I love the visual symbolism of Netero's eyes going black and empty, like those of an ant to mirror how blurred the line between man and ant had become in that moment.
There's honestly a whole lot more meaning to it than you can really even say or type. It really comes down to what he said "you really know nothing of the bottomless mallas within the human heart" We humans being the only ones experiencing free will; and the endless pain, suffering, intense emotions, the trillions of us who have ever died with unanswered questions we spent our whole lives trying to find, putting blood sweat and tears into desires, strength, love, hate, failures and success. Free will; something incomprehensible to an ant but brand new to this one. In that instant Netero showed him everything of what truly comes with the gift of free will and how we're billions of years experienced, truly how far and powerful we've come since the beginning of time. Showing him in that instant truly how far the gap is between them not as individuals but species, and Mureum realized he truly was an ant to a man, and that he truly was only born yesterday. Or maybe it was just straight up a "In that moment he realized, he had fucked up." Kind of thing and I just think too much
@@deadboy3646 funny thing, we apparently haven't even reached a trillion humans yet, I think the total number of humans, at least in recorded history, only spans a little over 100 billion.
I also love that it wasn't the explosion that killed but the radiation left from it, it shows why his philosophy about brute force being the biggest strength was wrong.
To be fair the explosion left him on the brink, a carbonized, limbless torso barely clinging to consciousness, If his royal guards had not found him he would have been done for. Which of course makes it even better when he is revived, gets this massive Dragon Ball Z-esque power up...and then drops dead anyways due to the poison.
Malice to me sounds better and more representative of the evil inherent in humanity, the crux that gave creation to atomic weaponry. Plus this was the first episode I saw of the show as it aired on Toonami, lol.

@@susie1175 That turned out to be true too, as it was not just a bomb it was also a poison which made sure to kill the survivors and also the people who come in contact with them… The ants were never that evil. In reality too humans have produced a lot of such weapons and most of them are banned
@@pck85 I mean, I think it's pretty obvious that the ants were more evil. They were all on board with trying to enslave the entire human population lol. The problem was that Meruem underestimated the POTENTIAL for how malicious human beings can be. He was ignorant to the fact we've already been murdering each other for tens of thousands of years, to the point we're now capable of killing milliions of people in seconds. In terms of physical prowess the ants were clearly superior, but in terms of hate and malice and desire for revenge they were outmatched. Humans will find a way to kill you even if it means killing themselves - think Gon.
"This is going to detonate the second your heart stops beating" Geez, imagine if Netero was just lying around at the Hunters Association HQ and has a heart attack. The city would be gone.
That's a common error : the bomb wasnt in Netero's body (heart). Only the detonator was in his body and would activate when his heart stops. The bomb was in the site they went to. That place was already known for mass destruction weapons tests.
@@louayker4249 The bomb actually was surgically implanted into him. They make the point that the bomb is so small that it's possible to do that. He took Meureum to the testing site to ensure there would be no other casualties.
I love how the King acts like he's still playing Gungi and he got checkmated but Netero killing himself to blow up the nuke is the equivalent of someone realizing they are about to lose so they flip the board
Not really , I think the existence of the king itself is a cheat in a way or another, the ants ( esp the king ) only evolved thanks to the countless humans they've consumed .

@Jordanne Shirley there is a logic to that though. Netero said it was like 50+ years since he was in his prime, and while he does have bodhisattva which is really powerful, he also straight up said "not good, that one looks stronger than me" in reference to pitou, which Adult Gon literally turned to paste in one swing when he got serious.
Nah, it's the morality, Who replaced with self-preservation instinct, use to Wish the worse evilness thing to their follow men like extincion, believing gods. Humans with have empathy and compassion with other species, but with their similar, they are cruel and evil.
"Good" is extremely relative in Hunter x Hunter, one could contest Meruem was good by the end of this arc whereas the humans were the monsters. A loootttttt of the hunters for example have extremely ambiguous morality. Netero used his power to cast down the weak and promoted strength out of selfish desire to find an opponent. He also promoted Pariston to VP sheerly for a fun adversary, under which 10 times as many hunters went missing.
Viral-_-Army for real, I loved Netero, he seemed like such a nice, awesome old dude, but when I saw how he declined Meruem’s offer to chat just for a CHALLENGE (!?!?) and then THIS.

