man, the algorithm is pretty crazy, I'm from Brazil and I came across your video out of nowhere, anyway, I liked the arc's mvp format, I've never seen anything like that here, in fact, not a video focused on that. Nice
Knov does not deserve LVP, he did the groundwork for the entire raid. If he hadn't undertaken the most dangerous job of the entire mission all of the other hunters wouldn't have stood a chance, they'd have been picked off before they could enter the palace.
The real mvp was Komugi: - Kept Meruem occupied until the assault - Humbled him on multiple occasions and made him more human, to the point that he was willing to negotiate with Netero - During the assault managed to separate 2/3 of the royal guards from Meruem - Never did anything morally dubious
Knov only broke down because he couldn’t coat himself in protective aura, if he did he would’ve been caught, not only that he still completed his mission in making entry points. He was sent on a suicide mission and lived not to mention he’s recovering (slowly)
Knov's stealth mission is massively underrated. This dude had to sneak through the castle on its own with nothing but his own set of skills. He also faced Pouf's En WHILE IN ZETSU. Gon and Killua nearly lost it when they faced Hisoka's nen back in the colosseum arc, and they at least had the natural aura every human has. Knov was really an absolute bad ass to stay in zetsu and end the mission sucessfully even though everything mentioned.
Underrating Knov quite a bit here imo. Netero, Zeno, Knov, and Morel were the cornerstones of this plan working. In the end Zeno wasn't really needed though, due to Komugi. Knov did drop the ball late in the game but he'd already done a huge amount, I'd put him above Shoot and Knuckle. Gotta agree that Morel really went above expectations and was the MVP, but do keep in mind that Netero, indirectly, did the most damage to Youpi and Pouf.
Everybody contributed to the mission greatly: 1. Knov was the cornerstone of the Hunter team in transportation and infiltration - he was the scout, the advance unit, the reconnaissance; it's completely understandable why he pissed his pants in Pouf's presence - what he went through was the equivalent of walking butt-naked through an extremely harsh blizzard at night 2. Morel had to deal with Pouf on his own because of Know backing out; his Deep Purple also proved to arguably be the most important and versatile ability in the Hunter team, allowing him to both keep the enemy trapped in one location - while also protecting civilians from harm at the same time (plus, there's the fact that he assisted heavily in taking out the "fodder" Officer Ants, even though they're all actually extremely formidable opponents) 3. Shoot kept Youpi busy for several minutes, buying time for everybody else to scatter and go on their ways to complete their missions - this is really his one big accomplishment in the arc, but this one accomplishment alone is up there with Netero 1v1-ing Meruem in terms of impressiveness 4. Knuckle had to keep Youpi busy by himself as well, after Shoot collapsed from cumulative damage and exhaustion from his 1v1 with Youpi - this is also extremely impressive 5. Gon not only kept Pitou busy by himself - who is argued to be the strongest of the Three Royal Guards - but he also killed her by himself (albeit, at the cost of his life); as far as the original mission goes, Gon is probably the only one who didn't deviate from his task at all and went above and beyond to complete it 6. Killua left Gon alone with Pitou at Gon's own request, so it's not like Killua abandoned his mission out of laziness or cowardice - he did it out of consideration for Gon; still, the fact that he went around saving his other teammates and helping them out of dangerous situations is plenty to applaud him 7. And, of course, Netero had the biggest role in the mission - killing the King at all costs, all by himself The turned Chimera Ants also did their parts very well All in all - it's tough to argue who contributed the most in this mission; everybody broke their limits to overcome otherwise insurmountable obstacles I'd disagree with you on your take of Morel being the overall MVP - but I can agree that his ability was the most versatile and useful in the mission
Unpopular opinion, but Chimera ant arc's MVP is Knov. Without Knov's portals they won't be able to get inside the Palace. Knov also saves Shoot who is heavily injured. If only Knov didn't have a mental breakdown, he can probably take out Youpi with the help of Meleoron's ability.
He was activly reducing his aura not to be detected. The nen the quimera ants and specialy the Royal guards had hit him while he was basicly defenceless
I don't know about the Knov stuff you laid down. He, on the other hand, laid down he foundation for the entire palace invasion, achieving that through infiltration that he did completely on his own inside enemy territory. Just the idea that Pitou could have activated En and captured him makes what he did all the more commendable. Plus, he took care of Shoot and Morel after their injuries and subsequent retreat for medical intervention. Otherwise, great video! Morel is so cool
I felt bad placing him last, the reasoning for it was he's the only person who didn't see any combat against the RG. If he did, honestly he'd be top 3!
@@brunopc101 If you think about it, any of the royal guards could simply detonate bomb mid-air feeling it come from miles away, set it off to somewhere else (Which would cause irreversible damage) and even if they didnt its not guaranteed that the radiation would enter their body enough to slowly kill them from radiation.

