I've watched that final scene probably a hundred times by now, and yet it still never fails to give me absolute chills each and every time. "You don't understand anything... about humanity's infinite potential for evolution (malice)!" The fact that the original Manga line included both words, implying that humanity's evolution is intrinsically linked to their malice, as it is our endless malice that has allowed us to evolve beyond any other creature on Earth and keeps us on top despite other predators being physically superior, and in turn, we use our evolution (science & knowledge) to create the most efficient and effective methods to kill and eradicate threats, feeding into our malice. Humanity always wins because there is no low humanity isn't willing to sink to in order to survive.

Indeed, both words matter.

It especially makes sense for Japan, given how they were defeated by malicious nuclear technology in WW2.

Fr. There is no way you can predict this. This whole arc is peak shounens (and peak anime in general) and such a breath of fresh air compared to many many shounens which more than not follow a very similar formula. Hxh has always been special in the way that it follows the "shounens formula" but with togashi's own personal twist. He imbues the common tropes with fleshed out characters and a meaningful storyline that will avert your expectations and turn your upside down. Really love it. And I love that "the power of friendship" just isn't a thing here. Yes they are incredibly good friendships here. But their friendships don't magically grant them superpowers.

It's mind-blowing when you think about Netero's Zero hand ability, how he created it : since it requires his entire aura he can only use it one time as his ultimate attack before he dies, so his opponent would be the last and he already knew that he would be grateful and only feel "indiscriminate love" towards whoever that person will be, so he used his heart t-shirt as a symbol of that mindset, prepared to die and give it his all... but it wasn't enough to kill Meruem...and the bomb was designed to be activated when his heart dies, like he's giving up on love, gratitude has 'failed', and now only the result of humanity's malice can handle it and Netero is giving up, accepting that he's going to hell after that...damn... I'm sure he hated it when Meruem came out alright bc then he knew there was no other choice... I believe if Zero hand was enough there would be a way to remove the bomb and he would die the normal way

In this arc, we see multiple perspectives on what humanity is to different people. There are some like Knuckles who see the concept of humanity as the embodiment of every kind and empathic emotion out there. Their philosophy means that matter form someone takes, so long as they are sentient, they'll have a heart and thus are human. However, Netero's view is the flip of that. While he accepts that humans can be kind to an illogical point, the same can be said for their malice. In fact, I think Netero is of the opinion that humanity is malice. He used the rose, a weapon so lethal that could lead to mass extinction, just to kill Meruem. It's illogical to kill yourself just to kill your enemy, but that is what humans are, and thats what they do. Humanity's malice supercedes its self-preservation. That difference between humans and the ants.

So glad to see you girls love this ep. the genuine "oh come on" feeling you girls had as Netero kept doing the most inhumane feats of strenght imaginable only to be b eaten by the king was really cute, it's rare to see you girls frustrated by a fight ^^ , since the days of i think Season 3 of AOT ? Netero is legit such a great character, he's on screen for so little and yet he represents so much of humankind, both the humanity and devotion (his true peak of power being born of gratitude for martial arts and his ability to empathize with the king) and the worst (he's best friend with an assasin and planned to win by using the worst weapon one could bring). He's legit peak badass old man anime trope.

the other translation of Netero is "you don't have any idea of the infinite potential for the human malice", due to the bomb.

Yea, the moment they implanted the bomb in Netero, he had no choice but to go through with this mission. Could you imagine if his heart stopped one day from him being old? There goes an entire city and plenty of dead citizens.

I remember that in the manga there is a double meaning/transalation in the last words of netero about the human potential, it was about the evil/evolution of mankind and I think it has a total sense... specially using the miniature rose and all the context about that is used in dictatorships and is a low budget bomb, but still totally destructive and poisonous

What's interesting about this battle is that even though both of them boasted final-boss level strength, and several episodes were devoted to explaining just how strong Netero and Meruem were, it was the irony that in the end it was the scientific power of modern humans that prevailed.

"the bomb was both low budget and compact. it was fairly common between dictatorships" this line hits so heavy considering how much meruem was underestimating humans and basically considering them as mere livestock, but a common low budget nuke was all it took to kill him. most of humanity dont even know of his existence by now. thats what netero meant when he said "dont underestimate humans, meruem" because we may not be individually superior, but our collective efforts toward the evolution of our race is what makes us the most dominant species on earth.

