Discussion Properties of Nen: The Unknown

[Diivil]

I feel like if togashi comes back and continues the manga, this is going to be explained further which might lead into things like world trees or something like that maybe? what do you think?
any other ideas or thoughts?

Though Nen is influenced by one's mental condition and emotional state, it is difficult to judge exactly how these factors affect Nen. In certain instances, these factors may even lead to one exceeding the 100% limit cap. However, one using his powers beyond their capacity will ultimately cause strain. Potentially, this could become either a weakness or fatal to the user.

Nen also does not necessarily disappear following death. In fact, sometimes death can reinforce an ability's strength. If someone dies holding a deep grudge, his Nen will remain and seek out the object of his hatred.

I think it has to do with souls. It was heavily alluded to in recent chapter that there is some kind of power to souls that is not yet fully known, but there was hint of connection with the world tree yggdrasil.

I really want to know what was Gon's condition when he fought Pitou. Nen motifs were similar to Outside drawings too.

If the whole thing is psychological then I don't think there is much to look into it to be honest. Nen is something that comes from within, it can be trained, and it reacts to the emotions and feelings of the user at large. If its about feelings then the unknown factor in itself is subjective. It'd perhaps be like two artist with equal ability when making stuff but one makes a masterpiece and the other made something generic. Its not like the masterpiece was a god given thing, he just went with what he had and came up with it.
