Netero was definitely the true embodiment of experience, and the strength of humanity. One of the most legendary old people in anime

[@ryanhobbs6407]

Realistically, Prime Netero was 1.25, maybe 1.5 his strength at the Meruem fight, because Netero did spend a decent chunk of time warming up and re training back his strength when he realized he wouldn't stand a chance in hell against the king. I'm of the mind he didn't fully close the gap, but partially returned for his own fall. However, the problem with assuming that this double stats Netero doesn't make a difference in the fight is that while Meruem could see the tiny paths and half ideas that left gaps in Netero's defense, being TWICE as fast at striking would turn those windows into things that may literally be unexploitable by The King. Yes, Hypersonic doubled doesn't change speed categories, but flying at Mach 4 and Mach 8 are different beasts to react to. Even doing the absolutely negligible damage Netero was doing would eventually wear down Meruem, and marginally increasing the battering while severely decreasing his gaps that can be taken advantage of is likely enough for Netero to either kill Meruem or for Meruem to develop a technique/just leave because the fight isn't worth it and Chairman Netero can't one shot him or even likely run him down.

[@ryven86]

Netero, after spending his time training back up, referred to himself as half as strong as he'd been in his prime. He would have had a better gauge of his own power than anyone else, given to those around him he was still an unfathomable beast, so they'd naturally think he was downplaying himself. And it's not like there are many people around from his prime to be able to compare him.

You're not wrong, but you're also ignoring the fact that Meruem was trying to win without killing Netero. Just killing him outright is a much simpler task then then removing all his limbs one at a time mid-combat to force him to admit defeat

[@lmntlbreakdown7202]

Seems it is, but it seems more like Emission & Manipulation too me The Buddha statue is made of his raw Nen formed in the shape representing his ideals, not a conjured item And the immense amount of aura needed to emit this statue comes from his true affinity as an enhancer Plus enhancement for the physical component of the technique as the statue is only propelled to such power by the speed of his physical prayer an following hand movement So think it's an Enhancement, Emisssion, and Manipulation ability

I think this makes Netero absolutely terrifying. Assuming he uses Conjuration and Manipulation, he’s using his 2 weakest men attributes (given that he’s an enhancer) and he still whoops ass with it. Hell, even if it’s emission and manipulation, that’s still not his strongest attribute.

Honestly i js realized man speed scaling is so wack because in anime the physics are different, like u telling me when netero somehow was able to move fast enough to be invisible while having to likely use the walls around him on that FREAKIN BOAT and there was absolutely no damage to the surrounding walls and dawg is just able to defy innertia? Bc like how he stop behind them, standing straight up without literally barrling through them or into the wall in front of him his feet could not possibly have a grippy factor strong enough for the friction of his feet against the floor to be able to stop his body moving at speed that fast.

It isn't just anime. In pretty much all comics supposed regular mundane materials take on properties that range from more frail than reality to ridiculously strong as convenient. It would be really hard to lift huge objects with normal sized hands, the material would fall first.

[@begundal8379]

My opinion is that Netero's nen ability consist of: Emission for the Budha thing Manipulation to move the Budha Enhancer for the power/speed of the strike The actual power(except zero hand) mainly cames from Enhancer category. I can say it's practically an Enhancement punch WITH Range. It's not a pure enhancer but we have to remember that the limitation he have to do to create the Budha. He have to do that motion on EACH attack, so by nen rule, that's normally severe enough, he just practically bypass it by making it super instant. So in conclusion, i think, even though he is an enhancer, the Guanyin is not reducing/squandering his potential/strength like Kastro did with his Clone ability. Netero have a well thought ability. So with Netero's physical attack and speed as basis for the Budha's strength, i can say he have a really high chance of defeating Meruem. Netero being twice as strength doesn't always means Meruem takes double damage, it can mean Netero can bypass Meruem's nen defense and deals an actual damage to his body, also with an increased speed, Meruem will not have that many chance to maneuver around. So yeah, i am confident that prime Netero can win, at least against Pre-rose Meruem.

[@Mj783980]

I dont understand how you can call Meruems state after the rose "survival", in the sense that you count it towards his durability. Before his royal guard got there to fully revive him, he would have died where he laid. As an analogy, 50 cent was shot 9 times and "survived." Is he bullet level durability? The state he was in after being shot would have killed him had he not been rushed to get medical treatments. Your durability logic doesn't make sense to me unless the state you're reduced to after an attack is something you can survive without a massive amount of outside help.

Meanwhile meruem kinda survived a bomb that can evaporate a city. He had like 4th degree burns but if that's all he got from such a powerful attack then it's pretty darn hard to kill him. Basically the use of him kinda surviving isn't about the fact that youpi and pouf helped him.

Physics critique on your final point @27:18 there are plenty of things that when adding force, the power increases exponentially. Doubling the speed of a swinging knife =/= doubling its penetrating force; see bullets. A bullet 2x bigger does not mean it has 2x the destructive power! Edit: still agree with your point though

[@ExplorersXRotmg]

Yea and a big part of breaking durability is the initial threshold. See Hydraulic Presses for example. A 10% increase in force can lead from something slightly deforming to utterly exploding. This is why I think a 2x as strong Netero would do quite significant damage to meruem with his thousands of strikes causing meruem to get weaker progressively. Old netero was bruising and gashing meruem, prime netero would be doing much more than that and that might make meruems power drop quite rapidly as the fight dragged on. Prime Netero's increased strike speed & reaction time might negate meruem's pattern recognition because if you're slower than me it doesn't matter if you can predict my next move I'll just change it while I see you adjusting out of the way.

