REVIVAL

A vertical strip of close-ups shows a scarred, tear-streaked face with wide eyes, followed by Pouf's shocked expression and a dark silhouette panel. The main spread erupts into chaos: a massive muscular figure with wild hair roars while clutching a limp body, white-winged Pouf clings desperately to the figure's arm, and several tiny characters tumble through debris. Enormous stylized Japanese characters explode across the center. At the bottom, a small character looks up and cries 'YOUR MAJESTY' as the king is struck.

A massive close-up reveals the King's battered, monstrous face twisted in pain, eyes half-lidded and mouth agape amid heavy shading and debris. Below, two reaction panels show a spiky-haired boy with wide, tear-filled eyes shouting in alarm, followed by a close-up of a scarred, sweating man's grimacing face. In the large bottom panel, Pouf hovers powerfully with massive feathered wings spread wide, arms crossed over his chest, surrounded by floating small creatures and debris. The spiky-haired boy lies collapsed on the ground nearby. Pouf's intense expression conveys urgency as he declares the King's condition. Someone shouts, "BUT ......" Another voice cries, "HE'S BREATHING!!" A desperate voice adds, "GOD-DAMMIT" and "IF WE DON'T HURRY, THE KING WILL....!!!"

A large top panel shows Pouf's winged form from below with dramatic speed lines, as he shouts about the King's dire state. Two small panels follow with the spiky-haired boy's shifting expressions, from shock to determination. In a dark panel, Pouf stands with wings flared, small creatures floating around him, declaring his intent. The spiky-haired boy reacts with surprise in the final panels. Pouf yells, "THE KING WON'T MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO PITOU AT THE PALACE!!" and "WE WON'T MAKE IT IN TIME!! NO WAY!!" He then proclaims, "I WILL SAVE THE KING!!" and "IT'S ALL RIGHT ......!!" The spiky-haired boy questions, "HOW ......!?"

In a burst of radiant energy, Pouf hovers with hands clasped tightly before his chest, surrounded by dozens of glowing miniature versions of himself that drift like fireflies through the darkness. With a determined smile and tears streaking his face, he declares his intent. "I'LL GIVE HIM MYSELF TO EAT" and "THAT MUCH SHOULD ....!!" echo from the floating speech bubbles. Below, the scene shifts to Pouf in profile, arm extended forward as he commands his own body. "NOW, MY CELLS!! SPREAD THROUGH HIS EVERY CORNER, HEAL THE KING!!" The words flare outward in bold lettering. A chaotic panel shows Meruem engulfed in roaring black flames and smoke, tiny Pouf figures clinging to him amid the inferno, accompanied by the massive SFX "シャウウウ". Pouf's face appears in close-up, eyes wide and mouth open in exertion as sweat flies from his features.

A massive explosive force erupts across the top of the page with the enormous SFX "シャアアアア" tearing through the panel in jagged strokes. A colossal dark sphere, cracked and under extreme pressure, is struck by a blinding white beam of energy that fractures its surface. Below, Pouf's face appears in extreme close-up, eyes bulging and mouth agape in shock as motion lines radiate outward. Three smaller panels follow: the first shows Pouf's head with trailing dots indicating intense focus or pain, the second reveals a microscopic view of cellular structures marked with "Z" symbols and star-like flashes, and the third depicts a violent radial impact shattering the cellular pattern with sharp black fragments flying outward.

A towering winged figure stands amid roaring white smoke and crackling energy, its massive bat-like wings spread wide. The muscular body is tense, one hand clutching a glowing mass at chest level while the other hangs clenched. Thick black Japanese sound effects explode around the silhouette: シュオオオオオ, ズズズ, ドドド. At the bottom, two narrow panels capture chaotic motion lines and additional heavy SFX ブゴゴゴゴ and シュオオオオオ, emphasizing the violent force radiating outward from the central form.

A massive explosion erupts in the upper panel as a curly-haired figure with flower-like protrusions is blasted backward, eyes wide in shock, surrounded by flying debris and radiating lines. Heavy SFX ブゴゴゴゴ and ゴゴゴゴ fill the air. Below, the scene shifts to a dim interior where a small character with spiky hair leans forward and speaks to an unseen figure: "HOW ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU FEEL...?" A close-up shows the same character with a tense expression, mouth open, labeled "KING ......" as the word hangs in the air.

In a lush, otherworldly landscape dotted with strange towers and floating islands, several small winged fairies flutter through the air. One fairy speaks with delight, declaring that an indescribable power is quickly filling her and that its delicious taste is like breathing the air from the Garden of Paradise. Another voice identifies the phenomenon as the mist of sprites. Below, a close-up reveals Pouf's face streaked with tears, his wide eyes trembling as he begins to speak. His expression twists in overwhelming emotion as he cries out that he is unworthy of such words.

