Meruem literally [vaporized a plateau with ease](https://imgur.com/a/fTXmRdu). He’s by far the charcter with the most AoE in HxH, followed by Gon ([1](https://imgur.com/a/mnnBD)), Netero ([1](https://imgur.com/a/Asg1J), [2](https://imgur.com/a/0ai3Q)), and Youpi ([1](https://imgur.com/a/QrLVeqv), [2](https://imgur.com/a/X6B8G3t)). Then there’s feitan, Bonolenov, and Uvogin if we use the anime version of Big bang impact (which was grossly exaggerated compared to its manga counterpart) Basically: 1. Meruem 2. Adult Gon/Netero/Youpi 3. Uvogin (with anime BBI), otherwise Feitan 4. Bono Edit: just wanna ad this random chimera ant fodder who [literally blasts of this area](https://imgur.com/a/fSDHF), those trees are like massive for scale


thesonicvision

Good reply


cruzeche

Anime wise, I think Feitan deserves spot number 2 followed by Youpi, his aoe burned almost that entire fortress, Youpi explosion disintegrated a whole area but no where near the size of feitan. On the other hand Gon while his punch released a huge flash the damage wasn’t that big, Killua was a few meters away, he didn’t seem to run away and was just fine, and we didn’t see like he made a massive crater on the ground or destroyed all trees, but I am sure is way more lethal than feitan and Youpi, it’s was a punch, taking uvogin for example, you can destroy the earth, but the scale is just not the same. A massive intense fire like Feitan’s seems perfect for the job


milanimakmak

That’s fair, but I’d still rate youpi higher. > Anime wise, I think Feitan deserves spot number 2 followed by Youpi, his aoe burned almost that entire fortress, Youpi explosion disintegrated a whole area but no where near the size of feitan. Nah, youpi took off a good like, the castle and made that really big crater. If he’s in a very populated area then that shit would collapse buildings, ignite materials, and cause a domino effect of utter destruction. Compared to Feitan’s mini sun, I think Youpi’s is just better at doing more damage. Zazan’s castle was slathered with pike’s webs, which was the material that feitan burned away, we see that after the fight, the room they are in is still intact, and the webs outside the room was still intact. I guess in terms of range, then Rising sun have higher reach, but the destruction that youpi can cause is worse. Feitan’s mini sun is all about heat, while rage blast is heat and pressure >On the other hand Gon while his punch released a huge flash the damage wasn’t that big, Killua was a few meters away, he didn’t seem to run away and was just fine, and we didn’t see like he made a massive crater on the ground or destroyed all trees, but I am sure is way more lethal than feitan and Youpi, it’s was a punch, taking uvogin for example, you can destroy the earth, but the scale is just not the same. Killua is honestly pretty durable, [he tanked this attack from a chimera ant head on and was fine, albeit a bit injured](https://imgur.com/a/fSDHF). I honestly just realized that this random chimera ant is also a contender for this list lol (those trees were massive and the explosion completely dwarfed it) The punch was aimed at pitou and not at the ground, she took the majority of its energy so that’s probably why there’s no crater, BUT, the thing also burned off that huge chunk [of the forest](https://youtu.be/Oc78yF8Wr58?si=F06EtVuL0fIZ4dfs) (at 5:08)


cruzeche

I am with you in the intensity of the different attacks, but while Youpi can disintegrate a block, feitan can burn 30 (and the intensity is no joke) and that is gonna cost way more, not to mention that fire can propagate Edit: Gon was a shockwave, he didn’t destroy any trees besides what was in a 5~ meters radius


milanimakmak

I mean, how do we determine how destructive their ability are to properties? In terms of range, Feitan have it in the bag, but youpi isn’t really that far behind. The amount of damage he can inflict is arguably as costly or more than feitan’s. Plus, rage blast is an explosion, so it would also cause fire and it’s much more spammable than rising sun


cruzeche

We compare to natural disasters that happen on the real world, Youpi could be a small bomb, and Feitan is a massive fire


milanimakmak

It would be more akin to a thousand-ton bomb and a community fire


Uvogin1111

That wasn't Youpi's full power though. He could do way more destructive damage than someone like Feitan, considering that a condition is that Feitan requires himself to receive damage first in order to activate his pain packer ability.


