Cheetu deserves some bonus points for the whole thing where he creates a new ability in the middle of a fight, which was impressive both in that he managed to do it and in how outstandingly useless it was.
morel call cheetu kinda of slow. That bow and arrow he created. Morel told him why couldn't create a hastu slower than you. He could create nen basic of speed cheetu is quick could manifest a weapon that quick
The most ironic Cheetu fact is that Morel and Knuckle had more difficulty dealing with him when he *didn't* have any nen ability. Cheetu with just his pure speed is a better fighter than with his multiple Nen Hatsus ...
A fantastic example of over-reliance on a power. Cheetu switched gears to this new Nen stuff when he learned how to do it and it became his main trick. He refused to adapt or rely on his "weaker" abilities and as a result became very predictable and easy for a master to best.
@@igorporfiirio4915 Or just go with simplistic hatsu. The crossbow/claw was not a bad idea. He could keep his distance with his speed for safe ranged combat, and the claw can be deadly combined with Shu. However, his other ability was not a fitting tool for his impatience.
i think leorio's versatility score is a little underrated, the guy is going to be a doctor and his ability can be incredible in the hands of someone operating on someone else internally as a surgeon.
My thoughts the same. Yes this is shonen manga, but if we needed to look it from right perspective. Leorio's nen is one of the best from medical side. He chooses it to save life, not to fight.
Were this series a seinen instead, Leorio would've probably been a keystone white mage to all kinds of plot points. That aside, we've no reason to assume that he can't embark upon the same utilities and efficiencies Ging realized after incorporating his technique. If anything, Leorio has narratively confirmed that he's actively ignoring Nen development in focus of medical research until further notice. Maybe he'll be forced into flourishing during the Dark Continent arc!
@@24klassics Nothing seems to indicate he can exclusively use his portal to punch. Maybe he can grab objects or perform more complex tasks like doing a surgery from a safe distance.....Also, a punch with full aura that comes out of nowhere could be lethal for an umprepared opponent.
@@kakashihatake6052 no one else survives losing to Meruem either and you can't say it isn't versatile, because it netted her the single most powerful entity in the world, aside from potentially Ai, as a partner and protector.
I don't think Komugi has a knowledge what and how to use her Nen so just like what he said about Sushi it's also unfair for Komugi to be in this list coz she just unlock/use it unconsciously..
That's why she got a perfect score for efficiency. But her skill only works with gungi, so there's no versatility, and presumably she has very little aura, so that gets a low score as well. And she didn't know she was using nen, so she gets a low score in mastery. I'm actually surprised her mastery score was as high as it was considering she didn't even know what she was doing.
I guess it makes sense that killua is a better nen user... Gon likely has a greater nen store but uses it less efficientley as his jajanken is nen being converted to pure energy. Killua's Godspeed and lightning-based attacks can at least be recharged by absorbing other electric outputs
Once gon gett readjust figure out the flaw he done in his experience he going to polish it. Like brisky said about gon observing there some rough edge that need be polish he will he a diamond. Transformation that he showcase stand out than the rock, paper, scissor hastu he showcase. I dont think he will use that anymore with the conviction that is very high risk. Killua is head of for now proably will be more new thing when ever this manga return. Gon is going explore and figure himself
They both have the same nen amount, both are 1 in 10 million and both started learning nen at the same time, what you probably mean is that Gon has more nen output since he is an enhancer.
@@AndrewManook I dont think the 1 in 1 million has anything to do with amount of nen, it simply is about how talented they are in picking up nen and learning it. They have an affinity for nen, similar to the chimera ants(to a lesser extent)
@@AndrewManook It is said countless times that Gon's nen reserves are insanely high especially because he is an enhancer. Razor called him a monster. And we all know how strong Razor is, that guy was shooting dodgeball canons while managing Greed Island emission cards at the same time. Killua is talented at using his nen efficiently and he seems to be one of the most talented at controlling and distributing nen across his body. I hope Gon learns a new hatsu ability when he reawakens his nen. And becomes a specialist or something, or even master how to use nen. But i don't think we're going to be alive to see that tho XD
I actually think that being able to recharge your Nen is an absolute broken Ability. I mean. He doesnt have to go eat and sleep a day for it to recharge, he just goes to a Plug and gets it there.
Both Gon and Killua being in the 30s makes sense. Killua being 33rd and Gon being 35th is a pretty accurate placing. It’s why a timeskip version of the two seem so interesting, especially Killua. His speed, assassin techniques, and electricity seem like they’ll only get better exponentially. And since enhancers kinda need a big amount of nen, Gon is also one that’ll improve drastically after a time skip assuming he gets his nen back.
When he said decent skill he also said chimera ants not only that but he said heavens arena trash the heavens arena fighters were actually really strong how strong killua and gon were made them look trash
I’d say he did a poor representation of Gon and Killuas strength bc Feitan had to use his pain packer to kill a random chimera ant officer bc he put all his nen into a single strike and didn’t do anything and had to use pain packer while Killua casually blitz named chimera ant officers without the use of Godspeed and Gon’s Jaken punches scared the crap out of morel when he told gon to imagine he was the one who killed Kite and he almost thought he’d die from it. So they both have similar if not better feats than the phantom troupe. This isn’t to say they’re weak just only the upper tiers are strong and mid and below are trash with Feitans pain packer having the potential to be many times stronger but if requires him to take dmg first and against someone whose faster and stronger (Killua) he’d have his head before he can use it. Named chimera ant officers aren’t a joke and everyone either overhyped or underestimated Gon and Killua and I will admit I am a bit bias to them but this is just basic feats I can remember off the top of my head that show they’re stronger or just as strong as phantom troupe
@@arty5356 Feitan used pain packer against a squadron leader not an officer. Also, it has been shown that the chimera ants learn and evolve incredibly quickly so the time difference between Gon and killua fighting those ants (assumably you’re talking about pre-kite death) and feitan fighting the squadron leader is relevant
I think the hair guy from the shadow beasts had a versatile ability, he was just in way over his head like the rest of them. His hair was strong enough to pierce Uvogin's skin and gave him enough defense to sustain his attack unharmed.
The guy with the teeth wasn't too bad either. His bite was strong enough to pierce Uvogin's skin, and he could apply a poison to paralyze his opponent. If the shadow beasts had actually taken advantage of this and tried to quickly finish off Uvogin, they might have succeeded. Maybe he still manages to get his super yell off and survive, but if the beasts acted fast enough they could have taken him out first. I mean, the teeth guy could have just taken a bite out of Uvogin's throat or head while he couldn't move for a quick kill. Instead they just decided to be really stupid and wait for the leeches to kill him, which would have taken a day or two.

@Samuel Stewart The difference is that there are a finite number of possible moves in gungi. Her ability allows her to see all the possibilities and come up with new strategies on the fly. But it is still possible for her to lose.
Ponzu's bees can be versatile, and she had some that are poisonous in the hunter exam. Bees can make honey and are way stealthier and portable than dogs.....
@@saparapatepete oh wait really? Is that like gon using hatsu while stalking Hisoka without knowing it? Because she hasn’t had formal training in nen right? Or did she
@@Query_8P Gon didn't know Nen during the hunter test. Gotta say that is a curious case. Not sure why Hizoka didn't sense him. Or he did but didn't care?. However, Gon was able to take Hizoka's badge because the clown was too focused on the people he was killing.