Meruem's face appears in close-up, sweat dripping as he stares intensely. Pouf, now in a smaller form with clasped hands, offers food and thanks the King profusely, insisting he has prepared plenty for him to eat to his heart's content. Meruem responds that he does not know if he could ever eat anything else after knowing this delicious taste. Pouf suddenly breaks down in anguish, screaming for the King to stop beckoning him to the skies of joy, repeatedly crying out 'KING' while laughing and sobbing. Meruem's face reappears, eyes closed in rapture as tears stream down.

A young boy stares forward with wide, intense eyes. Nearby, a massive winged muscular figure with a crown-like head radiates power and addresses the King directly. 'KING...!!! IN THAT CASE' and 'PLEASE SAVOR THIS AS WELL!!' the figure declares while holding a tiny silhouette in its palm. The King’s small form reacts with a startled exclamation mark. A close-up shows a stern face and an extended finger dripping liquid. The fingertip releases drops accompanied by sharp SFX. A short-haired girl watches intently and mutters 'KUH... GOOD THINKING, YUP!! CHANGING YOUR CELLS INTO A LIQUID STATE...!!' A grotesque open-mouthed face appears beside a wide-eyed infant-like visage reacting with 'オオ... オオ...' and scattered SFX as liquid falls.

Three small angel-like figures pour streams of liquid from the heavens onto a vast surface while exclaiming 'THIS CAN ONLY BE SOMETHING THAT HAS RAINED DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS...' 'TRULY DROPS OF ANGELS...!!' and 'WHAT POWERFUL RICHNESS......' A close-up shows a face in profile declaring there is no time to hesitate between choices. Another panel depicts a damaged structure with motion lines. The King’s massive face fills the frame, eyes gleaming upward as he demands 'ALL YOU HAVE... BRING IT TO ME...' and states 'THIS ISN'T ENOUGH, MORE...!! BOTH... OF YOU,' while powerful SFX radiate around him. The bottom of the page is filled with repeating bold circular SFX patterns.

In a radiant cosmic expanse filled with blooming flowers and swirling petals, the spiky-haired boy throws his head back in overwhelming emotion, tears streaming as he cries out in supreme joy. Beside him, the head-covered child gazes forward with a calm, steady expression. Towering above them, the long-haired winged figure arches backward with mouth agape in a primal scream of ecstasy, one arm raised triumphantly. Large speech bubbles erupt across the scene: the boy declares "THIS SUPREME JOY!!", a voice answers "WITH PLEASURE!!", a massive central bubble proclaims "MY KING!!!", another affirms "YES", and a final declaration states "THERE CAN BE NO HIGHER THAN THIS PINNACLE!!" The entire composition radiates intense, flower-strewn euphoria centered on the winged figure's exaltation.

Close-up panels capture raw reactions. The bearded elder's face contorts in agony, mouth stretched wide as he gasps "THIS FEELING...!?". Next to him, the spiky-haired boy stares with wide, shocked eyes, asking "WHAT IS THIS...!?". Below, the head-covered child looks upward with solemn intensity and states "CALL ME... MERUEM" followed by "FROM NOW ON...... YOU MAY". The final wide panel shows two faces side-by-side, their surfaces cracking and shattering like broken glass or stone under immense pressure, eyes wide with stunned realization as dark fractures spread across them.

The skeletal figure with a cracked, flame-wreathed head rears upward in a burst of energy and swirling particles. Its body is half-buried in the massive, broken skull of the creature beneath it. With mouth open wide, it shouts, 'THAT IS MY NAME ....!!!' The words 'GIVEN TO ME BY MY MOTHER,' appear beside it. The enormous skull-like head below lies motionless, its empty eye sockets and jagged teeth exposed. Three heavy impact marks strike the ground near its limp hand.

A close-up reveals the Queen with long flowing hair, holding an infant close to her chest. Large text proclaims 'LOVE UNCONDITIONAL'. Narration boxes state: 'THE PINNACLE OF THE SPECIES, THE LEVEL OF THE QUEEN' and 'THE "LOVE" INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS FOR HUMANITY.....!!' On the right side, vertical text reads 'THIS IS' followed by boxes explaining 'IN HIS OCCASION OF ABSOLUTE DEATH AND REVIVAL' and 'AND BY SHARING THEIR "SELVES" WITH THE KING' along with 'WHAT THE TWO REACHED WAS'. A close-up of a face with tears shows the words '...I SEE NOW ...' The chapter number and 'END' appear at the bottom.
