Both Zeno and Silva Zoldyck seem to be right up there in power levels.

i'm sure there's a bunch of nen that can present problems for any nen user, no matter the strength. that's kurapika's chain jail.
as for pure power, the king and netero had a good showing, netero's power being so ridiculous that probably no one could stand up to him in a 1v1 punchfest.
But a real fight between humans isn't that simple.


what i'm saying is that this discussion is pointless

In my 298 page HunterxHunter fanfiction, the strongest Nen user is the enigmatic "Lon Loe", who draws his power from how much other people like him. Being near universally loved, of course, makes him the strongest. Hell, the power he gains from his romantic relationship with fem!kurapika alone makes him as strong as 100 Neteros.

I'm so sorry.

The list of entities we know of that were for sure more powerful than Netero is populated by all of two characters, and one of them had to do something sort of drastic and horrible to get there.

The other one was Meruem.

Now I'm imagining someone who made their nen power have the condition that they got stronger based on observers and audience adulation or something like that. They build up a fanbase and eventually become renowned as one of the strongest, most skilled martial artists ever.

Then they get murdered in an alleyway by some random thug or something.

he just needs to use it on one of the ryodan and wait until theres no verses that pop out whining about the head of the spider being squished or whatever

I think Hisoka will win because Chrollo stated that he will definitely 100% win thanks to his super complex set of abilities. Which is basically an anime death sentence.

Then again, this is HxH so who the gently caress knows.

Also I'm glad I reread this series in WSJ in addition to the scans. The way the scans worded it made it seem like Hisoka is super into breaking knees out of nowhere, but the official translation puts the emphasis back on the despair.

Also unrelated but Chrollo and Hisoka are getting up to some serious JoJo posing in these issues.

We'll never know who wins or loses because the manga will go on hiatus soon, without showing an ending to the fight, and never come back.

Those are the only fights Hisoka has had. On the other side, Chrollo lost the only on-panel fight he had.

I think the vast majority of the fights thus far have involved chimera ants, and neither of them were part of that arc.

Silva and Zeno. He wanted to capture at least one of them and instead they smacked him around until Illumi killed their client.

I don't really consider that a loss. Neither of the sides were really hurt. He was able to keep up a bit and in the end got them to back off beacuse he hired Illumi.

this fight is funny because it would be meaningless to the ants and i'm hoping hisoka is so powerful its the same to him and he just restricts himself for fun

he was genuinely up for fighting the entire troupe at once purely to fight chrollo

Silva and Zeno were untouched and Chrollo ended up bloodied and on the ground. Chrollo lost the actual physical confrontation and was unable to capture Zeno as was his goal. Zeno freely acknowledged that things would have been different if Chrollo had been trying to kill them, but Chrollo really had no reason to do so. Capturing a zoldyck would have been to his benefit, but he already had a way to get them to back off so going all out to kill them would have been wasted effort.

Still would have been interesting to see them go all out to kill each other instead.

Yeah, the question as to who would win if Chrollo were fighting to kill is completely up in the air, but it seems pretty clear that, at the very least, Chrollo isn't strong enough to capture Zeno's nen while trying to fight.

My relatively baseless guess is that Chrollo vs Zeno would be Chrollo's win but Chrollo vs Zeno and Sylva would be the latter's, mostly because it's hard to imagine any character other than maybe the King or possiblyNetero beating both Zeno and Sylva at the same time. Beating two nen users at once is generally a losing proposition unless you're dramatically stronger than both of them.
