In _Hunter x Hunter_ , why didn't the hunter association airdrop a dozen of
Rose Bomb on the palace and called it a day when fighting against the ants?

The could have used the teleportation guy to drop a couple dozen of those
roses and _boom_ , they're all dead. And even if they're not, there's poison
to finish them off. That would've been so much easier than fighting them.

Also, it's not farfetched to assume that the hunter association has a special
distress signal to contact Ging. Call Ging. He snaps his fingers and _bam_ ,
all the ants drop dead.

hunter-x-hunter
If the Rose Bomb is so powerful and poisonous, why didn't the hunter association airdrop a dozen on the palace when fighting against the ants?


Netero wanted to settle the matter as a Hunter first, but implanted the bomb
within himself as a contingency plan. He went in personally and fought Meruem.
He lured Meruem away and fought him solo in the desert, when it was clear that
he could not win, he killed himself, triggering the bomb a safe distance away
from any casualties.

Also, HxH is a shounen series and they had to settle it the shounen way, with
a 1v1 fight.

They probably didn't want to bomb the entire palace since there were innocent
civilians who'd get caught in the crossfire. They also did believe that Pitou
could reverse he nen hold on Kite, and wanted Gon to settle things his way as
far as that was concerned. Netero is also a martial artist who wanted to push
himself to his limit and find out how strong Meruem truly was which maybe why
he only wanted a 1v1 with Meruem, probably also why he only took Zeno's help
in separating the ant king and not in killing him(Zeno would've rejected that
request anyways cause the Zoldycks are a smart bunch, relatively).

There's also a lot of inconsistency in the series to be fair, I mean, Meruem
could have easily guarded himself against the impact of the bomb had he used
his nen. He's literally the strongest creature on that land. He could've also
negated the effect of the poison when he realized it but they had to kill him
or Netero and everyone else present there would've deid in vain.

But as the other answer states, it is a shounen series and they had to settle
it in the old fashioned way. As to why Ging or anyone else wasn't called, it
was probably the only way the author could've extended the series. Almost all
of the last part with the new chairman election and Gon's condition would've
been completely removed from the series.

I just finished watching the fight between Netero and Meruem. I think the guys
on the phone with Netero threatened to sacrifice as many people as possible if
he didn’t accept to carry the bomb within himself. That way, they could put
the blame on the Hunter Association if any problem were to be faced.

Why Netero? He is the Hunter Association’s president, and people would think
he is the most powerful hunter. If it were to be discovered that they used
radioactivity, all that would have to be said is that they didn’t have a
choice...

Before dying, Netero told Meruem that there were no limits to human’s evilness
