Who are these Jyuuni Shin (12 signs of the Zodiac)? These 11 shady individuals at the end of the chapter.

I only counted eleven on the last page, but I was wondering if they were the Jyuuni Shin (The Zodiac)as well.



Well, it's true that there are 11 of them but I bet Netero is also a member of the Jyuuni Shin and since he's dead...pretty much explains the 11 figures.



Also, if you look back at the 3rd figure from the far left (if my memory is not really juggled up with all of the hiatuses of Hunter X Hunter)... I really bet that figure is Ging.

Literally just finished the arc, I cried like a little bitch when Meruem and Komugi died.  The blank pages didn't piss me off at all, in fact I thought it was kinda beautiful and symbolic since Komugi is blind.



I really really liked the arc, probably my favorite in the series (or maybe equal with the hunter exam arc)



Also the origins of the Queen will surely come into play at some point in the future I think. Since we never learnt who she came into existence and how she got injured when she first washed up.

Yikes, this makes Kubo's backgrounds look god-like.



Regardless, I figured the author just wanted to wrap up the past arc as soon as possible without starting anything new.

I loved those black pages.

I'm gonna assume some people are thinking this way a way to waste pages this was so to speak an arc closer and opener. I'll admit for a second their I'm like huh?



It's a way to have a finale to the King's death. One thing I can say is I love Togashi and his narrative side. So I'm guessing Ging could make an appearance. Even two star hunters not so much three star. But a new arc begins.



Despite what many think Chimera Ant Arc to me is my favorite if you read it in one go (without the hiatuses) it's done very well. It's technically Gon and Killua's first job as Hunters. It shows the true dark side of being a Hunter. People die even those close to you but you're not considered a hero in any way recognized nor or you honored killed on the job. Mentally for their age I'm surprised how it was handled. I would have been crushed mentally at that age as strong as I was at 12.

i was reading bleach at the same time and for a second i thought those blank pages are kubo's work again.i guess Yoshihiro got too excited about those 2-3 pages with good arts (compared to previous chapters) and decided that he should do blank pages for the rest...

I thought that was it last ch ..

a lot of page wasting... I would give this 0/10 if not for the last 2 pages

Amazing chapter

A beautiful ending to an amazing arc. I love how complex the conflict with the chimera ants became.

What a retarded fucking arc. I can't even believe that it belongs to HxH. It contradicts so many things in HxH mood and style. Asspulls, powerups, unnecessary/pointless plot developments, focus on trivial characters, pseudo psychological bullshit, gay shit. While I loved the final 2 pages, this arc is just one huge ass disappointment. I'm so glad, I just read the manga and didn't continue my wait for the anime.



It's so fucking beyond me how can someone say this is better than the Yorknew arc in a non sarcastic way.



4.5/10 for the arc. What a waste of time..

I didn't felt sad or anything after reading this chapter. I don't feel any sympathy for Mereums death even though he was an awesome villain.



R.I.P Netero



5/5 for the whole Chimaera Ant arc.



It was an awesome read because I planned on reading this like over 5 years ago but the art kinda drew me off but I'm glad I got over it.

I'm with the group that enjoyed the chimera ant arc, and I didn't hate this chapter as well. The first eight or so pages were effective in giving you the idea that the king did die, and I still think that if it wasn't for the hiatuses people wouldn't be so sure it was bad.



That said, I think it's worth noting that the Jyunni Shin are based on the chinese zodiac and not the western one.
