As a friend pointed out after watching the video: I am absolutely irredeemable at math. If you notice, you notice. See ya! EDIT: as "Mdln-co8vx" noticed (or at least noticed and commented first) so allow me to clarify: I wanted to say that Meruem is at least DOUBLE (or 100%) stronger than Netero, not 50%. The Hisoka point rating is as I intended, the presented math is not since I have the math skills of a 6th grader).

Maybe yes, but Morel's prowess comes from strategy and a really versatile ability, not so much from pure strength. So I still belive he would be weaker than all the zodiacs by some margen, which is why people would understimate him. While Netero knows how capable he and his disciples are to fight people much MUCH stronger than them.

1:40 One thing I notice about the selection here is the prevalence of 1’s. One other thing I notice here is the outliers. There’s a 5, a 4.5, and 3. Substantially higher. If you remove those 3 highest and average them, you’d get around 4. But then the average for the rest plummets to around 1. So, I’d say that you could probably place hunters into a scale or brackets of power, with some low-tier scrubs at 1, some mid-tiers at 4, some high tiers at say 7, and then the zodiacs at 8.5 as the elite of the elite. And then Hisoka at the top as a 10. 5:31 Oh shit, that high tier guess was the exact average of your educated bounds, lolololol

The only reason Meruem took any damage from Netero's first hit is because he didn't have Ren up. He took zero damage from the rest of Netero's regular attacks, and when Netero put 100% of his Aura into one big blast (with conditions boosting it), it only moderately injured Meruem. On top of that, Meruem was holding back the entire time, careful not to kill Netero. I'd put Meruem 10x stronger than Netero, minimum. I'm personally leaning towards 100x.
@memebase66524 ай бұрын
But without the pillars Meruem has literally zero chances to hit Netero. Plus he took minimum damage after like 50-100 hits. If the fight had continued Netero would have won because I don't see him losing a stamina battle. This man literally prayed 2 years straight.

It's really posiblee to have someone like a lost languages hunter who's nen allows him to enhance his understanding of any language spoken to him. He could even be a master like komugi at it. That still doesnt make him a fighter thus the 2.4 rating. Hunter are from all walks of life not just fighters.

I’m not sure why it makes sense to assume that the ant slaying practice in Knov’s apartment + the meditation brought Netero up to near his prime. I think all that can be said is that Netero prepared himself as best he could given the time constraints. No real way to estimate how strong he was vs Meruem compared to his prime. Also it makes very little sense from my perspective to consider happy-go-lucky Hunter exam arc Netero as only marginally stronger than Hisoka like I saw you mention in another comment.

I know it's not canon, but I still think the databooks do a decent job of ranking certain characters' stats. It is pretty well established that even a diminished Netero was the strongest human character we had seen in the manga. And remember, he also trained from the time he arrived in the NGL to the time he fought Meruem, so he was higher than 50% at that point. Even then, he was a 5/5 in all 6 categories from the databook, for a total of 30. In my headcanon, he was basically peak human at that point, with his prime self surpassing human limits. These are the rankings of the most prominent characters: Netero - Spirit: 5 | Skill: 5 | Strength: 5 | Nen: 5 | Talent: 5 | Intelligence: 5 == 30 Bisky - Spirit: 5 | Skill: 4 | Strength: 5 | Nen: 4 | Talent: 4 | Intelligence: 4 == 26 Chrollo - Spirit: 5 | Skill: 4 | Strength: 4 | Nen: 4 | Talent: 4 | Intelligence: 4 == 25 HISOKA - Spirit: 3 | Skill: 4 | Strength: 4 | Nen: 4 | Talent: 5 | Intelligence: 4 == 24 *********** Razor - Spirit: 4 | Skill: 4 | Strength: 4 | Nen: 4 | Talent: 4 | Intelligence: 4 == 24 Morel - Spirit: 4 | Skill: 4 | Strength: 4 | Nen: 4 | Talent: 3 | Intelligence: 4 == 23 Kite - Spirit: 4 | Skill: 4 | Strength: 4 | Nen: 4 | Talent: 3 | Intelligence: 4 == 23 Knov - Spirit: 2 | Skill: 4 | Strength: 4 | Nen: 4 | Talent: 3 | Intelligence: 4 == 21 There are some notable changes I would make, like bump up Chrollo's and Hisoka's intelligence to 5 each, making their totals 26 and 25, respectively. I would probably make other changes as well, but the gist seems relatively accurate for these characters. In short, I would put Hisoka in the same tier as Bisky, Chrollo, Razor, Morel, and Kite, with any one of them being the winner in a 1 on 1 match, depending on the circumstance and environment. I would also put Black Whale 1 Kurapika in this tier, though we don't have any stats since 2004.

i dont think the average hunter is low its just that hisoka rates himself as 5 times more powerful than the average nen user. i also rate morel higher than know around a 9 because his hatsu is more versitile and he was going toe to toe with a royal guard who i rate as around 15 to 20. as for netero who is easily above 30 as for meruem he is at least 50 . remeber meruem was considered an existenciel crisis for humanity that the world government had to react to him that it took a nuke to kill him. he has so much going for him from his potentiel to broken hatsu to regeneration. he is easily 5 times stronger than hisoka i dont think the government ever saw hisoka as that much of a threat. hisoka would probably struggle against silva or razor . obviously hisoka would disagree with me but we all know he overrates himself a bit.

Id give my rankings here! But note, im working under the assumption, these arent linear values, and that a 10, isnt what hisoka is, but where his ideal standard is, also, this is nen quality, which doesnt ential combat ability, but simpy how pronounced there aura is (or essentially theyre mastery/potentially output) Hisoka himself = 10, because he would enjoy fighting himself greatly, and has great nen mastery and output efficiency Chrollo = 10, hisoka is far more interested in chrollo than almost any other character (ignoring potentials in characters like gon) Morel = 7.5, he will beat morel, but find him interesting, but lackluster in output, but intriguing with his intellect Netero = 8, his output in even post training is below the royal gaurd, and he spars with the zodiacs reigulary (but this doesnt imply a speed, or hax, just output efficiency and mastery) Ging = 12, he will find ging to have rivaling nen output since gon and killua are 1-10m talents, ging represents that talent manifsted at minimum (and we seen adult gon) Royals = 11.5, theyre above netero in nen quality, and should have higher output than hisoka, but arguably less or just as efficient as hisoka God speed killua = 8.5, strong nen quality (stated to rival squandron leaders in base) but God speed doesnt affect his output directly only the literal substance of his aura, with very strong hax But simply put: Hisoka ≈ the royal gaurd in term's of 1 on 1 combat Royals > Hisoka in aura quality
