I don't think it's arguable at all. It would be a silly way of conveying a power up and there's no narrative purpose to it whatsoever. Everything you're saying is just based on the word "stronger" being used. Well, it may be a translation thing.

So why did Hisoka remark about nen being stronger after death in response to the revelation about Sun and Moon remaining in Skill Hunter despite the death of its creator? I'm sure nen can be stronger, in the sense of being more powerful, post-death but that doesn't mean Bungee Gum became more...

Seems more like a psychological thing than a nen thing with Gon. The oath and restriction which made Gon's transformation possible was merely the manifestation of the promise Gon made to himself. Gon's inability to use nen is probably therefore a mental block of sorts. This isn't the sort of...

"Stronger through death" clearly means the nen has acquired some sort of permanence after the nen user had ceased to exist, sort of like a light bulb remaining lit with its power source cut off. In the case of Sun and Moon, this means that all sun/moon marks that were conjured prior to the...

It's stronger in the sense that it's acquired permanence. Usually, conjured or transmuted stuff dissipates when the nen user is no longer able to sustain said stuff. Being dead would be a good example of that. However, in certain circumstances, a user can imbue his nen with such powerful will...

Honestly, I've only read the MS scans and I have no idea what's going on in the Dark Continent arc. In particular, I can't really make out what Ging and Pariston were on about and how V5's expenses would skyrocket thanks to Kakin's actions.

What's so dishonorable about killing the referee? There are no rules in the deathmatch format, so killing the referee wouldn't have prevented enforcement of any rule. Now, if it was understood between them that they were going to fight under the usual points system, then, obviously, killing...

Either Hisoka miscalculated the speed at which Chrollo could make puppets OR there were a number of dormant puppets in the crowd before the fight begun. I don't think the other Spiders actually helped. That would be pure BS. But, anyway, it's still BS, in my opinion, if Chrollo had puppets...

The gum can be attached to different surfaces and manually made to contract, i.e. one end of gum to opponent, one end of gum to wall, maximum contract. The contraction strength is then probably only limited by Hisoka's nen in transmutation, not reinforcement; hence, Machi, an enhancer, rendered...

LOL, yes, to the point where he ignored the incoming call and just stupidly held Cortopi's head. He's probably screwed anyway, to be honest, since he's a manipulator with no hatsu vs. a transmuter, especially one of Hisoka's caliber.

Not just CPR but restarting the heart as well. Somehow, those two things were enough to bring him back. Anyway ...

Abengane would certainly be very useful in an anticipated match-up against Kurapika. Interestingly, it seems like Kurapica remains unaware that the Judgment Chain on Chrollo was dispelled, which makes some sense seeing that the exorcism seems to be more like nen transference from the host to a...

Really, really unexpected resolution to the right but i don't agree that it was a huge asspull that breaks nen system and renders death trivial. The only reason why Hisoka's little trick worked is because he took minimal damage from Sun & Moon. Now, clearly, he got his throat blown to shreds...

I don't think that's true. He was fair (or so he said anyway) against the assassin with the knife in York Shin; here, he talks about style, and it would be most unstylish to cheat. Furthermore, the Spiders in general like their battles to be fair, as evinced by the way they fought against the...

I agree that it would've been lame for the reader without the explanations but Chrollo's half truths just seem like outright deception to me. I suppose the line about there being something "wrong with this blood" is somewhat consistent with the idea that Sun & Moon actually turns people into...
