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.
