I don't think it was an ass pull. I expected it to happen due to the large power difference. I just expected super saiyan, and not actually growing older though.

Guys, episode 132 is out!
Just a small 'heads up' before the actual ep discussion starts, since we can't post torrent links in this thread, and people didn't want the first sentence in a new ep post to basically spoil what happens in the episode.
I'm gonna go watch it right now!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well damn, after what happened in the previous episode, this ep was pretty disappointing.
Aside from Meruem showing a little bit of his new powerlevel and Pouf coming up with some stupid contest, not much happened.

That was a horrible episode.
Peace.
At the very least the king got bored of pretending of not noticing Pouf is planning something and above all hiding something. But you can already see the king is more mellow than he was originally, despite having lost memories. He would have severely beaten if not killed Pouf otherwise.
But yeah, when the episode is almost entirely about Pouf's annoying plans, it's not going to be entertaining to watch.
Good luck finding Pitou before Meruem finds the intruders guys. She's in the next country over, and dead.
I was beginning to get annoyed with this situation prior to this episode, because Pouf shouldn't have been able to do all the shit he was doing considering Meruem said before that he could feel their thoughts. And it was stretching credibility that Youpi went so long without mentioning Komugi. But they addressed both of those things in this episode.
It looks like Gon didn't stay as a grown-up, which is a plus. Though his hair is still long.
Now, Bizeff and the Nen-eating ant chick should be in the basement stealing the treasure right? I wonder if there's going to be a fight down there between her and Palm.

I can't remember exactly how long ago it actually happened, but because of some 'DMCA takedown' notice, we're not allowed to post Hunter X Hunter torrent links.

The King knowing about their deception and going along with it was obvious. Togashi may have been stumbling a little in the latter part of this arc, but he isn't that bad of a writer.
Gon looked a little malnourished on Killua's back. Maybe he grew too old and shriveled up like Netero.
Peace.
Ep 133 is out.
—————
Ok, so it was really a Nuke after all.
Other than that. Nothing more than some development needed for the finale of the arc I guess.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Right, though I don't think there was any ambiguity in that, rather only how resistant the ants were to the effects. I said earlier the King wouldn't be able to breed anymore, but of course it makes more sense the amount of radiation from that close isn't going to cause only infertility. I'm actually happy with this conclusion for two reasons: The ants aren't so divine, after all, and Netero really did know what he was doing (and didn't die for nothing).
I think the general structure of this arc is kind of interesting: The ants rose phenomenally, shook two countries quite thoroughly, but then were almost arbitrarily swatted dead (if you consider the fact they were defeated by nongovernmental agents in a small, limited operation). My sympathy was never on the ants' side during this arc, but assuming this is indeed how it will end, they do deserve both respect and pity.
i feel bad for pouf suddenly. all alone now
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
At first I was a little disappointed that Gon exhausted his power on Pitou, as at the time it seemed a little insignificant compared to the challenge that the king posed. Now it might be the most significant win in the arc assuming Pitou had the power to cure radiation poisoning.
Guess the ants aren't immune to radiation after all. Looks like Netero managed to take them all with him after all.
So really, Netero and Gon were the only ones that actually did their jobs in this arc.
This is really not the conclusion I was expecting for this arc.
Ooh, hadn't even considered that.
Or that if Pitou had fed herself to the King the same way the others did and he'd gained the ability to heal himself.
Nef could probably heal wounds on a mechanical level, but not damage on a cellular level. I really doubt she could cure "radiation" poisoning.
Gon had the most significant win in this arc because Netero tied (he died), and if Gon did not kill Nef, Nef would kill everyone else.
Peace.
Who knows. Doctor Blythe has, like, IV bags and injectors and whatnot as well as operating instruments. Who knows what it was capable of curing.
IV bags and injectors cannot cure acute radiation poisoning. Who knows is the right answer, but I am willing to bet nay based on what we have seen and common sense. I'm amazed they didn't die from the radiation after eating a nuke point blank, but that is likely for dramatic effect in the succeeding episodes.
Peace.
I think Nef definitely could not save the king with Doctor Blythe, even if she could fix broken DNA. I think there's a much better chance that the King could save himself, if he had absorbed Nef. It all comes down to whether he could fix his DNA as quickly has the dangerous isotopes in his body damaged it. But we'll never know. Gon smashed Neferpitou's skull in! Neferpitou is dead!
"After all, I am strangely colored."
Yeah, I agree. Pitou was the only one who didn't take a walk in ground zero. So, if the King had eaten her and replaced his own cells with her undamaged ones, he might have survived. Or at least something would have survived, as realistically whatever had come out of it shouldn't have looked quite like the King anymore.
All in all it's fitting the ants had no idea what they were dealing with. They were too young to have learned too much.
If knowledge could have saved them, it's ironic that the very first kill the King made was the reading penguin. Bad move on this part then.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
...which wouldn't have upset Meleron to join the Hunters and allow them to succeed this far.
I also don't believe Pitou's abilities could heal the radioactive poisoning either. Her powers should be limited to only physical healing and reanimation. If Meruem had a chance to absorb Pitou, I still think he would only extend his life by a week or two given that his original core body was heavily exposed to the nuke.
I'm curious how Welfin's conversation with Youpi went before Youpi died.
Seeing little baby Youpi laying on the ground dead was really kinda sad...
