@@oxcare5 Although you might be correct I think I heard him say it once: "Bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum" could've misheard him though...
i never understood that... he legit tried to hurt netero and couldnt... he also admitted that he would never be able to take the ball. he has undeniable proof that netero is just stronger and faster while not even trying but he says he could kill him????
@@snowman9631 I think he was thinking he could kill netero if he went straight for the kill, like his hand hardening thing. Obviously we know netero would obliterate killua, but Killua didn't know that at the time
It was a mistranslation. He actually says if he keeps going he'd want the ball enough to kill for it, he never actually said he could kill netero. He was more of thinking about how he wanted to stop his killing habits since he doesn't want to become an assassin anymore.
@@scarykurapika100yago2 whats more terrifying was that meruem. That monster. Wasn't even the strongest in the dark continent.... 🙂. Maybe if he mastered nen. No not maybe. Of course. But he didn't
This list shows a lot of what hxh is about...how we have the number 20 spot beating the number 1 spot, and we have gon and killua never even being mentioned despite being the main characters for most the series. Hxh is nothing if not brilliant!
@@AndrewManook he says he’s close to tapping in his power, but it still wasnt his full power, so it wasnt prime, but regardless, prime Netero would get shit on
@@talpho3301 In part it is. It's not the power levels in itself, it's the subversion of expectation. HxH is a shonen deconstruction and this is part of it.
Early HxH: to conjure something or transmute into something you must know that thing very well, you actually need to taste stuff like chains to know them better, or be exposed to insane amounts of electricity to transmute your aura into it. Late HxH: THE PLANET JUPITER!!!
To conjure stuff you need a clear image in your mind and be very meticulous about it, you don't need to taste it. Transmutation is when you need to be exposed to and interact with a medium.
@@TrueReverse74 I'm using the planet jupiter just as an example. HxH has a bunch of examples stuff that are very hard if not impossible to replicate and to understand. Early on they present it as something extremely hard, Killua is seen as a weirdo becausehe has been so exposed to electricity he can transmute his aura into it. Meanwhile Kurapika explained in detail how much he studied chains, physically touching and interacting with them to pull the conjuring. Later on, conjurees and transmuters can just pull impossible stuff like planets and the literal Sun, which is impossible to be exposed to, and therefore they couldn't possibly make a real mental image of their composition.
This is true for 99.9% of nen users, they need to be extremely profficient with their abilities and know exactly how to conjure it and spend years training to do it, this however, does not hold true for the elite nen users of this series, who are so insanely genius when it comes to nen that they do not even require it. That's my interpretation of it.
@@OtakuJuanma2 you may not be able to expose yourself to the sun in a way that's physically possible but you can be used to the suns rays being excruciatingly painful like standing out in the middle of the desert at noon or being in the hxh equivalent of Arizona. As for the jupiter thing it's entirely possible than bonolenov just studied up on the planet jupiter a whole bunch, it's not like we know how much space travel the world of hxh has been so maybe he studied a book and went to imagine have some imagine training with weights on or something. It's entirely possible it's just the appearance of Jupiter instead of it being a planet. Killua was seen as weird because to expose yourself to electricity enough that it COULD be a nen ability is insane. Tl:dr: I just meant that conjuration is more imagery than exposure and transmutation is the reverse. And I mainly responded like this because I don't think kurapika had to bite a chain.
Idk about bonolenov but feitan summoning the sun isnt his only ability i believe. Pain packer just turns any pain done on him back to his opponents and we don't even know what happens if he dies an excruciating death. He could have multiple different attacks
The fact that silva jumped off of a dragon's back above the clouds like an owl not making a sound hiding his aura from being noticed by an ant/cheetah's super enhanced senses to activate his nen in 0.1 seconds to crush cheetu is a super feat and the epitomy of mastery.
@@charleschiemekaekeogu6908 who said what ?, uvogin was only using enhancement techniques to decimate 4 of above average nen users with different nen types, mastering your nen type is enough to put you at the top, silva so far uses 2 categories, transmutation and emission in addition to his impressive physical feats and aura mastery, the guy's physical feats compares to that of a master enhancer, and above all that he is immune to poison .
I really like Knov charactor, He have a deeply knowledge about his ability and use it effectively. I'm sad that he's got so scared in the chimera arc and .... lost himself
To be fair she does look kinda cute just definitely not in the traditional sense, isn't hot in the traditional sense and she's canonically ugly. But i really like her design
U know one of the biggest plot holes is that when Gon and Killua first learned nen, Killua said he had never heard of nen. There’s no way that’s true considering who his family is. Additionally he recognized his grandfather’s dragon dive when they were at the ant castle and Killua had to have seen that before the series started.
The reason is Togashi hadn´t create Nen as powersystem in the first arc. Thats also the reason why Killua had special abilitys like making is hand in a "claw" or rythm echo which are not nen.
I think what guy says above^ is correct but u make a very good point the comment about his grandpas move def made it seem like hes always been able to see nen
Pretty sure he recognized his aura and discerned it was his grandfather's ability. Each person's aura is unique and the aura of someone you've been around may be easily identifiable. Perhaps he had heard about certain techniques without understanding. Killua is a pretty sharp guy. It is quite possible he has heard about the technique in a conversation between his father and grandfather, this was his "oh that is what he meant." moment.
Even without nen you can feel ominous aura Like when killua was fighting zushi it reminded him of his brother but he could not make sense of it at the time until he learned nen.
@@rocktleague6295 Kurapika is a natural conjurer but his scarlet eyes turn him into a specialist (a feat no other character is capable of)... While chrollo is a natural specialist, so nothing special there.
I am happy that you added Razor to this list, he really seemed like an overwhelming powerhouse in the Greed Island arc. On par with some of the best nen users in the serious, only being eclipsed by the absolute monsters such as Meruem, Royal Guards, Ging and Netero. I really wish we saw more of him, or that he'll pop back up in the story at a later date.
My theory for hisoka is that him explaining bungee gum's properties to people is a multiplicative aura modifier. Usually explaining a hatsu, especially to opponents, is a death sentence. Because Hisoka's is so straightforward, he doesn't really risk anyone explaining it to anyone, since it's deadly power comes from his devilish level of creativity. It also has a cool theming with his magician archetype, in that he's basically saying something along the lines of "nothing up my sleeves". He has essentially used human psychology and misdirection to turn what would be a huge restriction for most abilities into a strength.
@@juliandavidhoffer2022 Only because of how the fights are written. Not a lot of characters with complex powers are put up against characters with raw power.
@@maxdrags3115 No, the point is just being a nen master doesn’t mean you are stronger than those who haven’t mastered nen. If your opponent is just a ball of overwhelming talent, no amount of mastery can save you. Some matchups allow for both weaker and less efficient nen users to win, of course, but that’s not what mastery is referring to.
I think the flaw in your measurement lies in the fact that each stat is capped at 25, especially in the case of Meruem's aura which should probably be off the charts compared to the others on the list. Or conversely, if Meruem's aura is at a 25, I feel like noone else should even be hitting 15 if we go by linear measurements.
I think the only reason that he didn't give bonus points to Meruem was because he was trying to stress the idea that just because you have a lot of Aura doesn't mean you are a good nen user. I do agree that the chart is flawed in that way, but I do think that's the reason why.
From 25 and on, any extra amount of aura doesn't make a difference anymore. So the 'extra value' of having more aura than Pitou or Zef becomes much lower compared to the mathematical value of +x points on this scale.
@@Qwer1610 Not sure I agree that any Aura beyond 25 yields diminishing returns, at least not when it comes to Meruem. He basically tanked the Zero hand with his immense aura alone and came out with superficial scratches. I doubt Youpi and Pitou (who both score 25 on aura here) combined into a single being would have enough aura to achieve the same tanking feat. Then again, I am a Meruem fanboy so I may be grossly overestimating him.
@@concept007 is alluka's ability classified as nen though? in the manga it is said that alluka/nanika is from the dark continent, and is therefore considered more of a biological factor? (lmao if im wrong though just let me know, always down to learn something new!)
This is why I love HxH so much, you can be the top dog in every field but others lower than u can give you a run for your money. Also I absolutely love the diversity in the fields of abilities and the versatility of nen, from the most diverse like deep purple and scream to something silly like conjuring a clown
I think Meruem should have gotten more aura points. Or at least some bonus points for his ability to consume other people's aura and add it to his own.
@@SasukeUchiha-vb2vy @horn @okdok gg you guys are missing the point, that its not about how much aura they have, but how they make use of their aura, and in that way he decided and made the list
I'd bump up Bisky a bit more in the bonus category - we've seen Gon access a similar transformation with his ultimate binding vow, but Bisky doesn't use super-Enhancement to access her muscle form. In fact, it's explicitly stated to be the opposite, with her JoJo's-esque form being her _actual_ body and her childlike form being her transformed state. That makes it even more impressive, since she's not just fueling Enhancement with raw desire to become larger, but doing something else _entirely_ to somehow become _smaller_
@@nabilzulkepli5745Idk, she said herself it came after years of intense focus. So I don't think its as free to be manipulated as something like Illumis needle.
It was said gon did the exact opposite of bisky and their powers and nothing alike. Gon gained an immense amount of aura and aged himself like 3 decades. Bisky merely undoes her transformation and goes back to normal
I have a theory and suspicion that one reason why Razor is so powerful is due to a restriction he may have put on himself. That being that his powers only work on Greed Island. That would make sense, considering how he likely doesn't ever plan to leave Greed Island, so as a permanent resident, making such a nen vow/restriction in exchange for more power would make a lot of sense.
I think something similar probably applies to all the active administrators: basically I've been considering the game as a shared ability between them which likely breaks all sorts of "rules" of nen and likely functions more in the general realm of "genius" abilities. what abilities and even baseline power they have functioning as part of the game may be almost completely different than anything outside of it...though I kinda doubt their nature differs much since Ging's most consistently displayed and impressive ability has always been his ability to read people and pick out the right person/people to fulfill a role he wants done, uncertain if this is before or after nen or unrelated. ...conversely they could all quite believably be _completely_ different from their greed island personas working from the idea that Ging might have picked a bunch of people trying to escape from themselves to make their own little corner of reality into an imaginary world.
13:45 yeah, pouf being the highest chimera ant on this list makes perfect sense to me. he was so proficient with nen and aura usage, he was specially crafting abilities for all of the lesser ants.
You forgot Pitou's third Hatsu-Puppeteering. It's legit able to manipulate tons of people at the same time and is able to make them use nen even if they weren't able to when they were alive and it has pretty much unlimited range, how the f did pitou got outranked by illumi ? his entire existence is like a budget version of Puppeteering, not to even mention the post mortem nen and effective usage of doctor Blythe while in combat.
