Because he didn't care about any of them. If you remember he told Meruem that his subordinates may have already died fighting his Royal Guard.

He's literally insane.

I don’t think he cared about them. He just wanted a good fight

Attached: anime for begginers.png (262x241, 94K)

Because Guts suffered way more than Gon

Because he has a license that lets him do reckless stuff. That’s what a hunter is.

Could he have killed a royal guard?

Netero was a psychopath, batshit insane.

That's funny as fuck

He only wanted to fight the strongest individual 1 on 1, although Youpi could have given him satisfaction.

>why didnt hunter do logical thing

Being batshit crazy is literally one of two requirements to pass the license exam, and the other is being strong enough to force others to comply with your insane decisions.

Nukes are really something you want to use as a last resort. You don't just casually nuke a palace full of civilians.

We also see that the nuke is inside Netero's body. Is it even confirmed that they have the missile-type of nuke too?

That’s just realism at its finest.

Netero was a fucking piece of shit, I think that's pretty much clear
>b-but what about the zodiacs!
Most of them are fucking piece of shits too, in general all hunters are fucking piece of shits, holy shit, who was the retard that let people like Hisoka turn into hunters.

He hates kids

He made that test to prove to Gon and Killua how shit-tier they are and why they shouldn't go. Gon was still determined to save Kite, so there was little Netero could do besides maybe punching him into a comma.

Why shouldn't Hisoka be a Hunter? Do you want him to kill hundreds of policemen to die trying to arrest him?

I think the real question is why didn’t Killua tell Gon about Godspeed so they could handle Pitou easily? Togashit just can’t stop fucking up, huh?

Killua didn't even want to kill Pitou

both gon and killua have been exposed to danger from the first chapters of the manga, nobody ever cared they are children

Because just like real life nukes are illegal. Thy had to do it in a way that could be hidden.

Actually the biggest plothole is why not using Ikalgo(that as far we know can access to EVERY ability the deceased owned in life) to kill Pitou, save the "little girl" and then go "save Kite", not that it was going to work but who cares, Kite was alive at the end anyways.

>waaaa why isn't the logic of my crappy fantasy shonen being applied here PLEASE TOGASHI THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

Because he knows he's in a shonen and the MC will always have an asspull to save himself.

Attached: 10e[1].jpg (400x390, 117K)

because that wouldnt of been as strong narratively to what we got. whenever something isnt done "logically" its usually for a story or stylistic reason

gon-san wasn't much of an asspull but alluka was

What corpse could Ikalgo take over to beat Pitou?

Kite barely managed to scratch her when she was a baby and even Leol would do nothing to Pitou.

>Killua didn't even want to kill Pitou
What the fuck are you talking about? Even if he didn’t care about Kite, Gon was going to die regardless and he had a new technique to prevent that.

Gon wanted to kill Pitou. The only thing Godspeed could be good for is grabbing Gon and running to another country. But Gon wouldn't want that.

Killua would have been faster, but he didn’t hit nearly hard enough to down a royal guard. Be he could do is annoy them while Gon charges his Rock.

His ability to age and reach his "max posssible potential" was completelly out of nowhere and made no sense at all.

He means kill Pitou while she's defenseless, while healing Komugi, than Ikalgo can use her power

It wasn't about aging or "max potential". He was simply given a vessel suitable to use the ridiculous amounts of nen that he just acquired from his sacrifice.

>why didn’t Killua tell Gon about Godspeed so they could handle Pitou easily?
Sasuga speedreader-kun.
Gon wanted to kill Pitou by himself, without anyone interfering. He explictly did not want to team up with Killua or anyone.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is how fast he gets it. But then again, Gon wasn't a POV in the Palace Invasion outside that chapter, so we don't really know how much he thought about it? and Zazan had already shown that you could maim yourself or a power up.

Sasuga fucking mongoloid, Gon wanted Kite back, that's why HE DIDN'T KILLED PITOU, Ikalgo promising Gon he could own Pitou abilities would had calmed down him.

Heh, whatever nerd. My bad, he wanted to FIGHT Pitou, not kill him. Re-read chapters 273 ff. and you'll see Gon's attitude. He clearly excluded Killua from the whole thing when he says it has nothing to do with him.

>Be he could do is annoy them while Gon charges his Rock
That’s what I meant. He could’ve paralyzed and killed Pitou, Youpi, and Pouf in a couple of hours with the help of Gon’s Jajanken, Chapter 7, and God’s Accomplice.

