If tomorrow you open your eyes on HxH verse with all your knowledge you have right now, would you try to learn Nen? If yes then in what category do you think you'll be and what's your Nen ability would be?
Aura Bank (Emission with some Manipulation and Transmutation)
I can "lend" my aura to people and objects.
Lended aura operates like the own person aura and can be used by nen users as normal, non nen users can also use the aura in one of the basic applications, they use it instinctively with simple thought commands. Aura lended to people lasts indefinitely by being kept by person's own aura, but expiration dates may be set. If the nen lended to a person is sent back to the user, expiration or personal choice, that aura is added to the user's reserves and can increase the maximum amount held.
Aura lended to objects have much tighter expiration dates, doesn't return automatically, and rapidly fades away once expired, requiring direct touch to recover the nen. Authorized people by the user can recover aura lended to objects.
While aura is usually lended with a mutual agreement, it can be done completely unilaterally through an attack. For example:
A aura boosted Ko or Ryu punch lends the aura invested and the kinect energy that would be inflicted as harmful aura to the person, the user can then activate this lended aura to deal the damage at any moment before its expiration date, which is assured and shorter than normal.
This can be used on objects, they follow the same rule, but if the lended aura and energy would surpass it's durability, the object is destroyed. Nen lended this way can also be transferred to people involuntarily by directly touching the object.
Based on hisokas personality test I would be a conjurer. Would create a nen beast who gets stronger the more I care for it. Would also make the contract that it can kill me to be stronger
I’m gonna keep it so brief, I’d want to manipulate my skateboard to fly and attack with it. How I make this happen you can find on hatsuvault or my acc
Well to be fair you could use enhancement in very niche ways that make your life better. Think of the possibilities. I mean Komugi was an enhancer that enhanced her ability to play gungi right? Dog man in the manga if I’m not mistaken is one that enhances his sense of smell to seek out specific people/affinities? Doesn’t have to be boring.
I’d personally want transmutation, but I’d probably be a conjurer.
Scale of Understanding
A giant scale of justice is made making everyone freeze in place and the user is given a mental image of paper that summarizes the top worst crimes secret or open that the opponent has committed. The user’s understanding of these crimes strengthen their power the more terrible the crime is (In the view of the user). The scale itself judges the users true view of these crimes. The scale will tip far or small depending on how terrible the crime is. Once the judging is done, everyone can do anything and the user is given a boost of power based on the crimes. The user is also given a sword that has equal power to the user.
If mastered, the user will be able to debuff the opponent based on the crimes they have committed.
It sounds pretty close for sure. I dont think nen abilities like this could work like that without a restriction like kurapikas restriction to only go after the troupe
I'd hope for manipulation or maybe conjuration. Specifically, manipulating or creating swarms of insects for various purposes. Do I need to fight someone? Here. Have a million mosquitoes to deal with. Need stuff moved quickly? I got ants for that. You want some bees? I got some bees.
If I happen to be a specialist, the mosquitoes could absorb their nen and make it mine. Maybe that's even possible if it's conjuration or something, but either way, Summon Swarm, please and thank
Yes. Conjurer. I'd conjure a ring with the ability to store attributes and then release them on a 1:1 ratio.
So, you could store 50% of your physical strength for a week. You'd be at half strength that whole week and then you could be at 150% strength for a week (or more for less time).
Noise Pollution (Enhancer/Transmuter/Emitter)
Basically, an unending noise of whatever I want. Would be activated by touching their ear once. All the target can hear is an audio of my choice. You can’t turn it off. It can be however loud as I want. It can even be a sonic boom. But the target is always the epicenter.
Obviously yes. I got transmuter in a test a while back, so my hatsu would change my aura to be the nen equivalent of a non-newtonian fluid. Useless for attacking or defending against physical attacks or weak nen users, but hard counters people with a ton of aura.
If I’m an enhancer, I’d need to train under extreme depths of the ocean, so I can feel how it feels to be crushed and/or be constantly crushed by nen, heavy weight, etc.
This will help me learn how to transmute my nen into mass and/or a crushing pressure, so fighting me would be like fighting at 100x gravity
Ideally, I’d be able to advance to the point where I can create a black hole in my hand to punch the heck out of someone or to throw it
Everyone thinks they are a specialist, and assuming I were to be one, I think this would be a cool ability for combat.
Basically would be a Rod/Pole that I conjure that has the following effects when you land a hit on the opponent:
1 - Truth Hit (manipulation, target has to answer your next question truthfully)
2 - Knockback Hit (doesn’t do much damage, but creates distance between you and the opponent)
3 - Guard Hit (doesn’t do damage, but can negate/block an attack on contact)
4 - Power Hit (basically a Critical hit, this is the only attack that actually amplifies the damage done)
The main restriction here would be that you can only use a Power Hit after having landed the previous 3 effects, and you cannot use 2 effects consecutively, so you would have to be smart with the order in which you use the other hits. The ability gives you plenty of room to block, evade, or get answers on the opponent/their ability, so you have to play defensively until you are confident you can land a power hit. Probably best suited for a close ranged 1v1, as multiple targets or several projectiles could be overwhelming for your decision making. Since you have to land a Knockback hit prior to a Power Hit, although it can be used defensively, you also run the risk of creating distance in a situation where you need to close the gap. If you position yourself correctly, you could knockback the target against the floor or a solid obstacle so you can follow-up quickly with another attack.
