I'm ngl I'm glad the general opinion is that morel is the goat, he was a huge point of enjoyment in chimera ant

12:06 doesn't explain why togashi only put alluka's name there, my own interpretation is that alluka was genuinely born with nanika already coexisting symbiotically with her, think of it as rika being yuta's cursed techniqe despite having her own soul, only nanika was literally born alongside her, with nanika having her own soul and also being alluka's specialist nen ability who follows her own ruleset, i think it's like kite's crazy slots that does its own thing when helping kite, but with nanika being her own person with her own soul, i think she can further develop her specialist nen ability by adding new sub abilities, like pakunoda's pistol ability and chrollo's bookmark probably being sub abilities developed later after they recognized their main specialist abilities

Well i think specialist is the Most important Part to make the System more real. It shows that the humans found nen and tried to make a system for it but like in science humans do not understand the natural world realy and need a way to descripe what the do Not understand.

I reckon since the death of the user removes Chrollo’s ability the ability must still be connected to the user and therefor would still go by the users proficiency, This is supported by the fact that the restrictions imposed by the original user and the thoughts and opinions of the original user still affect the ability in Chrrollo’s possession, It is theoretically possible that Chrollo may even utilise the actual aura of the original user rather than his own (though more likely his aura just takes on the exact properties of the original user when he uses the ability)

Btw Togashi had also listed the proficiency levels of character midway between any two nen affinities- so for characters like Hanzo, Pika, Franklin, Machi, Killua, Kite, etc. You can also make a video on it since this was listed in Japanese on the raw pencil drawn chart, and many people didn't notice it.

Love your videos. You do great analysis

The finale is finally here. I was hoping it would come out just as we got new chapters but it seems like we will have to wait a bit more.

This is more relevant to your other specialist video, however i think its worth considering that the Nen system and rules we are presented throughout the show is the in-universe "science" of nen. Aura and its use is a natural phenomenon thats been studied and explored by nen users, not been created by them. Therefore its very likely that the models we have in place for it are rather simplified and "lacking". Much like how Newtons laws are in our own world. They work well enough and give us and understanding of our universe. But they dont tell the whole story. This leaves room for all kinds of discrepencies and oddities that we see through-out the show. The Nen ring, its affinities and each users proficiensies in them are tools to help a nen-user develop their abilities. It seems unlikely to me that *any* of it is 100% understood and set in stone. And this is by no means a flaw of the writing or anything. It makes perfect sense for something like Nen to be far more complex than what has been discovered by its practitioners. My 10 cents atleast :P

THE KING IS BACK

i believe chrollo prophency percentages still apply to his skill hunter ability since it was established that kurapika is a rare exception to the rule with his empror time ability at the cost of the severe pledge he made and what reinforces my theory is that chrollo mostly used manipulation and conjuration abilites and i cant imagine his taking phinks or uvo abilities and hitting as hard as them....the base physical strength matter + the nen reserves which is likea multiplier to your strength and proficiency is how much you reached your full ptentiel...ants for example are physically stronger than the average human without nen ..add to that great nen reserves because ants represent animals in the hxh universe and animals naturally and instinctually have a lot of determination and will power and mental strength which translates to a lot of nen in their tank... and animals are natural born fighters they dont need a lot of training which explain the high proficiency of the ants from the start .. this is why i think the chart doesnt apply on the ants and and other unhuman creatures from the dark continent like nanika which is the AI calamity since the chart was made by human masters who studied humans didnt study about the dark continent .... as for shikaku the only explanation for him being a manipulator is him being a '' nen '' manipulator . overall i enjoyed the serie and the analysis of nen in general the best magic system .

Great video as always

For a long time specialization was my least favorite category of nen mostly because of the many misconceptions surrounding it. What made nen special wasnt its complexity but the balance within the power system and specialization should not be the exception. In my re-reading I notice that every time specialization is said to be an outer category was in terms of training to other nen users. That said i do believe that specialization follows the natural balance of 80 80 60 60 40 but by its unique nature this affinities are random. Theres also the misinformation of it being a rare category which its said nowere in the manga, thats why i think specialization comes from specialized not special.

