I propose his nen ability is foresight. Tserriednich already has shown us time manipulation us possible with nen.
Hunter x hunter is over.
>>288190143>coloured mangai propose that you are likely a brown phone reader
>>288190368No...
>>288190143>Ging's Nen ability is Shanks' HakiYou're welcome, little bro.
he's too cool to have just one ability. he wants to learn them all
his Hatsu is probably supportive/symbiotic given that all his major endeavours (Greed Island, excavation fund) required certain amount of people to succeedit also fits his asocial character as a restriction
>>288190143I propose the chapters release faster
>>288194509I actually think both Ging and Beyond will have group abilities. One theory I've held is that Beyond's power will be something like a group radio/tracking system so he can connect people together for some kind of telepathic communication. As well as see their current locations and even status. He's an explorer first who has meticulously assembled a team for decades, he wants to keep those assetts alive no matter what.
>>288190143His nen ability was already revealed to be Copy, speedreader-kun
>>288197667
>>288190143I think it would be neat and thematically fitting for Ging to have some incredibly underwhelming/simple Hatsu like being able to speak to animals, and his position in the Association came from pure skill as a Hunter
>>288197722so his ability is just imitating punching abilities?? what a retard, he probably abandoned gon because he was so ashamed
>>288197812It's not his ability at all. He's just talented.
>>288197812It's not an ability. It's just his high level understanding of nen
>>288190143I bet Ging's ability changes based on some outside factor he can't control l, because in his opinion it'd be boring to always have the same power. No evidence for this directly, but Kaito's crazy slots was Ging's idea
>>288197722This is so stupid.
>>288197942>>288197812>so his ability is just imitating punching abilities??Ging just has a really strong grasp of nen fundamentals and punching abilities tend to be Ko and/or emitted punches. Those aren't that complicated.
Gee Hisoka, how come Togashi let's you have TWO abilities
>>288195921They are not gonna have overlapping abilities unless Togashi is preparing for them to split into two factions once they arrive. Which admittedly would be cool.
>>288197954A high understanding about nen shouldn't let you just copy someone's else ability, no matter how simple they are.
>>288190143No way, that'd completely ruin his fun, Ging would hate that.Given his personality, this >>288197788 is more likely to be the case.
>>288197989>A high understanding about nen shouldn't let you just copy someone's else abilityWing in the very beginning said that it's possible to learn any other ability given enough time, talent, and training. Ging was going up against a bunch of soldiers that all have the same ability to shoot nen bullets for instance. But Ging shouldn't be able to copy a power like Hakoware which is a punching ability, because it has a conjuration component that's very complicated. Just projecting aura along a surface is something anyone can learn and shouldn't be hard to replicate. Think of it like how Biscuit was teaching Gon and Killua basic techniques like shaping aura into numbers or blast themselves off the ground. It's something anyone can do if they had the mind to do it.
>>288197989Why wouldn't it? That doesn't mean his ability would be on par, depending on his proficiency in that nen category.It's not like, for example, Gon and Killua were born with Jajanken or transmuting electricity. They just figured out a cool ability to use and started perfecting it.Ging is at such a high level that he can immediately grasp how other people came up with their abilities and imitates them, although this is probably limited to relatively simple abilities.I doubt he could, for example, copy Kurapika's or Chrollo's abilities because they require special conditions.
>>288198110He literally describe as "ANY" punching ability, so who the fuck knows what's the limit for it? Togashi loves his asspulls too, so I wouldn't put my hand on fire to assume it's just simple hatsu.
>>288198193>He literally describe as "ANY" punching ability,The translation posted says "generally" as a qualifier to that "any". It's clear in context that people copying abilities aren't the same as ability theft where the power is taken wholesale. And Leorio's power is still comparably simple and Togashi follows that statement up with having Ging use another aspect of nen he attributes to Leorio which is using aura like an ultrasound to ping his surroundings stealthily. In other words. Ging downloaded Leorio's concept of nen from that warp punch, and emulated it as it operated on simple principles.
>>288198259Well, yeah, and that generally could mean anything. Togashi has an awful history with asspulls, so I will keep skeptical about this "natural talent" until I see it's really something simple or not. Anyway, the concept in itself is upsetting because it kills individuality. Leorio's warping punch is nowhere near as generic as plain transmutation or nen bullets.
