Q & A

What is the significance of the adult Gon transformation in his battle against Pitou?

The adult Gon transformation is a pivotal moment where Gon's power reaches an insane level, obliterating Pitou, one of the strongest characters in the series. This transformation is so strong that Gon, without using his Hatsu abilities, punches a hole through Pitou’s chest, demonstrating his immense power.

How does the anime’s interpretation of adult Gon's power differ from the manga?

In the anime, it’s stated that adult Gon is already equal in power to Meruem just by standing there, while the manga uses a more vague phrasing, implying that Gon's power may only ‘reach the king.’ The anime suggests a more immediate and direct equivalence, whereas the manga allows for more interpretation.

What is the difference between the highball and lowball interpretations of adult Gon's power?

The highball interpretation suggests that adult Gon is as strong, if not stronger, than Meruem even without using his Hatsu abilities. The lowball interpretation suggests that adult Gon is weaker than Meruem in base form and only becomes a real threat when using his Hatsu abilities.

How did Gon's fight with Pitou support the highball interpretation of his power?

In his battle with Pitou, adult Gon instantly decimates postmortem Nen-enhanced Pitou without using his Hatsu abilities, implying that Gon's power in base form is immense and supports the highball interpretation that he could severely damage or even kill Meruem.

How does Meruem's pattern recognition ability work in combat?

Meruem’s pattern recognition is so advanced that it allows him to predict his opponent's moves to an almost precognitive level. In his fight with Netero, Meruem could anticipate millions of potential attack combinations after being exposed to only a few, giving him a significant edge.

How would a fight between adult Gon and base form Meruem likely unfold?

Meruem would initially dominate the fight due to his superior pattern recognition and ability to learn Gon's attack patterns quickly. Gon, however, would likely sacrifice his body to land a single devastating attack. This would result in Gon dying and Meruem being severely wounded but not killed.

What could a true adult Gon, with decades of training, potentially achieve?

A true adult Gon would be a Nen master with veteran combat experience and much greater control over his abilities. His potential would allow him to develop a powerful conditional Nen ability, potentially making him exponentially stronger than his adult transformation form, allowing him to defeat even a base form Meruem.

How does Netero’s Zero Hand ability compare to adult Gon's power?

Netero’s Zero Hand, while powerful, only caused surface-level damage to Meruem, implying that it was not much stronger than Meruem’s defense. In contrast, adult Gon's full power Rock attack is stated to be dozens of times stronger than Meruem, indicating Gon's attack would inflict significantly more damage.

How does post-Rose Meruem compare to true adult Gon?

Post-Rose Meruem, after absorbing the aura of Pouf and Youpi, is significantly stronger than his base form. While true adult Gon would be incredibly powerful, with a conditional Nen ability possibly comparable to the Rose Bomb, post-Rose Meruem's additional abilities and intelligence give him more win conditions.

What advantages does post-Rose Meruem have over true adult Gon?

Post-Rose Meruem has more versatility with his enhanced abilities, such as flight, laser attacks, and mental manipulation, which allow him to control the battle from a distance. He also has aura synthesis, meaning he can absorb Gon's aura if he injures him, giving him further power-ups.

💥 Gon vs Meruem: A Clash of Titans

This paragraph sets up the main comparison between Gon and Meruem, two powerful characters in the *Hunter x Hunter* universe. It discusses the insane potential both possess and how they stand above the rest of the series' characters. The analysis begins with Adult Gon, whose transformation allowed him to overpower Pitou with ease. There is a discussion on the varying interpretations of Gon's power from the anime and manga, with the highball interpretation suggesting that Gon could seriously harm Meruem without even using his abilities. The paragraph then explores how Adult Gon, despite initially holding back, shows immense strength by obliterating Pitou. This suggests Gon is close in power to Meruem, with a potential advantage when he uses his abilities.

05:01

🧠 Meruem’s Strategic Genius vs Gon’s Recklessness

Here, the focus shifts to Meruem's incredible strategic abilities, highlighted through his battle against Netero. Meruem, despite holding back, views the fight as a game and still dominates due to his remarkable pattern recognition. His ability to predict Netero's moves after only a short exchange demonstrates his foresight, which is compared to Gon's more reckless fighting style. Gon would likely take fatal damage to land a single powerful hit, much like his approach in previous fights. Ultimately, the paragraph suggests that while Gon could inflict severe damage on Meruem, Meruem would dominate in most encounters, leaving Gon dead and Meruem near death.