I'm glad you finally made it to this episode! Just personally, "A prayer comes from the heart" is probably my favorite line and moment in any piece of media I've consumed. "You know nothing of humanity’s infinite potential for malice" is second. I love how HxH portrays humanity and our world, despite not being set in the real world. Togashi really created something special.

This anime is extremely good, it simply ends this episode by giving a history lesson. his scene as Netero saying that yes, on paper, ants are superior in every way. But humans have survived for literally thousands of years by beating animals that could easily gore, tear or crush us. He is saying that humans, over thousands of years of existence, have developed this ultra-refined survival instinct and that although Meruem is all-powerful, he is naive in understanding the lengths humans will go to in order to survive. He is a Lord over 100 years old who knows humanity, he knows what humans are capable of if necessary, the same evil that comes from our wisdom is the same evil that causes us to be defeated by ourselves, our " ego that corrupts/cuts ties" which Meruem himself mentions. It's true, but that's one of the reasons we have so many developments resulting from wars. What can also be understood is that even though Netero was a creature of the highest level in the "human" lineup, he was no match for the ant King and both were no match for this very low-cost bomb, created for destructive purposes. Mention for the "pink" bomb, which actually only has that nickname due to comparison, a song and other things... In fact, its real name is Little Boy, the bomb used in Hiroshima during the war period. This bomb had 15kt of power, which is something "small" compared to the power of the current ones that were registered and declared by their countries (remembering that there are possibly other bombs of a higher level that were not shown because just their sample would cause panic throughout the world , because the biggest bomb ever recorded today is already causing a lot of controversy due to the fact that it has the power to destroy an entire State, if I'm not mistaken it is a "100m tsar". Imagine someone saying that there is one measuring 1000 mt or more, it is practically an entire continent disappearing, and the problem becomes much bigger due to the impact on nature that this will cause and reflect in other places, waves, volcanoes, earthquakes, temperatures, in short what is possible end of humanity. 'Littleboy' was used at a time when Japan was ruled by a communist regime. The bombs were created precisely out of fear of cruel ideologies that will cause the end of the world, also with a longer shelf life, but with many scars in history, an immeasurable cruelty. However, unfortunately, as our evolution increased, many scientists learned how to create a bomb of this level, and each country began to create their own, and the problem with this is who is sitting in the chair who can make the decision. Unfortunately, people lacking intelligence and some of them fearful, have the privilege of this place and may make this terrible decision one day.

If netero was like 50 years younger or if even the king hadn't played all these strategy/tactical games, his mind wouldn't have been developed enough to figure out how to stop Netero

It would have taken long but he would have figured it out eventually before Netero could even hurt him by 10 percent.

When I was watching this show with friends who had already watched it, I saw that Meruem was indestructible and said something like “wtf? How are they gonna defeat these ants? Kill them with fire? Bomb them to death?” It was a passing comment for me so I didn’t even remember saying that. When this episode happened, my friend said I’d predicted it lol

" if there's a hell, i'll see you there" - is more like a heartfelt wish to me. Netero wants to see Meruem again, that much. 😂😂😂 for me it's Netero saying : i wish i did not have to do this, so my wish is wherever i go after this, you will be there. how ridiculously romantic is that. also it reminds me of a little conversation Killua and Gon has at the end credits of an episode. Gon asked Killua what he wants to be in his next life ( incarnation). Killua said : what about you Gon? then Gon said : in my next life, i want to be Me, and meet You again. ❤❤❤ Also a call back to Goku wishing that Buu would reincarnate so he can fight Buu again, and Buu did, he became the little kid Uub, a country pumpkin with a heart of gold, just like baby Goku was. then the end of Dragon Ball ( classic manga version), the real ending of DG, is Goku ditching everything behind, flying away with Uub, hoping and ecstatic to train Uub to become the strongest warrior, the next savior of the planet!!! ❤❤❤ How incredibly romantic 😍 ❤️ 💕 💖 ♥️

Translation note: When Netero says "evolution" in the manga, he uses the kanji word for "malice", but the furigana (small characters that show how read a kanji) spells out "evolution" in Japanese. So Netero is really saying "Never underestimate humanity's potential for evolution and malice."

There is a translation where Netero says "Meruem, the king of ants, you understand nothing... Of the bottomless malice within the human heart" before activating the bomb which makes the moment even better imo.