>>288197722>>288197667You're the speedreader. We don't know his ability yet. He's saying that he is so talented and skilled with nen that he can copy other people's punches without trying. This isn't his actual ability
>>288198370>and that generally could mean anythingIt can't by it's literal definition and within context. And I'm more than confident that Togashi won't asspull anything egregious with Ging here because as I stated originally; most punching abilities are either Ko or projected aura. The funkier ones easily exceed what Ging would be able to copy without having to commit memory space and more training. What you are doing is saying that emissions allowing the user to send aura through a medium to a target is so hard it makes it a restrictive Hatsu. Meanwhile Leorio who was the member of the main 4 who lagged the most behind the group does it. Ging shows how Leorio can do it for other purposes, and even Halkenburg utilizes this with how his arrow phases through surfaces to hit his desired target. >Anyway, the concept in itself is upsetting because it kills individualityBiscuit already establishes that there are principles of nen everyone should know and can learn. Emitted aura going through matter is probably some level 8 stuff in her curriculum. Since most other Emitters with a projected attack seem to favor damage so damaging the first thing their shots encounter is simpler and more efficient. But what Ging is doing is leveraging the mechanisms of how a power works as evidenced by something as simple as his pip play. He has incredible aura control, dexterity, and knowledge. Like how all those characters emitting a nen construct are using transmutation to give it form and definition. Or how everyone regardless of nen affinity are using enhancement to boost their body and tool's functionality. This was simply a showing of why Ging is regarded a top 5 nen user of his generation.
So what's the limit of strengthening an object with the use of Ten or Shu?I was considering how would picrel fit in HxH since his ability is to enhance any weapon he holds up to an hundredfold.His ace though is a katana that can cut space and time. Normaly it can't go further than a few centimeters and barely an instant back into the past or forward into the future, but with his power Mirror Lion he can send it minutes into the past, meters away from him, to change the outcome of a battle.Would his power be impressive?
>>288198629Kurapika's master talks a little bit about the limits of Conjured objects, I assume it's something similar with Enhancing tools
>>288198717Perhaps, we have seen paper cut people and soda cans, and shovels digging through bedrock like it was made of pudding. But we haven't seen the limites of Ten/Shu, or what distinguish two enhanced items clashing against one another
>>288190143His nen power is to suck dicks.
Seg with Masha
>>288190143dead series.
>>288190998>colored manga is LE BAD
>>288190143He gets physically stronger the further away he is from his offspring.
They have so much sexual tension. Do you think Ging is going to breed him?
>>288202771He'll be a beast on the Dark Continent
>>288202854just like leorio and pika, the new boar and rat members
>>288197989>A high understanding about nen shouldn't let you just copy someone's else abilityI don't see why not.The Enhancement class for example is mostly made up of very simple techniques. There's no reason why someone like Uvo for example would struggle with replicating Jajanken's Rock attack.Ging just takes this to an extreme because he can steal any punching ability, even one that's a little complex like Leorio's.
>>288202962Togashi really is the best, I completely forgot about that.
>>288202557It is.
>>288190143His Nen ability is giving Togashi back pains
>>288202524It will be alive when WSJ releases the chapters
>>288198370Leorio developed his ability for medicine, but it's not that personal to him. Becoming a doctor is personal, yes, but the ability itself is like a tool he came up with, it's not a big reflection of his soul or something.
>>288202557Most of the time they look like shit, just look at the digitally colored JoJo editions, they look horrible.
>>288198030Or maybe that's why he's so bored. He generally knows what will happen. Maybe not every detail.
>>288197905That's an interesting inference, you could also argue that we'd have known Ging understands nen fundamentals really well from how Greed Island is able to function. Although I think crazy slots factored Kite not wanting to kill, because it makes the decision for him. Ging seems like he prefers having a grip on what he's doing, which is why he gets so awkward after Gon's appearance.>>288195921Netero mentioned that the only challenge is survival on the dark continent, so I'd guess Ging would get far because he can improvise when he needs to, while Beyond will also make a lot of progress from meticulous planning. They could later end up serving as some kind of analogy about how to approach life
Is the Yu Yu Hakusho manga worth reading if I've watched the anime already?