@@brunopc101 Again, there were millions and hundreds of humans going to the capital where meruem was together with hostages. Netero had no other choice tbh, although any hunter could have done the same, they really didnt expect meruem to be so strong they just had a theory Chimera ants were from the dark continent
@@YouBetIStareyou underestimate how little Netero actually cared about the wellbeing of humanity and how much he just wanted a really good tussle. Or how the world of HxH could honestly have written off NGL and blown it up. Wether it known the amount of people who were cattle were sincerely not a factor in any of this had they known how much of a threat Meruem was.
I needed to see this video, Morel is honestly my favourite character in HxH, great design and ability, has some of my favourite fights, unique personality and he did SO much in this arc, being basically the leader of the team. Even Pouf had to lose time in order to take out Morels pipe.
just goes to show how good a hunter Isaac Netero was, he assembled a team of just six hunters and they pretty much made something out of nothing to thwart the invasion of a B level dark continent threat and he's the only one that died, lot of playmakers, lot of dawgs on that squad.
knov was literally the best support you can ask for in that arc, without knov they wouldnt be able to rest, train, strategise oh and yes.. INVADE THE PALACE??? he was literally going in solo too, no wonder why he was terrified shitless he was literally INSIDE the dragon's lair.
I wouldn't call Knov LVP. He is more like recon, vice-captain, perimeter defense and assist. He is not any star player in the game, but no matter how traumatized he was during the main fight, the plan wouldn't turn-out that way without him. Gon gave one of the most amazing slam dunk in the game but Killua would be my Rookie of the Year. In terms of overall points, rebounds, assists, defense, steals, 3 pointers, and free throws, he is just as amazing as how you put Morel to be, but for a rookie level
on the contrary, as said in the video gon did his fair share, along with taking pitou out of the fight permanently, and pitou’s influence could have been significant if left unchecked
I think when u can delay and keep a royal guard out of commission then leave with them somewhere secluded and kill them it’s different, nobody else would’ve been able to kill pitou, it would’ve been a terrible loss if pitou came back early
Never before have I realized I've always been waiting for a video until it appear right before me. As if a long craving has been satiated. We are all playing morel in nen impact
I was just thinking about Morel...his ability is so useful for facing alotvof opponents. Perfect for the situation they were in without risking others lives. I hope we see him again
Morel worked for two and despite the hate they could not have done shit without Knov teleportation abilities. Once they got done with their tasks Knov saved them all. He ended up being useful despite no longer being able to fight which is commandable.
@@Diosuperior he was ready to die at the hands of Youpi, I was discussing with my wife that Morel has the most battles in Chimera Ant Arc and should be the MVP and I found your video. Zhank you Dio-sama
To be honest, Netero could just appear in the king's presence alone walking through the front door and demand a duel, the king would obviously accept under the condition that netero tell him his name, meruem would make sure no one interefere and then he would end up killing meruem and the roryal guard anyway using the miniature rose. no one needed to be involved
The only problem I see with what you stated is that Netero never intended to use the fact that he knew Muruem's name until during their fight. He held the kings name hostage so that the King would have no choice but to fight him for the name.
@@Diosuperior sorry I didn't quite get it, are you saying that if it was not by their team finging out the name of the king this could not happen? I agree. that was the most valuable information they had to be honest
@honkler1443 yeah, what I meant was Muruem at first had NO desire at all to fight Netero. It wasn’t until Netero later reveals that he knows The kings name that Muruem agrees to start fighting him back. So if Netero is in character you’re scenario, he wouldn’t be able to get past the Royal Guards based off just his fighting merit. And even if he uses the fact that he knows the kings name, they wouldn’t let his past anyways!
Netero isn't the strongest hunter, it's pretty explicit he said he's not even sure if he's in the top 5 anymore. potentially he's being somewhat humble but as we know strength isn't everythiung in a nen battle as Morel says when they first introduce him.
Hide and seek is so fucking op, You could get out of any situation ever with that, Just stock a room in there with water, a bed, food and you could escape any situation
And 'scream' is a instant kill, since it teleports an part of your body instantly. Even meruem could be in serious danger since his portal is not limited to another nen users, but only his conditions. too bad he's frail and noticed how much his potential needed to be unlocked
@6.17 - completely wrong on this. The point of the line about Isaac Netero's being "like a child throwing a temper tantrum" has literally nothing to do with the nuclear bomb trick at the end - its entirely focused on illustrating the monumental difference between their power levels. The quote that best illustrates the importance of the bomb is when Meruem refers to himself as "the instinctive hope...the resulting boon of the total support of his species", essentially referring to himself as the gathered hope, power, and ambition of his entire species. To which Netero replies "don't underestimate the human race...our infinite potential". Ultimately, Meruem represented the greatest hope and power of his species endless focus towards evolution, while Netero represented humanities ultimate focus on malevolence and destruction. Even though Meruem 'won' against Netoro, he lost against humanities limitless will to destroy all that oppose them.
yeah me thinks so too, while Netero first stage was literally an representation of Humanity best positive things - Gratefulness and Love, after using all of his love (Which i believe led him to a soon-dead state) he just had all the negative things the humanity had infinite potential for - Death and destruction. If love couldnt scratch him slightly then the only thing that could would be the total opposite, the end of culture and knowledge, the worst thing human ever created that the whole world agreed was too much. An whole nuclear bomb. and i say culture and knowledge because Netero powers are filled with culture and knowledge humanity gathered and created together, Buddha, goddess, fashion and etc... truly an beautiful power
I've been saying this for years. It's good to know soeone else shares my opinion. Morel is hands down my favorite character in HxH as well. He's just a chill guy who gets shit done.
