1) Komugi-Meruem=Mary and Jesus Christ

2) The Queen-Pitou-Komugi, all these 3 have the role of Mary representing the iconography of the three Marys.

There is a symbolic meaning behind the Atomic Bomb used by Isaac Netero against Meruem at the end of their fight that is connected to the first Nuclear Test.
This test, conducted in 1945 and called the "Trinity Test", was of an implosion-design plutonium device (Atomic Bomb), informally nicknamed "The Gadget" projected by the physic Julius Robert Oppenheimer. The code name "Trinity" was assigned by Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, inspired by the poetry "Holy Sonnet XIV: Batter My Heart, Three-Personed God" of the English poet John Donne. This sonnet describes the nature of “God” (the Trinity) according to Christian Theology, where there is one “God” but three eternal consubstantial persons or hypostasis. As a matter of fact, in the manga, after the explosion of the Atomic Bomb, there is the “resurrection” (regeneration) of Meruem and his unification with Pouf and Youpi (Holy Spirit, God the Father and Jesus the Son) as represented on the cover of Vol. 28, copied from the painting “The Coronation of the Virgin” of the Spanish painter Diego Velazquez. Meruem, Pitou, Pouf and Youpi represent the three aspects of Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, of Christianity (from this, also, the ambivalence of Pitou's gender: Male or Female?)
  • Pouf=God the Father (as shown on the Cover)
  • Youpi=Jesus the Son (as shown on the Cover)
  • Pitou= Virgin Mary (as shown on the Cover)
  • Meruem=Holy Spirit (You must understand it)
The union of Meruem, Pouf and Youpi represent the union of the Trinity (Holy Spirit, God the Father and Jesus the Son) with the coronation of the Virgin Mary (Pitou) as Queen of Heaven.
Meruem, Pouf and Youpi are all 3 "God", one God in three Divine persons. These three persons are distinct, yet are one substance, essence or nature. The event of the manga connects the Christian Trinity to the explosion of the Atomic Bomb representing the first Nuclear Test, the Trinity Test, where the light generated from the explosion of the Atomic Bomb is compared to the splendour of “God”.
During the Trinity Test, Oppenheimer cited a part of the Bhagavad-Gita (The song of God), one of the most sacred parts of the Hindu epic Poem Mahabharata

The event cited by Oppenheimer was represented also from Togashi in the manga because the Chimera Ants arc was based on the epic poem Mahabharata (the war between Humans and Chimera Ants reflects the war between Pandava and Kaurava)

This image behind Isaac Netero on the manga was copied from the statue of Krishna from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, one of the oldest temple of Singapore, where Krishna (Isaac Netero), Avatar of the god Vishnu, in his universal form (Vishvarupa) appears to Arjuna (Killua).

In the chimera ant arc, Togashi wanted to create a situation where a messiah was born in a different species from humanity. Meruem is a Jesus Christ-like character for the Chimera Ants instead of humanity.
Meruem-Pitou-Pouf-Youpi is the same group of the main characters Gon-Killua-Kurapika-Leorio. They are the main characters of the chimera ants
  • Gon=Meruem (The main character of the group, the strongest and more talented/gifted)
  • Killua=Pitou (The killer/fighter of the group, the secondary character, the second in term of "general power/ability")
  • Kurapika=Pouf (the "smartest" of the group, the third in term of "general power/ability")
  • Leorio=Youpi (the "dumbest" of the group, the fourth in term of "general power/ability")

Togashi created these analogies in order to explain that the King and the 3 Royal Guards are like the 4 main characters but from a different specie: Chimera ants instead of humanity.

Chimera ant's main fights:
Main characters: Gon-Killua-Kurapika (new Rat)-Leorio (new Boar)=Chrollo-Hisoka-Pariston-Ging: Main characters adults

In the same way: Meruem-Pitou-Pouf-Youpi=Chrollo-Hisoka-Pariston-Ging.

1) Meruem vs Netero and Zeno=Chrollo vs Zeno and Silva

2) Pitou vs Gon=Hisoka vs Gon
Pitou was the main enemy of Gon in the Chimera ant arc because Pitou is schematically connected to Hisoka, that is the main enemy of Gon in the whole Manga.
3) Meruem and Pitou are the main characters like Chrollo and Hisoka, that are more important than Pouf and Youpi/Pariston and Ging.

Chrollo and 12 Genei Ryodan=Isaac Netero and 12 Zodiacs

1) Chrollo (The leader of the Genei Ryodan) vs Hisoka (Dead and Resurrected/Reanimated after an explosion)

2) Isaac Netero (The leader of the Zodiacs) vs Meruem (Dead and Resurrected/Regenerated after an explosion)
The resurrection of Hisoka and Meruem: 2 different kinds of Jesus-resurrection

Hisoka vs Chrollo and Hisoka vs Gon


Chrollo and Hisoka will fight 2 times because:

Reason 1
Chrollo at the centre of Genei Ryodan= Tao (Isaac Netero/Yang/White Hair+Beyond Netero/Yin/Black Hair) at the Centre of Zodiacs:

  • Chrollo vs Hisoka (First Fight)=Isaac Netero vs Meruem of Chimera ants from Dark Continent (with the explosion-Death-Resurrection of Hisoka/Meruem)
  • Chrollo vs Hisoka (Second Fight)=Beyond Netero vs ???? of Calamities from Dark Continent
Reason 2
Chrollo (Black Hair/Yin) vs Hisoka (White Hair/Yang) is a reversed form of Gon (Black Hair/Yin) vs Hisoka (White Hair/Yang):


-Gon vs Hisoka: First fight in Celestial Tower. After there will be a real fight (a second fight) in the real world
-Hisoka vs Chrollo: First fight in Celestial Tower. After there will be a real fight (a second fight) in the real world
