Hunter x Hunter Episode 134-136 REACTION

When you realize that the Chairman DID win. Checkmate.

Mra Keung

Pouf was loyal to an IMAGE of what he believed the king should be. Not true loyalty to the king himself in my opinion.

Mra Keung

These three episodes are such a ride. first Komugi and the King, which just breaks your heart into tiny pieces, then Reine wich heals it up just to shatter it again and then lastely the Ging reveal... Its just a lot

Saiyasha

Pouf was twisted because his loyalty was too much. But he really cared about his King we can't deny him that

If someone had told you, when the King was first introduced, that you'd end up crying over him, would you have believed them for even a second? This show is absolutely brilliant.

Lewis Dawn

The next 12 episodes are roughly 69% as crazy as the chimera ant arc, also, might as well read ahead, anime might be years out

Hey Ruff, since you were talking about the Hiatus x Hiatus status, I figured I would share this as it's relevant: https://hiatus-hiatus.github.io/ It's a visual chart of Hunter x Hunter's hiatuses by weekly Shonen Jump release dates along with a bunch of other interesting statistics about the manga release. For reference, the manga chapter (chapter 339) corresponding to the last bit of the final anime episode (ep. 148) was published in Jump on March 12, 2012. The most recent chapter is chapter 390, and it was published in Jump on November 26, 2018. Just gives you an idea of exactly the kind of suffering you'll be joining the rest of us in as you await new chapters lol.

Zelsaard

election arc start haha one of my faves scared for the transphobic arguments during this arc in the comments haha

Lemonkatze

Hunter X Hunter is one of the greats, too bad that its continueation is halted.

Roy Meulblok

That scene with Meruem & Komugi be one of the most heart-felt moments of HxH Immediately cuts to festival music

Built Different

It’s 3AM and now I’m crying

Natalie Bucciarati

Oh yeah, wanted to mention that you forgot that Colt was Kurt. Reinas brother. Can't blame you for forgetting because that was one of the first Chimera Ants that we learned about in any capacity.

Jeremy

You saw Gon lose his humanity, and now you've seen Meruem find his humanity

Justin V

I still cry over the Komugi and King outro, even watching over again it still hits - it was an unexpected, sad and beautiful way to end it 😭

Allison

Tagashi the Shakespeare of anime

YEEEEEEEEES! 3 episodes. Thank you Senpai! I can relax having seen your reaction to the end now XD Also still looking forward to the last arc of course.. It's underrated (IN my opinion) Was expecting more tears but yeah.. He's a genius!

GedenWilbur

Why Meruem is one of my favourite villains, how many other villains demise almost brought you to tears? I went from against Meruem, to mixed, to thinking he would make a great king.

Joe

I know that the Manga has been on hiatus for around 2-3 years, but it's not the first time. People act like Togashi has been gone for decades. I do believe the manga will return, whether it is drawn by him or his wife (who made sailor moon)

OleBrr

Seeing Ging reignited my hatred for him 😒😒😒😒

C

I read the chapters then watched an analysis video before re reading and it was much more enjoyable after the video so that's a good option imo.

Ok Great

Also the current chapters have so much text in them, that it will literally be like reading a book lmao, at this point Togashi just needs to turn the format into a light novel and be done with this torture.

Alexander Zhuravlev

There's a really cool fight in the manga that you absolutely have to read, but I'm not sure it will translate well into a reaction, because of how fucking heady it is, I had to reread the chapters multiple times before I understood how everything went down. Still, you should definitely read it, even if just on your own.

Alexander Zhuravlev

Congrats on finishing the arc! and YAYY we are diving into the manga IM SO EXCITED

Not true. This current hiatus from Nov 2018 to now is the longest so far but he said he wants to finish.

Knocking Master Jiro

He's kinda like Netero after Zero Hand but way worse

Knocking Master Jiro

Meruem went blind before he died, too. Which is why he kept asking if she was still there.

Cody

they are salty but logical too, theres barely any content after, not even 1 arc. You literally will just read some and just feel teased.

Peacefinder Simply

Gon isn’t huge gon anymore he took decades off his life to get that big and after it wore off he lost all his nen and now might die

Charlie

Manga is 100% worth reading. Don't believe the salty peeps. It's so good that they are salty cause they want more. But it's really really good and there is a lot of story after to enjoy still.

