Above, he was at King levels (although I don't think Gon ever comes close to achieving King levels without the afterburner power-up.)

I believe Gon-san is on the same level as Netero in his prime and Mereum before he came back.
Gon basically did what took Netero decades of constant training in an instant.
That list is kind of whack anyway as you can see Komugi is on the same level as Leorio despite being completely unable to fight, or Razor and Hisoka being on the same level.
But hey, Togashi approved power levels for arguing who is the stronkest

Pouf at that time had offered the majority of himself to the king, significantly reducing his strength, and on top of that, Killua was fighting a clone. You can't really measure Pouf's strength off of that.
And that chart doesn't say anything about any royal guard being stronger than the others. They all score the same where it matters when discussing fighting strength strictly; skill, strength & nen. It's not that reliable anyway, Netero's got max scores yet the king is obviously above him. It's also quite outdated at this point. And anyways, HxH has mostly focused on clever uses of nen, rather than power levels as such.

Probably above Netero seeing as Pitou said Gon-San was as strong as the King, who was stronger than Netero when they fought

I'm not really sure if you can say that, as we have no idea how strong Netero really was. I'm not even sure if Netero could have been stronger than the king at all. But yeah, like I said before idk how trustworthy that list is in an actual battle.
Sorry if double post
Pitou never said Gon was as strong as the King, Crunchyroll just translated it as such. Pitou literally said "his fangs would reach the King". To the Royal Guards, pretty much everyone is considered a threat to the King, so it's very hard to tell how strong Gon-san really is going off of Pitou's words.
How is Zushi lower than Komugi?
Even though Togashi made it idk if I would take it to heart
You can't just add up the total and say one is better than another.
Knuckle and Shoot can still run circles around Gon (don't know about Killua post-Godspeed) even if their total is smaller.
And what the heck is wrong with Razer being at the same tier as Hisoka? It doesn't mean Hisoka is suddenly a scrub or that his potential is going to remain there.

Yeah. Nen ability isn't always about combat. There are many abilities out there that can be used to beat stronger enemies, if used properly. Owl (Shadow Beasts) is probably really weak physically, but he caught Nobunaga and could have probably squished him to death. Komugi's ability is like zero combat.
Komugi's nen is 0.
Also in terms of strength zushi should be higher than Komugi just based off of what we've seen.

Biscuit higher than Hisoka? I call fake.
Nobody can convince me otherwise.

those numbers really don't mean anything in an actual fight, no point in talking about them
Word.
I don't disagree that they mean nothing in an actual fight, but some of the numbers just don't make any sense to begin with.
Unless Komugi is shown being able to knock a regular person out with one punch, I stand by my statement.

are you looking at the official (volume) translation or a scan? The scans that are online vary between saying his fangs would reach the king and that his power had reached the king, after just looking. I haven't read the official translation though.
edit: I just read the Viz translation, which does indeed say "As I feared, his fangs might even sink into the king"
Pitou says it in the anime too.

Right, so after this episode, I'm leaving another 5 episode gap before watching again. Not gonna stay week after week for buildup...buildup...buildup. Got too hyped after last week.
what do they mean by spirit? interesting to see that hisoka has more talent than chrollo.
Even though Togashi made it idk if I would take it to heart
I'm really not so sure about that.
I see it as willpower or resolve myself. Also, not surprised Hisoka has a genius level of talent.
There's only like 3 episodes in the arc, this shit is going to be reaching a resolution soon. Might as well keep watching.

idk does it feel that sometimes the animation doesn't look as crsip as it did in the previous arcs
granted we do get some amazingly animated episodes in this arc but at times we get some animation that looks more low budget then the rest of the episodes

^ I'm confused. They already fought? Is this a spoiler?
Could it be because it was moved to the late night slot? I just started watching about 2 months ago, but I heard last year it used to air in the morning or something. The timeslot change could have affected the budget if it was moved to a timeslot where a lot less people would be watching it.

The chart is stupid because
1 it makes people compare powerlevels, while we know HxH isn't like that,
2 they do it without noticing that 5 points from the total is "spirit", the resolve or willpower or guts of someone, which can skew scores (like with Komugi)
3 the gradient from 0 to 5 is small and it makes people think that some character are almost up to par when we know there should be a bigger difference

might be who knows
still lower budget or not I am glad good studios like these exist that actually have talent compared to the atrocious sub par (plastic looking) animation studio that is Toei animation
they only stay significant due to animating OP and the old image that they animated top series like DB and Sailor Moon
Even though Togashi made it idk if I would take it to heart
i'm surprised about kurapica and razor, the rest is fine
I think it's pretty easy to understand the chart isn't meant to be read as "This character is better than this character and will always win in a fight because over 9000" but rather just showing the potential and basic stats of everyone. We all know fights in HxH are based as much on circumstance, experience, and matchups as they are raw stats, so I'm not seeing what the chart hurts or why it's rustling folks' feathers.

Pitou says it when Gon is in the room with him and Komugi yeah
No, I mean when Gon is transforming. She says almost the exact same thing again, but for some reason Crunchyroll decided to translate it differently.
The words used in Japanese are the exact same, so it's just Crunchyroll being inconsistent for whatever reason.
edit: To clarify, my Japanese vocabulary is very small, but this is what I'm talking about;
The first time Pitou's thoughts about Gon's power come up it's when she's still healing Komugi, and she thinks "his fangs may reach the King's throat".
The second time is while Gon's transforming, and she thinks "(I was right,) his fangs will reach the King" or "have reached the King", something to that effect. Now while Crunchyroll translated it with those same words the first time, the second time was translated as "his power is now equal to that of the King", which is not exactly the same thing. It's weird because the words used are the exact same both times in the Japanese.

Oh I see, I don't know any Japanese, so I didn't make the connection. It may have been for dramatic effect, or something akin to that.
Edit: the way Pitou says it and the emotion conveyed makes it seem that Gon-san would have been able to harm the king to some degree, albeit he may not be as strong, although I don't think you were disputing this

Just got into this show; always thought it was a slice of life / friendship is forever with my pet frog type manga/anime. Pleasantly surprised it's a battle shonen; even more surprised/happy it's by Togashi Yoshihiro.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it thus far. As I had stated earlier, I initially didn't realize it was a battle shonen but instead was a slice of life/pokemon style anime. Once I got past the first 10 episodes and it started becoming more battle oriented I warmed up to it.
I think the battles and skill explanation (a staple of battle shonens) is well thought out for the most part. I'm not sure on the arc names, but I'm currently on the card battle arch. Presently I'm not enjoying it as much as the previous arc dealing with Phantom Troupe. As far as main character goes, at first I hated Gon but I've warmed up to him a little. I'm more interested in Killua though to be honest.
Pitou's gender is supposed to be ambiguous, but I believe the anime team stated they treated the character as female.
As a non-manga reader, when I first saw Pitou, I saw a woman. Even looks like s/he has breasts in the opening.
Pitou was made female in the anime, ambiguous in the manga.
Togashi never specified what its gender is even though he drew it to resemble a female.
just a name fans came up with I'm pretty sure.