>>288190143I always thought gings nen ability would be a group ability uniting ten or more of his friends and making them all super strong. Similar to morena or halkenburg. He unites his friends and boosts the power of their nen. His hatsu is a support ability and his power as a fighter comes from his mastery of nen fundamentals. Thats how he made greed island, its been a theory for a while and i think its on the money. Especially considering his talk with gon. Gings a weird antisocial dude but he is the biggest believer in the power of friendship in the whole manga, he even entrusted gons friends to save him after the chimera ant arc. >>288198030>>288198110>>288194509>>288195921I agree with all your points
>>288205581i read the manga some time after the binging the anime and i enjoyed it quite a bit. Theres quite a bit of stuff in the first and last chunks that the anime leaves out, and togashis art at its best has a certain style and appeal that no anime adaptation can really do justice.
>>288197988>They are not gonna have overlapping abilitiesBoth having some kind of group activated ability doesn't mean they will have overlapping abilities. Just look at the current arc where Morena has a group ability where everyone can individually work towards a mutual goal with her providing oversight and having some measure of oversight as to their activities. And then you have Halkenburg where he individually increases power but the current expression of his tattoos is a symbiotic attack that is the strongest in the series. On top of that Beyond having his cursed brands on his bastards shows that like Ging he also understands and has implemented at least one collaborative power to date (Ging has Greed Island).
Do you think the succession battle will have 13 of the princes die, or will there be an outside factor that ends it in some inconceivable way?
>>288206857Kurapika and chrollo both have the same goal of ending the succession war pre maturely. i think its likely one of them succeeds. I think the war will end with 3 or 4 of the princes alive but the infrastructure of kakin in complete ruin
>>288202854Ging bottoms
>>288206857i think pika is going to die
>>288207157Absolutely not, Ging is the one on the attack in those panels. Pariston however, is a power bottom.
>>288207297o my magic rice
what category's hatsu do you think is the most difficult for togashi to design.
>>288207571Transmutation.
>>288190143he has no nen ability because Enhancers don't need one.
>>288207157
>>288207716uvogin already did that
>>288207937and?he had big bang impact
>>288190143Who cares?We'll never know because this kusomanga will never end
>>288207895This is basically canon
>>288207895lmao
Is Morel's smoke real or transmuted?
>>288207895Correct, except Pariston was the mother.
>>288210016There's arguments for both sides. The real smoke side can cite that Peon chimera ants could see the smoke and that it apparently has a smell. The Transmuted smoke side can cite the wording of the later description of the smoke. Another argument for it being real is the claim that a manipulator would not use a 40% affinity for transmutation on top of emissions and manipulation. The counter for this is that transmutation isn't as hard in this context as some basic functions are used by Morel and his smoke is ultimately just a single form he could be granting his aura. We ultimately don't know.
>>288197989He's only copying the technique of the ability, if it has a restriction he probably can't use it, same if the ability is a Hatsu he's really inefficient in, or if the punch is part of a larger ability.
>>288208466>Who cares?>We'll never know because this kusomanga will never end
Is it pronounced like saar-ed-nick?
>>288210079Transmuted purely because we never see Morel ever have to light up his pipe nor is any actually tobacco ever seen in it. Plus he's was able to blow smoke out of it underwater which wouldn't make sense if it was real.
>>288210245I agree it's likely transmuted aura but I'm also not trying to run through the whole list of points in either sides favor.
Will she survive the arc?
>>288210245>>288210294It's conjured, not transmuted. That explains how the peons can see it and how it worked underwater.
Are we going yet, Hunterchads?
I Need Chi
ok but like, when are the new chapters supposed to be released? What the fuck is taking so long?
>>288197722>>288198521To be fair Togashi writing is so bad that it wouldn't matter, Ging could simply have 10 different abilities like Kulopika, because why not, it could also just be that but for some reason only that is enough to time travel somehow since Nen branches are irrelevant now.
>>288212028DQ7 reimagined came out
>>288190143Togashi needs to stop teasing the spiders death and just have hisoka down them.
>>288212243I legitimately don't understand how people play that snorefest of a franchise for hours on end.
>>288212162>since Nen branches are irrelevant now.What makes you think that?
>>288212744Probably thinking specialist is too OP
>>288212299Only patricians appreciate DQ sorry
>>288202995>wouldn’t pick up his calls>now glad he’s thereTsun bitch
>>288194509It's probably something like this and the restriction is that it only works on people that have accepted him out of their own free will without coercion/manipulation.That would also explain why he wanted to be Beyonds #2 so badly.Also Ging being a support type would be the kind of subversion that Togashi loves.
