I think that Pitou's dialogue about Gon in the manga makes an even stronger argument for Gon being able to kill Meruem. Pitou has the features of a cat, and all felines rely on kill shots when hunting prey by using their fangs to target vitals. So the statement "As I feared, his fangs might even sink into the king!" would most literally mean that Gon cannot only harm Meruem but also kill Meruem if done successfully.

This video really highlights what sets Hunter X Hunter apart from pretty much every other Shonen anime. In Hunter X Hunter, *everyone* is a threat. Even characters that appear to be weak on the surface have abilities that can, depending on the situation, make them an extremely valuable asset. As a result, Gon and Killua can't just punch/fireball their way out of every situation they're in. They need to form alliances and develop clever strategies. It's sad because I don't think we'll ever see a show like it again. Even the ones that have shown promise in recent years tend to go off the rails and fall victim to power creep after two or three seasons. Togashi is truly in a tier of his own when it comes to world building.

Yeah u're totally right, HxH isn't just about "who beats who", it's full of variables and actually makes it look like the fights are using everything in their possible use to win, like when they turned of the lights to kidnapp Chrollo cause it would slow 1 sec of reaction of the Spiders. Or when Kaito realizes Pitou's power and instantly send Gon and Killua to gtfo cause they hadn't 1% of chance to win. It's a world which in you *almost* can never resort in good guy's protagonist power to solve problems, or sudden transformations in the middle of battles that destroy the consistency of technical battles. Not everyone is made only to duel 1v1 like crazy like in other shonens. Basically if a character say fuck it and go all in agaisnt almost anyone in HxH without a strategy or technical thinking, he is prob going to lose/die. That's years and years ahead of main characters screaming and raising power level/gaining new powers to overtake some threat.

In terms of clever battle systems, I'd say Jojo is on par with HxH, arguably even better. Especially the last two manga parts. If only HxH was actually still being written consistently, it'd probably be my favourite manga, because the worldbuilding/fantasy aspect is phenomenal. It was very enjoyable to read HxH after Jojo, because you can see how nen abilities get influenced more and more by stands in each passing arc.

Just a correction: If Killua is the one making the request to Nanika, the cost will be pretty much a chocolate at most, as long as he is the one to receive her next request, which is the Killua's big secret: He does not get charged heavily for his requests to Nanika, making them together pretty much unbeatable. Which also raises the question: "Couldn't Killua just ask Nanika to restore Gon's Nen?". Still, having Killua rewarded with infinite power after his character progression from former Pro Assassin to the kindest brother in contrast to Gon ending completely powerless after his journey from kind former "escort" to "fuck myself, I am blasting your head because I think you killed my friend that is not actually that and just became a girl instead...". So I like this ending of both characters and honestly cannot think of a proper way to bring either of them back to the story without making it feel forced. Gon had his journey, met his father, which was his goal when becoming a Hunter, finished his journey, lost his powers (which also means that he will not be attracting foes due to the "non-written rule"), and can go back to his peaceful life on the island... Killua learned to find himself, reunited with his most beloved sibling, and will be a great brother after his whole journey with the others so far.

This is the best video I have seen on the subject, I love it when a Manga/Anime fan actually talks in the respective logic that comes within the manga. I fell in love with the concept of Nen exactly because its not some power level thing like other old school Mangas. The Concept of Nen and especially rhe concept of technique and fight IQ makes things complex and yet interesting. I myself thought that the kings guard youpi himself could pose a threat to the king in terms of his power output. Especially when the king once intended to kill pitou and yet she withstood the attack, which surprised the king. Meaning the kings guards themselves had growing potential. But Pitou is a special case, since on one hand his aura was ferious and more of a beast nature, on the other hand in his fight with all the different nenusers he seemed to gain a lot of knowledge on aura and nen usage. Especially his body that shapeshifted into advantageous forms depending on his instincts and what he needed was very interesting.

That's incorrect, he was defeated because humanity's malice is even greater than the ants' potential through evolution, humanity's malice being incarnated in the form of a poisonous bomb. Meruem's internal conflict between his beast and human side was the central theme to his character's development, but not to his ultimate demise.

