Isaac Netero was the 12th Chairman of Hunter Association and one of the most important characters to ever appear in the series. He was considered to be one of the strongest Hunters to ever live, if not the strongest. Netero's power was beyond any human limits and that's why every fan of the series loves him so much.

Although he featured heavily in the Chimera Ant arc of the series, lots of things related to his character remain shrouded in mystery. In this list, we'll be going over 10 facts that you should absolutely know about Isaac Netero.

10 His Voice

Most fans of Hunter x Hunter are aware that the series has two different anime, the 1999 version, and the 2011 version. Netero made his appearance in both the anime and his voice actor in the 1999 version was Bunmei Tobayama. In the English dub, he was voiced by Paul Hudson.

In the 2011 anime, Isaac Netero had two different voice actors. Ichiro Nagai voiced him from Episode 6 to Episode 114 and after that, Banjo Ginga took over from Episode 122 onwards. In the English dub, he was voiced by John Snyder. It goes with saying that all of them did a decent job as voice actors.

9 His Debut

Netero was an influential character in the Hunter x Hunter story and few characters had a role as important as him in it. As such, it didn't take him long to make his debut at all. In the Hunter x Hunter manga, Netero made his debut in Chapter 12.

In the 1999 version of the Hunter x Hunter anime, Netero appeared in Episode 10 to show what his character was all about. In the 2011 version of the anime, Netero made his appearance rather early, in Episode 6.

8 Netero's Son

Isaac Netero was focused on quite a bit in the Hunter x Hunter series yet details about his family weren't revealed to us right until after his death came. Once he died, Isaac Netero's son, Beyond Netero, made his appearance.

Initially, many assumed that Beyond isn't actually Netero's son, however, the similarities that the two possess pointed out that they're related by blood. Beyond's goal is to go to the Dark Continent, explore it once again, and return with success.

7 Nen Type

Isaac Netero was easily one of the strongest characters to ever appear in the series. It goes without saying that he was a proficient user of Nen. His main Nen Type is known to have been Enhancement, just like Gon Freecss.

However, Netero certainly wasn't restricted to just Enhancement based skills. His 100-type Guanyin Bodhisattva required him to learn other types as well as he could. Over the years, he got stronger to the point where no human in the world could stand up to him. Truly, Netero's strength was monstrous.

6 Prime Netero

Isaac Netero was known to be a ferocious user of Nen even in his old age. He was able to fight against Meruem better than anyone else and even earn his respect in the process, which just goes to show that his skills weren't to be taken lightly.

Unsurprisingly, in his prime, Netero was said to be much more powerful than he was in his old age. According to Netero himself,  he was twice as strong when he was in his prime.

5 Netero And Maha

While just a few details about Netero's early life have been revealed to us, we do know that he came across Maha Zoldyck at one point and earned his respect as well. Maha was quite a powerful Nen user himself and Netero became the only person to ever fight against Maha Zoldyck and survive the encounter.

Whether Netero was stronger than Maha Zoldyck or if he was actually weaker is something we'll probably never know, however, they were both monsters in their own right.

4 Netero's Training

In a short flashback, Yoshihiro Togashi has given us a glimpse of how exactly Netero got as powerful as he did. In his youth, he is known to have trained in the mountains and show gratitude to the martial arts.

Every day, Netero would perform 10,000 punches and offer prayer. With each passing day, he got better and he kept this up for two years until he could actually perform the punches in less than 2 hours. He would spend the rest of the time gaining enlightenment and improving himself as a person.

3 His Power

Having trained for years in the mountains and gaining enlightenment while at it, Netero got several times stronger than he was prior to it. A demonstration of his skill left everyone in the Dojo surprised. Netero revealed that he was able to punch at a speed faster than that of sound, which amazed everyone around him.

This display was so shocking that even the grandmaster of the dojo broke down in tears and begged Netero to become their teacher. Such was the power of the strongest Nen user in the entire world back then.

2 Netero And The Dark Continent

Upon becoming a Hunter, Netero set his eyes on the Dark Continent and actually managed to go there. Known to be the most dangerous place in the entire series, Netero was very intrigued by the idea of conquering the place.

He took two expeditions there and surprisingly, managed to survive both times. Although little is known about his expeditions to the Dark Continent, we do know that he was joined by Zigg Zoldyck, and Linne Horsdoeuvre on the unofficial one.

1 His Stats

Much like every other character in Hunter x Hunter, Netero has his own set of stats that gauge how powerful he was. Unfortunately, we don't have the stats for prime Netero, but during the Palace Invasion arc, Netero is known to have had a 5/5 in all of the abilities, which include Mind, Body, Skill, Nen, and Ingenuity.

In his prime, he would probably have a 5+/5, just like Meruem himself. The Chimera Ant King, on the other hand, had tremendous strength and during the Palace Invasion arc, his strength was so immense that it was rated a ?/5 by Yoshihiro Togashi.
