when i was around 14 or 15, i saw this scene for the first time with absolutely no context. everything about it impressed me--the music, the composition, and especially the chilling animation. i had no idea what was happening, but even without context, this scene was immediately incredibly powerful to me. it solidified my desire to become an animator. a few years after that, i actually watched HxH all the way through, i had to respect the scene(and entire episode) that much more. i'm now in my senior year of college as an animation student, and a huge reason why is simply become of the moment gon decided to to stop caring

This is the singularly most devastating and epic transformation a child could go through. These Ants didn't know what hit them. Ruthlessly slaughtering one of the strongest possible characters with utmost ease what made me realize what a pure heart can do in the most darkest of ambiences.
I use this Song as a Background when I'm Fighting and Struggling against a Boss when I'm playing "Soulsborne" Games (Demon/Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring and Sekiro etc).
What is the most scariest thing is that gon is still a child so emotionally is not fully in touch with his emotions yet so at this point he literally turns into an emotionless monster the thing meruem was before he met komugi.
