the thing about the gon turning into a super powerful dude is that togashi took the stupid "super sayjin all is lost i've been pushed past the brink time to pull a powerup out of my rear end and win the day" thing and painted it with the actual real horror, pain, and loss such a psychological break would entail it's why gon looks ugly and bizarre and just plain wrong, because the situation is all of those things

Ging's likely got some sort of copy Nen going on, like Chrollo, only with different mechanics and restrictions. it's too bad we'll never know for sure.

that's just because most of the zodiacs are unfun sticks in the mud i mean, yeah pariston and ging "hate" each other but it's a little bit more complicated than the hate the rest of the zodiacs have for ging (and pariston)

I did not feel bad for Pitou. I felt bad for Gon. Well mostly I just felt bad. really Pouf was the only one of the bunch that I'd consider a real monster

Pouf was the only higher ranking Ant that was totally irredeemable, but it's probably a good thing that all of them are dead. They were horribly powerful, and their burgeoning humanity doesn't really make much of a difference here. I mean, the horror that does (most of) the Ants in was a human invention after-all

Hisoka is legit likely one of the most powerful dudes in the whole series. His bungee gum seems sort of underwhelming when compared to what Chrollo's power does, but it honestly lets him cheat at the standard Nen development rules.

I'm actually suspicious that the deception poo poo is just something he does for fun against his lessors. And we've never seen Hisoka "punch above his weight" in the slightest, in fact he's never had a fight were he wasn't just clowning on the other person in the whole series.

One of the key considerations with Nen powers, especially within regards to their "battle effectiveness" is flexibility vs specialization. Most simply put, how many situations the power could be useful in vs how strong that power is in specific situations. Straying too far along either axis robs a Nen user of potential. This is why "enhancement" Nen is typically regarded as the best all around battle Nen, because it's able to specialize (focus on building physical strength) without sacrificing flexibility. This is what also makes Hisoka's power sort of crazy on examination, it is absolutely a heavily specialized power, it only really does one thing well, it's just the thing it's so specialized in is literally flexibility. loving Bungee Gum gives that sadistic rear end in a top hat an ability to mitigate, manipulate, and augment physical force to a degree beyond anything seen in this series from any other character. I mean, yeah Hisoka loves him some tricks and mindgames, but if you for a second think that the deadly "magic tricks" he loves playing on everyone is even close to the extent of what he's able to do with his power then he's fooled you too.

Even in the competition with Razor, Hisoka simply ended the whole ordeal when Gon was no longer able to carry on.

there is zero chance that, if this series ever continues (there is zero chance that it will) that Gon will fail to get his Nen back.

emission makes "energy" and conjuration makes "matter", furthermore non-nen users usually cannot see emissions but usually can see conjurations his statue is a thing of pure force

Tunicate posted:The Dark Continent is probably the reason why they made millions of those things. no. they are human beings, they made them to kill each other. The manga was pretty explicit about this. it's kind of a very important difference between "animals" (which the ants were) and "humans" (which the ants were becoming) and another very good reason the ants needed to die.

logger posted:The interesting thing is among the ants we were introduced to the one that stayed most ant-like was Pitou. You think that's interesting check this out. Every one of the revealed "dark continent" monster things either eats, parasitizes, or changes human beings in some way. The dark continent isn't off limits because it's deadly, it's off limits because of what it's inhabitants could become as a result of interaction with humans. This expedition is a really god damned loving bad idea holy poo poo.

Kurapika also doesn't have any real pressing reason to go after the Spiders anymore, after all, his objective has changed from revenge to collection. And the Spiders aren't exactly suicidal, so it's unlikely most of them would be all that willing to go after Kurapika.