And even those who did make it into this list are (well, were) proficient enough in nen to be considered Hunters, or gifted enough to cause chaos as Chimera Ants. Unlike Devil Fruits, in which people with no formal training can make pretty cool stuff out of it (look at Otama, she's a friggin' child and she's a beastmaster), either you master Nen or you die trying. And even if you master it, you can still die.
I love how nen is really only limited by your own imagination. The difference between seeming “simple” nen with a broad application compared to a “simple” nen with one focus is night and day.
It’s a testament to the brilliance of the power system that an ability as simple as bungee gum (⭐️which has the properties of both rubber and gum💧) is one of the best abilities in the hands of a genius like Hisoka, yet in the hands of a less intelligent or less capable fighter, the ability’s versatility and potential would be completely wasted.

@Gameboy538 yeah why not use like puppets which would probably be easier since their not alive and you could always carry some small ones like toy soilders in your pocket for emergencies
Hey lerios nen isnt intended for combat primary, as gin observed, its optimal for operations. And its rather versitile because it can be used in combat too, and give him experience and he can sneak up on opponents properly to use it efective, and as gin said, its optimal for a doctor. He is still developing it at that stage. Lerio shoulnt be there. That That haiku guy shoul, because he showed limited creativity for his very creative haiku ability. As is zushi he isnt a bad user at all, he is versitile and hasnt specialized yet. Cheetu is a smallplayful kid, as that its effective use of nen And the nen exorcism, i would say its good use nd would probably really fleshed out if we knew his backstory.
Ging’s use of Leorio’s ability is not an accurate gauge of Leorio’s use of nen. We just don’t know what Leorio’s nen is capable of yet beyond punching a guy who wanted to be punched.
Pokkle is a character who's nen ability is exactly what Kurapika's master warned about. Conjuring an item that you could carry with you significantly limits fighting ability. If he had created conditions to his arrows, like maybe randomizing them and require that he his real bow is broken, then he could be stronger. However, his ability is essentially just a regular bow, as the elemental effects don't matter if the opponent can use nen (as they can dodge all arrows easily at that level)
When the Shadow Beasts first got introduced I was like "wow, the mafia's strongest fighters, they must be amazing!" It was soon later I learned that just because a character seems like they're gonna be somebody, doesn't mean they're actually gonna be somebody.
I still don't understand what puts Neon so low yet Komugi so high. I mean they're both the same, people who developed a hatsu without knowing diddly squat about nen. I dare say Neon's ability has a bigger amount of restrictions on it, even if the penalty of Komugi's is much higher.
Komugi's ability was much more refined. The way she used it, it never failed, and she was able to win no matter the opponent. Neon's ability was vague; it didn't outright tell people their future, but rather gave them clues about it. It required a lot of information about the person, and she couldn't use it on herself.
For starters, neon's fortunes are proven to be avoidable As outstandingly useful as heaving your fortune told so you can go about living with all the warnings you could ever need is, that requires an ability that's inherently ineffective. Just in a convenient way. An ability that allows you to endlessly defeat meruem at literally any one thing (and that doesn't include the plot implications of forcing meruem to respect people who can't necessarily kill him) is not only more impressive in terms of difficulty, but is by its nature, more reliable
@@Stryker1297 This is a video about abilities alone, not about the deeper implications or themes of how they are used on the series. Neon's fortunes are avoidable ONLY if you know them. If things go the way they are the fortunes will come to pass. If anything Neon's ability is more impressive because you're literally able to change the path of something that would otherwise be set in stone. Half the Phantom Troupe was destined to die by the hands of Kurapika, but in the end only one died because they realized how to avoid their fates.
I dunno if it's fair to call Genthru a weak Nen user (since you said Gon beat only weaker users). He was strong and dangerous enough that even people like Tzegerra, and even Bisky, were wary of him.
I wouldn't say that Gon really beat Genthru though. Genthru was toying with him for the vast majority of the fight in spite of Gon preparing for the battle beforehand. If he wanted to kill him from the start, he easily could have likely without taking any damage from Gon at all.
Honestly, I think Leorio creating the ability he has with the little training and aura he’s showcased is quite impressive. I think in perspective, Leorio is kinda impressive for what he does. Like, his hatsu is stated to basically be perfect for a doctor, and yet it’s also shown that it’s very basic principles can be adapted beautifully to combat by Ging, which isn’t quite fair because Ging is one of the best Nen users ever, but I feel like most of the users on this list are bad enough at crafting abilities that even he would struggle with being able to use them effectively. Leorio is a man doing a lot with a little, mostly cuz he’s simply spent all of his time getting into med school
I feel it's kind of unfair to put Komugi on this list, since she's unaware of nen and never trained in it. And if awareness of nen is not a requirement (which it isn't, considering the nr. 1), why isn't Zepile on this list? Both him and Komugi unconsciously developed nen through passion for their chosen art, but Komugi is clearly much better at it.
Shitting on the shadow beasts, yet the fang one knew how to use Ko to protect himself from the skull fragment Uvo shot at him. If he can use Ko one would assume he knew how to use Ken and Ryu as well. Just underselling them at this point, the Shadow beasts were capable nen users, probably at least on the level of Binolt or Goreinu, probably stronger.
@@Theta117 Because you need advanced nen training to utilize such techniques. It's pretty safe to assume they (or at least the fang one) were a student of netero's school of martial arts at some point. Didn't you watch greed island?
@@Procrastinater they're advanced nen techniques but we see such abilities used by many nen users. their abilities are very not well thought out at all. I thought that was obvious since a simple enhancer nen user was able to outsmart and kill everyone on that team.
@@Theta117 You think Uvogin was a simple enhancer nen user? The guy got the most impressive feats of nen usage aside from the RG, Meruem, Netero and Zeno. They guy tanked a high calibre bullet unaware to the temple, it bounced of his passive ten shroud. Even during the DC arc, Kurapika has to actively defend himself to ward off a handgun bullet. He could stop a rpg with his nen alone with no visible injuries, that's even more impressive than anything Razor took during the dodgeball match. He could enhance his scream magnitudes higher than Gon could during the CA invasion, and Gon at the time was approaching pro hunter levels in pure aura output. Uvogin was a nen monster, it is only natural he would run train on most nen users. The shadow beasts were no scrubs for being manhandled by him.
@@Procrastinater what I'm saying is that is the dude's hatsu was punch and tank hits really hard. It's been stated mutiple times that nen isnt a pure combat form that is decided by aura amounts or power alone. Point is that the shadow beasts all had extremely lack luster abilities if you look at them. The only one with a decent ability was owl, and you dont need your ability to be combat based if you're proficient at combat ofc. They also approached uvogin as a team and tried teamwork, but again their abilities are garbage so Even if one we 100% knew they used ken/ko (something we seen a good amount of nen users do in greed island do) then that doesn't really make them strong in the ability application part of it; just a better mastery. Basically they belong in their spots due to a lack of versatility. Very simple abilities with little use are just too common.
"Squala gets a high versatility because he's a manipulator" I'm sorry, what? Having a versatile typing is meaningless if your ability is as terrible as his. Besides, behind Specialist, Conjuration is the most versatile typing. That's like saying all enhancers have a minimum 20/25 efficiency because it's the most efficient aura type.
