Making it that far into Hunter x Hunter requires a high tolerance for totally out-there plot elements, but Chimera Ant really tests that limit. Twice now, I’ve watched people try to explain this arc to someone who barely watches anime, and both times, I wanted to evaporate on the spot out of embarrassment for how completely unhinged the story sounded. And it’s exactly as batshit as promised - perhaps even more, if that’s possible. It makes up almost half the series, clocking in at 61 episodes. Others despise it with a burning passion. Some people love it and say it’s the greatest thing to happen to anime.
#Chimer ant qarc appropriate for kids series#
Hunter x Hunter’s Chimera Ant arc is the most infamous storyline in all six seasons of the show, to the point where even anime fans who’ve never watched the series may have heard of it, because it’s so divisive. And that’s just scratching the barest surface. There’s this absolute brick house of a man, whose power is basically vaping.
A mutant ant harnesses the power to whisk his opponents to a pocket dimension, and he uses it to force them to play tag with him. (You really have to see it to believe it.) The protagonists meet a leader who apparently spent, like, two years standing in one place and punching the air ten thousand times a day. A nuclear blast culminates in a resurrection scene that doesn’t feel like someone coming back from the dead, so much as it resembles a cannibalistic orgy. A woman whose power involves wrapping her very long hair around herself fights a kid in a dictator’s mansion. An octopus named Ikalgo decides he’s the BFF of one of the main characters. Unbeknowst to Meruem, he had a sister which Colt named Reina (after her late sister), who was born moments after the Queen's death.Here are some very out-of-context things that happen in the Chimera Ant arc of the 2011 anime Hunter x Hunter, which is now streaming on Netflix. Before dying, she proclaims her desire to have her son fulfill his biological mission of standing atop all life. After the Hunter Association located her, they attempt to save her life with the aid of Dr. The Royal Guards abandoned the Queen in order to serve Meruem instead as per their sole purpose. With her role as queen fulfilled, many Chimera Ants decide to leave the nest and become rulers of their own broods, with those still loyal to the dying queen staying. A week later, the king, still within the Queen's womb, grows tired of waiting to be born and forces his way out, critically wounding the queen and exposing her organs, rendering her infertile. The Chimera Ants quickly multiplied and spread across the technology-free nation, continuing the mass-abduction of humans to feed the Queen to further develop the Chimera Ant population.Īfter her appetite for humans becomes ravenous to the point of consuming 250 humans a day, she hatches all three Royal Guards, personally giving them their names. From that, she gave birth to the first fully-sentient Chimera Ants, which caused her to develop an appetite for consuming humans, believing them to be the key ingredient she needed to give birth to the King. There, she quickly got to work to consume as much biomass as she needed to form a proper army, eventually giving birth to numerous powerful (albeit mindless) soldiers that invaded and abducted countless humans from nearby villages to be brought to and consumed by the Queen. How she was created or where exactly she came from is completely unknown, except for the fact that she washed up injured on the shores of the Neo-Green Life Autonomous Region of the Mitene Union. Even in her eventual death due to the King forcing his way out of the womb, the Queen still worries about his wellbeing and health. The Chimera Ant Queen dedicates her life in giving birth to the King of the Chimera Ants by demanding more food for his son to sustain while he is still in her womb. She had human-like teeth in addition to her mandibles. The Chimera Ant Queen is a very tall anthromorphic ant measuring for about 2 meters in height.
