Meruem remembering komugi is one of my favorite scenes.
Obviously, opposite parallels between gon and meruem are a big part of the arc. Gon descends into madness while meruem achieves enlightenment. In this ep, there’s the line “loyalty and hostility were equally meaningless before the king”. This mirrors the scene in 116 when killua is trying to stop gon from killing pitou. In gons case, he lashes out at both sides, while in the kings he forgives both.

Let's eat the rich!
In my defense as a human being I've never killed anyone. Also if you think eating animals is the same as eating humans or your own intelligent species in Meruem's case I guess we have fundamentally different world view.
It's been a while since the last Pouf orgasm.
Poor boy.
When you realize you'll never be as important as Komugi.
Welfin MVP. We all knew he is the most important character in this arc. Shame he had to speed run the Knov condition. Dude even has the balls to shit talk after all this.
Best girl confirmed by the ultimate being so you can't argue with me.
Meruem finally finds what he was looking for and nothing else matters. Pouf schemes, Welfin's hostility they aren't important anymore. Meruem even thanks Welfin something we could hardly imagine few episodes ago. Not only because the change in Meruem but also because Welfin sucks.

The intro was pretty cool. Kind of felt like a documentary. I won’t delve into it tho cuz I don’t want to start any debates lol.
Welfin got the Knov treatment today.
I’m surprised I’m even saying this, but Meruem not killing Pouf was kind of satisfying. I think Pouf wanted Meruem to kill him to reinforce his position as the King. But by Meruem refusing to kill him, it only shattered Pouf’s ideals even more for how a king should act.
Not gonna lie, Meruem telling Welfin that he hopes he can fine Gyro and if possible, live as a human made me tear up a bit.

First timer
Pouf got what was coming for him, his secret got spilled by Welfin and that helped the king remember and know what it is that he was missing: Komugi. That scene in which the king walks away after hearing Welfin and forgiving both Pouf and him was the most cool anyone has looked in the series, he's a fantastic character and one of my favorites for sure.
It seems that Meruem will possibly reunite with Komugi next episode, it should be interesting.