Not really since pitous puppets can speak, use nen, and are capable of fighting, I have never seen illumis puppet outperform the broken kite puppet and he was only 1 out of 50+ that were being controlled at the same time and badly damaged.
@@heibk-2019 illumi might look better at first glance but that's only because he mainly used his ability against people who couldn't even use nen,pitou with puppeteer was able to conquer an entire country and was able to hold back the extermination team for 10+ days from invading the palace so yeah i don't think that they are even comparable, don't forget that we couldn't even tell the difference between the dead body being manipulated by pitou and the real deal on top of that they were capable of speech and even using nen, now add up to this the fact that she can literally manipulate an entire army at the same time should completely give pitou the edge over any manipulator we have seen in hxh so far
One of my favorite things about this story is that despite all the emphasis placed on Nen, it's a fucking atom bomb that ends the most catastrophic being to intrude on the human world.
@@emojest18 I thought it was implied that it was radiation poisoning? Like, being at the center of a nuclear bomb, especially one so powerful, the radiation there would kill anything eventually - no amount of nen healing would get through it because it would stay with you, rotting you away, and radiation transfers to people around you if you've been heavily exposed so it literally does transfer to people around you and poisons and kills them as well. They just call it "poison" in the translation but I always assumed it was just radiation poisoning. It even kills people in the same way as normal radiation.
@@emojest18 you said it wasn't simple an atom bomb because it is also poisonous. Real life atom bombs are also "poisonous". The bomb in hxh was a normal atom bomb apart from the rose shape cloud
It's funny how number 20 almost beat number 1. Edit: I don't get it. How Is Meruem a bad nen user? He had a widespan of En, He probably used a balanced amount of Ryu offensively and defensively when attavking netero continously, He controlled youpi's Hatsu perfectly. How is he a bad nen user?
@@dynamite_dynamite5954 "It wasn't even close," my guy it took Netero to kill himself in order to defeat Meruem, and not technically Netero didn't defeat Meruem as it was the bomb implanted inside him that did it. Meruem had brought Netero to the point where he needed to kill himself, and Meruem was stated to not be fighting with an intent to kill, therefore he was more careful with his attacks, he just wanted to know his name.
@@dynamite_dynamite5954 bruh, did you even watch their fight? Netero was turn in to a pulp and meruem was still alive and kicking, heck he was even giving his respect to the old man. "Not even close" my ass
I mean, Kurapika certainly doesn't have the highest aura, but certainly he does not slack off in the area, he made Uvogin, one of the strongest Enhancer in action on the show to say that Kurapika's chains have an "Abnormal" quantity of Nen, at the point that Kurapika made him to avoid any of his attacks with the chains instead of trying to tank them like he did with everything and everyone before the fight with Kurapika. So it is an indicator that Kurapika's aura is pretty much formidable at least.
I mean...that's why he got a rating of 17 no? Kurapika is no slouch for sure, but his super-powerful abilities are specifically geared for spiders only. Where against a Spider he's probably around Chrollo's level but against literally anyone else would severely struggle against the weaker members of the spider to flat out loosing. I'd say his score of 17 fits very well when you account everything else that he wins by pure skill and prep time.
I would put Pouf even higher on versatility then 23. I would, in fact, say he should get a perfect versatility score. His abilities provide both immense defensive capabilities, great utility and numerus offensive strategies, which combined with his intelligence and strategic mind makes him infinitly versatile. I don't think he would have lost to Adult Gon the way Pitou did, for example, not because of efficiency but because of versatility. Defeating him with nothing but brawn would be almost impossible.
What offensive capabilities does he have tho? he only has defence hypnosis and is able to split himself. Pitou would have killed morel in a couple of seconds. Pouf had to split himself to escape smokey jail
Honestly, I'm even to willingly go far as to say he could be the most strongest of the 3. Nen hacks are too strong and are king in the HxH world. Only exception to this fact was Mereum through sheer amount of Nen gifted to him, and even then Gon was able to achieve his strength (albeit by sacrificing everything). Imagine if Netero made the same death pact/sacrifice how much far stronger he would be. One of the biggest plot holes in HxH is that due to ability to sacrifice/restrict oneself for powerups- is that anyone can actually be insidiously stupidly strong if given the most extreme and dumbest condition. Gon could actually be further even more powerful than Mereum if he added to his sacrifice the restriction he will only have this powerup versus against Pitou specifically. So that would've essentially made Gon the strongest in the verse in that form undeniably (before it was debatable if Gon=Mereum, Mereum>Gon or even Gon>Mereum) but adding this restriction just ensures it's Gon>>>Mereum. Really begs the question if the nuke by Netero was even needed if he can just go "Lul, imma suicide myself- nen deus ex machina gimme a power up!".
There's a recurring explanation about that, the ants are well aware of the capabilities of nen which includes that they don't know if aura will disappear or be stronger upon death. If he killed Morel on the spot, he would have to risk being in smoky jail forever. We don't know the restrictions of smoky jail. Since morel was pretty confident it can withhold Pouf who has tremendously larger aura than him, I think it's safe to say that killing him was the wrong move. He escaped and tricked him very very intelligently.
The only questionable aspect of this scoring system is that the ants would realistically be like 40+ if actually scaled to the humans rather than just given a perfect score, but I get it, the focus is more about how they use it.
Ok, I don't normally do this, but I have to write a comment on Meruem before going forward. One of the most complex and difficult techniques to master in the show is En. Meruem has showed that he can instinctively use En to an exent that isn't even worth comparing other characters to. That is not just a display of his aura quantity, because En depends solely on Nen mastery, as Youpi couldn't even use it. That alone, should have ranked him way higher on mastery.
Something to mention of course re: Razor is that a lot of the nen burden may be taken off his direct shoulders, as instead a lot of Greed Island's abilities also only work on Greed Island. For all we know, it ultimately doesn't cost Razor anything at all, aside from possibly being stuck on the very island himself. But who knows?
In the Japanese when Ging says he can generally copy someone's ability when he gets hit by it, there is more to it the English translation doesn't capture. He basically says he can deduce a person's frame of mind, and inference what led them to the creation of the ability, and from that knowledge he can improve their abilities as well. Based on that Ging should be close to impossible to actually fight unless you can straight up kill him without him resisting you.
considering hes survived alone on the dark continent for extended periods of time, I really don't think there is any human so far that can just flat out kill him. Ging is basically an adult Gon with better mastery.
@@EGreeneConversationsI'm not trying to argue with you but I thought no one other than beyond had been to the dark continent in the main series? I thought Gings knowledge of the continent came from the book series by Don.
@@higharchbishopofteatasting6217 youre partly correct, but Ging has been to the dark continent as well. He survived for a number of years on his own there but from what i remember, he hasn't been able to explore all that much because of the level of danger there.
Netero's Bodhisattva was the most powerful ability of netero (not the only ability) as said by zeno , he is a master of nen and may have had many other hatsu ,I don't think he always fought others with such a giant statue which takes such an amount of space
I'm kind of interested to know where Killua ranked here. I think he is often underestimated (even by those who recognize he is a genius). He is repeatedly and overtly noted to have exceptional aura control throughout the entire show. So I think that would play in to the "efficiency" section very well. Uses exactly what he needs and when he needs it. Efficiency is also well demonstrated all the time with the sharp precision of any of his abilities, nen or otherwise (his claw hand thing and his rhythym walk... unless those are nen too and he didnt know it... also show pin point efficiency). Versatility is interesting to ponder. Electricity itself is already quite versatile (offense, defense, speed, reflexes, etc) but similar to people like Hisoka, Kurapika, Chrollo, it's really his tremendous intelligence and thoughtful nature that maximize the use of his abilities. I personally place his analytical abilities above Kurapika's but that's just me maybe. He just doesnt walk into plots that require him demonstrating this as much so it is not as obvious as Kurapika. But determining to nearly 100% accuracy the existence of Komugi and her significance just with the knowledge that Pitou's En disappeared is quite exceptional deduction. Raw amount of aura... that's where most people assume he would be weak in. He may be. But I don't really know. He is ALWAYS holding back. Sometimes by nature, sometimes intentionally (assassin's are not supposed to be flashy people, he is a quiet introspective boy, he had a needle in his head, he deliberately holds back so that he does not get too far ahead of Gon, etc). So we never really know exactly what he can do at max. Though running at god speed for long distances is pretty impressive - seems like the main thing limiting its use is not his aura reserve but the electricity he can store in his body. Hisoka's assessment of him I think is telling. Hisoka is pretty good at assessing everyone with nen. Everyone focuses on his obsession with Gon, but there are enough hints that he finds Killua more exceptional. He names Killua first (episode 18, 2011 version) when Netero asks who is keeping an eye on and also states that while is also watching Gon, it is Killua that he wants to fight one day. Later in the Chairman election arc, he essentially chooses Killua over Gon (Ep 143, his interesting decision on whether to kill Alluka or not). There is a lot to that decision but it surrounds a fight with Killua and/or Illumi and not Gon. So while Killua has known potential, I think he also has clear CURRENT power as well. As for bonus points... depends on what you want to assign there I guess. Tolerating an insane amount of nen generated electricity coursing through your body for lengthy periods of time without even flinching (where one yo-yo touch on that rando on Greed Island was enough to incapacitate a grown adult...) seems worth of bonus points :) so, while not saying Killua scores on top for any specific category, nor that he is #1 on this list, I think he should be pretty high up on the list. So I am curious to know where NewWorldReview ranked him since he is
Netero`s Buddas palms are so fast and so strong that most of the entire HXH CAST would be done in a single hit that they most likely couldn't even avoid, i even doubt that Uvogin could tank it or Feitan or Nabunaga avoid it for long Obs: i will put Nabunaga as faster than Feitan because he uses enhancement and like he sair himself to use it on focusing speed instead of raw power so we can assume he's faster but sadly we did not see his abilities yet.
If the Ant King has consumed Pitou's aura, he will have assess to Dr Blithe, do you think he could have 'reversed' the radiation poisoning he suffered? In that case, Gon's choice of 'escorting Pitou away', is in fact... the winning move.
The poisoning destroyed living cells at an incredible rate and slreads fast. I dont think Dr blythe can match that speed to recover especially after how slow it was to treat a normal wound.
Meruem would not have gotten Pitou’s abilities, unless Pitou manipulated their cells like Pouf and Youpi. He only got Pouf and Youpi’s because he absorbed their cells, literally merging with their existence.
@@stonefree7973 I think it is also due to The King's ability Aurasynthesis, he won't be able to get Pitou's ability unless Pitou is DEAD though, cause unlike the other two, Pitou cannot modify her body for consumption, but very sure she will willingly let the king bite her head off if it means there's a chance the rest can survive.
the funny thing about netero is that he is an enhancer. but his statue thing is the embodiment of conjuration manipulation enchament and emission (hand zero)
there are a ton of people who could beat bisky. she has top tier mastery and skill but has to reli solely on enhancement (which isnt her innate category) and physical combat. her hatsu is as far from fighting as possible and anyone with a solid lvl of skill AND a battle based hatsu could take her down

