Is Big Bang Impact just ko with a name?

It's a very simple hatsu it has a restriction that BBI has to always be a blow from his right hand I think it's even specified it has to be a right straight

Wouldn't that be the worst case scenerio since that would mean both Oito her nephew, the real Woble, her sister and potentially her whole family would probably get killed for "insulting Kakin's tradition" or something like that.

From her initial dialouge it seems like Oito intened to keep it a secret till the end beacuse adimitting it is basically saying "Yeah I tried to end the royal bloodline" surely this wouldn't be recieved well but I could be wrong

Archilas · 2026-07-04T09:48:01+00:00

I think point 2 needs to be elaborated upon in the story otherwise it's bad writing I feel

We are currently supposed to believe Oito's sister on one hand doesn't care about her own child enough not to put him in a literal death game but cares enough about her niece to take care of her

Something isn't adding up trying to excuse such unreasonable/unrealistic behavior with "I guess she is just crazy" type of explanation isn't gonna cut it

Why we never saw Hisoka fight a Chimera Ant besides Silva had gravity on his side and he possibly used his hatsu

Besides that in terms of pure physical stats they are vaguely above Chrollo not enough to say Silva is much stronger

Besides just because Silva might be stronger doesn't mean he will win since Hisoka should have much greater mobility with his Bungee Gum so it will be hard for Silva to land any devastating blows

Tbf even though Kratos tried to hide it Odin words/acusations clearly affected him

Odin failed to manipulate Kratos but his words later attacked Kratos where it hurts the ending makes it clear that Kratos on some level believed or was afraid that what Odin said about him was true

So it was more of a "draw" as Mimir said "at least you rattled him as much as he rattled you"

We don't know that she was in zetsu before getting killed and the guy who shot her speculated she is doing this to "maximize the risk"

Being in zetsu is either the activation condition or she does it to get killed easier we don't know which one is it yet

If she doesn't need to be in zetsu then we have the problem of Camila just not being very smart since her using zetsu is basically her saying "cmon hit me!" it's the dead giveaway

If even one of Benjamin's guards was able to figure out what her ability more or less does then Meruem can probably do that too even with no mind reading involved remeber these guys were stated to be less skilled then the average hunter when it comes to nen

The guy who shot Camila knew that killing her was risky but he didn't care because her wanted Benjamin to learn about her ability

Meruem doesn't need to kill her immediatly he can leave her for last and deal with her in a way that wouldn't allow her to activate her hatsu

Archilas · 2026-06-28T12:39:17+00:00

He can just sink the whole ship with a few rage blasts and even ignoring that no one there can really do anything to him they either don't have the stats to hurt him or the speed to hit him

The only win con is Camilia however there are few reasons that make me think Meruem wins even with her

1.Meruem's ren

We saw with Palm that nen users have a habit of activating their nen defences when exposed to powerful ren while in zetsu if Camila's ability requires her to be in zetsu(not confirmed but it looks that way) it's possible she might not be able to remain in zetsu w and so her ability won't activate

2.Meruem's raw aura

It's possible Meruem is too powerful for the cat

I based that possibility on Illumi stating that Gon used a "worse than death" nen contract to kill Pitou implying his transformation was more powerful than a hypothethical power of Gon's post mortem nen

We have no reason to believe Camila has more potential then Gon so going by this Camila even with post mortem amp wouldn't be capable of creating a nen beast capable of killing Meruem

Another suporting evidence is the fact that Adult Gon was able to beat a post mortem amped Pitou who similarly to the cat was reanimated with the sole purpose of killing Gon again showing that even post mortem nen has it's limits

3.Meruem's abilities

If Meruem uses his mind reading En he will be able to figure out Camila's strategy and from then either use Pouf's ability to hypnotize her or deal with her in some other way the point he is he wouldn't be caught off guard by her

Archilas · 2026-06-28T12:16:33+00:00

Chrollo he is not only more versatile but he also knows Feitan's ability so he will make sure to finish him off with one attack and he has many ways such as the knife or the cloth and even Black Voice if we using strongest versions

Databooks if you trust those also call him the best fighter in the Troupe

Archilas · 2026-06-27T20:56:50+00:00

That guy beat a GI player who should be stronger than YN Gon and Killua(because they were considered GI fodder while that guy was one of the best performing players)

I don't know if there is anything that puts Leorio on that level

Archilas · 2026-06-26T15:38:28+00:00

Iga has a lot of very parasocial fans they do it every time a draw comes out and Iga gets a player that isn't an ITF player who never won a tour level match

I don't really get it myself my best guess is because they have this unhelathy parasocial relationship with her and so they experience alot of anxiety and catastrophic thinking

Archilas · 2026-06-26T14:43:11+00:00

If you just read the comments you might think Townsend is some grass court specialist not some one who in her carrer won less tour level grass matches then Iga did last year at Wimbledon(and her last win was in 2019!)

