Everyone Missed This Hidden Detail in Hunter x Hunter

I bet you didn’t notice this hidden detail in the Chimera Ant saga of Hunter x Hunter. Komugi and Meruem, a blind girl and a Chimera Ant king, build a beautifully tragic relationship by playing the board game ‘Gungi’ together. As they slowly bridge the gap between two different species, Komugi suddenly manifests a new Nen technique to enhance her ability to play Gungi. This moment highlights her passion for the game, but there's a deeper, hidden meaning.
To understand it, you need to know Meruem’s Nen ability: he can steal the powers of anyone he consumes. When he consumed his two bodyguards, he copied their powers. The underlying implication here is that if Meruem had consumed Komugi when she activated her Nen, he would have instantly become the greatest Gungi player by combining his own talent with Komugi’s technique. But he didn’t, because he never truly cared about winning; he just loved playing alongside Komugi.

the thing is he wanted an equal, it wasnt really the game, he wanted someone that was worth challenging

If he would've ate her he would've still been a loser and would've only known defeat to her. He wanted to be the greatest and to beat the greatest. He wouldn't sacrifice his resolve to be the best at everything but eating anyone he couldn't surpass.

Not a hidden detail at all. Their dynamic is the whole point of showing them as much as the show did.
