Hunter X Hunter Analysis – Chimera Ants And Their Human Influence Part 1

This is a break down video about the manga Hunter x Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi.

I explore the Chimera ants arc of Hunter X Hunter and the battle between the ants and humans. Humans won in two ways. First by influencing the ants indirectly through human genes which helped to create these creatures. Then, mankind used its own weapons and practices.