The issue with Camilla and Cat's Name is we don't know if the Cat it's self is invulnerable. Being Post Mortem Nen it's no doubt pretty strong but remember Meruem is INSANELY fast and strong, during his fight with Netero he was able to make 16 attacks in a second and after absorbing the powers of Youpi and Pouf it was said by Pouf his speed at least quadrupled, so 64 attacks in under a second... Even if he was cocky and let Cat's Name grab him there's no guarantee he couldn't break free either, Meruem is strong enough to obliterate Chimera Ant heads into a bloody mist with a casual flick of his tail when freshly born. The other question has to deal with how much Life Force Meruem has, Cat's Name revives Camilla by leeching Life Force from her Killer leading to their ultimate death, we know it takes enough to kill a normal Nen wielder but Meruem has a ton of Aura and possibly a ton of Life Force too because of how many lives the Queen poured into making him so we don't know if Cat's Name can siphon that much Life Force off

The other issue I brought up is we don't know how much Life Force Cat's Name drains or how much Meruem has: since Meruem has had a ton of resources poured into him by the Ant Queen we can assume he's got more than an average person in Life Force, so the question becomes does Cat's Name only drain enough life force to fill it's tail and revive it's user (and that amount happens to be enough to kill most enemies) or does it drain it's victim dry?

Nah I'd say it only matters if you there isn't a huge power difference. No way leorio is ever winning against meruem with any scheme. Power still matters unless you have literal hax like aizen or yhwach. It doesn't resist the 1v1 there is barely any fights that don't happen to have the main cast present. Therefore we never get to see many fighters at maximum output or near death fights. Hell we haven't seen many of the spiders in a REAL fight. But half of them are dog water noncombatant anyway. Situation really isn't everything. A 1v1 is a 1v1. Power has been a very consistent thing in hunterxhunter. The whole point of meruem was that he was so op they had to nuke his ass.

@@55thstreet66 very interesting you mention this as this was one of meruems thoughts at one point, mentioning that the raw power of violence , absolute strength trumps every other talent. He realizes how someone with a gifted talent even much greater than his in some other aspect can be easily killed by his hand. I think the whole situation played the bigger role here, an ominous being who couldve probably killed 1/3 (or more) of the human population before dying grew to think that he was born for the moments he shared with komugi, a giant turned by an ant. At a point he also recognized their own pitfall, that they are part human. What I mean to say is that no one thing *won* here, not power not random circumstances, they both played out as they did.

Tonpa does not actually use nen as it would distract him from using his true power. he uses a completely different power system known as flavorless laxatives where he can force feed people orange juice to make them poo their pants. this worked on meruem who does not even wear pants.

We don't know exactly how Camilla's ability works on a condition clearing level, though. Sure, we know the cat nen beast materializes if she is physically killed but what happens after that isn't completely clear. Does the cat actually have to quickly catch the killer with it's claws in a speed blitz? If so, than it would seemingly be possible for a fast enough target (which Meruem probably is) to evade it's attack and come out unscathed. Or is capture of the target just guaranteed by the strength of Camilla's death condition, meaning the target is either compelled not to escape through manipulation or the cat can match the target's speed or teleport to wherever they go indefinitely? Perhaps even more importantly, what does it actually DO to the target? By which I mean; is the target's body immediately converted into life-giving spirit energy once enveloped by the cat's paws? Or, does the cat have to physically crush their body to kill them first? If it's the latter, Camilla probably doesn't have enough aura output to form a creature strong enough to overpower and then crush Meruem to death. And I think it's questionable that even nen after death could bridge a gap that big.

I soooo agree with you... Since also... Camila has a cat... How many lives does a cat have? Ig 9... Maybe.. Just a theory.. She has a limited amount of lives.. And like you said. Maybe the cat has to catch someone quickly.. Or.. Has to defeat the killer of camila.. Or maybe like you said.. A physical murder is the condition to awaken the cat.. So many questions. But i theory. Yes she can.. Also... I dont think phinks need 100k spins. Like be read.. The spins double his attack power. I think. So I'd say in 15 spins he'd do as much damage as neteros first hand.. And ley me make something clear.. You know about the pa scale right? Soo ib theory.. Phinks's attack hits with as much force right?? Buttt.. The pascal scale says that it has to be force and square meter.. Sooo.. It might have as much power as neteros attack.. One of them.. Butttttt... It has less area damage... My point is that phinks would do more damage to meruem. Waaay more. Cuz its ig a sharper attack? Or less area and same force... Its like swinging a hammer and an axe at the same power... The hammer will do more area damage. But the axe will point all the force in one line. Which is how things cut.. Like axes and knives.. Sorry for the boring explanation of my theory 😅😅.. Soo to sum my argument... I'd say in 30 spins he'd one shot meruem.. Depending if it hits his head or arm... Since one kills and one doesn't..

