      Your message surely is not "interesting", you self-proclaimed grammar nazi. Punctuation is important, don't go insulting people over their mistakes if you cannot even write a properly punctuated sentence. By the way, being aggressive about it while making a mistake of this scale just shows that you do not actually care about the language itself. All you want is to appear superior by pointing out the others' mistakes. Either that, or you truly love english and have some kind of anger issue. Anyway, try to be a little more polite, it goes a long way. People might actually listen to you as a result. I sure hope you will understand one day how wrong the path you're following is. Until then, farewell and best of luck.

      I think you just don't understand how transmutation works. It's adding whichever qualities you want to your aura. The most famous example of this is Hisoka's bubgee gum, which i' sure you've heard has the properties of both rubber and gum, meaning it can be strechy and sticky.
      However, somebody else may create a nen transmutation technique with the properties of rubber and gum that takes different aspects from these substances, like for example, having it be resistant to electricity to rubber or sweet / sour tasting like gum. It's about choosing which attributes you wish to take from sth and I don't even think you need an item. You can theoretically add any qualities that exist in nature and go crazy with it, like say creating a substance that is hard and fragmented like ice, but hot like fire or anything else.

      Not just Zeno but Gon Freeccs and Heavens-Arena-Transmuter have shown us that Transmutation is the 'Make Decisions about your Aura'-Type,
      which includes the things you mentioned and the ones i mentioned all the same.

      2. He most likely only uses it when he’s certain there will be no collateral damage, one example is using it on an enemy camp

    I'm making a manga with the protagonist having a n attack similar to zenos dragon head but the main difference is that it is smaller and is a projectile attack that works like throwing a kite at someone. I named this attack dragon kite and a smaller version of this is dragon shot with the dragon kite attack being shrunk to the size of a finger and dragon palm which is exactly what it sounds and is the attack that the main character uses the most and the biggest version of these attacks is dragon comet which is like the hadouken and kamehameha with a dragon instead of pure energy. There's also the fact that the dragon is much more detailed than zenos. It's also similar to the rasengan in terms of it being malleable to be applied with the elements. It is sort of a mix of things we've seen before but expressed differantly.

    most of hunter x hunter fans misread the fight between chrollo and the zoldycks, chrollo got his fortune written to him by neon few minutes before his encounter with the zoldycks, neon's fortunes tells you what's going to happen for the next few weeks depending the number of the verses there are in your fortune, with every phrase representing a week, so fate played a big role, if you still don't get it, his fight with the zoldycks weren't mentioned in his fortune meaning it wasn't going to pose a threat to his life due to fate, that is why he was fighting to steal and not fighting to kill, he was more than sure he wasn't gonna die but even so he still hired illumi to kill the 10 dons just in case the hire more assassins or keep tracking him and his troupe, so no he's not stronger than any of the zoldycks just because he was trying to steal and not kill.

    I’ve been following HxH for over 10 years now since I was in 6th grade. I’ve went over the nen system countless times. Rewatched the 2011 series several times. Read the manga twice. Etc etc.
    Zeno’s nen category being Transmuter has always confused me. Always. I can understand he’s a transmuter simply because he clearly isn’t any of the other categories. However, his “dragon” techniques being transmuter always baffled me. It’s just so different then the transmuter abilities we initially saw. The explanation in this video was the first time I could kinda get a grasp on it. His nen picks up the characteristics of a dragon, so essentially the destructive power & flight capabilities. That’s why I’ll go with from now on.

    I know Zeno is a transmuter and all, but his abilities are much more akin to emission to me. He emits aura and uses manipulation to give it the form of a dragon and control it's movements.
    It's not like his dragon aura imitates a real dragon because what would that even look like? what are even the properties of a dragon in HxH in the first place?
    On the other hand, when he used his dragon attacks against the ants or Chrollo, it was just like if they were attacked by a concentrated aura attack, no especial properties attached, similar to Razor's ball shaped, concentrated aura.

    • @VaquOfficial
      @VaquOfficial 2 года назад +2

      His attacks don't look like pure aura at all, they all take the shape of a dragon; that's something which can't be done without Transmutation or Manipulation, but why would he use his weakest category for that task instead of his natural category? Plus if it was Manipulation then his dragon would look more like an actual dragon, just like all the other Nen Beasts, but his dragon looks like pure aura shaped like a dragon. His aura does imitate the properties of a dragon, whether that relates only to the shape of the aura or also to its physical properties is unknown, but yeah, imitating the properties of a HxH dragon is nothing different to imitating the properties of any other animal

    I like to think that one of the zoldycs brought back dragon eggs from the dark continent and bred them, and that they always have at least a few at their estate at all tines

    Zeno is so cool man, the characters is HxH are amazingly written. Let us pray Togashi gets better

    what deems it official to break the 4th wall, because after Hisoka killed Bushidora, he "responds" to something Teradein says in episode 143

    Does anyone know how powerful his dragon head is? It looked like a brutally powerful and concentrated spell when he casted it for Meruem and Netero

    I like how there are so many people saying that Zeno and Killua are similar.

    i loved that scene in the anime when those assassins named their own codenames (all colours) and silva said "silva" nothing much unusual they though he meant the colour and then zeno just stated his own name... blew their mind

      The more i think about Chrolllo vs Zoldyck, the less it makes Sense. If Zeno and Chrollo and also Chrollo and Hisoka are the same Level, then why is Hisoka not after Zeno? And maybe even weirder:
      The more i think about Zenos Analysis of Chrollos Nen, the more i get confused. At first, identiyingthe fact that a Stealing-Ability needs 4-5 Restrictions sounds reasonable UNTIL you realize thats not how Restrictions work: Theyre not about Numbers, theyre about Strength. A single heavy Vow may outmatch the Strength given by a dozen small Resitrctions. And you dont need Restrictions at all: Zeno Himself has apparently, like Knov, only Skill used to perform his Hatsu, but apparently the magical Number 4-5 make sense here???

    Good to see the "Kokoriko" move in action by Zeno
