Meruem Would do Anything for Komugi

In my opinion, Meruem's arc is probably the greatest most earned character arc, of a villain, I've ever seen

[emengggggg]

also on his final moments "Komugi, are you still there?"

[Agent-hhkk]

I was so baffled at how the Chimera ant arc ended like from this narcissistic king to a guy going on his knees and begging that he wants to see komugi and play before he dies

[bradleycoates]

Another small detail... When Meruem tells Komugi his name, Komugi calls him "Meruem-sama". Meruem says the honorific "sama" is not needed, just "Meruem" will do, and Komugi refuses, stating that she's undeserving.

As the king passes, his final wish is for Komugi to say his name one last time...

"Goodnight, Meruem. I'll be joining you soon". This time without the honorific.

It's already the emotional peak of the story, but that little detail elevates it even further.

meruems character development is crazy, i cried for the first time watching an anime at the end of the arc, i have nvr yet cried watching any anime

[adrianpacis]

+ the fact the he repeatedly asked komugi if sh was still there on their final moments.

[queenofnightmares]

Their deaths was the saddest in the series. It was even sadder that it showed their entwined hands at the end of the show. It made me cry

[frozen]

His whole character changed because of that girl

[rage]

Chimera ant arc is the GOAT arc of all animes, the MC slowly loosing his humanity and the villain slowly learning what is means to be human.

It is beautifully poetic, and has the best character development. It was kind of my first anime and sometimes I wish I could watch it for the first time again.

[rusulothman]

Wow.. he’s definitely one of my fav characters

[jonconnor]

He is one of the best written villains in anime media.

[inatasannamei]

Something funny is also the fact that Komugi is the first person he doesn't try to kill after he said that sentence

[TheD_an_G]

I finished ep 135 about 5 minutes ago now I feel empty and cried like literal rivers of tears

[Concrete_ater]

their deaths hit me like a semitruck
i cried when it showed their hands at the end of the show 😕

[mordredwilliams]

He was born to be the chimera king. It was instinctual to him to be prideful, a kings word is worth gold.

[RedDed]

Just go to show you can have all the power in the world, servants to follow you but for someone to love you for you just being you, is entirely different

[izaak]

The chimera ant arc is debatably the greatest arc in all of anime, Meruems characterrization is unparalleled. The overarching themes about human morality, greed, love, hatred, and all of our characteristics is incredible. It takes an incredible intallect to be able to properly write something like this.

[floydnavarro]

Gon and Meruem same posture of sitting gives me a "they were both kings" vibe

[lillyellieanimation]

I almost cried on this part of the season because of his friendship with the blind girl it was so cute and so sad at the same time

[ryythhh]

meruem has one of the best character development in hunter hunter