>>288190143And the condition to use that power is to be a bum?
>>288215523The condition to use that power is to take it in the ass from Pariston.
>>288215523The condition is to refuse every single person he ever cared about, hence being a deadbeat dad and a shitty friend to everybody he ever met.
netero hired zeno to help him split the royal guard from the king, right? does this mean that zeno could have fought along side with gon and killua against pitou if komugi wasn't there? would have zeno told gon and killua to fuck off and handle pitou all by himself or team up with them knowing how strong she is?
>>288191557>...
what the fuck is her problem?
>>288217067Wonder how horrified she will be when she listens to tserriednich's heart.
>>288217067You think the sonata of darkness will come up in the dark continent?
So the new conditions for Chrollo's bookmark are to explain all the abilities he will use in the fight? He basically told Hisoka all the abilities he will be using.
>>288217127I'm willing to bet that tserriednich will try to collect her arm when they eventually meet.>>288217208We'll probably find the origins there.
>>288210788probably not
Any guesses for how far we are through the arc? In the last batch anons were speculating that MARTIAL LAW was roughly the halfway point, like Chimera Ant's palace raid, but it seems like to me that there are too many plot threads to get resolved in that time.
>>288218240Halfway seems reasonable. As for plot threads, there aren't that many are there?>Spiders>Succession War>MorenaWith many details in them, sure. I just think that when the climax comes, it's gonna be quick because all characters are in one location, unlike idk ASOIAF.Ok that was my cope take. But I don't think we're less than 1/3rd of the way there.
>>288190143his ability is probably something insanely simple, like the spirit gun, but with even more restrictions
Ging is aiming for dark continent as part of a group and he insist on a commanding position, like his previous endeavours, so his abilities should accommodate thusly. He probably has small aura pool so he need the numbers
>>288216696I think the zoldycks stuck around in some way during palace invasion because Tsubone knew about Killuas light speed technique next arc
togashi should just give up.
>>288204166On reflection, I think Ging's power might be a combination of unknown+ group power >Ging can unite with a group of dedicated people around a single purpose >The more people they are, and the stronger their resolve, the more powerful Ging's ability is>Once they're united, Ging gains a new men power that's helpful towards achieving their shared purpose, and synergizes with some of the other members >However, he doesn't know what the ability will be beforehand That kinda thing would fit him perfectly
>>288220899WSJ should release the next chapters
>>288190143His nen ability is about getting mpreg.
is enhancer the best category?
>>288222965Emitter>Enhancer>Manipulator=Transmuter>Conjurer. Specialists could be anywhere depending on the power
>>288222965a lot of people seem to think soit has the most immediate and practical benefits both in and out of combat
I write character sheets for my original characters in this series. togashi make some content so i don't lose my mind.
>>288203732You're trying too hard.
>>288197788>>288198030Impossible. Hunters are required to be strong as fuck. Unless he's an enhancer his hatsu can't be something trivial or that couldn't be used to deal serious damage in a fight or something broken that can incapacitate an ennemy. Besides, Netero did say that Ging is one of the best when it comes to nen mastery
>>288218443don't forget- Silent Majority- Beyond Netero's children- Kaiser's manipulator(?)
>>288217208It's probably related to Hellbell, since bell is in the name and all.Might be that the original Sonata was created by transcribing the rattle of Hellbell.At least it would neatly tie in that loose end with one of the calamities.
>>288223078Why do so many fans consider conjuration the worst category when we've seen some of the strongest abilities come from that category?
>>288224745Lack of creativity
>>288224607Can't help, but think Beyond's kids are a red herring.
> excitedly tell my friends the manga is returning this earlier this year> already halfway through the year> they’re making fun of meTOGASHI! I CANNOT TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS HUMILIATION!
>>288224745it seems like it takes a lot of training to make something that is strong or useful only situationally, while an enhancer who spends the same amount of time training as a conjurer would get much more benefit from the physical enhancement
>>288224909They definitely won't all be revealed for the succession war arc, I agree. However, I do think we'll get more info from them that will keep them at the top of our mind for the dark continent where they'll most likely play a bigger role.
>>288217217I’m not sure if Chrollo needs to meet conditions to activate bookmark during the fight, or if he had previously met the conditions, presumably by getting a Skill Hunter upgrade through a national heist. Maybe it required both: (1) national heist for the option to upgrade and (2) selecting the upgrade with the appropriate restrictions or conditions.
