When Meteor City, the home of many Troupe members, is threatened by the Chimera Ants, the Troupe sets out to eradicate the invasive species and keep their home safe. While it’s easy to see the Phantom Troupe as bad guys, their role during the Chimera Ant Arc shows that they have another side to them. The Phantom Troupe also makes a cameo during this arc. Although I’m not typically fond of large casts, having so many characters and showing how facing the Chimera Ants affected them, whether breaking them down mentally or helping them find a new drive, was fantastic and showed just how perilous the Chimera Ant mission was. The antics with Palm were also really funny as well, especially the whole date that Gon went on with her xD Seeing all of these different Hunters take on such a tough mission and display a variety of Nen was absolutely brilliant. It was refreshing to see how the student-teacher relationship differed for different people. We’re gifted with quite a colorful cast and all of them add so much to this arc. There’s the buff-but-kind Knuckle, the timid Shoot, the slightly deranged Palm, the calm Morel, and the serious Knov. Along with the new Chimera Ants, we’re also introduced to experienced Hunters from the Hunter Association that have come to help with the Chimera Ant situation. It was very fascinating to see how they operated and there’s amazing growth (or digression if you’re looking at Shaiapouf) as you watch them evolve from predators to multi-faceted characters. Thus, he’s able to fully devote himself to the King.
Youpi is probably the most different from Neferpitou and Shaiapouf because he’s far more straightforward about carrying out the King’s orders, probably because he is the least human of the three and therefore relies more on his instincts.
It’s clear that he cares about the King, an obsessive sort of love and devotion, but Shaiapouf is more selfish and will find ways sneakily do what he thinks is best for Meruem whether Meruem wants it or not.
