⁠@@soultheconfusing9563I think what he meant was that all of the learning procedures of nen and the flexibility of it is over. In the YNC arc, they still were teaching us the nen capabilities like contracts, and even taught us a new nen usage that’s like a sensory technique. And what being a specialist can offer, and how people like Zeno and Silva can manipulate their nen to create crazy moves that I didn’t think were possible. So finally we’re done with learning the expectations of the human norms. Now we are reaching uncharted territory with what seems to be extraterrestrial beings.

[@termindterguta3514]

The thing about Ants wanting to eat humans instead of living them to the queen is that the humans are delicious for them. That ant was questioning himself about eating gyro cuz he was like "gyro was such a thing that it's a waste not to eat him". Yes, the queen could but the individualism in them are making them process those thoughts

[@rexibhazoboa7097]

My take was that it wasnt part of Gyro's plan to be eaten by the queen and turned. Hence the ant felt that he should've just done Gyro a mercy and eaten him himself. There is a chance Gyro had a different plan that his soldiers didn't know or he makes a new one after he's born again.

[@floatingtigerscarriff6664]

Gyro in the manga is explained as someone who breaks off to the queens control because of his strong mind and will focused on his goal and the other ants did not notice that he was gone, it was just convenient that now he is officialy non-human becoming an Ant as he always saw himself not being human. In his mind, Destiny still favored him.

Just remember the Queen can absorb characteristics of the individuals she eats and them pass it on to the other generation.

No one is more cruel than humans is definitely a theme in this anime lol

It's definitely more complex that that.(SPOILER ALERT): If the message was simply "Humans are horrible" ,then the series wouldn't make it a point to show how much Meruem grew and evolded emotionally and ethically once he started connecting with his human side.

[@kc_h7h]

​@@Gaboxxy96its more about the nuance. We view the ants as evil cause they eat humans but in reality they're just adhering to their biological code as animals. That doesn't make them evil. But at the same time they're part human. So it creates more depth in their actions cause they're self conscious now. Does them being part human now make their actions evil? A foreshadow of this was teased in the yorknew arc when gon asked nobunaga "you feel sorrow for your friends but yet you kill other people like it's nothing". Gon perceives them as evil cause they have emotions and humanity themselves but don't care to show kindness to others. So in a way humans are evil asf. Other then animals, we understand and relate to how other feel. But yet we still kill or hurt or bully or cheat and so many things

[@LuisSierra42]

@@Gaboxxy96 Correct. For me, this arc is also making a political commentary on autocratic governments as NGL is basically North Korea and even the ants need to obey the king at all cost, just like in a dictatorship

[@kirathekillernote2173]

That is a pretty surface level conclusion to draw. Humans are horrible to each other not by inherent nature, but because large societies, when clash, lead to INHUMAN warfare. Industrial warfare is inhuman, but effective. It allows mass slaughter without even moving a muscle. Humans are worse than ants (at that stage) means humans have developed capacity for Industrial warfare. It's not inherent to humans, so ants would have it as well given enough time. TL;DR: The line is more commentary of mankind's ability for Industrialised warfare, not some hidden evil inherent in humans not present in other animals

[@kc_h7h]

@@kirathekillernote2173 except that you're wrong. Humans are the most "cruel" when they're closer to their nature. What do you think happens when society collapses? Through out the years humans became more and more civilized and compassionate (even though we still do bad things). Like couple hundred years ago we executed people for stealing and watched them die for entertainment. Hundreds of years before that humans basically fought war every year cause it was normal. Dying and killing was even encouraged as a way of life that's good. And thousands of years ago we lived in caves and men basically r*ped women whenever they wanted too with no one stopping them except the man she was with. Like how further we go back in history how more cruel humanity seems. Like it's were departing from our animalistic ways as we progress

NOT A SPOILER in the manga before the Gyro story they show an ant and said that is Gyro, he had all his memories and went his own way as soon as he was "reborn" idk why did they not show that in the anime

[@smashbrandiscootch719]

Because ultimately, it doesn't matter to the story.

[@guyhuy]

​@@smashbrandiscootch719so why put it in the manga😭

[@Green-3c34y65vrbu]

@@guyhuy because the manga isn't over yet, duh. it's gonna matter in the future.

[@DisProfundis]

They didn't put it in the anime because in order to make the earlier NGL part longer, they shifted the backstory part here. It was originally placed after Meruem's birth. But since they couldn't include the Gyro Gon meeting tease here, they just left it completely.

I remember seeing *that* scene for the first time all I could say was a very quiet "ah". 👁️👄👁️

We lost Ponzu, bye, may the force be with you. Yes, girls looks like we aren't in Kansas anymore.

キメラアント編はほんとに面白いからこれからの2人のリアクション楽しみ😊♡

[@glory_m99]

Gyro's story is more relevant than most people think, but it's an only manga thing

[@user-pg7ff9mj4j]

Here we go man all those who have waited for this epic episode…. Love chimera ant arc

[@sklud]

You should give Succession a chance. One of the best show last couple of years

[@Green-3c34y65vrbu]

i was 9 years old when I watched Hunter x Hunter, lol. that was 2013.

[@DisProfundis]

Damn. I was 11, in 2015. And funny the first arc I watched was CA since that was airing at that time before they aired the complete series.

[@CalpolMeister]

36:34 already found the message of the arc, well done

[@DianLima]

I wonder how the ant arc would be if killua didn't snnobed the arrow guy in the last part of the exam arc. I guess he would be the one that lose and the, here in the ants arc, Kaito would have more time before they discover about nen.

[@drillmachine7]

ohhh... THIS episode 😢😢😢

[@bt5601]

I forgot that the beginning of the Chimera Ant arc was really creepy

[@chamin6753]

This is going to get a lot darker.

Never underestimate humanity's capacity for cruelty

Fun fact: Reina is Spanish for queen.
