Respect Neferiptou (Hunter x Hunter)
"If anyone had to bear the brunt of his rage, I'm glad I was the one to die!!"
One of the Royal Guards, Neferpitou is the firstborn of the Royal Guards, being a cat themed Chimera Ant. Being the Royal Guard that Gon, Killua and Kite would encounter, they would take Kite's life and turn him into a corpse for them to battle against. Throughout the Chimera Ant arc, they would take more of a background role until Netero, Gon and the others would attack the palace. Fighting against Netero, however, they would be blown away by one of his attacks, and would make their way to Meruem.
There, they would be instructed to heal Komugi, a task that they would carry out. This is also when Gon would make his appearance, demanding for Kite to be restored, which they would agree to after Komugi would be healed. When they arrived to where Kite was and Gon realized that they couldn't restore him, he would battle Neferpitou in his Adult form. He would win, and with that the Chimera Ant would be killed finally.
This thread uses the 2011 anime, alongside the original manga. For this thread and keeping it with the wiki, Neferpitou will be referred to They/Them pronouns.
