Was netero a bad guy or a hero?

Was netero a bad guy or a hero?

Well, he saved Humanity

He had no idea Meruem was going to become good

You could say he was a good guy, all he did was scare Meruem a little before dying.
He didn't even really want to kill him, he just did it because he knew he had to. So he had a bit of fun while he was at it.

He cheated. Nukes aren't permitted by the rules, it's also a deathmatch and his opponent didn't die. Silva and Zeno helped him too.
Neterocucks are pathetic.

How is he a bad guy? Netero sacrificed himself to save the human race. He could have been a Nazi and he'd still be a hero in this context.

The character lacked sentimentality, that's all. He was a bad guy only if you don't particularly favor humanity like he did.

No, he knew that he was waving between his Ant and Human side and spoke about the many injustices that just become a part of life as we know it. He had to kill him before he ended up agreeing with the guy

...

megakek

he was a fighter

>rules
I hate you guys so fucking much the 22nd can't come soon enough.

He was hetero

There's no good or bad guy, it was simply ants vs humans.

Why is there so many hxh threads all of a sudden? Manga is returning so people got overexcited?

>rules
I seriously hope you're not this retarded user

He was a Hunter

>aliens show up and start mass converting humans into aliens while eating humans
pretty sure nuke is the right answer

>He had no idea Meruem was going to become good

It's been awhile since I read the Chimera Ant arc, so correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't Meruem still going to treat humans like complete shit and basically treat them as livestock or something?

NTR is evil

Yes. At no point until after he had learned of his guaranteed death did Meruem let up on the idea of culling humanity. The best he did was offer to let a few worthy humans live.

Yeah but since Togashi is an average Japanese man who naturally loathe the entire human race Meruem isn't necessarily a bad guy. He literally drew starving children and wealthy men doing wealthy thing during that battle to show how bad people are.

Mereum wasn't good, he wasn't even a good leader for the ants

shut the fuck up m8

He was an anti-hero. Really seemed like a quasi-evil, violent for the sake of violent individual but worked towards the good.

He killed the most intelligent, capable and superior being ever born on earth, Meruem would clearly be a force for good when he learned more about humanity and life, when he had understood love for example, what would eventually happen, by killing him Netero caused a big loss to the world because Meruem wsa holding the power to completely change the world in a good direction, on the other hand the Hunter Association is a corrupt establishment that works for corrupt politicians and man of power. Netero is clearly the bad guy in HxH and that is the way the author intended it to be.

Good one.

He was still going to slaughter them by the millions, but would also leave the few that he deemed worthy of respect alive.

The issue was that he hated being labeled whatever, a hero or villain, just because he got super strong and was in a leading role.

In the end he was just a guy that wanted to fight.

Eradicating a species that's encroaching too much on your own is something outside of good and evil morality entirely, its just something you gotta do to survive. Black and White doesn't hold up there. It was something necessary for humans to survive as dominant, but I guarantee the more you try to rationalize that one with morality the more it just won't mesh. Because it brings humans back into the dirt as just animals, rather than higher thinking species or good and bad.

You shut the fuck up. It is okay to be excited but not to the point where you are overdoing it.

Stop making HxH threads.

That whole part was freaky when he just up and go all demon and shit.

This.

Why?

he just kept running away and hiding instead of fighting meruem up close. But honestly, how much of an asspull was it when meruem came back from the dead? say it with me

O

He was an hero.

If anime has taught me something its that japanese really love the whole malthusian thing. Maybe it's just the otakus but who knows.

He was a cool guy who was willing to be a hero and then villain when the time called for it.

He did it for the species.

He realized there are some respectable people he need to protect but still saw humans as less beings for him to rule over.
Tho he intended to make the world better for humans he couldn't deny he still needed them as foods.
However his thought changed after getting nuked. When he admitted his defeat he was basically saying humans are superior to ants.

Who is the most COMPLEX character of HxH?

Gon (who should have smashed Killua's skull with a Jajanken from behind, Pitou's skull with another Jajanken while he was defenseless & finally smash Koumugi's traitorous skull too with his normal shonen fist - he can keep his third Jajanken for Memruem!)

or

Chrollo (who is so complex that he totally could've beaten Stuesoka without his Troupe giving him their powers & whose complexity enabled him to easily smash Stuesoka in physical combat despite the fact that he's a Specialist so the weakest Enhancer Nen while Stuesoka has 80% enhancer Nen and Chrollo is naturally confirmed to be physically 5 places weaker than Stuesoka)

???

Also, could Netero beat any of these complex characters? I doubt that!

I like Leorio the most.

Lerio will be a nigger in the live adaptation.

MY

NIGGA

Not a hero nor a villain, just a man, with his light and darkness.

RURUS?

They also really REALLY hate governments and organizations and organized religions

???

He's a human bean

What rules?

Sex with pitou.

A Girl

Aren't you the same faggot from the hero academy threads?

