Generally, any Nen subject that's been a plot point in a previous arc is just background stuff from then on.

It's not like anyone focuses on aura distribution since Greed Island. Don't worry about it.

Except for nen getting stronger after death, which has gotten stronger each arc

I think that's less that it's not a thing anymore and more that it doesn't need to be specifically stated for the most part except in cases like Fei Tan not covering himself at all and being hurt by Zazan.

it's a basic skill that experts do without thinking and scrubs don't really do at all. so, not really much to say about it.

What? No it's constantly been there, it's just more unless it's an important observation in a fight ( see Knuckles vs Gon, Gon vs Bat and Owl, lots of fights during the Chimera Ant Arc now that i think about it) the characters aren't gonna mention it.

If you trust the translation, it is stated to be a "side effect" so technically it would be stronger for the dolphin to be able to insert an ability and then cleanly remove the Nen using ability of the target after termination of effect.

that would go into memory manipulation, and steal chain is quite stupid enough already.

Yeah, I'm just saying that you (Kurapica) could use some twisted logic that "leaves target able to use Nen" is a condition to enhance the effect of Steal Chain.

That would be hilarious. He's so obsessed with penance that he thinks an unintended benefit of his power deserves another condition. The guy with the most broken powers is overly concerned with balance.

No Pitou had white hair in the manga. But some people before color was revealed interpreted as blonde.

I would like to say a genuine congratulations to Yoshihiro Togashi for not only knocking out roughly an entire volumes worth despite his health conditions... which may not sound especially out of the ordinary for him when he comes off hiatus, but while doing this without scribbling while Dragon Quest XI is ready and waiting for him, calling into his ear

play me...
play me...
i'm on ps4 and 3ds...
you can play me twice in unique experiences...

i'm supposed to be really good...
play me togashi... play me...
i'm probably replayable as hell too...
you're only drawing krapika he's not even cool like leorio...

By "studio" I basically meant "the room in his house with all his drawing stuff" because I get the impression that's how a lot mangaka operate.

some have a separate studio elsewhere, because they need the room for all those assistants to work. i think togashi probably works from home, though. he hates assistants for whatever reason, sometimes his wife helps him, and he has mobility problems.