Although we would come to a similar conclusion (which may make this meaningless), my ONLY critique is saying that the rose bomb was at least twice as powerful as zero hand but if Netero was twice as strong then it would be as powerful as the rose bomb (granting “at least”). And sure the rose bomb didn’t outright kill him but he was literally laying there dying and would’ve died if it wasn’t for Pouf and Youpi showing up. The knife analogy doesn’t fully work given you’re not just doubling tens of pounds more, you’re doubling millions of pounds of explosive power. Power we can’t even fathom. Still though, I love the video and think it’s the best when tackling the question. Anyone who disagrees please feel free to share why that’s just my take. Who knows maybe I misunderstood.

[@kukuki5000]

27:00 I don't know how to count it but 2x power =/= 2x damage. Like if you fire a bullet and then fire a second one with twice the power, the second one would go deeper than just 2x. I might be talking out of my ass, tho I think it works more exponentially than linearly.

[@arfanik9827]

no you're totally right, durability isn't a linear scale. There's a point where the damage you cause to Meruem would get significantly worse as you grow in strength. So let's say he got lightly injured against old Netero, Prime Netero could possibly injure him heavily or maybe even cut limbs off. It's not as simple as cutting 2x the distance through his skin.

[@xser1ousc0mbatx]

My only issue is with the portions over the black rose bomb, Mereum wouldve died outright to the bomb if he wasnt saved. Mereum didnt tank the black rose. If mereum was left as a burnt half corpse in that crater i dont think he wouldve lasted for long.

[@kylemma33]

We get to see prime Netero in action in his fight against Jed. Neteros's basic punches from his guanyin bodhisattva were like nuclear explosions. The explosions were similar to the rose bomb, in terms of destruction capability. If the rose bomb nearly killed meruem, he would get slammed by prime netero's guanyin bodhisattva punches.

[@kirkmusprime2542]

17 min in and he failed his test. He said Killua conjures chains instead of Kurapika 😂😂😂

[@jesusblanco7657]

The whole rose bomb not killing meruem is a stretch Literally he was on the verge of death , and only survived due to shaiapouf giving him his life force so meruem could survive. Imagine if the bomb was 2x stronger

[@lucario2able]

Agreed. I don't see how he can count Meruem "surviving" to devalue the damage. For all intents and purposes Meruem was done. He had to get healed with like sacrificing life force from another powerful being to survive it. If Meruem had no back up he was DONE.

[@jakecristina54]

The only point you make that I think is off the mark is the damage of the zero hand when prime. A good portion of the damage would be mitigated by defense. You wouldn't be doubling damage inflicted, you'd be doubling damage outright. I agree this still likely doesn't kill but I think it could seriously damage Mereum.

[@nullpoint3346]

My assumption is that the mountain thing was Netero _before_ he learned Nen.

[@squallrulz20]

2 things - are we sure being old actually reduces nen? because it may just reduce physical ability and its not Neteros age that reduced his nen but atrophy from disuse, albeit an irrelevant classification. The second is in regards to Mereums durability to the zero hand. As a more insect like entity is it possible that he is more durable on the outside then inside? like with a turtle shell and that once you get through his hard crunchy exterior its all just soft gooey insides? If 2x the power causes full penetration of Mereums 'carapace' it may actually be enough to be lethal acting under this assumption since the only thing that matters is breaking the armour and having enough left to slap some goop

[@leonli6816]

Well Netero is an human so being that old not having training anymore due to age obviously his nen be weaker. Although the fight be a lot closer for prime netero and meurum. But the old Netero techinally have less battle experience and battle iq

[@archiboldkhoza4]

Your pronouncing of tserriednich really took me for a loop since I'm used to how @NewWorldReview pronounced it

[@bilogskii2216]

Togashi has put clues throughout the story on how strong Gon and Killua could be and we can also base how strong prime Netero on that. 1. Uvogin wants his big bang to be as strong as an atomic bomb. His fellow spiders doubts him but also said that he's an enhancer so it could be possible. 2. Meruem would have died via miniature rose's power if it weren't for Youpi and Pouf. Pitou also stated that transformed Gon has the ability to beat Meruem which means Gon has the power equivalent to an atomic bomb. Pitou never commented the same thing to Netero. 3. Pitou couldn't cope up with Gon's speed and if we grant that prime Netero is stronger (obviously) he should be at least compared to a royal guard first. Netero could be as strong as Pitou physically in his prime but it's still not enough to match Gon/Meruem. 4. Killua has basically the same ceiling as Gon if not higher. Now Netero is said to be the only person to have fought Maha Zoldyk and lived which we could assume that they fought during their younger days. But Killua is said to be the one who has the highest potential in Zoldyk family history which means at full potential, Killua is stronger than Maha who is basically equal to prime Netero. Based on these, I would say full potential Gon = full potential Killua > prime Maha = prime Netero.

[@y2ksmoothie3]

Gon was not on nuke level. Lmao The most you could literally take from that is he was equivalent to the king at that time. Which means he would die from the same nuke that hit Merueum. Just like anyone else that's ever been nuked

[@inigosusaetaherrera6474]

It is never said that gon can beat meruem, just that he is on his league, meruem defenses are way tougher than adult gons. Also, prime netero is stronger than adult gon without a doubt. You only take basic claims and try to power scale base on bs, prime netero would be stronger and faster than adult gon, and even if you say they are equal on stats, netero had decades of experience in his prime versus an adult gon with less than a year of nen fighting, netero would smoke him.

As I love Netero a lot, I think his prime judging by his age wasn't enough. And in some aspects like the speed of his punch, on the mission was much faster than "Prime" Netero. And what's matter the Nen is your mental state. Which is, imo, the final battle was also his prime.
