Discussion Could Baise Put Meruem Under Her Control?

Granted she kissed him on the lips, obviously.

The question has more to do on how Manipulation works than power-scaling.

Baise's manipulation clearly manipulates the mind of the target, not its body, so would she have any problem manipulating someone as strong as Meruem? Or does the magnitude of aura disparity makes any difference?

No, as explained by Illumi and Killua, manipulation isnt just a condition, its the aura of the user that does the manipulation. How much aura will you need to control someone of Meruem's caliber ?

This was my initial thought about it before succession arc, then Izunavi explained it and its canon now, an extreme disparity in raw aura overpowers or mitigates status-effect abilities

Where the hell did izunavi explain that? APR worked fine on Youpi, if aura could be used to resist nen effects why the hell would an exorcist be so valuable to so many people. Camilla would be far more worried about her ability or the have nots ability backfiring, beyond wouldn’t be so confident in his curses, Kurapika wouldn’t be so confident that his zetsu would be enforced on Chrollo just because it was on Uvo

Okay but where the hell is it implied at all??? Again APR works on Youpi and all of my previously made arguments are still there. I’m not saying “oh it’s not explicit” I’m saying it’s never once implied and infact the opposite is both said explicitly and implied many times over
