OuMugi

"Though I may not be worthy, allow me to go with you."

- Komugi to Meruem.

Oumugi is the het ship between Meruem and Komugi from the Hunter x Hunter fandom.

Canon
The two of met when the Chimera Ant King Meruem forces Komugi, a blind world champion of the board game Gungi, to play against him. He is unable to beat her in a single try, and he two develop mutual respect for each other as they continue playing. Meruem's royal guards acknowledge that the King has more patience with Komugi than anyone else, as she was the only person Meruem was willing to tolerantly listen to. Shaiapouf prevents himself from killing her because she was the only one who had surpassed the King for so long and still managed to improve her game.

Meruem later saves Komugi from being attacked by a bird although initially aiming to kill her, and questions his feelings towards her. He also becomes enraged when Komugi is severely injured during an assault on the palace, and Neferpitou risks their life to heal her because of how important she is to the King. After being healed Komugi desperately wants to know where Meruem is and becomes angry when no one will give her an answer.

Near the end of the arc, hearing Komugi's name is all it takes to cure Meruem's amnesia from his resurrection. Aware that he has been poisoned, Meruem says he'll do anything to spend his final moments with Komugi and the pair reunites for one final Gungi contest. Komugi is overwhelmed by happiness and both of them believe that they were born for this moment. Meruem tells Komugi to leave so the poison doesn't kill her too, but she stays so she can die with Meruem. At his request she calls him by his name as he dies in her arms. At the end of the Election arc they are shown holding hands in death.

Fanon
Oumugi is easily the most popular het pairing in the Hunter x Hunter and is shipped to some degree by most of the fanbase.

Before their deaths, Komugi says to Meruem "I may not be much, but please, let me accompany you". This is an old-fashioned way for Japanese women to accept a marriage proposal. The fact that Komugi used it, leads some shippers to believe they were an official couple or even that they got married. However, romance between the two was never explicitly confirmed.
