According to Shaiapouf - but this is undoubtedly true - a Nen puppet cannot be stronger than the ability user (rather, its power is usually many times weaker). Now, Hyakushiki Kannon is a Nen puppet: it is made out of emitted Nen and manipulated, just like every other Nen puppet. We all have seen how strong and fast its blows are, just think of "The One Hand" and you'll get the picture. So the point is: is Netero as strong as the statue?

I think so. Since the statue follows Netero's motions, he has to be roughly as fast as its hands are. Sure, the statue is strengthened by at least two limitations I can think of (it is entirely dependent on Netero's movements and he needs to pray between attacks), but since Netero is an Enhancer, and formerly the best Nen user in the world, a Ko punch from him would probably be stronger than Uvogin's Big Bang Punch, by a good margin. Even in his old age, he probably retains a similar level of strength.

At this point the question would be, if he is as strong as Hyakushiki Kannon, why use it? For range. The statue allows him to strike far away from the enemy, inflicting damage without risking being injured. Against the king, it makes perfectly sense.

What do you think? Should we even mention the "puppets are weaker than originals" thing on his page?