>>288223078I feel that people overrate enhancers because we mostly see the absolutely broken ones like Gon, Uvogin and Netero.But guys like Gotoh, Gido or Kastro really aren't that impressive.Also enhancement doesn't tend to have any special properties on their hatsu, it's mostly ungabunga, which can be fine but if you're not stronger there's not much you can do.With other nen types it's much more matchup dependent and how you use your ability.
>>288207297Kurapika will die briefly by the judgement chain stabbing his heart but Leorio will save him from death with his nen ability. Kurapika enters a coma and Leorio goes to the DC to get his hands on nitro rice or some other cure.
>>288224745They're not BAD, just the least powerful. You can only summon a single object (or from a set of objects) and it has to be the same object every time, so the potential for growth is more limited compared to other categories. Your Enhancement facility is also poor which doesn't do you any favors. Also that ability you posted is very narrow, Saul Goodman can only make it work while he's on his clients' property. Conjuration works better as a support ability. >>288225177You can get more abstract with enhancement, just look at Dogman's insanely useful sense of smell or Netero enhancing the speed of his prayers. This is in addition to having a rock-solid offense and defense.
>>288197989>A high understanding about nen shouldn't let you just copy someone's else ability, no matter how simple they are.What if the first thing Ging did when he learned nen was to learn to enhance his brain?If he did that first, while continuing to master nen, he would create a feedback loop which would make his nen mastery scale exponentially.This is what most smart people would do.
Is this too broken?The Thread (Manipulation)Milluki establishes a coercive manipulation link with a target by implanting a physical or digital “seed” a crafted object the target willingly accepts, a data packet they open, a file they execute, or a piece of custom hardware they install. Once the seed is accepted, Milluki can issue motor commands to the target’s body from any distance. The target retains full consciousness and awareness, feeling their body move without their consent. They can see what they are doing, think and speak, but cannot resist the physical commands. Milluki can make them walk, speak pre-written phrases, operate equipment, or sit perfectly still for hours.condition: Milluki cannot puppet a target who has never accepted anything from him voluntarily.
live!
>>288225374>...BUT YOU CAN'T CONJURE SOMETHING OVERLY SUPER-NATURAL.Someone gotta explain that one to me. What counts as “overly supernatural”?Because shit like the granny turning herself into a motorcycle or a plane seems fitting. Or is it like you can’t conjure things that don’t exist without a real life model? Like you can’t summon aliens or a flying saucer if you haven’t seen a real one?
>>288223728Biscuit is incredibly strong, not an enhancer, and her hatsu is a literal joke.
>>288190143He probably has Spirit Gun. He looks like Yusuke, is going to the "other world" to visit his paternal ancestor and when telling Gon a story from his past he holds his hand up making a gun with his finger and looks down it like he's aiming to shoot.>>288197788>>288198030I was actually thinking just yesterday about how Hunter x Hunter is somewhat unique among battle shounen in that its power system is orthogonal to the occupation of the main characters. This is also true of One Piece, but Devil Fruits make sense for pirates, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but that's because it's bizarre. In other series, the characters are some kind of martial artists, so it makes sense for them to have magic kung fu. In Hunter x Hunter, the characters are hunters - rangers, bounty hunters, etc. - but the power system has nothing to do with survival or hunting, it's just magic kung fu (mental remix). While this is strange and is the reason the first arc goes by without a power system, it also allows characters who aren't hunters to be relevant to the plot, such as assassins, thieves and martial artists.For this reason, I think the Dark Continent is Togashi's way of putting the focus back on hunters. This is why it was important to him to have Netero go to the Dark Continent and leave unsatisfied. Netero is a martial artist. He admits that his son is more of a hunter than he is. Martial artists care about self-control and self-improvement, and testing their mettle against other people. In a world of giant monsters, poison swamps and magical man-eating plants, a martial artist just turns around and goes home. But hunters are all about navigating a dangerous world to track down and collect some treasure, or to master their environment in order to protect it from other hunters (as rangers did historically). They're all about being surrounded by beasts and plants and magic rocks - that's what makes the hunt fun!
kurta are nasty savages. the troupe did the world a favor.