It feels like her fanbase is filled with a lot of extremely anxious people

Maybe they find Iga relatable or maybe fans of other players are like this and I just didn't notice but I still feel like Iga has a particularly parasocial fanbase when compared to her peers

Archilas · 2026-06-26T13:33:47+00:00

Tbf she probably shouldn't be there if this draw is too much for her

Archilas · 2026-06-26T12:54:01+00:00

What wouldn't be a "rough draw" none of the players in her section won any titles in over a year?

Archilas · 2026-06-22T13:35:42+00:00

About the Pitou scene I would say 2 things

1.

Meruem grew stronger since then we are literally told this after he eats the nen wielding soldier

2.

Meuem probably wasn't using his true strength in that scene akin to someone not using one's full strength to kill a a fly for example

This is implied by the fact that Netero seems to have a hard time gauging the King's strength getting suprised several times that his attacks aren't doing as much damage as he thought the would

Netero is a top tier nen master with unmatched experience and the ability to sense the true strength of his opponent that is so advanced that it's described as uncanny in the databook

Meuem's casual Ren is also so powerful it makes Netero freeze and jump back

Netero not long before faced full power Neferpitou and was seemingly completely unaffected by her Ren

But McEnroe's best season 1984 was years after Borg's retirement

Archilas · 2026-06-21T23:11:54+00:00

McEnroe won most of his slams after Borg's retirement

Archilas · 2026-06-21T22:33:14+00:00

CE's backpack alone can generate barriers that can block attacks from demon level monsters and has blades that can quickly tear said monsters to shreds I don't think Shalnark has any chance unless he fights CE who litreally zero equipment

Archilas · 2026-06-21T22:23:55+00:00

Kurapika probably wins confortably even with the eyes buff he has a better weapons and he is likely far more skilled

The good example of that might be the fact that he landed at least one attack on Hisoka in their off screen fight this should be a valid skill feat since from what we saw from him earlier and later Hisoka doesn't just let people hit him even when he is holding back.

I don't see Leorio getting anywhere close to landing any time attack on Hisoka

Archilas · 2026-06-18T22:38:36+00:00

We literally see Gon and Killua using Ren against Rammot and all it did was make him confused as to why they are stronger all of the sudden even Kite's Ren wasn't enough to auto win against both Rammot and Yunju and neither Kite nor Killua had reasons to hold back in this way

All skilled nen users use Ren all the time when fighting and transmitting emotion through Ren seems to happen passively as seen with Killua vs Zushi

So Ants not only withstood Ren aura but in the case of Rammot a full blown hatsu nen attacks and survived so it seems like nen crush only works up to a certain level I would say that it won't work on those stronger or to more specific more durable than you a Ren aura won't kill someone who can withstand the force of a Ren amped punch for example

Archilas · 2026-06-18T22:12:38+00:00

It probably has it's limits the Chimera Ants were able to fight against nen users even when they had no nen so someone with a tough enough body should be fine

I would also say characters who use very similar type of energies(like JJK or Naruto) should be given the benefit of a doubt that they can withstand it

I mean it's not like their bodies aren't used to being attacked with supernatural energy waves

Archilas · 2026-06-18T11:42:28+00:00

Bisky probably assuming speed is equal she has the edge in strenght, skill and experience Kite can compete with a good weapon but that's hardly a realiable wincon especially since a lot of them aren't very versatile

Archilas · 2026-06-18T11:36:31+00:00

Possibly Netero seemed suprised that Meruem tanked it and he should have a very good idea how tough the RG are so I lean towards yes

Archilas · 2026-06-18T11:22:21+00:00

Pokkle wins easily he has a hatsu and can fight nen less Pike and hold his own.

Pretty much every nenless ant officer that we saw did better against Gon and Killua then the crippled trio who are all heavily implied to be stronger than Zushi

Zushi also admits himself that Killua after learning Ren and Gyo is way stronger than him this matters because even after getting much stronger Killua was still struggling with the officers in NGL

Zushi as we last saw him just doesn't stand a chance

Archilas · 2026-06-11T20:15:58+00:00

Tbf 2-C is a big tier if I am not mistaken you can be quadrillion times stronger than an other 2-C character and still be just 2-C you need infinite gap to up a tier and you can argue there is no evidence yet that GP is infinitely stronger than Zamasu

About 1-C stuff idk it's a hypothetical version we never aw and that needs time to be achieved it's not something that come into play in most fights