To be fair this wasn’t a man trying to avoid the suffering of life but instead wished to indulge in the chaos of combat. For all of his devotion and dedication he worshiped the art of violence.
After re-watching this, I realized that Netero could have infused his Nen with the bombs poison to create a stronger, and longer lasting effect. That skull and the Nen emanating from the coldest line in history, could be Netero's postmortem Nen condition being met.
Other animes/mangas would have some long speech as the old man thought about his past and his pupils and the people he loved, talking about how he was sacrificing himself for them while dying with a gentle smile and sad music playing. Then there's Hunter X Hunter. A monster disguised as an old man, whose only interest is defeating his opponent by any means. His death isn't a noble sacrifice. His death is just something that feels so easy to him because his years of devoting himself to this kind of thing has made him indifferent to his own death. And it's not through skill or the power of love or friendship or courage that wins the battle, but the unending malice and destructive potential of humans.

Well that arms race and the love and desires to want to defend it and to work together when it truly counted (against a common enemy).
A really nice detail I like is that at 0.27 mark we can see Meruem's pupils dilating, which is a sign of fight or flight instinct or an adrenaline rush.
If you have to pick one or the other, Malice is the right way to go. They could have done a combination like, "Ant king, did you know humanity's evolution is infinite when motivated by malice?" or "Ant king, did you know the malice that lives within humans is why we evolve?". Something along those lines. Given the double meaning, a translation that used both evolution and malice would have captured Togashi's intent better imo.
@@FffFff-qr9xs Togashi used both 悪意, which is literally malice, and an accompanying 進化, which is evolution, seen in the manga. What is said in the original Japanese is "shinka", the pronunciation of "evolution", but he ties both terms together. Humanity evolves quickly to propel forward, like with scientific advancement and the Industrial Revolution. With those also comes the creation of technologies meant to kill massive numbers of people in the quickest amount of time. As humanity evolves further and quicker, they also gain new modes to inflict pain and suffering (malice) on everything around them that's perceived as a threat.
It's crazy how as soon as Netero came into contact with Meruem he had already won, all the rest was him trying to take the less human lives along with him
Jo guys, I just wanna mention the spiritual content Togashi is showing here. We know already the many buddhist "easter eggs" that togashi puts all over HxH. He wants to show netero as a Enlightement beeing here. Siddharta Gautama or the Buddha thaught that you can't find a I, that everything changes and that everything you are right now will change completly ( at least when you die) Thats why the one who is Enlightement is in a state of complete selflessness (the word itslef literaly explains it) and compassion. Netero goes to a battle where He knows he will die fights as long as he can than sacrifices himself literally saying i meet you in hell if there is one that means he doesn't give a fuck about his fate.
“I’ll see you in hell, if there is one.”
- The guy who used to pray 10,000 times daily

