Chimera Ant arc
Bloster attacks the tank
Bloster is first seen alongside Cheetu, complaining about the Queen's lack of the ability to talk as they do. Bloster along with his fellow Squadron leaders, attend Neferpitou's "celebration". If they can survive the pain from Rammot's attack, they'll gain access to their aura, which he's able to do. Bloster and Welfin are told to assist Leol in Peijin. When Flutter disappears, he and Welfin demand a new course of action, but are told no after Leol uses his Nen ability to copy Flutter's. After the Chimera Ant Queen's death[1], he allies himself with Meruem and becomes one of his soldiers. During the Extermination Team's assault on The Republic of East Gorteau Palace, Bloster realizes Flutter (his corpse inhabited by Ikalgo) is a spy and destroys the body. Ikalgo defeats him using strategy, but cannot bring himself to kill him. Thanks to Ikalgo's kindness, Bloster who is still unconscious, is then taken by Welfin and is able to leave East Gorteau with his life.
