How the fuck is Nen a secret in the HxH world?
>>282710882The fights in Heaven's Arena are fake, you conspiratard. Smoke and mirrors.The fact that someone brought a bomb to a match was a tragedy, and pretending it was some kind of psychic magic is just insulting to the victims.
>>282710882Bad writing
>>282710882Same way siddhis are secret in ours.
>>282710882Dragon Shower and the Rammolt fight are bigger plotholes.
As soon as nen powers that give other people nen powers were introduced nen being a secret stopped making sense
bump
>>282710882HxH's setting is already pretty whimsical, so people can suspend their disbelief for events more than irl people can. You can say they're just magicians, Hisoka even identifies as such, maybe Chrollo is a master hypnotist and that's how he's making people do what he wants like blowing themselves up with grenades he sneaked in, all that matters is the average citizen has no idea on the exact mechanisms behind Nen.
>>282710882Magic is real and people still don't believe it exists.
>>282711763>>282711953>>282712123>>282713594Wait, I thought Hunter x Hunter was supposed to be one of the few well written shounen?
>>282710882The same way it's a secret in real life.
>>282710882It's the wresting of its universe but it's actually real but people just don't know
>>282710882The same reason astral projection is little known in our world.
>>282713964You thought it was but it actually isn't. Expectation subverted. Brilliant deconstruction. HxH does it again.
>>282711953I really don't understand how grandpa's dragon dive even is a plotholeYou can just explain this by Killua having heard of it during a family dinner and guessing it must have been that ability once he saw that in action.
>>282713964It is but shonenshit base level is so low that even the well written ones have stuff like this
>>282713964Being able to nitpick random bullshit does not invalidate the writing good enough to make you care to read said nitpicks.
>>282711953>Zeno takes Killua on an assassination mission with him>"Hey kid, wanna see my Dragon Dive?">instead of whipping out his dick like Killua expected, Zeno somehow caused a bunch of holes to appear in the ceiling>fastforward to chimera ant arc>Killua sees a bunch of dragons diving through the ceiling, making holes in it>puts 2 and 2 together
>>282710882Togashi is retarded
>>282710882It's not, Togashi changed his mind after Heaven's Arena. Just ignore the shit they said earlier and you'll enjoy the story better
>>282714415>>282715815exactly why is it suprising? It's like naruto recognising a jiraya technique
HxH's world building is really handwavey.
>>282714415>>282715815The real plothole with Dragon Dive is how that is Zeno's signature move, when he prides himself in never having killed an innocent bystander, when his signature move is easily dodged by any decently capable nen user, and literally all it accomplished was hitting an innocent bystander in the one scenario where hitting an innocent bystander is as unlikely as it gets. What kind of missions does Zeno take where using Dragon Dive would not lead to innocent casualties?
The Internet that we saw was also rather primitive, and people like Ging can completely censor themselves from being looked up at all, so chances are any mentions of Nen could also be censored. Or even if it’s explained, it could get lost in the sea of similar but fake things. If you don’t have someone to unlock it for you, it’ll take a lot of effort for most to do so by themselves, and who would spend at minimum months following some kooky instructions about Nen? It’s much easier to believe some people are born with special powers, when you live in a world with magical beasts.
>>282710882>hey man theres this secret power that a bunch of people use but its kept a secret from us normies >cool, how do i learn it >well you have to train for like 3 years and shit to learn the basics of it
>>282713964HxH is above average as far as shounen goes, but it has an insane cultish fanbase who greatly exaggerate the quality of their favorite Saturday morning cartoon.
>>282710882there's no rubber hens in Hybrid X Hearto.
>>282717156I never got this either. The only arcs that have any comparable “senses” to literature are the ant arc, and the succession war (which. Isn’t even finished, so it can devolve). The other arcs are just well written Shonen. It isn’t a bad thing, it’s imo it’s mostly amazing entertainment with depth, but not at the level of lit.Even though i prefer Hunter, there are seinen with more literature sensibilities.
