    Here is a much-improved, more complete and comprehensive Meruem analysis: th-cam.com/video/moXTmhpbb1k/w-d-xo.html
    It doesn't speak as much about the emotional side, but it is a much more significant and all-encompassing thematic/character analysis than this video.

  • @Nr4747

    Great character study. One important thing to note is that Meruem only *seemingly* reverts back to his old self when he comes to the (at this point) strange conclusion that might makes right and that he will kill Komugi.
    Imho, he actually *doesn't* revert back to his old self, but rather *lies to himself* because he isn't ready yet to openly admit that his own self-identity has changed.
    Being able to re-adjust one's own self-identity by re-evaluating ones's own ideals, goals and place in the world is arguably a sign of "true adulthood" and/or wisdom, and Meruem is more like an angsty, insecure teenager at this point in time.

    • @Aleczandxr
      @Aleczandxr  7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Yep,, agreed. It wasn't a true reversion, just a temporary relapse during which his newfound humanity (maturity, by your analogy) was trying to come out.

  • @MadarasRightHand7150
    @MadarasRightHand7150 5 ปีที่แล้ว +108

    After finishing the Chimera Ant arc, I can safely say that Meruem, in my opinion, was THE protagonist of the arc. It's a real shame he died of poisoning.
    And his death, with Komugi by his side, was just *weeps and sniffles* too much. It broke me when I first watched it. The effects still linger when I ponder it.

  • @namisann6680
    @namisann6680 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    You know what's REALLY amazing about his change? That little moment where Meruem kneels down in front of Palm. The King himself, the strongest character in the series, the supreme violent ant bows down in front of someone a lot weaker than him, begging to tell Komugi's whereabouts. What a pure heart he had at his final moments, this is indeed one of the most humane things he's ever done

    I must say that your review of Meruem is beautifully structured. I really love how you point out the key details of his life. Meruem reminds me of Ulquiorra during the later parts of Bleach, too bad that all good villans that actually learn their lesson seem to get killed way too fast. Anyway, I can barely wait for part II of this character review. Keep up the good work man!

    I think that an underlying motif of Meruem is that his design goes from his cold, robotic/animalistic feel to a more humane air while still being intimidating. Its subtle in the way that his eyes become rounder and more expressive to the point that the earlier Meruem is jarring to me. Its that good of a development.

  • @HxH2011DRA
    @HxH2011DRA 8 ปีที่แล้ว +69

    EXCELLENT AMAZING VIDEO SIR! If I may add on to what you said, I think another thing that's important to mention about the greatest character of all time is that in universe he's the smartest being to exist (that we know of or at least had the fastest growing intelligence). This fact is key because even through he just followed instinct and naive to the world at the beginning he had an extremely clear and concise understanding of that instinct (his nature) to the point that when he would berate someone he would often do it at the *philosophical* lv as well. (One of my favorite quotes from him came from this early period "in the hands of an incompetent power brings nothing but ruin")
    This is really important both thematically and narratively. It's important because a living being needs a grasp on what it means to have a place in the world (a philosophical concept that requires a lot intelligence to even fathom much less question) before they could question it. For example an animal doesn't question it's life purpose but just lives and tries to reproduce. The fact that meruem had such a clear concept of himself and his role at the beginning not only makes his eventual change that much more interesting and rich (and some other of the ants as well) but it also is a early sign of just how much humanity he has from the very beginning despite his lack of conventional compassion. He doesn't just rule cause he believes he wants to rule but that he has a *Right* too, a concept normal animals don't have, showing an inseparable linkage between the ants and humanity.
    Basically that was a long-winded way to say that in just looking at meruem from a character standpoint, even though he comes off 1D at the beginning he's always reinforcing the theme's of the arc :D

    • @Aleczandxr
      @Aleczandxr  8 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Great point to add on there, my friend. Despite his lack of understanding in some aspects, his sense of self and purpose was super important to integrating with the arc as a whole. Thanks for bringing that up!

    Meruem, easily my second favourite character right behind Hisoka. Such a fantastic character and such an arc it utterly blew my mind and this is a fantastic video~ Being made entirely from humans but being a chimera ant and having to combat these two polar points was insanely great to watch and utterly enthralling, the more you think about it the arc couldn't really end with Meruem doing anything else besides dying. He couldn't exist soundly by being a sound minded physical God who is entirely human in the body of a chimera ant
    Also Meruems early line about humans and cattle still sticks with me even now~

    Really good review of Meruem, your video editing is excellent, and you teach me so much about this masterpiece (#1 imo).
    By the way, I would like to point something out (10:35). The bird here is the same as the one who attacks Komugi, and as we can see, he flied because of the nen of Meruem.
    It's ironic because the fact that he is, indirectly, the one who makes the bird to attack Komugi.
    I'm bad at putting things into words but I really liked that, the fact that he almost became insensitive again made him even more doubtful about what he wants and more sensitive.

    I like meruem more then any character in hxh, though it is tragic but i think redeemed version of him would be one of the best main characters.

  • @BestestGrammar
    @BestestGrammar 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I also made an analysis of Meruem in my latest video. The conflict between instinct and self-awareness, the parallels between him and Gon, and much more. I would truly appreciate it if anyone would go and check it out!

    @JuliusCaesar103 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Never in my life did I expect Meruem to become such a riveting character (note how I didn't say antagonist). He started off as pure evil and ended up as one of the most tragic characters. Beautiful writing, this video cpatures that beautifully. Can't wait for part 2

  • @wizfiasco123

    I can't think about Meruem without tearing up. So incredible.

    • @Aleczandxr

      Agreed completely. Majestic storytelling.

  • @Nakama4Forever
    @Nakama4Forever 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Omg thank you so much. I've been waiting for this. You are even doing a 2 parter. You the man 😆 btw love the way you did the episode. It was kind of like a biography.

    • @Aleczandxr
      @Aleczandxr  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome, glad that this is something you've been waiting for. Thanks! I felt like a biography-ish style would work best for this since he goes though so much subtle development over time.

    do you plan on doing character analysis for Kurapika, Chrollo, or Hisoka? or maybe even a video about the Phantom Troupe in general? I really love these videos!!

    • @Aleczandxr
      @Aleczandxr  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm glad you enjoy the content! To answer your questions.. Yes, Yes, Yes, and Maybe.

  • @Gihnmilden
    @Gihnmilden 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    You, sir, have a very nice voice. I cannot stop listening to your videos in the background when I do work. You should really think about doing such videos as a profession. We need more of your voice :)

    • @Aleczandxr
      @Aleczandxr  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      That compliment means a lot to me, thanks very much. I've had more people compliment my voice (through these videos and in real life) in the past 2-3 months than I have had before then in my life. It's very nice to hear.
      As for doing it as a profession - well, I'd need quite a few more subscribers before I can even think about that, unfortunately. As for now, I'm sure TH-cam works just fine as a passion rather than a profession. :)

  • @xdswaefr
    @xdswaefr 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The thought of a Hisoka vs Chrollo fight has always fascinated me, pitting someone who is so obsessively proficient in all the nuances of his simple ability versus someone who has a surface grasp over many ablities would be so interesting to see

  • @mohamedabdulla6303

  • @harithhusam
    @harithhusam 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think that a major flaw that reflected directly on meruem character is the rapid unsteady development of all the other kimera characters, in a way they introduced so many characters in a small period of time.
