    Gon & Killua's training ought to give them good chances against opponents below the royal guards, especially assuming they attack 2 vs 1. Actually beating royal guards would seem like a stretch at this point.
    That would be too clean, this arc isn't clean. I'm expecting Kite to be revived as some sort of atrocity, or maybe just completely catatonic.

    Yeah but then what would be the point of them even going? It's already pretty much been established that anything below royal guard is trash tier, even with Nen i don't see the Chairman and his posse having any issues with them.

    Hmm... Well, there is of course a possibility that the other two royal guards aren't as big fighting monsters as Neferpitou. However, if even Netero doesn't want to face Neferpitou, I don't see how Gon & Killua could reach the needed level of power in a couple of weeks. Maybe if we had two Killuas who could devise a nefarious plan, but we have Gon who's too stupid for anything but direct face to face confrontations - and such confrontations happen to be Neferpitou's forte.

    The Chairman's team might only have trouble against the Royal Guards, but that still leaves 24 captains that would interfere if given the chance. Gon/Killua/whoever would still be helpful in keeping other people out of the fight.

    My only solution: Gon (and maybe Killua, too) develop a special technique akin to Kurapika“s, where you have to vow with your life, this gaining an incredible boost in power.

    There“s simply no other way, outisde of bullshit insta-upgrades. And this series has done a good job so far in presenting power levels in a semi-realistic manner.

    I guess that some way out of this mess would be having one of the strong ants become an ally.

    It wouldn't be a stretch to think that even if they are "designed" to be under the orders of the Queen/King or whoever, they still have human characteristics and Nen.
    We've already had some lower grades ants do whatever they feel. Why not having one of the top chose to rebel against their kind?

    It's not impossible because very fine/precise nen control can probably affect your own body, maybe cells and why not DNA. Netero wouldn't be something like 160 years of age if not for that kind of reason.
    So why not change your own DNA to free yourself from your King/Queen Tyranny?

    Somehow, Colt could be a great candidate, not the strongest, but at least he could help wipe most of the place.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Why would any of the ants do that? Rammot was ready to rebel when he thought he's the shit with his new, pesky nen skills, but then he fell onto his knees before Neferpitou. However, even rebelling against the Queen wouldn't make any ant an ally of humans. They consider humans food or prey for sport. Any ant that could be fooled into becoming an ally wouldn't amount to much.

    Besides, they are probably depending on the Queen's pheromones as much as a crack addict on their dealer.

    Colt seems to have some kind of ghost "ą la GITS" from his human part. Add human traits, nen fine DNA/body/cell tunning and why not... Or any other plot tool you can think of.

    I think the human ghost already played its part by making Colt just as fussy, meticulous, no-nonsense, and protective as the kid was.

    Well, after all we'll just have to watch what has been chosen for us to enjoy

    I“d hate it if any Chimera ant decided to join the humans. That“s just super dumb.

    Yeah, I haven't really cared for the last couple episodes.

    Going back to being trained by Bisky again just feels like they're going in circles.

    I think it would be if it happened in the middle of the arc, but if any of them are still alive after the King and Queen are dead, I don't think it would be stupid at all.

    After all, it's not like they can reproduce on their own, and without a chain of command, there's really no reason for them to keep doing what they're doing.

    If Colt is defeated, but not killed, and recovers to find the King and Queen already dead, then I would fully expect him to give up his current path.

    I honestly cant figure out what Gon and Killua are missing according to Biske“s words. In case of Gon it could have been typical stuff like "the will to kill" or whatever, but Killua certainly wouldn“t be missing that. So, I“m left without an idea.

    Netero killing those lowly squadrons and being all content with himself feels wrong. Even Gon and Killua, prior to their training, maybe could have beaten the squadron leaders. Cant wait for the clash between Netero and the Royal Guard.

    Oh, and I absolutely want to see Pitou put in place. Dat pussy is to arrogant for my liking :>

    Well, there's nothing wrong with killing enemy units and knowing things are according to plan. He's "warming up" at the moment as well. He's also done enough to instill fear and discomfort in the less-than-Royal ranks.

    I'm pretty disappointed with this episode. All that time wasted in flicking back and forth such that we didn't see anything real happen.

    Let's just hope this is the silence before the storm.

    I think Netero, even though the opponents are weak, is getting better in shape because of this.
    Knowing they are at a disadvantage against the ants it's the best thing to do. Thin out the number of enemies while training at the same time.

    I can't tell if turning Kite into a puppet is Pitou's power, or the guy paying the violin.

    I'm going to assume it's the other guy since she's an Enhancer and that's definitely a Manipulator power.

    She's a specialist. Rammot is the enhancer one. Although I understand that you don't remember which one was it because Rammot is as badass as Pitou.

    I don't know if it's actually going to be one of Gon's weaknesses since it's more like a shounen trope, but it can't be denied his special attack is far too transparent. Even if he can "surprise" more idiotic opponents by cutting it short and using scissors instead. But nevertheless the beginning alone is too obvious and undynamic. Kite's technique also required the opponent to grant him a moment to summon a random weapon in a goofy manner, but I don't think most of the badasses had any such weaknesses.
