In addition to the action, the storyline also highlights moral dilemmas and feelings of humanity, especially the relationship between King Meruem and a girl named Komugi, who is exceptionally skilled at the board game Gungi.

Besides Gon and Killua, other characters like Kurapika and Leorio also receive attention in their respective journeys. The main focus remains on the epic and tense battles between the Chimera Ant army and the Hunters.

This arc provides significant emotional depth with inner conflicts and mature character development. It is no wonder that the Chimera Ant Arc is considered one of the most thrilling and complex arcs in the Hunter x Hunter series.
