2018-10-05 14:20:33 +0000 UTCWell, they already speculated that the Queen had some human in her, so there is a chance, that while she only used Magical Beasts to create him, some of her own human DNA was passed down. On top of that, we have already seen magical beasts that can think and reason, and with the Kikoro (sp?) in the very begining of the series. So magical beasts are not necessarily just mindless beasts like regular animals.

That's not a magnanimous relovutionary of any kind, and even assuming the best and that applies to all non-compatants, the death toll of a massive war between an army of Chimera Ants and the human nations of the world would total in the billions. It's a path that's completely avoided if Netero takes Meruem out here, which is what I believe he focuses on to take away the guilt of killing another individual who could do good things.

2018-10-04 23:37:26 +0000 UTCI didn't even think of that! Man Hunter x Hunters ability to foreshadow is fantastic.

2018-10-04 23:25:53 +0000 UTCI agree thats Netero's main concern but pretty much any negative thing in the operation could be blame shifted to the Hunters Association. Plus it's a good excuse in intervene in East Gorteau and remove the potential threat of a foreign dictatorship.

2018-10-04 23:22:51 +0000 UTCOh it definitely is too black and white a viewpoint and I think he knows that to an extent and is pushing himself to see it that way so his heart isn't swayed. While I agree there is the possibility for great good and I personally would take Meruem up on it I can't blame Netero for not wanting to take the risk. After all if you step back from the time and context we have had in the story Mereum does look like a young hot headed idealist who wants to change the world and as good as that is I imagine in his 100 + years Netero has seen a lot of good intention-ed revolutionaries who ended just causing more damage and getting crushed by human greed and hubris.

2018-10-04 23:20:07 +0000 UTCThe road to hell is paved with good intentions, Meruem.

2018-10-04 22:03:14 +0000 UTCAlso im pretty sure Netero has already said he is weaker than Neferpitou now, so that implies in his prime, shits ez. gg.

2018-10-04 21:13:27 +0000 UTCIn this episode: Shenron drops off Cell and Master Roshi (the true victor of the Cell Games) for their final battle in a deserted wasteland.

Jacky Lin
2018-10-04 19:50:00 +0000 UTCNah, I agree with Caleb's way of putting it. Netero's division of humanity vs beasts is too clean-cut and simplistic. It completely ignores all the possibilities that could've brought a lot of good to humanity.

Travis Saar
2018-10-04 19:04:23 +0000 UTCIm pretty sure what Netero was talking about when he talked about taking the blame was more along the lines of the blame for genociding an intelligent species rather than collateral damage.

2018-10-04 18:57:57 +0000 UTCChimera Ants Arc's protagonist is without a doubt Meruem lol.

2018-10-04 18:52:54 +0000 UTC3rd hand attack.......3rd slot?

2018-10-04 18:36:05 +0000 UTCI bet a 3rd slot will be announced when we have 3 episodes left

2018-10-04 18:31:13 +0000 UTCThe risk is definitely far too great from Netero's perspective. I think they specifically chose to show the scene of Netero receiving his mission to show the heartless bureaucratic power humans can hold, indicating that even if the King became fully human he may still end up a monster. While I can't see it as Netero being truly at fault I think there is some small level of pride and selfishness to be seen in his interpretation that Mereum insulted his resolve when that was not his intention.
Watcherdude65
2018-10-04 18:18:13 +0000 UTCDefinitely a great call back and indicative of Netero's focus on resolve and how important a quality it is to him. Reminds me a bit specifically of Gon's match with Hanzo in terms of the difference of ability.

2018-10-04 18:14:30 +0000 UTCI had always assumed that Youpi was the result of multiple magical beasts all fused together (Thus his shifting nature) and still had some human sprinkled in so to speak, just not to the extent of the other ants. Although that is purely my headcannon.
Watcherdude65
2018-10-04 18:12:38 +0000 UTCwhat i love is that it stated that youpi was made from pure magical beast, yet still talk like a human. i'd love to see the original magical beast, togashi

Yuion
2018-10-04 17:49:31 +0000 UTCthe thing is, what netero trying to say was the king is wavering(ant to human), not completely, and those 2 sides are incompatible. how come? u cant have a rapist that scream feminsim right (bad analogy i know). since neither of those 2 is dominant yet, he realized that he gotta "finish" it fast, cuz if he swayed just a little for the "unsure" thing.. humanity is in great danger. and it doesnt matter if he doesnt know the king well yet, no matter what, meruem is still chimera ant, which u probably forgot what their natural behavior in the first place
Zainali
2018-10-04 17:38:30 +0000 UTC3 seconds away from a Netero/Meruem fight (perhaps)....3rd slot?
Nox
2018-10-04 17:26:11 +0000 UTCAnother thing to look at for the fight with Netero and Meruem is Netero set the condition where Meruem has to beat him without killing him. This is just like the hunter exam fights that Netero set up earlier in the series. Pretty interesting if you ask me.
Evan Mayes
2018-10-04 17:16:39 +0000 UTCwell at least we have a sense of scale for the destruction now.
Gunnar Bucher
2018-10-04 17:09:57 +0000 UTCI liked when Pouf noticed that Youpi has changed and not just by appearance. The reason why Youpi is my favorite is because he is showing a great amount of human emotions. But Youpi is only made from magical beasts. To me this means Youpi has changed (evolved) the most and greatest among all the chimera ants even the king.