@@gavina-kk5td he’s not. In the manga he stole leorios ability and his ability is unknown. He can steal abilities as an “skill” meaning he’s chrollo ,but better and without constraints. The crazy thing as well is that ging’s real ability is unknown and netero didn’t even say he was among the best nen users and ging was one. Clearly he’s not capping😶
@@Dj-fb8bs actually that’s not entirely true. Ging can only copy striking type abilities that he has been hit with, so it does have a restraint in that sense. That is why he didn’t evade Leiro’s attack. He also likes Leiro and all he does for Gon. He knew that he deserved it. Ging is my favorite character behind Hisoka. Such a calculated hunter. Not a single wasted action and everything is done for a reason.
I think that versatility needs to be split into two categories- versatility and creativity. Versatility would demonstrate how easily adjustable their power is on its own, whereas creativity is how well the user actually is able to adjust in combat. For example, Hisoka may score low on versatility because it's a pretty plain power, but he is able to adjust his nen strategy during battle so well that he deserves points there. Just a thought.
Just because the properties of BOTH rubber and gum are simple doesn’t mean they’re not versatile. His creative application of his nen proves it is a versatile power. I’d say a characters level creativity of is what limits an ability’s versatility just as much as the actual versatility
I disagree with ya. Simply because when you're talking about creativity, that's just basically one's mastery and versatility in usage when in combat. These gradings are simply in the context of using Nen rather than who is more powerful in a fight. Hence best rather than most powerful. Shaquille O'neal is probably the most powerful basketball player to ever play the game, doesn't mean he's the best to ever play the game- that's Michael Jordan.
Does anyone else think that perhaps after Greed Island, Bisky may be close to becoming a triple star since she has already achieved an incredible feat for the first star, she trained Wing, Gon and Killua and then she accomplished another thing in her field by finding a gem only existing by winning Greed Island. I know this has little to do with the video but I like to think she could be on her way to join those ranks
Bisky is vastly underrated. Most of these videos don’t have to do with nen use, more so who has the most versatile hatsus which is why most of these hxh videos aren’t what they say they’re supposed to be lol. As far as nen control and users bisky should easily be top 5
Just finished the Chimera Ant Arc and sheesh! Loved some things and hated some others. Adult Gon/Netero/ Meruem all dope. The dummy side stories on some of the ants didn’t need to go in the storyline.
Yeah looking back the arc kind of dragged because of all the side stuff was going on with uninteresting characters. Like did we really need to see all those scenes with welfin or bloster?
I'm suprised Aluka isnt on this list, she Prob has a 25 Mastery, 25 Versatility and 25 Aura score. Even if her efficiency is really bad. With bonus points for being able to *grant a n y wish*
For explenation Mastery 25-Aluka never is shown to struggle using her ability and seems to fully have mastered it without any drawbacks on the ability itself 25 versatility-Can wish for anything 25 Aura score- The sheer aura you would need to pull of her wishes is stupid 1 efficiency-Lots of conditions, lots of drawbacks not on her behalf but still unless ur killua this can end horrible. Bonus-Especially with killua, can grant a n y wish
@@faresfares-ultra 1. Isnt much of a bad thing? You dont need to use powerd just for yourself 2. Again, with killua the conditions basically dont exist. Making her op.
Alluka has no Powers at all. You refer to Nanika. But Nanika is a Creature from the Dark Continent so we don't even know if Nanika's Ability is used through Nen and therefore it is not on the list. And Nanika can't use the Powers for itself. It needs someone to request something it can do for them and someone to pay the price for the wish.
@@MortimerFolchert Name one thing in the Hunter x Hunter world, or our world, capable of healing injuries with physical contact, teleporting people and massive objects, and killing people over vast distances. It's a Nen ability, simple as that. And it's possible because like all things Nen, rules are required.
Morels ability seems to be more of an enhancement and manipulation technique imo. He imbues the smoke with his Nen which is enhancement as he inhales it, and then manipulates it once he exhales it
Alright you got me with this one, subbed. I've watched several of your videos and you do a great job of breaking down the information in a digestible manner, and you have interesting theories. I didn't really like the trivia in your other videos but I have to respect the amount of work you put into this list. Great work!
9:04 I would say bisky does make a vow. She likes the form because she looks cute. Her condition is simply she gets weaker so it has no repercussions on her
Spoilers... And killed two phantom troupe members. Although I think his nen ability is weak compared to Netero and Chrollo, he is so darn creative and willing to take risks that would put him on top.
Theory: Razor nen condition is that he cant leave greed island or something similar, this way is more balanced (like nen is used to do) cuz he is still strong, but not that so overpowered.
That would make sense, because otherwise I just don't see how someone that powerful could be captured, much less contained like he was before he agreed to remained imprisoned and help.
I mean it makes sense why Chrollo is a place before Zeno, because even Zeno admitted in the phantom troupe arc. That if Chrollo really tried, he could kill Zeno.
Y'all don't even know, imagine if the 4th Prince was made into an ant... The absolutely horrifying idea that brings is unmatched. I would even go as far to say that could make him the most evil and baddest villain in anime/manga.
this list is really well thought out and presented in a entertaining way. Your methedology is good too, imo. All in all one of the best Ranking Videos about fictional worlds I've ever seen. Keep up the good work!
I remember there being something said about someone becoming a specialist later in life, that it's also most likely for a manipulator or conjurer, that's what I believe explains Biske, I think her ability is a specialist ability but she is normally a manipulator. Think about Kurapika changing from conjurer to specialist and we know that it's possible for someone to flip between specialist and their natural type.
@@glogner That's fair enough, I guess seeing him change the scale to max out at 30 when they got a 25 in one or more scores made me believe he said that some would go higher. (In retrospect, I probably misremembered what he said about bonus points)
I like the character Shoot who is one of Morel's students. When he decide to stop being a coward, I think that he has opened himself to the possibility of becoming stronger in the future.