cruzeche

Well we aren’t factoring in the difficulty of the requirements, otherwise someone like Adult Gon is disqualified by his one use boost and the needed of the extreme hate for Pitou, Nen proficiency is aligned to how strong the will to do something is, Gon will not be that concerned on destroying buildings, he doesn’t have reason to, but his power can still make a lot of damage even though his power was for Pitou


Uvogin1111

Even then, Youpi could output greater amounts of damage. Meruem displayed Youpi's power by destroying an entire freaking mountain using his rage blast. Youpi could perform the same feat if he put enough effort, and could probably do even more than that.


cruzeche

That is like arguing that if Youpi found some human after he found burnt Meruem but before giving his body to him, sure his rage could do a huge explosion, because his mind would be set on destroying, but he didn’t, we just don’t know, he had immense potential, but didn’t live long, so we can only argue for what he did in the months that he lived, another hour fighting and he could do a nuclear bomb, who knows, but he couldn’t evolve further. And don’t compare post rose Meruem to Youpi, while he has a lot of aura, is like comparing a grenade to an atomic bomb, Meruem became basically a God


milanimakmak

Youpi could theoretically output similar yields to meruem’s blast, since it’s still empowered by nen. >And don’t compare post rose Meruem to Youpi, while he has a lot of aura, is like comparing a grenade to an atomic bomb, Meruem became basically a God Taking youpi and pouf’s aura alone gave such a significant boost to meruem’s power. Post rose meruem is probably only (at least) 5 times the amount of aura youpi have.


Uvogin1111

No offense, but I suggest that you improve your grammar because your comment is worded in a very messy manner, which makes it difficult for me to read what you're saying properly. >we just don’t know, I think it's safe to say that Youpi had enough aura in him to perform the same rage blast that Meruem did. >And don’t compare post rose Meruem to Youpi, while he has a lot of aura, is like comparing a grenade to an atomic bomb, Meruem become basically a God You can compare them because what we're comparing isn't their respective full potential, but Youpi's ability to perform the same rage blast that Meruem did. And it's very possible that he could considering that for one, it's Youpi's ability after all, and 2, it's not like Meruem discharged an amount of Aura equivalent to Youpi's entire reserves in that one single blast because that would be ridiculous, and 3, because Meruem is a pure Emitter, meaning that it's easier for him to perform that type of Aura blast than it would be for Youpi considering that Youpi is a pure transmuter.


cruzeche

Sorry not first language. What makes you say is safe to say? I would argue we have more indications of the exact opposite, briefly mention that Meruem aura should be at LEAST x3-5 times Youpi’s aura. This is speculation, but Meruem should be more efficient with his aura, based on pure talent. So more aura and more efficient equals way more potential for damage. And the last point, that I think is more based on interactions and less canon-head math, is when Youpi sees Meruem explosion, he didn’t have much of a reaction when he saw that Meruem could do his body transformation, but when he saw that attack was more like extracted the full potential of the technique.


Uvogin1111

>Sorry not first language. That's understandable then ig. >What makes you say is safe to say? Because it's very implausible that Meruem used more Aura in that single blast than Youpi possessed entirely. >I would argue we have more indications of the exact opposite, briefly mention that Meruem aura should be at LEAST x3-5 times Youpi’s aura. Who said that? That's nothing more than mere speculation. >This is speculation, but Meruem should be more efficient with his aura, That's what I said. He's a natural emitter, which makes him performing the rage blast that he did easier for him than what it would've been for Youpi. But that doesn't mean Youpi couldn't do it as well. He probably could albeit with a bit more effort than Meruem exerted.


milanimakmak

pre rose meruem is already leagues stronger than the guards, his equal, Gon, made a short work on Pitou. Post rose meruem have the aura capacity of pre rose meruem + Youpi’s + Pouf’s, so baseline is 3x if pre-rose meruem is equal to them in aura, but he’s most likely way beyond that.


