Was the entire Chimera Ant Arc illogical and unneccesary? (debunked)

in ep 125 Netero : to face against an opponent which i have strong indications for defeat , with all of my soul (manga line ch 291 page 13)

This should be reason enough , Netero want fight someone more power than him , so he go to fight king for personal goals

but if u want more logical
+ hunters didn't know about all royal guard nen ability, what if someone have ability to teleport like knov

They attacked the day of the selection because it was the only day, they knew that the King will be in the palace. It was cleary said.

Netero paid the best assassin to make the king go in the right location.

I find it really illogical that Netero would risk the lives of millions for the sake of a good match. It is just completely out of character.

Ughhh for the 99th hand time, it was a last resort...

Did you not watch episode 127? The bomb was banned. Using it on Kim Jong Un's palace seems like a very stupid idea that could spark a war. How would the world react to having such a weapon be used again on such a popular palace next to the capital? What government used it? Why? Who's gonna be next?
How many factions or governments would even wait for an answer? And do you really think that telling the truth that a superior race is invading and taking over is a good idea?



Using it in a nuclear testing site... seems about normal. Location, location, location.


The question itself is illogical: Why did they not bomb the palace in the first place? Because they did not prefer to bomb the palace itself. Attacking the palace was inevitable, sure, but invisible Nen sure is smarter than a bombastic rose.

Strategic planning in order to minimize casualties, they need to have the foresight to predict what might be the consequences. Bombing the King is easy, but since it's easy, then the bomb issue is far more dangerous than the king himself. It's all about priorities, even if his death is no.1, doesn't negate that there are other issues to consider, ones that might prove more troublesome.



And again, it was in case all else (including Zero) failed.

People have the misconception that Netero did the battle just for fun. While he did happen to enjoy it, it was never stated, nor does anything suggest that this was his motivation, it was just an added bonus for his final showdown that he was grateful for.

Put in your equation things like....

They had no idea if the King is inside the palace. The palace had underground DEEP routes that a bomb would never do damage to. They had no idea what abilities their enemies had. At a point ALL communication stopped with Netero and they couldn't change the plan. They didn't want to start a war or to create a global incident. They wanted to save as much people as possible, the city of Peijing is near the palace and people deffinitely would die by the bomb. It was a last resort solution.

Well if you think harder you'll find more.

And the plan wasn't to quietly take a ride along with a dragon taxi but to make the king go to the location by the force. It was a surprise that the king went quietly.

HOWEVER your last point is very strong, it completely debunks my first debunk xD
They could not just throw in the bombs masked by dragon dive because they didn't know about their abilities! They would risk revealing their trump card! I'll edit right away!
