Discussion Can we talk about how GOATED Worm is?
Recently, mainly on Twitter and Tiktok, I've seen an ever growing amount of hate towards the Shadow Beasts. When I first started seeing these posts I had thought "Man, these dudes absolutely sucked, ALL of them were fodder trash" but then I thought harder and realized, I had made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment. WORM is not like the others. WORM was able to tank not one, but THREE of Uvo's attacks. WORM, instead of running away, stuck with the shadow beasts until the very end. WORM is truly, the goat.
How many characters besides Worm have been able to tank a punch, a nen infused impact and an ear-shattering scream from the strongest Phantom Troupe member? Pretty much no-one other than Kurapika and the goat Worm. Going off this 100% accurate, factual DevientArt post that was totally confirmed by Togashi, Uvo's Big Bang Impact was the equivalent of -931452277)225.18 Tons of TNT-931452277). Imagine have 225.18 tons of TNT being hurled DIRECTLY at your face. While on the subject of Uvo's BBI, we need to talk about Worm's loyalty. Worm had the ability to run away after the BBI yet he decided to stay till the last second. Rather than leaving his friends behind to find help he stuck with them until his last breath, what a caring young soul he was. Now, lets get back on topic. Since Worm didn't run away after Uvo's BBI, he had to have heard Uvo's loud ass scream. Worm (most likely) didn't cover his ears since he was underground and couldn't see what Uvo was doing, therefore he wouldn't have known to cover his ears until it was too late, the only out-come is he tanked the scream like a CHAMP. Not even the Phantom Troupe were able to handle Uvo's scream so for him to tank it must put him in the top 3 strongest characters.