That’s why the Godspeed bullshit didn’t even make sense because it never accomplished jack shit when it actually made their extermination plan too damn easy.

You’re a speedreading mongrel. I never said that Gon’s intentions but it still would’ve been nice to know they could easily win after only one or two combos.

Stop being retarded when Killua knew he would be fighting Pitou even though he clearly stated they were going to die no matter what.

because nuking East Gorteau from orbit wouldn't have been kino, but tricking Meruem into his own grave was

Truth and loled. The world of Hunter x Hunter is hilariously fucked up when you think about it.

Why didn’t Netero make a Nen restriction against Chimera Ants like Kurapika against Phantom Troupe members.
Oh right I forgot that Togashi is a fucking hack.

This shit is fucking retarded.
>HUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I can power up to beat people who are infinitely stronger than me

All this does is allow asspulls from fucking everywhere in the future. It's a good thing Togashit is never doing to finish this mess before he dies. It's a fucking disgrace to his legacy after YYH.

>Why didn't a man who has been a fighter for hundreds of years restrict all his combat abilities to fighting a single threat
Because if he did that for every threat all of his abilities would've be restricted and useless centuries before he even saw the ants.

not saying I don't love YYH but it's also riddled with asspulls from pretty much start to end

>a single threat
A threat that he knows he is weaker than, and has no chance of winning.
>Hmmmmmmmmmmm I have this huge resource for power but fuck it dude I'm not going to use it.
It's blatantly pants on head retarded and show how much of a hack Togashi has become.

>>HUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I can power up to beat people who are infinitely stronger than me

Has there been any examples of this?

Pika is not infinitely powerful, in fact he'd probably lose to chrollo's book (which is even more broken)

Gon didn't power up enough to beat Pitou, he just gained his absolute potential

YYH was fucking shit dude. The Dark Tournament and the Three Kings were the last arcs he wrote that are worth giving a fuck about.

I'm sure netero would've loved to acquire an unfair last minute advantage that would make everything he struggled to achieve useless right after, after all that is the mindset of Isaac Netero every person who read this manga knows it very well, he would absolutely love to crush his opponent with a rule without breaking a sweat due to a rule he set moments before he met this new threat

>The Netero's new ability is shit and useless as a result

I'm not really sure what you would expect to happen. He was a goofy old man who wanted to challenge himself and knew he would finish the mission even if he lost his fight. He didn't really have a reason to go out of his way to do all the bullshit when it probably wouldn't have helped anyway.

LMAO how SEETHING are you right now?

You're entitled to your opinion but I disagree on nearly every point you tried to make

The fact you even bring up "boring fights" kinda seems like you missed the point of some of the arc

Attached: ec7.jpg (704x396, 38K)

Besides the fact that Gon dying doesn’t even make fucking sense unless it was for the sake of the Alluka asspull and that Killua never even wished Gon’s nen back, you’d think Gon would’ve done exactly what Kurapika did.

But of course Huntertards would say Gon was too frustrated and devastated to do so even though it obviously wasn’t even that fucking hard.

Netero just wanted a fair fight to test his strength more than anything, read slower next time. Once his individual desire was satisfied, he went for the kill to save humanity. Even with a restriction he wouldn't have been able to defeat Meruem, the gap was too much, the bomb was the surefire solution, brainlet. Plus restrictions don't work the way you think they work, you can't just pull one out of your ass conveniently at the last moment just because you know a guy you just met is stronger than you and you're about to die. Netero's relation to Meruem was nothing like Gon's with Pitou or Kurapika's with the spider, and putting his life on the line wouldn't have meant much if he knew he would've died fighting him if he didn't, you're not giving your life if you're doing it to avoid certain death. Gon gave up his bottomless potential, Netero was already at his peak.

