Meruem and Komugi Love Story in Hunter X Hunter Still makes me cry every time I watch it! One of the best villain story. This is, personally, one of the best moments in HxH.

I always thought the eagle attacking Komugi was so random.... until now. At 6:30 Meruem unknowingly sends the eagle to attack Komugi when he manifests his tainted nen with murderous intent. The eagle takes his command and goes do his bidding. But when he sees the manifestation of his evil, the eagle attacking Komugi, he destroys it without a second thought. His instinct is now wired to protect her. Respect for Togashi-sensei.

Togashi has successfully shocked fans around the world with this brilliant duo. Picking a being of astronomical power combined with sharp-witted thinking equivalent to the speed of light. Meruem-osama was bloodthirsty and ruthless to no end, his words are absolute and one dimensional. Yet Togashi had used Komugi’s hands to fold this one-dimension sheet of paper into a beautiful light, giving him multiple dimensions of meaning, forgiving, self-control and love. Komugi was the least qualified character that fans expected to make a profound affect and Togashi took advantage of this. There are many animes that touched people’s hearts worldwide, but very few can bring them to tears.

This description is gorgeous. Thank you for writing it! I especially like the imagery of her shaping him like origami - transforming a flat, boring piece of paper into "light" aka "Meruem" - the name his queen-mother gave to him.

You skipped out a great part of their love story. The king played a powerful move against her and named it his own. She told him that she also came up with that move before and named it. That it was her baby. Then someone used her baby against her, so she had to kill her baby. At their last game, she played her baby, and the king mimic her move to kill it... but she came up with a completely new move to save her baby. Their baby.

Meruem was too murderous. His plan was to kill 99 % of humans, letting the "worthy" ones live. And it was he, in his youthful arrogance, who would decide who lives and dies. And how many had he killed already? I get that the love story is touching, and everyone loves a redemption arc, but him becoming King? Enormous risk.

Hunter Hunter is not my favorite anime, but when I saw the chimera ant arc there was only one thing I was waiting to see Komugi and Meruem, to be honest when I saw Meruem I thought If he is just a normal villain character, but when Komugi came everything changed I became concerned about Meruem's development and every episode I only waited for one thing Namely the scene from Komugi and Meruem, when they both died, I couldn't stop crying to be honest, my scene of death for both of them is the only scene in the anime that makes I cried a lot I really hoped that they both could live happily unfortunately that never happened. Even during the last few episodes for this arc I felt that it was humans who were the villains along with the royal guards even though not all of them.
@Dogedoge337 Жыл бұрын
Not all heroes are pure light. In the chimera arc, we see darkness within heroes, like Gon and Netero. Especially the latter. He was sent to fight, even sacrifice himself for mankind if it came to that. Though he is enjoying his battle with Meruem, the encounter is full of dark imagery. He showed Meruem just how terrifying humans can be. Not to mention how Gon is seemingly driven by his hatred entirely for half of the arc. The anime really, REALLY drives that point home with how he's drawn with these thick, frantic lines that makes him look really primal in a few occasions (during the countdown, when Netero signals him where is Pitou, and at the time of his transformation, off the top of my head.) Likewise, you see the ants showing their human-like emotions and ambitions, and these causing their structure to crumble. Meruem's being the most notable development, with the budding feelings towards Komugi, building up to that wonderfully bittersweet end. But the Royal Knights weren't completely irredeemable. Sure, they are still the villains to the story, but they were just doing what they believed was the best for their king, each serving him in their own ways. Another thing to note is that time Youpi spared Knuckle, and he felt very conflicted about it. Everything gets mixed together into a beautiful chaos.

