Hunter x Hunter has received widespread attention both in Japan as well as internationally. It has solidified its place as one of the most popular Shounen series despite the long Hiatus and discontinuation of the anime.
However, the manga is still progressing, and despite the slow updates, the story is entering an exciting arc. Some incredibly powerful characters are revealed, and the mysterious Ging’s strength is finally shown.
Is Ging stronger than Meruem? Is he the strongest Hunter in the series? Below I have compared Ging’s power to Meruem – the King of Chimera Ants.
1. Quick Answer
Ging is among the top 5 Nen users in the world and is skilled enough to imitate any type of attack or Nen-ability just by observing.
Ging is definitely one of the strongest and most knowledgeable hunters in the series. However, when facing Meruem – King of the Chimera Ants, he falls short. From the time of his birth,he was already the most powerful character in the series.
He even fought against Netero and easily defeated him. No matter what, it is impossible for Ging to be stronger than Meruem, whose intellect, strong physique, and battle prowess is second to none.
2. How Strong is Ging?
Ging Freecss is Gon’s father and a former Zodiac with the codename “Boar”. He is also a Double-Star Ruins Hunter, and it is believed that he can apply for a Triple-Star License with his abilities. It is him who was the main creator of the Nen-based game Greed Island.
Along with other feats such as capturing Razor, Ging is extremely proficient in Nen. In fact, Chairman Netero once told Biscuit that Ging was one of the five best Nen users in the world.
Along with Nen, he also possesses immense speed and intelligence. In fact, his power might come second to his wit. He is arguably one of the most intelligent characters of the series. A true testament to Ging’s skills is his offensive Nen.
He can also generally mimic other people’s abilities as long as he has been hit with it. Even this extraordinary ability is just natural talent and not a Nen ability. This is seen when he easily copied Leorio’s Warping Punch perfectly at the first attempt.
While the extent of his abilities is still unknown, he is definitely one of the strongest hunters in the series.
3. Is Ging The Strongest Hunter In The Series?
Just being handpicked by Netero to be part of the Zodiac is a testament to Ging’s skill and power. He is an extraordinary master of his nen and is among the top 5 most powerful nen users in the entire HXH universe. It is assumed that he is at least on par with Netero, if not stronger.
However, Ging is still not the strongest Hunter in the series. There are still hunters such as Beyond Netero, Botobai Gigante, etc., that can prove to be equal to him.
Just his status as one of the top 5 nen users, means that there are still a few hunters who can more than prove to be a challenge to him.
However, Ging is still in his prime and will only continue to grow stronger. There is a chance that he may rise to become the strongest Hunter.
3. How Strong Is Meruem?
Meruem was the King and the most powerful offspring of the Chimera Ant Queen.
His tremendous physical prowess, along with an unparalleled intellect placed him well above the domain of humans. He was born with the ability to use Nen and had a vastly superhuman amount of aura.
After consuming Shaiapouf and Menthuthuyoupi, his aura became such that Knuckle believed that they would need a whole country’s military power to defeat him.
He fought Isaac Netero, who was considered the strongest Nen user in the world and was able to sever Netero’s left arm and right leg effortlessly.
He even managed to push back two of the hands of Netero’s 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even when battling against him, he had no intention to kill and merely wanted to test out the abilities of a powerful human.
Along with his great physical strength, Meruem was also shown to be a genius tactician.
4. Is Meruem The Strongest Character In The Series?
From the time of his birth, Meruem symbolized the absolute pinnacle of evolution. He fought against Netero – one of the strongest hunters and nen users and defeated him easily. After consuming his Royal Guards, Meruem’s power was enough to need an entire country to defeat him.
Despite his death, Meruem’s power has been deeply engrained in our minds, and he is undoubtedly the strongest character in the series.
5. Is Ging stronger than Meruem?
Ging Freecss is Gon’s father and a former Zodiac with the codename “Boar”. He is also a Double-Star Ruins Hunter.
Since Ging was chosen by Netero himself as part of the Zodiac, he is guaranteed to be immensely powerful. He is among the top 5 nen users in the world and can imitate any type of attack or nen-ability just by observing.
Ging is definitely one of the strongest and most knowledgeable hunters in the series.
However, his opponent is Meruem – King of the Chimera Ants. From the time of his birth,he symbolized the absolute pinnacle of evolution and was already the most powerful character in the series.
He fought against Netero – The Chairman of the Hunter Association and defeated him. Even when battling against him, he had no intention to kill and merely wanted to test his abilities as a powerful human.
Along with his great physical strength, Meruem was also shown to be a genius tactician.
No matter what, it is impossible for Ging to be stronger than Meruem, whose intellect, strong physique, and battle prowess is second to none.