The "restriction" or "vow" or "sacrifice" of Netero's abilities per se were driving himself to madness by being on the verge of going crazy throwing punches of gratitude every single day nonstop

I'm sure you guys were too dumb to get it but you don't keep making new hatsus and absurd restrictions to it that later in life. You're gonna say Chrollo's pagemark is an example but it's not (actually I don't even think you were really gonna say it or thought of this cause you just don't seem to pay enough attention to the manga as a reader). This one ability is just a complement he created later on. Kurapika made the restriction at the very beggining when he decided on his hatsu. You don't simply wake up one day after 50 years of learning Nen and developing a mindset for combat and say "oh I know I'm gonna invent some shit for this that goes agaisnt everything I've done up till now and makes no sense at all and goes agaisnt my own philosophy since I'm not that strong willed in winning battles without pushing my limits and using my actual strength acquired in training"
You guys should've realized by now that every question you guys make is very dumb since your mind is accostumed to shit manga made by nobrainer writers that can't build a world where characters actually feel real with tight held virtues and events seem to connect and make sense when all is said and done and connected altogether

If you mean Gon's powerup, it's explained exactly why he could do it and it's obvious from there why any specific character, expecially Netero would not be able to reproduce the feat.

If you mean Kurapika's chain jail. That is also easy to explain why Netero wouldn't create or modify an ability to replicate that. But at this point your obviously shitposting.

Do you even know the point of the arc? It was a mentally ill autistic faggot who wanted to be killed by demons because of a leaked tape.

You’re acting like the arc even tried to discuss the ramifications of the same tired old trope that’s been done millions of times.

Like I said look at these asspull excuses

Funny how the biggest asspull wasn't even from MC.

He could literally just add the restriction to his existing ability

I can't think of anyone who's done this.

you're the one reading every patient reply that we are so kind to give and kicking them as quick and hard as you can screeching in cope that the trash series you force yourself to like because of something shallow, definetly, like extremely detailed and "pretty" art (that your eyes are unable to capture how souless it is) or hot girls or popularity or the many reasons the nobrainers find to like all the crap that exists in the world, will never get even close

These replys are like saying why Vegeta shouldn't go Super Saiyan because Goku already did it. They are literally that retarded, and I am actually doing you a favor by even reading your rambling writings of a fanatic

I liked the atmosphere of the appending apocalypse, the OST, the animation and other things in the anime. Maybe the manga was lackluster but I thought the anime did a great job with the material they had. Sensui himself was pretty bland but it was fun seeing the series turn away from traditional shonen battles into running into booby traps constantly and trying to figure out what Sensui really wanted. Don't even care about the "all humans are bad trope" and didn't really like the asspulls myself, but it also wasn't the first time YYH had asspulls in their arcs

The asspulls were some of the worse in manga history and the atmosphere was more edgy than unique. And comparing a retard like Sensui to Toguro is like comparing Nardo to Gash Bell which should tell you alot about that arc.

>Literally proved
No you just pulled out reasons from your ass to suck up to Togashi. You dumb faggot.
It's been shown that you can make a restriction at any time for almost any reason as long as you have conviction in your heart, and the more severe your restriction the more power you will attain. Netero was already warned that he didn't measure up to the royal guard let alone Meruem. If he really wanted a fight that would be the ultimate fight of his life he could easily set a restriction against his future opponents, and go out with a bang which he ultimately was resolved to do in the first place since he planted a fucking nuke in his body.
Your rambling answers have literally been what I have called them out as since the beginning. Just asspull excuses for not using asspull techniques.
Now kindly kill yourself and stop posting here.

>You dumb faggot.
>It's been shown that you can make a restriction at any time for almost any reason as long as you have conviction in your heart
Name a time this happened. Restrictions are made when the ability is made, and if you add a new ability you add more restrictions at this time.

You have spontaneous ability manifestations like Cheetu making the crossbow but that's not a restriction. So name a moment someone made a restriction on the spot

You think normal humans could hurt Netero if he didn't use his nen abilities?

Is HxH the most overrated manga of all time? I honestly can't think of anything else that is rated this highly but is so mediocre.

The guy is like 100+ years old. His nen is already maxed out. Once you fully spec out your abilities, that's it. You can't just keep adding more. Kurapika made all of his when he first started out.

You didn't write shit all you did was suck the authors cock and deflect any valid reasoning with your own delusions
Literally Gon when he found out Kite was dead...
Are you fucking braindead?
Gon literally decided in an instant to not use nen again to be able to beat Pitou and it was instantly attained
Show me where this is stated. Specifically about Nen maxing out and not being able to add more to it.

>Show me where this is stated.
Okay. Hisoka vs Kastro. It's specifically said by both Wing and Hisoka that Kastro maxed out his nen abilities on the clone ability and could no longer make more.

Kurapika?

In his current state...
Where does it say that with more training he wouldn't be able to improve it

Wing literally says that he exhausted all of his talent. Hisoka says that his memory is overloaded and he can never learn more.