I get that morel was really useful and he deserves the 2nd place. But not putting Netero in first place? Nah. NONE of the team managed to kill any of the bodyguards and especially not the king. I understand that he couldn't have done it alone but still it was Netero who caused all 4 top ants to be put down for good.
Gon did kill a royal guard, and also was technically the only one who killed an chimera ant of this level as the other royal guards and meruem died of the bomb’s poison and not rlly netero, as netero just got no diffed by meruem
whole tuing only turned out the way it did because if neteros purposeful neglect so that he could have some fun and have a last hurrah , chimera ants could have been delt with much swifter and with less damage
Don’t disagree with your ranking, but you definitely downplay the lower placements lol. Only able to distract the royal guard for a few minutes, but those minutes were all they needed, and those guards had orders of magnitude more aura then Shoot and Knuckle. Huge W
Palm Siberia and Knov are the two characters made me concerned about their fate in this arc. The breakdown of the two especially Knov hit me after the Kite tragedy.
But without Knov they wouldn't have been able to invade the palace to begin with. Sure Shoot and Knuckle stalled a bit but if not for Knov nothing would have happened
It’s also such a cop out to only take the siege section of the arc and apply it to everyone’s accomplishments and then use Morel’s previous actions prior to the siege as a justification for MVP. Not saying you’re wrong, but you’re not judging the characters to the same standard whatsoever otherwise knov would not have been the least valuable.
I agree that Morel is verry valuable member of extermination team but lets be honest the real MVP of this arc was Netero he not only kills Meruem but allso kills 2 ROYAL GUARDS with poison from the bomb
You don't understand the power system. His hatsu is busted because of his weak nature, he hides away from the problems that's why his nen ability is hiding based.
Knov might have been able to trap the king but then he could never use his ability again for risk of releasing him. And he would have to trick the king into entering. But I feel like that ending wouldn’t hit the same
I think Killua was the MVP. He literally helped everyone except Netero and Morel. Saved Knuckles and others, killed dozens of ants, and even recruited 2 ants to their side. He even saved Morel from Gon lol. He was the Queen of the chessboard
@@pboisron Wrong, each had their own mission. Killua played support for all other missions. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.
@detectivemarkseven use your own statement. Each person had their own mission. Their mission were to occupy the ants so that Netero could fight the king 1v1. It would've been terrible to fight the king and his guards. It's like chess. You may occupy queens, bishops, rooks, knights, and pawns, but the goal was to get the king. Therefore, everyone else played support for Netero. If you don't understand that, then you didn't really watch the arc
I remember morel was recommended for a promotion, but he was the only one I believe. I get there are requirements for a promotion but, yeah, these guys deserved to be the exceptions. They did absolute work against the chimera ants.
@@Wolfaydragoon Yeah, every single member deserves it. I just remember somewhere in the manga where one of the Zodiacs say Morel is like 75% of they're power lvl.
To those that say it's knov don't realize that he was the mvp BEFORE the arcs true beginning but after the entry Morel did everything he could to deal with the situation with creativity and tricks rather than being direct like Killiua or Gon or even Shoot
0:39 I guess I wouldn’t straight call him MVP, but man, even if everything went exactly the same, how were they going to win without netero? Literally, the only way I could think is, getting gon to fight as an adult, or just hoping that he kind of gave up and died like he did (but that was only because he had cancer….. from netero) sooooooo…..
you got yourself a new subscriber, amazing video and quality, i didn't even notice you had 800 subs until you mentioned that your at 100, honestly thought you had way more, hope your channel does well !
While I don't agree overall with your take as Morel being the MVP (personally believing Netero deserves it due to actually (indirectly) killing Meruem with the poison). This was a great video in terms of the writing and editing, if you didn't mention the 100 sub appreciation I would have genuinely thought you would have had a couple million subscribers. I'm looking forward to seeing more excellent analyses from you. Keep up the great work!!!!!!
Morel is MVP of the arc due to holding the whole operation together, not because he killed the villain or whatever. You're summing it up based on raw results, ignoring what happened along the way and how we got there. That's like skipping a sports match and judging it based on the end result.
