Why are they such jobbers?

The entire arc has no stakes

They aren't?

"Jobber" describes a character that loses for the sake of hyping up another character. None of the three royal guards do this.

If you think about it these 3 are way less scarier than they were hyped up to be. They faced 1 to 3 decent to great tier opponents and still couldn't win convincingly. Imagine if the hunter association sent 20 great hunters for these 3 bums. They would get overwhelmed and BTFO. Morel at 60% of his power could contain one of them.

They're not... Actually THAT powerful. Youpi is strong but very slow against any decent tier opponent with some conjurer or manipulator ability.
Pitou is absurdly fast but simplistic in her attacks which are too straightforward and direct. And Pouf presumably loses to any AoE.

Jobbers? None of them got defeated in a fair fight.

Pitou solo'd Kite, who was a pretty high up there among the hunters we've seen. She just got insanely unlucky that Gon was a little freak who wanted her dead.
Youpi beat Knuckle and Shoot, and held off assists from Killua, Morel, and Meleoron while doing it. He only doesn't kill Knuckle and Morel because he gained a sense of honor and respect for his opponents.
Pouf never gets outright beaten by anyone, at worst his clone is driven off by Killua.

They ARE that strong. The problem is that they're idiots and aren't hunters.

Is this entire thread retarded? They were so strong the hunter association had to develop an elaborate plan to defeat them while the guards were new to the world and were entering each battle blind

>None of the three royal guards do this.
Pitou literally does exactly that

>Jobbers? None of them got defeated in a fair fight.
nigger what? Gon-san made a mess out of pitou.

Youpi literally would have lost if Knuckle let Morel die and just kept repeating the hit and run strat.

>Youpi exploits a weakness that draws his enemy out of hiding
Not seeing how that's a loss for him considering Knuckle got bailed out by Killua earlier in the fight. He was getting absolutely dogpiled by everyone in the palace, pretty reasonable to try use their teammates against them.

I never saw her death as hyping Gon up.

Wrong, jobber means guy who doesn't win every fight you want to make fun of, you can thank the Dragonball ESLs for that.

Being defeated by the MCs super secret special technique in the final stages of an arc is the absolute opposite of jobbing.
The only jobber, in the correct sense of the term, here was Kite, somebody Gon regards as almost as a really great Hunter maybe even on par with his dad, getting killed by Pitou after the prelude of the chimera ant arc, establishing right away how freakishly strong the Royal Guard is compared to even the other ants.

>ITT another tiktok zoomer retard confuses the meaning of a term thats older than he is

blah blah bait . NEXT

The only jobbers in ant arc were Kite (to hype up Pitou) Knov (to hype up Pouf) and what's his face the bow guy from the hunter's exam, to hype up the average soldier ant. Of course this is all assuming you're using the term correctly and not "some one who doesn't have 100% win record" like ESL retards do.

People forget that of the three RG only Pitou had any real combat experience.
Youpi for instance flipped his shit and got worried after losing an eye to Shoot’s ability, getting hit with Knuckle’s ability, Killua’s lightning, etc.

But the palace invasion scenario shows just how much Youpi evolves as a fighter and a person in a single day. There is no human on Earth who could advance that much in 2-3 quick battles. Now imagine centaur Youpi with 1/4th as much combat experience as Knuckle or Morel, he’d be obscenely difficult to defeat

Ants lost because their weaker human enemies used strategy and underhanded tactics to bridge the power gap, and the ants weren’t experienced enough to counter it. Which is kinda the whole point of the arc by the way

>it took half the cast and most of the raid just to almost remove Youpi's nen, but he'd still be a monster shapeshifter with insane damage output
>Pitou was sidelined most of the arc healing Komugi, otherwise she'd have pained the floors with the blood of the rest of the cast including Gon
>Pouf died because of a biological agent unrelated to anything the MC did which also killed Meruem and Youpi
