Not suggesting that Meruem would have ever lost even without Gungi experience he still wins but still, I genuinely can't see any of the guard having an answer to Neteros speed regardless of 1v3
I believe Meruem only won against Netero because of gungi training so he can strategize against Netero's Bodhisattva attacks. Non-gungi trained Meruem would get slapped indefinitely without getting through Netero's defense. The narrator said that Meruem could feel pain in his body and bruises in the first minutes of the fight with hundreds of slap/punch from the Bodhisattva. Imagine if the fight could go for a few more hours, heck even days! Meruem at the first hour could have broken bones or something and as far as it was established he has no regeneration unless he eats another living thing but only super durability.
@@SouthDraftCorpthere is just no evidence that netero could’ve kept fighting Meruem for days, even in his prime. Even if we say that meruem would never have gotten through(which he totally would have with days of tiring netero out), netero would still run out of aura first. Also just remember that meruem wasn’t even trying in his fight against netero. He compared it to playing down a rook and bishop which is something only a master could do against a child. And last thing, just remember that meruem took a nuke to the face and survived.

In a 1V1 it's debatable since they are physically stronger, faster, and more durable. While Netero is smarter, more skilled, has more experience, and arguably better abilities. In a 3V1 they stomp though.
You did mention that you wouldn't go over if netero had to fight all 3 at once, but it seems as if the power between netero and the royal guards is overwhelming. Why can't netero take on all of the royal guards at once?
Mainly due to stamina issues, the ants have immense amount of nen and dont get tired quickly and could fight for hours if not days at a time, and if netero had to split his focus on 3 people while fighting for hours he would get tired quick and lose
@@zerocreation5327 yeah,33 for each ant,when a holding back netero with 1 hand sent pitou flying for miles.Theyre never getting in range to netero.Even meruem without foresight coudnt preceive it and thought they were infinite combos..Theyre just gonna get juggled and die after a few minutes of being stunlocked.Even if they get 1 or 2 limbs off by sacrifing 2 members to get in range to get a hit off each,cool now he erases the remaining one with the zero hand.
Netero is not much more fast compared to Godspeed. Maybe faster, but not much more. He is way stronger tho, yes. But that is not a suprise since he is the strongest.
i don't take the Royal guards or even the King seriously because they are "tool" characters or Characters made strong to set up the next (bigger, deeper, more important Chapter). So i do agree on what you said.
Base guanyin does no damage to Mereum in the manga. After thousands of blows he only feels a dull internal ache. The zero hand damage isn't " heavy damage" either, it's a vaguely non threatening amount to Mereum. There is no basis for Netero being strong enough to kill the ants with constant attacks nor zero hand oneshotting them. The ants are all weaker than Mereum obv but you can't prove they're so weak that what Netero did to Mereum means he'd kill them. Anyone can argue for the ants by saying they just survive every attack until Netero is out of aura and they'd be eqaully as justified in thinking this as you are in thinking Netero will just kill them. If not more so to be honest. This is also not how their abilities work.
If he’s in his prime I genuinely believe he can 1v3 them he has a massive speed advantage so much that they literally will not be able to avoid his attacks,His bodhisattva strikes could knock Meruem around so it is obvious that they would do the same to the royal guard,Additionally His zero hand would certainly injure any of the three His zero hand,physical strikes with the bodhisattva and speed will all be doubled in his prime. His prime zero hand would likely massively injure any of the guards,Whilst his bodhisattva arms would ragdoll and completely blitz them A hit from any of the guards would be bad news but in my opinion none of them would get close enough to deliver one nor would they be able to strategise to do so We’ve seen that Pitou is extremely impulsive,And Youpi is just a bit dense that leaves Pouf who would be able to strategise if he was not overwhelmed by the volume and speed of Netero’s attacks Ironically I believe Pouf would be Netero’s biggest issue despite him being the weakest of the guard in my opinion this is purely due to his scales if Netero breathes them in it would be extremely bad for him Other than that Netero would handily take it in my opinion
Why do you think he loses a 1v3? He's so fast he'd have no trouble reacting to different opponents simultaneously, and both Pouf and Youpi are too instinctual and straightforward to make him think very hard. Also, Netero was confident he could beat Meruem in a contest of endurance. This tells me that his 1-99 hands are purely physical attacks meant to batter down opponents without consuming his own aura, meabing he doesnt lose to stall tactics. Worst case scenario, he can clap, making shockwaves to kill Pouf's dispersed cells which would work after enough time. Sure, if they were present during the Meruem fight, he'd get stomped, but even together they can't properly press him.