Suicide bombing to kill a single person part too
The narrator: 🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥
Thank you so very much for the dub.
when he stabbed his own chest then the quiet guitar started playing to the beat of his heart God damn is this whole scene perfect
To think the only thing that could beat merum was a bomb and the after affects of the bomb
Its was checkmate the second Meruem intended to dominate the human race.
That was the intimidation of humanities total and distilled malice that only comes after ever escalating centuries of cruel seizures and Hatred-fueled retaliation. Cycled over and over: evolving our capabilities each and every time until we destroyed the very foundations of reality the atom… whatever it took to win, to make them pay for all they’ve done, to make anyone else who dared to think twice before sending more of our people to die or threaten my life my wealth! And the sick but addictive Catharsis of being successful at it. Dominance either for selfish conquest or to defend and make way for a selfless nation it didn’t matter; it was all aimed at one insignificant bug. It’s unfair that we had such a head start but you know life isn’t fair unless we decide and at that moments we decided to make life as hellish as possible for that idiot who threatened everyone. All or nothing was the term the king set the game too. Not our fault he Lost. Humanities done it all before and honed itself against its self for centuries. The torture to get the needed Intel, the enslaved to feed the war machines, the conniving of engineers and generals and politicians, multiplied by both sides hating the other enough to want to do even more to their enemies. Whatever moral side one claimed, few if any could honestly say they didn’t HATE those who stood in their way or threatened their loved ones. Their results spoke for themselves. After we get violated it’s only natural to want see the abuser in total agony. We suffered all of that to make this much progress and now some new kid on the block wants to rip that all away? All of that Hate was what I think was being focused at Marowin. By Marowin threatening the species as a whole, he earned ire of the selfish and selfless alike multiplied by the millions by the nen of all of our ingrained living propensity for it and our ancestor’s cursing his name for daring to destroy everything they worked and suffered and died to achieve. That was what made the king feel fear. That incarnate was what ultimately killed him. That weather we like it or not was what ultimately saved us from extinction. Well that arms race and the love and desires to want to defend it and to work together when it truly counted (against a common enemy).
Now that's a bug bomb
Hunter x Hunter Powerscaling returns to reality
Normal Person
A really nice detail I like is that at 0.27 mark we can see Meruem's pupils dilating, which is a sign of fight or flight instinct or an adrenaline rush.
The Narrator rocked the show
*"Just then, the king felt true fear for the first time..."*
Meruem watching as Netero stabs his own heart (he’s cooked)
@Harry-lolhunter x hunter
Bruh I spoiled myself but I aint even mad. I’m just more hyped.
Neteros on his literal death bed and he decides, “ight imma drop the coldest quote in anime, peace out”
“You know nothing of the bottomless malice within the human heart”😈
What elemental battle grounds be like when a fire user uses hells core be like:
0:26 POV: You dont feel your phone in your pocket
If you have to pick one or the other, Malice is the right way to go. They could have done a combination like, "Ant king, did you know humanity's evolution is infinite when motivated by malice?" or "Ant king, did you know the malice that lives within humans is why we evolve?". Something along those lines. Given the double meaning, a translation that used both evolution and malice would have captured Togashi's intent better imo.
Togashi used malice, with one or two different words that are just different words and mean the same
@@FffFff-qr9xs Togashi used both 悪意, which is literally malice, and an accompanying 進化, which is evolution, seen in the manga. What is said in the original Japanese is "shinka", the pronunciation of "evolution", but he ties both terms together. Humanity evolves quickly to propel forward, like with scientific advancement and the Industrial Revolution. With those also comes the creation of technologies meant to kill massive numbers of people in the quickest amount of time. As humanity evolves further and quicker, they also gain new modes to inflict pain and suffering (malice) on everything around them that's perceived as a threat.
Meruem: Ah yes, I was Fucked from the very beginning (proceeds to get Nuked)
oh my god finally someone has posted the full explosion
thank u
That guitar riff. I have to learn it.
1:02
“You know nothing of the bottomless malice within the human heart” that line was a BAR
Netero is just a GOD facts PERIOD.
He said this in the manga, which is the source material; this is the canon one lol
it honest about what humanity's greatest strength is
WTF? BOOM!
The narrator in Dub is really good 🔥
It's crazy how as soon as Netero came into contact with Meruem he had already won, all the rest was him trying to take the less human lives along with him
The look on Meruem’s face still makes the hair on my neck stand on end
The dub narrator is so dope
Didnt even know hxh was on adult swim omg
One moment, I’ll always remember from this anime.
Me : building a dirt house in Minecraft
creeper:
Such beautiful democracy
One of my most favourite parts in any anime this is deep af
Man that narrator is a BEAST THE WAY HE HAS WITH WORDS IS UNMATCHED
the narrator really cooked
The narrator will always be the best hxh character
I just realized the narrators voice in the dub has to be the same narrator as the one from the game crackdown
Jo guys, I just wanna mention the spiritual content Togashi is showing here. We know already the many buddhist "easter eggs" that togashi puts all over HxH. He wants to show netero as a Enlightement beeing here. Siddharta Gautama or the Buddha thaught that you can't find a I, that everything changes and that everything you are right now will change completly ( at least when you die) Thats why the one who is Enlightement is in a state of complete selflessness (the word itslef literaly explains it) and compassion. Netero goes to a battle where He knows he will die fights as long as he can than sacrifices himself literally saying i meet you in hell if there is one that means he doesn't give a fuck about his fate.
That scene was just too powerfull !
Bro endured godlike techniques with ease, but still dies from a nuke.
All the spiritualism in the world can’t endure mans ability to be cruel.
You know the dark contract gon made what if Nogi did the same thing if he did Meruem would be screwed doe
Lol, imagine he had somehow managed to defeat Meruem and then forgot to have the bomb taken out.
Idk but netero rlly do be looking scary and like a meme both
The dub narrator is more epic in dub ngl
0:25 so this is where this sound came from
