Seeing Netero reminds me of King Bradley from Fullmetal Alchemist. Old people in anime are just built differently.

[@free2928]

Netero was hands down one of the coolest characters in HxH, I love the symbolism that no matter how strong another life force is, human intelligence and malice surpasses all of it and still poses a threat to any life form. Truly a masterpiece.

@@ivygailzoldyck4774 💀💀

[@Windmill360]

The nuclear symbolism is really strong in this arc especially if you consider the Japanese perspective. In this episode, Netero's line about "bottomless malice of the human heart" actually conveys a double meaning of "infinite potential for evolution" (which is also used in other subs) implying the Chimera Ants aren't the pinnacle of evolution. Rather, humans are because of the destructive (technological) means they use to dominate each other and other species to remain at the top of the evolutionary ladder. And it's also, from one perspective, why Netero mockingly laughs at Meruem's naivete and views the King as beneath him despite being outclassed.

The more you know about ww2, the more references you will get from watching this. and it's freaking beautiful. the rose symbolism with the nuke, both sides motives and morality. just top tier

[@tengenuzui7398]

ive been waiting for this

[@pipe7271]

This is definitelly one of my favorite episodes in anime. Basically, because of the real meaning of this fight: the humanity vs ants, evilness vs evilness, hard work and experience vs the ultimate being, the difference between a 120 years old man and a 40 days old pinacle of evolution. Also, there's some references: Netero lost his left arm and right leg (the sames he uses playing against Gon and Killua), Gungi's influence on Meruem ("you had me in checkmate from the start")

[@AdalHRivera]

I love this fight because it shows Meruem the true difference between being the peak of evolution in his species and being a random human. Being the peak of the evolution of his own species, Meruem's power, while incredibly great, is by definition capped at a certain point from which he just won't grow. On the other hand, while Netero indeed held his own against Meruem in a straight up battle, he won by using a cheap and dirty mass-produced bomb, which shows that humanity's potential not only is limitless but also not a result of power alone. Just the fact that this mighty King of an entire species is threatened by this random ass bomb that is not even the strongest weapon of humanity's arsenal is quite a message, and the show does stay on this message for a long time.

[@simarticon8883]

Bullshit. He evolved more in a few weeks than the entire human race in thousand of years. I cant even begin too imagine how the king would have been 50 years later. We would have had a peaceful world.

[@AdalHRivera]

@@simarticon8883 Yes he probably would've changed the world and everything given time, hindsight is 20/20 and all, but the fact remains that the King himself already conisidered himself to be at his peak by the time he battled Netero (even directly stating that he is the culmination of his species evolution, if I'm not mistaken) and this made him unable to even ponder the fact that he still might've had the potential to grow more powerful. Whether he had the potential or not is irrelevant because he wasn't willing to grow beyond his peak anyway.

[@WolforNuva]

@@AdalHRivera He considered himself the peak of his species, not the peak of his own ability, those are not the same thing. Given how much he had grown playing gungi alone and still intended to overcome Komugi with more practice, I highly doubt he thought that he had no more room for growth.

[@Un1verses_]

his power is literally gaining power from eating those powerful. He wasn't capped, his potential was infinite, the point made was that human malice is just as infinite, and that he is still a child compared to the evils humanity has thrown at each other, hence the bomb.

[@simarticon8883]

@@AdalHRivera Just like Wolf stated he considered himself at the peak of his species, not his abilities and we as the watcher could see that he was growing constantly at an amazingly fast rate.

[@emmyrxse]

The fact that this episode is one of the highest rating episode in all of anime says something

[@Putrefax]

I love how anime has conditioned us all to think like "oh no, if our strongest boy can't beat the baddie in a fight, who can we trust to beat him?". And then HxH reminds us that the human race has far more terrible weapons than a guy who can punch things well. Fighting is how you defeat an opponent, but a nuke is how you eradicate a species.

[@tng2022]

❤❤❤

[@theebattlemedic3098]

if you remember he said before that someone would have to die for the plan to work. he decided for himself to be the one to die

[@osteogent6445]

I love the 'infinite malice' reading because the fact that we're given usual Togashi background to a plot device (The miniature rose) tells us that this is the sort of things people can just make with relatively little effort and is enough to wipe out the god-like being of Meruem. That this fight was never a fight for the survival of humanity, it was just Netero putting himself up against a powerful opponent because he wanted to see if he could fight him, when in reality they could have just bombed the palace at a moments notice.

[@woid0]

oh boy, one of the two best episodes of this anime, cant wait for the second

[@AsterixMaximus647]

Waiting for 5 more episode...

[@Unknownzero012]

Remember when you said "This is a straight up nuke!" He is.. Netero is a walking nuke since the beginning..

[@depressedfrog2]

My guy had a nuclear bomb in his heart waiting to boom wtf

[@cam4970]

When the Narrator explains how Netero gained his power through training to the point of insanity, Meruem breaks this down in mere seconds. Without any proper training on Nen- he understood what the chairman put himself through to get to this point.

[@yourlocalanimecritic5633]

Netero kept hinting at the bomb, when he did the heart sign with his hands, directly above his heart How is that a hint? Well for starters, roses are associated with love

[@ardhifarhan4821]

throwing hands everywhere🔥🔥🔥

[@xXMOoOHDXx]

prayer comes from the heart

[@Procrastinater]

I always read the double meaning of evolution and malice, as well as Netero's rejection of Meruems position as this: Don't underestiate humans, unlike the ants, no one human is superior to another, yet humans yearn for superiority. This fact causes humans to fight, war and kill, cause death, injustice and discrimination against itself (malice) but on the flip side, the constant war for superiority and the malice it caused, in turn begets evolution. It is this very evolution which allowed humans with its individuality to surpass the king, and in turn save its species. A lot of people read the chimera ant arc as some critique about the cruelty of humanity, like some jaded art degree college student with green hair. It both is and isn't, it (accurately imo) describes how the cruel nature of humanity is both it's greatest sin and strength.

[@tng2022]

definitely a double edge sword, same with every ability in HxH. There's a price for anything and everything. And destruction is inevitable and sometimes even necessary. But I think Togashi is a pacifist. How he presents human destruction toward each other and other species has a lot of angst, and how he viscerally draw gruesome and gory details of pain and sufferings -- shows a yearning for peace. all the painful panels in the manga depicting this fights with haunting darkness, he must have wished for light. I love that HxH has tragedies but also joy and beauty, and even death is a promise and a hope for the future. ❤

Seeing this during current times is kinda scary... Anyone else think Putin has his heart connected to nukes?

[@tng2022]

not in his heart, but he has an army of them willing to do the bids if must be. I mean he also thinks he is in the right to protect what he thinks is important. So like Meruem or any other powerful tyrant, he thinks it's his duty to go all out If he is attacked. Or like Netero who thinks he has to get it over with at all costs, to the death. I think Putin is uncompromising and will do what he thinks that's needed to be done.

I love this show. Netero wons from the start because the humans are worst than ants. Meruem just wanted to talk and debates how he would improve the world, and netero just give his body and soul to destroy him because he was ordered. Mankind is bad and because of that, they won

[@tng2022]

Yep how shameful to be a human. I know we're bad but this is a stab in the face. ❤ reality bites I feel the same way when I read Black Jack during childhood. we can't stop being destructive, it's in the nature of all living things. Even plants eat each other.... but I'm still sad. We could have been enlightened and civilised for real, but we could not resists vices and cannot restraint ourself from the need for power.
