The Five Most Powerful Nen Users in HXH

I admire your hability to keep doing HxH videos with almost 0 new stuff from the source. <3

I like the idea that Pariston could be in the top 5 but purposefully hid his full power to skew the metrics, not out of humility or desire to obfuscate, but only because its funny to make Netero wrong about something, which he would revel in.

The best one’s gotta be Tonpa, I mean he uses his Godly powers to transmute his aura into deadly juice and have you ever seen King Meruem take the Hunter Exam? No cause he’s scared of Tonpa🧃

The thing to remember about Zeno Zoldyck is that as an assassin, he is trained to always overestimate his opponent and that a 50-50 battle is loosing odds. So it's entirely possible he could actually wipe the floor with Chrollo or be equal to Netero and just overstates their power because it's a fight he doesn't see as a sure thing.

Netero: pitou is more powerful than me Also netero: slaps the shit out of pitou before they can even register what happened

I think we’ve been taking the “sparring” with Zodiacs too literally, it’s just too hard to imagine Netero throwing hands with Cheadle. 😂

you know what's scary about Bisky? I've found myself thinking about her broken nen ability several times, and thinking, how ridiculously strong she would be if, she trained and spent a lot of time training hard like 10, 20 or 30 years, and having the support of her nen ability that multiplies the effectiveness of training several times? Compressing 1 year of training into a month seems absurdly strong, imagine how powerful Netero would have been if throughout his entire life, especially in the period from his youth to his peak, he had the backing and support of a Nen user with a skill focused on growth like Bisky? imagine, a Netero who trained 5, 10 times more... that for others too, like Hisoka, Chrollo, Illumi and so on. So for me Bisky is a mystery, depending on how much effort and time the author says she spent training and using her nen ability, she can have power from a strong nen user to absurd values ​​like being much stronger than netero at his peak, after all, if for example the author says in the future that she trained for 30, 40 years, and having 5 to 10 times more efficiency than the others, thanks to her super fast recovery and being able to train almost without stopping, she would have to have a horrible talent to not be a complete monster doing extreme training that would exhaust one's body in 1~3 hours, recover in 30 minutes instead of days or dozens of hours like everyone else and repeat again and again for decades.

I think it’s likely Pariston had a less combative Nen ability- him being very skilled but not classically combatively powerful would add to why Netero couldn’t stand him.

The Biscuit is better nen-user than Chrolo: Technically correct. Chrolo is an exceptional nen-master, but his true power comes from utility. He himself may not be insanely powerful as a raw nen user, but has the flexibility of combining other nen-users power. He is like Rockman combined with 4d-chess, where he can collect nen-abilities and elevate them into a more powerful, unnatural combination. As we seen it in Heavens Arena where he can wombo-combo different abilities. Majority of nen abilities can be hard coutnered. Its the typical shounen trope where the enemy is powerful, until you find the Achiles-weakspot, so most fights go on, until you figure out the hard-counter of your enemy. But when it comes to Chrolo, its like: "Oh... ok... so you found out that I am stealing abilities. Good for you. Now what? All you can do is to prevent me to getting an ability, not using it, or now you can have fun "unlocking" this ability now... " And Kurapika is heading to this direction too with his skill-stealing

Wasn't Netero's meditation specifically to charge up the Zero Hand and not necessarily preparation for the entire fight against Meruem? Remember the Zero Hand was a las resort as far as his nen and life force was concerned. And the Rose was his absolute last LAST resort.

I honestly think that Ging is considered one of the best Nen users by Netero based mostly on his ability to replicate abilities in a more advanced way, while we're still in the dark about what his category and ability is, we know that he can almost completely understand an ability if he gets hit by it. Based on this, if he's able to go outside his Nen category to use those abilities and STILL make them more powerful, Ging probably would cause the same problem Youpi did for Knuckle based on sheer quantity.

I've always thought the potential of Zoldyck family was mysterious. that's why they're not ranked. while Killua is on the list because he often appears in shows

I think just by looking at the relative physical condition of the Netero trio you can tell their level of nen mastery. Netero looks decades younger than he really is. Zygg's shriveled in his old age but still active. And Linne clearly fared the worst.

Thank you Liam and team for making such great and funny content. The editing and drawings are always a plus and very unique

I always thought Zeno was chatting with Silva after returning home to enjoy a very fancy meal, because of what he said after Silva killed Cheetu. Something like, I gotta tell you about this crazy thing I witnessed! Which segues into that cut scene quite neatly.

Really fun video to explore some power thoughts. I always enjoy taking a break with you. Thanks for all the great thought experiments.

The Zeno ,Zigg/Maha, and Silva debate is definitely the hardest to me. I feel in a fight Silva is the strongest Zoldyck to me as of now. I feel Zeno definitely has the best control of his nen though. If the hype behind Zigg is real then he could also be in the same situation as Zeno. Hell we know he's still active somewhat since the manga showed him with Kalluto I think. But going back to Silva I would put him in the top 5 since I see him fairing better in a fight against Netero.

Liam on his way to make 456789th video about most powerful nen user.

What's amazing about Bisky is that she isn't even specialized in fighting, assassination, etc. She is a Stone Hunter and all her hatsu are for health, recovery and beauty. Piano Massage and Magic Spa are probably Transmutation or Manipulation.... yet they are diametrical (with some Enhancement, Emission and Conjuration thrown in). Biscuit is supposed to be a transmuter, but her abilities are as if she is a Specialist. For her to be that powerful, even with the handicap of using Nen outside of her natural affinity.... easily top-5 Nen user.

This guy is keeping the fandom alive with no new information, for years !!! Also one of my favorite quote from Killua Grandpa "the old man (netero) was already an old man when i met him as a child" implying that netero could be over ~110 years, unless some specific evidence is found.
