Also the women are out of the picture again except Komugi becoming Meruem's new waifu. I only can't overlook that both sides again got a convenient writing boost Knov leaving his shoes could at least be explained by stress, but it's hard not to see another spontaneously materialized third party in the palace who doesn't have the King's best interests at heart and another excuse for Neferpitou to drop her guard a bit as anything but attempts to walk back the writing fumble of making the ants that overpowered. It almost reminds me of Death Note or something. Lots more back-and-forth theorizing and scheming, but much better at keeping viewers' attention than last time. So I would say really stretching things, BARE MINIMUM she's 15 or 16 but more likely older and could be as old as 30 but I doubt she's much older than that. They also occasionally refer to her as "woman". Of course it's also entirely possible she's 30 and made the technique when she was 20, which would probably be the most realistic assumption, but this is anime and most people don't seem to read her as being that old. Still kind of nuts that she would come up with a well known technique at such an age but a little more reasonable than her doing at 6 years old.

There's no explicit age given but generally people place her minimum age as mid to late teens but even that puts her coming up with a well known gungi move that was even put in strategy books at the age of like 5 or 6, which for anime is potentially possible, but I think a far more reasonable assumption is she was maybe 10, 11, or 12 when she came up with the technique which would place her as 20-22.

Remember she came up with the technique that Meruem used and that she had to defeat 10 years ago.