Avishai Pinckney

T_T

David

there already has been a hiatus as longer as the current, so im not in the side of those who thinks we 'll not have new chapters,but i think he'll not conclude it maybe the current arc but maybe not the end, and i dont think its a problem

Fun fact: Reina in spanish means Queen. and Reina is the only ant that actually looks like an ant...

Avishai Pinckney

Gon's adult form wasn't really apart of his plan, it just happened with all the rage he had in his heart, it's not a simple transformation like Super Saiyan or something like that. To achieve that, he had to sacrifice his nen as well as life and most importantly, his humanity. He essentially made a contract with conditions (kind of like what Kurapika does with some of his chains) so that he could get all the power he'd ever have to beat Pitou. This is why you overestimated him, kid Gon has about 1/10th of Pitou's. As of right now, Gon is back to being a kid and won't ever be able to go back as adult since he sacrificed his nen to get all that power at that moment. (Explained by Pitou in episode 131)

Evan

Colt is Kurt and he is Reina's brother

Evgeniy Mokrushin

Lol I loved these episodes so much. And, your reactions were pretty close to mine when I first watched it.

I felt that

Allram

Togashi's visit to Egypt deff influenced this arc

Knocking Master Jiro

awesome fun fact that more people should know!

Avishai Pinckney

Shanks and Kite have more in common. Ging is Dragon.

Knocking Master Jiro

Nah he forgot

Knocking Master Jiro

I mean technically it can be since all before it was previously adapted...

Yagi di Hoshi

This concludes one of the best shonen arcs, period. Personally, I think it's the best just because of how complete it feels. It could be an anime by itself

OleBrr

Havent really been following HxH, but does ruff not realise the that Colt is the brother? Or am I wrong?

DizzleJW

Ging: Shanks but a horrible human being

inpax

Ging Freecss aka Yusuke Urameshi 2.0 is here. Need those manga live reaction livestreams lol

Knocking Master Jiro

Obligatory explanation of what happened written by someone: Kokoriko is an advanced Gungi technique by Komugi that centers around isolating the King (as in the Gungi piece, not the Chimera Ant), separating it from the other pieces and killing it off. Just like Netero and the Hunters were planning to do to Meruem. However, Komugi unexpectedly develops a counter to this technique in the middle of a game, meaning that the King piece (representing Meruem) no longer has to die (since he unexpectedly survived the nuke). Then, later on, when Komugi uses Kokoriko again, she actually develops a counter to the counter ("she reversed my reversal???"), representing that the King piece (Meruem) apparently actually does have to die after all (because of the Rose's poison). However, immediately after beating Meruem using Kokoriko (symbolizing his imminent death), Komugi and Meruem start one final game together, a game that they never finish. 1-5-1 Black King -> 9-5-1 White Lieutenant General, I believe, or something to that extent. Immediately afterwards, they die together, leaving on the board Meruem's one black piece and Komugi's single white piece, together in Gungi forever. This represents that the two were always united through Gungi, and will continue to be together even after death, undisturbed and united for all eternity. Meruem places his piece down, symbolizing his death, and then Komugi responds by placing her piece down next to his, showing that she is perfectly willing to die at his side.. The black screen/black panels in the manga show that the Rose's poison has made Meruem go blind. That's why he has to keep asking Komugi if she's still there, because he can't see her anymore. This is ironic because his name means "the light that illuminates/shines upon all". He even got some godlike light-related photon-based powers before his death, allowing him to fulfill his name. In addition, as they are playing in the bunker before their deaths, Meruem sees a blinding light radiating from Komugi as she "reverses his reversal", making her "the light that illuminates even the all-powerful light". Despite being far weaker (and blind to boot), her light shined far brighter than his. Then, as he dies, Komugi holds him and feels his head, allowing her to finally "see" or know what his face is like. Thus, as they die, Meruem joins Komugi in blindness as she joins him in death. Meruem can finally see what Komugi has been seeing all along, and knows what it feels like to be blind like her, and Komugi finally knows his face, allowing each to understand the other more as they fade away (the OST used during their death scene is called "Understanding").

Jessica Sutherland

Good set of episodes and can't wait for the next few sets of One Piece and JoJo

Icy

The main villain of the saga dies holding the hand of a blind girl who, curiously, could see in him something more than evil. No epic final battle, no meeting with the protagonist, just a story and a beautiful ending for a villain with an incredible development. This is what differentiates this shonen from the others.

The timing! Got my selfmade lasagna ready in 10min, setting myself infront of the pc then and watching this ;D

Jeffreyg

I can’t sleep until I watch this.