>>288225111He had like 5 or 4 conditions he needed to meet to steal an ability. Now he needs new ones to use bookmark. I'm thinking he has to explain the abilities he will be using and what they do.
>>288197788he could have something related to restoring/locating ruins.
being one of the “five best Nen users in the world” probably does not mean top 5 strongest characters. i've seen so many people say it's the same thing, but we don't have indication that is true.
>>288207297For Leorio's character, Kurapika can't die for real. It's possible he'll be in critical condition or a coma during the Dark Continent and Leorio will have to find something that can save him.>>288207571Transmutation.Enhancement and Emission are easy for minor characters, just make them punch or aura blast enemies. Conjuration and Manipulation are easy for puzzle box enemies or arc allies, whatever tools or obstacles Togashi wants to have in the current arc, you can create most interesting abilities with these and readers will have trouble figuring out if they're balanced or not. Specialization is obviously easy since anything can be Specialization, even an ability that breaks the rules, but you can't have too many of them so he usually saves them for walking MacGuffins or major antagonists.Transmutation is caught in a weird middle area, but I think it's mostly in Togashi's head. If Nen was real, there'd be a ton of Transmuters with the same abilities. People making their aura sharp or hard or turning themselves into a giant amoeba with tentacle whips and stuff. Transmutation should be just as general as Emission, so there's no reason to come up with some super special unique interesting power for every Transmuter, but Togashi tries anyway and it results in Transmutation being the rarest Hatsu, when it should be third most common.At the very least, I think Vict's Tackle Shield is Transmutation (turn aura into a hard shield with a sharp spike on the front and ram it into your enemy). Longhi's Moonlight Act might be, too - there's no fucking way it's Manipulation.
>>288190143>Nen can not create anything that´s impossible for humans >Time manipulation nen Well, that´s awkward...
>>288229551specialists are snowflakes.
>>288210236This is a Japanese series and Japanese is a phonetic language, anon.>>288212028These charts are confusing, because there's a difference between the background specifications being done and the backgrounds being done. So there isn't a color indicating when the actual backgrounds and dialogue were implemented. Togashi draws the characters, inks them, writes the background specifications, then his assistants do the backgrounds, and then he/they/whoever adds the dialogue (this takes a day at most), and finally he goes over it with his editor so there's a gap in time between adding dialogue and sending it to WSJ.
>>288218240The people who think we're entering the palace raid are the same people who thought the arc would be over by now because they're retards. Manga fans are notoriously horrendous at predicting the trajectory of arcs. I've spent years watching anons fail at this over and over again and I've realized what the problem is: everyone always assumes the least path of resistance, a straight line from now to the conclusion. Anons didn't predict Borksen's subplot or drama breaking up the Troupe and Hinrigh because that's MORE stuff, and they always without question just assume nothing new will be added and we're heading straight for the finish line. I bet if you go back 25 years ago, you'll see most people predicting that the Chimera Ant Arc would be 50 chapters. When the King flew off and Colt surrendered to Morel and Knov, they must've been so fucking confused. What morons.This arc isn't ending before 520. It's a much more complicated arc than the Chimera Ant Arc and its chapter count will reflect that. Togashi has set up a two month long boat ride and multiple groups of people learning Nen, which takes time. There was no point to any of this buildup if shit just hits the fan now. Benjamin is dying here, martial law will be withdrawn and then the plot will continue with fewer participants.

You can create a great sword, but you can't create the GREATEST sword. You can't conjure a sword with the property "cuts through anything" - unless maybe it comes with an equally extreme cost, since we were also told you can't conjure something indestructible, but Potclean has never been harmed.
>>288221828Whatever it is, Togashi will dedicate an entire chapter to explain it.
so, how is togashi going to justify the troupe killing the kurta. you know he is.
>>288229850>I don't have the raws, but my assumption even back in the day was that he meant you can't conjure something SUPERLATIVEIn retrospect, this is the correct way to interpret it after we have seen Kite's ability but there was a decade where that line made conjuration seem trash
>>288229850>With a single ability. You can have multiple abilities, like Genthru, it's just further burden on your brain. But I don't think you can look at Tsubone's seven vehicles or Kurapika's five chains and go, "Yup, look at that lame-ass SINGLE ability."Pika cheats with his specialization, and Gensuru's abilities were designed to take out a large number of shit tier nen users at once(they were probably made specifically with his betrayal of the GI group in mind). With the exception of Kite, all the conjurers we've seen have been support, and even Kite needed an inconvenient restriction. Whereas other categories routinely have users with either valuable support abilities OR useful combat abilities; sometimes both. >>288230032Pariston/Sheila tricked the troupe into thinking the Kurta had killed her. Not that it justifies what the Troupe did.