Is HxH the best work of fition of all time? I honestly can't think of anything else in any other type of media that is even remotely close.

Attached: kura phone.jpg (1280x720, 250K)

>Gon literally decided in an instant
He stewed in his own anger and self loathing for an entire month and he made that restriction at the same time he made his ability which was my point. But there aren't any instances of someone with an existing ability just making a new restriction on command in the midst of the fight.

Going off of as well, Netero was an already seasoned fighter who had culminated his own martial arts and nen potential with his statue and his zero hand. Gon was a kid with a lot of potential that had been constantly stated time and time again. He could make a new power based from his anger with the cost of his own nen and life and get something out of it. By the stories logic, Netero did exactly what he needed to do, get himself psyched back up for one last fight and shove a nuke in his chest in case things didn't go well.

Now pass over this post in a dismissive fashion because you want to complain about a non issue

I just went to read this stupid shit, and nowhere does Hisoka say you can't increase your memory capacity or add existing power to it with a restriction.

Also I didn't see anything from Wing at all regarding Kastro. All he says is that with training your nen abilities will grow stronger, and that you can also at any time add more abilities to your repertoire.

Leave the human failure alone, we made his day already, gave him the attention he was seeking, his mom will be proud, move on now

Yep thanks for showing you've been trolling or just ignorantly disregarding facts about your favorite trash series
Even without the use of his nen abilities. Netero could probablyu talke on most nen users, but I guess people like Zeno would be able to beat him without his ability
Still I don't see anything regarding setting a vow or restriction to make the ability stronger. If Kastro really wanted to he could just make it so he could only use it in fights at HA to negate it's negative affects.

bros, i can't go a summer without togashi. he better be back.

That's not memory he's describing, that's concentration
Togashi is just stupid
You can call a turd whatever you want, it's still a turd

This. The point of a hunter's license is making it so that people can't tell you what to do. You're qualified to do fuck all, and you're your own responsibility. The Chairman upholds that mentality, and Gon's repercussions aren't the association's problem.

So racists making vows are the most formidable nen opponents?
I mean a good amount of the current PT have nothing to do with the Kurta, and Kurapika has no reason to hate them.

yeah you gotta remember how to do that but the fact that he was able to function at all showed his memory was fucking fine
learning isn't a finite ability
unless you're saying that it's finite in the hunterverse
then that'd be pretty pathetic

This is a consistent concept that's explained multiple times. Nen powers have a "maximum" mastery, at which point you can't go any further. A Nen contract can help, but you can't "unlearn" things and retroactively add a contract once you've already hit 100%. Adding a contract is something you do to a new ability that you're learning.

Attached: hxh mastery.png (517x700, 341K)

didn't want to start a new thread but will gon get his nen back?

Chrollo added to his ability at a much later time than when he got it, and it changed the activation requirements as well

Chrollo is still young. He wasn't at 100%. He didn't have to unlearn anything. He just developed a new ability on top of his original.

He takes the difficulty of preforming the technique and relates it back to memory. I agree that the translation I remember seemed way more in line with his failings being in preforming the technique in the there and now, but that translation itself is pretty clear that Kastro just couldn't learn beyond what he had already done without substantial gains.
We know physical qualities have to be committed to memory for conjuration and transmutation alone. And judging by how certain characters have made more techniques later on, and how Ging handles it, it's clear that learning isn't finite, but the amount you can handle at once to a good enough degree to make a technique out of is, but scales up with training.

How do you know Netero was at 100% and not 90% of his ability. Please source he was at 100%

Eventually Togashi will pull a Raizen

The guy was literally fucking over 100 years old and stated to be a "master" of Nen, the most powerful Nen user in the world. You don't become a "master" without hitting 100%.

At the very least, there's no reason to just make the assumption that he still had room for improvement when that's never stated.

Depends what Togashi wants to do with the story. The way he's set it up, there's no way he'll live long enough to finish things, but he might do an anti-climax where they never reach the DC and the story switches back to Gon.

So you don't know...
But you will claim to know anyway...
That 's not very different from saying Goku is 50 years old, and is a martial arts master. There's no way he could become more powerful.
It's a fucking shonen from Shonen Jump

>the most powerful Nen user in the world
Also he's not.
>royal guard
>Meruem
>adult Gon
He also states himself that there are other hunters who have become more powerful and surpassed him.

You're really obsessed with comparing a completely different series to Dragon Ball.