This and OP's way of seeing "versatility" is still quite black and white. To him, it seems Manipulators automatically get a versatility pass. You might not want to do that too with conjuration. Really, it depends on what the individual decides to do with their nen- not their nen type or class. Same with specialist. This "it's the MOST" type of language is what's mistaken to begin with. Cheetu is a conjurer, but he made a very niche, specific and trivial/dumb power. Shizu's vacuum is very niche too. Kurapika can only get away with multi-purpose chain because of scarlet eyes. Basho's is very finicky. The different types are just different tools. Enhancers are also not automatically efficient just because they're enhancers. Nen use efficiency comes down to the skill of the individual. This is like arguing which is the best martial art. You don't judge by the martial art. You judge by the individual martial artist/fighter.
Yeah, limiting his ability to dogs is the opposite of versatile. Either way, I wonder how much training it would take for Squala to manipulate Mike, the Zoldyck guard dog. Even more pressing is the question as of whether Squala could tame Togashi himself, since he has a dog avatar.
@@AndrewLaPrade Meming aside, Kirapika's teacher made it clear that you should never use Nen for something that can be done without. Training dogs is very doable without Nen.
@@thermophile1695 In fairness, the dogs are more capable than a normally trained dog. I think his power is pretty underlooked, and it's generally great for the position he had. You have a bunch of errand doers, drug testers, spies, etc. at your beck and call. Cluck seems to use an equivalent power when she commands birds to deliver messages to every Hunter, though she's probably able to do other stuff in addition.
@@Waluigi101 I'm not saying it's 100% useless, just mostly. A well trained dog can attack, guard, and find drugs, even if they're not intelligent enough for full-on espionage. Squala's dogs are better than normal trained dogs, but not enough to justify a Nen user dedicated to them.
Leorio is quite amazing! Primary use of his ability is for medical purposes, it requires precision more than power, Leorio managed to combine that with power and range too. We just havent seen it in combat yet but there is so much one can do with an ability like that. I dont want to oversell him because we dont know the limitations but lets not underestimate him either. His ability is certainly more than just throwing punches over long distance
I wouldnt say they are the WORST but they some of them Togashi just didnt explain well so i guess we will wait forever for that 😂 Btw almost at 200k subs congrats! ill get there one day...lol
On the topic of Abengane, I think it's more complex than that. I think that the exorcism isn't Abengane's main hatsu, just the only one that we've actually seen him use. Also, his invocation of the "spirits of the forest" and the general actions he took to invoke the ability suggest that it's some kind of ritual, reminiscent of a shamanic practice, which could indicate that this is more of a technique-type hatsu, passed down from master to student in some kind of enclosed community - in a similar air as Hanzo has his "ninja arts" of which Kagebunshin no jutsu is one of, implying that any accomplished ninja from his clan is capable of.
I'm a Theta stan, and this triggered me. She effortlessly emmited a small Nen ball to 4th Prince without harming him, and, although you said it, she has a lot of knowledge about Nen. She's in a situation were she's trying to disclose the less Nen info possible, and she's constantly facing 4th Prince on her own, which you consider as one of the best Nen Users. Not everyone can resist being near Tserried for too long when his Beasts are idle, and she does it with a lot confidence. If it weren't for Tserried's King Crimson-like ability, she would've killed him with a brilliant strategy. I'm not saying she's one of the best since we haven't seen her fight, but given all her knowledge and the little Nen display she did, she seems to be at Knuckle's level. I wouldn't have put her on this list. But I guess she was just unlucky and your numbers seem to be accurate still. There are many good Nen Users already in the series. I expect to see more from her in the future though.
It’s so crazy because recently the creator of hunter x hunter put out tier list for best nen users and Abegane is one of 7 ultimate users along with komogi
The girl with an ability that PREDICTS the FUTURE is a worse nen user than a girl who can play one specific board game really well? I think you might want to revise your methodology a bit there, guy.
@@JimJamJom it seems to me that someone who uses nen to do something useful is by definition a better user than one who can only do something totally useless
@@patrickcharzin3062 Maybe. I don’t really agree with the rankings either but.. if you use something stupid in great way, it’s better than using something great in a dumb way. For example, in Minecraft, I’d prefer to have a stone/wooden pickaxe than a diamond hoe.
I agree. I think alot of the placements on this list are wrong. If anything, Komugi or Alluka are the worst nen users. Komugi's ability can only be used for a useless board game and Alluka cant even use his own ability. I think Alluka is worse though because although it has far greater uses, the negative outcome results in more than one persons death and can even wipe out his whole family of powerful nen users.
@@hunterbundrick3685 You mean HER. Alluka is transgender, as confirmed by Togashi himself. And Alluka isn’t even a nen-user. The wish-granting ability comes from Nanika, who is a creature/being from the Dark Continent that came to possess Alluka when she was still very young. And the price is completely non-existent when a command comes from Killua because Nanika loves him and just wants his praise and affection.
No, the reason she's suspected to have died is because her powers disappeared from Chrollo's book. But at the moment, it is nothing more than a suspicion.
Y'all also forgetting my boi Leorio learned Nen and made his Hatsu in the middle of MED SCHOOL. The main 4 definitely have the same level of affinity for Nen
A few bees can make a elephant flee in terror. Hymenoptera are the most successful insects on our planet, which pretty much makes them the second most successful living creatures on this planet except humans. Ponzu could do some pretty crazy unique feats with that ability. Too bad she was killed off so early, i think she had a ton of potential.
Hey, this channel reached 200k, well done brother. Having a hxh related channel is something that was well needed For the last 10 years, there wasn’t much channels or even any who went that deep into hxh on daily basis
Although one of the most solid systems in anime, it feels like one of the most unforgiving. Unless you're absolutely blessed with nen, you can't just create an ability. You have to put genuine long thought out thinking into it and have the will to master it throughout years of experience and even if you are gifted with nen or nen potential, you can still end up with an absolutely garbage ability which Hisoka points out many times. The gifts of nen can very quickly turn to garbage which isn't even including restrictions and vows that further amplify nen abilities or screw you over because you overlooked one small detail. That's what it feels like anyway
But that what makes it perfect it like human life itself anything can go wrong with contract or vow you can be bless with a good child hood and turn out awful or died and even when you put in full mastery into a skill you can still fail in life like they guy hisoka kills in heavens arena
It's interesting you added people like Neon and Komugi when they clearly just happen to use nen by chance, no nen training, no fighting skills, no intention on having any versatility. They are incredible in their own right as they are just normal people with a cool ability, or in Komugi's case, she's the representation of what Gon and Killua found out during the auction arc, where really talented people end up putting aura into their craft.
bruh punching your innards instead of your flesh is fucking terrifying of a nen ability lmao! Leorio definitely would be a dangerous and terrifying nen user if he trains combat skills instead of learning and studying to become a doctor xD
My opinion is that the power system in the Parahumans series Worm and Ward is by far the best power system for many many reasons that I can’t state because spoilers. It is baked into the works in such ridiculously awesome ways, and is many layered in every meaning of the word.
In killua's defense, he caused serious issues for pouf, and briefly held his own against youpi. toward the end of the chimera ant arc killua had done some serious growth.
Being subscribed to the NenWorldReview to receive regular HunterxHunter content uploaded straight into my TH-cam feed is one thing, receiving HunterxHunter content uploaded straight into my TH-cam feed the exact second my work break starts is something else though!