>>288218240It's hard to say. I still suspect the climax will be a big conflagration, but that itself could take a long time depending on how Togashi decides to handle the action and how he decides to have plot threads intersect.Togashi's built in a bomb with Tserriednich. He can't drag his ass indefinitely without jeopardizing that tension, but as I already said the climax itself could be extensive. Just think about what the Troupe and Hisoka alone would warrant in terms of chapter count. There could easily be another 100 chapters without further complication.
>>288218240I think with the last volume we reached the point where Togashi has stopped adding new plot threads, and is starting to resolve them. I struggle to think of exactly when that occurred during the Chimera ants, but I think the last time a new piece was introduced was Bizeff, in chapter 250. That was approximately the halfway point of the arc but well before the climax of the palace invasion. There are significantly more plot threads this time so if I had to guess, I'd say we're maybe 40% of the way through the succession war arc.
>>288223728>Hunters are required to be strong as fuckThe average hunter is an absolute jobber. Hisoka slaughters them en mass.
Thoughts? it took me almost an hour to write. (Specialization)The Flavor Trace When Pickle eats a dish prepared by someone else, she experiences the strongest emotional memory embedded in that food. The memory is not a video it is a complete sensory snapshot of the moment the cook was thinking about while preparing the dish. She tastes their mood (grief tastes metallic, joy tastes rounded and warm, fear tastes sharp and cold). She does not see the cook's face or hear their words, but she feels exactly what they felt. The more complex the dish, the clearer the memory. A simple boiled egg carries only vague impressions. A seven course tasting menu carries the entire emotional arc of the chef's week.Terroir Recall By tasting a dish, Pickle can isolate the geographic origin of each primary ingredient based on the "soil memory" carried by the food. Soil from different regions has a distinct aura flavor volcanic soil tastes sharp and mineral, river-delta soil tastes dense and green, coastal soil tastes of salt and decay. She can identify the region, and sometimes the specific farm or supplier, of any ingredient that retains enough of its original character.Last Meal Echo By tasting food that was prepared or consumed by a specific person shortly before a significant event (their death, a disappearance, a crime), Pickle experiences a compressed version of that person's final moments not as a narrative, but as a sequence of physical sensations. She feels the temperature of the room they were in, the position of their body, the speed of their breathing. She does not see anything. She feels the shape of the space around them through their own sensory memory. This is her most exhausting and emotionally draining ability.
>>288229520>or turning themselves into a giant amoeba with tentacle whips and stuff.I feel called out. Since an OC I pitched in these threads was a nen user, transmutter/conjurer that could make tentacles out of her. Those tentacles, like an octopus, had also brains in there to increase her intellect and reaction time.
>>288229551>>Time manipulation nenIt's not time manipulation. It's a combination precognitive and illusory ability. Terror Sandwich sees the future and causes people to see the actions he foresaw while he himself is able to move and act as he pleases. There are lots of questions about specific limitations or aspects of the ability since it was only used against a single person in a locked room scenario but it's well within the boundaries of HxH abilities. Basically combining Neon Nostrade's divination with Melody's AOE illusion field.
>>288224915I think this one's on WSJ and not Togashiafaik Togashi handed over the chapters to them like 3 or 4 months ago
>>288229266You could say the same thing about Hisoka casually getting rid of spiders
>>288221828>men powerSTRONG MEN?
>>288190143>we have a bazillion chapters ready! That was almost a year ago, what the fuck is happening?
>>288231905I don't like when Togapi's twitter goes darkThere's a rumor that WSJ is requesting 20 chapters instead of the usual 10 though
>>288217208Do you guys think hxh Satan rly made it?
>>288190143Who is the authors favorite character.
>>288232050Worst case it was made by some entity from the Dark Continent making it an unofficial 6th calamity. Otherwise it's just someones fucked up nen ability.
>>288232073Probably Hisoka
>>288232104>>288232073Or well, I meant it's probably Hisoka if you're specifically talking about HxH - I have no idea who his Favorite Character would be if you're talking about stuff outside of HxH
>>288232073i think he said chrollo
>>288232073Tonpa
>>288232073Zepile.