Bro what are you saying 😂 you gotta be on crack when netero slapped pitou she didn't even cough up blood and now that it's a 1v3 all they gotta dp is overwhelm him and they win netero is not that strong compared to the royal guards
@@zero.0972 You misunderstand how the Boddhisatvha works, as well as how he'd apply it in an actual combat. Here's some bits to chew on: Meruem has a lot more Aura than Netero. Like, a lot more. On seeing his aura, Colt immediately knew that he stood zero chance. So why did Netero choose a battle of attrition? Against someone with a superior Aura pool, shouldn't his strategy have been to use Zero hand as soon as possible, while he still had all his Aura? But no, he kept trying to wear Meruem down even after being seriously injured. Netero isn't stupid, and he was taking that fight 100% seriously, which means something else is going on here. When you think about it, there's only one answer: He doesn't put aura into his strikes directly. He uses Manipulation to move his Conjured statue, but the blows are purely phyiscal. Manipulation takes practically no Aura if any to upkeep, as we see from Illumi being able to create long-lasting minions using just a drop of Aura. Thus, Netero's strategy becomes apparent: Smack his opponent around using a manipulated construct, forcing them to use Aura to protect themselves, but without expending any on his own. The fact that he can compress time beyond the speed of even Meruem means that he can handle even multiple opponents while using this strategy.
To offer some opposition, we’ve already seen an instance between Pitou and the king where he attacked her explicitly stated he was trying to kill her but it just left a scratch on her. And to your point about Netero being wrong about saying Pitou was stronger than him I just have to disagree. Like you said in the video he was talking about raw nen power- which is attributed to strength. Of course I agree though just because a character has more aura or nen doesn’t mean they’ll win the fight, as said in the show. But using your point/framework I could say the panel when Pitou said Gon could be a threat to the king, I could say that Pitou wasn’t analyzing that situation right either. Besides I do believe Gon wasn’t a threat to the king at that point, Pitou was just stating he could potentially be- we also can’t forget Pitou was feeling the full brunt force of his aura and malice. If Pitou had access to her aura that interaction and comment wouldn’t have happened. I think a battle between Netero and any of the royal guards would come down to stamina, Pouf being able to dematerialize and then Pitou’s and Youpi’s very strong bodies. In this case I do think Pitou would win and if not come very close.
@ She’s gotten attack by it before and it didn’t kill her. Sure she wouldn’t be able to dodge it which again is why I said it would come down to stamina, but he wouldn’t be able to kill her. It didn’t even scratch her
I don't understand how people can say in the comments Netero could beat all three together. Even the video say it is out of the question if he could beat all three. Maybe in his prime he would stand a chance but never as old man. The only way he beats all 3 of them is with his nuke after he died. I think every one of them would have been a really hard match for him but he could win. Against two and he is just dead because he dont have infinite Nen and Stamina.