With Cheetu, most people are forgetting a couple of very important factors surrounding his use of nen. His hatsu to create the pocket dimension with the game of tag was horribly crafted to his skill set ON PURPOSE. If you recall, this skill was created for him by Pouf, the royal guard, and the royal guard stated earlier that they did not trust the chimera ant soldiers, nor did they want to keep them around. They simply were going to use them to stall the hunter association, and then be discarded after. As such, the skill Pouf gives to Cheetu fits the royal guard agenda perfectly. It is terrible when combined with Cheetu's skills and personality, hence making it a non-threat should the soldiers ever betray the royal guard, he cannot ever learn from his mistakes to eventually master it either as it cannot be used after he inevitably loses, and it is a great way to waste the time of whoever Cheetu uses it on. And it worked beautifully in Pouf's favor. Before the big showdown with the Royal Guard, Morel himself states that he is quite tired from the repeated fights he was in with the chimera soldiers, only able to function at something like 60% of his max potential I believe. And the long waiting game with Cheetu denied him a chance to either get some rest in, as he was only pretending to nap while in the pocket dimension on full alert the entire time, or actually do anything to undermine the Royal Guard and/or prepare for the final showdown. As such, Cheetu's failures are just Pouf's accomplishments. Doesn't change his ranking as a terrible Nen user, just means he was sabotaged and used, and Pouf is even more brilliant for it. As for the Crossbow, it actually had the potential to actually be a decent item to Cheetu, if he just understood what he should be doing with it. Of course, he is only a few months old and one of the most childish acting chimera ants, so he did not realize this, and I suspect Morel was intentionally misleading him by mocking the ability to further frustrate Cheetu. A ranged weapon that shoot projectiles slower than himself seems useless at first, however he just needs to learn how to use it properly. If he were to fire the crossbow forwards while running, he would be adding his own incredible speed to the bolts it is firing, giving them a TON of speed and power. Imagine Cheetu running at his opponent, firing off bolts that go even faster than him, before going in for a melee attack. It would be really hard for an opponent to react fast enough to deal with the multiple, incredibly fast attacks coming at him nearly simultaneously, and Cheetu could even change direction after firing his bolts to attack from a second angle, further making it harder for his opponent to deal with attacks coming from different directions. He just needed to learn how to properly use this weapon he created, and probably improve it by using transmutation to give it special qualities over a normal crossbow and add some conditions to increase its power and efficiency. Another example of him being very young and inexperienced despite having strong natural abilities, and it would have been interesting to see what could have happened had he lived long enough to learn from his defeats.
The thing about the Hunter X Hunter world is, most people don't get the luxury of having multiple defeats without being brutally murdered lol. That's why it's so important to train well and learn right the first time
That’s... the point. The more a nen user has proficiency in a certain the area, the more the dot representing it will be closer to the outside of the circle.
Leorio simply lacks motivation to learn the variety that his hatsu holds. Plus togashi having him and kurapika play a bigger role in the manga somethings might train. Like Ging going out his way to teach leorio or he gets lessons from Cheadle on how to improve his Hatsu
As much as I love nen, I still don't like that everyone has a different amount of aura they're just born with, and some people just have an unbelievable amount of it

You should produce a spreadsheet of all 119 men users and publish it online so that everyone can see and it. I think a lot of people would be interested in the scores of the 79 characters who weren't in either best or worst 20 characters.
Great video I hope you make video with ranking of all users Im really intrest where characters like Genthru,knunckle,kastro would be Im always being fan of the cool mid tiers xd
I feel that the general day to day of each nen user could have been better taken into account, for example, Komugi spent at least 90% of her awake time once she had nen, using it to play gungi. The thing it was for, after all, specialists aren’t the worst in what they actually spend time on even if they would be in unrelated categories of a similar profession.
11:01 I had friend, he's never been into anime and probably will never be. He knew I was into anime and he came to me, twenty years ago (give or take), really excited. He had just randomly seen the fight between Uvogin and the Shadow Beasts. "... And there was this massive dude! He was against four other users, they were powerful too! They had cool abilities, I thought they were going to kill the big dude, it was a really good fight, but the big dude ended up winning". I'll never tell him about this ranking, it'd break his heart.
Neon actually had no idea she was using nen! She explains it as her wanting to predict futures very badly after watching a fortune teller do it, who was later confirmed a fraud. So it is very similar to Komugi in that sense!
@@King26J Speedblitz a Chimera is very relevant, if he faces someone he can effectively one shot, say, Feitan, that ability would be fucking broken. Plus, he can paralyze people with each blow.
I think Komugi deserves more points in versatility. We only see it in Gungi but who's to say when she's older she doesn't become a world leader with her skills in all things involving strategy
Leorio is quite underrated. While WING open Gon's and Killuas Nen in one night, is quite propably that Leorio just meditated alone. Zushi needed few months to learn how to activate nen so leorio progress is not so bad. The only nen guins from main 4 is Kurapila who in the same time while Gon learned 4 major priciples he created few versitile nen Hatsu.
Hey I'm a big fan of your series, but for data visualization I recommend you keep the circle scales the same size. (i.e. always show the outer most ring as 30) That way our monkey brains can quickly see more area = better, less area = worse. With the constantly changing scale our monkey brain has to do work to scale up and down the area appropriately, at that point its easier to just look at the numbers.
I'm already calling it. Leorio's arc will be the Dark Continent. Among the 5 main characters( I included Hisoka) he is the less developed but also the one who resolved to violence the less, he even haven't put blood in his hands(haven't killed yet). For me he is the most righteous among the main characters and that might be challenged when faced with unknown yet stronger species. Will he fight them or will he try to understand them? Only the author knows.
I’ve just started watching the series for the first time recently (I’m at the part where Kurapika wins against the bear man dude) and one thing I don’t understand is why all of the characters, particularly the experienced ones, constantly refer to other characters as “nen users.” 200th floor of Heaven’s Arena? Everyone’s a nen user. Going to be a real hunter? Nen is pretty much a basic requirement. Bad guys boldly kill everyone in an auction house and try to steal all the items right in the face of all the mafia families? Not sure why their mafia pursuers felt the need to call them nen users, because duh. And it’s not just like a one-off, “Watch out, they’re a nen user!” It’s like in every sentence of this show ever since Gon and Killua learned it at the arena. What should be somewhat obvious and trivial to all of these nen experts is constantly focused on as if it’s still something rare and exceptional against formidable opponents, which the Heaven’s Arena and second Hunter exam proved it isn’t.
Cheetu deserves some bonus points for the whole thing where he creates a new ability in the middle of a fight, which was impressive both in that he managed to do it and in how outstandingly useless it was.
That was a big brain moment for Cheetu
@@VinnyPTAstartes and the fact that that statement is true really puts into perspective how truly terrible cheetu was
morel call cheetu kinda of slow. That bow and arrow he created. Morel told him why couldn't create a hastu slower than you. He could create nen basic of speed cheetu is quick could manifest a weapon that quick

ey bro what are the odds of having basically the same pfp
The most ironic Cheetu fact is that Morel and Knuckle had more difficulty dealing with him when he *didn't* have any nen ability. Cheetu with just his pure speed is a better fighter than with his multiple Nen Hatsus ...
A fantastic example of over-reliance on a power. Cheetu switched gears to this new Nen stuff when he learned how to do it and it became his main trick. He refused to adapt or rely on his "weaker" abilities and as a result became very predictable and easy for a master to best.
He should Just forget he is a conjurer and use some Basic ehancement at that point
@@igorporfiirio4915 Or just go with simplistic hatsu. The crossbow/claw was not a bad idea. He could keep his distance with his speed for safe ranged combat, and the claw can be deadly combined with Shu. However, his other ability was not a fitting tool for his impatience.
