Why is he so strong?

Genetics from his stupid strong relative who's currently wandering around a world where the Chimera Ants are barely mid tier, and his dad planned most of the entire series just to make Gon stronger.

Because the full potential of the average person is fucking nothing. You might as well just let them get to their primes naturally and be used at a foot soldier at that rate

He is the first gay MC in shonen history, of course he is a Gary Stu

They're barely an association, so they don't really have enemies. You'd be talking about the government policitians who give orders to Netero, who indeed told him to get rid of the ants no matter what, but they don't know nor care about the specifics of nen. I mean they fucking suicided Netero the strongest hunter ever with a bomb and didn't send an army of hunters at the Chimera Ants.

The Hunter Organization is mostly full of mercs. They don't really have any direct enemies except for what they feel like fighting or are paid to fight, and moreover the requirements to reach Kurapika's overly specific attack powers would be so high that only an insignificant portion of the population would be able to reach it.

only Killua is gay

What are the chimera ants doing in the dark continent at the moment?

Mercs and most certain type of different fields they work and pursuing. Not all children can or will become hunters, after all the HA are not Jedi.

My wife and I had just left our son with the babysitter so we could go out to dinner.
As I was ordering a delicious looking roast duck, She asked me if I ever remembered when we first started going out.
I was shocked for one, because no, I did not remember, and two it felt like she was bringing up a subject I didn't like talking about, especially at dinner.
Before she could get to the forbidden topic though, my cellphone rang so I quickly used the opportunity to cut the conversation short.
It was my good buddy and fellow mangaka Kentaro Miura-san. I suspected he was going to tell me about another one of his all nighters with his idols, but my dear wife didn't know that so I feigned it as a buisness call and temporarily excused myself.

Walking out of listening distance from my better half, I thanked Miura-chin (my nickname for him) and asked why he called.
Sure enough it was about his idol games.
I laughed, but a little too loudly that my precious wife shot me a glance.
I told Miura-chin that I had to go or else I'd be on a boat ride to hell (www) and that I was looking forward to staying the night again that weekend.
When I sat down our food had arrived and she asked me who had called.
"Oh that was my editor asking how I was feeling. He made that joke about Gon being the main character again." I told her.
I didn't want to lie to my beautiful wife, but she always gets pretty jealous whenever me and Miura-kun are hanging out.
We closed our eyes and said our pre-meal ritual.
"Oh my rubber nen, thinking isn't going to get us anywhere."

We enjoyed our meal and thankfully she didn't bother me with our previous conversation.
After that we went to the doctor who confirmed my frail condition and suggested I get plenty of bed rest.
We went home, thanked the babysitter for her services and watched tv together.
My lovely wife asking me if I was going to work on HunterxHunter at all, but all the food was making me sleepy.

I told her I'd doodle a little bit and get a good headstart in the morning. I started to feel uneasy and wondered if there was something wrong with our dinner.
I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I either blacked out or fell asleep on my way to the room where I draw.
I woke up a few hours later in my bed and asked them what happened.
It turns out, just thinking about drawing makes me weak and liable to pass out.
Can you imagine?

So anyway, I took some medication to help heal my soft body and laid back down. It was easy not to think about anything HunterxHunter related because it's so tiring to do in the first place. (Even typing this is giving me a backache).

Long story short,
No. I do not care.

Talent + rapid growth due to being exposed to strenuous circumstances

Because most Nen users could be killed by a Sniper, anyway. Nen does not grant you a passiv immunity to bullets. You have yo be using Gyo or Ren, or have a very strong Ten in order to take a bulley.

Also, one of the Princes in the current arc does have a suicide squad of plebs she trained for years to commit specific murders and then commit suicide. And characters in the setting recognize the possibility, so it seems like it is not an uncommon practice to do that.

>most Nen users could be killed by a Sniper
Only the fodder.

Kurapika considers mere 9mm pistols as a threat so take that as you will.

Attached: 1557136008705.jpg (535x403, 105K)

Kurapika says that most Nen users couldn't fully block a shot from Sakata's gun even with Gyo, and back in the Nostrade test we see all bodyguards using an object to block rather than tanking any bullets themselves.

So, pretty much anyone who hasn't trained to keep their Ten or En up would be pretty much dead if surprised by a Sniper. Including probably most Troupe members and Killua.

Not all childrens are equal. Gon being Gon is an exception. Most children are trash licking asswipes that need to be looked after.

It will definitelly rip the skin and burrow somewhat but it won't be fatal for him. Only one I remember off the top of my head tanking bullets and a bazooka was uvogin but he's an enhancer, I'm guessing others can train to block bullets too.
That's what I said. Only the fodder can't tank a sniper and in regards to blocking bullets even if you could it would probably be wiser to block it with an item so as to expend less or no aura at all.

