Hunter x Hunter Volume 30 brings the surviving Hunters and Chimera Ants to their final confrontation. VIZ presents the conflict as a test of loyalties as well as force. The following volume turns to choosing an Association chairman, so this book belongs on the battle side of that change in subject. Read the pair in order if the aftermath matters to you; the arrival of a new public problem does not make the previous one disappear.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The King's returning memory directs his attention toward Komugi, the blind Gungi player, while the publisher describes humans displaying a ruthlessness comparable to the Ants. Those two facts obstruct an easy sorting of the conflict into humane people and monstrous opponents. The comparison does not excuse the King. It changes what species membership can prove about anyone's conduct. Komugi matters to this reading because the attention is specific: a ruler remembering one person creates a different scale of concern from a war between populations. That narrower scale is the complication worth following through the final confrontation.