Netero wanted to have one last good fight before he kicked the bucket. Likely a reason why the Zoldycks fucked off almost immediately; leave Netero to have his egotistical 1v1.

>compairng shonen tropes to a shonen series is irrelevant
Seriously. You really didn't just say that.

>you can't just pull one out of your ass conveniently at the last moment
Netero had enough time to make a contract before his fight with Meruem.
>"oh I know I'm gonna invent some shit for this that goes agaisnt everything I've done up till now and makes no sense at all and goes agaisnt my own philosophy since I'm not that strong willed in winning battles without pushing my limits and using my actual strength acquired in training"
You are just describing what Netero though when he put a bomb in his heart.

You're the one trying to assume that Netero could have done something that there was no indication he could do, and that he was very unlikely to be able to do. Kastro hit 100% (albeit with shitty stat allocation) at a much younger age.
I said "was". He was indisputably the most powerful at one point.

Goku is a sayian, his race do not get frail when older and grow stronger everytime someone kick their asses.

Plus 50 year old is pretty different from 100 year old.

>character who has reached the peak of his life and then got old
>being the same as Goku who just gets stronger each time around because Toriyama is a hack writer
If anything Netero is Roshi before Toriyama retconned him in Super in your retarded analogy. He's a man who has already reached his peak in terms of martial arts and ability and has long since passed the torch of "world's strongest" to others he feels are more qualified. He's fullfilling his obligation as the chairman as well as making one last bid at finding the opponent he's desired his whole life.

Like I said there's zero indication you cannot add an additional requirement to the ability to improve it. Using Chrollo as an example but he doesn't count for some reason. Apparently because he's not 100% but you know other character are 100% for reasons...........
>as well as making one last bid at finding the opponent he's desired his whole life
Netero was committed to dying beforethe fight, so why wouldn't he be committed to never using nen again before the fight? There's zero reasons to show he couldn't become stronger with a vow.
So why not be at a maximum power during that fight by making a restriction

Formatting was fucked

you guys have to realize kuroro is still a very young nen user, not even in his prime.

>So why not be at a maximum power
He got into maximum power by steeling his resolve, meditating in the mountains, and putting on his favorite shirt and he was confident that his zero hand would work if nothing else would. Keeping in mind that his zero hand will exhaust any aura he has remaining. The only thing extra he brought was the insurance policy that the V5 mandated.

Pitou being a girl have been finally confirmed, Togashi left the hints there but nobody noticed them until now, remember how at the beginning Pitou looks way more androgynous but after learning nen her appearance start leaning towards a more feminine shape, this is due to nen nature changing her body depending on her wishes and personality, Pitou TURNED into a girl after deciding her own nature, nen can turn you into a woman and even make a man end up getting pregnant, that's what nen is about, getting Pitou pregnant, Togashi is a genius.

He definitely wasn’t at 100% given
>He’s an enhancement type
>The Hatsu he used seemed to be Transmission and Emission
So he only used 80% of his potential.

If you're referring to Emperor Time, Kurapika's eyes were already able to turn red as a normal/non-nen ability. Emperor Time has a restriction that it activates when his eyes turn red and it shortens his life by an hour every second, he wasn't adding a restriction to an ability he already had. As far as I know there's nothing that would suggest any of the restrictions on his chain abilities weren't set when he created them. There's definitely not a character who's suddenly able to add restrictions to abilities they've had for years like suggests.

The concept of "potential" doesn't come from battle shonen but from sports shonen. Everyone has a natural limit that marks just how much strength they can get before an exercise stops netting them gains. And once you reach that point, you just get weaker. Ask any athlete.

>why didn't Netero give himself more restrictions
Besides everything everyone else has said, even if Netero did put more restrictions on himself, he wouldn't really be as strong as a Rose. Gon-san was already a 1-use only, I sacrifice everything restriction. And even that was pathetic compared to the size of the explosion we saw from the bomb.

Stated by the narrator in the flashback, went to the mountain because he reached his limit

a man is in control of his own destiny, a boy has a right to dream.

Kek, Pitou's appearance changed the same way Pakunoda and Melody's did, he just draws them differently as time passes. Chrollo's face changes in every panel

If this nigga just wanted a good fight (given he said the DK wasn’t the type of fight he wanted), why didn’t he take a vested interest in people he thought had the potential to give him the fight he wanted like Gon/Killua? Training them personally would have given him the fight he wants in like, 5 ~ 10 years tops.

