You do know that the area hit by a nuclear strike is still contaminated even after the bomb explodes, right? Youpi and Pouf ran right into the aftermath.

This is straight nonsense because it doesn't take into account the pace of the adaptation or the number of inserted or elongated scenes. About 6 pages of manga got turned into 20 minutes of anime earlier in this arc, with one double page spread in particular turned into 10 minutes. That's something you can read in 10 seconds. This makes the manga and the anime "experiences" different even if they're covering basically the same material.
At the start of this anime the pacing was something more like 40 pages per 20 minutes.

Ah man, I'm on episode 107 now and
Knov turns out to be this big ass wuss; damn it and I thought he was gonna be like this badass mofo!

Well I guess that's that then.
For some reason I keep on thinking Ikalgo or Palm is Pouf in disguise. They just seem so shifty. Ikalgo popping up and going "QUICKLY GO TO THE BASEMENT"
And now Palm being all mysterious and saying they have to hide her.
I still don't like Welfin. They can give him as much character and backstory as they like but he really was unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.

The spread in the Manga had a large emotional impact though, which is harder to do in a ten second time frame. I agree that part was too long, but it had to have been extended in order to get any similar kind of feel. If I hadn't already read the source material, I would have been more comfortable with the time extensions, but overall I don't think it detracts much from the experience of the arc, especially since now it can be watched all at once. But once again, this is just how I feel.
I also might just be a bit biased and defensive because I absolutely adore this arc.
Same feeling could have been achieved with quick cuts and many simultaneous angles of Gon's breakdown. Boom, covered it in 5 seconds.
But they want to finish at 135 for whatever reason as well as get all of that zinger in 131, soz...
Knov went into enemy territory filled with monsters alone, BY HIMSELF, and completed his mission far more well than anyone imagined. How is he a wuss?
Well at least
I was wondering earlier why were they devoting so much time to Gyro, (speculation)
it seems Netero didn't die a pointless death.

with that angle returning in this ep it looks like either Meruem or Pouf will turn out to be his reincarnation. Earlier I thought it was going to be king for sure but now Pouf looks like a more likely candidate.
:lol Complety missed/forgot it if so. Will watch that episode again.
actually i don't know if that was in the anime. it was in the manga for sure and it happened a long time ago too so its not spoiling anything. the anime did things different.

The only creatures that really posed a threat to him were Pitou, Pouf and Youpi. He ran because he became overran by fear at the sight/feeling of Pouf's nen; which is kind of understandable. I say he's a wuss for completely losing the will to fight as a result and leaving his teammates to do it all themselves while he stays hidden in his little spacial rooms. He looked down on Gon and Killua for running away from Pitou, neither of which really wanted to run but understood the situation for what it was
well Killua understood. Gon is Gon. Also he never regained his composure while everyone else who encountered the nen of the three aforementioned (and some went through near death experiences) were able to.

That's one thing I don't like about manga being adapted into anime. They could have adapted this a lot better and fixed the pacing issues. The narrator's role could have been pulled back a bit and let the visuals and animation and characters speak for themselves. They need to trust the audience more. Or maybe we're just not their audience.
All three were bleeding, though and all present at ground zero.

Yep. Youpi himself was raging through the infernos/aftermath. The power of science.

Because Angelus Errare is a new poster here. I guess people are being considerate.
It was. The anime showed it far earlier than in the manga, back when Kaito, Gon and Killua went into Gyro's HQ after the place was overtaken by ants.
The placement made a bit more sense than in the manga, but it was also easier to forget because it was pretty much the beginning of the arc.
My memory is bad, so I'll just ask. Is Gyro the
Koala Bear? He's the only ant I remember that they focused on for a bit that didn't die onscreen or become a good guy.
Gyro was reborn, regained his memories immediately, and left. We don't know anything about him except that he was still around in the country when Gon/Killua came in with Knuckle and the rest.
I was only spoilering it just in case new guys were browsing the thread, but I'll stop. It's nice to know that he was reborn as the Koala Bear, but I was somehow expecting him to be Mereum for some reason.
Wait wait, none of the ants seen so far are Gyro. He literally left immediately the second he was born. Sorry for not clarifying.
Oh okay, thanks.
Still wonder what happened to the Koala Bear. I don't remember him dying and he had like an entire episode to himself. Wonder what happened to the sleazy diplomat and Leo's female friend as well. They just kinda vanished.

Pretty interesting episode.
Do we know which people Palm is following with her ability?

I was talking specifically of this final part. There are other parts before where they could have condensed more, yeah. Though I suspect I wouldn't agree with the quantity with you.

Killua, Gon, and Pouf, if I recall correctly.
What do you think about the pacing?
And yet he still stayed around and provided support. That's all that really matters. A wuss would have just completely dropped out.
Yup, notice no one ever gives him crap for his reaction.

Yeah me too as well as last weeks episode. I'm all emotional now since I know the inevitable is happening soon.
Wait huh, there's no manga spoilers or teasing or anything on this page anywhere, including the gyro stuff
because it was in the latest episode???
There's manga spoilers on this page?
Wait, did the anime ever explain that Gyro was eaten and reborn as an ant? I don't ever recalling it did. I know it did in the manga, like right after they had his backstory.
This might be why certain people are confused here if the anime didn't state this like the manga did.

I remember being just as confused reading the Manga.

The anime covered the entire Gyro thing, just at an earlier point than it did in the manga,
I just watched episode 80 again. Unless i missed it there was no where they showed Gyro turining into an Ant and leaving. Unless that Minotaur dude was Gyro but he addressed Gyro in the second person so he couldn't have been him.
What i love about the show is that they don't give you everything. God what i would have given to see Kite-o roll a high number lol.

Manga spoilers:
Gyro being reborn as an ant and walking away hasn't been shown in the anime yet.

that's ridiculous, why would they have an episode about him and not show that
edit: oh shit you're right
based Yonafunu comes to the rescue again
lol
Just to be clear, it's really not a big deal. The arc is very close to done, so we'll have seen it in two weeks.
Welp.
I think that's a bit really really dumb but okay. I don't like it when the anime isn't faithful to the manga, it's just worse. If I was an anime watcher I would treat this the same as manga people telling me about Kite's changes in the beginning of the series before the beginning of the Ant arc, and I'd rather be told about it (which also happened in the thread)... but sorry for those who don't agree with me, I'll edit the posts (though it's probably too late)
I'm pretty sure it's still coming, so I'm cool with it. I get that they want to wrap everything regarding the Chimera Ant arc up in one swoop. It's also a pretty good cliffhanger to end the arc with.