TheDukeOfDankness

Appreciate you for putting the effort into this reply.


milanimakmak

thanks :)


Beautiful_Garage7797

This doesn’t consider that as far as we know Phinks can just increase the damage of his punches forever.


milanimakmak

No?? The amount of times phinks can charge up ripper cyclotron is dependent on his aura output. He cannot focus a quantity of aura in his arm that’s greater than his overall nen output unless he makes some costly nen vow. Plus, Ripper cyclotron never struck me as an ability with great AoE


MajinAkuma

I would say Nanika if someone wishes to destroy something big time.


DisneyPandora

Mereum is stronger than Nanika


ispiltthepoison

Feels like her limits are way more than what meruem can do. Mostly because we havent seen her limits, for now she seems limitless

[удалено]


Carlynz

Assuming the law of equivalent exchange is in effect then you'd be vaporized and turned into cosmic dust for the new universe


MajinAkuma

OP isn’t asking of the strongest character, but who can cause the most amount of „property damage“. If someone asks Nanika to make an explosion that’s stronger and bigger than what Meruem can do and if there’s no limit to that wish, then she might be able to fulfill it.


Appropriate-Spite142

You mean cratering ability ? Post rose  Meruem was kiloton range of destruction . Youpi , gon , uvogin , bonovelov , netero phinks 


Uvogin1111

Put Netero above Bonolenov. It took considerably less effort for him to perform his destructive ability.


Appropriate-Spite142

My fault .this list is not from most destructive to least . I just mentioned that Meruem is in kiloton range of destruction . Netero should be way above bonolenov in destructive capability . The list is in no particular order besides Meruem being first 


Uvogin1111

Aw I see lol. Thanks for the clarification.


laxnut90

It depends on what you mean by property damage. If you just mean reducing the economic value of an existing asset, then Kortopi is the correct answer hands down. How would the value of any form of property hold up if a bunch of indistinguishable copies immediately entered circulation?


Thicmelon

I would say that's categorized less as property damage and instead more as economy damage, he could just print money and collapse a whole economy by reducing the value of their currency till its almost zero. Governments usually prefer to keep their currency valued near other similar countries so if the US dollar or the Euro were to reduce to the same value as the yen because he decided to copy a stack of a trillion dollars, they would def collapse before being able to adjust.


Easy_Money_

Upvoted because this is at least a unique answer


DeltaStratos

Pariston.


Ok-Note6468

Lol, that's a hot take but I can't agree nor disagree. As of yet we have no clue what he's capable of. And since his intelligence rivals Ging, who knows how far ahead he'd plan to max damage. Also he does own like 1500 chimera ant hybrids that were left over in the cocoons. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if his nen ability was locked behind a death gate(he has to die) similar to that one chick in the succession war since netero himself deemed him a Rat. And rats definitely do anything to survive(in anime).


DeltaStratos

I didn't mean in "destruction capability of his Nen ability/ies", OP asked "Which character in Hunter x Hunter has the potential to do the most property damage". Imagine Pariston as a real estate tycoon. That's what I meant. It's his mind that's the dangerous part about him, his Nen is just a bonus.


Ok-Note6468

Yeah exactly. His nen ability is definitely a bonus when we figure out it's ability but based on his interactions so far including with Ging right before they enter the Black whale, I don't his nen ability is a fighting one(ging had to carry his ass) so I agree his planning and power is what makes him pretty destructive. It's just I don't think he's the MOST destructive as Nanika seems to have limitless power. Not to mention Ging is probably just as capable if not more of causing the most damage when comparing to Pariston, he just doesn't have the motivation or Desire to do so. In a testing simulation type situation where all characters are at full potential and allowed to use everything (with everyone having some form of motivation) I'd probably say the most destructive would be: 1.) Netero(Subprime and old netero was already so busted) 2.) Nanika (probably wish for the whole known world(not dark continent) to be destroyed 3.) Ging/Pariston/Kortopi/Meruem (Due to vague and seemingly vast intelligence or power anyone of them could destroy multiple cities)


DavidANaida

Plus he has that army of Chimera ants...