⚡ True Adult Gon vs Base Meruem: The Power of Potential

This section explores what a true Adult Gon, who reached his full potential naturally, might be capable of. True Adult Gon would have the wisdom and experience of a veteran, potentially gaining a conditional nen ability that is exponentially stronger than his Rock attack. The comparison with Netero's Zero Hand ability suggests that Gon's conditional nen would be on a similar scale. Given his immense potential, True Adult Gon would likely surpass Meruem in base form and win every encounter, as his power would outmatch even Meruem’s.

🌋 Post-Rose Meruem vs True Adult Gon: A Battle of Adaptation

This paragraph discusses the post-Rose version of Meruem, who has absorbed 70% of Pouf and Youpi's aura. While Meruem gains new abilities like flight and energy blasts, his overall power boost is estimated to be about twice his previous strength. Despite these upgrades, the text argues that True Adult Gon's conditional nen ability would still surpass Meruem in raw power. However, Meruem's numerous strategies, including aura synthesis and his potential to develop a nen ability mid-battle, give him multiple win conditions. The conclusion suggests that while Gon's strength is immense, Meruem’s strategic flexibility makes him more likely to win in most scenarios.

Keywords

💡Nen

Nen is a key concept in the 'Hunter x Hunter' universe that refers to the ability to manipulate one's life energy (aura) to achieve supernatural feats. In the video, both Gon and Meruem utilize nen extensively, with Meruem being described as a nen combat veteran with over a hundred years of experience. Understanding nen is crucial for grasping the abilities, battles, and overall power dynamics in the video.

💡Adult Gon

Adult Gon refers to a temporary transformation where Gon sacrifices years of his life to achieve his full potential. This transformation is critical in his fight against Pitou, where Gon displays extraordinary power. In the video, Adult Gon's abilities are compared to Meruem's, with the analysis exploring different interpretations of how strong this transformation makes him in relation to Meruem.

💡Meruem

Meruem is the Chimera Ant King and the strongest character in the 'Hunter x Hunter' series. The video emphasizes his incredible power, combat intelligence, and pattern recognition, which make him an almost invincible opponent. The video discusses how Meruem's base form and post-Rose form compare to both Adult Gon and a theoretical true Adult Gon.

💡Pattern Recognition

Pattern recognition is highlighted as one of Meruem's most powerful skills, likened to seeing into the future. This ability allows him to predict his opponent’s movements and tactics with extreme precision, which he uses to dominate his battles, including his fight against Netero. This skill is pivotal in his superiority in combat and is a key reason he is such a formidable opponent.

💡Post-Rose Meruem

Post-Rose Meruem refers to the enhanced form of Meruem after he survives a nuclear explosion (the Miniature Rose). In this form, Meruem absorbs the auras of other characters like Pouf and Youpi, making him exponentially stronger. The video explores how Post-Rose Meruem could defeat even a hypothetical true Adult Gon due to his new powers like mental manipulation and enhanced aura.

💡Conditional Nen Ability

Conditional Nen Ability refers to Nen techniques that come with certain conditions that greatly enhance their power. In the video, the idea is explored that true Adult Gon could develop a conditional Nen ability similar to Netero’s Zero Hand, which is thousands of times stronger than regular Nen attacks. This ability would make Gon much more powerful in his theoretical full potential form.

💡Zero Hand

Zero Hand is Netero’s most powerful Nen ability, capable of causing immense damage. In the video, it’s used as a reference to gauge the power levels of other characters, particularly in comparing Gon’s potential future abilities to Netero’s. Gon's attacks are speculated to be on a similar or even higher level than Zero Hand if he reaches his true potential.

💡Royal Guard

The Royal Guard refers to the three elite bodyguards of Meruem: Neferpitou, Shaiapouf, and Menthuthuyoupi. The video frequently compares the strength of Gon and Meruem to the Royal Guard, particularly Neferpitou, who is one of the strongest and fights Gon in the anime. The power levels of the Royal Guard are essential to understanding the stakes in the battles discussed.

💡Rose Bomb

The Rose Bomb is a nuclear weapon used against Meruem in the 'Hunter x Hunter' series. Its explosion severely wounds him, but Meruem survives and becomes even stronger after absorbing the auras of his Royal Guard. The Rose Bomb is used in the video as a benchmark for ultimate destructive power, with Gon’s potential abilities being compared to its explosive force.

💡Hatsu

Hatsu is the ability to create a unique Nen ability that reflects a person’s individuality and fighting style. The video discusses Gon's and Meruem's lack of a unique Hatsu, emphasizing that Meruem never needed to develop one because he was so overwhelmingly powerful. However, if Meruem were to develop a Hatsu, it could make him unbeatable, especially against even a full-powered Gon.