Killua : got my electricity from charging myself
Knov : HIDDEN DIMENSIONS
Early HxH: to conjure something or transmute into something you must know that thing very well, you actually need to taste stuff like chains to know them better, or be exposed to insane amounts of electricity to transmute your aura into it.
Late HxH: THE PLANET JUPITER!!!
To conjure stuff you need a clear image in your mind and be very meticulous about it, you don't need to taste it. Transmutation is when you need to be exposed to and interact with a medium.
@@TrueReverse74
I'm using the planet jupiter just as an example. HxH has a bunch of examples stuff that are very hard if not impossible to replicate and to understand. Early on they present it as something extremely hard, Killua is seen as a weirdo becausehe has been so exposed to electricity he can transmute his aura into it.
Meanwhile Kurapika explained in detail how much he studied chains, physically touching and interacting with them to pull the conjuring.
Later on, conjurees and transmuters can just pull impossible stuff like planets and the literal Sun, which is impossible to be exposed to, and therefore they couldn't possibly make a real mental image of their composition.
This is true for 99.9% of nen users, they need to be extremely profficient with their abilities and know exactly how to conjure it and spend years training to do it, this however, does not hold true for the elite nen users of this series, who are so insanely genius when it comes to nen that they do not even require it. That's my interpretation of it.
@@OtakuJuanma2 you may not be able to expose yourself to the sun in a way that's physically possible but you can be used to the suns rays being excruciatingly painful like standing out in the middle of the desert at noon or being in the hxh equivalent of Arizona. As for the jupiter thing it's entirely possible than bonolenov just studied up on the planet jupiter a whole bunch, it's not like we know how much space travel the world of hxh has been so maybe he studied a book and went to imagine have some imagine training with weights on or something. It's entirely possible it's just the appearance of Jupiter instead of it being a planet. Killua was seen as weird because to expose yourself to electricity enough that it COULD be a nen ability is insane.
Tl:dr: I just meant that conjuration is more imagery than exposure and transmutation is the reverse. And I mainly responded like this because I don't think kurapika had to bite a chain.
Idk about bonolenov but feitan summoning the sun isnt his only ability i believe. Pain packer just turns any pain done on him back to his opponents and we don't even know what happens if he dies an excruciating death. He could have multiple different attacks
The fact that silva jumped off of a dragon's back above the clouds like an owl not making a sound hiding his aura from being noticed by an ant/cheetah's super enhanced senses to activate his nen in 0.1 seconds to crush cheetu is a super feat and the epitomy of mastery.

