Ep 10. Gungi x Of x Komugi

Gungi x Of x Komugi is the tenth episode of the third season of Hunter X Hunter (2011). The episode kicks off with the continuation of the battle between Komugi and Meruem. The two players of the board game Gungi continue their game, but things are not looking good for Komugi. Meruem seems to have discovered a weakness in her playing style and takes advantage of it. Komugi becomes visibly upset as Meruem starts taking over the board.

Meanwhile, Knuckle, Shoot, and Meleoron witness the battle from a distance. They are surprised by how skilled Komugi is but also realize that she is no match for Meruem. The trio decides to intervene and try to distract Meruem to give Komugi a chance to make her next move. However, Meruem is too smart and sees right through their plan. He quickly gets back to the game and starts dominating once again.

As the game continues, Meruem starts to question his own emotions and the reason why he feels so invested in this game. He begins to consider the possibility of caring for another person, which is a foreign concept to him. Komugi, an insignificant human being in his eyes, has managed to make him feel something he has never felt before. Meruem's thought process is interrupted as he notices that Komugi is not feeling well. She collapses and Meruem rushes to her aid.

The episode takes a turn as we see Meruem exhibiting a side of him that we have never seen before. He shows genuine concern for Komugi's health and even goes as far as carrying her to safety. This is a stark contrast to his previous behavior, where he saw her as nothing more than a pawn in his game. Meruem's actions leave us all wondering what has caused this sudden change of heart.

As the episode progresses, we see Knuckle, Shoot, and Meleoron regrouping and devising a new plan to take down Meruem. They realize that they are up against a dangerous opponent, one who is not only powerful but also intelligent. They decide to gather more information and wait for the right moment to strike.

The episode ends with Komugi opening up to Meruem about her backstory. She tells him about her love for Gungi and how it has helped her deal with her difficult upbringing. Meruem listens intently as Komugi shares her most personal memories with him. This scene adds a layer of complexity to their relationship and leaves us wondering what the future holds for the two of them.

Gungi x Of x Komugi is a thought-provoking episode that explores the themes of love, friendship, and loyalty. It sheds light on the struggles of the characters and the lengths they are willing to go to protect the ones they care about.
