Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro
The Ryodan are sick bastards but not as Netero , the old Geezer is really on a whole different level , I do believe that there are stronger nen users that Netero at this time but probably they are the top 5 only , he himself said that he is like half of what he was before & look how magnificent he was . Anyway there are still strong nen users as i said but as far as i saw Netero is the strongest character introduced in the story until now and yes he was outmached even before he started the fight otherwise he wouldn't have reached the resolve of implanting a bomb in his body . His desire to fight a much stronger opponent is what made him fight the king to that extent " Thumbs up for the old man " .
As for the ryodan fighting the king , i don't think that they're able to beat him individually , but as a group they could beat the hell out of them . For example Shalnark , Phinx & Feitan against Yupi , come on i guess they would've won but anyway i don't think that they'll show up because they're not concerned about the ants now they just killed the ants invading their home & that's it .
Jin , he's supposed to be strong but why would he show up , he could've shown up when Gon was fighting Gensuru in GI & had his hands & legs blown up to bits but he didn't . I don't think he'll even bother to show up now .
I really don't think that its Togashi's style to make a certain character pop out of no where to interfere in a fight . The solution to this whole big problem is KOMUGI , she's the one who'll get the king back to his senses again & she's the key to solve all of this after all she's the only creature that the king probably didn't hurt with a scratch !!