Here is my argument I think there is a very decent argument that netero could 1v3 them. Regardless of whether it's a 1v1 or 1v3 there is no chance any of the royal guard could compete with or even strategize against neteros incomprehensible and logic defying speed. This would make it EXTREMELY difficult to organize a win condition against him. Remember when netero launched a simple attack that Pitou was incapable of avoiding separating him (pitou is a guy) from the castle? I genuinely believe netero could easily perform the same in a 1v3 separating Pitou from the other 2 and finishing off Pouf before Pitou could even get back in the fight. I think the strongest argument however is neteros battle experience the ONLY reason meruem saw through the small behavioral bias in Neteros barrage was due to his incredible intellect and his constant logistical training against Komugi. This is problem solving and strategizing that all 3 of the royal guard lack making neteros barrage of attacks fatal, indestructible and inreactable to them
Bro adult gon would quite literally murder netero Netero has a strong men ability certainly but it literally is a nerf he basically placed on himself which makes sense as netero likes to challenge himself Netero is being incredibly wasteful with his men by using the two worst nen types and while the conditions likely make up for this Gon is also a pure enhancer and on top of this he is speculated to have more potential than netero and made a more powerful men vow. Finally in this fight gon was basically using 100% of his aura for enhancing which would mean that all of his physical stats should be well above netero
Pito suffered injuries vs Kite whose slower than netero, Youpi was stalled by both Killua and Shoot and while killua's godspeed might be relevent to netero's stats, shoot isn't anywhere close, and instead of killing or fighting morel, Pouf decided to use deception, meaning he didn't think he could beat morel easily or quickly. (He was also stalled and damaged by GS Killua) All of the Royal Guards are shown to be far below Merum and Netero. Netero can beat all 3 RG high-mid to high difficulty through his sheer speed and AP. (Saying he didn't hurt merum isn't an argument since nothing did and the royal guards don't scale to him defensively...or in any aspect really.) For reference Merum couldn't outspeed netero and had to rely on taking attacks with his durability to study for patterns in order to land any attack whatsoever, and netero showed no signs of tiring during the fight so stamina isn't at play either. Disagreeing is one thing, but i've seen a lot of people deny the possibility which is just ignorance to how crazy Netero is. The RG are insane in their own right but haven't shown anything against impressive characters outside of pito beating Kite. In conclusion, most evidence points to Netero winning 1v3 but it being mid-high to high difficulty entirely due to numbers, Individually they have nothing that can touch him and they haven't shown any teamwork feats whatsoever. Disagree if you want but don't deny the possibility.
pitou took a huge blast from meruem and it did nothing just blasted her away,he also said shes stronger then him the moment she saw her, he might beat her thanks to the budha ability but he sure as hell aint beating all 3 of them.
Pitou took a casual hit from mereum and was only pushed back a step or so, also as i explained in the video netero cant identify how strong someone is exactly and can only look at pure aura so i would agree she has more, also this is a 1v1 so he isnt fighting all three i believe he would lose in that situation
@@lucylucian2564 it was casual since he didnt even take out the boddhisattva, and it was just a random slap, but i agree it would be hard but not super hard
@@zerocreation5327 no its wasnt a causal hit. Meruem was intending to kill her but she survived with only with some blood. Meruem respected pitou for that.
Netero can't beat any of the RG in a random encounter. Netero needed days of prep time to have his Guanyin technique ready. If Netero could beat Pitou when he first spotted her, Meruem wouldn't have been born. If Netero could beat Pitou, then the three of them (Morel and Knov with Netero) would have been enough to exterminate the ants.
1. I clearly stated your first point in the video 2. He didn’t fight her because he needed to be at full power for meruem and fighting pitou would drain him 3. Knov and morel are not even close to Netero in power so saying those three would be enough is crazy 4. Mereum was being conceived without the knowledge of how powerful the top humans are so stating that if netero could beat her he wouldn’t be born is irrelevant
The only RG that Netero can defeat one-on-one is Pitou and even that may become a tie because of post-mortem Nen. Youpi has the most amount of aura after the King and cannot be injured by normal means. He can outlast Netero and survive Zero hand. Poof can read Netero's intentions and disperse his body into particles to avoid attacks. All of them is overkill.
Pitou is too slow to land a blow on netero. He can also launch pitou in any direction. Obviously into the ground would cause the most damage. This fight would take a few minutes with netero winning. Not even a fair fight netero knows how to fight, the guards are not seasoned fighters.
Meruem is not that far powerful from the Royal Guards.. Meruem might not be as much powerful as the Royal Guards because he was born prematurely.. He intends to kill Pitou, and Pitou only got a scratch.. it was never stated that the king is more powerful than Royal Guards by the Royal Guards, they're just there to protect Meruem and that's all.. Meruem fans come at me haha
Its stated in the guidebooks that he has far surpassed any other being including the royal guard, also mereum intended to kill her but only used a casual amount of strength since we see him use aura and such later on meaning at that point he was much much weaker than when he fought Netero
@@zerocreation5327 Oh my God. Go and review their dialogue! You missed the most important thing. He hit her because she told him how to see the aura! That is, he knew what kind of aura she had and how far her En work
Honestly if not for zero hand I’d be pretty confident that pitou could beat netero. I think it’s fair to say even if pitou is seriously injured, she wouldn’t die from his attacks & wouldn’t tire out. Zero hand probably comes close to killing her or just kills her tho, but if it doesn’t kill her & netero is out of nen he could be fucked
@@zerocreation5327 honestly I wouldn’t even say Mereum was badly injured. He’s roughed up but he didn’t rly take any serious damage. Ita like if a human got a bunch of minor cuts & bruises but nothing permanent. So for pitou maybe it’s serious permanent damage, but she can still keep fighting, in which case netero dies.