>>288232723It was a dick move for Gon and Killua not to teach him Nen.
>>288232740And it was even more of a dick move for Killua to ruin the Hunter exam for him. Guy got shafted
>>288229850>I don't have the raws, but my assumption even back in the day was that he meant you can't conjure something SUPERLATIVE.

You can't conjure a sword with the property "cuts through anything" - unless maybe it comes with an equally extreme cost, since we were also told you can't conjure something indestructible, but Potclean has never been harmed.By you're understanding of the ability to conjure something like an extremely light, sharp, and durable sword, but it cannot be a sword that radiates an energy type or that can cut-through-gods or the fabric of reality.
Been re-reading and my dumb ass just realized something. If the chimera ants are a threat known to belong to the dark continent and they operate somewhat like the ants we know that means there are possibly thousands of kings feeding and fighting in a much stronger place. This means that the average food chain includes plenty of creatures capable of killing stronger versions of Meruem.How the fuck did anyone return? Beyond doesnt really look like he would be able to do half of what Netero did. Also how the fuck is Hellbell even a comparable threat lmao.
>>288224915could have sworn it was supposed to start after CSM+Modulo ended
>>288232960the ants that gon's group faced were stronger
>>288223728>>288230435Powerscaling hunters with IRL people is basically impossible. The Hunter Exam had people running for at least 80 km, this doesn't include the stairs portion which could have put it closer to 100 or more. For comparison a marathon is 40 km and the world record is two hours. This suggests that even the most basic hunter exam graduates have physical capacities that far exceed any real world athletes. Hunters like Hisoka and Ging basically monsters among monsters.
>>288190143Is this even worth discussing? This manga will never be finished and we will never know the answers to these things.
>>288212299japs enjoy seeing number go up and teenager kills god plots, we westoids wouldn't get it
>>288237487luv her
>>288230583very specific but also interesting, clearly useless in the scope of a story which involves fights but I like it a lot.
>>288224745If we're talking about damage output I'd say to date the strongest abilities so far have revolved around emissions, enhancement, and/or transmutation. If conjuration is involved (like with pain packer) it's purely support or highly restrictive like Bonolenov's battle Cantibles. Conjuration is versatile but highly conditional the more powerful you want. And it seems to have the most overall rules tacked onto creating abilities when interacting with other categories. The tradeoff seems to be that conjurers get the greatest access to new abilities and effects purely with conjuration such as>absorbing/exorcising aura>special abilities like dowsing chain>invincibility>enforcing rules in nen spaces>enforcing rules through nen constructs>housing other nen types at maximum potency (countdown explosion vs little flower explosion)>etcSo the ideal conjuration ability is used alongside other nen categories.
>>288207895>>288208674Yes.
What if an enhancer hatsu is to increase (or multiply the modifier) any nen contracts he makes with himself? A bit like how Gojo and Sukuna were doing and changing vows on the fly during their fight?
>>288238113That seems to be the principle behind the Untouchable's curse hatsu. Using strong emotions + time + proximity to enhance the overall strength of their ability when activated. I would assume the same was true for Gon-san; if he had fought Pitou a week after Kite's death it wouldn't have been as strong as having to stew in his emotions for a couple months before unleashing it.
>>288190368This. It doesn't matter. No one gives a shit. Press S to spit on Togashi'a sore back and call him a lazy faggot.
>>288238113>>288198370What if HxH had a fifth heroine (a ganguro) who could manipulate blood and specialized in Emission, while Leorio was a Conjurer?
>>288234623>>288237487>>288237566Old hags....
>>288231992>>288238344He should make Gon x Noko and Killua x Anita canon
is alluka only a specialist because of nanika?
It's so cool how conjurers practice by visualizing an object. Feeling it's weight, pretending it's really there, until it is.Try it irl, it's fun.
Rate my ability(Enhancement-Transmutation)Cock Shaper:When I shove an object into my asshole, my penis takes the form of the object.
>>288238898... are the future>>288240097isn't that how people make tulpas or whatever? seems kinda cool but also a good way to make yourself go insane
Nen Beasts are bootlegs of JJBA Stands and Shaman King Oversouls.
>>288240302Maybe.
>>288190143>Nen Ability: Milk Fetching
>>288240458hxh wouldn't exist without jojo.