@@igorporfiirio4915 I think cheetu could have been a devastating opponent if he ever came up with a unique object to conjure like shizuku and blinky.
If I were a conjurer with inhuman speed, I'd conjure some sort of footwear or clothing that would reduce/eliminate friction
i think leorio's versatility score is a little underrated, the guy is going to be a doctor and his ability can be incredible in the hands of someone operating on someone else internally as a surgeon.
My thoughts the same. Yes this is shonen manga, but if we needed to look it from right perspective. Leorio's nen is one of the best from medical side. He chooses it to save life, not to fight.
Were this series a seinen instead, Leorio would've probably been a keystone white mage to all kinds of plot points. That aside, we've no reason to assume that he can't embark upon the same utilities and efficiencies Ging realized after incorporating his technique. If anything, Leorio has narratively confirmed that he's actively ignoring Nen development in focus of medical research until further notice. Maybe he'll be forced into flourishing during the Dark Continent arc!
@@24klassics Nothing seems to indicate he can exclusively use his portal to punch. Maybe he can grab objects or perform more complex tasks like doing a surgery from a safe distance.....Also, a punch with full aura that comes out of nowhere could be lethal for an umprepared opponent.

Having specialty skills around being a doctor doesn't make him versatile

I don't think Komugi has a knowledge what and how to use her Nen so just like what he said about Sushi it's also unfair for Komugi to be in this list coz she just unlock/use it unconsciously..
That's why she got a perfect score for efficiency. But her skill only works with gungi, so there's no versatility, and presumably she has very little aura, so that gets a low score as well. And she didn't know she was using nen, so she gets a low score in mastery. I'm actually surprised her mastery score was as high as it was considering she didn't even know what she was doing.

I guess it makes sense that killua is a better nen user... Gon likely has a greater nen store but uses it less efficientley as his jajanken is nen being converted to pure energy. Killua's Godspeed and lightning-based attacks can at least be recharged by absorbing other electric outputs
Once gon gett readjust figure out the flaw he done in his experience he going to polish it. Like brisky said about gon observing there some rough edge that need be polish he will he a diamond. Transformation that he showcase stand out than the rock, paper, scissor hastu he showcase. I dont think he will use that anymore with the conviction that is very high risk. Killua is head of for now proably will be more new thing when ever this manga return. Gon is going explore and figure himself
They both have the same nen amount, both are 1 in 10 million and both started learning nen at the same time, what you probably mean is that Gon has more nen output since he is an enhancer.
@@AndrewManook I dont think the 1 in 1 million has anything to do with amount of nen, it simply is about how talented they are in picking up nen and learning it. They have an affinity for nen, similar to the chimera ants(to a lesser extent)
@@AndrewManook It is said countless times that Gon's nen reserves are insanely high especially because he is an enhancer. Razor called him a monster. And we all know how strong Razor is, that guy was shooting dodgeball canons while managing Greed Island emission cards at the same time. Killua is talented at using his nen efficiently and he seems to be one of the most talented at controlling and distributing nen across his body. I hope Gon learns a new hatsu ability when he reawakens his nen. And becomes a specialist or something, or even master how to use nen. But i don't think we're going to be alive to see that tho XD
I actually think that being able to recharge your Nen is an absolute broken Ability.
I mean. He doesnt have to go eat and sleep a day for it to recharge, he just goes to a Plug and gets it there.
Both Gon and Killua being in the 30s makes sense. Killua being 33rd and Gon being 35th is a pretty accurate placing. It’s why a timeskip version of the two seem so interesting, especially Killua. His speed, assassin techniques, and electricity seem like they’ll only get better exponentially. And since enhancers kinda need a big amount of nen, Gon is also one that’ll improve drastically after a time skip assuming he gets his nen back.
He still has his new, ging mad reference to it when he first him.
Gon just has to sense it within himself.
When he said decent skill he also said chimera ants not only that but he said heavens arena trash the heavens arena fighters were actually really strong how strong killua and gon were made them look trash
I’d say he did a poor representation of Gon and Killuas strength bc Feitan had to use his pain packer to kill a random chimera ant officer bc he put all his nen into a single strike and didn’t do anything and had to use pain packer while Killua casually blitz named chimera ant officers without the use of Godspeed and Gon’s Jaken punches scared the crap out of morel when he told gon to imagine he was the one who killed Kite and he almost thought he’d die from it. So they both have similar if not better feats than the phantom troupe. This isn’t to say they’re weak just only the upper tiers are strong and mid and below are trash with Feitans pain packer having the potential to be many times stronger but if requires him to take dmg first and against someone whose faster and stronger (Killua) he’d have his head before he can use it. Named chimera ant officers aren’t a joke and everyone either overhyped or underestimated Gon and Killua and I will admit I am a bit bias to them but this is just basic feats I can remember off the top of my head that show they’re stronger or just as strong as phantom troupe
@@arty5356 Feitan used pain packer against a squadron leader not an officer. Also, it has been shown that the chimera ants learn and evolve incredibly quickly so the time difference between Gon and killua fighting those ants (assumably you’re talking about pre-kite death) and feitan fighting the squadron leader is relevant
I think the hair guy from the shadow beasts had a versatile ability, he was just in way over his head like the rest of them. His hair was strong enough to pierce Uvogin's skin and gave him enough defense to sustain his attack unharmed.
The guy with the teeth wasn't too bad either. His bite was strong enough to pierce Uvogin's skin, and he could apply a poison to paralyze his opponent. If the shadow beasts had actually taken advantage of this and tried to quickly finish off Uvogin, they might have succeeded. Maybe he still manages to get his super yell off and survive, but if the beasts acted fast enough they could have taken him out first. I mean, the teeth guy could have just taken a bite out of Uvogin's throat or head while he couldn't move for a quick kill. Instead they just decided to be really stupid and wait for the leeches to kill him, which would have taken a day or two.

Hey lerios nen isnt intended for combat primary, as gin observed, its optimal for operations.

Killua>
Yup
leorio san supremacy 🛐
nah kurapika supremacy
Pokkle is a character who's nen ability is exactly what Kurapika's master warned about. Conjuring an item that you could carry with you significantly limits fighting ability. If he had created conditions to his arrows, like maybe randomizing them and require that he his real bow is broken, then he could be stronger. However, his ability is essentially just a regular bow, as the elemental effects don't matter if the opponent can use nen (as they can dodge all arrows easily at that level)
When the Shadow Beasts first got introduced I was like "wow, the mafia's strongest fighters, they must be amazing!" It was soon later I learned that just because a character seems like they're gonna be somebody, doesn't mean they're actually gonna be somebody.
They were above average but the top spiders are really god
I still don't understand what puts Neon so low yet Komugi so high. I mean they're both the same, people who developed a hatsu without knowing diddly squat about nen. I dare say Neon's ability has a bigger amount of restrictions on it, even if the penalty of Komugi's is much higher.
I'm with you, I actually just commented the same thing.
Komugi's ability was much more refined. The way she used it, it never failed, and she was able to win no matter the opponent. Neon's ability was vague; it didn't outright tell people their future, but rather gave them clues about it. It required a lot of information about the person, and she couldn't use it on herself.
For starters, neon's fortunes are proven to be avoidable
As outstandingly useful as heaving your fortune told so you can go about living with all the warnings you could ever need is, that requires an ability that's inherently ineffective. Just in a convenient way.