Because he got Genes from his god like family lineage

>tanks punches from 20% uvo who can shutter hills with no injury
>tanks 50% with no problem
>100% broke his arm
>repairs it instantly
paranoia

Like, did he forget that time he tanked a blow from Uvogin or what?

Did you guys forget about his scarlet eyes shenanigans?

The new one hour condition doesn't change the fact ET allows him to yield a 100% attack in all categories, it only allows him to steal abilities and share them with others if he wishes to.

good genes i quess
i dont really like his powers hes the typical power>everything enhancer

killua is a bit better in that regard but at that point hes like a speed enhancer

the troupes members, leorio and kurapika had more interesting powers

No, but its not like his gyo blocked Uvos blow, it didn't, Uvo connected and crushed his arm.

That it didn't rip it off shows that bullets shouldn't do shit, even without gyo.

Look up what "fiction" means and why people consume it, you mongo.

kurapika blocks bullets
uvo blocked a fucking rocket launcher attack without any problem
king couldnt block a small dirty bomb

writers can do whatever

he was using his nen defensively against that and iirc concentrating it in that area

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

King was caught off guard and the bomb is miles more powerful than a rocket launcher. If it wasn't for his royal guard sacrificing that would've been the end for him(assuming there was no after-poison shenanigans). I doubt that even an unsurprised King would've been able to tank that bomb.

0/10 bait

can someone pull some data how much stronger a small bomb is compared to a rocket?

It's quite literally stronger than nukes.

>king couldnt block a small dirty bomb
Nuclear Bomb you mean?

Well, if you caught off guard you can just die, yeah

The King was no match for the bomb and he would have died without the RG giving their energie to him.

Why are Bloster & Welfin so likeable?

god the worldbuilding in HxH is so embarrassing

Kurapika blocked bullets with his chain. The only non-Chimera Ants characters to ever "tank" bullets are Uvogin and Bills. Both enhancers.
Uvo was prepared for the Rocket Launcher and thus probably used Gyo.

Gyo is like a cushion not a shield, I assume, so it absorbed part of the impact. Kurapika is also under Emperor Time when tanking the attack, so he is technically an Enhancer when blocking. Kurapika is also sent flying by the attack, further dispetsing the impact.

And BBI's AoE is also greatly exagerated in the 2011 anime for some dumb reason. The hole in the manga is smaller than Uvo and something a Tank could do irl.

The Rose Bomb is fictional so we don't know how strong it really is, but mos of the language surrounding it is language used to describe a Dirty Bomb in some famous article, I think. So many believe it is meant to be a Dirty Bomb.

Actually it takes place in a fictional version of 20th century.

First, the map of the known world is like that of the real world with rotated continents(pic related). Secondly, it seems that the primary language spoken in the world uses a syllabary which is exactly like hiragana/katakana, but also kanji. I say the primary language because it is used in all continents (all the members of the Hunters Association, Gon, Killua, Nasubi, Diego...), but there are also others: examples are the Kurta language and Feitan's language. Politically speaking, East Gorteau is an allegory of North Korea, and V5/V6 is not different from G8 or similar groups. Furthermore, the author appears "in person", dressed as a dog, the character of Prince Baka appears to comment a match.

Now, as for the references made by characters, these actually establish real continuity:

>Uvogin mentions Judas; replying to him, Chrollo voices his opinion on Judas' betrayal of Christ.
>Feitan is seen looking at Trevor Brown's pictures in a book.
>Yu Yu Hakusho characters appear throughout the Yorkshin saga as merchandise.
>In the same arc there is a reference to Naruto when bystanders see the Phantom Troupe run on walls.
>When talking about Nen erasers (Exorcists), we can see a nun.
>Knov reads "The Secret Garden".
>Zazan wears a Chanel skirt (and Phinks dons a Gucci tracksuit in the 2011 anime).
>One of Cheetu's abilities is called "Monroe Walk", probably a nod to the actress.
>Tserriednich directly mentions Hegel and Janacek among others.

There were more. All this goes to show that some of the events that happened in the real world also happened in HxH.

Attached: HxH_map.jpg (2337x1949, 1.31M)

There is a city called New York, the world is ruled by the G8, there are direct references to North Korea, The world is shaped after our continents, they have nuclear bombs and there even was a treaty to ban the production of bombs, the same thing that happened in our world with Nixon and Krushov.
>>completely different world from real life

So you think he should stop to explain what fictional Trevor Brown's art looks like, when he can just use Trevor Brown as a shorthand to explain the type of art a character likes and leave the research to the reader?

I mean, he could make annotations if this was a book, but resource-wise it would be a waste to use manga that way.

>allows him to yield a 100% attack in all categories
That doesn't mean his 100% enhancement is good enough to stop a bullet from damaging him. A trained soldier like Furykov was still bleeding after being shot in the head, but someone like Benjamin could tank bullets from a glock no problem. And Killua also was bleeding from sniper fire when fighting Ikalgo, whereas Bill could do it with multiple bullets at the same time with no scratches.

