![]() And he didn’t lose to just anyone he lost to a blind little girl named Komugi with a speech impediment and a perpetual runny nose. Then something strange happened: he lost. Doing so only further enforced his belief that he was a perfect being, since none of them could even challenge him. One by one he called in the masters of each game, and one by one he defeated them. His identity was the all-powerful king of the Chimera Ants, and that was all he needed at first.Īfter taking over a small dictatorship, the king decided to kill some time by playing various board games. His belief in his own perfection only strengthened this, since a perfect being wouldn’t need to question himself or try to improve. He had just been born, so all he truly knew about himself was his role as king and his own immediate desires. In spite of all that, the king was still a child on the inside. All that mattered to him was using his power to rule. He had no regard for anyone else, not even his own mother. After all, he knew he was the all-powerful king, so it was only natural that all other beings serve his will. Meruem was born fully grown and fully aware of his role as king. He was far more powerful than any of the other Chimera Ants, and was perfectly willing to use that power to get anything he wanted. For this part, I’ll be looking at one of the best characters in the arc: Meruem, the king of the Chimera Ants. ![]() Instead, parts one and two of this will each look at one of the arc’s best aspects, while part three will be why it’s also such a mess. Explaining exactly why would take far too long for a single editorial, so I’m splitting this into three parts. I was originally going to go over all the reasons it’s so good, but doing that would take far too long and wouldn’t let me go in depth with anything. It’s also the show’s best and messiest arc yet. Clocking in at around 60 episodes, it’s by far the longest and most densely packed arc in the anime. ![]() There’s a lot to be said about the Chimera Ant arc in Hunter x Hunter. Spoiler Warning: This post contains major spoilers for Hunter x Hunter.
