Questions & Mysteries Adult Gon and Old Netero vs Mereum

[RayanOO]

Actual adult prime gon would be weaker then this gon that traded everything for what would be decades of non stop training which I dont see Gon ever doing as hes not like Netero.

Actual Adult Gon would maybe have better understanding of his Hatsu and skills

A real Adult Gon have the potential to be even stronger than what we saw

Actual adult would have hax instead of brute force strength. And he'd still have some strength as well. Well, that's purely speculation of course.

And he'd actually have his mind to fight.

Remember, this is the gon that supposedly has traveled around in the dark continent and survived threats that are higher level than the ant king.

If not for Zero Hand we wouldn't have known whether Meruem was in a fight at all lol. Netero got mid diffed, it's clear as day. There were two leagues between them.

Adult Gon doesn't have a single speed feat that makes us say he can tag Meruem at all. His only hope is Netero smacking Meruem into an all out punch. Gon would be standing around looking pretty in a 2v1.

Mid diff’d by a Meruem that wasn’t trying to kill him.

Also, look at the IQ/BIQ/combat skill gap with Gon and Meruem. It’s fucking ridiculous

LayanOo with the rare w take

The scenario that Netero gets a hold of Meruem with Gon severely weakening and slowing him down is totally possible. Though thinking about it more I find this less likely. We don't know enough about how fast Gon can be.

I said low to mid diff, with Zero hand it became a somewhat of a mid diff since he injured him a bit.

You said "Meruem low diffed Netero. Mid diff if we are being generous".

Netero and Meruem were equally matched, it's just that Netero has garbage AP and couldn't damage Meruem, allowing Meruem to find openings while taking thousands of hits, but Gon's AP is significantly better than Netero's, a single Jajanken has Meruem falling to his knees wheezing.

What hax hes an enchancer and we know his hatsu lol

True.

According to the chart the ants are A in threat to bodily harm aka combat power they are equal or stronger then some calamities in that regard.

Stronger how?

Aura and brute force wise? No.

He's right. The same way Rooftop Zoro wouldn't do shit to All out Kaido 1v1 but put a scar on him with his strongest attack. They weren't in the same league at all, but the weaker fighters final attack could mess up the superior oponnent a little. Barely mid diff.

 

[MonsterKaido]

Been a while since I read Chimera Ant, didn’t Pitou say with Gons adult form he’d be able to even kill Mereum alone and that she was happy he was sacrificing his life here

Only that adult gon could be a possible threat.

 

[ZenZu]

Meruem wasn’t trying to outright kill Netero

You can say that Meruem wasn’t really « all out »

he was only trying to talk to Netero and have his name

Gon by design is made to be ~ around Meruem level

Speed wise Gon isn’t a slouch at all

Durability wise with enhancement + insane aura Gon would be able to tank tons of Netero hits

And Nothing prevent Gon to destroy the ground and the area with his AP, to utilise paper to send huge Nen balls or use his scissors

Gon has the portrayal to win this and even feat wise I think he can have a shot (after a difficult fight)

Nah Meruem was trying to take Neteros limbs but he simply couldn't reach him and got overwhelmed by thousands of attacks and Netero's attack speed. Gon does not have Meruem's durability, he really doesn't stand a chance at breaking through Netero's attack speed. Meruem wasn't slowing down at all, and his Gungi experience is what let him find the needle in a haystack.

 

[MonsterKaido]

They destroy post-Rose, let alone pre-Rose.

Kaido and Zoro never fought 1v1, they had a little clash, Meruem and Netero had an actual battle.

Netero and Meruem each had their advantages that allowed them to fight on par for a while, Netero was vastly faster with far greater range and versatility. Meruem was vastly more durable, had more AP and was vastly more intelligent, this is what allowed Meruem to win, he could just face tank everything while coming up with a strategy, but if Netero had Gon's AP, Meruem gets flattened in like five seconds.

 

[MarineHQ]

Just to trigger some clowns here more.

Hisoka absolutely slaughters Godspeed Lillua

 

[Welkin]

1. Gon is a threat to Meruem, but the IQ difference and combat skill difference here is so absurd it actually changes the diff of the fight and makes Adult Gon vs Meruem virtually a guaranteed outcome

2. Meruem was trying not to kill Netero so he could learn his name, the first leg could have just been his head

Meruem should win this, and if it’s post rose it’s not even mid diff imo

The first leg could’ve been his head but he had to tank hundreds if not thousands of blows before he could land a single hit

There’s nothing stopping Netero from slapping Mereum into Gon who has the AP to damage him

Pre Rose Mereum loses for sure

Post Rose is where the gap is too big to argue

This might sound silly but does Gon even have the reaction speed to perceive and react when Netero is smacking Meruem into his direction? Lol

Adult gon used all the power he would ever have at one point though. He sacrificed all his nen out put he will ever have all at once.

Its like if a hypothetical gon trains continuously for 20 years and then decide to use all the nen he will ever have for rest of his life on top of that.

 

[Tyki_Mikk]

Post Nuke Meruem clearly would win(he was to broken).
But Pre Meruem might lose in the end.
Don´t forget, he low diffed Netero, tried to not even kill him...

Netero can help Gon, question will be if they have the AP to seriously hurt Meruem. Gon Has good AP but is that enough?
Im not sure.

 

[Welkin]

He reacted to Pitou easily but Mereum and Pitou clearly aren’t equals so it’s hard to say

Adult Gon is nearly featless outside of absurd AP and movement speed tbh

Gon can damage him but he can also tear Gon to shreds based on Pitou being able to take off Gon’s arm

I feel like Gon’s at such an intelligence, hell a basic cognition disadvantage that he would actually be able to perform well

Like imagine fighting someone with similar physical stats irl but is basically brain dead and can barely function. Thats what Adult Gon is to Meruem effectively

There is no way at all of scaling Meruem to post-mortem nen Pitou, zero.

Gon was not brain dead lmao, he was having a conversation with Killua... he was completely aware of what was happening.
