I am beginning to wonder if some of the weirder hunters we have met are actually surviving chimera ants from a previous outbreak.

I'm loved y'all pointing out the connections being drawn between fractures appearing in the ant hierarchy, fractures in the east gorteau government and amazingly learning about fractures in the HUNTERS!! I have two differing understandings about the temp hunters: 1) I believe the reason it's important that only take jobs from the board is that they aren't even taking jobs from "the public" (for example, the mafia community) so they don't participate in the shaping the world based on their own ideology in the way hunters respect. 2) The part I feel less confident about: my understanding of temps as hunters "hired by the association" was that they hadn't even necessarily passed the hunter's exam. I don't have any evidence for this and could have just been me reading into the contempt more conventional hunters have because of point #1

Excellent episode as usual. Struck by how great it is the hosts, and especially Jack, pull in non-anime media as part of the analysis and discussion. Birthday timing has been correct so far. This time being for May birthdays is right.