U know one of the biggest plot holes is that when Gon and Killua first learned nen, Killua said he had never heard of nen. There’s no way that’s true considering who his family is. Additionally he recognized his grandfather’s dragon dive when they were at the ant castle and Killua had to have seen that before the series started.
The reason is Togashi hadn´t create Nen as powersystem in the first arc. Thats also the reason why Killua had special abilitys like making is hand in a "claw" or rythm echo which are not nen.
I think what guy says above^ is correct but u make a very good point the comment about his grandpas move def made it seem like hes always been able to see nen
Pretty sure he recognized his aura and discerned it was his grandfather's ability. Each person's aura is unique and the aura of someone you've been around may be easily identifiable. Perhaps he had heard about certain techniques without understanding. Killua is a pretty sharp guy. It is quite possible he has heard about the technique in a conversation between his father and grandfather, this was his "oh that is what he meant." moment.
@@concept007 yah could be possible the physical part of the technique allowed him to easily identify it as well

My theory for hisoka is that him explaining bungee gum's properties to people is a multiplicative aura modifier. Usually explaining a hatsu, especially to opponents, is a death sentence. Because Hisoka's is so straightforward, he doesn't really risk anyone explaining it to anyone, since it's deadly power comes from his devilish level of creativity.
It also has a cool theming with his magician archetype, in that he's basically saying something along the lines of "nothing up my sleeves". He has essentially used human psychology and misdirection to turn what would be a huge restriction for most abilities into a strength.

@@maxdrags3115 No, the point is just being a nen master doesn’t mean you are stronger than those who haven’t mastered nen. If your opponent is just a ball of overwhelming talent, no amount of mastery can save you. Some matchups allow for both weaker and less efficient nen users to win, of course, but that’s not what mastery is referring to.
@@santemiguel7834 Indeed.
I think the flaw in your measurement lies in the fact that each stat is capped at 25, especially in the case of Meruem's aura which should probably be off the charts compared to the others on the list. Or conversely, if Meruem's aura is at a 25, I feel like noone else should even be hitting 15 if we go by linear measurements.
I think the only reason that he didn't give bonus points to Meruem was because he was trying to stress the idea that just because you have a lot of Aura doesn't mean you are a good nen user. I do agree that the chart is flawed in that way, but I do think that's the reason why.
From 25 and on, any extra amount of aura doesn't make a difference anymore. So the 'extra value' of having more aura than Pitou or Zef becomes much lower compared to the mathematical value of +x points on this scale.
@@Qwer1610 Not sure I agree that any Aura beyond 25 yields diminishing returns, at least not when it comes to Meruem. He basically tanked the Zero hand with his immense aura alone and came out with superficial scratches. I doubt Youpi and Pitou (who both score 25 on aura here) combined into a single being would have enough aura to achieve the same tanking feat. Then again, I am a Meruem fanboy so I may be grossly overestimating him.
Its not most powerful hxh characters its most powerful nen users. I still think Alluka should've made the list.
@@concept007 is alluka's ability classified as nen though? in the manga it is said that alluka/nanika is from the dark continent, and is therefore considered more of a biological factor? (lmao if im wrong though just let me know, always down to learn something new!)

How's that a twist? That's a FACT
I'd bump up Bisky a bit more in the bonus category - we've seen Gon access a similar transformation with his ultimate binding vow, but Bisky doesn't use super-Enhancement to access her muscle form. In fact, it's explicitly stated to be the opposite, with her JoJo's-esque form being her _actual_ body and her childlike form being her transformed state. That makes it even more impressive, since she's not just fueling Enhancement with raw desire to become larger, but doing something else _entirely_ to somehow become _smaller_
Exactly !
She migh be able to transform herself to completely other person with her nen skill. Without weird needle.
@@nabilzulkepli5745Idk, she said herself it came after years of intense focus. So I don't think its as free to be manipulated as something like Illumis needle.

Me when I come out of a hot shower and have steam surrounding me: Yes Nen level SSS+
When you realize "Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum." the answer is simple
I have a theory and suspicion that one reason why Razor is so powerful is due to a restriction he may have put on himself. That being that his powers only work on Greed Island. That would make sense, considering how he likely doesn't ever plan to leave Greed Island, so as a permanent resident, making such a nen vow/restriction in exchange for more power would make a lot of sense.
I think something similar probably applies to all the active administrators: basically I've been considering the game as a shared ability between them which likely breaks all sorts of "rules" of nen and likely functions more in the general realm of "genius" abilities. what abilities and even baseline power they have functioning as part of the game may be almost completely different than anything outside of it...though I kinda doubt their nature differs much since Ging's most consistently displayed and impressive ability has always been his ability to read people and pick out the right person/people to fulfill a role he wants done, uncertain if this is before or after nen or unrelated.
...conversely they could all quite believably be _completely_ different from their greed island personas working from the idea that Ging might have picked a bunch of people trying to escape from themselves to make their own little corner of reality into an imaginary world.
Hopefully togashi brings back the story soon, because the current arc has introduced some ridiculously overpowered nen users

You forgot Pitou's third Hatsu-Puppeteering.

Illumis puppets could do way more complex actions though.
The Nen ability itself is very strong and her mass of aura too but i dont think she is a skilled nen user
Not really since pitous puppets can speak, use nen, and are capable of fighting, I have never seen illumis puppet outperform the broken kite puppet and he was only 1 out of 50+ that were being controlled at the same time and badly damaged.
@@heibk-2019 illumi might look better at first glance but that's only because he mainly used his ability against people who couldn't even use nen,pitou with puppeteer was able to conquer an entire country and was able to hold back the extermination team for 10+ days from invading the palace so yeah i don't think that they are even comparable, don't forget that we couldn't even tell the difference between the dead body being manipulated by pitou and the real deal on top of that they were capable of speech and even using nen, now add up to this the fact that she can literally manipulate an entire army at the same time should completely give pitou the edge over any manipulator we have seen in hxh so far

Like, being at the center of a nuclear bomb, especially one so powerful, the radiation there would kill anything eventually - no amount of nen healing would get through it because it would stay with you, rotting you away, and radiation transfers to people around you if you've been heavily exposed so it literally does transfer to people around you and poisons and kills them as well.