I'm just here waiting for they to bring back Morel in the dark continent arc (someone in the hxh association, maybe cow, mentioned they contacted morel and know, but knov only agreed to go to the"fake dark continent"
Dude, there's no Knov, there's no invasion, period. The reason why he crumbled from their sinister aura is because he went in solo with no En to protect himself from their aura. They explain all that.
he got coward bcuz he never faced such a bizarre aura, its like seeing a gun irl for the first time when you're a child. much probable he will reappear more prepared (Hopefully). Even kaito was 'anxious' due to a newborn Pitou aura. Gon and knuckles just are that brave Shoot and killua are trained assassins, even if they're scared they want to protect their teammates
It’s Komugi, without her Meruem one shots Netero in the palace, all the civilians die, and he lives long enough and powerful enough to kill the majority of humanity
@@IvanIvanovich-qh9xt I’m saying rose explodes in the palace (gon, Killua, Zeno and everyone on the elimination team, and the citizens nearby die in the blast), and the poison still took time after detonation to kill meruem, with how powerful he was a meruem who wanted to take revenge and destroy as much as possible had enough time while he was dying to kill millions. This is also assuming Pitou can’t somehow heal the king since they wouldn’t be killed by gon and that the royal guards couldn’t protect the king in any way
@@fragiletrash3989 but the bomb would go off in the palace, killing the entire extermination team (including gon and killua), all of the civilians, and meruem still survives the bomb and lives long enough to destroy half the continent-and since gon doesn’t kill pitou their healing could play a factor
Morel was also the guy not needed to get healed up or Retreat hastely. Which should he was more or less confident what he can do and only be as aggressive as needed.
I agree with your ranking, but I would just swipe netero and morau. Yes morau is underrated, but netero killed the king AND two royal guards by himself. Like, the king. The only king. He can’t be less than 1st.
6:27 The king died to poison not radiation. It doesn’t make sense, but that’s what they said in the anime. Let me know if there is different dubbing you guys saw. Radiation poison? That’s just radiation. They said explicitly poison, no?
@kazedasugoi because it's kinda ambiguous in the show. And it makes sense for it to be a nuclear bomb thematically. But it is supposed to be some poison that can easily infect others from person to person
It is a nuclear bomb, it set a limit to the anime and to foil with real life disasters involving nuclear bombs. The whole fight is foreshadowed by netero himself, saying they were somewhere were bombs were constantly tested. The poison is radiation since meruem was born with perfect genetics only the deformation of genetics itself would have killed him, if not the bomb itself. (Just compare how it is in a "secluded" island where no recordings there are allowed, A bomb was dropped and there is a mafia going on with the pretense of being a safe place to live. It is a foil to somewhere irl, i just cant name it.)
@@Tomiwa101 Probably she would also feel Pitou aura and warn both of them, Kaito didnt want to warn them cuz he knew they both would go on to fight too... but a 4v1 would be a ez gg if you remember that Pitou was just a newborn without any specific skill
I think you underrate Killua and Netero, and overrate Morel: Netero for obvious reasons, he sacrificed the most and accomplished the overall goal of killing the king and the most royal guards. Killua didn't achieve his initial goal, but when the situation changed he was flexible and accomplished far more. He converted Palm and Ikalgo, and in some form saved Gon, Knuckle, and Komugi (which may have kept the king from killing everyone while he was still alive) and he also caused his fair share of chaos in the selection process, saving citizens and killing ants (in fact he was first to). Morel was a great leader, and maybe underrated, but overall he only managed to stall Youpi and Pouf for a few minutes along with a few other things you mentioned.
@@potofseed I don't see myself that way at all lol, but sometimes it really is that simple. I rate Killua higher than others and he barely killed anyone (who were super powerful in that arc), just was the best support player being exactly where he's needed
Morel also has an existential crisis due to the guards making him question his whole philosophy on nen combat and despite that he never wavers like Knov did.
Cuz the Royal guards and King are too strong in their base levels not even counting Hatsus, one must use alternative tactics to beat them instead of the normal shonen solution of “power up and hit rly hard”
@@aceclover758 More accurately Morel could overcome Cheetu and Leo through outsmarting them, But no matter how good his plan was he could only hope to distract a royal guard.
Knov wavers cause he experiences Royal guard ren without any ten protection. Similar to the hostility killua and gon feel from Hisokas ren in heavens arena before they learned about nen.
@@brandon.d I guess what Know experienced must have been that hostility Gon and Killua felt but exponentially stronger, like being on the top of a mountain naked for the same time he was exposed. You would never be the same (if you even survive). He could have easily be killed by the En alone if he wasn't such an experienced hunter, I believe. Maybe I'm stretching.
i have a good video idea for you, there is a lot of similarities i found between jjk and hxh abilities, you can make a video about that. (for example sukuna's fire arrow hand signs and pokkle's hand signs look very much alike, cheeto's domain expansion like ability...)

Knov does not deserve LVP, he did the groundwork for the entire raid. If he hadn't undertaken the most dangerous job of the entire mission all of the other hunters wouldn't have stood a chance, they'd have been picked off before they could enter the palace.
I think I remember the narrator saying how his effort was mostly in vain because the majority of the ants were somewhere else
The real mvp was Komugi:
- Kept Meruem occupied until the assault
- Humbled him on multiple occasions and made him more human, to the point that he was willing to negotiate with Netero
- During the assault managed to separate 2/3 of the royal guards from Meruem
- Never did anything morally dubious
Excellent points.
Knov only broke down because he couldn’t coat himself in protective aura, if he did he would’ve been caught, not only that he still completed his mission in making entry points. He was sent on a suicide mission and lived not to mention he’s recovering (slowly)
Yeah, Knov def had a tough task in creating those entry and exit ways for the team. Royal guard aura is no joke!
