Hunter x Hunter 297

Hi, I'm the king. I'll act like I'm some sorta god and babble on about biological superiority in really long drawling sentences.
I'm gonna keep up doing these, regardless of how fast other people are doing them. I'm not getting the issues earlier than the public as of now.

No.297 ◆ End
King: What is the matter?
If you do not hurry and stop the blood, you'll die, won't you?
Netero: Don't make me laugh.
Side: An insurmountable difference in power...

Netero: Who's gonna die?

Page 3:
Netero: Don't get conceited just because of one lucky punch.
The real battle will start here.
全く以て感服する
As a matter of fact, I admire you.
気力が些かも衰えていないのは驚異だ
That your willpower hasn't diminished even a little is miraculous.
半ば必然
But with the loss of your leg, it is somewhat inevitable.
悪手とは言えぬまでも正着ではない防御が招いた結果だ
Though I would not go so far as to call it a bad move, but the improper move on your defense is what invited it.
コムギの対局が
Through my games with Komugi
予知のごとき先見を可能にした
I've developed a foresight like that of precognition......!!
貴様が無意識に嫌う型......その存在が
You unconsciously have forms you dislike...... The existence of that
本来無限であるはずの選択に標を示すのだ
guides you to your choice out of the normally limitless selection.
Next
I'll take your left arm.

Netero: This...

Page 5:
Box: From there, the battle of offense and defense
did not last even a minute of time.
Black Box (Netero): is the end of my lifetime.
Box: The Hyakushiki attacks that Netero sent out with that resolve
互いの力量精神の高揚と相まって
coupled with their mutual exhilarated power and spirits

Page 6-7:
千を超える拳の遣り取りとなって
Narration: the number of fists they exchanged surpassed one thousand
and created a countless number of sparks between the two.
and then
that moment
arrived.

Page 8:
僅かに顕れる技の偏り
A small appearance of deviation in technique,
くせや傾向・型と呼ぶにはあまりに乏しい「ゆらぎ」
a "fluctuation" which was too meager to be called a habit, tendency, or form.
By using his body as a shield against the constant barrage of Netero's fists, the king
searched for the faint light he could see in the distance. And then
he
reached it.

King: With this
you are satisfied, yes?
SFX: Zah
King: Now, speak it
my name.
Netero: Kukku
King of Ants
do you think that without an arm
I can't pray?

Page 11:
Netero: Prayer
is a gesture
of the heart.
The Hyakushiki Kannon
Zero No Te is
TL Note: 100 Style Kannon (The Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion) - Zero Palms
心が正しく形を成せば想いとなり
Gray Bars: If the heart accomplishes proper form, it becomes thought
想いこそが実を結ぶのだ
and thought is what bears fruit.

Page 12:
Narration: From behind the enemy
a Kannon appears

Page 13:
有無を言わさぬ
Narration: and without
leaving a moment to speak
慈愛の掌衣でもって
tenderly wraps the target
対象を優しく包み込む
in the dressing of the palms of compassion.
先日キルアが数里も先からその殺気に気付き
The result from accumulated mental concentration work which several days earlier,
進路を変えた程の精神統一の業を経て蓄積した
Killua noticed that murderous intent many kilometers away and changed his course.
Killua (flashback): I shouldn't go this way after all. [From chapter 234]
Narration: All of the aura
in Netero's body
目も眩む恒星のごとき
was changed into a bullet of light
光弾に変え撃ち放つ
like a dazzling star, and shot out.
SFX: KIIIII

A howl

of mercilessness.

King: It was an amazing attack.
Netero: Not even the Zero............
生命の頂点に立つ事を許された
King: I received the life of king of the ants, permitted to stand at the peak of living things.
それは種全体の本能に基く悲願であり種全体が余の為だけに進化する
This stems from the dearest wishes in the instincts of every species in this world. They have evolved solely for me.
我は種全体の惜しみ無い奉仕の辿り着いた賜
I am the resulting gift reached through the generous service of all species.
You are one human and not a king.
I am the king entrusted with the lives of all species.
それは勝敗を分かつ境！！
That is the dividing line for victory or defeat!!
機能したキメラの生態に
Against my chimera biology whose function collected all of the long reached pinnacles of evolution into me,
多様な個の有り様を許した人間が敵う道理など無いのだ
there is no reasoning for how a human, a species which has been allowed many diverse individualities, could be able to match me.

Page 19:
King: However
繁殖に人類を利することは無くなった
there will be no more taking advantage of humans by breeding with them.
For I have observed that human's strong sense of "self"
蟻の統率を著しく乱す事がわかった故
considerably disturbs the leadership of ants.
貴様の免じ特区を設け人類の永住を許可しよう
Out of consideration for you, a special zone will be prepared where mankind will be permitted to have permanent residence in.
食用にする人間も選定の際に数や質を考慮する
And in the cases where humans are chosen as food, their number and nature will be taken into consideration.
貴様の孤独な闘いは
Your lonely battle will
not have been in vain.
Now I should never have to say this again
tell me my name...!
Netero: ..........
Kukuku
I'm
not alone...
Don't look down on humans,
Meruem...!!
Side: Netero announces the name...!!
Bottom: Hunter X Hunter
... No.297 / End
Having reached his limit, Netero shows the obstinacy of humans! Next issue, the complete conclusion!!