@@dynamite_dynamite5954 "It wasn't even close," my guy it took Netero to kill himself in order to defeat Meruem, and not technically Netero didn't defeat Meruem as it was the bomb implanted inside him that did it.

@@dynamite_dynamite5954 bruh, did you even watch their fight? Netero was turn in to a pulp and meruem was still alive and kicking, heck he was even giving his respect to the old man. "Not even close" my ass
I mean, Kurapika certainly doesn't have the highest aura, but certainly he does not slack off in the area, he made Uvogin, one of the strongest Enhancer in action on the show to say that Kurapika's chains have an "Abnormal" quantity of Nen, at the point that Kurapika made him to avoid any of his attacks with the chains instead of trying to tank them like he did with everything and everyone before the fight with Kurapika. So it is an indicator that Kurapika's aura is pretty much formidable at least.
Netero is an enhancer
I mean...that's why he got a rating of 17 no?
Kurapika is no slouch for sure, but his super-powerful abilities are specifically geared for spiders only. Where against a Spider he's probably around Chrollo's level but against literally anyone else would severely struggle against the weaker members of the spider to flat out loosing.
I'd say his score of 17 fits very well when you account everything else that he wins by pure skill and prep time.
I would put Pouf even higher on versatility then 23. I would, in fact, say he should get a perfect versatility score. His abilities provide both immense defensive capabilities, great utility and numerus offensive strategies, which combined with his intelligence and strategic mind makes him infinitly versatile. I don't think he would have lost to Adult Gon the way Pitou did, for example, not because of efficiency but because of versatility. Defeating him with nothing but brawn would be almost impossible.
What offensive capabilities does he have tho? he only has defence hypnosis and is able to split himself. Pitou would have killed morel in a couple of seconds. Pouf had to split himself to escape smokey jail
Honestly, I'm even to willingly go far as to say he could be the most strongest of the 3.
Nen hacks are too strong and are king in the HxH world. Only exception to this fact was Mereum through sheer amount of Nen gifted to him, and even then Gon was able to achieve his strength (albeit by sacrificing everything). Imagine if Netero made the same death pact/sacrifice how much far stronger he would be.
One of the biggest plot holes in HxH is that due to ability to sacrifice/restrict oneself for powerups- is that anyone can actually be insidiously stupidly strong if given the most extreme and dumbest condition. Gon could actually be further even more powerful than Mereum if he added to his sacrifice the restriction he will only have this powerup versus against Pitou specifically. So that would've essentially made Gon the strongest in the verse in that form undeniably (before it was debatable if Gon=Mereum, Mereum>Gon or even Gon>Mereum) but adding this restriction just ensures it's Gon>>>Mereum.
Really begs the question if the nuke by Netero was even needed if he can just go "Lul, imma suicide myself- nen deus ex machina gimme a power up!".
yeah but i hate pouf
There's a recurring explanation about that, the ants are well aware of the capabilities of nen which includes that they don't know if aura will disappear or be stronger upon death. If he killed Morel on the spot, he would have to risk being in smoky jail forever. We don't know the restrictions of smoky jail. Since morel was pretty confident it can withhold Pouf who has tremendously larger aura than him, I think it's safe to say that killing him was the wrong move. He escaped and tricked him very very intelligently.
The only questionable aspect of this scoring system is that the ants would realistically be like 40+ if actually scaled to the humans rather than just given a perfect score, but I get it, the focus is more about how they use it.
Ok, I don't normally do this, but I have to write a comment on Meruem before going forward. One of the most complex and difficult techniques to master in the show is En. Meruem has showed that he can instinctively use En to an exent that isn't even worth comparing other characters to. That is not just a display of his aura quantity, because En depends solely on Nen mastery, as Youpi couldn't even use it. That alone, should have ranked him way higher on mastery.
Woah 8 minutes who knew binging log Horizon would pay off like this
Something to mention of course re: Razor is that a lot of the nen burden may be taken off his direct shoulders, as instead a lot of Greed Island's abilities also only work on Greed Island. For all we know, it ultimately doesn't cost Razor anything at all, aside from possibly being stuck on the very island himself. But who knows?
In the Japanese when Ging says he can generally copy someone's ability when he gets hit by it, there is more to it the English translation doesn't capture. He basically says he can deduce a person's frame of mind, and inference what led them to the creation of the ability, and from that knowledge he can improve their abilities as well.
Based on that Ging should be close to impossible to actually fight unless you can straight up kill him without him resisting you.
considering hes survived alone on the dark continent for extended periods of time, I really don't think there is any human so far that can just flat out kill him. Ging is basically an adult Gon with better mastery.