Neither is mine, but this love story hitted me right in the heart. So beautiful and pure, so unexpected in an anime full of very DISTURBING adults near young boys... Meruem and Komugi goes easily in my top three romances of all time.

dude king/meruem and komugi deserve to be together like the way he kills the hawk whil attacking her the way that he didn't kill her the way he didn't punish her the way he listen to her the way he plays for her the way he talks to her the way he held her while ashe was hurt the way how he protected her the way he wants to see her the way he cares for her the way he remembered her the way he wants her to call his name and the way how he wants to held her hand for the freaking last time he change for her and I think 1 person can change a person's life and meruem and komugi is an example THIS IS WHAT I CALL LOVE PERIODT

I remember wanting to stop watching Hunter x Hunter when I got a few episodes into the Chimera Ant arc. But a friend who had already seen it told me to give it a chance because it gets better. I am happy that I stuck with it and the rest of the series. I have to say, Meruem and Komugi provided me with such a moving and lovely experience, and Meruem`s character arc was amazing. He became more human, and finally showed his humanity, while at the same time Gon was losing his. Fantastic writing and a bittersweet love story.

I do love the Meruem/Komugi arc, but the episodes were quite a slog to get through, as these moments were around 1/40, the other 39/40 being one single portion of a fight taking an entire episode. They stretched it beyond reason.

I believe that Komugi's ability here worked the same as Kurapika's during the York New City arc. Kurapika's ability is amplified greatly as long as it is against the Troupe, but Komugi's ability is greatly amplified because losing means her death.

Togashi really smart person. I think that the ant's side is the best. This is a legend episode from the end of the battle to the end. Personally, I think Togashi is the best character ever made. I liked it because it wasn't just a munchkin villain, but a three-dimensional character capable of mental growth. It was too fraudulent, so it was a shame to leave early. In the end, the last moment was more humane than anyone. Just beautifull

Togashi did not have the right to do this, but he did anyway, and it was one of the most, if not the most, beautiful arc I've ever seen in anime history. Togashi is just built differently, quite literally since his back is the only thing that keeps HxH from being even bigger than already is.

I cry every time I watch it. Even though I know it's like that, I still want to watch it. I have watched many anime series, but for me, perhaps the love story between Meruem and Komugi is the most beautiful love story I have ever seen. Not a single love word was said but I still felt their love for each other. Even the more times I watched it, the more details I noticed. Meruem changed, he said he wouldn't repeat it but in the end he always repeated that Komugi are you there. At the last moment Meruem was probably blind, Komugi touched him as a way to see him. The blood stains on Komugi's body told me that she must have been in a lot of pain, but she still replied to Meruem that I was always here. Thank you author for creating such a beautiful love story.

One of the most frustrating I have ever been, but when Meruem finally remembered Komugi, I felt so much relief that I even forgot my frustrations over this arc (many internal monologues/narrations mid fight, I'm impatient asf) and Pouf being the biggest asshole in my eyes. The end and build up was so beautiful, watching this without expecting anything, but it woke and shook my heart. I love these characters so much, it's so complex but really wonderful.

Yeah, the Meruem/Komugi arc was beautiful and was largely what kept me going, but damn was it a slog to get to the episodes that actually had any impact on that arc at all. If they cut 90 % of the episodes in that arc, there would probably still be 5 % too much remaining. Puh 😮💨

If Meruem didn't find komugi, I think he would survive with the post death nen.. as long as he really wants to play again with komugi.. They died so peacefully with all the love they could give at the end.. Meruem saving a couple minute to hold her hand.. he was shy.. and afraid of her reaction because he is not human.. but Komugi touched his face tenderly and hold his hand strongly.. To say don't worry, you protected me, you saved me and no one was so nice with me..a poor deaf girl.. This is true love.. such a masterpiece !

The genius of Togashi's work is that the story might follow the classic "weaker gets stronger to fight the most powerful opponent", but adds a twist at the very end where that formula no longer exists. The king might have died from poison, but the person who flipped his world upside down from a ruthless ruler to someone with compassion and love was non other than a blind girl who knew nothing but to play gungi

This is one of the most heartfelt scenes ive ever watched. The journey these two went through to get to that ultimate ending is some of the best character building ive ever seen in a show. In the end you realize the king was just a clueless “human” thrown into human emotions and realities forced to grasp these concepts, which is why he chose to do it in a game first. And komugi serves as a soft refresher to us all that we mustnt judge based on abilities but rather character and our hearts. This is one of the most melancholic yet gorgeous relationships ive ever bared witness to.
