But yes, there is many plotholes regarding Nen. Even if the system is perfect, until Togashi arrived to the final concept He made some mistakes in the introducing arcs.

Yes,there is really a lot of plotholes regarding nen.I initially though that Goreinu and razor ability were materialism since they were able to create out those creatures.Some ability tend to cross over their original nen type.During yorknew arc,I felt he was more strict with the nen rule.But after a while,he seem to have forgotten them.


Regarding the killua thing,that I really can't explain why he didn't know why he know about his grandfather ability yet didn't know it was nen.
Silva made him go to the heaven arena and fight to reach the 200 floor so that he will learn nen.Though killua didn't reach the 200 floor,thus he never learn nen then.Why don't they just teach him nen?

Watch out! Silver told Killuah to reach the 200th floor, but not to compete on it, as there are only Nen users (and Killuah did reach the 200th floor). He wanted to train him in real fights but not to introduce him to Nen.
Why he never was introduced to Nen, was probably his age. When Gon met him, Killuah was almost 12 years old. Maybe his brother and father wanted him to train his body and overall fighting abilities before he should learn. Moreover, they probably wanted to teach him Nen the slow way like Wing does with what's-his-name (Zooci?). So maybe they even started to make him meditate to slowly open the soul holes (?), but then Killuah escaped.
As we have seen on Greed Island, basic Ten and Ren training is based on hard physical work the body must be ready for.

The way I see it it was perfect from the beginning and it was later he messed up. It's another proof that Bug-arc is shitty to the core seeing how even Togashi wasn't thinking too much what he was writing (and what he had written).

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

I like NGL (no love it), it definitely has problems but calling it shitty is harsh I think. If it wasn't for a lot of these inconsistencies (and my dislike of the narration towards the invasion arc) NGL would be my favorite arc.

But yea, I think Togashi just didn't think it thought. I kind of hope the new show just changes it to something like "I recognize this its Granddad's aura" not I know this technique.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

I don't think Killua knowing his Grandfather's technique is that bad of a plot hole. He grew up with his family his whole life and wouldn't it be weird not to know a little of what your family is capable of? Also Killua is the type of kid who wouldn't care much about anything unless he's interested in it. We know a lot of things but sometimes were not to curious about what we know.. So to be honest i don't think it's that bad. lol

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

My guess guys is that the translation wasn't purely exact. I've know for a while that VIZ has more accurate translations then scans I've read but I'd have to collect some HxH tankoban which I'm in the process of doing. Wish I could show you some examples. I assume he meant more like it's presence feels like his grandfather not it was his ren or technique.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

Actually I only noticed this line WHILE reading the viz translation, and its roughly the same in the Edited Manga. That's granddad's Dragon drive. Killua knows the attack by name, my only theory is that killua has felt that aura before, and knows he has an attack by that name. Only now that he knows nen he understands it better, but maybe was witness to the attack as a child idk. I'm not sure really, I think its just a slight plot hole and a tiny one. Doesn't bug the hell out of me, just wonder if the new anime might change the wording slightly to have it make more sense.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

That's flipping amazing! Oh Morel, a man of my dreams. Mighta been my favorite character during NGL after Killua.

 

[Noonealive]

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

Yeah during the Chimera Ant Arc Morel was one of the characters that you could count when the going was tough. He is certainly one of my favorite characters and IMO he made the arc pretty interesting on top of what else was going on.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

I don't think the Killua thing is a plot-hole... after all, Killua (and everyone else in the room at the time) saw Illumi manipulating his face and other people(the judge) and no one seemed to question it, so I don't think Killua would question Zeno's ability (after all, there IS a lot of weird stuff in HxH world) . The dragon was materialized, thus normal people could see it, so Killua could see it and thought it was some "technique" from Zeno. Materialization is very close to Transformation, so it's totally possible.

Either that, or Killua thought that that/those dragon(s) were some magical creatures Zeno somehow had. Maybe he saw it once when he was little, asked Zeno "What were those dragons, grandpa?" and he answered "Friends." and it was left at that. When learning Nen years later, Killua realized that could only be a Nen ability, prior to the invasion, probably at some point when he was training. That's why he wasn't shocked and knew that it was Zeno's dragon.

One thing I noticed while looking at Zepile's introduction scene was that Gon mentioned putting your aura into a object was Ten. That is not wrong (Shu is an extension of Ten), but he talked like he knew how to do it. No plot-hole, since he never did say he could do that, it was just weird.

Another thing:

http://www.mangareader.net/207-14067-11/hunter-x-hunter/chapter-58.html

Gon's aura in those pages seems to be involving the rod. Either Ren also envelops any objects you're using or that was just the rod "piercing" the aura, for those panels to work.

I suddenly thought of an unrelated question: can you use Shu to reinforce materialized objects? I think not, since Ubo mentioned that Kurapika's chain could only be that strong if he was from Materialization or Manipulation, no mention to Reinforcement. That brought me to the question of why didn't Reinforcement matter if he was a Manipulator, then I figured it was because the chain's "strenght" was really strong, not the chain itself.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread

I think I'll just post it here.I found a lot of HxH fanart on zerochan.Though I do not know who are the artists that produced all these gorgeous fanart,I salute you.But I do know most of them are from pixiv.(I'll try to find whom they are but there is just too much)
I need to share it with everyone. Zerochan has this policy where you can't upload their image directly so you have to click it to see the full image.There is allot.