Underated comments,Killua and Gon volunteer knowing full well they might die.The only one that even care in the slightest was propaply Morel.

I think he would want to be surprised by the world, not manufacturing his opponents.

>he reached his limit
But then how did he improve his limit then at the mountain?

Without the King, the guards wouldn't even be motivated to keep mass killing people. He only needed people to distract the guards, not to kill them, killing the king was the priority. Also, Gon and Killua were tested and approved by Morel, and Netero is notorious for not giving a fuck even for hunter standards, he let someone that was disqualified from the exam for killing an examinator take the exam again, and he gave the position of Vice chairman to a guy that was openly undermining him.

The exact quote is Netero went into the mountains because he had reached his upper limits at the time. The decade or so he spent in the mountains marked him finally awakening to nen and at an unspecified time later in his life he would go on to found the martial arts school that teaches nen formally.

He had reached his limit, but through nen expanded that further although he himself feels like he had peaked out a second time.

If he wants to be surprised he would have liked the DK, because it’s got guys like the Ant king everywhere to fight.

He did spar with the Zodiacs, which includes Gon's dad, someone with presumably a similar potential. But a fight with a student is probably too friendly to be a real fight.

They're illegal, but I doubt any country would give a fuck if faux North Korea gets nuked. They didn't even know what the King was about to do. Even if Netero and the hunters are insane, killing so many innocent people just to make things easier was out of the question, and since no military forces would take the risk of facing the ants, they had the freedom to do things the way they wanted.

>There's 0 reason not to
Hence why it wouldn't be worth anything? His dying move is Zero Hand anyway, you're already given an example of what he can muster (near) suicidally and it didn't achieve much.
And partially because it's not in his character. When he went back after Meruem was born, he was already given a win condition by the government because they couldn't afford to lose. He wanted his fight for its own sake.

Through training that almost led him to madness, as Meruem said (also adding that he's a rare case of someone who's exceeded his limit), nothing to do with restrictions or other nen technicalities

Wtf did you smoke, he already knew nen by that time, he must have, don't start with this bullshit

There are no humans in the DC, so whatever Chimera Ants evolve into is probably beastly. The King is intelligent, so it can be a real fight.

With a Hunter license, other Hunters can't hunt him, and the only people that can stop Hisoka are either Hunters, even more dangerous psychos, or both.

People would care a lot if NK was nuked irl out of the blue. And not just China.

There was a poll in South Korea that showed that if the US attacked NK without a warning, South Koreans thought that SK should retaliate against the US for risking their lives.

The DC doesn't have Ant Kings, it has Lovecraftian horrors like Alluka that can instantly kill you because you gave a wrong answer to a question.

user it cannot be any more clear in that flashback. Netero was a martial artist who at the age of 40 had reached his peak. He then went into the mountains and through meditation and focus started the process that opens his aura nodes and we see that his aura was having an effect on his surroundings. But the entire time Netero has no idea why he's able to punch faster and faster and the narration states he had reached his physical and martial peaks. Nothing about nen peaks.

The Dark Continent is just nature fighting nature, he wants to fight a strong opponent and instead found mountain eating graboids and dinosaurs alongside other crazy shit.

Yeah, SK said that because they would have been at risk. The only neighbours from East Gourteau are a fake country which is a front for illegal activities and was decimated by the Ants, and Meteor Island. Admittedly, pissing off the people from Meteor Island might be a bad idea, but nothing close to China or South Korea.

Hunters could hunt him if he did anything particularly bad. But until Chrollo killed him, Hisoka had only been shown killing people who had attacked him.

He's been to the dark continent and specifically said it was shitty for finding enemies to challenge. The dark continent is genrally nature taken to a dangerous eldritch extreme and you can't punch a disease to death.

What? NGL is the westernmost part of the island. Then you have Saint iforgot, West Gorteau, and then East Gorteau. Meteor City is to the northwest of NGL.

>speedwatching
God you pathetic shoneniggers make me laff everytime. You speedwatch and then go "huuwhy did this happen i dont get it this show is gay and dumb"
To understand the complexities of the Chimera Ant Arc, you have to rewatch each scene AT LEAST 3 times. Every moment is meticulously crafted with forethought thats never before been seen in "shonen".
Fucking kill yourself or get educated by studying Togashi's masterwork.

