5 Strongest Hunter x Hunter Ren Users Who Can Beat All Might, Ranked

While the Hunter x Hunter animanga verse majorly runs on the powerscaling concept of Nen, the system relies on specific core principles, such as Ren. Ren is one of the four major principles one must learn to fully understand the concept of Nen, along with Ten, Zetsu, and Hatsu. Ren expands and outputs a user’s aura capacity as a reservoir of raw power. While Ren increases raw aura output, maximizing speed and strength in combat requires combining it with Ten to maintain a defensive shroud called Ken, or concentrating it into specific body parts using Gyo and Ko.

However, what if we stacked powerful Ren users against one of the greatest and strongest heroes, All Might from My Hero Academia? Here are our thoughts on characters from Hunter x Hunter who can beat All Might in a fight of physical dominance.

5 Uvogin’s Aura-Soaked Fists Turned Him Into a Wrecking Ball

Uvogin pumped so much Ren into his body that his bare fists could crack pavement and send shockwaves rolling down a street. He leveled entire squads of armed mafia goons without breaking a sweat, and his Big Bang Impact was just his own aura output taken to an absurd extreme. He never needed tricks because his raw physical enhancement did all the talking.

Against All Might, that same overwhelming aura-fueled strength would let him trade blows early, but his one-note approach eventually gets read and countered. He lands here because his aura output is monstrous but one-dimensional, making him the easiest of this group to eventually out-strategize.

4 Silva Zoldyck Unleashed Ren to Match a Phantom Troupe Leader

Silva doesn’t look like he’s trying, and that’s exactly what makes him terrifying. During his standoff with Chrollo Lucilfer, the strongest Specialist Nen user, he visibly unleashed his Ren to close the distance and briefly rattle a man who leads one of the most dangerous crews alive.

He can rip a heart out clean without spilling a drop, and he once dropped from the sky to crush a Chimera Ant captain’s skull outright. That same aura-charged speed and precision would force All Might into constant defensive scrambling. Silva ranks above Uvogin because his aura control comes paired with assassin-level precision that brute strength alone can’t offer.

3 Zeno Zoldyck’s Ren-Fueled Body Refuses to Slow Down With Age

Age hasn’t dulled Zeno’s aura output one bit, and that’s the scary part. His hands still move fast enough to keep pace with fighters decades younger, all thanks to a lifetime of mastering Ren until his body could take that kind of punishment and keep swinging.

He fought Chrollo Lucilfer to a standstill without much trouble. Against All Might, his experience wringing every bit of power from his aging frame would let him land hits a reckless younger fighter might completely miss. Zeno edges out Silva because decades of refining his own aura output let him sustain that power longer under pressure.

2 Isaac Netero’s Ren Made His Attacks Break the Sound Barrier

Long before he ever summoned his signature technique, Netero, the most overpowered Hunter x Hunter character, spent his whole life turning his own body into a weapon through pure aura discipline. By the time he faced Meruem, his prayer gestures moved faster than sound, triggering the lightning-fast strikes of his 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva construct.

He landed thousands of hits on the strongest Chimera Ant in under a minute with his lightning-quick prayer motion and statue strikes. That kind of speed would leave All Might struggling to keep up. Netero takes this spot because his aura-trained hand speed alone turns every exchange into a nearly unreactable blur.

1 Gon Freecss Poured a Lifetime of Ren Into One Final Deadly Punch

Gon Freecss‘ Limitation Transformation is the single most extreme burst of raw aura output and Nen Covenant the series has ever shown. He made a vow to trade away his entire future potential for one moment of unstoppable power, and his body physically reshaped itself to contain that flood of energy.

The result was strong enough to kill Neferpitou, one of the Chimera Ant Royal Guards, in a single devastating blow. Against All Might, that kind of concentrated, once-in-a-lifetime aura surge would hit harder than anything else on this list. Gon tops the list because no other character on it ever channeled this much raw aura into their body at one single moment.
