Current Events > Could the Phantom Troupe take on the King of the Chimera Ants?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Would maybe Hisoka alone put up a half decent fight?

---

After he got nuked he was a god.

A god that's dying.

That's why it was allowed.
---

i mean pre-rose

im not sure much can kill a post-rose mereum other than like adult gon, maybe ging,

---

Netero got his ass kicked, being honest. Hisoka's not quite (emphasis on the not) on that level, and Chrollo is roughly equal to or slightly above Hisoka...

I think the whole Troupe would get slaughtered. Nobody under Chrollo's level is even a factor, for real. The King is raw stats, nen power, and durability. He can brute force/speedblitz anybody in the Troupe. He's also adaptive and learns quickly, so there's not much that can be done to him.

---

Easily. The RG were facing low level Hunters and still struggling. Troupe's far above them. Especially Hisoka and Illumi.

---

Lol no

---

I saw that same YouTube video:

The short answer is no, the long answer is FUCK no.

---

Nah. Even with all knowledge on him and an absolute perfect plan, it's like a group of level 50 characters vs a level 500 character with a broken set of skills. He could likely slaughter them with his speed alone.

hisoka is pretty fast and im sure chrollo is as well
really i guess its chrollo and hisoka vs ant king

They each could stomp him.

---

They'd stand no chance against him. He's faster, he's stronger, he's incredibly durable.

---

Feitan could maybe win(At the cost of being maimed and probably a cripple for life) or have a mutual kill depending on the context of the fight.

If Mereum toyed with him or wanted him alive for information...rising sun could get pretty absurdly strong.

Chrollo maybe could depending on what powers he had at the time. That's a very low chance maybe

Other then that not really.

---

for comparison:

-Kite defeated Yunju, a Squadron Leader, without much trouble
-Pitou, who is 1 tier higher than Squadron Leader, killed kite, essentially without breaking a sweat
-most of the Phantom Troupe struggled against underlings of Zazan, a squadron leader

this leads me to believe that Pitou (or any of the Royal Guards really) could handle most of the phantom troupe on their own. Chrollo and Hisoka would probably put up a fight though

Meruem is leagues ahead of anyone else. Phantom Troupe doesn't stand a chance against him

---

Chrollo might stand a chance because of all of the powers he has collected in his book, but everyone else would die horribly. Netero represented peak or near peak physical strength through training an Nen, and the most he could do was make the King feel pain. Characters with a lot of raw power like Feitan won't be able to do anything. Characters like Hisoka that have utility abilities also won't be able to do anything because they lack the raw power to be able to damage the King. Ilumi wouldn't be able to do anything either because his abilities require him to be able to puncture the target with a needle (Netero couldn't even scratch him, and he was all about pure power). Even if he did manage to pierce the King, it's unknown whether a target with super high levels of Nen might be able to ignore manipulation.

Pre or post gungi?

---

Hisoka's not even on Netero's level, let alone the King.

---

No they couldn't. They would literally have to do something similar to what the invasion team did to kill him and it would be even harder for them because they don't have Knov's ability to teleport and make portals, or Zeno's Dragon Dive to completely cause chaos and distract the guards etc.

Like with anything you can write up some way for them to win but without PIS or an incredible amount of luck and plot favoritism they can't kill him without blowing themselves up with a rose bomb.

honestly one of the dumbest things i've ever read @Knowledge_King

---

Hisoka couldn't even hold a candle to Netero who could barely stave off Meruem. The fact that Meruem didn't end up just conquering everything handily was pure luck

---

I don't care just as long as my arms end up around Palm.

It doesn't apply if their power levels are within reasonable distance. Hisoka could attempt to assassinate Meruem, but he hasn't even shown any capability to one-shot an opponent of Meruem's regenerative ability.

I dunno, maybe the Phantom Troupe as a whole has an argument. If they all gang up and do some shit that they've never shown b4 with Chrollo at the helm... maybe?

But it feels more like a bunch of unarmed guys going up against a heavily armored tank with no openings

---

I just want to point out that Chrollo fought off both Silver and Zeno for a decent amount of time, and didn't they state that Zeno was Netero's rival and CLOSE to his equal?

Chrollo arguably could potentially be CLOSE to Netero in terms of the utility and strength of his nen abilities.

I'm not saying Meruem is beaten by the Phantom Troupe, but to say that Meruem rofflestomps really devalues Chrollo, if I'm right about Zeno being CLOSE to Netero.

honestly dude how dumb do you have to be to think the member the Phantom Troupe are "far above them". Phantom Troupe were struggling against regular soldiers and squadron leaders.

you aren't.

Zeno and Netero had fought on at least one previous occasion, but they weren't even close to equals.

Hisoka and Illumi did not, which is who I'm referring to. Both of them scale far above the RG in at least speed based on their interactions with Killua who blitzed the RG.