You can see the aura around him in the chapter. That's nen if I have ever seen it, not even going further than this even tho there are other reasons, but that's all you need, if you don't wanna give in after this then everything else is pointless, he's literally shown surrounded by aura.

Dudes like 200+ years old. Of course he’s not exactly all there.

There's no guarantee Ikalgo would be able to use Dr. Blythe. They had no knowledge of any restrictions the ability has and I don't think Ikalgo has the medical knowledge to make proper use of it.

>You can see the aura around him in the chapter
All things have aura user, nen is the utilization of that aura. The point of the flashback is to show his own awakening to nen using the principles his own dojo teaches. Meditation and awareness of the body. In the flashback itself the only mention to any energy is the use of 'chi' not 'aura'. He's using the principles of martial arts not of a nen-based school of thought. And the flashback refers to him finally coming down as the "birth of a true monster" which is fitting because he was already a beast and finally earned bigger fangs and broken past his physical limits.

The ability is doing its thing, he doesn't need to have medical knowledge, that's nonsense, we've already seen how it works with that type of nen, it would be useless otherwise. Don't spout nonsense trying to cover supposed plot holes, if you don't have a convincing argument just stfu instead of coming up with retarded theories in an attempt to defend the series, you only make it worse

I'm not gonna answer after this because you clearly just don't wanna admit it and that's just how the internet works, people would rather die than recognize they made a mistake. All things have aura is bullshit, aura is life energy and only living creatures have it, we know what aura is and that one there is ten if not ren, you have to have your pores opened and already know how to use nen to be that way, without a doubt. Shown at the beginning of the training as well. All the other considerations are inconclusive and don't prove a thing, it's just your interpretation. Doesn't change the fact that he's drawn performing ten

Where is it stated that Dr. Blythe's usage is unconscious? Pitou became an expert on human anatomy prior to developing her hatsu and based it on her interests. Taking someone's hatsu is no guarantee they can make use of it. Killua's hatsu would be useless in anyone else's hands if it didn't kill them as soon as they took it.

The Hunter exam is a terrible metric for what it does.

>I'm not gonna answer after this because you clearly just don't wanna admit it
Nice projection. Make sure to be true to your word after this
> All the other considerations are inconclusive and don't prove a thing, it's just your interpretation
>not mentioning aura and instead chi isn't conclusive
>not mentioning he had grown frustrated with any supposed walls in learning/mastering nen isn't conclusive
Like I said, he hadn't been awakened to his own nen at this point. The "fake" principle of Ten is literally defined as focusing the mind and visualizing the goal which is exactly what Netero is doing in that flashback. I'm still waiting for that smoking gun that he knew all about nen and wasn't on the cusp of developing an awareness of it but so far you're saying that he at least knew ten but even the story doesn't support any awareness of it.

dumb animefag

Nobunaga will surely get a semi-decent fight in this arc right? I know he’s kind of a meme character, but I don’t think he’ll go down super easily if he ends up fighting Hisoka.

Based hunterchads

More like how the fuck are all 12 Zodiacs available to journey for months/years on the boat, but there is not a single one available to help Netero and the kids with the Chimera Ants.

Zodiacs came out of nowhere

Go watch episode 137. They explain why.

Millions of civilians were gathered in front of the castle. A nuke would have killed them all and caused a major political crisis. Plus, he wanted to fight Meruem, even at the cost of everyone else life.

Because Gon is the MC!

It was a suicide mission

Reread yorknew. Skilled masters in a field can 'use nen' even if they are not nen trained, because their work means so much to them that they subconsciously apply their life and aura to it. In the same way that the real eggs had aura from the artists, nero's focus punches used his aura and eventually unlocked his nen.

Netero was already a skilled martial artist when he went into the mountains. How would you know if he didn't awake Nen way before starting those 10k punches of gratitude?

The clear hint is that he focuses his 'chi', but also his aura is wild and uncontrolled, leaking into the area around him, while the first thing a nen user learns is how to keep their aura from leaking.

Yeah, re-reading the chapter, you're right. His control of Ten seems that of a beginner.

>Why didn’t Netero make a Nen restriction against Chimera Ants like Kurapika against Phantom Troupe members.

It doesn't really work like that.
What he MAY have been able to do is turn into a sort of Gon-san, except for him, it may be Netero-san. But the obvious consequences of using such a technique would be death (similar to how Gon was in a coma after using Gon-san).
And if he's going to die anyway, it doesn't really matter whether he uses a nuke or nen
