WAIT A SECOND! At 13:17, since she made a "pact" with herself with such a unique and strong devotion... could that have been some sort of nen condition too? She literally bet her life on it just like kurapika but for a totally different reason. That could also explain a few extra things of why she is so good at it
Pretty Sure she made a nen pact even without knowing about, like Neon. Something about "finding the best moves at Gungi" or "find counterattacks". And if she loses literally die but I don't see se loosing if always find the best move. One condition is to open her eyes
Also another factor, again without her being even aware, is that she only desires to play Gungi. As she is an Enhancer, she is enhancing her Gungi skills with Nen. But yeah, I realized this like the first time I saw Komugi and she explained her background. She is like Neon. Betting her life is a very hardcore condition. Although I disagree with you she is setting an explicit outcome for her condition like Nen Users usually do. She just plays Gungi because has innate talent and crazy memory for the plays and positions, that's it. The condition probably allows her to Enhance her skills beyond her limits. @@Dan-jn6ul
It is explained that masters of their respective craft can instill Nen in their creations, just like Zephile did to his statue in the auction arc, as he isn't a Nen user, just skilled. So yes, that's probably what it is. A nen contract would actually explain more than just her skill level.
The whole komugi monologue is probably one of my favorite scenes in the whole show. Its so touching and beautiful and is an example of the strength of character. Don't underestimate it.
I think also him removing his arm was out of shame for his tactics. He was being petty while Komugi is already risking her life with every game. This showed how his not emotionally capable of understanding that he could say sorry with words. He instead gave his arm because he deals with extremes.
This Arc Is A Masterpiece !!! Even if I know what will happen, it's the same sensation of intensity and pressure coming with the next episodes !! that's Crazy !!!??!! Togashi what a Genius !!!
I think thr whole Komugi sequence they should have let it sit for a while. The depth to the scene is immense. Not only had the King now listening to her but also having empathy for her. Hes also restrained himself due to her. Hes growing as an ant in to someone that isnt some evil ruler. And the most important thing is he apologized to her. Even if it was extreme. All in one scene. His character is evolving and it shall set off a chain of events you guys just have to see.
@@sain1536 these people's brain is smaller than that of a chicken, theres no point trying to reason with them. People who spoil are in general mostly r words
@@sain1536 The definition of spoilers is very weird for others. They could spoil a literal character death and have the audacity to say it's not a spoiler.
can we all remind them,towards the end of the last episode for this chimera arc not to skip the ending where mereum and kumugi have that sad monologue scene. seen lots of reactions and people seem to skip it because its after the ending credits.
Pretty sure it's implied that because she always bet her life and decided to kill herself if she ever lost a gungi match, she set a pact without realising to be almost unbeatable at gungi.
Why are so many people spoiling the story in the comments? I've seen a lot of reactions to HxH and although you can usually find spoilers in the responses to the comments, this is the first time I've seen so many people determined to ruin the experience for others by commenting on the video directly to leave a spoiler.
The King is quite a conflicted character which makes him interesting, he is extremely strong and confident, usually very rational, but at the same time he obviously values dignity and respect as you can see from him apologising and amputating his own arm, just that the bar for his respect is extremely high.
You guys should watch "Paprika" at some point. That is a wild movie I think everyone should watch once imo. Would love to see what you guys think of that film.
[UA-cam was being stupid and posted this on another video, so try two] Even on rewatch these episodes are tense. And It's nice to know that the show doesn't need to rely on their main characters to be compelling. If they wanted to make Morel the main character this arc, they could.
There is not many anime/manga where the protagonists are not to be seen for 1 to 3 episodes ^^ Meaning the world and other character have enough to offer to make episodes from it. That a good point for an anime.
Unrelated, and sorry if the comments are not the place for suggestions, but I would really really like to recommend to you guys "Millennium Actress" by Satoshi Kon. It's an absolute canonical event, a before an after that will remain as a core memory. And it's hauntingly beautiful, from the obvious and external beauty, to the deeper motions of the soul. 100% recomend for sessions like this, with plenty of time to process it and talk about it. ^^
*This comment contains spoilers* I watched Hunter x Hunter a while ago but i still remember Meruem and Komugi having a better love story than most. Fr😂 Edit- Sorry guys i didn't realise it first that it may come across as a spoiler, I must have confused the timing, thought everyone knew by now seeing their interactions. Sorry for that again, I will be more mindful next time.
@@Fara_Ka That's not really a high bar TBF, Mikasa doesn't have a personality outside of Eren. Thinking about it, does she actually have a single conversation the entire show that isn't with or about Eren?
If you really watched it before, then why are you spoiling the story for them and for anyone who could be watching the anime with them for the first time?
@@tortoiseoflegends4466 Not really, it's just WIT cut a lot of her dialogue and monologue. When Eren got captured by Annie and rushed in at the cost of Levi's ankle and pretty much endangering him, she felt guilty. From that moment, she swore not to be like that anymore. No longer just only think about Eren but others as well.
Hot take but I think being mindful of spoilers in the comment section should be a given. Even for new viewers watching along. Shows that have been out and available for years are generally the watchers responsibility, shows that are actively airing should fall unto the community. Just an opinion, don’t shred me toooooo hard, I get it others may feel differently.
I'm shocked at how many people are so comfortable with giving spoilers to people watching HxH for the first time. I truly don't understand it! especially when you call them out and they have the audacity to say it's not a spoiler.
