Ep. 133: Ikalgo and Palm orchestrate a hostage exchange with Welfin to negotiate for their friends.
Aired on June 11, 2014
Ikalgo and Palm send Welfin to arrange a hostage exchange with Mereum, revealing they were originally Gyro's subordinates and believing Gyro is reborn as a Chimera Ant. Welfin meets Youpi but interrogates him after learning the Royal Guard has no human memory. Meanwhile, Pouf discovers Pitou's corpse puppets have stopped working and finds Youpi dead, alerting Meruem. Meruem, having regained memories from the word "game" and a Gungi King piece, declares the Royal Guard has forfeited. Palm and Ikalgo hide Komugi, stalling for time because Meruem is slowly dying from radiation poisoning caused by exposure to the Miniature Rose.
