Netero Died like an ant sacrificing himself for the colony (Humans) and Meruem died in the most human way possible, Spending time and held hands with the person he cared the most. Found new details- Netero eyes were ant like during death, Meruem was blind due to the poison (so he kept asking if Komougi was there as he can't see now he finally saw how she saw the world) and Komougi finally felt his face and hand, which made her realise he wasn't not human but still accepted him. Both of them got little more closer by understanding each other, The OST played during their death is called "Understanding". HxH is simply beyond greatness

nah any military force wouldnt have done it, they clearly state in both mediums that simply throwing more bodies and weapons at the problem will only increase the number of ants thus making the situation increasingly hopeless, also by the time anyone was able to warn of the threat ants already have nen and were spreading its use throughout their ranks. we can see a military forces’ effectiveness against against ants in the form of cheetu, who is easily the dumbest and least qualified ant whos only real gimmick is being fast and strong and durable, no one was able to do anything about him except moral who was able to outsmart him using nen. cheetu could probably single handedly take out most of an invading force if one was sent to deal with the ants, the royal guard alone could easily ward off an invasion. idk how to get my point across any better but no a military force of almost any size would just be fodder, the only other strategy that -might- have worked would have been to gather like the strongest nen users including the phantom troupe, every zodiac plus every other useful hunter we can assume exists and have them all figure out a strategy to fight in tandem with each other, train together for like a month and then hope they get like a 1v30 against each royal guard hoping they lose as few casualties as possible to even have a shot at meruem and even then theyd prob still have the rose because if they lost their one chance humanity is extinct

It’s kind of hard to give the ants any sort of moral high ground. They stated their arch seeing humans as nothing more than food. Their king embodied arrogance while he and his guard flouted powers that they never earned or worked for. Only towards the end of his life did the king start to show any behavior that was positive. And even that behavior was reserved only for those he deemed worthy. It’s like planet of the apes, in time the ants would’ve become just like humans if not worse

I mean, radiation poisoning is a thing. One of the symptoms of which is cancer, where your cells literally kill your body because their gentic coding is damaged and they reproduce endlessly until the tissues they compose interfere with healthy functions of the body. That said, this normally takes at least weeks or months, not hours or days. Though extreme radiation exposure can hit those timeframes.
