A lot of stuff happened, so I’ll just go over the main stuff. Ikalgo the octopus switched sides and became Killua’s friend, and Meleoreon switched sides as well and became Gon’s friend. Gon, Killua, Morel, Shoot, Knuckle, Ikalgo, and Meleoreon all entered the palace taken over by Meruem, the Chimera Ant King, and his three royal guards Neferpitou, Shaiapouf, and Menthuthuyoupi with the help of Knov’s teleportation Nen abilities. Shoot and Knuckle faced off against Menthuthuyoupi, and Shoot did some good damage while Knuckle’s APR ability was added on to Menthuthuyoupi. Eventually Shoot was withered down though and ended up in the hospital. By the time Menthuthuyoupi had almost gone bust from using too much aura to seal his Nen, Knuckle had to release APR from him or Morel would have died. Shaiapouf was a clever one and plotted to kill Komugi, the girl Meruem loved to play the game Gungi with. He could never beat her, but he loved playing the game with her until the end. Killua’s new ability, Godspeed, allowed him to help out at various places by being faster than any of the enemies. Palm was found to be reborn as a Chimera Ant, but Killua helped her regain her memories of her life as Palm. This was after the chairman of the hunter association, Netero, had fought Meruem in the desert and had lost, but used the Little Rose technique to set off a bomb inside him that took out Meruem, the Chimera Ant King. Shaiapouf and Menthuthuyoupi arrived and sacrificed a large portion of their bodes to revive Meruem though, and he became more powerful than he originally was. It was later found out that the ants had become poisoned and Shaiapouf and Menthuthuyoupi both died from this. Neferpitou was defeated by Gon in a crazy, angry awakened state for killing Kite, which greatly upset Gon. Meruem was poisoned as well and eventually died playing Gungi with the girl Komugi, the only thing he had fun doing in life. Komugi is presumed to have passed with him. The result from all the battles and devastation that took place are that the countries of NGL and East Gorteau have been divided by the three other remaining countries in the continent, Gon is in the hospital and needs the best of help just to be able to make it, and the twelve Zodiacs will have to meet to discuss the election process for the next chairman of the hunter association. It was overall a great arc filled with good character development, great fight scenes, and a nicely written story. I’m definitely looking forward to wrapping up the show with the last 11 Chairman Election arc episodes I have to watch, but I’ll do that later. Once I finish the show I’ll give a recap/post my thoughts about it here.