@@zerocreation5327 looking at Mereum after the zero hand (at least in the anime), he has small tears on his helmet-thing, tail, and shoulders. Lots of bruises but not a lot of blood. He looks scratched up but not in any actual danger. A human in this kinda condition could skip out on a hospital visit & be fine in the long run.
@@hollowayfan0586 huh?! If someones skin was ripped they would need severe stitching and have to stay in the hospital for a couple of days at least, seems you dont have a clue on how humans heal
Why are you bringing up Mereum be netero feats when he’s very clearly being depicted as not wanting to kill him? As for the idiots that think netero wins a 1v3, please put the crack down
Because its the only time we see Netero use his full power, without me using those feats i would have no argument or video. Also yes, i agree that the people who think he wins a 1v3 are crazy lol
Netero would lose to them even on 1 on 1.. Netero can't kill one of them at his age.. Then goes for the battle of attrition, that Netero would literally lose 1Million percent.. haha
@@AntiSpiral00 no its not a theory, the guidebook was written and produced. The author himself in which it states mereum is the strongest being in the show which includes the royal guards and it says by far with his stats being incalculable while the other are
I'm sorry but there's no chance he can 1v3 them. I can prove it easily Everyone is saying "oh he could just keep slapping them out forever", and like yes that'll work... for one minute. People forget the only Royal Guard that died was Pitou who gave up their life to someone at the level of Netero, but imagine the three of them going seriously at him taking in count the FEATS we see the guards doing. First Pitou handled a slap without suffering damage, one that Netero probably threw at the best strength in hopes of either kill it or send it flying, yet did no damage compared with one of Prime Gon's kicks. To me this means the 100 type Bodhisattva while being of course really strong, isn't enough to considerable damage the guards unless he just targeted one and tried to slap tf out of them crazily. However they would never let him: Pouf would mostly be useless but here's what's important: there's no way he can die, he can just be around Netero separating himself into multiple pieces, create fakes of himself to try and distract him, and then Youpi has more Nen than Netero and more physical raw power so even if he can be slapped around, he can become bigger and grow wings, Pitou can just stand around but again Netero can't kill them either, they can escape if Netero tries to target them and stay in case Youpi needs to be healed but that's basically what would happen, Netero would slowly lose most of his aura after hours and hours of fighting that the guards can endure. And of course the guards would just do that because remember: just Youpi has more IQ than Netero, he's naturally really smart, imagine the three of them combined.
I honestly think he can 1v3 them. The fact he could defend against MERUEM for even a brief amount of time, makes me think none of the Royal Guards will be strong enough to get past his defenses. And he definitely has enough strength to kill any one of them. It would be a hard fight, but still.

In a 1V1 it's debatable since they are physically stronger, faster, and more durable. While Netero is smarter, more skilled, has more experience, and arguably better abilities. In a 3V1 they stomp though.
You did mention that you wouldn't go over if netero had to fight all 3 at once, but it seems as if the power between netero and the royal guards is overwhelming. Why can't netero take on all of the royal guards at once?
Mainly due to stamina issues, the ants have immense amount of nen and dont get tired quickly and could fight for hours if not days at a time, and if netero had to split his focus on 3 people while fighting for hours he would get tired quick and lose
@@zerocreation5327 I don't think he witless need his to defeat them especially since they have about a fraction of the speed of meruem
@@zerocreation5327 if he has countless arms,then isnt that a gg?plus the speed advantage just compounds that.