Without Knov the entire plan would have collapsed. He may not have helped in the fight but he was an essential player.
Knov's stealth mission is massively underrated. This dude had to sneak through the castle on its own with nothing but his own set of skills. He also faced Pouf's En WHILE IN ZETSU. Gon and Killua nearly lost it when they faced Hisoka's nen back in the colosseum arc, and they at least had the natural aura every human has.

No Knov means no invasion

knov was literally the best support you can ask for in that arc, without knov they wouldnt be able to rest, train, strategise oh and yes.. INVADE THE PALACE???
he was literally going in solo too, no wonder why he was terrified shitless he was literally INSIDE the dragon's lair.
not just solo, he went inside solo with no En to shield himself from their aura so they don't detect him. It's fucking insane.
I wouldn't call Knov LVP. He is more like recon, vice-captain, perimeter defense and assist. He is not any star player in the game, but no matter how traumatized he was during the main fight, the plan wouldn't turn-out that way without him.
Gon gave one of the most amazing slam dunk in the game but Killua would be my Rookie of the Year. In terms of overall points, rebounds, assists, defense, steals, 3 pointers, and free throws, he is just as amazing as how you put Morel to be, but for a rookie level
I just recently re watch hxh and was shocked at how much I under-appreciated Morel, he's a legend.
Morel glazing? Now this is a channel I gotta sub to
LFG!!!!
Morel better be promoted to double star after his performance in that arc
I think the MVP is Netero since he killed the King and two royal guards.
The rose bomb did that
And Komugi. Someone so powerful that not even Zeno's Dragon Dive could kill.
@@JamKyt9which he sacrificed himself to detonate. If rose bomb kills don’t count (which they definitely do) Netero would’ve done nothing
@@JamKyt9going off that logic, morel didnt conjure soldiers.. his pipe did.
@@JamKyt9wow what copium
W music selection for the outro!
Just like in the show!
Damn right 😏
Killua definitely should be ranked higher than Gon. Those side quests were necessary
on the contrary, as said in the video gon did his fair share, along with taking pitou out of the fight permanently, and pitou’s influence could have been significant if left unchecked
@@spinethief_ didn’t say he didn’t do his fair share. Everyone Killua helped would have failed without him.
I think when u can delay and keep a royal guard out of commission then leave with them somewhere secluded and kill them it’s different, nobody else would’ve been able to kill pitou, it would’ve been a terrible loss if pitou came back early
This is one of those uncovered topics I didn't know I wanted to hear about good stuff bro
Appreciate the love as always!
The thing i love the most about morel is that he shows with this arc that information and strategy is the key in nen battles
Never before have I realized I've always been waiting for a video until it appear right before me. As if a long craving has been satiated. We are all playing morel in nen impact
I was just thinking about Morel...his ability is so useful for facing alotvof opponents. Perfect for the situation they were in without risking others lives. I hope we see him again
Bro he’s soo underrated! I’m with you!
Morel worked for two and despite the hate they could not have done shit without Knov teleportation abilities. Once they got done with their tasks Knov saved them all. He ended up being useful despite no longer being able to fight which is commandable.
I really agree, Morel has the most battles in Chimera Ant arc and his clones done a lot
And he was heavily fatigued!
@@Diosuperior he was ready to die at the hands of Youpi, I was discussing with my wife that Morel has the most battles in Chimera Ant Arc and should be the MVP and I found your video. Zhank you Dio-sama
The nuclear scientists who made the bomb getting the W.
yes haha
My only discrepancy is that I think Knov was more essential to the mission than Shoot.
Fire vid and FIRE statement, keep it up
Thanks a lot, means a ton!
Finally some Morel acknowledgment
You’re goddam right!
Have to give Knov Some leeway as he was in zetsu completely suppress their aura flow and taking Ren from that could kill most hunters in ten.
To be honest, Netero could just appear in the king's presence alone walking through the front door and demand a duel, the king would obviously accept under the condition that netero tell him his name, meruem would make sure no one interefere and then he would end up killing meruem and the roryal guard anyway using the miniature rose.
no one needed to be involved
The only problem I see with what you stated is that Netero never intended to use the fact that he knew Muruem's name until during their fight. He held the kings name hostage so that the King would have no choice but to fight him for the name.
@@Diosuperior sorry I didn't quite get it, are you saying that if it was not by their team finging out the name of the king this could not happen? I agree. that was the most valuable information they had to be honest
@honkler1443 yeah, what I meant was Muruem at first had NO desire at all to fight Netero. It wasn’t until Netero later reveals that he knows The kings name that Muruem agrees to start fighting him back. So if Netero is in character you’re scenario, he wouldn’t be able to get past the Royal Guards based off just his fighting merit. And even if he uses the fact that he knows the kings name, they wouldn’t let his past anyways!
