Adult Gon vs Meruem, who would win this fight? That’s what we’ll see here today. Gon in his adult form, against the pre-Rose Chimera Ant King. So, let’s keep going.
Could adult gon beat meruem?
First, let me clarify a line from Pitou in the anime. The translation saying Adult Gon was as strong as the King is incorrect. What Pitou really said was, “I was right, his fangs can reach the King.” This means Pitou feared Adult Gon could eventually hurt the King, not that he was as strong as Meruem. Pitou’s statement indicates Gon had the potential to land a hit, not necessarily win a fight.
Although being less than 1 year old, Meruem could actually read Isaac Netero like a book, being able to take two legs and an arm one after another using only the most basic principles of nen. Remember, Isaac Netero has a score of 5 out of 5 according to official databooks. Meruem was probably one of, if not the smartest, beings on Earth at that moment.
In the other hand Gon did well in the fight against the Bomber, which isn’t such a deal as dealing with Issac Netero and reading his almost infinite possible movements like Meruem did. So, unless Adult Gon is way smarter than kid gon, Meruem takes a huge, huge advantage in this regard. Not to say Gon is dumb, in fact, he’s a pretty good fight strategist and certainly a great prodigy, but Meruem is just on another level. So, when it comes to intelligence, Meruem has a clear advantage.
Meruem’s insane Durability
As we saw, Meruem has the best durability ever in HxH. He was almost unharmed by Netero’s Zero Hand, which is an amazing durability feat. Adult Gon doesn’t have any durability feats like that, so he would have no response for the King’s durability.
Adult Gon vs Netero
Analyzing the Adult Gon vs Netero matchup is crucial because Meruem didn’t struggle against Netero. While Gon is strong, he lacks the experience and speed compared to Netero. We know that Netero exchanged over a thousand punches in a minute against Meruem, showing at least that Gon wouldn’t do much better than him. Although Gon’s brute force might give him a slight edge, it is not enough to win. Therefore, Adult Gon vs Netero is a neck-to-neck fight. So Gon would not do much against Meruem either.
Adult gon vs meruem who would win?
In conclusion, Gon’s transformation would give Meruem a hard time in a fight, but Meruem is the winner. His intelligence and durability would be way too much even for Adult Gon. If you have any other arguments or opinions, leave them in the comments; I’ll gladly answer you.
