fight and the exposition at the same time instead of, cut to protagonist saying a line -> cut to villain monologuing -> cut to side characters giving exposition -> cut to completely unrelated sub plot -> comic relief character does a thig -> back to protagonist charging up -> villain charging up etc. Then there's the complaining that there's too much narration and it's mostly unneeded or irrelevant. The narrator does 4 things, provides exposition for mechanics of the combat, provides exposition for character emotion(because it's absurd and even worse for pacing how people accept in anime that characters just say out loud what they feel all the time while time is frozen or ignored), fills in for character inner monologue so we can show other action instead of every character thought being presented as a freeze frame of the character having an inner dialogue, he highlights and clarifies character emotions in scenes where characters choose to stay silent. That last bit is also important, normally the character would have to show their emotion either by an overexaggerated pantomime or say out loud what they feel. With the narrator we can have the character still be active in the scene while their emotion is revealed, because that's what real people do, they feel things but they bottle them up to reveal them at a more appropriate time.

[@user-sl6gn1ss8p]

the narrator actually does FIVE things: he also drives me mad to the point of not being physically able to care about anything else he may be doing : )

[@TheArtInterviews]

This really highlights the complexity of the whole event of the palace invasion. Those were some intence 3 and a half minutes (that's what she said)

[@Dougurasufilm]

Oh yeah if this arc can be called anything it’s intricately planned :ooo

[@urielgloire]

2:47 I love the transition from Neferpitou to Meruem!

[@Gab-xz1rc]

This is the best HxH video ever, thanks for your work!!

[@LoverofChildren]

This was honestly so well done. Great job.

[@leonline4931]

This is actually perfection. It’s a great idea, carried out perfectly, shows how much had really happened in just a few minutes. The ending point was the moment the invasion was no longer an invasion, just a battle to the death (can you also do the war part like you did this this one please?). Heck even the video quality is great. Use of the opening song to portray the credits was a underused trick, making it not boring as it’s everywhere. The audio is paced perfectly and the smooth editing is one of the best I’ve seen in years. 10/10 (But seriously please do the battle part like this, it would be legendary, but a lot longer, and then maybe even the build up, before Netero died, *or even the entire series!* Okay I was kidding about the series part. But a Palm version would be nice please? Also I might repost this comment.)

[@leonline4931]

Please?

[@leonline4931]

No seriously please

[@leonline4931]

PLEASE GODDAMNIT, I NEED IT TO SMILE AGAIN

[@leonline4931]

Fine don’t do it

[@leonline4931]

EHHH, REVERSE PHYCOLOGY WON’T WORK

[@Kiluei]

HxH is a gem. I genuinely haven't enjoyed much shows since then. Even live action shows from the US with big budgets and experienced writing staffs. HxH hit something within me. It's such a unique show and Togashi's way of storytelling is a way that just fully resonates with me. His ideas and execution of it are a marvel.

[@flamingswordofdoomtherap-vv6pq]

i love this video so much thank you for putting it together!

[@BubblegumTime163]

kudos for putting in the ending, it really made the video lol

[@YuGiBrohhh]

The sound design and editing in this video are perfection. Just finished this arc for the 3rd time and I'll keep coming back ❤

[@Dougurasufilm]

Thank you :D :D I really tried to make that work and not sound aweful XD

[@tonycohan1317]

This is genuinely one of the best things I've ever seen. Just goes to show how much preparation was put I to killing the king

[@Dougurasufilm]

Thank you! If you want, you can check out my other video about Gungi. Especially if you want to see how much thought Togashi put into that :ooo

[@violetviruss]

this really puts into perspective how absolutely chaotic this battle was. awesome job

[@juicepress2454]

2:15 i like this scene, everyone’s having a hard time except pouf just dancing

[@rickjamesia]

Toriyama: I'm great at extending short action sequences over long periods of time. Togashi: Hold my Dragon Quest.

[@きさち-l7v]

素晴らしい動画編集ですね！

[@BarbokVA]

Love how the video is exactly how long the narrator tries to pretend it is haha

[@anirudhamalraj7836]

This goddamn legend he did it again. Hope this one reaches a million views too

[@Firefight_]

This is one of my favorite videos on the internet.

[@lagsaur]

So that's what happens when a D&D fight happens in real time.

[@petermanalang4185]

I cant imagine how long it took to make this amazing vid

[@Dougurasufilm]

@@petermanalang4185 a while, but it was an incredibly fun puzzle!

[@HarryAyA]

That made me feel all the emotions from episode 111 to 136 condensed into three minutes. Thought my heart would explode.

[@botanbutton]

Glad you added the title in Japanese for the JP fans to find this! I'm sure they will definitely love it!

[@eighthlegofthephantomtroup1842]

This actually shows Togashi sensei genius as a writer, and why the narrator is needed for the arc. Hunter, imo would best be taken in, in novel format, except it isn't a novel and so there's no way to show everything happening at the same time because manga and anime are visual mediums.

[@patricklewis9787]

Please dont call him Togashi sensei that’s kinda cringe

[@Inkk_]

they did a amazing job in the show covering everything happening

[@Dopeamiine]

I felt bad for Shoot his battle was a losing battle from the start and he knew it once he saw Youpi but he fought his heart out.

[@Yvanne]

I honestly wonder if we’ll ever get something like this again in HXH, considering the way the manga is going. The closest thing to this I could see happening is something in the Dark Continent arc when shit hits the fan... but that’s unlikely

[@Whail2dots]

"What will you do if you only have 3:53 minutes left?"

[@xoTalim]

This is awesomeeee!! I kept seeing people recommending this video in comment sections of other videos so I'm glad I finally gave it a watch.

[@emmaj5807]

I love the way they did the palace invasion, and it was so cool to see it in real time!

[@noorasrte6068]

Damn, CA arc is crazy! Thank you for doing this, I am still mindblown with the fact that all those happened in a single night. Like, damn, a wrong movement at minisecond will affect the whole plan. This entire arc is just on another level, so breathtaking!

[@peach6812]

これが10秒くらいなのほんとやべえ

[@nomadames9538]

Pouf just having his dramatic climax in the middle of that chaos.. 🤣🤣 Makes it all the more funny knowing what other characters were doing at that time.

[@SlightlyShoobie]

I love how so much is going on with battles, information exchanges, and stand off conversations. Then there's Pouf... standing alone, hoping Komugi might be dead, then having an existential crisis, before divising plans behind his kings back. Just beautiful 👌

[@martin8401]

This was posted to reddit today with a link to your video so i came to say - holy cow man this is incredible. Thank you so much for creating this. It's amazing to see it happen in real time lined up so perfectly which now gives us a deeper understanding of exactly what was happening in the true time frame. Absolutely phenomenal work. Thank you!!

[@Dougurasufilm]

Thanks Martin :D and yeah I saw the reddit post XD love it when people start discussing what the liked and didn't like from the Chimera Ant arc :b
