I don't think Netero died for nothing exactly.. He killed the King once (he was resurrected by pure luck) and in the end he took the King and two of the generals with him. Fighting the King again would be very typical of a shonen plot, and let's be honest, he was so overpowered that i don't think anyone could beat him. Ditto. I dont know why people dislike this arc so much I think it was a lot better than Greed Island.



Also anyone else thinks Togashi came off hiatus and rushed the ending of the chimera arc just so it could be animated? Now the anime has enough chapters to go on for probably 2 or 3 years and Togashi can just sit down and rake in the money.

The "swept under the rug" expression at the end of the chapter kinda made me smile, because it feels a bit like Togashi did that with the arc and the conclusion.



Let's face it, Chimera Ants started horribly (ESPECIALLY if you were reading the first chapters when they were released in Jump, and Togashi was sick, basically letting his 2 years old daughter draw for him). It started to pick up a bit after the first hiatus, what with the Spiders having their moment and the plot starting to make sense again.



But let's face it, Togashi was obviously tired of the story after a while, and the foundations were too shaky to give a satisfactory conclusion. What about, well, basically everyone fucking involved ? Was it really worth it spending all those pages showing us what happened to the lobster-man and the little girl (I don't even remember her in the story) when we have no idea what happened to Knuckle, Gon, and all the others ? What about the remains of the Royal Guard ?

(Or, if you want to be a bitch, what about the second child of the Queen ? What about Leolio and Kurapika saying they were coming as back-up ? Guess everyone forgot about that, but can't really blame it)



It's not a bad thing to give a few details about what happens to secondary characters, but 20 pages dedicated only to 5 of them, especially when they are this non-relevant, feels like a waste, especially after all this hiatus.



Now, I really hope Togashi rushed that because he could not wait to start the next arc, which obviously will be good and please, NOT interrupted every six months again. I have still faith in him, but he really should not mess that one up.

It has finally ended. Omg I have been waiting for 5 years for this :/

So I have a feeling adding a response to an old thread is taboo, but frankly I had to share how glad I am that this arc is over!  I am glad that every annoying overpowered ant is dead.



I do have to say I thought the scene with the two ants in the village was very touching.  I did not find it unimportant in the least.



Now on to a more serious question.  Now that palm is an ant, how does she reproduce?  Any ideas?? lol

I don't think Netero died for nothing exactly.. He killed the King once (he was resurrected by pure luck) and in the end he took the King and two of the generals with him. Fighting the King again would be very typical of a shonen plot, and let's be honest, he was so overpowered that i don't think anyone could beat him.

I would prefer much more though to learn what happened to all the Hunters that appeared in this arc than some chimera ants :P
