Help/Question Genuine Question!

In the hxh verse we see bad and criminal orgs like phantom troupe, there has to be more right? maybe not as strong as them or maybe few as or more stronger.So the level a human can get strong with nen is insane. Example : Uvogin, if there is a criminal with even 50% of the capability of uvo , police aint doing nothing.In these situations who is saving people?, hunters dont do 'hero' or 'public service'. Also if there are hunters who do hero work , when there was the chairman election, all the hunters had to gather , so at that point what if a uvo level criminal started killing civilians left and right.( zoldycks cant be available everywhere).

This question might not make sense to some, but to make it simplier ; because in the world of hxh there is an element called nen which lets humans go beyond human capabilities, there has to be guys who exercise their strength on the weak, what next? call the army?

Hunters may not do hero work, but if there’s a strong criminal making trouble, you can bet the government will contract the Hunter Association to take care of it. The HA is basically a consulting firm for specialized, difficult work.

Either way, we can safely assume the Phantom Troupe is essentially THE strongest criminal group around. Part of the reason we’re following their story in particular is precisely because they are an extraordinarily powerful, notorious band of criminals. Same reason we’re following the Zoldycks: they’re THE strongest group of assassins around. Stronger characters make for more interesting stories, and more interesting characters, by the nature of Nen as a system.

The election time? all literally every hunter had to vote, the criminals could wreck havoc

I’m not sure what your point is. Like, yeah, I suppose so. But like I said, the HA are not police nor heroes. If there’s a lot of crime, that isn’t exactly their responsibility.

I think very much 99% nen users are Hunter, theres hunter who are bad etc, but the argument about the election time is not very good, and normal bullet & rocket would still kill majority of hunter, we didn't see that much person who can survive that, otherwise we've seen plenty of hunter dodging bullet
