    One key characteristic of specialists is that they tend to gather followers right?
    Neon had all the mafia depending on her future readings, even her father use it to grow in popularity.
    Chrollo basically turned his group of friends into a cult like group, you can see that all members of the spider treat him more like the leader than a close friend.
    And theres Pariston that gather all the "weaklings" of the association and turned them into his own political group.
    This is why I think Ging is a specialist, he seems to create organizations to do the most impossible tasks. I agree that Gings ability is basicaly the power of friendship. I have this theory about what it might be but would take much time to explain ha.

    My guess on Gings ability is that he would be able to learn the abilities of every nen user that becomes his friend ,maybe on the condition that he have to have a certain number of friends made etc. He created greed Island and then offered huge money to beyonds crew and eventually almost half of them sided to him instead of pariston..and with that being said it means he may have all the card copies in greed island free to be used , that is something very useful on dark continent as well

      Huh, excellent idea. While he can copy simple strike-type hatsu on his own, he could potentially copy much more complex hatsu under the conditions you mentioned. I dig it. It's a bit OP, but this IS one of the top 5 Nen users in the world we're talking about.

    As a terrorist hunter the dragon himself would have quite the inclination towards fire and if he is a enhancer being smack bang in between emission and transmutation is perfect for such an ability.

    6:55 there's actually no proof that Ponzu knew Nen, or, more specifically, how to use Nen. she may just train bees. a more accurate comparison would be Squala.

    • @theoverthinker348
      @theoverthinker348  7 месяцев назад +24

      As mentioned in the video, Ponzu was actually given an Emission-lean Manipulator categorization by Togashi. This, of course, entails she was indeed awakened to Nen. I go over this in the New Nen Diagram series, specifically thr vid covering Manipulators. Feel fee to check it out for a bit more info.
      Squala would've been a good example too though.

    i was kind of disapointed in the design of the zodiacs but thematically it fits the goofy selfish childlike nature of a hunter perfectly in fact they along side netero and gon are the epitome of that and i think its a great subversion of expecations of the early hxh at first the hunter association was a mysterious organization than we find out that the hunter association does not have a big virtuous purose or duty and most hunters are like gon powerful selfish egocentric children its like if you give spoiled child the power to do what he wants and live his fanatsies almost like a parody of the viewers and early hxh.. all of this ties up to their role in the story at first they were a big mystery to gon and the viewers after the netero and meruem fight and the reveal of the real nature of hunter which is shallow and inimoprtant and underwhelming so did their inroduction and role in the story this is also why they characters werent fleshed out and their abilities werent even explained now they are just little pieces in the grand political schemes and themes that togashi is exploring except for pariston and cheedle who may have a more important role

      I agree for the most part, though quite a few Zodiacs seem to be serious and responsible fully aware of what they stand for and represent. That's precisely why I personally find their Furcon getup so jarring.
      We can rationalize it in-world in quite a few ways (your comment may have actually inspired a video in the future), but my gut tells me that it all comes down to Togashi having wanted to draw some out-there and fun designs, first and foremost.
      I do hope it's touched on a bit, rather than everyone just accepting that the top brass of the Hunter Association are just all... cosplay enthusiasts.

    One big distinction that emmited objects seem to have compare to conjured one is that they are still somewhat connect to the user in the sense that the user can just call their aura back and the emmited object would disappear while in conjuration the objest is separate from the user and cannot be called back in the same way which is why I think that knuckle is a conjurer as apr and irs do not work like an emitted objects.

    • @theoverthinker348
      @theoverthinker348  7 месяцев назад +3

      Exactly, but I'd argue the very opposite. Aura transfer is an Emission-based ability type, and APR being itself an emitted construct would fit it far better in my opinion. I go into detail on this in the New Nen Diagram series, specifically the one covering Conjurers.

      Stupid see my comment under the video it make it clear indirectly why razor is an emitter. Anime was wrong to animate the devils just like netero’s statue. They should be like Zeno dragon made of pure nen with the shape of devils/statue.
      I’m not English so I don’t understand if you said that morel is a transmuter if you say that you are wrong again (I’m not judging you but seems like people don’t understand what is nen and how it works also if it is clear. From the other hand I know also that the notes not official at all of togashi made people more confused. Only what it’s in the manga/story is official not outside and someone must base on it not other things): Morel manipulate smoke to shape it and moving and use emission to put a core of nen at 80% potential in the deep purple. With manipulation and conjuration he can reproduce color and expression for the smoke like knuckle copies. He need the pipes to produce smoke that’s because his nen is not properly a transmutation of smoke. The wall is made of manipulated smoke infused with emission nen to make it repel people and moving it with manipulation make it like an infinity barrier.

      Rrriight, I feel ya. So bigger dudes like Ginta or Botobai would be out of the question? It's a definite possibility, but seems a bit awkward for a limitation. It'd be far weaker than Kurapika being able to use Chain Jail only on Troupe members (for example), since Mizai can still paralyze 99.9% of people. So while it's absolutely possible, I don't think this kind of limitation would balance out and open up that many options to him.

      There's decent evidence which points to the notion that, at least morphing your body, is Transmutation-based.
      As mentioned, Togashi has become quite liberal with the various Hatsu and their classification as of the Dark Continent saga. Hinrigh and Lynch being great examples of this. As such, a lot of things have become a lot more ambiguous.

    (Hex) My idea for what Paristan’s hatsu could do, kind of following your suggestion, is that he has the power to make people never forget him. It is very weak, but perfect for someone as charismatic as his. If he manages to get you on his side, you will be on his side forever, and if he gets on your nerves, he gets on your nerves forever. It is also sutle enough of an ability that no one would ever really notice it and weak enough he could do it on a massive scale with little aura usage.

Tiger catch nen abilities and throw their effects through a ball rooster enhances other with a shout.snakes poison. Ram changes people emotions changing their nen to the different forms like zetsu.

    NETERO IS NOT ENHANCER BUT EMITTER!!! Togashi's notes are not canonical, only what is in the manga is valid: netero is clearly about the emission not the enhancement for ten thousand reasons (strongest blow zero hand, the statue is also an emission that separates from the body obtaining 100% of Netero's NEN potential, uses 80% manipulation to move his hands and coordinate them, uses 80% enhancement to refine the speed and resistance of his body so that he can perform the moves with which the statue's emission aura operates quickly through manipulation, temperamentally it's very emission, then it's the only way for Netero to use all the characteristics of its type and affinities to the maximum...) the misunderstanding happens for the anime which made it just like the devils of razor (also from emission) as if they were materials when instead they had to be represented like Zeno's dragon... (obviously the same thing about emission that manipulates devils applies to razor... people don't understand that emission is the power to express the maximum potential of one's own nen 100% as strength and speed when the nen detaches or extends from the body, being able to give it shape, which changes from the transformation which gives quality and changes from the conjuration which gives consistency no longer just simple nen (flow of energy)).
