Hunter x Hunter fans compare Record of Ragnarök character
Netero was a strong-willed character that never hesitated to draw out his full potential when faced with adversity. Unfortunately, his time in the manga and anime was short-lived as he died while battling Mereum.
Nonetheless, Hunter X Hunter fans still remember him and it did not take long for people to point out the resemblance between Zeus from Record of Ragnarök and Netero.
Fans noticed that Zeus’s build, mustache, and facial features looked a lot like Netero, just a bit older. This does not come as a surprise as Netero is supposed to be 120+ years old while Zeus is over 13.8 billion years old.