Morel is like Iguodala, not the best but a role player whose role was a deciding factor
The real MVP are the friends we made along the way. 🌞
Morel beat two squadron leaders. He was holding the fort after knovs breakdown. And was at 40% during the palace invasian.
honorable mention meleoron
Revenge for Peggy
Netero isn't the strongest hunter, it's pretty explicit he said he's not even sure if he's in the top 5 anymore.
potentially he's being somewhat humble but as we know strength isn't everythiung in a nen battle as Morel says when they first introduce him.
Knov was in zetsu when he came in contact with youpi’s aura. It’s malice was enough to break him mentally.
not youpis, it was poufs aura
@@zoso2640 sounds right, I haven’t rewatched it in a while.
7:18 crazy 🤣
😆
Hide and seek is so fucking op, You could get out of any situation ever with that, Just stock a room in there with water, a bed, food and you could escape any situation
And 'scream' is a instant kill, since it teleports an part of your body instantly. Even meruem could be in serious danger since his portal is not limited to another nen users, but only his conditions.
too bad he's frail and noticed how much his potential needed to be unlocked
This is quality stuff, man keep it up. You just gain us subscriber.
Dope video. Well narrated and edited. Keep it up homie
Morel got the most gas nen ability out there too. Straight smoking that pacc
Morel is one of the most versatile hunters for any sort of missions.
He is no slouch in combat but that guy really shines on a support role
Let me know if you agree or disagree with the overall gauge for the vid! Do you think Morel is the MVP? If not, who?
Solid vid bro as always, completely forgot that Morel did all that for the team!
@@stormhero44 I'd actually switch Killua with Knuckle. I feel Knuckle did just as much if not more
Shoot supremacy
Disagree, will not say why!
@@innercityexcellence LMFAO UNDERSTOOD
@6.17 - completely wrong on this. The point of the line about Isaac Netero's being "like a child throwing a temper tantrum" has literally nothing to do with the nuclear bomb trick at the end - its entirely focused on illustrating the monumental difference between their power levels. The quote that best illustrates the importance of the bomb is when Meruem refers to himself as "the instinctive hope...the resulting boon of the total support of his species", essentially referring to himself as the gathered hope, power, and ambition of his entire species. To which Netero replies "don't underestimate the human race...our infinite potential".
Ultimately, Meruem represented the greatest hope and power of his species endless focus towards evolution, while Netero represented humanities ultimate focus on malevolence and destruction. Even though Meruem 'won' against Netoro, he lost against humanities limitless will to destroy all that oppose them.
yeah me thinks so too, while Netero first stage was literally an representation of Humanity best positive things - Gratefulness and Love, after using all of his love (Which i believe led him to a soon-dead state) he just had all the negative things the humanity had infinite potential for - Death and destruction. If love couldnt scratch him slightly then the only thing that could would be the total opposite, the end of culture and knowledge, the worst thing human ever created that the whole world agreed was too much. An whole nuclear bomb.
and i say culture and knowledge because Netero powers are filled with culture and knowledge humanity gathered and created together, Buddha, goddess, fashion and etc... truly an beautiful power
Shoot with his personality shift was awesome. He took on a hopeless battle with a joy he never before known.
I've been saying this for years. It's good to know soeone else shares my opinion. Morel is hands down my favorite character in HxH as well. He's just a chill guy who gets shit done.
Yo when you said thanks for 100 subs I was like damn u deserve more the production of this vid is crazy
I get that morel was really useful and he deserves the 2nd place. But not putting Netero in first place? Nah. NONE of the team managed to kill any of the bodyguards and especially not the king. I understand that he couldn't have done it alone but still it was Netero who caused all 4 top ants to be put down for good.
Slight correction. Netero ain't kill Neferipitou.
Gon did kill a royal guard, and also was technically the only one who killed an chimera ant of this level as the other royal guards and meruem died of the bomb’s poison and not rlly netero, as netero just got no diffed by meruem
@@ayinstrumentals7731 Netero pointed Gon towards the room where Pitou was so tehnically he did have a hand in their death.
whole tuing only turned out the way it did because if neteros purposeful neglect so that he could have some fun and have a last hurrah , chimera ants could have been delt with much swifter and with less damage
Don’t disagree with your ranking, but you definitely downplay the lower placements lol.
Only able to distract the royal guard for a few minutes, but those minutes were all they needed, and those guards had orders of magnitude more aura then Shoot and Knuckle. Huge W
He's also most likely the single most intelligent Hunter we've seen to date, at least when it comes to battle IQ.
Agreed, his fight deduction is top tier in the verse.
Palm Siberia and Knov are the two characters made me concerned about their fate in this arc. The breakdown of the two especially Knov hit me after the Kite tragedy.
I called Morel “Chad Gabe” cause he looks like a Chaded out Gabe Newel 😅
But without Knov they wouldn't have been able to invade the palace to begin with. Sure Shoot and Knuckle stalled a bit but if not for Knov nothing would have happened
It’s also such a cop out to only take the siege section of the arc and apply it to everyone’s accomplishments and then use Morel’s previous actions prior to the siege as a justification for MVP. Not saying you’re wrong, but you’re not judging the characters to the same standard whatsoever otherwise knov would not have been the least valuable.
What's impressive about Morel is he's a manipulator but able to master transmutation to make his aura smoke.
