I think they would have defeated Rammot if Colt haven't saved him.
He seemed pretty damaged by Gon and Killua attacks. Still, it was just a soldier and they had some trouble with him. Then squadron leaders must be really strong. And to think that royal guards and the king haven't been born yet. |

I can't give you an answer on Meleoron just yet, but I am saying that there have been hints towards the natural abilities of Chimera Ants. For example, in this episode, Rammot naturally used Zetsu without any knowledge of Nen--which Kite comments on. Is it a stretch to believe that there could be users among them who've no concept of the extent of their abilities? A la Neon. |

I'm saying this knowing full-well that I can be proven wrong by the next episodes. Still, this is what I believe right now.

As we've already seen, NGL is not entirely "traditional." Without knowing the nature of Gyro's army, how can one claim it's impossible? They own guns and their clothing definitely does not appear to be "natural." Another possibility: Ponzu stated in the previous episode that there were several groups of Hunters who had already gone to NGL and been eliminated. Perhaps the Chimera Ants stole clothing from them as well. Regardless, you're nitpicking at something that has a fairly easy explanation. Togashi often leaves minor details like those up to the reader to interpret. We do know that Chimera Ants are born naked. It makes sense to me that their clothes came from the bodies of the hundreds of prey they declothed. Quote:

Furthermore, we already see the chimera-ants wearing clothes before they encounter those hunters, drug-dealers and storm their HQ, so where do you suggest ..say...the centipede girl got her bikini? Quote:
Let’s make it short. Take one example: do you really believe the chimera-ants get a koala-sized suit from any of the people on NGL? I don’t know about you, but I don’t buy it. That koala-sized suit looks more like something tailor-made (by the author) than something pillaged from people. See? Not everything unique is nen-based. Some animals in Hunter x Hunter universe posses innate abilities as animals, just like how humans can walk and talk.

Cool. I can't wait.
I think that the koala is smaller than your average kids (let alone midget adults). So, I still don’t buy it (yet). Nah, it's cool. I'm a true anime-viewer. I don't wanna be spoiled, so I won't ask you further via PM or something like that.

Emperor Time is not an enhancer ability. The mere notion of being able to use all categories at 100% efficiency is not something that can be achieved by "enhancing the body", which is why it's a specialist ability. Specialists are specialists because their abilities can do things that are beyond the regular categories. It is not "something that is a more advanced version of the other categories". That would still make it fall under its base category. Meleoron's invisibility, assuming it is "Nen without being Nen", is a pure transmuter ability however. It does not do anything that cannot be explained through transmuter. |

The queen is in feeding overdrive.
So Gon and the others finally came across a hybrid. It was awesome watching those two fight. Seems like they will need to get even stronger to handle chimera ants. Not everything is peachy in the chimera ants lair. The internal problems are getting more serious.

Guys. With all the awesome stuff going on and will be going on in this arc why are we discussing something so tertiary and obviously of so little importance to the story that Togashi doesn't even mention it? The clothes came from wherever they came from. (not to say I think people shouldn't discuss whatever they want, but personally it's really a non-issue)
I mean Togashi took some creative license with his character designs is that really a make or break deal for some? We just saw that Gon and Killua post Greed Island and all it's training are still kinda over their heads against the Chimera Ants and we still haven't seen the power of the Squad Leaders not to mention the Kings Bodyguards and the KING himself.

Well the simplest explanation is that Scorpio-chan was butt naked until she encountered some of the NGL soldiers and their girlfriends frolicking in a secret pool...
The other clothed ants probably encountered some non-combat/off-duty NGL goons earlier, and stole their spiffy business suits and casual attire. It's not surprising to have at least one midget working there. |

I’d say let’s just accept that the ants’ clothes are just there for the lulz and move on. Just like how we accept Spiderman’s costume in the live-action movies (and just enjoy the ride) even though any sane person knows that the costume looks too good and too expensive for something hand-made by a penniless highschooler/university student.

Looks like we're gonna have some really stellar action scenes next week. Killua's Thunderbolt was so good. I wonder if we'll get see some other techniques Gon's been working on. My guess would be the off-screen Transmutation training he mentioned in Greed Island, since last time we saw that Gon's still not doing so great on the Emission department for the time being. No hints please.