@@amogus1415 he only has 99 arms
@@zerocreation5327 yeah,33 for each ant,when a holding back netero with 1 hand sent pitou flying for miles.Theyre never getting in range to netero.Even meruem without foresight coudnt preceive it and thought they were infinite combos..Theyre just gonna get juggled and die after a few minutes of being stunlocked.Even if they get 1 or 2 limbs off by sacrifing 2 members to get in range to get a hit off each,cool now he erases the remaining one with the zero hand.
Netero is not much more fast compared to Godspeed. Maybe faster, but not much more. He is way stronger tho, yes. But that is not a suprise since he is the strongest.
You make great points. Netero can easily 1v1 a royal guard. The fight probably would be med diff to med diff plus for netero. Keep making hxh videos.
Thanks, i have a dragon ball video im editing right now but my next video will be a hxh video
i don't take the Royal guards or even the King seriously because they are "tool" characters or Characters made strong to set up the next (bigger, deeper, more important Chapter). So i do agree on what you said.
Base guanyin does no damage to Mereum in the manga. After thousands of blows he only feels a dull internal ache. The zero hand damage isn't " heavy damage" either, it's a vaguely non threatening amount to Mereum.
There is no basis for Netero being strong enough to kill the ants with constant attacks nor zero hand oneshotting them. The ants are all weaker than Mereum obv but you can't prove they're so weak that what Netero did to Mereum means he'd kill them. Anyone can argue for the ants by saying they just survive every attack until Netero is out of aura and they'd be eqaully as justified in thinking this as you are in thinking Netero will just kill them. If not more so to be honest.
This is also not how their abilities work.
If he’s in his prime I genuinely believe he can 1v3 them he has a massive speed advantage so much that they literally will not be able to avoid his attacks,His bodhisattva strikes could knock Meruem around so it is obvious that they would do the same to the royal guard,Additionally His zero hand would certainly injure any of the three
His zero hand,physical strikes with the bodhisattva and speed will all be doubled in his prime.
His prime zero hand would likely massively injure any of the guards,Whilst his bodhisattva arms would ragdoll and completely blitz them
A hit from any of the guards would be bad news but in my opinion none of them would get close enough to deliver one nor would they be able to strategise to do so
We’ve seen that Pitou is extremely impulsive,And Youpi is just a bit dense that leaves Pouf who would be able to strategise if he was not overwhelmed by the volume and speed of Netero’s attacks
Ironically I believe Pouf would be Netero’s biggest issue despite him being the weakest of the guard in my opinion this is purely due to his scales if Netero breathes them in it would be extremely bad for him
Other than that Netero would handily take it in my opinion
Why do you think he loses a 1v3? He's so fast he'd have no trouble reacting to different opponents simultaneously, and both Pouf and Youpi are too instinctual and straightforward to make him think very hard.
Also, Netero was confident he could beat Meruem in a contest of endurance. This tells me that his 1-99 hands are purely physical attacks meant to batter down opponents without consuming his own aura, meabing he doesnt lose to stall tactics. Worst case scenario, he can clap, making shockwaves to kill Pouf's dispersed cells which would work after enough time.
Sure, if they were present during the Meruem fight, he'd get stomped, but even together they can't properly press him.
Bro what are you saying 😂 you gotta be on crack when netero slapped pitou she didn't even cough up blood and now that it's a 1v3 all they gotta dp is overwhelm him and they win netero is not that strong compared to the royal guards
@@zero.0972
You misunderstand how the Boddhisatvha works, as well as how he'd apply it in an actual combat.
Here's some bits to chew on:
Meruem has a lot more Aura than Netero. Like, a lot more. On seeing his aura, Colt immediately knew that he stood zero chance.
So why did Netero choose a battle of attrition? Against someone with a superior Aura pool, shouldn't his strategy have been to use Zero hand as soon as possible, while he still had all his Aura?
But no, he kept trying to wear Meruem down even after being seriously injured.
Netero isn't stupid, and he was taking that fight 100% seriously, which means something else is going on here.
When you think about it, there's only one answer: He doesn't put aura into his strikes directly. He uses Manipulation to move his Conjured statue, but the blows are purely phyiscal.
Manipulation takes practically no Aura if any to upkeep, as we see from Illumi being able to create long-lasting minions using just a drop of Aura.