>that entire panel

GOAT manga scene, hands down

Once they get enough development, I'd say #1 Pariston #2 Chrollo
then come Meruem, Gon, Killua, maybe Kurapika and Leolio,

You're supposed to watch the Chapter Black alongside the Chapter White.

before the fight, he was gonna do a hostile takeover of the governments of humanity

after the fight, he realized the problems that come with the individual self of humanity and said ants wouldnt use them as food anymore

>he saved Humanity
If not Netero, Meruem would've been killed another strong humans.

I like to think his nen beast shows what a repulsive man he is deep down, despite looking humble and nice on the surface.

He was wavering on what to do.

First he was gonna take down the big bad government, but was willing to sit down and debate the matter for the better outcome of both sides.

Netero saw this and understood he could become either the gentle ant man that handled a blind girl with care or the blood thirsty conqueror who was killing people for no reason. Maybe he could be convinced, maybe he could come to live in harmony with humanity, but that wasn't his job, he was there to kill Meruem not talk, so he just attacked.

Through that Meruem kinda swing more into the Ant inside him and saw only some humans were worth keeping around, he would regulate humanity into Ghettos and only take from them what he needed.

>all these people missing the joke
Cringe

Care to explain?

I wish I was Machi when Hysoka raped her and gave her his rubber baby.

How does bungee gum work again?

...

He saved humanity, it was survival of the fittest and humans once again won against nature.

I want to make a litter of hybrids with her

I love her.

Shut the fuck up.

O

MY

BUDDHA

no idea why you think a spoiled outrageous dictator monarch with a bunch of wives who likes to force kids into deadly situations is a good or honest person

is it because he is smiling and enjoying himself?

So just like Ging but with a title and more women?

...

A real human being
And a real hero

We are in June already, which day is the manga coming back?

Can someone post the Hisoka edit of that scene

>he saved Humanity

>nanika kill the shitty ants pls
>'kay

Can the power of rubber plus gum beat nanika?

Idiotic speedreader.

what if nanika kills ALL the ants? even the little ones?

He'll be doing a world a favor

He was a real human bean, AND a real hero

He killed a blind inoccent girl, slowly

>speedreader

First, you are the retarded one here
Second, at the pace of this manga it would be a miracle to even remember the characters inside it

Psycho. He was a psycho like any other hunter in his company. He was good for humanity but not for other things.

Netero died like bitch.

Why do people have such difficulty understanding the CA arc?

Call it a talent, or a soul, but humans have "something" that the chimera ants do not that drive them, put passion into action, and allow them to accomplish their desires at all costs. "Humanity's infinite potential for evolution" as the line in the OP was translated in the anime. Nen is basically the manifestation of this talent, hence why some talented people who never actually learn of nen use it unconsciously. Of course, humans have this in different degrees, some humans are incredibly talented, like Gon or Komugi, others not so much - the vast majority of humans can't even use nen. This is why Meruem can never beat Komugi despite being objectively more intelligent IQ-wise. Komugi put all of her soul into winning gungi, even placing a restriction on her life - in doing so she far surpassed the biological limits of humanity, something only humans can do.

Meruem began to learn that there is value in something outside of pure biological excellence, in "strength." However, he didn't understand the full picture, he just began to realize that some beings can accomplish things in spite of not being biologically excellent. Before this, his ideology was basically "if you're not strong you deserve to die" now, when facing Netero, it was "I will keep some talented humans alive." Meruem was still planning on subjugating the human race. So you could say Netero was a hero (in the form of martyr) for humanity.

Immediately before getting nuked Meruem finally understood that humans were capable of something that he simply was not. Before this he had only dealt with individual humans, the rose bomb was the product of human society as a whole, the sum total of all our evolution, or talent. Put into creating a WMD. He gave up, because even if he could survive it (he can't), they would just find some new way to kill him.

It's left ambiguous as to whether the surviving ants would be able to learn this talent.

>Why do people have such difficulty understanding the CA arc?
Because it's literally a huge intelligence test.

Even if this is pasta, it's a good one.

Netero lived 142 years, meruem months

>Because it's literally a huge intelligence test.
> tfw the entire episode was seconds story - wise

The theads was nice, I hope HxH get yet another anime so we can see the animefags going batshit with the rubber and gum

the memes are tight tight tight! but if you were paying attention, nanika's asspull power has a karma effect on it and he'd probably request that you go personally drop a nuke on yorkshin if he fulfilled any genocidal requests

But killua is immune to nanika asspulls you dumb dead male cat poster

I don't think that's entirely accurate

>anime

...

I'm confused on why the official translation made Pitou a boy, when they're true gender was never really revealed.

HOW COULD A KID LIKE YOU HANDLE THIS BITCH?

I can tell you read fast because it's stated that he doesn't want to use Alluka/Nanika like that. Gon was him trying to save his only friend, but outside of that he's going to try and solve things himself. Plus if he did use an order he immediately tips his brother off about the wish loophole and then he has to go against his family. If he did that at the start of the arc or in the middle before he removed the needle and refined God-speed he's fucked because his brother will rape his asshole.

Is there anyone even here that doesn't think there are all these "asspulls" everyone is talking about? And even if Alluka/Nanika is an "asspull", she's still a very interesting character with a lot of potential
