Ep. 125: Netero challenges the king with a promise to reveal his true name upon victory.
Aired on April 16, 2014
Netero persuades the king to engage in combat by promising to disclose his real name if he is defeated. The chairman then activates his most potent technique. Although he strikes the king repeatedly, Netero is only able to inflict minor scratches. This event occurs during the Chimera Ant arc, specifically episode 50 out of 61. The confrontation highlights the immense disparity in power between the two combatants, as the king withstands numerous attacks without significant injury. Netero's strategy relies on the psychological aspect of the name reveal, while his physical attacks prove largely ineffective against the king's durability.