@@higharchbishopofteatasting6217 youre partly correct, but Ging has been to the dark continent as well. He survived for a number of years on his own there but from what i remember, he hasn't been able to explore all that much because of the level of danger there.
Netero's Bodhisattva was the most powerful ability of netero (not the only ability) as said by zeno , he is a master of nen and may have had many other hatsu ,I don't think he always fought others with such a giant statue which takes such an amount of space
being an enhancer and a martial artist, I really think Netero really didn't need to use Bodhisattva often at all
@@isaiascanete6651 We don't 100% know that he was an Enhancer, probably was, but no solid proof.
We don't know of his other hatsu, therefore, it doesn't matter in the context of this video.
@@maxdrags3115 No he is a confirmed enhancer
@@howielowis458 Nope, hasn't been confirmed ever.
I'm kind of interested to know where Killua ranked here. I think he is often underestimated (even by those who recognize he is a genius). He is repeatedly and overtly noted to have exceptional aura control throughout the entire show. So I think that would play in to the "efficiency" section very well. Uses exactly what he needs and when he needs it. Efficiency is also well demonstrated all the time with the sharp precision of any of his abilities, nen or otherwise (his claw hand thing and his rhythym walk... unless those are nen too and he didnt know it... also show pin point efficiency). Versatility is interesting to ponder. Electricity itself is already quite versatile (offense, defense, speed, reflexes, etc) but similar to people like Hisoka, Kurapika, Chrollo, it's really his tremendous intelligence and thoughtful nature that maximize the use of his abilities. I personally place his analytical abilities above Kurapika's but that's just me maybe. He just doesnt walk into plots that require him demonstrating this as much so it is not as obvious as Kurapika. But determining to nearly 100% accuracy the existence of Komugi and her significance just with the knowledge that Pitou's En disappeared is quite exceptional deduction. Raw amount of aura... that's where most people assume he would be weak in. He may be. But I don't really know. He is ALWAYS holding back. Sometimes by nature, sometimes intentionally (assassin's are not supposed to be flashy people, he is a quiet introspective boy, he had a needle in his head, he deliberately holds back so that he does not get too far ahead of Gon, etc). So we never really know exactly what he can do at max. Though running at god speed for long distances is pretty impressive - seems like the main thing limiting its use is not his aura reserve but the electricity he can store in his body. Hisoka's assessment of him I think is telling. Hisoka is pretty good at assessing everyone with nen. Everyone focuses on his obsession with Gon, but there are enough hints that he finds Killua more exceptional. He names Killua first (episode 18, 2011 version) when Netero asks who is keeping an eye on and also states that while is also watching Gon, it is Killua that he wants to fight one day. Later in the Chairman election arc, he essentially chooses Killua over Gon (Ep 143, his interesting decision on whether to kill Alluka or not). There is a lot to that decision but it surrounds a fight with Killua and/or Illumi and not Gon. So while Killua has known potential, I think he also has clear CURRENT power as well. As for bonus points... depends on what you want to assign there I guess. Tolerating an insane amount of nen generated electricity coursing through your body for lengthy periods of time without even flinching (where one yo-yo touch on that rando on Greed Island was enough to incapacitate a grown adult...) seems worth of bonus points :) so, while not saying Killua scores on top for any specific category, nor that he is #1 on this list, I think he should be pretty high up on the list. So I am curious to know where NewWorldReview ranked him since he is
Holy shit big para
bro it ain’t that serious
Damn it’s big but I read it all but yea I was confused why Killua and Gon wasn’t there
What is does it mean to be a efficient nen user?
2)what does it mean to have good mastery over your ability or nen
Netero`s Buddas palms are so fast and so strong that most of the entire HXH CAST would be done in a single hit that they most likely couldn't even avoid, i even doubt that Uvogin could tank it or Feitan or Nabunaga avoid it for long Obs: i will put Nabunaga as faster than Feitan because he uses enhancement and like he sair himself to use it on focusing speed instead of raw power so we can assume he's faster but sadly we did not see his abilities yet.
What if nobunagas ability is to be a poor man's king Bradley?
🤣🤣🤣👌
lets hope we have no technical difficulties today
If the Ant King has consumed Pitou's aura, he will have assess to Dr Blithe, do you think he could have 'reversed' the radiation poisoning he suffered? In that case, Gon's choice of 'escorting Pitou away', is in fact... the winning move.
The poisoning destroyed living cells at an incredible rate and slreads fast. I dont think Dr blythe can match that speed to recover especially after how slow it was to treat a normal wound.
Meruem would not have gotten Pitou’s abilities, unless Pitou manipulated their cells like Pouf and Youpi. He only got Pouf and Youpi’s because he absorbed their cells, literally merging with their existence.
@@stonefree7973 I think it is also due to The King's ability Aurasynthesis, he won't be able to get Pitou's ability unless Pitou is DEAD though, cause unlike the other two, Pitou cannot modify her body for consumption, but very sure she will willingly let the king bite her head off if it means there's a chance the rest can survive.
Dr Blythe is used for surgery, it can't deal with poison.
@@AndrewManook it can recreate flesh so there is that . but it is slow on that so i doubt it would help .
the funny thing about netero is that he is an enhancer. but his statue thing is the embodiment of conjuration manipulation enchament and emission (hand zero)
One can only imagine how fast killua will blaze through this list when he master his godspeed and ability to turn his aura into electricity.
Without even watching i can tell you that that gum and rubber is A++ nen.
You got me at 2:04 with Melody in the bottom right. Easily one of the best characters in the whole series to me.

