LMreactions - HH134 Reaction

They could have shaved off like 20 episodes from this arc, maybe combining some of the ant characters into one, and still have this Welfin moment at the end

shame there're a lot of people who get pissed off about that, claiming its anticlimactic. frrr everyday my mind just gets blown at how much better he is than I had thought, recently been watching radman's hxh vids, they're very eye-opening, highly recommended if you wanna be further amazed 👏

so true. instead of a shonen esque battle the antagonist learns the meaning of life. from a conceptual standpoint this is like mount everest. to even go for this as a writer shows just how amazing togashi is.

2024-06-06 14:15:38 +0000 UTC

its become a rorschach test for me of how legit reactions are. ive seen some where people arent even paying attention to it or it just goes over there head. i had high hopes for LM reactions but this and 135 it was so good to see people so emotionally invested a show i love so much..

Edward Worrall

2024-06-06 14:13:24 +0000 UTC

frrr that's why it's the best arc ever, the emerging humanity, the real life parallels, the music, ughhh.. timeless masterpiece

shaiapouf is such a phenomenal villain, man.. no one built like him fr, but would you say he's the true villain? after all, he acts the way he's programmed to act, had he encountered life changing moments tailored to his personality, like pitou did when the king asked her to heal komugi, he might have evolved somewhat?

You have no choice to agree or disagree. It is what it is (an objective fact!). And I am not going off at anyone. This is my usual speaking style.

2024-06-03 23:27:23 +0000 UTC

No offense but is not that deep as to why I can dislike or like a character. Its preference, trying to undermine someone’s opinion because that person doesn’t agree with your understanding or what you think that character is about is quite dumb but go off I guess. You are free to be asinine.

Jack SV

2024-06-03 22:45:13 +0000 UTC

Not really just aimed at you, but most people who don't understand how these stories are written. Characters are representations of your human psyche, not just independent, whole individuals. The royal guards are Mereum's emotional (Pitou), intellectual (Pouf) and biological instincts (Youpi). How can anyone possibly like or dislike any of those characters? It makes no sense. They all serve a purpose within the story and within us. Not liking a character just shows how ignorant, not just you, but most people are when it comes to these sorts of things. Just wanted to point that out!

‘The Word X Is X You’ my easily favourite title of any episode. A poem in just four words. The way Welfin whispers Komugi followed by an explosion of beautiful imagery is easily one of the best moments in all of anime in my opinion. Pouf finally feeling how much Meruem cares for her, and immediately knowing he never really had a chance. Who would have thought in episode 91 that this Chimera ant would tell a fellow ant to try and live a human life? The payoff of this arc really makes it all worth it. I also appreciate Lola acknowledging how the beginning imagery brought her mind to Palestine. I thought the exact same. Children missing limbs, people starving in alleys, whilst the rich and powerful continue to wine and dine, toasting to the destruction of other people. Togashi wrote this arc over a decade ago, but feels just as relevant if not more in its themes and substance.

Hahahaha dawg I wasn’t going to answer mostly because I have a hang over but is truly inspiring what you said about me because I don’t like a character lol

Jack SV

2024-06-02 15:01:44 +0000 UTC

Still blows my mind how useless he was only to luterally come up huge in the end like that game Meruem and Komugi played where " the spy did nothing but changed the whole game"

Karabo

2024-06-02 06:16:07 +0000 UTC

Jack SV. You truly have no idea what you are saying. YOU are Pouf. Pouf is the intellectual, logical side of you that helps you to achieve your goals in society and reality, while being a counter-balance to your emotional side which can become toxic and sometimes suicidal. In this instance, emotion won out in the end and the intellectual side has no choice but to follow and support those emotions. Let it be clear. Without Pouf (your intellectual side) you would be an emotional wreck, locked up in a psychiatric hospital, living a torturous life. Show some god damn respect!!!!

Hassan Lahifi

2024-06-02 04:45:36 +0000 UTC

Pouf: the true villain of this arc. Welfin: the true hero and protagonist. And the best character in HxH.

It spoils heck of a lot but it's a really fun OP. And the show is ending, I feel like watching the OP is part of the farewell.

it literally spoils so much. one raction channel straight up said they wish they didn't watch it.

vvs

2024-06-01 09:38:04 +0000 UTC

Well, his character on the surface level is supposed to be hated, his ending though is nothing but tragic. The only guard that died knowing he failed his duty and hurt his king.

Salvatore

2024-06-01 06:21:55 +0000 UTC

Awesome discussion, feel like the Welfin/Meruem/Pouf encounter is a perfect thematic conclusion to the arc Meruem the baby God standing between two creatures with opposite intentions: One who sees Meruem as a king because of his biological nature while the other would only accept a close friend of his as a king (Pouf would DIE to shape Meruem into the King he wants him to be while Welfin will desperately fight to preserve his own life so he can find his friend) Love that throughout the story friendship has been the candle in the dark: If Gon hadn’t become friends with Killua then Killua wouldn’t have become friends with Ikalgo, Ikalgo wouldn’t have reconnected with Welfin as ants because of their previous friendship as humans and then Welfin wouldn’t have been able to reconnect Meruem to his friendship with Komugi (I also think it’s not a mistake that the arc is set in a fictionalized North Korea, a place known for dictators who force their populace to revere them like Gods. But Meruem is LITERALLY a God with followers who GENUINELY revere him and would give their lives for his sake)

my favorite episode!!

asher wolfe

2024-06-01 02:14:09 +0000 UTC

I think that those two sides of pouf that you talked about has been present from the beginning though in a very diferent way.