@@armstrongQB1 I’m literally arguing with someone under the top comment who is saying that because something is foreshadowed, it’s ok to spoil it because it’s obvious. What an absolute dingus.
Lol, that Towing rant at the beginning!! In my city of Toronto, there have been some murders between towing companies suspected owned by gangs having a turf war.
You know about this but I am still reminding you guys this again that our "King" is newborn even though he looks like a grown man but his mind is still like a child who does know single thing.. So kumugi is like his turning point or best point.. Just wait you will know why many people love this arc😊
It is one of the reasons yeah. It also shows that you are "made" someone through your interactions and connections with others. the King personality and thinking is set as the "King of the Ants" cause well he is and also cause the only people around Him are the Guards, whom constantly reminds him that HE is the "SUpreme Being" on this Earth and that he is Above anyone else. But through Komugi's and future Interactions, he'll learn that the World doesn't revolve around Him and he learns respect and finaly what his purpose was. Just like any 2 months old, he's still learning.
There is something you should consider before trying to analyse the king's personality .Meruem is an animal and a king as well meaning he is responsible for an entire species and since he is an animal his first thought to survive is his survival instinct which leads to kill anything and anyone who wants to overthrow or surpass him . The king is like a newborn with great powers in the wrong hands ( his guards who wish to only serve him and dominate the world ) will do great evil and in the good hands will do great good but he is now like a 3 yo with a gun so he is yet to figure the meaning of his life and why he was born as a king & his responsibilities so us as readers we can't call him an antagonist yet because there is a lot to change about him . now going back to the narattor's lines about how this girl is about to change his whole world it just means that playing against komugi created a conversation with another specie , the human kind ! The king never dealt with humans cause he didn't give them chances in the first place but with komugi he was interested in one common thing between him the king and a lowlife ( to him ) a human ! that created the longest conversation he ever had with a human and increased his curiosity to get to know this human and her values . I believe komugi is the open gate for the king's development and redemption should he develop .... so the king isn't changing , the king is learning cause you can't call an instinct act a personality , all animals kill when they feel they are challenged or when they are scared and he is born of animals and humans that means there is a good side in him it's just suppressed plus let's not forget what his name means he could really be the light of the world !
In case anyone hasn’t realized this yet, the gungi games are meant to be a story telling device, and you aren’t meant to understand how the game actually works. So if at any point you were watching and got confused about the rules of the game, don’t worry about it since the rules don’t actually exist.
The worst thing about this channel by far is the random waffle at the start of the video like nobody cares or wants to hear that, either talk about the show or go straight to the reaction .
Why are you spoiling their experience? they literally haven't finished the arc? can you explain why you'd leave this comment under a video of people watching this series for the first time??
A person chooses the road that leads them to being the biggest PUSS in HxH history in this episode!!!!!! This is where it starts!!! 😤I was expecting so much more from this person and it blew my mind how it they turned out….but I still love it cuz I think it makes it such a cool story!!! The crazy turns the story makes is amazing and makes it more realistic imo cuz I know that’s exactly how some ppl would act in a situation like that.
Why are you spoiling their experience? they literally haven't finished the arc? can you explain why you'd leave this comment under a video of people watching this series for the first time??
He is not a "PUSS", grow up kid, there is a reason that what happened to him, happened. Any other character would have went through the same thing too.
That’s crazy to hear. I think the anime gave a great ending to a unfinished story. I don’t feel like it is rushed, but it is different for everybody These 2 things can be subjective so im not going to argue. But i hard disagree on the idea, that when the ending isn’t meeting one‘s expectation, the show doesn’t worth watching anymore This doesn’t make sense at all, unless you didn’t have fun watching the show from the beginning. If so i applaud you for your perseverance
Maybe you should search more about the next show you finish before talking about it so confidently next time? As everyone said it's unfinished and the manga is still ongoing so what are you on about 🙄

Both were in a competition of who has more balls, even if they both literally don't have any lol
(clearly Komugi is the winner, btw)
"palm is back? like im shook. really shook" in the most monotone face and voice 😂😂😂
Knov's infiltration scene on the next episode is the most nerve-wracking shit I've seen in anime. It scared me more than any horror movie. Hahaha 🤣
Knov putting up the portals is one of my favourite moments in HxH. It´s just so intense, the way they directed this whole operation was amazing!
16:02 "if you wanna kill me use gungi" such a baller thing to say to the king
I think thr whole Komugi sequence they should have let it sit for a while. The depth to the scene is immense. Not only had the King now listening to her but also having empathy for her. Hes also restrained himself due to her. Hes growing as an ant in to someone that isnt some evil ruler. And the most important thing is he apologized to her. Even if it was extreme. All in one scene.

Komugi was annoying in the later half tbh
Ep. 119 is where they got it from.
Finished the show yesterday... It feels incomplete, rushed, unfinished... by the end it doesn't feel worth the watch....
That’s because it is unfinished… the manga is ongoing. Rushed tho? It’s an ending hopeful of what is yet to come & what is left to discover.
Maybe because the show literally isn’t finished 🤦🏾♂️
That’s crazy to hear. I think the anime gave a great ending to a unfinished story.
I don’t feel like it is rushed, but it is different for everybody
These 2 things can be subjective so im not going to argue.