Transcripts

this level of pattern recognition was so

insane that Neo a veteran of about a

hundred years of nen combat states that

maran's pattern recognition was

basically the same thing as seeing into

the future hey what's up everybody it's

Lilo and today we're talking about why

gone versus marw is obvious stay steady

and pursuit of your dreams and goals

you're born to win you're made for

greatness and I definitely believe in

you guys keep up the great work each and

every day so gone for versus maruem is a

battle between two monsters both

containing potential so unnaturally

insane that they're both destined to

Tower over the rest of the hunter hunter

verse today we're going to analyze every

single PowerUp and ability these two

Titans receive to find out overall who

is more powerful than who between these

two characters to start the video off we

have the adult gone transformation that

absolutely obliterated Pito versus the

marm that battled NE

there's a lowball and highball

interpretation of adult gon's power

based on differences in Translation

between the anime and manga the anime

states that adult gone the moment he

transforms just standing there is

already equal empow to marm prior to

transforming kid gon's rocku was stated

to be dozens of times stronger than his

normal punches applying the same

multiplier to adult gone that means

adult gone would become dozens of times

more powerful than maruem the moment he

uses his hotu Rock the manga on the

other hand states that adult gone just

standing there is so powerful that his

fangs May reach the king this wording is

more vague than the anime but the

highball interpretation of this

statement is that adult gone is strong

enough to severely damage and possibly

even kill meam even without using his hu

abilities and the lowball interpretation

is that adult gone is several to dozens

of times weaker than marm in base form

and the only way gone could severely

damage or potentially kill marow is when

goone is using his hatu abilities the

following battle with Pito however shows

us that the lowball interpretation is

far less likely than the highball

interpretation that is because adult

gone instantly punches a hole in

postmortem neno's chest and gone does

this without even using his hotu

abilities to put that into perspective

Pito is the oldest and potentially the

strongest of the royal guard with power

so massive that Pito took zero notable

damage from getting slapped by Neo's

Buddha hand and was outright stated to

be stronger than Neo before Neo began

training again in preparation for maram

and Pito was shown to be strong enough

to survive an attack from maram even

though maram was trying to kill Pito

postmortem nen Pito is significantly

more powerful than the original Pito and

is stated to have Amplified Aura

increased by the postmortem nen and gone

was so powerful he instantly one-hot

decimated postmortem NPO while gone was

still in base form gone decimating a

powered up postmortem NPO this easily

heavily implies that gone was

intentionally holding back against Pito

so that Pito would suffer this is

essentially confirmed with the final

Rock attack done by adult gone it's

significantly larger and more powerful

than all the previous Rock attacks and

he completely obliterates postmortem

Pito with raw Aura alone all this being

said a middle ground estimation for

adult gon's power is the most logical

meaning adult gone is very close in

power to meam in base form with the

slight Advantage going to marm but then

gone becomes many to dozens of times

stronger than meam while using his hotu

abilities so how would this Middle

Ground estimation of adult gone do

battling against base form meam meu the

king of the Cima ants was so powerful

that he easily defeated the chairman and

leader of the entire Hunter organization

Neo after just fighting him for a few

minutes and marim does this while

holding back massively the Gap in power

between meow and Neo was so gigantic

that the narrator States Neo versus marm

was like a baby trying to knock a

full-grown man unconscious in a fist

fight basically it was absolutely

impossible for Neo to win the only

reason why the fight doesn't end

instantly with mariam's first attack is

because Neo is a nen Master stated to

have millions of flawless attack

combinations each one with speed

relative to if not surpassing maruan

speed and meam agrees to defeat Neo

without killing him meaning for meam to

defeat Neo he has to accurately predict

Neo's next move among millions of

possible attack p patterns he then has

to avoid hitting any openings that would

kill Neo and land non-lethal attacks on

Neo at the same time to put into

perspective how much this forces meow to

hold back marm States defeating Neo

without killing him is like playing

gungi without a rook or Bishop meaning

marowan versus Neo was the same thing as

playing a strategy game three times

harder than chess while missing two of

your strongest pieces and still

absolutely dominating your opponent

despite this massive Advantage being

given to Neo meam is so powerful that he

has fun and Views this battle as a game

meu then after only being hit by a few

thousand of Neo attack combinations has

already figured out an accurately

predicted the remaining unseen millions

of Neo's attack combinations that Neo

still has in store and proceeds to rip

Neo's arm and leg off within minutes of

the fight starting this level of pattern

recognition was so insane that Neo a

veteran of about a hundred years of nen

combat states that meow's pattern

recognition was basically the same thing

as seeing into the future gone being a

character with at most a few hundred

