That's assuming that the process that created ant-Pam works the same as the process the Queen used.Originally Posted by Kraco
We know being eaten and born into a new ant leads to a lot of memory seepage, and rapid personal development. Is it the same with taking a living person and cocooning them in whatever this is?
We don't really know. It could have a completely different effect for all we know. It could be turning them into mindless obedient slaves.
Yeah, very true. But it just seems that if the full ants can remember and even be affected by their previous human selves, it would be strange if these semi-ants, transformed humans, wouldn't. Unless they are mindless, like you said. Still, considering the ants captured her as a spy, her fate was sealed to be either dead or something worse. Looks like it was something worse. Although there would have been also another option of the escaping medical ants just wanting to experiment, which could have resulted in anything. It's not like they expected having to flee the palace and thus not being around to see what it's going to be.
they dontPitou and Scorpion "girl" have penises.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Did I miss it, or did they ever explain why/when Welfin started guiding Bizzelf and his entourage? Last I remember, he was tailing them.
They never explained it as far as I saw.
Or the fact that those guys were apparently already down there while Ikalgo was still fighting.
OK. I'm sure it'll be revisited down the line, like they just did for Gyro.
kind of weird episode. the animation during killuaīs crying breakdown was so bad that i thought heīs just faking it to make time for Gon. But the narrator explained that, while trying to buy time in the beginning, he really broke down. Sucks that they couldnt properly animate that. Made me laugh about how odd Killua looked rather than being emotional.
Also, didnt they explain how Pitou removed Palmīs memories via operation? How could Killua remove any physical barrier?!
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
And how exactly did Pitou do that? She's a soldier, not a neurologist or a neurosurgeon. She probably read some book again and did some hasty operation, not really knowing what needs to be done. I'm sure she did plenty of damage to Palm's brain, though, which again adds to the long list of reasons why Pitou needs to die when this arc is finishing. Or at least have her own brain so damaged she can't tell the left from right.
I didn't find Killua's breakdown too badly animated or feeling artificial because of that. But it slightly annoys me how he's looking less and less like a tough assassin. Right now Gon's the one looking far more merciless and asskicking than Killua.

Hey look! It's Bayonetta!
Kinda weird that Palm's ant form is basically just her merged with her mermaid statue.
Does that mean if they turned Morel into an ant, he'd turn into a pipe-man?
I thought it looked less odd than it sounded. The VA's anguished cries there seemed like he was doing Pee-Wee Herman screams.
Regardless of how, it's been clearly shown before that she has those skills. She used it to force Pokkle to explain Nen to them.
Because he's not anymore. That's kinda the whole point of his character arc.
Yeah, obviously he's not working as an assassin anymore, but I don't need two Gons, that is, two regular kids only with extraordinary powers, in this story. Thus I wanted Killua to retain something from his earlier life (aside from powers). But maybe you are right and during the series he will continue to "heal" from his abnormal upbringing until he's a weeping mess like a kid his age should be when facing deadly situations and continuous stress. Wouldn't that be great?
Well since the first have of that and the second half aren't inextricably linked...yes/no?
Gon is not and never was a weeping mess though. He only cried when appropriate (Kite's zombification). Killua is the only crybaby right now. He seriously would have died if Palm didn't wake up, and the chances of that after she tried to rip him apart were REALLY low.
Peace.
Especially since he didn't even try to fight back but adopted a Rocky tactic of receiving every blow. In fact I think this issue with Palm was solved very nicely this way, even tough I don't like what it did to Killua.
It's all very appropriate though. Killua's the cold assassin, but was able to befriend Gon. Gon's his soul saviour of sorts, (his light, as Killua puts it) and now that that's burning out Killua getting all upset is rather fitting. Gon's always been more of the type to go apeshit when things make him angry. In fact, he's the one out of the two who could actually get truly angry. Killua just gets pissed off more or less in all non-Gon situations.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I figured the breakdown was a consequence of the built up stress/pain of Gon snapping at him. Even slapping around Youpi didn't seem to be what he needed to "blow off some steam". It was uncomfortably long, tough. I wonder if that was on purpose?
I thought it would have had to be that "long" in order to feel significant. Breaking Palm out of her mind control is supposed to be a big deal, I imagine.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
awesome episode.
although i feel like it is a real pitty that we only get to see Neteroīs ability against the ant king. That way, we canīt see how frightening it actually is. Imagine any other opponent being hit by these giant hands ... itīd be over in one attack. Itīs only the sheer raw power of the king that keeps him alive.
just fantastic.
oh, and i loved how Pouf decided to shit on both Gonīs demands and Pitouīs plea to do as Gon says. Haha.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Netero vs. the King is pretty bad ass. Heart!
"After all, I am strangely colored."
Well, we did see him knock Pitou over the horizon with it.
Yeah, I'm gonna be really pleased when he suffers a horrible, grisly death.
He's like the only Ant that's still a total shitbag.
This is the worst possible development. Nef now wants to kill Gon, and Gon is the stupid MC. Ugh.
Peace.
