You guys do understand that Komugi's a pedophile right? Local teenage girl seduced toddler ant into betraying his species.

Firstly, not believing in him does not stop us from loving him and his work, so that's not evidence. Secondly, although as someone who grew up listening to all kinds of his excuses, I find myself difficult in believing in him, I'm willing to retrieve my words of laziness. It's based on a popular speculation back then and I admit it's inconsiderate. Finally, I'm sorry I'm making this way too serious, but I don't want to give you the wrong impression that it's OK to call someone retarded just because they have a different opinion

If you actually believe that someone who can come up with a story like this is "just lazy", then you have to be literally retarded. Also he mentioned that he's sick many times in his author comments in Shonen Jump, and if "most people" lost faith in him, every HunterxHunter volume he drops wouldn't be at the top of every weekly sales chart.

There is no confirmed info proving that, it's just 'someone knew him said so'. Since he had been quite famous from early on using all kinds of excuses such as 'family trip', 'taking care of his baby', 'doing research' or 'lack of inspiration', most of people don't believe in him. But I stand corrected if there is actual evidence.

For your record, Togashi does have a disease that stops him from continuing the story from time to time, and it's called laziness.

I'm so glad that you two cried just as I did when I watched this episode for the 1st time, and the 2nd time, and the 3rd time, and the 4th time, and......Ok, until the 10th time

Usually they upload pretty early in the morning so I don't think it will.

Will Thanksgiving affect the upload schedule?

Yes, that's the point. It's why Meruem kept asking if Komugi's still around.

The next arc still has great closure. It brings Killua and Gon's actual character arc to its appropriate end.

Correct me if I'm misinterpreting your first comment. I think it's wrong to believe that a deconstruction cannot also reflect an author's incredible writing capabilities. That said, HxH isn't a Deconstruction imo and they never said it was one. They suggested that some of his subversions had deconstructive elements to them.

something I noticed in the end, meruem was getting blind because of the poison, yet he continued to play. he was playing like Komuji without the board. the way I see it. he was laying in her lab and they are playing together

Funny enough, I never finished the next arc. In my mind, the show ended after this episode.

As sad as this episode/reaction was (my heart physically hurt in anticipation) I laughed so hard when Caleb said "Oh shut up ending!!" LOL. But this episode was so heartwarming and heartbreaking, happiness and sadness and just overall the perfect way to end Meruem and Komugi's story. It's too bad they didn't have more time together :'(

This episode is hands down the most beautiful piece of art work I've ever seen! Even after watching the entire anime 5 times this episode always makes me cry 😭

Togashi had a pretty bad schedule for a mangaka from the Yorknew to just before the palace invasion started and then he took big hiatuses during the palace invasion. He actually did this entire sequence without any hiatuses and that continued for the entirety of the next arc. It seemed he really wanted to play another game... and then another... :3 It's clear that he writes best when he takes the long breaks. He does his best to do what entertains him the most, and probably took a lot of hiatuses because he ran out of motivation at times. It's credit to him for sticking with the series for so long -- like 20 years, even when hiatuses held him back.

Now that they've watched the end of the King. I love the underlying idea, throughout this arc, that the chimera ants weren't that big of a threat. It forces down your throat how powerful and dangerous these creatures are, but every time we see the higher up officials talk to the extermination team, they lack the sense of care or fear of the situation. The idea that it took one average bomb to take them out is crazy. Its so gutsy for Togashi to completely wipe out this species, characters and conflict he had built up, with something of such little importance.

I thinks its wrong to label Togashi-sensei's writing style as deconstructionist. It demeans his ability to write his own story, with his own creativity. And if you're wondering, in an interview he said that he writes full outlines before starting arcs and he has in mind the next few arcs before writing the current one. The only aster ix, is that this arc took place over 7-8 years, with a lot of hiatuses. In another interview he said that for greed island, he set the rules and story first and then smoothly took the characters starting point to the end. Where as in Yorknew, I think he said that he wrote the story as he went relying on a rough outline. A very big event that happened in the manga (no spoiler) was decided based on his own instincts and how he felt while writing the scene.

I really like the analysations. I love it when reactors go into a show looking to enjoy it, and not pick out any flaw just so they can say that it isn't a 10/10

The end of 136 with the Zodiacs. That's the best.

MODS: could any of you please ask Caleb and Jacob if they would be willing to post discussion videos on HxH manga chapters? Similar to what they do with Berserk.
