The point of the last line "It was popular with small dictatorships" was basically to say that the ants had no chance to win to begin with. Brilliant.

[@lowserver2]

thats why the malice line is more appropiate, they would never predict that we were willing to nuke ourselves to preserve power

[@crash4271]

"You believe I cannot pray with a single arm?" is to-date one of the rawest lines ever spoken in an anime

[@DJisAwesome]

Altho this is really good, I truly like the English dub more than this. "I don't need hands to pray". HXH English Dub was done so well it lives up to the hype of the original Japanese Dub (but of course nothing beats the original language its supposed to be lol)

[@Cosmicat01]

​@@DJisAwesomehxh English dub is the only dub I love just as much as the original

[@Arkayjiya]

It's also very reminiscent of the black knight and therefore very funny. Someone had to have make a fan comic of Netero dressed up as the black knight.

[@alexandriteqween9760]

This was the perfect way to show that humans aren’t too different from ants. Netero died a very ant-like death, which is for the colony, or in his case humans. While Meruem is gaining humanity, the characters we are rooting for are losing it. Another amazing thing was showing that humans are the ones capable of the worst evil. Meruem may be seen as this all-powerful destructive being, but in the end, it was a nuke (which humans created and use) that ended it all. The scariest things are happening around us lol.

[@MrPlasmaFox]

To add to this, it wasn't even the most powerful nuke tested by humanity, but a low budget mini used by poor dictatorships. In the grand scheme of things, given optimal time to prepare, that bomb was only a mere fraction of the true horror humanity is capable of unleashing upon the world. As much as Meruem represented, the great King of the Ants, the pinnacle of all that an individual can be; at the end of the day, humanity is both hope and malice incarnate, fickle in nature. Mereum learned exactly what being on the wrong side of humanity is like, and it's woefully pretty in the night sky.

[@rekashum7293]

@@MrPlasmaFox Yo your line "Meruem learned exactly what being on the wrong side of humanity is like, and it's woefully pretty in the night sky." is so fucking good, imma steal it.

[@tudeslildude]

Fun little call back. Genthru (the Bomber) from greed island had a power called 'little flower'. Miniature Rose is a call back to this that implies Genthru was actually inspired by the name of the bomb, when naming his own technique

[@majinzyzz]

Fun fact, in this fight Meruem took both hand and leg that Netero didnt use at the beggining when Killua and Gon tried to take the ball from him.

[@thesevendeadlysins578]

.....Wow. I didn't even realize that after more than a dozen watch throughs...

[@majinzyzz]

@@thesevendeadlysins578 that's why hxh is so awesome with these details

[@Kal911]

he took the ones he used, not the one he didn't. Netero didn't use left leg and right hand, here he lost them both. This was his bias.

[@majinzyzz]

[@umcaraai3062]

@@majinzyzz it's like one piece oda and Togashi are the biggest mangakas

[@zero2champion419]

A POOR MAN's NUKE, not even a top of the line nuke, like a nuke from 80+ years ago 3rd world country. What does this imply? That Meruem was never going to win, That the Ants never had a chance to begin with because the government didn't even take them seriously enough to use an expensive nuke. This Implies that there are much much stronger nukes in that world. From the start, if the ants ever got too loud, a first would country would just drop a FEW EXPENSIVE nukes on the entire castle, kill everything there, make it a nuclear wasteland for the next 100 years and move on with life. Netero chose this fight btw, he didn't have to, they only wanted someone to lead the king away from other people, to a safer bomb zone. Netero decided that he wanted to face an enemy as strong / stronger than him (when was the last time he's ever been the underdog). Which is why when the King gave him SEVERAL outs, he took none of them, he was like "nah lets run this fade"

[@nasimmason]

As sad as Neteros sacrifice was, the poor man's rose is so cool

[@normanbarrera7484]

correct japanese line: Never understimate humanity's potential for malice...

[@real_rutmen]

Both are correct

[@rudygrant6276]

Both words were written in the manga. And in the sub he says “shinka” which means evolution. Americans just think “malice” sounds cooler.

[@tx6723]

Evolution is better because it's more deep

[@BennLuvsYou24]

Evolution is more appropriate as it refers to humanity and technology and the extent we use it for.

[@yogapradiptam]

even digimon is using "shinka" word as evolution

[@Sgublaka94]

Humanity’s got some malice 🌹

[@joaquinsalinas8549]

AMAZING episode, AMAZING REACTIONS!!

[@enaj6767]

let the chaos begin

[@anthonyarmstrong1507]

Been waiting for this one!!! Hyped to start my watch

[@scepii]

This episode imo is one of the best in all of hxh. It's actually incredible

[@zavs350]

I’ve always loved the conundrum on humanity this show poses, shown in simple things like Meruem’s obsession with his name. Naming is a human concept. It just shows that from the moment the Chimera Ant Queen thought of naming Meruem, it already signified that even in their goals to rule, they were still under the influence of humans... and humans are fucking scary. This arc wonderfully shows that, from the way humans terrorize not just other species but its own and, as Netero put it, its infinite potential for malice? Chimera ants didn’t stand a chance from the get-go, especially after they abandoned their unity or their shared sense of purpose - which is probably the only edge they had against an established species.

[@Killua_Zoldyck]

I still get goosebumps 😳😳 btw Amazing reactions 💯💢💨

[@dadeee7776]

damn i just found your guys channel at the perfect time for this anime, time for me to watch a few prior eps

I'd wait for a couple more episode (5 episodes to be specific) to feel shocked. But yeah, this episode is one of the best.

