Could he have beaten netero/meruem?
Meruem maybe on par
Old Netero definately
Young Netero ehh we don't know, maybe?

Definitely not considering he still got his arm yanked off and basically died fighting a decapitated chick.I think the only character that could have genuinely defeated meruem was a younger netero.
He isn't smart enough to beat Netero and he would never beat Meruem unless the king was taking a snooze.

He could have hurt Mereum. But even if he was twice as strong, Mereum would still kill him. Gon blinded by rage.

the younger netero, but not too young.
Pre-Rose Meruem, yes. It was explicitly stated he posed a danger to the King. Otherwise Pitou wouldn't have said so.
And we know losing limbs doesn't mean you lose a fight, Hon sacrificed his limbs in Greed Island, and Hisoka did against Kastro (which was otherwise a curb-stomp of a fight)
Adult Hon vs Meruem Pre Rose is probably the only straight Power Level match up we can imagine from Hunter x Hunter, since neither have any complicated Hatsu

I'm sorry I'm clearly a mobile poster.
Hon=Gon

A dog poses danger to a man but it's not the stronger animal.

Pitou says that Gon's aura is comparable to that of the king himself.
And neither were too experienced in combat at that point. It's a toss up.

Wrong.
If Togashi needed him to for the plot, sure why not. That whole transformation was for convenience anyway
>>161136416
If Gon-san and Meruem had fought, the possibility of Meruem dying would have at least been on the table. Gon wouldn't necessarily have had a terribly high chance of killing Meruem, but he was strong enough to pose a serious threat and could potentially kill him if he got a bit lucky.
>>161142090
Meruem is a genius, while Gon's an idiot with anger issues. The winner is obvious.
The adult Gon we saw was consumed with rage and acting on pure instinct. Normally Gon fights with some form of cleverness and strategy (Like against Hisoka), so I think if adult Gon was cool headed then he'd have a much higher chance of taking on Meruem
>>161136416
Nope. The misunderstanding of pitou statement. It just means that gon fangs will reach the king.