attack combinations if he were to fight

this same base form meam meam would

learn all of gon's possible attack

patterns after trading attacks for a few

seconds and then maram would dominate

gone the rest of the fight from that

point onwards at this point gone being

the actual crazy person that he is would

willingly take fatal damage just to land

one single Rock attack on maram this is

100% in character for gone to do as he

does a very similar Thing versus genu

where he lets his arms get blown off

just to land an attack on genu seeing

how an attack like this goes outside the

lines of reason and common sense it's

likely that this would work on meam

either way the fight between adult gone

and meam is most likely to end every

time with Gone Dead and meam near death

one rock from adult gone while he wasn't

even at full power broke pto's face and

knocked Pito unconscious a full power

Rock might not kill meam but it would

severely damage him many times more than

the zero hand did but less than the rose

bomb zero hand barely surpassed maro's n

defense giving him just surface level

scratches heavily implying that the zero

hand wasn't even twice as powerful as

maruan meanwhile gon's full power Rock

scales to being dozens of times stronger

than marow meaning gon's full power Rock

scales above Neo's zero hand as well so

marowan would be near death and go would

be dead just about every single time

these two battle now how would a true

adult gone do against marm true adult

gone is gone freus if he reached his

full potential naturally over the course

of several decades of training and

battle experience the big difference is

that true adult gone would be a nen

Master with the wisdom of a veteran

Hunter and this would be stacked on top

of the insane power stats gone already

displayed when he destroyed Pito there's

a lot of ways true adult gone could be

much more powerful than the adult gone

transformation we were shown but the

biggest power up true adult gone would

likely receive is a true conditional nen

ability Neo an enhancer just like gone

shows his conditional nen ability was

Zero hand zero hand with one attack did

far more damage than thousands of Neo's

hotu Buddha hand strikes showing us that

zero hand is in the range of being

exponentially to thousands of times

stronger than Neo's original Buddha hand

Hsu considering that gone even as a

child in the data books is already

stated to have potential on the same

tier as Neo and the only other

characters with max level potential

stats are the royal guard not even kiloa

reaches this tier of potential according

to the data books this heavily implies a

true adult gone would have a conditional

nen ability in the range of

exponentially 2 thousands of times

stronger than his Rock ability seeing

how adult gon's Rock already scales to

being several to dozens of times

stronger than marowan a true adult gone

with a conditional net ability would

destroy maruem similar to the Rose bomb

uo Jin is an enhancer with not even a

fraction of gon's potential and his goal

was to make his punch as powerful as an

atomic bomb so true adult gon's

conditional net ability scaling to being

relative to the Rose bomb is very likely

and may even scale slightly above it so

a true adult gone scales above base form

marowan and wins 100% of the time using

his conditional nen ability but how

would true adult gone do against post

Rose meam postr maram is meam who

absorbs 70% of the aura from poof and Yi

and adds it on top of his own power meam

is in the range of being two to three

times stronger than the royal guard

scaling off of him narratively being

stronger than each one individually and

potentially being strong enough to kill

all three of them at the same time

meaning even with 70% of poof and y's

Aura at most meam would have only gotten

twice as much Aura as he had before but

would also have mental manipulation

powers and the ability to fly and shoot

laser cannons even with these additional

Powers a two times multiplier is not

enough to protect maruem from True adult

gon's conditional n ability which would

scale to being exponentially stronger

than an attack that was already dozens

of times stronger than base form marim

if marim can keep long distance and wear

gone down with long range attacks he can

win but if gone lands his conditional n

ability then gone would win all that

being said post Rose maram would

ultimately have more win conditions than

true adult gone throughout the entirety

of marn's lifespan he never even once

developed a unique hu ability he was so

powerful that he dominated the entire

verse without hatu and more or less was

just using the basics of advanced men

combat and we saw Pito developed aatu

the instant Pito thought of aatu ability

it implies meam is capable of doing the

same thing developing a hatu or a

conditional nen that makes him massively

more powerful than true adult gone and

just one shots him furthermore marm has

Aura synthesis meaning he absorbs Aura

from eating other nen users and adds

their power on top of his own so if

marim rips gon's arm off and eats it he

would get an additional power up and may

start using gon's hotu abilities even

better than gon does by combining all of

this with long range attacks and mental

manipulation post Rose maram is just

simply more likely to win than true

adult gone your true adult gone has one

win condition which is landing his

conditional nen ability meanwhile post

Rose marow has numerous wi conditions to

choose from therefore post rose maram on

paper is just more like to win than true

adult gone would be that's everything I

wanted to say thank you guys for

watching and I'll see you on the next

one