[@shaquilleestampador2722]

RIP Chairman Netero

[@74Mohamed74]

One of the best episodes in the world of Shonen.

[@Ryuksgelus]

The Rose took out a mountain range. Zero didn't even destroy the room they were in. Galaxy stuff was just to look cool. One man's aura isn't stronger than a nuclear bomb.

[@liltoshiro]

I also thought if he blasted a star then how can a nuke get to the King

[@h3llboyyy407]

@@liltoshiro yeah i like to think of it as a condense version of his aura which was probably really like mansion sized at it's maximum

[@Doomclown]

I never tied this to the final stage of Gon's Hunter Exam before but Netero is really living that lesson here.

[@georgeide2337]

Radiation guys

[@Kal911]

Fun fact: Netero lost the limbs that he used against Gon and Killua in the ball game (he didn't use left leg and right arm, here he loses his right leg and left arm), that was his bias.

[@That_guy_you_dont_know]

Apart from his nen the king's most powerful abilities are his IQ and potential of evolution which is very fast compared to other species the king evolved to this much powerful creature in around 40 days

[@muza092]

Remember Netero said he isn’t even a top 5 Nen user anymore

[@Manizalest0v4r]

5:17 its so ez 2 overlook and id dare 2 say even understimate neteros motion

I mean, zero hand didn't destroyed the whole place like the rose bomb did.

This is one of my top anime eps , this episode is top 10 IMDb over red wedding,felina

[@CapitanAdHominem]

Ningún ataque podría ser más poderoso que una bomba atómica radioactiva, esto no es Dragón Ball... Esa bomba fue suficiente para acabar con el ego del Rey, y el hecho que sea barata y compacto y producida en grandes cantidades, hace referencia al terrible potencial humano y deja a Meruem como un insecto más...

[@Mr.AARON..]

Should’ve listened to it in dub

[@oussamataali]

oh man i was waiting for this episode i love how netero didnt want to lose and hated meruem at the end he was filled with hatred and malice at end he legit turned into full demon mode that why i love this show so much

[@shingtaka595]

Goodbye Netero.

[@AnusSniffer69]

This episode, and Erwin’s final charge in AOT are my favorite heroic moments in Anime.

[@Madmax-jg7kw]

I just'notice that if there was not those pillar, muruem would not be able able to move and confuse netero with multiple angle of attacks... If they did stay on the surface, will Muruem be able to defeat Netero ?? He will have no angle to attack

[@nigel5317]

I guess Meruem wouldn't have any way to counterattack but would just take the blows until Netero eventually runs ouf of nen and stamina.

[@dominiclynx8886]

@@nigel5317 the fact that Netero didn't even flinch for a minute and didn't even get tired out and the king was already feeling slight pain. And the fact that Netero could keep his aura for 18 hours before running out when he was at his prime. Shows that he could actually injure meruim pretty badly.

[@Kal911]

Simply meruem would have won by stamina, I remind you Netero hit him hundreds of time per minute, without the pillar Netero would have never managed to make him feel pain because meruem would have recovered. Meruem was feeling pain because he was hit thousands of times consecutively. A child slap don’t hurt you, thousand of child slap in the same spot for 5 minutes would hurt you.

[@SOA_yt]

@@Kal911 I don't understand why "without the pillar Netero would have never managed to make him feel pain"? Netero hitting him would still push him towards something, the ground or a far away object, he was not in an infinite empty space.

[@Kal911]

@@SOA_yt meruem attacked him several times each seconds, without the pillars meruem wouldn’t have been hit that many times in the same spots thousands of time, which is the reason why he was beginning to feel the slightest hints of dull pain in his body. If someone gives you a light slap in the face it won’t hurt you, right? If someone gives 60 slaps per minute for an hour you will sure feel a lot of pain. Meruem would have perfectly recovered every time he was hit if it wasn’t for the pillars. And in a long stamina battle meruem is invincible.

[@robinchwan]

if i'm not mistaken.. the " infinite potential for evolution " is wrong. it's " infinite potential for malice "

[@rfa16993]

Both are not wrong. It can interpreted in both ways. Dont invalidate the evolution part

[@robinchwan]

@@rfa16993 malice breeds evolution, the act of doing anything and everything for the sake of satiating your malice, which means malice IS evolution to some sence, no need to tell me off, i just wanted to correct the original conversation.

@@robinchwan many commenter says otherwise. That is why im saying it

[@enlightendbel]

To think where the ants came from, they actually are among the weakest of weak creatures, ants in comparison of power and size of everything else out there. They pretty much got to the central island/continent where mankind lives, as a last ditch escape for survival.

[@jacobzukaitis2995]

netero would have died instantly if the king took it seriously the reason they are doing the game is so netero has a chance, the king wants to know his name and if he kills netero then he wouldn’t know y he has to make him admit defeat. to get him into the battle and not give him a chance to leave.

[@jacobzukaitis2995]

the nuke would have been activated if he died from the start though but i think netero wanted a honorable death so he forced the king to fight him or it could have been the king would have had time to leave if they weren’t in a battle🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Kal911]

@@jacobzukaitis2995 Netero didn’t want an honourable death, it wasn’t even necessary for him to die in the first place. They could have simply placed the bomb there, then Netero could have fleed with the help of another nen user like knov or someone with a similar skill to teleport, and meruem would have died. But for Netero it was an ego matter, he wanted to fight an opponent that truly had the power to beat him, something he wished for his entire life, that’s why he chose to do it this way. It wasn’t about honor, it was to satisfy his fighter ego