An ability that allows you to endlessly defeat meruem at literally any one thing (and that doesn't include the plot implications of forcing meruem to respect people who can't necessarily kill him) is not only more impressive in terms of difficulty, but is by its nature, more reliable
@@Stryker1297
This is a video about abilities alone, not about the deeper implications or themes of how they are used on the series.
Neon's fortunes are avoidable ONLY if you know them. If things go the way they are the fortunes will come to pass. If anything Neon's ability is more impressive because you're literally able to change the path of something that would otherwise be set in stone.
Half the Phantom Troupe was destined to die by the hands of Kurapika, but in the end only one died because they realized how to avoid their fates.
What? Neon got 1st place while Komogi got 17th place. How is Neon low and Komogi high? 🤨
Suggestion: Top 20 most interesting uses of nen.
This sounds like a good one
I dunno if it's fair to call Genthru a weak Nen user (since you said Gon beat only weaker users). He was strong and dangerous enough that even people like Tzegerra, and even Bisky, were wary of him.
I wouldn't say that Gon really beat Genthru though. Genthru was toying with him for the vast majority of the fight in spite of Gon preparing for the battle beforehand. If he wanted to kill him from the start, he easily could have likely without taking any damage from Gon at all.
Leorio is underrated. Thought Gido would be ranked worst.
Honestly, I think Leorio creating the ability he has with the little training and aura he’s showcased is quite impressive. I think in perspective, Leorio is kinda impressive for what he does. Like, his hatsu is stated to basically be perfect for a doctor, and yet it’s also shown that it’s very basic principles can be adapted beautifully to combat by Ging, which isn’t quite fair because Ging is one of the best Nen users ever, but I feel like most of the users on this list are bad enough at crafting abilities that even he would struggle with being able to use them effectively. Leorio is a man doing a lot with a little, mostly cuz he’s simply spent all of his time getting into med school
Yeah, Leorio may not be a powerhouse, but he uses what he has pretty well.
The unfortunate thing about gon is he didn't get to develop it further.
I feel it's kind of unfair to put Komugi on this list, since she's unaware of nen and never trained in it. And if awareness of nen is not a requirement (which it isn't, considering the nr. 1), why isn't Zepile on this list? Both him and Komugi unconsciously developed nen through passion for their chosen art, but Komugi is clearly much better at it.

Just underselling them at this point, the Shadow beasts were capable nen users, probably at least on the level of Binolt or Goreinu, probably stronger.
How does knowing ko and ken make you a capable nen user? They all had pretty bad abilities and didn't really do anything at all.
@@Theta117 Because you need advanced nen training to utilize such techniques. It's pretty safe to assume they (or at least the fang one) were a student of netero's school of martial arts at some point.

@@Procrastinater they're advanced nen techniques but we see such abilities used by many nen users. their abilities are very not well thought out at all. I thought that was obvious since a simple enhancer nen user was able to outsmart and kill everyone on that team.
@@Theta117 You think Uvogin was a simple enhancer nen user?
The guy got the most impressive feats of nen usage aside from the RG, Meruem, Netero and Zeno.
They guy tanked a high calibre bullet unaware to the temple, it bounced of his passive ten shroud. Even during the DC arc, Kurapika has to actively defend himself to ward off a handgun bullet.
He could stop a rpg with his nen alone with no visible injuries, that's even more impressive than anything Razor took during the dodgeball match.
He could enhance his scream magnitudes higher than Gon could during the CA invasion, and Gon at the time was approaching pro hunter levels in pure aura output.
Uvogin was a nen monster, it is only natural he would run train on most nen users. The shadow beasts were no scrubs for being manhandled by him.
@@Procrastinater what I'm saying is that is the dude's hatsu was punch and tank hits really hard.
It's been stated mutiple times that nen isnt a pure combat form that is decided by aura amounts or power alone.
Point is that the shadow beasts all had extremely lack luster abilities if you look at them. The only one with a decent ability was owl, and you dont need your ability to be combat based if you're proficient at combat ofc.
They also approached uvogin as a team and tried teamwork, but again their abilities are garbage so Even if one we 100% knew they used ken/ko (something we seen a good amount of nen users do in greed island do) then that doesn't really make them strong in the ability application part of it; just a better mastery.
Basically they belong in their spots due to a lack of versatility. Very simple abilities with little use are just too common.
"Squala gets a high versatility because he's a manipulator"
I'm sorry, what? Having a versatile typing is meaningless if your ability is as terrible as his. Besides, behind Specialist, Conjuration is the most versatile typing. That's like saying all enhancers have a minimum 20/25 efficiency because it's the most efficient aura type.
This and OP's way of seeing "versatility" is still quite black and white. To him, it seems Manipulators automatically get a versatility pass. You might not want to do that too with conjuration. Really, it depends on what the individual decides to do with their nen- not their nen type or class. Same with specialist. This "it's the MOST" type of language is what's mistaken to begin with.
Cheetu is a conjurer, but he made a very niche, specific and trivial/dumb power. Shizu's vacuum is very niche too. Kurapika can only get away with multi-purpose chain because of scarlet eyes. Basho's is very finicky. The different types are just different tools.
Enhancers are also not automatically efficient just because they're enhancers. Nen use efficiency comes down to the skill of the individual.
This is like arguing which is the best martial art. You don't judge by the martial art. You judge by the individual martial artist/fighter.
Yeah, limiting his ability to dogs is the opposite of versatile.
Either way, I wonder how much training it would take for Squala to manipulate Mike, the Zoldyck guard dog. Even more pressing is the question as of whether Squala could tame Togashi himself, since he has a dog avatar.

Meming aside, Kirapika's teacher made it clear that you should never use Nen for something that can be done without. Training dogs is very doable without Nen.
@@thermophile1695 In fairness, the dogs are more capable than a normally trained dog. I think his power is pretty underlooked, and it's generally great for the position he had.

Cluck seems to use an equivalent power when she commands birds to deliver messages to every Hunter, though she's probably able to do other stuff in addition.
@@Waluigi101
I'm not saying it's 100% useless, just mostly. A well trained dog can attack, guard, and find drugs, even if they're not intelligent enough for full-on espionage. Squala's dogs are better than normal trained dogs, but not enough to justify a Nen user dedicated to them.

On the topic of Abengane, I think it's more complex than that. I think that the exorcism isn't Abengane's main hatsu, just the only one that we've actually seen him use. Also, his invocation of the "spirits of the forest" and the general actions he took to invoke the ability suggest that it's some kind of ritual, reminiscent of a shamanic practice, which could indicate that this is more of a technique-type hatsu, passed down from master to student in some kind of enclosed community - in a similar air as Hanzo has his "ninja arts" of which Kagebunshin no jutsu is one of, implying that any accomplished ninja from his clan is capable of.
As a South African, I felt goosebumps when I saw the name "Abengane" which sounds similar to "Abangane", a Zulu term for Children.
I'm a Theta stan, and this triggered me. She effortlessly emmited a small Nen ball to 4th Prince without harming him, and, although you said it, she has a lot of knowledge about Nen. She's in a situation were she's trying to disclose the less Nen info possible, and she's constantly facing 4th Prince on her own, which you consider as one of the best Nen Users. Not everyone can resist being near Tserried for too long when his Beasts are idle, and she does it with a lot confidence. If it weren't for Tserried's King Crimson-like ability, she would've killed him with a brilliant strategy.