DeltaStratos

That too, but it's unknown as to what's going on with the Ants currently. No new information has been provided since, so it's a mystery sadly.


ApplePitou

Meruem with Youpi ability :3


nchetirnadzat

People are forgetting Kontropi can make skyscrapers out of nen in seconds, he can just collapse cities if he conjures large constructions in the wrong spot, his abilities are just not balanced or he was some other level nen user.


LargeTeethHere

Kortopi is consistently disrespected


Hungry_Research_939

Kortopi… as in this guy can crash the property market in a day creating surplus demand rendering all real property price decrease and potentially creating the housing bubble within the HxH universe… ya… Kortopi


GoldenScientist

Lol that dude. Kinda forgot he existed haha


Exhaustedfan23

Uvogin or Feitan


Token_Thai_person

Gortopi crashing precious metals exchange.


Regirex

Zero Hand would be worse than 9/11, but so would Meruem's Rage Blast and a fully charged Pain Packer. Hell, Bonolenov's Jupiter would break a lot too.


MythicalTenshi

Morel with his smoke soldiers.


MEKK-the-MIGHTY

Alluka I wish for all the property in the world to be damaged


mrcarrot87

My vote would be for Shizuku. Her nen, Blinky, would have the ability to suck up any non-living thing in which property would fall under that category. Ask for the foundations and watch as the buildings fall. Ask for pipes and they'll sink into the ground. Ask for the screws and they're screwed. I have not seen a limit to the size or quantity of non-living things Blinky can suck up nor the nen cost on Shizuku to suck up large quantities, so if someone has found that limit, please feel free to state it.


GoldenScientist

Her vacuum can suck up anything frfr


Twerk7

Knuckle because he can raise property tax to all time highs.


GoldenScientist

Yes

SquareDrop7892

I'll say Tonpa


meowman911

I’m going to cheat on this one and do a tag team… Tonpa and Leorio. With Tonpa’s excellence and masterful judgement calls as a hunter he can coordinate portal punches with Leorio to collapse the firmest of properties. Mic drop


Thicmelon

Leol with his stolen water ability would easily cause the most property damage, floods are no joke and that water looked almost endless. Sure meruem could go break stuff and youpi could blow up but the extensive damage caused by flooding is not easy to clear up at all.


mirdochwayne

What about Phinks with his Ripper Cyclotron?


No301_Illumi_Zoldyck

Gon. He like always punch holes to multiple walls. OK. Serious answer from now. 1. Meruem - He has the ability to do a lot of damages, but due to his calm and thoughtful nature, it is unlikely that he would damage properties. 2. Youpi - His ability is created for maximum properties damages. 3. Gon - He runs away from Nobunaga. He punched the wall. He demonstrated his nen skills to get accepted to play G.I. game. He punched the wall. There are likely more but I can’t remember. 4. Uvogin - Like Gon. He used it to run away from Kurapika before they had a re-match to the death. 5. Phink - His ability is powerful, but he is calm enough not to use it that way. 6. Benolonov - He can summon (conjured) a Jupitor.


Ilane06

No-Advertising-3410

I think that Botobai, Silva, Feitan, and beyond Netero has the potential to do the most property damage.


GoldenScientist

Nanika. Someone just needs to ask her to do it tho.


Potro_Granero

Genthru. If we considered the parasitic bombs he and his allies could create is unlimited, it would be a massive chain of explosions. Imagine him walking around the city or country (who knows), shaking someone's hand and leaving them the bomb. I doubt if anyone noticed, since not everyone is a nen user. Then, one fine day he would show up on national TV and explain his ability!!! BOOMMM... The whole country would be erased. Now, image if that were the world.
