King Coke Meruem is one of those villains that you love right when he shows up the first time. He's badass, he knows it and isn't afraid to show it to anyone. He's like the not coward and annoying version of Frieza.
When you finally get to the Chimera Ant Arc opening Girlfriend: They don't have the "You can smile again" line in this version of the song. I wonder why they changed it? Me: *sweats nervously*
I always get hyped when I see Gon's eyes turn black, and his energy goes wild. Also when the 3 guards look up at the king, it just shows how powerful he is. One of the few OP's I don't skip when I watch the anime, due to how awesome the song and animation is.
Jose RicoTacoNachoQuesadillaMandillaJones Your opinion doesn't matter, if you tell someone to kill himself because he loves something, you're a hater.
i think HxH is the only anime i know that used the same opening (changed some parts) over and over. The crazy thing is i never realized that until now even when i watched the first 80 episodes in one week when i started it...
The reason they used in over and over was because Yu Yu Hakusho used the same opening over and over. Yu Yu Hakusho was also written by Togashi, so that's why they did it. It's a tribute of sorts.
Super saiyan god super saiyan Mystic super saiyan 4 I don’t care how old this post is if you don’t think anything happens in this ark you can leave right now and never show your face anywhere near me again
Pazziify kite died, most powerful being ever to exist in their universe died, a powerful queen who could’ve taken over the world died, kite was reborn kinda, gon literally turns into a crazy person and gets revenge on pitou, and many more so idk what he’s talking about
Me Before Chimera Ant Arc: Ooooohhh giant anttssss, this is gonna be so cool! Me During Chimera Ant Arc: Wtf those are ants?! Me After Chimera Ant Arc: : (
1:00 before seeing his fight with meruem , i didn’t know the meaning of him standing on just one leg and one of his hands was inside his T-shirt. When i saw the fight i realized it was a hint that he would lose a hand and a leg fighting the badass ant
This arc has an action-tard filter, that's why some people doesn't like it, they cannot endure some slow pacing parts. This arc is a masterpiece with great writing and drama, very rare in the shounen genre.
I know this comment is old but I gotta agree. So many people were saying this arc was boring but when I got to it I was pleasantly surprised, maybe only a few episodes after the king was born and gon and killua's training with knuckle was a little weirdly paced for me (the actual stuff happening was ok though) but everything else was fantastic.
I just watched the show recently, and it doesn’t help when the whole fan base hypes this arc to be best of all time, so of course we are gonna expect like a York new 2.0. However I agree the story is amazing and took me a bit to actually appreciate it, but it could go without so much hype behind it.
I did feel it was a little slow, mostly just because we just got through the Greed Island arc, which was incredibly fast (though, I didn't find it particularly outstanding). I gotta say I enjoyed this arc greatly though. It just took a bit of breaks to get through it (I am impatient).
0:46 i just love how Gons expression changes when he thinks about Pitou, you can literally see the rage forming in his face. so much love for detail, stuff like that separates Hunter x Hunter from the other main-stream shounen (One Piece, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Bleach).
MDguzman One piece is good but latest episodes are shit, katakuri vs luffy went on for like a year and it was shit the fight was predictable asf and the animation was trash, but I can’t say anything since I don’t animate, as for hxh the show is legendary especially the chimera ant arc. It will always have a good place in my heart.
When Gon was finally able to kill his enemy (Neferpitou) when fighting, it made me think HxH is not as naive as the one whose main character power is Talking no Jutsu.
I love this opening because I always interpret the part with Netero, saying "You can try!" as a kind of message to Netero himself and all of the hunter association, saying "Defeating the chimera ants will be impossible, but YOU CAN TRY!". It sinalizes how the mission itself is almost suicidal and ends up being extremely harsh. It gives me shivers how it happens right on Netero's scene, expressing his own final act.
Matheus Teixeira well i heard the writer is being a lazy bastard and wasting all his time on dragon quest......................not even trying to be funny its mostly true :(
Bro aot is my favorite anime But my favorite villan is meruem . He is literally the definition of perfect villan and my second favorite is chairman netoro in hxh . Honestly gon and killua are not my favorite after I see them
The anime was so good , the mangaka is a master mind to me, because never before I enjoyed a story this much. I must admit that this arc gave me chills down my spine. People who did not watch this anime or read the manga , they miss out on a lot.
At first i found it annoying how the song was always the same, but i love it. I dont even skip it because it gets me pumped up for the episode. And 0:39 to 0:41 is my favourite bit. Everyone just looks so badass,walking casually Oh, and how can i forget 0:46 to 0:49
the opening sequence to me conveys this: Meruem at the Bottom of the Ocean (Botom of the World/ or Earth symbolizing the lower self or lower region -nether realm) activates enlightenment (signified by the orb of light raining through to his palm as well as the way he grasps the light looks to me like a mudra) and he acheives ascension from the collected swirl of degradation, hate, self-superiority.. of course however YOU feel it is what's GREAT!
Because of this version of the opening in particular, I can’t listen to this song without becoming super paranoid and defensive. This show gave me trust issues.
This Arc's symbolism and satire on humanity was out of this world.Escapes me how some people could drop this arc,here's where gon lost his humanity,mereum gained his,We see Netero's real power and how all it took to kill the king was human malice,here gon and killua's friendship Got strained,,honestly without thid arc this anime wont get its classic aspect,and ofcourse every other arc
Seeing all the HxH OPs makes me proud that the guy who storyboarded all of them is AoT Final Season director. He just knows how to present the stories he is assigned and all the poses and staging plus backgrounds have subtle messaging about them
That part when the Royal Guard bows to Meruem gives me the chills.
TheSuperSaturos So iconic.
King Coke Meruem is one of those villains that you love right when he shows up the first time. He's badass, he knows it and isn't afraid to show it to anyone. He's like the not coward and annoying version of Frieza.
***** If you think about it, none of the ants was really a villain, they were just following their ant instincts.
The part that does it for me is ... the whole thing, right when kite lifts his head and looks toward gon and ki

