Yeah, but neither Pouf nor Youpi have displayed regeneration powers either. So even that explanation doesn't make sense in the context of the information we have.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
I'm curious whether Youpi will ever actually recover from this. Just he just need to eat a bunch to restore his biomass, or is he gonna chibi forever?
These ants and their physiology have long since left behind any last traces of rationality, so I bet he just needs to eat a mountain of food and he's as good as new.
The King had that power (the ability to absorb external energy and apply/change self.. that is, eat and add to himself). Regeneration is one application of it. What made less sense was why he was this fiery figure in between his recovery. That the fact he was eating Pouf/Youpi didn't matter as long as he at rich, Nen-rich cells.
Youpi shows metamorphic abilities. Whether he'll eventually gain mass again lies in whether he can actually multiply his cells or not.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I assumed that was just glowing with energy, not fire.
Yeah, I assumed the king as able to regenerate thanks to Youpiīs magic beast-cells.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
What Mfauli says actually makes sense. Youpi CAN regenerate himself (along with transformation), as long as he has the cells to do it. After absorbing Youpi's cells and gaining his Nen power, the King can now regenerate or transform himself much like how Youpi does it.
It is more convincing than saying that the King incidentally had the ability to regenerate through eating aside from his Nen ability absorption ability.
Peace.
Well, Youpi can morph into many things, so it helps for regeneration. Pouf also manipulates his body/cells so that he creates many clones or chibi bees.
Absorbing cells from both of them certainly was a great help for the king in the predicament he was, and feels enough to explain how he totally recovered.
Pouf and Youpi were even depicted losing a great deal of their bodies and probably strength. So even there it felt balanced in a way.
I guess Youpi and Pouf can go back to their original size by eating too, logically they'd need quite a lot of average life forms and could speed up the process with higher quality ones... Like what the Meruem experienced. Hunters at the castle are a good source I guess...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The poo that the king is going to land after all that (unless he also is 100% efficent in energy processing and fuckoff thermodinamics and entropy) must be legendary. This was the worse development I could ever imagine. Not only is he alive but in a few minutes is back in one piece and stronger than ever. Im going to give the show the benefit of the doubt and pray that this evolves into something cool/logic/entertaining. Cant hide that this was a very big dissapointment and a letdown. If things dont look good in the next couple episodes im done with this show.
The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
I wonder if Meruem can also split into a bunch of little clones now too.
I dunno if I'd call it the WORST. We've basically transformed the Meruem's loss into losses for Youpi and Pouf. So instead of beating the King, Netero has essentially beaten two of the Royal Guards.
And given that Pouf has consistently proven to be a bigger asshole than Meruem, we're probably going to be better off in the long run that Pouf was brought down instead of Meruem.
But again, given that Meruem has had all of his character development wiped, it's going to come down to Komugi. And I don't see Killua and Co. letting Pouf get to her now.
Isn't that only temporary? Besides, Netero could have beaten these two royal guards without much trouble had he been fighting against them. I agree with Edort (and nearly everybody) that this was bad development. It's rare that a nuke is used to solve anything in anime (or in any media) and thus it made quite an impact: The King was so fricking tough that Netero never really had a chance in a totally honest fight, and thus we got the rare nuclear solution. But since the King survived even that, it's either obvious he's not going to go down in a fight but possibly live a mushy live with Komugi, or if he's indeed still going to fight, those fights will be truly hard-pressed to have any impact whatsoever.
I also wonder about Meruem losing his character development. How much did he have that in the first place? His basic personality was built sufficiently, perhaps, but that's still there, isn't it? Uber arrogance and superiority. He was ready to slay Pouf if Pouf lied a second time, without any hesitation, and he did whatever he wanted. That's exactly like the King had always been. His history is really short in the first place, and Komugi is basically the only piece worth mentioning.
We don't know yet. And even if it is, if someone else shows up to take on Meruem right now(or Gon gets a crazy Shonen powerup and comes to face him after beating Pitou), then Pouf and Youpi are probably in no position to effect that battle at the moment.
I agree, I'm just saying, it's not the worst. The worst would have been the Meruem surviving and being able to recover without two of the Royal Guards having to sacrifice themselves for it.