Wait if your argument was not needing to win your fights, how is Knov LVP ehen his Nen was super influential with helping them fight the Chimera Ants
I agree that Morel is verry valuable member of extermination team but lets be honest the real MVP of this arc was Netero he not only kills Meruem but allso kills 2 ROYAL GUARDS with poison from the bomb
The MVP was the bomb all along
Morel is one off my favorite characters, such a simple yet cool design and ability
Id personally swap gon and killua, while killua didnt do his assigned job, he made multiple other teams succeeded where they would have failed
Plus you can cosplay him for cheap
Damn right, def under 100$
Depends on the gym and how much time you have (and a fuckton of steroids)
Morel became my favorite character during the CA arc, Deep purple is a personal favorite technique
Knov disappointed me back in the day. His ability is so cracked
Knov's ability stood out CRAZY compared to everyone else!
You don't understand the power system. His hatsu is busted because of his weak nature, he hides away from the problems that's why his nen ability is hiding based.
He was in zetsu, the most vulnerable state he could have been in, and poufs aura was so sinister it broke his mind.
Knov might have been able to trap the king but then he could never use his ability again for risk of releasing him. And he would have to trick the king into entering. But I feel like that ending wouldn’t hit the same
I think Killua was the MVP. He literally helped everyone except Netero and Morel. Saved Knuckles and others, killed dozens of ants, and even recruited 2 ants to their side. He even saved Morel from Gon lol. He was the Queen of the chessboard
He played as support lol
@@detectivemarkseven everyone was support to Netero. Your statement makes no sense
@@pboisron Wrong, each had their own mission. Killua played support for all other missions.
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.
Nah, killua just cried for half of it and didnt do anything with pitou
@detectivemarkseven use your own statement. Each person had their own mission. Their mission were to occupy the ants so that Netero could fight the king 1v1. It would've been terrible to fight the king and his guards. It's like chess. You may occupy queens, bishops, rooks, knights, and pawns, but the goal was to get the king. Therefore, everyone else played support for Netero. If you don't understand that, then you didn't really watch the arc
I forgot if this was covered in the manga, but did any of them even get promoted by the Hunter association? All of them deserved it.
I remember morel was recommended for a promotion, but he was the only one I believe.
I get there are requirements for a promotion but, yeah, these guys deserved to be the exceptions. They did absolute work against the chimera ants.
@@Wolfaydragoon Yeah, every single member deserves it. I just remember somewhere in the manga where one of the Zodiacs say Morel is like 75% of they're power lvl.
To those that say it's knov don't realize that he was the mvp BEFORE the arcs true beginning but after the entry Morel did everything he could to deal with the situation with creativity and tricks rather than being direct like Killiua or Gon or even Shoot
Goated video bro I would love to see more breakdowns like this
0:39 I guess I wouldn’t straight call him MVP, but man, even if everything went exactly the same, how were they going to win without netero?
Literally, the only way I could think is, getting gon to fight as an adult, or just hoping that he kind of gave up and died like he did (but that was only because he had cancer….. from netero) sooooooo…..
Netero would basically be the finals MVP
you got yourself a new subscriber, amazing video and quality, i didn't even notice you had 800 subs until you mentioned that your at 100, honestly thought you had way more, hope your channel does well !
I’ve said this several times dude is a beast!
Underrated Dog!
@@Diosuperior just rewatched the whole show these last two weeks 😅 keep up the good work bro
While I don't agree overall with your take as Morel being the MVP (personally believing Netero deserves it due to actually (indirectly) killing Meruem with the poison). This was a great video in terms of the writing and editing, if you didn't mention the 100 sub appreciation I would have genuinely thought you would have had a couple million subscribers. I'm looking forward to seeing more excellent analyses from you. Keep up the great work!!!!!!
Morel is MVP of the arc due to holding the whole operation together, not because he killed the villain or whatever.
You're summing it up based on raw results, ignoring what happened along the way and how we got there.
That's like skipping a sports match and judging it based on the end result.
I'm just here waiting for they to bring back Morel in the dark continent arc (someone in the hxh association, maybe cow, mentioned they contacted morel and know, but knov only agreed to go to the"fake dark continent"
Dude, there's no Knov, there's no invasion, period. The reason why he crumbled from their sinister aura is because he went in solo with no En to protect himself from their aura. They explain all that.
It's not that he had no en, it's cuz he was in a state of zetsu
he got coward bcuz he never faced such a bizarre aura, its like seeing a gun irl for the first time when you're a child.
much probable he will reappear more prepared (Hopefully). Even kaito was 'anxious' due to a newborn Pitou aura.
Gon and knuckles just are that brave
Shoot and killua are trained assassins, even if they're scared they want to protect their teammates
Finally some respect for my goat morel 🙏
It’s Komugi, without her Meruem one shots Netero in the palace, all the civilians die, and he lives long enough and powerful enough to kill the majority of humanity
netero would still prob be able to pop the rose lol
Nuh uh!
Netero somehow doesn't pop the rose?
Continent = nuked.