Thus, Netero's strategy becomes apparent: Smack his opponent around using a manipulated construct, forcing them to use Aura to protect themselves, but without expending any on his own. The fact that he can compress time beyond the speed of even Meruem means that he can handle even multiple opponents while using this strategy.
To offer some opposition, we’ve already seen an instance between Pitou and the king where he attacked her explicitly stated he was trying to kill her but it just left a scratch on her. And to your point about Netero being wrong about saying Pitou was stronger than him I just have to disagree. Like you said in the video he was talking about raw nen power- which is attributed to strength. Of course I agree though just because a character has more aura or nen doesn’t mean they’ll win the fight, as said in the show. But using your point/framework I could say the panel when Pitou said Gon could be a threat to the king, I could say that Pitou wasn’t analyzing that situation right either. Besides I do believe Gon wasn’t a threat to the king at that point, Pitou was just stating he could potentially be- we also can’t forget Pitou was feeling the full brunt force of his aura and malice. If Pitou had access to her aura that interaction and comment wouldn’t have happened.
I think a battle between Netero and any of the royal guards would come down to stamina, Pouf being able to dematerialize and then Pitou’s and Youpi’s very strong bodies. In this case I do think Pitou would win and if not come very close.
she can’t dodge zero hand so she dies to it
@ She’s gotten attack by it before and it didn’t kill her. Sure she wouldn’t be able to dodge it which again is why I said it would come down to stamina, but he wouldn’t be able to kill her. It didn’t even scratch her
@ netero never hit her with zero in the show he hit her with a regular statue attack
I don't understand how people can say in the comments Netero could beat all three together. Even the video say it is out of the question if he could beat all three. Maybe in his prime he would stand a chance but never as old man. The only way he beats all 3 of them is with his nuke after he died. I think every one of them would have been a really hard match for him but he could win. Against two and he is just dead because he dont have infinite Nen and Stamina.
Here is my argument
I think there is a very decent argument that netero could 1v3 them. Regardless of whether it's a 1v1 or 1v3 there is no chance any of the royal guard could compete with or even strategize against neteros incomprehensible and logic defying speed. This would make it EXTREMELY difficult to organize a win condition against him. Remember when netero launched a simple attack that Pitou was incapable of avoiding separating him (pitou is a guy) from the castle? I genuinely believe netero could easily perform the same in a 1v3 separating Pitou from the other 2 and finishing off Pouf before Pitou could even get back in the fight. I think the strongest argument however is neteros battle experience the ONLY reason meruem saw through the small behavioral bias in Neteros barrage was due to his incredible intellect and his constant logistical training against Komugi. This is problem solving and strategizing that all 3 of the royal guard lack making neteros barrage of attacks fatal, indestructible and inreactable to them
Love this video but the way you pronounced some words made me slightly annoyed like
I’m used to people saying “merUem” and “BEelzebub”
Might be cause im southern and like to shorten my enunciation of words?
Well by holding back could mean he couldve landed headshoys or heart shoys
Gon let Pitou take his arm btw.
So Zero Hand is Stronger than multiple Adult Gon Jajankens?
Yes
@@zerocreation5327 No. One kick had already destroyed Pitou's organs and muscles. Zero attack at the level of one or two Jajanken
Bro adult gon would quite literally murder netero
Netero has a strong men ability certainly but it literally is a nerf he basically placed on himself which makes sense as netero likes to challenge himself
Netero is being incredibly wasteful with his men by using the two worst nen types and while the conditions likely make up for this
Gon is also a pure enhancer and on top of this he is speculated to have more potential than netero and made a more powerful men vow. Finally in this fight gon was basically using 100% of his aura for enhancing which would mean that all of his physical stats should be well above netero
Netero kills all of them 1v1 and stands a chance 3v1.
Pito suffered injuries vs Kite whose slower than netero, Youpi was stalled by both Killua and Shoot and while killua's godspeed might be relevent to netero's stats, shoot isn't anywhere close, and instead of killing or fighting morel, Pouf decided to use deception, meaning he didn't think he could beat morel easily or quickly. (He was also stalled and damaged by GS Killua) All of the Royal Guards are shown to be far below Merum and Netero.
Netero can beat all 3 RG high-mid to high difficulty through his sheer speed and AP. (Saying he didn't hurt merum isn't an argument since nothing did and the royal guards don't scale to him defensively...or in any aspect really.)
