| Within the context of the Chimera ant arc i'd say it is but if we are talking about ones with no context then there are better ones |

No, even though in a sense it was a draw in the end due to how the arc ends, netero would have lost without his trick, it was very clear to netero he would lose in the first place, reason why he resorted to the trick. What simple-minded thinking. Shows tha being kinda right is only half the victory. Netero himself lost, this was not only shown clearly, but it was denoted by the fact that he said Meruem's name. The agreed upon condition for Netero's losing. Meruem said that Netero, a simple human, cannot hope to defeat the King who was destined to achieve great things. Netero agrees, he is indeed no match, but claims that he's not really alone. So after saying Meruem's name, after Zero, it was Meruem vs the Miniature Rose aka, Meruem vs all of humanity's evolution/malice up to that point. This depth, is why this fight is easily the second best of all time, after Gon vs Pitou. |

Cynicism said: Try "Ash Ketchum vs Gary Oak". Much more action and truly, a significantly more complex backstory involved! This is obviously the right answer |
| Not even close. Netero wins through deus ex machina (tiny bomb that fits inside of him, yet for some reason they treated the ants as a big deal even though 1 tiny bomb was enough to fix everything). Extremely disappointing especially because HxH fanboys hype it up as LITERALLY the GREATEST THING EVER. |
| Nope. It was good and meaningful, but it wasn't as funny as Hisoka orgasming nor satisfying as |

| Kurapika vs Uvogin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Netero vs Meruem Also, I can't be the only person who thinks that the music that plays during the Sword of the Stranger fight is horribly unfitting. I swear that I've heard that soundtrack in Shrek. |

| No, HXH had some better fights. 30chara's |
| I cant believe people think so highly of Netero vs Meruem. It was literally Netero throwing slapping attacks thousands of times and doing no damage to Meruem and Meruem getting gradually closer to Netero. Then Netero hits him with his strongest and barely does damage and Meruem starts beating Netero before he blows himself up. I didnt think this was all that interesting, nor even that clever. Imo a lot of other HxH fights are cooler and smarter imo, or at least more enjoyable. Kurapika vs Uvogin, Gon vs Genthru, Morau vs Cheetu, Hisoka vs Butler and some others are probably better imo. I love HxH but I really didnt feel like this battle was so great and am really quite surprised people would say its the best. |
| people bash in akame ga kill ending because they give Akame a new power and when they do the same by giving a new power to the old man no one complain? Fuck double standards and chimera ant arc suck ,deal with it. |

| ROFL, not even close, probably the most disappointing fight in the series. Without even moving outside HxH we have: Gon vs Hisoka, the best fight imo, at least from an animation and choreography standpoint, and the salt between Gon and Hisoka is strong, so that always helps. Gon vs Knuckle, perfectly integrates lengthy explanations throughout the fight, this is why I feel justified in complaining about pacing in other parts of the CA arc, because I know they can do it well. We also learn more about nen, as well as the disadvantages to Gon's technique. Gon and Killua vs Binolt, another fight with good animation, choreography, and strategy, fights like these are why HxH doesn't need to devote time to training arcs, because every one they face helps them get stronger, they pretty much always training, and it never comes at the expense of anything else. Hisoka vs Gotoh, interesting strategy, I loved seeing a butler in action, especially against the best character in the show, and the expansion on bungee gum was great as well. It's definitely not the best fight, but still miles better than Meruem vs Netero Gon vs Netero, the part where he's trying to get the ball. Again; training, animation, choreography. Leol vs Morel, I think I just like that Morel's power is 420blazeit, but even so, the creative strategy used here makes it a fight with one of the best payoffs. I'm usually not into the types of fights that involve explaining how they defeated the enemy after defeating them, because I'm a big proponent of show, don't tell, but I feel this one pulled it off really well because the characters were making reasonable deductions about their opponents power throughout. Netero vs Meruem was good from a thematic standpoint, that's it. The nuclear bomb symbolized that humanity would make it's home uninhabitable before giving it up. The fight itself was mostly animation loops and "But wait til you see my next power!" Kurapika vs Uvogin, Youpi vs shoot&Knuckle, Gon vs Genthru, I could go on, but I'm done writing. |
