Real talk: Kurapika still has emperor time so he could always try punching things really hard if words don't work.

Kytrarewn posted:I'm not sure that's a matter of "no doubt". What does a baby really want? Survival. It wants milk and a clean diaper with all of its heart and soul. Laser-focused. Yeah, Wobble's beast basically has no rules at all for creation no matte what the stated rules are. You can use babiness to argue weakness or strength in most rules lawyering. Narratively, I'd think that a super weak nen beast would be the way to go. Either it'll be one of those things where on paper it's weak as gently caress, but when properly used is OP or it'll start weak and grow stronger.

Really we know jack about nen beasts aside from the fact that one of them is made of titties. Their abilities, limitations, intelligence, effective range, etc. None of that has even been hinted at yet. This is a whole new branch of nen and nen was already ridiculously varied and complex.

The beast is made entirely out of scarlet eyes, Kurapika is super conflicted.

For what it's worth, the previous king has a nen beast that looks like what a baby might produce, so I'd lean towards Woble's beast being strong rather than weak.

So basically you believe the whatever nen beast the baby could get is like Puu from Yu Yu Hakusho at this point and may evolve further later?

(Dude took 8 wives after all.) They are representaions of their masters soul, so Tserriednich's will probably be hosed up as well. Likely all gory and dead looking.

Bad Seafood posted:Not to be untoward, but given Kurapika's choice of career, I simply assumed he put the screws on them. He's not a very intimidating person at a glance, so I could totally see some guy going "Yeah, sure, over my dead bod-OKAY OKAY I'M SORRY, TAKE THE EYES, JUST LET ME GO." For all his principles, he's effectively a mafia don now and does things their way. My point in that post was that he can't really use his underworld weight in this case - the prince isn't someone he can threaten or forcibly persuade in the same way he likely dealt with the other flesh collectors. quote:Regarding his powers, while it's possible he could simply invent new ones to cover for his fixation on the Spiders, I've always been under the impression it wasn't that easy to simply change or add on to your nen once you'd decided what you wanted to do with it, or everyone would be coming up with secondary powers to cover for their weaknesses. Either way, whether you agree with me or not, the key thing I hope we can all agree on is that this is a more delicate situation than Kurapika's ever been in before, and he'll likely have to find some creative ways of resolving any conflicts or missteps that arise. When I look at how Killua developed his lightning techniques I can see how someone who finds an ability that suits them can develop and change it over time. For Killua he started off just being able to generate electricity and between Greed Island and the Chimera Ant's arc he figures out how to take that same electric aura and create his pre-programmed motions, and god speed form; but they were not a part of his original specifications, rather a logical growth of that initial idea. This brings me back to Kurapika. He's a conjurer who has created 5 different chains that all share the same base, but offer different functions based on the piece at the end. His original goal was to take down the Phantom Troupe but failed to kill more than two members and both of those were suicide. We don't know what's happened to him in the intervening time but over a year has passed and it seems that he's dedicated his time and resources to tracking down the remaining pairs of eyes. It does bear mentioning that he always keeps his chains manifested and he doesn't show more than the usual 5 in the most recent chapters so it may be that he just used Judgement Chain on those two people to get them to hand over the chains. But what I'm thinking is that he created another chain or a function to a previous one to add to his arsenal that can only be manifested under the condition that he's in contact with someone. Judgement chain didn't have that restriction as far as we've seen and chain jail can't be used on anyone else but members of the Phantom troupe. All in all, yes. Whatever he's going to do is going to require absolute discretion. He's not going after just any politician, he's going after a crown prince of a nation recently added to the ranks of the former V5 on a mission to "colonize" the forbidden continent. Even if he doesn't have a new ability, I'm really interested to see how he's going to go about all this, while also dealing with the battle royale about to erupt.

Brought To You By posted:I agree that he loses his weight as a mafia boss, and that the two previous people he mentioned could have just been intimidated into doing so. However, since Kurapika was willing to have the rest of his group call off their bodyguard duty in the event that he can at the very least shake hands with the 4th prince. By the way, can I mention the only beef I have with the chimera ant arc is that in the lead up to the invasion Morel is tired and not at 100%, and Bisky doesn't use her masseuse ability to get him battle ready?

Yeah, Kurapika's last chain is a huge mystery; he's bound some of his abilities up in such tight restrictions that, between that and Emperor Time, Togashi could pull out nearly anything for the final one.

Leorio's ability is actually insanely good as shown by Ging. Granted, Ging is top 5 in the world at using Nen but the multiple warp punch and the ultrasound he came up with on the spot based on Leorio's ability kinda points to the potential it has.

Didn't Ging say that developing the ultrasound was probably what led him to developing the warp punch, actually?

For all of the talk about the Princes, there's also a few other big plot threads going on at the same time that'll be happening including the thing with Beyond and possibly whatever Gon's going to do. In any other author's hands, I'd imagine it'd be a clusterfuck, but with Togashi, he'll probably make it work.

I wouldn't be surprised if the entire arc is plotted put in full already, maybe that's what he spends his hiatus time doing.

That is a fair point; while I was saying that the boat ride/prince arc may well be its own full thing before the Dark Continent arc, the business with Beyond, Pariston, and Ging is probably going to go down on the boat as well, unless they decide to lie low until they actually get to the continent. Things have the potential to get really crazy.

Well he's a doctor, he can probably send his waves inside people and surgically alter them. With his knowledge, he could become baki-esque in his ability to fix people: "oh yeah, i increased your white blood cell count by 10 000x, gave you increased blood flow in your legs and also stimulated your adrenal glands into overdrive. you're good to go!"

Yeah Leorio created his ability to be used in doctoring, and like a lot of the other non-specific abilities it's sort of weak but open to a lot of creative uses. Remember that Hisoka is one of the strongest characters and his ability is super useless at first look.
