Hunter x Hunter Episode 135

This episode was truly heartbreaking, this was one of the few anime that made me cry, lol. Through Komugi, Meruem was able to learn empathy and love. Watching someone who used to be inhuman slowly discover human feelings felt both beautiful and painful since he's a villain.

Watching Meruem go from a monster to just a guy playing Gungi broke me. That pitch-black final scene and "Are you still there?" was peak. 😭 Komugi’s gentle replies while the poison took hold was devastatingly beautiful. Pure, tragic perfection.

I never thought I would cry over a villain.

Through Komugi, Meruem comprehends the essence of empathy and recognizes that what truly matters is not kingship, but rather the time spent playing Gungi with Komugi. According to Komugi, Meruem is somebody who genuinely cares for her.

This is by far my favorite episode! The build-up and tension throughout the entire Chimera arc come to this point, and it's so bittersweet. You have the chimera king and a blind girl whose only purpose is to play the game, leaving us with a tear-jerking scene of love and loss.

Absolute heartbreak. Seeing the most powerful being in the world choose a final game of Gungi over global conquest is the ultimate character arc. Meruem’s fading "Are you still there?" just destroy me. Tonpa is the real villain fr 😭♟️