Huh? Rose still activites on neteros death. Even if it didn't the half of the island would have been rosed and meruem would have died no matter what
@@IvanIvanovich-qh9xt I’m saying rose explodes in the palace (gon, Killua, Zeno and everyone on the elimination team, and the citizens nearby die in the blast), and the poison still took time after detonation to kill meruem, with how powerful he was a meruem who wanted to take revenge and destroy as much as possible had enough time while he was dying to kill millions. This is also assuming Pitou can’t somehow heal the king since they wouldn’t be killed by gon and that the royal guards couldn’t protect the king in any way
@@fragiletrash3989 but the bomb would go off in the palace, killing the entire extermination team (including gon and killua), all of the civilians, and meruem still survives the bomb and lives long enough to destroy half the continent-and since gon doesn’t kill pitou their healing could play a factor
Morel was also the guy not needed to get healed up or Retreat hastely. Which should he was more or less confident what he can do and only be as aggressive as needed.
I agree with your ranking, but I would just swipe netero and morau. Yes morau is underrated, but netero killed the king AND two royal guards by himself. Like, the king. The only king. He can’t be less than 1st.
W video man, good stuff
Shout out to Shoot for doing THE MOST with his skill level. He really risked his life squeezing every drop out of his Nen ability
Andre Iguodala ass mvp
Ur the goat make the vids longer
I'm not worthy of your praise brother! Thanks bro!!
6:27 The king died to poison not radiation. It doesn’t make sense, but that’s what they said in the anime. Let me know if there is different dubbing you guys saw. Radiation poison? That’s just radiation. They said explicitly poison, no?
It is poison, I remember it being radiation tho I don't know why
@kazedasugoi because it's kinda ambiguous in the show. And it makes sense for it to be a nuclear bomb thematically. But it is supposed to be some poison that can easily infect others from person to person
@@ohwellhaha4944 in the manga it was poison
Radiation poisoning is a real thing.
It is a nuclear bomb, it set a limit to the anime and to foil with real life disasters involving nuclear bombs. The whole fight is foreshadowed by netero himself, saying they were somewhere were bombs were constantly tested. The poison is radiation since meruem was born with perfect genetics only the deformation of genetics itself would have killed him, if not the bomb itself.
(Just compare how it is in a "secluded" island where no recordings there are allowed, A bomb was dropped and there is a mafia going on with the pretense of being a safe place to live. It is a foil to somewhere irl, i just cant name it.)
Imagine if Biscuit joined Gon&Killua to Kite's location
She would die or run? What you on about? No way Biscuit is scratching Pitou.
@@Tomiwa101 Probably she would also feel Pitou aura and warn both of them, Kaito didnt want to warn them cuz he knew they both would go on to fight too... but a 4v1 would be a ez gg if you remember that Pitou was just a newborn without any specific skill
Knov take was bad man respect him
This is the video I have been always looking for. 100% agreed
Dude literally has a stand with name and all lol
Morel the GOAT.
I think you underrate Killua and Netero, and overrate Morel: Netero for obvious reasons, he sacrificed the most and accomplished the overall goal of killing the king and the most royal guards. Killua didn't achieve his initial goal, but when the situation changed he was flexible and accomplished far more. He converted Palm and Ikalgo, and in some form saved Gon, Knuckle, and Komugi (which may have kept the king from killing everyone while he was still alive) and he also caused his fair share of chaos in the selection process, saving citizens and killing ants (in fact he was first to). Morel was a great leader, and maybe underrated, but overall he only managed to stall Youpi and Pouf for a few minutes along with a few other things you mentioned.
You are the type of guy who watches basketball and say more points = mvp
@@potofseed I don't see myself that way at all lol, but sometimes it really is that simple. I rate Killua higher than others and he barely killed anyone (who were super powerful in that arc), just was the best support player being exactly where he's needed
Morel is pure unadulterated the big bro of the team
His back muscles are so strong they carried the entire mission
Dam right
Morel also has an existential crisis due to the guards making him question his whole philosophy on nen combat and despite that he never wavers like Knov did.
Cuz the Royal guards and King are too strong in their base levels not even counting Hatsus, one must use alternative tactics to beat them instead of the normal shonen solution of “power up and hit rly hard”
@@aceclover758 More accurately Morel could overcome Cheetu and Leo through outsmarting them, But no matter how good his plan was he could only hope to distract a royal guard.
Knov wavers cause he experiences Royal guard ren without any ten protection. Similar to the hostility killua and gon feel from Hisokas ren in heavens arena before they learned about nen.
@@brandon.d I guess what Know experienced must have been that hostility Gon and Killua felt but exponentially stronger, like being on the top of a mountain naked for the same time he was exposed. You would never be the same (if you even survive). He could have easily be killed by the En alone if he wasn't such an experienced hunter, I believe. Maybe I'm stretching.
Good video bro
Glad you liked it!
i have a good video idea for you, there is a lot of similarities i found between jjk and hxh abilities, you can make a video about that. (for example sukuna's fire arrow hand signs and pokkle's hand signs look very much alike, cheeto's domain expansion like ability...)
Bro says Netero like 🍜🍣🥢