I'm not saying she's one of the best since we haven't seen her fight, but given all her knowledge and the little Nen display she did, she seems to be at Knuckle's level. I wouldn't have put her on this list. But I guess she was just unlucky and your numbers seem to be accurate still. There are many good Nen Users already in the series. I expect to see more from her in the future though.
It's crazy how many skilled nen users the sucession war arc has thrown at us at once
Knuckle is stronger than kite lol she is no where near his level
It’s so crazy because recently the creator of hunter x hunter put out tier list for best nen users and Abegane is one of 7 ultimate users along with komogi
The girl with an ability that PREDICTS the FUTURE is a worse nen user than a girl who can play one specific board game really well? I think you might want to revise your methodology a bit there, guy.
I think what he means is that she’s an awful user. Obviously her power is awesome but she.. doesn’t really use it to it’s full potential?
@@JimJamJom it seems to me that someone who uses nen to do something useful is by definition a better user than one who can only do something totally useless
@@patrickcharzin3062 Maybe. I don’t really agree with the rankings either but.. if you use something stupid in great way, it’s better than using something great in a dumb way. For example, in Minecraft, I’d prefer to have a stone/wooden pickaxe than a diamond hoe.
I agree. I think alot of the placements on this list are wrong. If anything, Komugi or Alluka are the worst nen users. Komugi's ability can only be used for a useless board game and Alluka cant even use his own ability. I think Alluka is worse though because although it has far greater uses, the negative outcome results in more than one persons death and can even wipe out his whole family of powerful nen users.
@@hunterbundrick3685 You mean HER. Alluka is transgender, as confirmed by Togashi himself. And Alluka isn’t even a nen-user. The wish-granting ability comes from Nanika, who is a creature/being from the Dark Continent that came to possess Alluka when she was still very young. And the price is completely non-existent when a command comes from Killua because Nanika loves him and just wants his praise and affection.
Let's not forget that Gon beat Genthru pretty much on his own
Genthru wasn't trying to kill Gon though. If he was serious from the start, Gon had no chance.
Neon died... It’s confirmed in volume 36 of the manga. Her father’s business went to bankruptcy after she lost her powers.
How did nenon die? That is sad and did kurapika abandon her after that
No, the reason she's suspected to have died is because her powers disappeared from Chrollo's book. But at the moment, it is nothing more than a suspicion.
Kuroro didn’t had the ghost in Skill Hunter in volume 36 of the manga.
I thought hisoka killed her so the phantom troupe couldn’t read their fortunes anymore
Y'all also forgetting my boi Leorio learned Nen and made his Hatsu in the middle of MED SCHOOL.
The main 4 definitely have the same level of affinity for Nen
It's a shame that there is some characters that doesn't know how to use the powers granted to them by Tonpa Sama
you calling brovada bloster hit me like a freight train i was caught so off guard
Meruem: “In the hands of Gon, power brings nothing but ruin.”
When did he say that?
Gon and meruem didn't even talk to each other lmaoooooo
A few bees can make a elephant flee in terror. Hymenoptera are the most successful insects on our planet, which pretty much makes them the second most successful living creatures on this planet except humans. Ponzu could do some pretty crazy unique feats with that ability.
Too bad she was killed off so early, i think she had a ton of potential.
Pakunoda said "main character bad B alert!!"
Hey, this channel reached 200k, well done brother.
Having a hxh related channel is something that was well needed
For the last 10 years, there wasn’t much channels or even any who went that deep into hxh on daily basis
Although one of the most solid systems in anime, it feels like one of the most unforgiving. Unless you're absolutely blessed with nen, you can't just create an ability. You have to put genuine long thought out thinking into it and have the will to master it throughout years of experience and even if you are gifted with nen or nen potential, you can still end up with an absolutely garbage ability which Hisoka points out many times. The gifts of nen can very quickly turn to garbage which isn't even including restrictions and vows that further amplify nen abilities or screw you over because you overlooked one small detail.
That's what it feels like anyway
But that what makes it perfect it like human life itself anything can go wrong with contract or vow you can be bless with a good child hood and turn out awful or died and even when you put in full mastery into a skill you can still fail in life like they guy hisoka kills in heavens arena
Better than chakra, fairytale magic, black clover,
It's interesting you added people like Neon and Komugi when they clearly just happen to use nen by chance, no nen training, no fighting skills, no intention on having any versatility.
They are incredible in their own right as they are just normal people with a cool ability, or in Komugi's case, she's the representation of what Gon and Killua found out during the auction arc, where really talented people end up putting aura into their craft.
imagine if Leorio dropped studying to be a doctor but a fighter, the show would stop having Gon as the mc 😂😂
bruh punching your innards instead of your flesh is fucking terrifying of a nen ability lmao! Leorio definitely would be a dangerous and terrifying nen user if he trains combat skills instead of learning and studying to become a doctor xD
I was honestly just waiting for the Cheetu roast the whole video and I wasn't disappointed!
1:05, ya lied to me man. You didn't feature "some of the ladies", you only showed one in various attire! I call shenanigans!
My opinion is that the power system in the Parahumans series Worm and Ward is by far the best power system for many many reasons that I can’t state because spoilers. It is baked into the works in such ridiculously awesome ways, and is many layered in every meaning of the word.
"Poor yet delicious, pokkle" bruh
In killua's defense, he caused serious issues for pouf, and briefly held his own against youpi.
toward the end of the chimera ant arc killua had done some serious growth.
Well now abengene is now 25 mastery according to togashi
Being subscribed to the NenWorldReview to receive regular HunterxHunter content uploaded straight into my TH-cam feed is one thing, receiving HunterxHunter content uploaded straight into my TH-cam feed the exact second my work break starts is something else though!
With Cheetu, most people are forgetting a couple of very important factors surrounding his use of nen. His hatsu to create the pocket dimension with the game of tag was horribly crafted to his skill set ON PURPOSE. If you recall, this skill was created for him by Pouf, the royal guard, and the royal guard stated earlier that they did not trust the chimera ant soldiers, nor did they want to keep them around. They simply were going to use them to stall the hunter association, and then be discarded after. As such, the skill Pouf gives to Cheetu fits the royal guard agenda perfectly. It is terrible when combined with Cheetu's skills and personality, hence making it a non-threat should the soldiers ever betray the royal guard, he cannot ever learn from his mistakes to eventually master it either as it cannot be used after he inevitably loses, and it is a great way to waste the time of whoever Cheetu uses it on.
And it worked beautifully in Pouf's favor. Before the big showdown with the Royal Guard, Morel himself states that he is quite tired from the repeated fights he was in with the chimera soldiers, only able to function at something like 60% of his max potential I believe. And the long waiting game with Cheetu denied him a chance to either get some rest in, as he was only pretending to nap while in the pocket dimension on full alert the entire time, or actually do anything to undermine the Royal Guard and/or prepare for the final showdown. As such, Cheetu's failures are just Pouf's accomplishments. Doesn't change his ranking as a terrible Nen user, just means he was sabotaged and used, and Pouf is even more brilliant for it.
