Yeah so I just finished the arc and what the hellllll. I’m gonna be thinking abt this one
WHAT THE ACTYSL FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#(chimera ant arc spoilers in tags)#startinggggggggggggggggggggggggggg#now#ok so.#as I said in the tags of the original post. the gon and pitou fight. what.#also. ‘we’re just as bad as the ants. no. we’re much much worse’ WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK. RADIATION POISONING???#like I’d seen a little of the arc before but probably no more than like 10-15 episodes#so going into this my main impression of these ants was scary!! dangerous!! eating humans!!#but then seeing them slowly learn and like. care for each other. get to the point where they could respect humans despite having more power#seeing the depth of the guards’ care for the king and how they were willing to do anything and everything for him.#seeing that some of them still had human memories and started remembering their past lives as time went by#and meruem’s transition from a being who only cared about himself to one who cared about komugi.#his questioning why he was born and what his name was.#and how in the end all he wanted was to play gungi with komugi in his last moments.#the way she was so happy to find someone who would value her for her#the queen desperately confirming her son was ok in her dying moments and having her last request be to tell him his name#like I knew on some level the ants were just doing what they needed to to survive#but bc some of them enjoyed killing humans it was hard to hold on to emotionally#but then it points out human corruption and greed and how humans are really doing the same things#the fucking bomb being not only powerful enough to nearly kill meruem the first time but also full of radiation#so meruem and everyone around him were guaranteed to die whether it was quickly or somewhat more slowly and painfully#also. back to the pitou battle. the juxtaposition of gon the mc going completely off the rails and summoning all the power he’ll ever have#in order to revenge kill pitou and pitou nen-puppetting their own corpse even after death#in an attempt to run out gon’s power and keep meruem safe#while meruem after realizing he was dying instead of trying to take as many humans as he could out with him#he just calmly asked palm to tell him where komugi was so he could spend his last few hours playing gungi with her.#and then he told her about being contagious so that she could leave before it was too late if she so desired.#like what the fuck. something about how everyone is capable of great good and great evil. especially on behalf of people you care about.#and the recognition of value and the recognition of similarities despite differences between the humans and the ants.#like wtf actually. oops this is tag limit & I didn’t even say everything but crazy fucking arc I’m gonna be thinking about this one I think
