Isaac Netero

Isaac Netero is a character from the Hunter x Hunter series.
== Charactah Account ==
The 12th Chairman of the Hunter Association, which administers the Hunter Exams once or twice per year. While he never fought during the exams, Hisoka feels uncomfortable around him, and Gon and Killua fails to catch a ball Netero holds in a friendly game. Netero appears once more in the Chimera Ant arc as the head of the extermination team. He receives information on the King and the Royal Guards through Colt, finds Zeno, and arrives to fight the King directly. By this point, the King has amassed so much power that Netero is no match for him. Netero knows the King's real name (again, through Colt) and offers to tell it to him if he can defeat Netero. Netero dies fighting the King, but not before he can tell the King his real name.

== Trivia ==
* In Chapter 344, his name is written as "Aizack Neterro". The Viz version has the character's regular name in its publication, Isaac Netero, edited over the alternate one.
* During the Hunter Exam, when he tested Gon and Killua on the airship, Netero was able to fend them both off while using only his right arm and left leg. In his final battle against Meruem and prior to activating the Miniature Rose, he is left with only his right arm and left leg after Meruem's assault.
** During the Hunter Exam arc, Netero also used his Ren to put Gon and Killua on edge and slip past them. The same occurred to him and Zeno when Neferpitou's activation of Doctor Blythemomentarily distracted them, allowing Meruem to walk between them more swiftly than they could react.
* One of Netero's most memorable quotes reads "I dreamed of giving my heart and soul to battle an unstoppable adversary". In the final moments in his battle with Meruem, he uses Zero Hand, a Nen ability that focuses ones entire aura (or soul) into a final attack, completely draining it, and when he died, he did so by thrusting his fingers into his heart, a turn of events that almost exactly matches the quote just given.
* Although Netero's 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva is considered his most powerful technique, his natural Nen type (Enhancement) does not seem to contribute to the ability. It is possible, although never hinted at, that Netero uses Enhancement to accelerate his speed, reflexes, and in particular his hand motions to such a pinnacle that it is outright incomprehensible to all but one of the characters that witnessed it, that being Meruem; even then, Meruem was also unable to keep up with the speed at first but managed to grow accustomed to it over the conflict.
* If so, and if 100-Type Guanyin Bodhsisattva is created through Emission and possibly Transmutation, this would mean that Netero uses all accessible types (therefore excluding Specialization) in his Nen ability except Conjuration/Materialization. This could have some minimal relation with the character's Buddhist-like theme and the concept of detachment from the desire for things present in some religions including Buddhism, although not always literally or exclusively material things but greatly linked to it.
* When he was introduced, Isaac Netero displayed an incredible sense of balance by drinking with a straw from a glass on a plate he was holding up with his foot; when talking to the Zodiacs, his son, Beyond Netero, accomplished a similar feat, keeping a pen standing on its tip without touching it.
