And just like that, HXH went full-on Gantz-style. Wtf. I filly expected someone to jump between the monster and the kids. And not only were the kids killed, they even showed the boy getting hit by the attack. To make it extra clear, we also saw his clothing after he had been eaten by the queen. wow.

One thing I don´t understand is either why Kaito bears such fear of these chimera ants, or why the chimera ants are posing a threat NOW and not whatever amount of years ago. The former can be explained by what we saw in this episode: They´re super-quickly evolving and kill people. Good. But why now? Hope they clear that up.

And god, if I don´t love that all the chimera monsters look like they´re from Dragon Ball. The queen is basically a mix between Cell and Piccolo. So good.

Oh, what I also wondered: Is the queen the defacto appearance of a proper, 100% chimera ant, or did she eat humans before? Since clearly she´s very humanoid. From her sensation after having eaten the kids, I guess not. Still ...


PS: Btw. anyone know a good picture from the chimera arc that I could use for my future smartphone case? Google is flooded with manga images that I cant really use. Need some color. http://www.case-custom.com/custom-go...?for-item=8023 :>