You're all sleeping on Biscuit Krueger in terms of mastering nen and her experience there's only a handful of people who can best her
there are a ton of people who could beat bisky. she has top tier mastery and skill but has to reli solely on enhancement (which isnt her innate category) and physical combat. her hatsu is as far from fighting as possible and anyone with a solid lvl of skill AND a battle based hatsu could take her down
@@snowman9631 Oh brother. Having a combat ability isn't the end-all-be-all of Nen. Her training exercises showed masterful knowledge about the intricacies of Nen combat, she's a master martial artist, and she's one of the Hunter Association's most well known and supported Hunters. She's faster than Hisoka and likely has other abilities up her sleeves.
@@stonefree7973 way to be patronizing... also in case youre somehow blind i said prty much everything you did concerning her skill. maybe read my comment again and tell me how a skilled opponent with a battle hatsu would lose cause id love to hear it. (not really you seem like a bit of an ass)
@@snowman9631 did you really think the bisky only have that abilities? People in the top of hxh world didn't used their nen openly. And she doesn't have a reason to used her full abilities.
@@emojest18 you really gonna be that dumb??? Its her only ability... People only have 1 ability very very very few have a secondary, anything they are able to do is almost exclusively a clever application of 1 power. The only people weve seen have 2 abilites are Hisoka and Ging, then people with specialist abilities. Plus she is already using nen in other ways. Her transformation already uses nen so her having some secret 3rd ability is EXTREMELY unlikely
Imagine gon, killua, kurapika, leorio, kite, and alluka matured up and trained like netero. What a beast of a squad.
unfortunately due to kurapika using his life force to gain power quickly, he’s most likely not going to mature like netero 🙃 it kinda sucks cause if he just took his time to train- i have no doubt that he’d be on par if not stronger than netero
I always thought about, what if, instead of from age 46 to 50, Netero trained from 46 to 66.
Where’s my 20 best fights in anime? Huh New World where is it at?!?
Goddamnit i just realized why this account is named new world. Grand line -> New world. To be fair im only at 500 in One Piece.
@@Ahab1765 bruh
Imagine Meruem with just 1 year of nen experience like Killua or gon my god will be be glorious
One month. And he would have been able to block nukes😂😂😂. So imagine 1 year
I feel like alluka is stronger
@@nell6705 alluka has a threat level of extinction of Humanity
@@nell6705 alluka is most definitely stronger only if they detach themselves from killua, nanika is also from the dark continent which begs the question, what other species are stronger than the ant king
@@nell6705 Alluka can't fight, she would be killed in seconds by Meruem.
Razor would’ve been a huge help during the Chimera Ant Arc
So a top 20 worst nen users is on the way? :D
Oh yes ;D
@@NewWorldReview I'm betting Gon's gonna be on that list.
@@NewWorldReview rip Pokkle
Finally a list where Tonpa reigns.
@@Michael271097 Tonpa was never shown to be a nen user
Bisky: “Ging!? Of course I know him, he is one of the top 5 nen users.
Issac Netero: “it’s been years since I’ve been considered the top nen user.”
I thought the quote was that it'd been years since he'd been considered THE top Nen user
He was capping
@@gavina-kk5td he’s not. In the manga he stole leorios ability and his ability is unknown. He can steal abilities as an “skill” meaning he’s chrollo ,but better and without constraints. The crazy thing as well is that ging’s real ability is unknown and netero didn’t even say he was among the best nen users and ging was one. Clearly he’s not capping😶
@@Dj-fb8bs yea and netero also said morel was stronger than him, does that make it true? hxh fans are idiots among idiots.
@@Dj-fb8bs actually that’s not entirely true. Ging can only copy striking type abilities that he has been hit with, so it does have a restraint in that sense. That is why he didn’t evade Leiro’s attack. He also likes Leiro and all he does for Gon. He knew that he deserved it. Ging is my favorite character behind Hisoka. Such a calculated hunter. Not a single wasted action and everything is done for a reason.
I think that versatility needs to be split into two categories- versatility and creativity. Versatility would demonstrate how easily adjustable their power is on its own, whereas creativity is how well the user actually is able to adjust in combat. For example, Hisoka may score low on versatility because it's a pretty plain power, but he is able to adjust his nen strategy during battle so well that he deserves points there. Just a thought.
Just because the properties of BOTH rubber and gum are simple doesn’t mean they’re not versatile. His creative application of his nen proves it is a versatile power. I’d say a characters level creativity of is what limits an ability’s versatility just as much as the actual versatility
I disagree with ya. Simply because when you're talking about creativity, that's just basically one's mastery and versatility in usage when in combat.
These gradings are simply in the context of using Nen rather than who is more powerful in a fight. Hence best rather than most powerful. Shaquille O'neal is probably the most powerful basketball player to ever play the game, doesn't mean he's the best to ever play the game- that's Michael Jordan.
Does anyone else think that perhaps after Greed Island, Bisky may be close to becoming a triple star since she has already achieved an incredible feat for the first star, she trained Wing, Gon and Killua and then she accomplished another thing in her field by finding a gem only existing by winning Greed Island. I know this has little to do with the video but I like to think she could be on her way to join those ranks
Bisky is vastly underrated. Most of these videos don’t have to do with nen use, more so who has the most versatile hatsus which is why most of these hxh videos aren’t what they say they’re supposed to be lol.
As far as nen control and users bisky should easily be top 5
Just finished the Chimera Ant Arc and sheesh! Loved some things and hated some others. Adult Gon/Netero/ Meruem all dope. The dummy side stories on some of the ants didn’t need to go in the storyline.
Yeah looking back the arc kind of dragged because of all the side stuff was going on with uninteresting characters. Like did we really need to see all those scenes with welfin or bloster?
@@powpowouchy5 good points on both still like the arc but yea
"Hunter x Hunter: A Series that will never be finished so we find ourselves reliving the Chimera Arch over and over"
I like how he talked about a new character who can see into the future, but wouldn't mention hisoka's biggest fight or new ability lol
He didn’t get a new ability.
Spoiler
He simply died, and used the aura from death to save himself. And kept said aura boost
@@ghostcell06-_-85 he did exactly what jotaro did
I'm suprised Aluka isnt on this list, she Prob has a 25 Mastery, 25 Versatility and 25 Aura score. Even if her efficiency is really bad. With bonus points for being able to *grant a n y wish*
For explenation
Mastery 25-Aluka never is shown to struggle using her ability and seems to fully have mastered it without any drawbacks on the ability itself
25 versatility-Can wish for anything
25 Aura score- The sheer aura you would need to pull of her wishes is stupid
1 efficiency-Lots of conditions, lots of drawbacks not on her behalf but still unless ur killua this can end horrible.
Bonus-Especially with killua, can grant a n y wish
@@ZuckerBubi she cant use her power for herself and need many request to grant a wish that will put her the same as kurabika boss daughter rank
@@faresfares-ultra 1. Isnt much of a bad thing? You dont need to use powerd just for yourself
2. Again, with killua the conditions basically dont exist. Making her op.
Alluka has no Powers at all. You refer to Nanika. But Nanika is a Creature from the Dark Continent so we don't even know if Nanika's Ability is used through Nen and therefore it is not on the list. And Nanika can't use the Powers for itself. It needs someone to request something it can do for them and someone to pay the price for the wish.
@@MortimerFolchert Name one thing in the Hunter x Hunter world, or our world, capable of healing injuries with physical contact, teleporting people and massive objects, and killing people over vast distances. It's a Nen ability, simple as that. And it's possible because like all things Nen, rules are required.
Morels ability seems to be more of an enhancement and manipulation technique imo. He imbues the smoke with his Nen which is enhancement as he inhales it, and then manipulates it once he exhales it
Alright you got me with this one, subbed. I've watched several of your videos and you do a great job of breaking down the information in a digestible manner, and you have interesting theories. I didn't really like the trivia in your other videos but I have to respect the amount of work you put into this list. Great work!
Chorollo : I need to meet 4 restrictions to copy your ability and some more to use it.
Ging : Show me once i will upgrade it
9:04 I would say bisky does make a vow. She likes the form because she looks cute. Her condition is simply she gets weaker so it has no repercussions on her
Opening with Meruem (20th), Closing with Netero (1st)
I like it.
Yeaaaa hiskoas mastery should be 25 he brought himself back to life with his ability if that’s not masterful what is
Right
Spoilers...
And killed two phantom troupe members. Although I think his nen ability is weak compared to Netero and Chrollo, he is so darn creative and willing to take risks that would put him on top.
Theory: Razor nen condition is that he cant leave greed island or something similar, this way is more balanced (like nen is used to do) cuz he is still strong, but not that so overpowered.
That would make sense, because otherwise I just don't see how someone that powerful could be captured, much less contained like he was before he agreed to remained imprisoned and help.
Silva will move up on the list once we see more of his abilities for sure. We never see him pushed to his limit
“Once we see”?
Me sweet summer child
Damn I appreciate you not spoiling how Hisoka gains more power. I want more anime so bad that I'm going to read the Manga lol. Excellent content!
I mean it makes sense why Chrollo is a place before Zeno, because even Zeno admitted in the phantom troupe arc. That if Chrollo really tried, he could kill Zeno.
Y'all don't even know, imagine if the 4th Prince was made into an ant... The absolutely horrifying idea that brings is unmatched. I would even go as far to say that could make him the most evil and baddest villain in anime/manga.
this list is really well thought out and presented in a entertaining way. Your methedology is good too, imo. All in all one of the best Ranking Videos about fictional worlds I've ever seen. Keep up the good work!
This list, like your other videos, is so masterfully executed. This is how you earn subs. Thanks for all of your work!
Maybe someday we'll see Beyond's, Pariston's, and Ging's actual nen abilities.
Maybe.
I wanna see Cheadle throw down
Keep dreaming, my man

Nice
Just now finding this channel from grand line review love your videos across the board didn’t know you did other anime’s and it makes me even happier
You must have taken hours for this research so for that! You deserve my like and subscription! Continue with the amazing HxH/JoJo content!
I remember there being something said about someone becoming a specialist later in life, that it's also most likely for a manipulator or conjurer, that's what I believe explains Biske, I think her ability is a specialist ability but she is normally a manipulator. Think about Kurapika changing from conjurer to specialist and we know that it's possible for someone to flip between specialist and their natural type.
Nice channel, just started to watch the original 90s HxH for nostalgia (y)
Out of curiosity, why did you only give Meruem a 25 in aura? He is leaps and bounds higher than the royal guards.
Facts
25 is the maximum score he can give to it
@@glogner That's fair enough, I guess seeing him change the scale to max out at 30 when they got a 25 in one or more scores made me believe he said that some would go higher. (In retrospect, I probably misremembered what he said about bonus points)
Chrollo mastered nen its like he created it
U know whatever u think togashi will agree with u
Characters are explained in the same way they are showed in the series good job man
I like the character Shoot who is one of Morel's students. When he decide to stop being a coward, I think that he has opened himself to the possibility of becoming stronger in the future.
Agree
Well he is quite powerful without his fear of death. He was giving Youpi that work for a little bit which is insanely impressive.
8:36 Isn't it manipulation? Illumi can change his body's appearance too with manipulation, although for a limited time.
It is most likely some kind of enhancement.
currently watching with subtitles and laughing every time it calls meruem marijuana and autocorrecting other names
ngl I wasn't expecting an almost 19 minutes video about the properties of hisoka's aura.
it makes sense. after all, bungee gum possesses the properties of both rubber AND gum