The exact aura amount needed to stop a bullet with no damage is still pretty high in addition to needing the reflexes and aura control to pinpoint where the bullets will hit if you can't just do it casually with ten or ren. Kurapkia is a conjurer so he's furthest away from Enhancement from the getgo, then even with his emperor time he still might not be good to stop bullets without injury.

it's in the family

Morena looks amused

>comparing a nen enhaced bullet with a regular bullet
if kurapika was able to tank multiple strikes from a man who can change the terrain with a single attack at 20% surely a 9mm bullet should be nothing in comparison
and that idiot dalzollene was stated to be able to withstand 9 bullets yet he was effortlessly impaled by phinks and we have someone like bonolenov who casually moves faster than sound and can conjure an image of jupiter that
obliterates a target upon impact and ignore the fact he made a giant crater after obliterating some ant peon
>furykov
fodder
>bill
fodder

Dalzollene, Furykov, Benjamin and Balsamico all tanked bullets.

I implied that it's a good thing, numbnuts. HxH world is based on ours because it's a realistic setting that intends to question our society and our very nature. It's basically a political commentary of our current affairs. The DC (what we've seen of it) will be the first foray into full fantasy territory, but it's likely to be a Lovecraftian-esque type of human commentary.

Good, very good then. Also don’t you ever call me numbnuts, okay user? Apologize.

Based

>if kurapika was able to tank multiple strikes from a man who can change the terrain with a single attack at 20% surely a 9mm bullet should be nothing in comparison
No, you're assuming Kurapika is always in ET mode, and that his 100% enhancement when not facing a Phantom Troupe member is enough to stop a bullet without injury. Or did you forget that Nen is also affected by mindset? There's a reason Netero even after sharpening his focus and aura in the mountains put on his favorite shirt and Kurapika is inarguably stronger when fighting a member of the troupe because of his grudge than he would Joe Blow?

Even in the beginning of York Shin he chose to block the bullets with his chains rather than tank them. That alone shows that he still considers bullets a threat best avoided even before this arc and there's no reason to assume it matters if the bullet has aura or not for him as the calibur alone poses a problem.
>that idiot dalzollene was stated to be able to withstand 9 bullets
He's either an enhancer or another category with sufficient aura to stop a bullet. There's also the possibility that's an exaggeration and that still says nothing of whether or not he was injured from every bullet or not.
>Fodder
Both characters mentioned are the more capable nen users in this arc and have both survived being shot. Bill did so without injury. The opposite of Fodder by any metric.

Just to clarify, it only makes him 100% effective in all categories AS A CONJURER.

How you seem to think it works:
>100, 80, 60, 60, 40 -> Emperor Time -> 100,100,100,100,100
How it actually works:
>100, 64, 36, 36, 16 -> Emperor Time -> 100, 80, 60, 60, 40

Hisoka will die of old age.

It is known.

Elaborate?

>Oh my rubber nen, thinking isn't going to get us anywhere.
fucking genius

nah kurapika is just paranoid and would rather have his opponents think him weak so he could obliterate them without much issue, he bluffed the trope by having them assume he was a manipulator and won.
he quite casually incapacitated vincent and had him assume he can force confessions
which vincent deemed to be a threat
if not for the suicide capsule he could have leveraged protection off benjamin&co and would not need to train others in nen.
now confirmation for your trolling

Look at the pic, he's right about the percentages, the last panel doesn't make sense without assuming the existence of two sets of percentages, you have two take the %^2 every time, not simply apply % one time. It's something almost no one in the fanbase is aware of, because you have no way of knowing if you've watched only the anime and you're almost sure to not grasp it even if you've read the manga unless you pay particular attention to that bit.

Yeah, 2011 seemed to cause a lot of misunderstanding surrounding ET. I'm not even giving that fag the time of day since he doesn't know how Pika's ability works.

so what did i write again? refresh my memory

Whoreapika Cunta

>nah kurapika is just paranoid
Nothing this arc or previous ones shows that Kurapika is best suited to not taking damage from getting shot. It's your conjecture that he could do so but the character himself disagrees. Plus, by default he's a conjurer, least suited to amassing a ton of aura, that alone leads credence that generally speaking bullets are a problem. Not to mention the amount of bullets he can handle and the caliber. Before even factoring in if the bullets have aura on them as well.

I rather live in the Kakin Kingdom then east Gorteau. Living in Kakin is much better than living like a fucking pleb in east-Gorteau.

Not only that, blocking bullets is low-iq it's just common sense within the context of the story to dodge them if you have the reflexes. It's a waste of time and energy bothering to react with the exact correct aura % in the exact spot aimed at just so the enemy can find out what you're capable of aura wise and then STILL taking damage on top of it.
