The Queen ((じょ)(おう)()()()()()()()(), Joō) is the 186th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Synopsis[]

The weakened and injured Chimera Ant Queen enters an isolated cave to try and recover in order to give birth to the next king. She tries to feed on fish, but realizes they are not enough, resolving to heal her wounds and find larger prey.

Elsewhere, Gon tells Kite that he dropped Ging's Hunter License when they first met on Whale Island. Gon says that he placed the license in his safe deposit box, alongside his own, in Yorknew City, which is quite far from their current location within the Kakin Empire (Yorknew is on the Yorbian Continent, while Kakin is on the Azian Continent). Kite tells Gon to hang on to the license and to give it back to Ging when they finally meet.

Kakin survey group

Kite's group meeting Gon and Killua

Killua asks Kite what he is doing in the area, and he explains that he was hired by Kakin to do a biological survey that involves ecological research and the discovery of new species. While Kite tells the two boys more about the job, the other members of his research team arrive. Kite introduces Gon and Killua to the group, amazed to learn that Gon is Ging's son and Killua is from the famous Zoldyck Family. The members of the group then introduce themselves one by one: Spinner Clow, Monta Yuras, Lin Koshi, Stick Dinner, Banana Kavaro, and Podungo Lapoy.

After the introductions, Kite invites Gon and Killua to come along and help find new species. The job entails taking pictures of creatures they believe to be new species. The camera they will use automatically cross-references the photo against a database to see whether or not it is indeed an undiscovered animal. If it is a new species, the picture should be sent to a specific number and within a few minutes, it will be registered along with the discoverer's name. The group then talks about one of their latest discoveries, the Camp Tiger. These tigers use fire to cook their prey, instead of eating it raw like most.

Upon nightfall, the group gets to work, and Gon and Killua take off on their own. Kite and the other members are amazed at Gon and Killua's abilities and skills. Kite notes that the other members rely on their experience and knowledge, while Gon and Killua blend in with the environment and hunt with all five of their senses, only possible because of their skillful use of aura. He is confident that Gon will surely find Ging soon, describing him as the real thing and adding that real Hunters are liked by animals and blessed with good friends.

The Queen unable to satiate her appetite

Meanwhile, the Chimera Ant Queen is still in despair over the fact that the fish she caught isn't enough to regain her strength. She proceeds to grab a bat as it flies by her head and finds that even that is not enough, repeating that she needs not only more sustenance, but bigger prey.