I think Pitou would be very skilled in emission As u explained, almost all her Hatsu could be explained using emission and her EN?! (That force field out of nen) has the biggest range of basically every other than meruem so that screams emission to me

0:23 😮 I didn’t know that😂😂😂

manipulation is also the ability of manipulating people and his own nen, the one with the card gives me the feeling being able to manipulate his nen in card geometry and then using emission to trap the ability in the card ( similar as to how an emitter as meruem can obtain other people nen by trapping and then assimilate). nen is becoming more attuned to life force and mental energy put together; i'm not gonna call it mana cause it isn't, but my cultivation background of reading kinda gives me the feeling of unison of powers reaching a new level. i'd say nen is still incomplete to this day and will probably be updated further when it matures.

Pakus ability is better all she has to do is be in contact while the mafia girl hit hisoka and nothing happened brfore he counter punched so im guessing it can be defended

imo the decision of pitou being a specialist was like a red herring, because we're led to believe she's a master manipulator that probably hides her true power but ironically, pouf is the special character out of the bunch, he gives people nen abilities, reads emotions, splits into several parts and hypnotizes people. for the whole arc pitou is so scary, but her abilities aren't something very special, only focused in protecting the king, while pouf's abilities are ambitious, aimed towards building an empire and knowing everything to ensure the king's victory

If you analyse it, all of pitou's abilities seem to be a combination of Conjuration, manipulation and enhancement First conjure the puppet, then manipulate the puppet to enhance either fighting power or healing factor of the target

is illumis agenda on joining the troupe to be that he wants chrollo to hunt down alluka and killua to steal allukas power (if its even possible) of course after helping the troupe hunt hisoka and voyage on the dark continent that must be his payment because it seems so sudden for illumi to join the troupe out of nowhere

Personally, i think pitou emits the weird clown puppeteers since non-nen users can't see them, as they probably would have reacted badly to seeing an army of clown monsters puppeteering their military and leader. Nurse blithe may be a conjuration thing since it doesn't fully separate from pitous tail, but im not sure. But maybe it is a specialization thing that makes it not completely follow the traditional nen architypes or something. Edit: it was also stated that gon couldn't see the clown pupeteering kites body because he was still in a state of zetsu because of knuckles hatsu.

5:35 hey, do you have the interview that togashi said this about her?

2:57 guy did you ever read that part of kurapika's training where its master explicitely says you don't have to be a specialist to use an specialist like ability ? because to me that seems like an application of that 1% specialization from materialist users

Woah he's back. The only hxh youtuber I watch, I love your videos.

Neon's ability could be a conjurer ability right? Since you just conjure a nen beast and its ability is to predict the future? Or m I understanding this completely wrong

The Question "WHAT is Special about Pitous Specialist-Hatsu" may very well lead directly to Nen-Knowledge! Seriously, are Specialists just copying or are they a Mutation of the Other Types? I theorized long before the Keyword is 'Layerring' and invented words like 'spcial-conjuring' for for-example Chrollo sumoning a Book. Im convinced that's no Conjuration

i mean Coldcept Captrues and manipulates the ability.

Please do more, we are thirsty for more HxH

Reject Hogyoku, obtain cute imouto

Honestly, i think using another's nen ability is more based in manipulation than specialisation. Think about it. All it would theoratically entail is observing the process the enemy's nen goes through to become said ability, and manipulate your own in the same way. While a lot harder in prctice and involving emission a lot of the time, that is the fundementals of how anyone would acquire such an ability. A specialist like Chrollo essentially got a cheat code for it with a fuck you on the side for his victim(ie being unable to use it while he has their ability).

Wait, where is Kurapika?

Neon's ability as a specialist is well and all until Palm throws a wrench in the conclusion, Palm is an enhancer yet she has clairvoyance What's up with that

Could that card guy be specialist lean?
