List of Hunter × Hunter characters
Meruem takes an interest in strategy games, defeating champion-level players by learning their battle tactics after disrupting the flow of their playing style. However, he is unable to overcome the skill of a seemingly dimwitted blind girl from the countryside named Komugi in Gungi, the game she reigns over. As Meruem finds himself unable to disrupt her flow, the challenge of playing against Meruem awakens Komugi's Nen ability, thus, increasing her own skills. To the dismay of the Royal Guards, Meruem even starts to show respect and care for Komugi while questioning his own violent methods as a way to rule. As such, the King wavers between his human emotions and animal instincts, ultimately deciding to compromise by taking over the planet for the Chimera Ants, but sparing humans and leaving them to live in reservations. Meruem's faltering leaves him vulnerable, almost being destroyed in the fight against Netero when the man detonated the nuclear explosive on his person as a last resort. But Meruem survived by feeding on the bodies of Pouf and Youpi, assimilating their powers alongside their aura. But besides being poisoned by the bomb's radiation, Meruem also suffered temporarily memory loss before he recovers his memories of Komugi. Netero's final attack would takes its toll on Meruem at the time as he finds Komugi, spending his final moments playing with her before dying in her arms.
