Pardon the bump, but the chapter's been translated.....
And yeah, like I said in the spoiler above, the chapter was chiefly walls of text (not complaining here, just pointing out ). And yeah, ol' wolf boy's definitely in some deep doo-doo now. I wonder if he'll actually be able to survive this deadly encounter...... |

I'm rereading the Genei Ryodan arc, and I think it'll be difficult to move back to that storyline and still make it somewhat suspenseful with the power up of Gon and Killua. Both of them, after the GI arc power up and now the Ant arc power up, are at least several times stronger than what they were in the GR arc. Gon is obviously going to be messed up for awhile, but Killua? 1 on 1, who can beat him among the GR members? Kuroro and Hisoka maybe?

^We saw the Ryodan beat some ants with little to no trouble during this storyline, so I think it's quite safe to say they're still a legitimate threat, even for the powered-up Gon and Killua (and remember, strength isn't always the deciding factor towards victory in this series).
Anyways, a few spoiler pics were released: Spoiler:

I'd say Kuroro is weak
I mean, his nen ability is certainly spectacular but he is held down by his inherent character flaws. Ie: greed, overconfidence. In contrast to say, Hisoka whose nen ability is really simple, but is very lethal because Hisoka is a cunning ruthless trickster

I'm well aware that those ants were fodder. In fact, you're technically conceding my point that those ants (who were a lot stronger than normal humans to begin with) were nothing to the Ryodan (also note that up until that point, about half of the "spiders" hadn't revealed their abilities yet). And for the millionth time, physical strength is not everything in this series. Remember how Morau beat that lion dude a bit earlier this storyline? I wouldn't put it past the Ryodan at all to come up with similar clever methods of subduing their foes, no matter how strong they are..... |

I'm not worried one bit about the Ryodan. I'd say Kirua and Gon finally reached a level enabling them to fight on par with them, but that's about it.

You're right that Gon's powerup is just a once time thing though, so Killua/Gon's power levels if they do ever fight the Kyodan again would be on even grounds probably. |

And yet, look at how Yupi died. He met his end not with brute force, but poison. And now Pufu and even Meruem are in danger of succumbing to Netero's "curse" (though Pufu is in more danger than the king currently). So y'see, my point still stands. |

King's transformation to human in mind only reflects what some other ants have already experienced. Regardless, it is a nice development. I guess at the end of this arc, he will start to live happily ever after with Komugi...
It is also the right time to shift the focus to Gon's side. His transformation back to his original self should be the next step in converging to the main story. |

This will never happen, because the fate of the King is already sealed. And Pufu, the last of the three royal guards, will die next chapter. The ants will perish very soon, as much as I hate the fact Meryem will die a tragic death in front of Komugi, and just when the loss of memory made him a wholly different person who wishes to coexist with the humans and breed with Komugi who undoubtely will die too, but because of love. |

I have to admit that I'm rather disappointed with the way this arc has gone. Characters of such power were introduced and they go out as easily as they appeared, and a number of characters, particularly Netero who I hoped would play a bigger role later on in the series. My heart does go out to Meryem tho because he realized what was truly important in life and that he will die so tragically. Story-wise, however, I wonder how that plays out with respect to the main characters. As much sympathy as I have for Meryem, this arc really was a bit too filler-esque.