As for the Crossbow, it actually had the potential to actually be a decent item to Cheetu, if he just understood what he should be doing with it. Of course, he is only a few months old and one of the most childish acting chimera ants, so he did not realize this, and I suspect Morel was intentionally misleading him by mocking the ability to further frustrate Cheetu. A ranged weapon that shoot projectiles slower than himself seems useless at first, however he just needs to learn how to use it properly. If he were to fire the crossbow forwards while running, he would be adding his own incredible speed to the bolts it is firing, giving them a TON of speed and power. Imagine Cheetu running at his opponent, firing off bolts that go even faster than him, before going in for a melee attack. It would be really hard for an opponent to react fast enough to deal with the multiple, incredibly fast attacks coming at him nearly simultaneously, and Cheetu could even change direction after firing his bolts to attack from a second angle, further making it harder for his opponent to deal with attacks coming from different directions. He just needed to learn how to properly use this weapon he created, and probably improve it by using transmutation to give it special qualities over a normal crossbow and add some conditions to increase its power and efficiency. Another example of him being very young and inexperienced despite having strong natural abilities, and it would have been interesting to see what could have happened had he lived long enough to learn from his defeats.
The thing about the Hunter X Hunter world is, most people don't get the luxury of having multiple defeats without being brutally murdered lol. That's why it's so important to train well and learn right the first time
The score circle thing is not consistent and it's annoying me.
The scale changes which each person, which makes it useless and confusing.
That’s... the point. The more a nen user has proficiency in a certain the area, the more the dot representing it will be closer to the outside of the circle.
Leorio simply lacks motivation to learn the variety that his hatsu holds. Plus togashi having him and kurapika play a bigger role in the manga somethings might train. Like Ging going out his way to teach leorio or he gets lessons from Cheadle on how to improve his Hatsu
As much as I love nen, I still don't like that everyone has a different amount of aura they're just born with, and some people just have an unbelievable amount of it
Yea it sucks, but from what I can remember, didn't Bisky say that you can increase it through training? It's been awhile so correct me if I'm wrong.
"I don't like the fact that there are more talented people than others in a specific field"
Guys, don't let him find out about real life, he'll hate it.
@@ThunderTrovoadas but this is anime, and I do understand your argument. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on this.
@@ThunderTrovoadas no one born talented, i dont know what you are saying, Well some can be born in rich family or poor but no is born talented or with knowledge of world or anything
@@hugon6717 This is anime, yes. But does it mean it should ignore the fact that some people are more capable than others?... I mean, protagonism wouldn't even be nearly as accepted if this concept wasn't justifiable by real life.
Making everyone equal in such field is just nonsensical to me, having handicapped characters make for much more interesting narrative.
You should produce a spreadsheet of all 119 men users and publish it online so that everyone can see and it. I think a lot of people would be interested in the scores of the 79 characters who weren't in either best or worst 20 characters.
Im still shocked how Ponzu died...
yes its still way too bloody how a character people liked like her dies in such a way
That too horrific way how she die at least the ant that ate her was crush death by that Jupiter attack
@@Lobby0 she was a unprepared rookie in a warzone with bloodthirsty combatants, Stfu you SIMP.
Great video
I hope you make video with ranking of all users
Im really intrest where characters like
Genthru,knunckle,kastro would be
Im always being fan of the cool mid tiers xd
An anime so great and a power system so good...
I feel that the general day to day of each nen user could have been better taken into account, for example, Komugi spent at least 90% of her awake time once she had nen, using it to play gungi. The thing it was for, after all, specialists aren’t the worst in what they actually spend time on even if they would be in unrelated categories of a similar profession.
What if the worst nen user is the first nen user himself??(Jaden smith's tweet theme)
11:01 I had friend, he's never been into anime and probably will never be. He knew I was into anime and he came to me, twenty years ago (give or take), really excited. He had just randomly seen the fight between Uvogin and the Shadow Beasts. "... And there was this massive dude! He was against four other users, they were powerful too! They had cool abilities, I thought they were going to kill the big dude, it was a really good fight, but the big dude ended up winning". I'll never tell him about this ranking, it'd break his heart.
Next time please make a husbando slideshow.
Neon actually had no idea she was using nen! She explains it as her wanting to predict futures very badly after watching a fortune teller do it, who was later confirmed a fraud. So it is very similar to Komugi in that sense!
Don't you guys believe that godspeed alone (against a Royal guard) is a feat that should place Killua in the top 20?
Killua can only use Godspeed for a short while and in the end it didn't do shit against Youpi other then annoy him
@@King26J Speedblitz a Chimera is very relevant, if he faces someone he can effectively one shot, say, Feitan, that ability would be fucking broken. Plus, he can paralyze people with each blow.
I have a bad day, but seeing people comment about cheetu's ability put a smile on my face
yay, more Waifu pics :)
I have used my detective abilities to deduce your fascination with Pakunoda as 'fact'.
And that's perfectly reasonable.
I am 5th! finally lol
I was promised ladies(plural), however I was given lady(singular) in paku. Now I have to become an academic.
Dammit newworldreview driving pakunoda deeper and deeper into my heart 😩
Silva crushing Cheetu's head was actually an act of mercy
'The Guard'
>Killua toying with Youpi
Leorios ability got upgraded by ging. i hope leorio can unlock that too. thats OP af. multiple fists like lasers from all directions.
I think Komugi deserves more points in versatility. We only see it in Gungi but who's to say when she's older she doesn't become a world leader with her skills in all things involving strategy
I just love that every image is of pakunoda
Leorio is quite underrated. While WING open Gon's and Killuas Nen in one night, is quite propably that Leorio just meditated alone. Zushi needed few months to learn how to activate nen so leorio progress is not so bad. The only nen guins from main 4 is Kurapila who in the same time while Gon learned 4 major priciples he created few versitile nen Hatsu.
How do you always manage to upload your videos at the best time, when my break starts from online lessons?
11:33 that’s what you get when you try to get a group of people based off animals
Hey I'm a big fan of your series, but for data visualization I recommend you keep the circle scales the same size. (i.e. always show the outer most ring as 30) That way our monkey brains can quickly see more area = better, less area = worse. With the constantly changing scale our monkey brain has to do work to scale up and down the area appropriately, at that point its easier to just look at the numbers.
I LOVE LOVE NEN, it’s seems very balanced and I enjoy that. But it can be taken to extreme feets that most nen users will never achieve
Congrats on 200k Liam
I can vouch for the whole community when I say, i would love to see the whole list in some capacity :)
Nice video, straightforward visuals and information. Love that stuff
1:53 Seven tools of the bandit NOICE
I'm already calling it. Leorio's arc will be the Dark Continent. Among the 5 main characters( I included Hisoka) he is the less developed but also the one who resolved to violence the less, he even haven't put blood in his hands(haven't killed yet). For me he is the most righteous among the main characters and that might be challenged when faced with unknown yet stronger species. Will he fight them or will he try to understand them? Only the author knows.
I’ve just started watching the series for the first time recently (I’m at the part where Kurapika wins against the bear man dude) and one thing I don’t understand is why all of the characters, particularly the experienced ones, constantly refer to other characters as “nen users.” 200th floor of Heaven’s Arena? Everyone’s a nen user. Going to be a real hunter? Nen is pretty much a basic requirement. Bad guys boldly kill everyone in an auction house and try to steal all the items right in the face of all the mafia families? Not sure why their mafia pursuers felt the need to call them nen users, because duh. And it’s not just like a one-off, “Watch out, they’re a nen user!” It’s like in every sentence of this show ever since Gon and Killua learned it at the arena. What should be somewhat obvious and trivial to all of these nen experts is constantly focused on as if it’s still something rare and exceptional against formidable opponents, which the Heaven’s Arena and second Hunter exam proved it isn’t.
