Respect Meruem (Hunter x Hunter)

anime/manga

Meruem is the king of the Chimera Ants, and the most powerful offspring of the Chimera Ant Queen. He is exceedingly intelligent and the strongest nen user so far shown. Initially proud, cold and cruel, Meruem believes that it is his right to rule the world, and that humans are nothing more than a food source. He soon learns that humans are more special than he thought and becomes somewhat more merciful after repeatedly losing to Komugi at gungi.

#Nen

  • Aura Synthesis - Meruem's nen increases as he eats other nen users: Manga
