Hunter X Hunter is one of the most interesting anime with a plethora of powerful characters.
We are yet to see the twelve Zodiacs of former Chairman of Hunters association Netero in action.
Just watching Hisoka, Illumi, and the rest of Zoldycks gives chills to the spine, and yet there are many more powerful people like the Spiders and the Zoldycks.
But one antagonist surpasses all other characters in terms of strengths. The King of Chimera Ants, Meruem.
He is the strongest character ever and surpasses all others.
He was able to defeat Chairman Netero, who is considered one of the strongest Nen Users ever, quite easily.
The Chimera Ant King Meruem was born with the ability to use Nen right from birth.
He was much stronger than any trained and experienced Nen user and surpassed the strengths of his Royal Guards by a hundred folds.
Well, now the most asked question that remains is “Can Ging Freecss defeat Meruem?”, “Is Ging stronger than Meruem?” or “Will Meruem kill Ging?”
So let’s go through the abilities of Gon’s Father, Ging Freecs and try to understand who would win in a fight.
What are the strengths and abilities of Ging Freecss in Hunter X Hunter?
Gon’s father, Ging Freecss, is one of the top 5 strongest Nen Users in the world.
He is an exceptional fighter and one of the twelve Zodiacs of the former Chairman of Hunter’s association, Issac Netero.
Ging is one of the creators of the superfamous real-world Nen game, the Greed Island. Ging had the idea to create a game where skilled Nen users can utilize their skills in a real-life game.
He created the game Greed Island with his ten other trusted friends.

He was able to copy Leorio’s warp attack with the same accuracy and effect after he was once punched by it.
Not to mention, Ging could be as strong as Chairman Netero.
He is very sharp and experienced. Not to mention the fact that he is a Two Star Ruin Hunter.
He can easily become a Three-Star if he applies for it.
Ging is also very brilliant and a great strategist. And that is one more reason why he is considered among the strongest Nen users across the world.
Ging is also well respected among the twelve Zodiacs of Chairman Netero.
He is given the nickname “Boar”, and even if they act like Ging is a nuisance, everyone recognises his abilities and holds him in great esteem.
To be respected by some of the strongest Hunters across the globe and be among the top 5 Nen users is something else.
Since he is in the top 5, there can definitely be some Nen users stronger than Ging.
He would have a hard time against them, and we cannot say for sure if he would win.
But, we can definitely say that Ging is undoubtedly among the strongest Hunters in Hunter X Hunter.
How Strong is the Chimera King Meruem?
The King of Chimera Ants, Meruem, is the strongest and vastly overpowered character in Hunter X Hunter so far.
He had the ability to use Nen right from his birth as the Queen consumed thousands of Nen users before giving birth to the King.
His royal guards are as strong as some of the strongest Hunters in the Hunters Association, and we can definitely consider them much stronger than Illumi or Hisoka.
But they don’t even hold a candle against the Chimera King. They can be compared to only 20% of his strength. Meruem is vastly overpowered.

(Image Credit: Nippon Animation)In his fight against the chairman of the Hunter Association, Issac Netero, Meruem was easily able to cut off his right leg and left arm without even trying to fight him seriously.
He just wanted to see how strong a human becomes because he was impressed by Komugi, the blind world champion of Gungi.
She was continuously evolving and getting better. Meruem, despite his super intelligence, could not defeat Komugi even once.
Meruem just wanted to see how strong humans can become.
He also recognised Netero’s strength and his thousand hands of the bodhisattva.
That was the hardest Meruem had ever needed to fight.
Netero was once recognised as the strongest Nen user in his prime.
No one could even touch him. His hands moved faster than the speed of the sound, and a single blow was enough to defeat any ordinary Nen user.
No one had ever been able to touch Netero, and yet Meruem was able to cut off his arm and a leg. Insane, isn’t it?
Netero had to depend on the “Rose”, a miniature atomic bomb that he fitted inside his own heart.
When he knew that he could not stop Meruem, he killed himself and triggered the explosion.
However, Meruem survived the most potent weapon humanity had created, and thanks to his royal guards, Pouf and Youpi, he was able to revive.

The radiation caused by Rose lasts for thousands of years, and not a single plant can grow on that land again.
Even Meruem could not withstand it and later died due to it.
So do you think Ging Freecss could hold a candle to this powerful King of the Chimera Ants?
Hunter x Hunter: Who would win a fight, Ging Freecss or Meruem?
Ging Freecss is undoubtedly one of the strongest Nen users in the world. One of the top 5, to be more specific.
His ability to imitate any attack is definitely useful.
But, when against the King of Chimera Ants, I doubt if it would have been much use.
Because it is difficult for even a skilled Nen user to survive his blow, and even Ging would have to put everything on the line to survive one.
Not to mention the fact that Meruem is overpowered and too powerful.
Even if Ging had been as powerful as Netero, he still would have stood no chance against the Chimera Ant King.
Netero was able to fight Meruem because of who he was.
He had an experience of over 150 years of combat and was undefeated throughout.
Ging would have been able to fight Meruem, but I doubt if he could defeat him in a fair fight.
What do you think about it? Can Ging Freecss defeat the King of Chimera Ants, Meruem, in battle?
Or would Ging have died at Meruem’s hands? Let us know your thoughts on this in the comments below. Also, write down what would you like to know about next.