And, as far as the remaining characters are concerned, Meruem dying would probably have been worse for their chances of survival, if they'd had to face off against a berserk Pouf and Youpi, instead of one mildly disinterested Meruem who's probably going to have a non-violent resolution to this arc.
Yes, but remember that Netero said as he was triggering the bomb that Meruem was underestimating humanity. And the last thought Meruem had before the explosion was that he'd lost before the fight even began.
So Meruem might have lost some of that sense of superiority, if he'd had any recollection of the battle he lost.
The King just has a concussion. He's learned stuff, but he doesn't consciously remember it. That's why he's confused. He doesn't feel superior, but he doesn't remember why.
He hasn't lost his character development. He's just misplaced it.
"After all, I am strangely colored."
Why does pouf think that the king finding komugi dead (at his hands) is going to end well for anyone?
He would probably try to get rid of the body, and the whole existence of Komugi, before the King has a chance to see her at all. But even if the King did see the body, it wouldn't automatically mean he would remember everything related to her. In that case Pouf would have also won because it would be just another corpse. Pouf is always ready to die for and by the King, so getting punished lethally wouldn't bother him at all. On the other hand he also has a huge ego and imagines he knows what's best for the King, so there's nothing in his personality that would prevent him from hurting Komugi behind the King's back in this sort of situation.

Man, Pouf. He's losing it. I think he lost too much of his brain when he fed most of himself to the King. The King is already looking down on the palace and no doubt everybody within and around since he's practically a god already, so Pouf running around trying to achieve anything behind the King's back at this point is pure foolishness. Youpi is already the smarter of those two. Furthermore, it was pretty funny Pouf even dreamed of beating anybody serious with his partial clone. He couldn't fight decently to begin with in his full form. His only worth was controlling nobodies. Too bad he's so hard to kill.
Killua going all biribiri is pretty cool. Such mastery of an element is no doubt a sign of nen mastery. A few eps ago he was even reviving himself directly from a power socket, which is quite significant in my opinion.
The King needs to be reunited with Komugi. His personality is as ruthless as ever, but his powers have warped. He needs a limiter.
Well, we don't know that for sure, because he never actually tried.
He didn't have one real fight in this arc, and now, I'm not sure he's going to get to.
I thought there was going to be an actual fight against that clone, but nope, he just kept leaving.
Isn't that the same thing? If he theoretically could fight but always leaves instead, he would be a lousy fighter in practice. Looking at the situation a bit deeper, he didn't accept Youpi honouring the agreement, which suggests in Pouf's opinion leaving opponents alive using any reason or excuse is not good. Thus we can deduce he would rather fight than withdraw. But because he does retreat easily, it means he has no confidence in his fighting prowess. The final conclusion: He's weak.
If he were leaving out of cowardice, then yes. But every time he's left a fight, it's because the fight wasn't his goal.
When fighting Morel, his only objective was to get to the King. He didn't care if he defeated anyone or not, all he cared about was getting free of the smoke, finding out where the King went, and going after him.
When fighting Knuckle and Killua, he similarly had other objectives, first killing the girl, then destroying the gungi board. Knuckle didn't have the girl, so he left, and Killua didn't have the board, so he left.
So far, I haven't seen him leave a fight because he was afraid of losing.
I think that's a stretch. I think he retreats because his true goals are often time sensitive. He could take the time to fight Morel, but in the time it would take to do it, something could happen to the King(and he ended up taking too long as it was). He could take the time to fight Knuckle or Killua, but in that time, the King could end up discovering the things he's trying to hide from him.
But if Pouf was actually powerful in a straight fight, he would have just killed Morel instead of trying to sneak away. If it would take him more time to kill Morel than to escape, he is a not as much of a fighter as the other 2 guards, at least.
Peace.
Not arguing that. Just arguing with Kraco's "he couldn't fight decently to begin with" statement. Being weaker than Youpi and Pitou and being weaker than anyone on the human team is a vast power gulf. It took 5 of them to even bring Youpi to the point where he wanted to make an agreement with them.
