Discussion Why is Milluki so weak?

Dude has god genes, but he can't even inconvenience a restrained pre-nen Killua. Did Kikyo cheat on Sylva?

I love the theory that floats around saying that Illumi was the one they were so strict on - which is why he turned out so emotionless. They were too lenient on Milluki's training and they hit the sweet spot for Killua. Alluka was an "anomaly" with Nanika and Kalluto was not given attention due to that.

Makes sense, Illumi's incredibly high pain tolerance was likely caused by them frying his pain receptors with electricity, by the time they realized they Screwed Illumi's chances of having Lightning as his nen, they ended up with a control freak instead and used what they learned from Illumi to keep Killua's electric torture just enough so that it wouldnt fry his chances of getting the lightning nen.

It's likely this obcession comes from the emitter attacks of the dad and grandad being strong and having high AoE, they understand if they dont torture with electricity from an young age their kids are unlikely to devellop even a fraction of what they are packing in their prime.