This is probably the best arc i've ever seen in all anime.
+icekilla don The next 12 episodes are awesome
except that one part where the narrator wouldn't shut up.
LickOnion I know. It took at least seven episodes for 3 damn minutes to transpire.
Longest arc maybe but for me phantom arc is the best
Two words. Enies Lobby
literally cried episode 135. that was amazing
I was crying my heart out.
“Komugi, are you still there?” :(((((((
"Goodnight, Meruem. I will be joining you soon"
me too
136 was more cry worthy imo
I always get hyped when I see Gon's eyes turn black, and his energy goes wild. Also when the 3 guards look up at the king, it just shows how powerful he is.
One of the few OP's I don't skip when I watch the anime, due to how awesome the song and animation is.
***** He does that and some EPIC!!!!!!!! happens, don't wanna spoil it, but it's probably the best part of the arc.
My heart harder beats every time I see the Kings eyes in the end
everytime i see the king at the end, i think of every final boss i've fought combined just to kick my ass... its pretty frightening...
Brinksarsenal Ha! Gay!

Best shounen arc of all time!

When a cheerful shounen becomes a psychological masterpiece.
Best anime arc ever!
you finally changed your profile pic!!!
It wasnt cheerful before, remember that dark yorknew arc? Or bomber blowing 50 humans heads?
@@jeffeasy2685 violent yet cheerful compared to the chimera ant arc
They literally killed people there fictional.
This arch is a classic example of being way out of your league
The fights are still super good omfg. Let alone the one opposing Netero and Meruem.
L.Lawliet Ideki Even if it was incredibly one sided. Especially if it was incredibly one sided.
me don't understand you.
It was incredibly entertaining watching Netero's life training go down in flames.
Edit: Ants
Edit: Ant
Yea definitely. Everybody got destroyed hard in this arc
I finished watching this arc, now there's nothing more left to watch for me. This arc won me completely. Absolute masterpiece.

It's better to reuse the same magistraly good op than using different op which are less good.
Rakal exactly, unless the opening sucks

Have you seem 135 yet?? Oh my god!!!
GamerTimeUSA yes i did it was touchy but 126 was touchy in a different way which i prefer (just my opinion)
GamerTimeUSA literally cried. it was amazing
*135, a real tearjerker still not over it...
1:00 before seeing his fight with meruem , i didn’t know the meaning of him standing on just one leg and one of his hands was inside his T-shirt.
When i saw the fight i realized it was a hint that he would lose a hand and a leg fighting the badass ant
Nice catch! Didn't realize that was a subtle hint.
and his life also
Remember when he challenge Gon & Killua playing ball? He only use one hand and one leg
What a great foreshadowing😳
@@athallahnaufalhafizh2073
That fight cost an arm and a leg literally
0:50 in my opinion, the best part of this opening. The animation where Hunters going against the chimera ants is so fluid and cool.
+
Agreed
Right? All the shit those 4 had to fight BEFORE fighting Pouf and Youpi. Reminds me of the Sasuke retrieval team from Naruto.
And knov-san just disappearing 😂

EXACTLY
Am I the only one who doesn't get bored by watching the vid again and again?
I loved the chimera ant arc it's my second favorite after the yorknew arc.
Same here! There is to much greatness!
When Gon was finally able to kill his enemy (Neferpitou) when fighting, it made me think HxH is not as naive as the one whose main character power is Talking no Jutsu.
Because Gon actually lose himself in rage, that's probably one of the best actual rage moments in Anime
Because of rage the kid turn to adult the best rage moment
Yes, but naruto is great too. It had its moments just like hxh
@@atharvpathak9062 tbh i stopped liking Naruto after the pain arc

119 ? Killua Godspeed ?

of course however YOU feel it is what's GREAT!

i love how u see gon turn into a adult in this intro but for a split moment

this song makes me so happy
The arc itself hits different though...
this arc is forever engrained in my mind
(0:24)-(1:03) I love this part ❤️ so much
