One thing that we have always wondered is why Netero did not call the members of the Zodiacs to participate in the extermination of the Chimera Ants.
In this video, we have compiled four possible reasons as to why this may have been the case.
We hope you enjoy this video.

0:37 1. Who are the Zodiacs?
2:59 2. Why weren’t the Zodiacs called for the Chimera Ant extermination?
4:51 The second theory is “Morel and Knov’s Nen abilities were most optimal.”
5:39 The third theory is “Pariston was pulling some strings behind the scenes.”
7:17 The fourth and final theory is “Netero wanted to avoid the Zodiacs’ abilities from getting absorbed.”

It would of been cool but I don't think it would of made much of a difference. The strongest hunter was still netero and he could barely put a dent in Meruem. And the royal guard were all in another tier. I can see them fighting Squadron leaders and peons but that's about it.
They probably weren't cool enough looking for a military operation.
I agree that it's a little bit of all of these things which was a great foreshadowing of the multilayered geo-royal-political battle that would follow in the CE arc and ongoing manga arcs. The Chimera Ant rise whether accidental or engineered as some have theorized, definitely put Netero in a bad spot. There are some scenes of him in his office talking about how this is essentially a lose-lose situation and the Hunter Association is being used as a scape goat. So he almost certainly wanted to involve as few of the top echelon as possible to maintain the integrity of the Association no matter the outcome of the battle. There is no way he would not be planning (even if just due to old age) a time when he would be dead and the likes of Beyond and Pariston would wiggle out from under his thumb. If the entire association were decimated or irreparably crippled in a fight against the ants, nothing would stand in Beyond/Parison's way. While yes, for sure, he is a fighter at heart and gets fired up (in a less creepy way than Hisoka lol) to fight strong opponents, he did not run in there like a berserker. He definitely had a plan which included Knov and Morel to wipe out huge volumes of the non king, non royal guard ants before even getting to the King. I also have always wondered EXACTLY what Zeno was hired to do. Clearly to transport Netero in (NGL having no technology, it would be hard to just fly in on a plane). Clearly to do Dragon Dive since everyone was waiting for some sort of signal to start the palace invasion. But then what? Zeno is not a voyeur. Not even sure if we have ever seen him sit or eat at a job let alone just stand around to watch. But he walked into Komugi's room with Netero, a room where by all their intel was the place where likely the King was, and by all their intel, the King was a lethal killer. Surely there was a high chance that a fight would break out on sight. It seems out of character for Zeno to just walk into that kind of situation and start brawling without a contract to kill rather than fade into the shadows waiting… unless he was hired to fight too. So Netero may have decided to spare the Zodiacs but instead rely on the Zoldycks. Of course, we know that the unexpected existence of Komugi "changed everything" for so many, and after breaking his one main rule, Zeno lost his taste for this entire plan and left. Would his presence have allowed Netero to win? Who knows. Zeno, old as he is and less imbued with the slowed effects of aging as Netero, is good at support (such as when he just waited for opportunity in Silva vs Chrollo to deliver devasting blows while Silva did all the physical fighting). Netero did have Mereum's full attention with the 1000 Hand Bodhisattva so there is a possibility that Zeno may have had some opening(s) to capitalize on. Who knows. At least a better chance than Netero alone.
Either way, as always, so much to breakdown and layers to dissect in HxH. Gotta love Togashi's brain power. Good to see more HxH content 🙂
Two reasons confirmed in the show: 1. He's old and always wanted to die in battle against a strong opponent
2. He didn't want to risk the zodiacs' lives, bc they are his successors for dealing with the dark continent's danger
There are various of reasons. One is that netero's team is actually nothing more then a extermination team, Not humanies last hope. and they have been provided with little resources and man power because humans never saw the ants as a world ending threat, so much even so that when morel tried to call for back up Pariston thought it would be funny to troll them
The writing in hxh is too realistic in this sense. We got a 70 episodes intense arc about saving the world but at the same time it was nothing severe.The whole world sees this as nothing more then a mission the chairman sadly died in. And the world doesnt see gon and killua as world saving heroes, they see them as nothing more then 2 brats who went on a mission. cant name any anime who does this
It seems to me that the author has clearly indicated throughout that whole arc that raw power isnt entirely relevant in every situation. It's all about countering your enemy and taking advantage of openings when they arrive and even hoping that they will, or else you will lose/die no matter how strong or op you may be. A lot of whether or not you succeed in hunterxhunter is how well do you utilize your ability, how well do you know your role and do you know how/when to engage and disengage.
Bc the Vice president was making sure all of his request were blocked, it's stated in the manga and the anime
They are not strong enough to deal with the ants. Assimilation and the loss of important hunter skills necessary for maintaining order were at risk. Even Feitan struggled against Zazan. It was said that the zodiacs were Netero’s sparring partners. Given that info, him going alone with Knov and Morel in tow suggests that he knows exactly what he was doing, like duh. Hisoka ranked the zodiacs lower than Illumi and Illumi is supposed to be just 5 points below Hisoka and Netero would have murdered Hisoka before he even knew it.
Its definitely the first one. Based on everything we know of his personality.
Dude is like…. straight up blue and orange morality, with his own unique code that I'd rarely call noble. He is very much interested in testing his limits. Dude is like an old goku.
I can see the fourth one, but it would have NEVER been his primary aim. Dude can be pragmatic but doesn't seem to be consistent about it. Self interest. The hunter way it seems.
Why? Cause he wanted the challenge all to himself
lets go with the easy anime answer, if they teams up with the zodics it probably wouldnt of been an arc and just a few episodes, kills the point of an arc if its 3 episodes
Because togashi forgot
Netero did dat for the plot
They would have all died without question…
Honestly bro, if none of the zodiacs have an attack/can move as fast as Netero’s Guanyin Bodhisattva, it really would’ve been a reverse extermination. Meruem would’ve ate the Zodiacs mid fight to gain Nen and strength
InB4 shippers
The reason he didn’t ask for their help is probably the same reason why he created the zodiac to begin with. Their abilities are necessary to explore the dark continent and he wouldn’t risk it.
cuz netero is like hisoka always want to fight strong opponent
What is the intro song?
Netero wanted all the smoke
nice
Answer is 3rd theory but nice vid.
Fuck the zodiaks
Screen shot this, the zodicks are just being hyped up like fattening a hog for the slaughter. They are fodder to chrollo and hisoka ♤♧
I think he wanted to die in a battle. Honestly I think Gon's dad would have been able to beat all of them except for possibly mermeum.
because mereum would body all of them
i wasn't aware alluka was a zodiac, incredible seeing as shes a 12 year old who doesn't know what nen is
I think the most likely in-universe reason is, Netero suspected he would lose, since Code already told him he was weaker than Merruem, and that he would trigger the nuclear device. As the Zodiacs were weaker than him, there was no need for the Zodiacs to go and sacrifice themselves.
He didn’t want them to now fear potential creatures as the only threat to humanity. He needs them to fend against human threats
Before I watch the video I'm going to give my answer/theory. He is selfish and wanted a strong enemy all to himself.
Because togashi hadn't invented them by that time 😂😂😂
This drove me crazy the first time I watched Hunter Hunter, the whole time me and my brother were like, 'where the fuck are the other hunters?!' 😂