For reference Merum couldn't outspeed netero and had to rely on taking attacks with his durability to study for patterns in order to land any attack whatsoever, and netero showed no signs of tiring during the fight so stamina isn't at play either.
Disagreeing is one thing, but i've seen a lot of people deny the possibility which is just ignorance to how crazy Netero is. The RG are insane in their own right but haven't shown anything against impressive characters outside of pito beating Kite.
In conclusion, most evidence points to Netero winning 1v3 but it being mid-high to high difficulty entirely due to numbers, Individually they have nothing that can touch him and they haven't shown any teamwork feats whatsoever. Disagree if you want but don't deny the possibility.
pitou took a huge blast from meruem and it did nothing just blasted her away,he also said shes stronger then him the moment she saw her, he might beat her thanks to the budha ability but he sure as hell aint beating all 3 of them.
Pitou took a casual hit from mereum and was only pushed back a step or so, also as i explained in the video netero cant identify how strong someone is exactly and can only look at pure aura so i would agree she has more, also this is a 1v1 so he isnt fighting all three i believe he would lose in that situation
@@zerocreation5327 nothing casual about the blast netero delivered to her,but i agree he can beat her alone but it still wont be easy.
@@lucylucian2564 it was casual since he didnt even take out the boddhisattva, and it was just a random slap, but i agree it would be hard but not super hard
@@zerocreation5327 netero only advantage is hes budha attack if he didnt have that he coundnt take any of the guards on.
@@zerocreation5327 no its wasnt a causal hit. Meruem was intending to kill her but she survived with only with some blood. Meruem respected pitou for that.
Netero can't beat any of the RG in a random encounter. Netero needed days of prep time to have his Guanyin technique ready. If Netero could beat Pitou when he first spotted her, Meruem wouldn't have been born. If Netero could beat Pitou, then the three of them (Morel and Knov with Netero) would have been enough to exterminate the ants.
1. I clearly stated your first point in the video
2. He didn’t fight her because he needed to be at full power for meruem and fighting pitou would drain him
3. Knov and morel are not even close to Netero in power so saying those three would be enough is crazy
4. Mereum was being conceived without the knowledge of how powerful the top humans are so stating that if netero could beat her he wouldn’t be born is irrelevant
The 3 royal guards vs meruem is a better fight imo
The royal guards would die instantly
@@alvinip9128 not really no the royal guards are above netero in raw power
The only RG that Netero can defeat one-on-one is Pitou and even that may become a tie because of post-mortem Nen. Youpi has the most amount of aura after the King and cannot be injured by normal means. He can outlast Netero and survive Zero hand. Poof can read Netero's intentions and disperse his body into particles to avoid attacks.
All of them is overkill.
Pitou is too slow to land a blow on netero. He can also launch pitou in any direction. Obviously into the ground would cause the most damage. This fight would take a few minutes with netero winning. Not even a fair fight netero knows how to fight, the guards are not seasoned fighters.
If one on one netero win but 3vs1 royal guard will win
Netero can hold them but he cant kill the guards.. not youpi nor pouf
RG are too OP netero will gas out before he can kill even one.
Meruem is not that far powerful from the Royal Guards.. Meruem might not be as much powerful as the Royal Guards because he was born prematurely.. He intends to kill Pitou, and Pitou only got a scratch.. it was never stated that the king is more powerful than Royal Guards by the Royal Guards, they're just there to protect Meruem and that's all..
Meruem fans come at me haha
Its stated in the guidebooks that he has far surpassed any other being including the royal guard, also mereum intended to kill her but only used a casual amount of strength since we see him use aura and such later on meaning at that point he was much much weaker than when he fought Netero
@@zerocreation5327 Oh my God. Go and review their dialogue! You missed the most important thing. He hit her because she told him how to see the aura! That is, he knew what kind of aura she had and how far her En work
What a troll 😂
Netter would destroy all three at once. He can literally slap them like toys lol
Your underestimating them heavily
You crazy
Also if they don't know about the bomb then 😉
It was stated by colt. That netero aura is no match for the royal guards let alone the king. Netero could lose or win with very high difficulty.
