Cause they don't teach it to people other then punching people with it which will almost always kill them.

Maybe it's like the whole "hunter pass" deal: the top of the tower is a trap to eliminate the greedy and lap-of-luxury seekers from the ranks of the actual Doing poo poo Hunters.

The same way that people in Dragon Ball are surprised when energy blasts happen

But doesn't that announcer lady talk about nen? And also the fighters talking out loud about their nen techniques? Wouldn't the audience hear any of this?

Possibly not. She never actually refers to is as Nen or anything like that, just as tricks or techniques. I think her and a lot of the audience don't know the technical aspects, they just see it as crazy fighting stuff.

Saitama would kill for the chance to experience what Gon just did with that one punch.

Which is his whole problem, I guess.

Compared to these super serious grimdark characters, this guy is a breath of fresh air who won't last to the end of the episode, will he?

EDIT: Huh, apparently he gets off much better than that.

I know almost nothing about Naruto and have been watching the last few weeks, and this guy was definitely a step up. He's probably the only likable Naruto character I've seen.

also, didn't we literally JUST see this bit with the guy using an EMP MANPADS?

also also, why did he have to climb OUT of his warmech to use that? Wouldn't anti-mech munitions like that be sensible as on-board ordnance, rather than a man-portable launcher the pilot has to use separately?
Because if you use it while inside your mech, you're stuck inside your mech for the duration of the emp too. And given that she used her psychic fin funnels to destroy his mech seconds later, staying outside was a really good idea.

You know, when you watch these old shows on an HDTV, the clash between old cels and new animation, especially in the same frame, becomes much more apparent.
