Hunter x Hunter 2011

[Splash!]

Yeah, but one of the arrogant pro Hunters following Netero said you have lost already if you let the enemy's aura overwhelm you, and in a nen fight even the smallest of actions can change the outcome. In the end the royal guard obviously has an enermous aura, but before messing with the arrow dude's brain it didn't even know what nen is and before Kite it had never used it in combat. Also, the Queen hadn't eaten a single real nen user before Neferpitou, so it can't even have any techniques through that bs way. In other words, it can't have any techniques or extensive knowledge, it only has brute force. I doubt brute force will fly that long against the likes of Netero. In fact I'd expect Netero (or the two companions) to be able to use the brute force against the opponent. I'd guess Kite's downfall was the arm lost due to foolishly diverting his attention to Gon & Killua. Neferpitou wouldn't have needed to do anything but keep harassing Kite, and the fight would have been over due to blood loss.

The point the Morel guy seemed to be making was that there is always the chance to beat your opponent, as a moment of carelessness could a decide a battle. However, that doesn't change the fact that being ridiculously strong is probably the most important advantage you can have in a fight. Also, what Morel said applies equally to Kite. So yes, that moment where he tried to 'protect' Gon and Kite probably decided the outcome of the battle right then and there, regardless of how strong he actually was.

Secondly, it doesn't mean a whole lot that Neferpitou doesn't know the details when she seems naturally adept as using nen. You can't use human standards to evaluate these chimera ants. For one thing, they seem to be able to use human speech right from the get go. What is to stop them from coming out with fully developed nen abilities, even if they don't understand how their innate talents work. What we already saw from Neferpitou isn't something humans can do without actual training so it wouldn't be stretch if there was more to it.
