After Meruem nearly dies, Pouf and Youpi offer their own flesh to heal him, experiencing euphoria in fulfilling their duty. The restored Chimera Ant King gains strength but suffers from memory loss. Pouf exploits this condition by sending a clone to the palace to assassinate Komugi before Meruem recalls her. However, the clone is intercepted and struck by Knuckle. Meanwhile, Palm utilizes her unique ability to confirm that Meruem remains alive despite his apparent condition. This sequence occurs within the Chimera Ant arc, specifically episode 53 of 61, highlighting the complex dynamics between the King and his retainers amidst the ongoing conflict.