Her killing intent wont work on individual that figure out the flaw with her ablity like Benjamin. I am sure meruem will fine way to make camila summit without killing her ripping off her limbs.

In regards to Phinks, it's worth noting that according to Knuckle there are 3 different numbers that can be called your 'MAX' aura. One of those numbers is pretty much impossible to raise without a process of training, and this just so happens to be the upper number of the three. As far as we know about nen, Phinks as an enhancer shouldn't have any way of raising his M.A.P. (maximum aura power) during a fight, so that should logically be the cap for Ripper Cyclotron. My guess is that R.C. raises either Phinks' A.A.P., P.A.P., or both. The overpowered aspect of the ability would be that it makes his power output cap at his M.A.P., whereas everybody else in the series is basically stuck at their A.A.P.

@hariman7727

Жыл бұрын

Ripper Cyclotron is a conditional amplifier, so it increases power with every rotation of the arm. It's possible that the amplification combined with the obviously large amount of experience the Spiders have with Nen would mean that the upper limit might be enough to kill Meruem. Pain Packer MIGHT, but what's his name would need to be buffed/able to survive Meruem's first hits. But... it's better to bypass all of those and strike against the Stand User instead of... oops. Wrong series, but the same principle applies.

The last one doesn't necessarily make sense. If his arm rotations have diminishing returns, it could be that there is a logarithmic relationship where there is a defined upper limit to his output. Each time he rotated it would get stronger but with an ever decreasing amount that will approach that upper limit but will never reach it. So even if he rotated an infinite amount of times, it would never actually reach that upper limit, just infinitely close to it.

I just realized ging is basically the shanks of hxh. We know he is powerful and among the top best nen users in the series but we haven't really seen him fight seriously and really know what he is capable of.

He was defeated several times in the story by a Single character, komugi.

To be fair Meruem was only alive for 40 days because of the poison in the rose bomb that Netero used as a last resort, so if Meruem had been immune to poison like the Zoldycks or if Netero's bomb had not went off and released the poison, he would've survived much longer. So all those characters who needed more than 40 days to defeat them, probably could've gotten the time they needed and defeated Meruem.

I really appreciate this video, it’s very rare to hear some grounded theories when it comes to HxH powers. To this day it still bothers me that people treat HxH like your average Battle Shounen. And especially around Meruem, I still see people missing the entire point of the character and the arc (some of y’all are in this comment section) Netero surely crafted a plan for his own amusement, but he was no fool and knew exactly how strong the Royal Guard and Meruem were. Remember that he implanted a bomb into himself as last resort in case he wasn’t capable of handling the job. For how nuts the guy is, if there were a Hunter he knew could do the job easily, he would’ve at least brought him/her along (I don’t think he blew himself up for no reason) Given all of this, sure, there might be some incredible Hunters we yet know nothing about, but when it comes to battle prowess, Netero was surely one the strongest and most seasoned Nen users. Meruem is supposed to be THE strongest character in HxH, or rather the strongest Nen user. He is supposed to be this insurmountable wall that is way stronger than anybody else, because his arc goes to show that: 1) Strength in battle isn’t the only type of strength, and 2) that no matter how strong you are, a nuclear bomb still kills you (and that’s why Chimera Ants are considered just a B level threat) There’s no defeating the guy outright, the only way to kill him is by resorting to “dirty” tricks.

This tells us nothing about their power, it only tells us about how dangerous these entities are to human society. Chimera Ants aren’t an A because, as I said in my original comment, it “only” takes a nuke to dispose of them. And again, the rankings talk about the species of the entity we are considering, not the power of singular individuals of the same category. With this in mind, Meruem can still be the strongest living creature in the HxH universe, but when it comes to extinction level threats, he isn’t one. I’m saying this because a lot of people seem to think we’ll find some Nen user stronger than Meruem in the Dark Continent. Remember, in the manga it is said that Netero was looking for a challenge there but he only found an endless quest for survival. This sort of implies how the nature of the threats faced there is different from the one we are currently used to. Which means few to no Nen users, and a lot of mortal creatures.

Ripper Cyclotron probably acts as an aura multiplier: namely it takes whatever amount of aura Phinks puts into it and multiplies it by the number of windings with there being a limit to the amount he can put in to be multiplied. I assume it's similar to Knuckle's Hakoware, Hakoware takes the amount Knuckle puts into his initial punch and multiplies it every 10 seconds by the interest rate with there presumably being a limit to the amount Knuckle can loan on a single punch

@weribus3569

10 ай бұрын

It's different though because the interest is actually taken from the enemy, it multiplies by taking whatever is in the enemy, so the limit is the enemy's max aura. If Phinks' aura is multiplied, where does the increase in aura come from?

