Hunter X Hunter: Chimera Ant Arc

Recent episode of Hunter X Hunter certainly left a gloomy end to one of the most exciting plots we’ve ever seen in history. There have been some disturbing scenes, cool fights and an unexpected love story. So, read on for this story really rocked but spoilers be warned.

Bloody Start

So the arc began DEADLY.

Perhaps Mr. Yoshihiro Togashi paid homage to Hannibal Lecter’s infamous brain-eating scene?

Then the unfortunate fate of our protagonist’s mentor. . .

Then some tasty human meat. Can’t say you weren’t expecting this.

 

Priceless Expressions

This guy was so scared that he aged a hundred years later on.

Poor wolf lost all his hair. Guess that’s what happens when someone threatens to eat you.

 

Mean As Move

Old chairman really kicked ass.

 

In the end, it was all about LOVE

Must admit, it was one good closure.

I’m just a bit tired… I think I’ll sleep just a little.. okay? Do you think you could hold onto my hand?

Komugi? Are you there?

I’ll be awake soon, okay? So until then, would you stay by my side?”

 

There’s so much more to this manga but one thing that really impresses us is how it gives all characters a moment to shine. No hero always saves the day here. Readers are shown each individual’s perspective, how and why they make certain decisions. In fact, most of them were exceptionally logical. Kudos Mr. Togashi !

Highly recommended fellow Otakus!

 

So Otaku, what did you think of the latest episode?
