Hunter x Hunter Ep 124-126 (WTFF)

the dub is also really good for the final its worth seeing

Whole point of Meruem is that he is genuinely 10x stronger than any human, this episode is meant to show off the difference in nen power but then flips it on it's head by reminding us about how insane human technology is, you don't expect to see a nuke in a shonen battle anime, but it makes perfect sense from a realism standpoint.

Trust Togashi, this arc has one of the best conclusions of all time

Netero was never sure he was gonna win, hence why he brought a nuke with him. This battle was simply to test himself, and for finally being able to go all out against an opponent, that’s why in the end of 125 he said he was greatful for meeting Meurem

Palm is the ultimate form of they suck now but trust me but they get better.

he's not ready

Make sure you finish one of your next watch sessions on episode 131!!!

The narrators last comment that said that the bomb was low budget and compact just proves that the ants were never a threat. If the strongest men user could not beat them they still had man made weapons that constantly keep evolving and would be enough to destroy even the strongest enemy

also hisoka going “I wanna fight the chairman” LMAOOOOO yeah you go try that buddy. Go try that and see how that goes. Come on buddy.

I love the bomb so much It doesn’t matter if you’re a great sage whose studied combat for 120 years. It doesn’t matter if you’re the perfect creature of evolution, an ant with all the traits of the strongest possible organisms Humanity is brutal, cruel, and infinite. No matter what happens, we continue to make worse and worse technology, all because of our obsession with potential and adaptation. One small mass produced bomb is enough to clean away anything that ever made these stories in the first place. Netero’s 120 years of absurd, nonsensical training were nothing compared to cold hard logic from humans in a lab It’s so logical, so realistic and human, that it seems out of place in anime. Just nuke the threat. But truly the way it’s built up by togashi is beautiful

I love that you still think about Knov, nobody ever thinks about Knov 😭 Episode 124 is one of my fave episodes, makes me tear up every time. Just a little tidbit from the manga: Where Netero says, "you know nothing of humanity's infinite potential for evolution", Togashi has it so that the kanji for "evolution" can also mean "malice". Togashi actually does this alot, like the nen ability names! For example, Palm's ability to cover herself in hair for defense is called "Black Widow". That is the actual name. But the kanji used to spell it out or represent it is translated to "Dark Demon Goddess". This way to write/spell is called ateji (当て字).

ahahahahaha.......

I get how you could be underwhelmed by the fight. But that's just how HxH is, it's not your typical shonen and i feel like that's what makes it so special. It's so unpredictable to what might happen.

Netero is an enhancer btw, but his ability is actually so insane for an enhancer, cuz he uses emission, manipulation and transmutation all together for that statue, and the praying motion he has to complete in order to activate the ability would be a downside for a normal nen user, but he trained for it so much it has become his advantage as the king said too

What Netero said at the end also has a double meaning “The bottomless malice within the human heart” and “the infinite potential for human evolution.”

I think whats great about Neteros ability is how he can output that much aura in basically no time, Knuckle was talking about how a nen user can unleash only a certain amount of aura at once, thinking back to Gon charging up jajanken for sooo long, Netero manages to unleash all of his aura in a single attack, in an instant? Thats actually really wild cuz even the king cant move faster than his activation of the ability.

if he thinks this was peak man he isnt ready for the upcoming ones

127 you where lost in the fight because it was not a fight , it was a death penalty in the middle of the peak netero performance. for the first time the monster feared the human and that's epic

You should watch 3 eps next time, absolute cinema there

finally