@Crescendobro

10 ай бұрын

@@weribus3569 so Hakoware works like a virus basically. Knuckle injects an initial loan quantity of aura into his opponent which will grow according to the interest rate. His opponent's presumably cannot use the loaned aura for their Hatsu and the aura Knuckle can load into a single punch is also presumably limited, he can't just go loaning out 99% of his aura limit. Hakoware then multiplies the aura loaned inside the opponent until the loan exceeds the opponent's maximum aura at which point it causes them to go Aura Bankrupt for a Month. I compared this to Phinks Ripper Cyclotron because the idea is the same; Phinks puts a little aura into his fist, then the act of cranking his arm multiples the aura in his fist by a certain amount each crank. Both techniques involve investing a little aura then doing certain things to multiply that initial investment for a purpose, either waiting and avoiding getting hit in the case of Hakoware (since enemies can pay back Knuckle's loan by hitting him), or cranking your arm in Phink's case. The pay off and ceiling of the two techniques is different since Knuckle aims to multiply his aura to exceed his opponent's total amount making the target's max aura the maximum amount he can multiply his to but this number can be whatever the opponent's maximum is, like it would have still worked on Youpi if given enough time. Phinks we don't know how much he can multiply his aura using Ripper Cyclotron however I'm guessing he has an upper limit after which he'll start to do damage to his own arm from the intense aura he's channeling though it.

The biggest thing Liam gets wrong is why Pariston is more likely than the other zodiacs is what he talked about 1 minute before that tangent. It's not about raw power its about weird abilities and Parison is clearly more likely to have a goofy hax ability than too be a brute force. Besides that spot on video as always.

Badass-ness I'd go with netero, he know he would die in that battle but still gives the middle finger to the king.

If half of netero's strength barely scratches meruem I doubt him in his prime would make much of a difference

That’s kinda false. At the start of the arc he stated himself to be about half because he is out of shape. By the king fight he is probably close to up to normal strength after the training and prep

half and still cant put a scratch on meruem, nah netero will still lose ( he still needs the bomb)

I’d really like to see a video on who you think the best nen users are from each of their own respective categories like who’s the best transmuter, the best enhancer, the best conjurer, etc

If threat levels are associated with every creature, they are probably based on a certain metric. That metric doesn't matter, whatever it is, on whichever scale. So I presume the hunter association has witnessed the power of every level and classified it accordingly. If that's the case, it is very likely that they have a contingency plan activated at each level. So they could have a Nen User or secret weapon to counter A-level threats.

I had the biggest tears coming from my eyes when he died I was trying really hard to fight them from coming out but they just started and kept coming I miss him still

There's probably a way to make killing the king with Alluka with much less risk. Just make Komugi fail Alluka's four simplest tasks. She'll die alongside Meruem.

There was a comment i agree with, that tagashi mentally screwed know over, bcaue he realized that h wa capable of deeating meruem, especially with invisible chamelion.

I love the video !

I feel like if meruem was trapped in the pocket dimension. His simple urge to escape said pocket dimension, and his massive talent would create a nen ability to escape the pocket dimension

What about some manipulator abilitys that, when active, can command Meruem to kill himself?

Honestly, that's a bit of a blindspot. So far, we haven't seen any limits on controlling creatures stronger than you - but we also haven't really seen it attempted. For all we know, it could be a Bleach scenario where Reiatsu crushes Reiatsu, with Meruem's sheer life force allowing him to be practically uncontrollable.

​@@goldcobraarima9819 But the thing is, does Nen naturally defend against other aura, or does it have to be specialized to do so? If it can, Meruem would probably be immune to everyone shown thus far. If you punch someone with a fist of aura, the opponents aura will block it. My question - with no answer, is that can specialized abilities (not the type) be blocked with basic aura, or does it have to be excorcism-flavored? Nen can counter nen, but can basic nen counter abilities is the question. We don't really know. Say Killua fires a lightning bolt. Using aura to defend yourself almost certainly helps - but does using aura help you against Illumi?

