This was actually the perfect ending to the Chimera arc, despite the fact that the 'final battle' with Meruem was rather anticlimactic. I wonder how Gon will react to that in the future! Kaito being 'reborn' was maybe the cutest thing ever, and made this arc just a LITTLE bit less depressing. Welfin and his companions are now looking for him, and I wonder how they will (or IF they will, perhaps) find him.

Another interesting thing is the character Gyro, who received a lot of attention a few volumes back before quietly disappearing (/dying at the hands of the ants?).

I'm really excited about how this volume in particular will translate to the anime, as there's so much the animators can play around with. I guess that's the Hunter mindset coming into play, perhaps. The Miniature Rose happened and everyone just sort of went with the fact that the chairman was dead. Netero's death was sad, but it wasn't emphasized all that much. It's amazing how differently I felt for Meruem and even Neferpitou by the end of this arc compared to the beginning. The ending scene between Komugi and Meruem had me crying. I'm really excited about how this volume in particular will translate to the ani What an arc.
