GenotreesThe Zodiacs are an organization consisting of twelve hunters, including the vice-chairman. Zodiac members have codes names based on Chinese zodiac signs and most of them decided to match their code names in appearance. Isaac Netero, who was the late chairman, appointed the original twelve members of the zodiac, while Cheadle Yorkshire, the 14th chairman, appointed the new two members. Counselors for the chairman, the Zodiacs are given missions by the chairman to accomplish. Members of the Zodiacs have high standing within the hunter association, and some of them are double and triple star hunters, but there are no specific requirements for membership. To be a member of the hunters association,
you must be chosen by the association's chairman.
Netero served as the hunter association's 12th chairman. Among the strongest characters in the anime, he is the only one who has fought Maha, the grandfather of Zeno from the Zoldyck family, and survived. When he was 46, he isolated himself in the mountains for training. He began punching ten thousand times a day. The first time he completed the set, it took him 18 hours. However, after he practiced for four years and trained hard, he completed it in less than an hour. The rest of the time was spent praying before Netero returned to the Dojo where he trained in the past to demonstrate his skill. The speed of the punch was astonishing. It has also been said that Netero is the strongest Nen user in the world.