Hi! First off, thank you for mentioning me in a past video (I'm a reddit user who used to be very active in the HxH community and on the wiki, and the shout-out was very, very appreciated). I really liked you eschewing the easy answers of Ging, Pariston, Beyond, and Super Saygon when it came to this topic and actually putting some thought into it. If you don't mind upping your video's engagement: 1. The monkey paw when discussing Nanika was choice. 2. When it comes to Camilla vs. Meruem, it really depends on how her ability works. Can Meruem kill the cat? Can he dodge the cat's paws? If so, how long does the cat remain in existence,? Can the cat even crush him (i.e. is the ability based on physical strength)? 3. We know for sure that Rihan wouldn't be able to do anything against Meruem, and the reason was given by Rihan himself: Predator is ineffective against simple Enhancement and Emission abilities (c.374), and Meruem is a hand-to-hand combatant. Rihan also added that it attacking Enhancers is even worse because it will target the ability user themselves, who can defend against it (c.388). Even forgetting the enormous power differential between the two characters, the way Predator works actually puts Rihan at a disadvantage against Meruem. 4. When it comes to Knov's Scream, we don't know for sure that the ability has no conditions other than getting the opponent inside Knov's aura. It is possible, to be sure. 5. About Phinks, Ripper Cyclotron would be the only Enhancement ability to create aura from scratch, which feels rather unlikely. Gon's Rock increases his aura output, but doesn't let him pour the entirety of his aura into it or generate more aura. It feels fair to speculate that even Netero's Zero Hand was limited to the entirety of his remaining aura reserves. So, going by precedent, Ripper Cyclotron is presumably not limited by Phinks's maximum aura output, but by his aura reserves. It would still result in an extremely powerful punch, well above Rock even with a few rotations. As for *abilities* that might actually defeat Meruem, I would offer Black Voice (if the antenna can even pierce Meruem's eyes, even assuming he's using Ten and not reacting at all) and, perhaps even above it, Instant Lover. We know that Manipulation abilities fail if the target is already being manipulated, but nothing has ever been said about a gap in aura. It hasn't been stated not to be the case, to be sure, but there may be hints that it would theoretically be possible (e.g. Shikaku).

You look like you know your shit so let me ask a Quick question : If Netero's poor man's rose nearly killed Meruem (probably would have if his guards did not healed him) do you think Feitan Can kill meruem ? I mean the dude litterally spawned a sun so that sounds fair to me that he could beat meruem

@tibot4228

2 жыл бұрын

@@fresh4106 In all likelihood, no. We informally refer to Feitan's attack as a sun (also because it's called "Rising Sun" lol), but it's "just" a big ball of fire(-like aura). Had it been a real sun, it would have incinerated the whole planet and burned the atmosphere, plus messing with gravity and spreading radiations all around, but its effect against Zazan was limited to only a relatively small portion of the palace. Granted, it was a "weak" one according to Feitan, but Meruem tanked the entirety of Netero's aura transmuted into searing light/fired as a beam and only suffered superficial wounds. So, while I think a dying Feitan's Rising Sun would have injured Meruem, I think it's extremely unlikely it would have wounded him signficantly.

I came here looking to laugh at the suggestions like ging, gon, maha...... But you know what? Well done bro. All of these are actually possible.

Finally a list that I can actually agree about it!

I have a question about Killua: Why did he not learn Nen from his own family. You could clearly see they are powerfull nen Users. And at what age would you think they would have taught him about Nen ? Would he be Stronger or weaker ?

Nen was obviously not something that Togashi planned, and its very obvious that he didnt have it in mind during the Hunter exam arc. Theres a bunch of plot holes proving this, its a really common trope in a lot of shonen, especially long running shonen, due to enemies always having to power scale.

I think phinks generates aura like an actual cyclotron generates elecrticity. His shoulder rotations are actually an aura production source

2:23 I just thought of a way to circumvent that. Just make a wish that she'll teleport/transport him at "this specific coordinates" and then have a nuke drop there or just go off when he reaches there. Presumably, the only cost is her transporting him, not the eventual impact of the bomb.

I think a main reason why people argue gon could beat the king is because they want the protagonist to be the strongest, and don’t get me wrong I want that as well, but I’m willing to bet that with the dark continent being a concept in motion it’s likely that the characters will have to have some other type of power or ability that will help them survive the enemies there. Surely that new power or ability will allow gon to ascend to levels far above what he was stated to be at when he fought pitou. The counter argument to this is that during that fight he was as strong as he was ever gonna get, well I say that’s as strong as he would ever be with what he knew and could do at that moment in time. I’m certain that adult gon wouldn’t only ever use Rock Paper Scissors to fight his opponents.
