Gyges posted:It could be that Chrollo still has the chain around his heart. The stipulation is that he can't use his Nen or he dies. But what if he's using someone else's Nen right now? Perhaps that's why he's doing all this Shonen explanation trope stuff, because he has to in order for the borrowed Nen to work.

Brought To You By posted:Not likely, the condition was that Chrollo couldn't use any nen. This would include any ability summoned through Skill Thief because activating skill thief counts as using nen. The bookmark is also an ability created from nen so it would trigger the sword. The other condition was that he no contact any of the Spiders, and since he clearly has Shalnark's ability (which Shalnark still had back when Chrollo got the chain), he's obviously made contact with them. And therefore lost his chain.

Been rereading the most recent chapter since it's so good. For once I'm glad an author put dessert before the main course. Really though, this chapter sums up one of my favorite things about Hunter x Hunter: nen. It's just so fluid and flexible while still inhabiting a kind of thoughtful structure. The whole concept of conditions and limitations is brilliant, yet so simple I'm surprised nobody else thought of it before Togashi. Togashi is straight-up one of best comic book writers in the world when it comes to fights. As someone who sincerely and earnestly enjoys a good fight on its own merits, I consider that high praise.

Also, vol. 33 is coming out in June in Japan. Hoping Togashi can squeeze out 34 before seeing his shadow and giving us six more weeks of winter.

It's hard to tell if Togashi is a mentally deteriorating madman or a complete genius, or if there isn't any difference between the two.

Chrollo's new power seemed really familiar and then I realized why I felt that way. Kimblee from FMA also had tattoos that had symbols of the Sun and Moon, and he could use them to create explosions as well. I wonder if it's an homage of sorts or if thing kind of stuff existed before.

I enjoy that in this world with magic chain powers, stretchy gum powers and shooting electricity out of your body, you can still get mad hosed up and killed by a big bug shooting you in the face with a gun.

So I'm on episode 130 or 131 in the anime. Gon just found out Kite is already dead and can't be healed by Pitou (and had that horrible breakdown  ). I was really impressed with the Netero fight, even if it wasn't a super long fight by any means. The planning and execution going into this whole battle is just really impressive. I'm wondering if we get to see Gon do any fighting. It looks like he's going to go nuclear on Pitou, but I can't quite tell at this point. I just hope he gets to do some crazy shounen stuff before the end of this arc, as we haven't really seen him do much (I think his last fight was the owl/bat ants).

One of the fun things about bungee gum is how he can attach things to other things, instead of just to himself, and control when that gum contracts. Could he use his Texture Surprise on his gum to hide it from nen-sight and set up traps?

TWIST FIST posted:Yeah but people can still see that using Gyo, I think. If this was a pen & paper rpg, one player would have to roll Gyo against the opponent's roll In. Whoever is stronger, the nen is revealed or stays hidden. Nen combat isn't only which skill (hatsu) is better, you are supposed to use gyo/in/kou/ryu a dozen of times (more?) in just a few seconds in a fight. if you are better at the normal aura manipulation techniques because you are genius like Hisoka or Ging, you will have an advantage. Hisoka showed a great in on Kastro's fight and in/zetsu in the fight against Goth.

That's not really how it's presented though. Unlike clashing auras when fighting, Gyo and En will always reveal aura being masked by In regardless of skill. It's just that most people don't use gyo on the eyes until they suspect something is up. (e.g. Uvo and the Hunter who runs the mafia's desk) since it lowers your defenses everywhere else. If what you say is the case, Killua, Zushi, and Gon would not have been able to see any of Hisoka's threads on that recording. Why they saw different numbers probably had more to do with overall observation skill than aura levels.

That's.... not quite true. We have seen that when they were learning Gyo, Killu, Gon and Zito? were seeing a different amount of the hidden Nen threads. While it's very possible that it just means "the Gyo wasn't complete", given Gyo is basically "how much you enhance your nen sense", that there was differences does kind of show that there can be more or less effective In and Gyo- and that Hisoka in that particular fight had a more effective In in some of the stuff he was doing than in some of the others. However, what's very probable is that the cut-off point where you see most of every In is quite low, as In is probably harder than Gyo.

Holy poo poo. Well , I got my wish. I only watched the next episode, but gon was super scary. I mean woo-hoo he beat pitou into a paste, but what's that going to do to him? And his loving arm! I can't process this.

That's what I was leaning towards. You have an incomplete Gyo which was what Zushi used. The completed Gyo which is what everyone else uses. And then you have your reaction time for activation Time for Gyo (I think moving aura around the body is called kyu). Once you can get aura focusing down you can use gyo and you will automatically be able to perceive anything g hidden with In. That'said consistent across the whole series. When you try to apply skill Checks where an opponent with a higher In score can outplay a weaker Gyo score it becomes something not similar to what is shown. Also, an effect of Gyo is enhancing aura percepion. But any instance of gathering a larger than normal amount of aura of a specific body part, without using Ken or ko counseling as gyo. Eyes are just the most common area.