Salvatore

2024-06-01 01:47:37 +0000 UTC

that’s exactly the phrase i felt was being implied

Sebastian

2024-06-01 01:44:27 +0000 UTC

Crazy how, after that intro, this whole episode is just the conversation and inner monologues of three chimera ants and it manages to capture the horror and beauty of humanity. One of those episodes of HxH that makes me think it might be the best piece of media ever lol. And one of my favorite discussions of yours too, found myself getting moved all over again.

Payam Sharifi

2024-06-01 01:29:21 +0000 UTC

Yeah I thought something similar too. "But now... he's something else entirely". - is what I had in mind.

ODIS

2024-06-01 01:28:16 +0000 UTC

IMO, Pouf would've been understood if the King would live all of his life playing with Komugi but it's gonna toil away at him slowly and yet cannot do anything about. Unlike if Pitou was in the same situation, she would've been happy as long as Meruem is happy. Since they already watched the next episode. I can say it. Next episode is peak.

Kevin Inoj Perez

2024-06-01 01:23:27 +0000 UTC

Rewatching this and I kind of have the same opinion. Although Im more inclined to say that what the narrator meant was that Meruem was ''neither'' given the fact that in this arc one of the most prevalent themes in this arc is that both humans and ants are capable of the best and of the worst

Guilherme Marques

2024-06-01 00:50:19 +0000 UTC

Next ep is my fav of the whole show. I can’t wait for the reaction!!

Amber

2024-06-01 00:41:56 +0000 UTC

maybe this is a reach but i interpreted the narrator’s last line as meruem transcending both humans and ants. that through remembering komugi and mastering pouf’s ability to read emotions, meruem has obtained an almost omnipotent capacity for empathy and understanding that no other creature has had. immediately he understands welfin, forgives pouf and asks for knuckle and meleoron to be released. but now just as he’s reached an almost godlike benevolence he succumbs to human made poison like some greek tragedy

Sebastian

2024-06-01 00:20:07 +0000 UTC

This is the end for one of the best antagonists of all time.

Salvatore

2024-06-01 00:18:52 +0000 UTC

I love this episode, the visuals when Welffin's brain is cooking are so cool and artistic, and the introduction of the episode as well, I like to say that HxH do a great job of presenting the horrors of the real world.

Atoc

2024-05-31 23:51:20 +0000 UTC

Funnily enough, i believe it's implied that the snot dripping from Welfin's nose is what triggers his thought of Komugi, as the shot hyperfocuses on it. IMO that's kind of brilliant and funny too.

“…Komugi..?”

joshnojoshua

2024-05-31 23:19:19 +0000 UTC

The difference in how pouf reacted to death before and after the "word" just shows how much it impacted his view, i believe that this is the moment he broke through his programming and finally accepted meruem as a person, as it was said in the episode, they share the same feelings, Pouf felt everything meruem did as if komugi was as close to him, previously he knew those emotions existed but he never knew how much they mean to meruem, he thought they were unnecessary but can you imagine sharing this beauitful feeling with the person you love most in the world and at the same time you know you were the one trying to take that away from him ? Pouf already knew he lost before the word was said, if meruem killed him before it he would still hear komugi after, then why was his reaction so different ? how does a person go from proudly dying to crying and asking for punishment?It took him to be literally spiritually bound to meruem to finally understand his true love for komugi and his true identity, in the end he was able to give in for what meruem truly is. There was something he said in the manga that was not here "there was not a reason for my wishes to become true" i think he sees how much his actions caused harm but it's far too late and that breaks him. "the only thing i could do is nod in assent" he was not even punished for what he did due to meruem's evolution and the only thing he can do is nod in assent to his king while crying, his entire life, his purpose, the only person he cares about, the person he was born to protect. He was the only thing keeping his king from this beautiful feeling, the feeling that he shares with him now and knows how much it means. "This, this is... This is how intensly he cares for her".

Salvatore

2024-05-31 23:06:55 +0000 UTC

Love him or hate him, this arc wouldn't have been the same without Pouf. I personally really enjoyed his character

Ngl I was happy when Pouf died. He was super annoying and some people found his character endearing, which good for them but his character for me was the most annoying next to Cheetoh lol. Regarding what the king feels regarding Kogumi….I don’t know if I would called it love, I think it was more like admiration or respect for her. He deeply cares for her or maybe is another type of love since there are many different types of love. That’s something that I always debate with people sometimes but regardless.. I can’t wait for you girls to see the conclusion of this arc.

Jack SV