@@timeread3099 aura doesnt determine a fight, it is only a part of it, in the video i showed a scan of morel stating this fact and explaining why
Honestly if not for zero hand I’d be pretty confident that pitou could beat netero. I think it’s fair to say even if pitou is seriously injured, she wouldn’t die from his attacks & wouldn’t tire out. Zero hand probably comes close to killing her or just kills her tho, but if it doesn’t kill her & netero is out of nen he could be fucked
I feel since zero hand badly injured mereum that it will definitely kill pitou, but without it i still feel like he would win but it would be hard
@@zerocreation5327 honestly I wouldn’t even say Mereum was badly injured. He’s roughed up but he didn’t rly take any serious damage. Ita like if a human got a bunch of minor cuts & bruises but nothing permanent.
So for pitou maybe it’s serious permanent damage, but she can still keep fighting, in which case netero dies.
@@hollowayfan0586 he has tears all over his body and was bleeding, i wouldnt call that a few bruises
@@zerocreation5327 looking at Mereum after the zero hand (at least in the anime), he has small tears on his helmet-thing, tail, and shoulders. Lots of bruises but not a lot of blood. He looks scratched up but not in any actual danger. A human in this kinda condition could skip out on a hospital visit & be fine in the long run.
@@hollowayfan0586 huh?! If someones skin was ripped they would need severe stitching and have to stay in the hospital for a couple of days at least, seems you dont have a clue on how humans heal
Why are you bringing up Mereum be netero feats when he’s very clearly being depicted as not wanting to kill him? As for the idiots that think netero wins a 1v3, please put the crack down
Because its the only time we see Netero use his full power, without me using those feats i would have no argument or video. Also yes, i agree that the people who think he wins a 1v3 are crazy lol
Netero would lose to them even on 1 on 1.. Netero can't kill one of them at his age.. Then goes for the battle of attrition, that Netero would literally lose 1Million percent.. haha
So your only counter is age? It doesnt disprove any of my other points and isnt really a factor at all
@@zerocreation5327 still a theory and not stated by the author himself
@@AntiSpiral00 no its not a theory, the guidebook was written and produced. The author himself in which it states mereum is the strongest being in the show which includes the royal guards and it says by far with his stats being incalculable while the other are
netero would take this negative difficulty
I'm sorry but there's no chance he can 1v3 them. I can prove it easily
Everyone is saying "oh he could just keep slapping them out forever", and like yes that'll work... for one minute. People forget the only Royal Guard that died was Pitou who gave up their life to someone at the level of Netero, but imagine the three of them going seriously at him taking in count the FEATS we see the guards doing. First Pitou handled a slap without suffering damage, one that Netero probably threw at the best strength in hopes of either kill it or send it flying, yet did no damage compared with one of Prime Gon's kicks.
To me this means the 100 type Bodhisattva while being of course really strong, isn't enough to considerable damage the guards unless he just targeted one and tried to slap tf out of them crazily. However they would never let him: Pouf would mostly be useless but here's what's important: there's no way he can die, he can just be around Netero separating himself into multiple pieces, create fakes of himself to try and distract him, and then Youpi has more Nen than Netero and more physical raw power so even if he can be slapped around, he can become bigger and grow wings, Pitou can just stand around but again Netero can't kill them either, they can escape if Netero tries to target them and stay in case Youpi needs to be healed but that's basically what would happen, Netero would slowly lose most of his aura after hours and hours of fighting that the guards can endure.
And of course the guards would just do that because remember: just Youpi has more IQ than Netero, he's naturally really smart, imagine the three of them combined.
Netero beats Royal guards. HXH beats BATTLE 😎
Netero could definitely beat all 3
Lol people still think Pitou is a girl
Pitou is genderless, pitou is referred to as a he and she
Pitou is a guy
Its ambiguous, in the manga Pitou is a guy, in the anime Pitou is a girl. Its preference tbh but Pitou is most likely an It
Trash take really just a very trash take
are you going to refute any points or just hate for no reason?
All royal guards will end netero in a heartbeat
Are you gonna refute any of my points or just hate for no reason?
@@zerocreation5327 yea but at the same time when netero hit pituo he did not damage to her at all he just pushed her back