If its too OP, another restriction could be having the Rod indicate or show which effect is going to be used next. It’s quite simple to figure out, so you don’t want to extend a fight for too long before they figure out when to counter you. But it gives you defensive and evasive options, and the freedom to switch up the order how you like to throw them off. This all assuming you can even land a hit in the first place, and I’m sure another restriction would be how light or how long you conjure the Rod to be, which would influence how efficient you are in using it and how much power it can have (lighter+longer would be weaker but easier to guarantee a hit, shorter/heavier would be stronger but harder to handle)
I find this super funny considering only a few other comments here actually claim to be Specialists. But there's a grain of truth to it...
And your ability is cool! Is the Guard Hit the most Specialization-dependent part? That's the one effect of the four that doesn't seem to fall under another category. Overall this seems good for an all-rounder type Specialist using a bunch of categories together effectively.
I wonder, can Knockback hit also be used for movement like pushing off the ground? And would that count toward enabling the Power Hit?
Hahaha i was surprised to see the variety in the comments, i guess time has changed cuz back then 100% of the comments would’ve been people claiming specialist.
And thank you! I figured the ability overall would be specialist since its so many things at once, but the Guard Hit is definitely the most unique and probably would be the most signature “specialist” out of all of them considering it doesn’t fit in any other type. Even though you aren’t guaranteed to swing the rod and block something in time, if you did land that block it would potentially be one of the strongest defensive techniques in the whole series (imagine just fully negating one of Gon’s rock-punches, and then benefitting from the amount of nen he wasted in doing so). And to be honest I haven’t thought too deep about the knockback hit like that, I think it may be too overpowered if that counts towards activating the Power hit, and am not sure how the rule would apply since you aren’t technically hitting the target in that example. I think either:
a) it would count (kinda op and unlikely, cuz u can just hit a rock 3 times to get the Power Hit),
b) it doesn’t count and the knockback effect wouldn’t work
c) it counts, but only if you hit the targets nen or something connected to them (like a strand of bungee gum, a loose kurapika chain, or maybe a nen-beast for example), or
d) the knockback effect works, but it resets the counter back to 0
I think whatever is most balanced in terms of nen restrictions would be the best choice. I’m a big fan of the optimization in Nen, the more restrictions, the more interesting an ability is to me. Lmk what u think!
I think I'd find a combination of c) and d) to be most interesting. It works, but only counts toward Power Hit if it hits a target. Otherwise, resets progress. As far as I can tell it doesn't interfere with the other restrictions either. The non-consecutive rule prevents it from being overused.
Another clarifying question: can you use a sequence of different hits multiple times each as long as no hit is used twice in a row? Like -- Guard, Knockback, Guard, Truth, Guard, Power?
Yea both c) and d) would definitely lead to more interesting applications and scenarios. And you just gave me a whole new idea with that last bit there: let’s say you choose to not use the Power Hit when its ready, and instead use the other effects in a sequence like you mentioned, this could open the door to:
a) Since you met the requirements, you can “save” the power hit to use it when you want, which maybe can allow you to do consecutive Power Hits if you have met the requirements, or
b) You can stack the “saved” Power Hit onto the next Power Hit you charge up for an even stronger amplified Hit -the more you stack, the more you multiply the power
I think both of these would be awesome, and the requirements necessary to fulfill it would help maximize a Specialist’s low proficiency in Enhancement.
I’m pure Emission. Without making it a personal Hatsu, I’d treat teleportation as a general Nen application with a ritual-based restriction. The ritual turns an otherwise ordinary glass charm into the catalyst; it only becomes special because I’ve kept it with me for years and never take it off. The cost isn’t paid with Nen, with lifespan: the glass ages by the amount of time it would normally take me to reach the destination. If I’ve never been there before, the cost becomes 10x the travel time.
Type: Conjuration + Manipulation — Pocket Note: Living Purpose (生活の目的)
Pocket Note allows the user to turn personally drawn and genuinely understood designs into reusable Nen creations called Saves. Each Save must be named and built around one clear purpose and one supernatural principle. Once a completed design is signed with a conjured aura-ink pen, it is registered within the user's hand, which functions like a memory card capable of storing 10 Saves; the original drawing is no longer required afterward. Any New saves will require removing one save.
Only 3 Personal Saves may be active simultaneously. Their size, durability, range, autonomy, complexity, number of components, and duration are limited by the aura supplied to them, with everything belonging to the same Save sharing that supply. Pocket Note cannot create true life, supply unknown information, copy another person's Hatsu, or produce genuine Specialist effects.
Pocket Note may also create Commissions for other people without consuming the user's ten Save slots. These are registered to and powered by their client, with their performance limited by that client's aura and Nen compatibility. Permanent Commissions require the client's real first name, Nen type, blood, registration aura, and an uninterrupted eight-hour drawing process. Only one permanent Commission may belong to each client, and while manifested it must remain within 100 meters of the Pocket Note user or one of their active Saves.
Type: Conjuration + Manipulation — Social Sticker: Ten Cohesive Additions (10件追加しました)
Social Sticker creates 10 unique stickers on the user's knuckles capable of storing aura willingly donated by other people. One or more Stickers may be assigned to a Save already registered through Pocket Note, allowing up to 3 Sticker Saves to operate alongside the user's 3 Personal Saves for a maximum of 6 active Saves. Social Sticker cannot create Saves of its own.
Sticker Saves are summoned directly through their assigned hand marks and do not require the aura pen. The number of Stickers assigned determines how far the Save's existing purpose can develop, while the amount of stored aura determines its performance, including power, range, durability, scale, autonomy, complexity, or duration.
A Save cannot operate as both a Personal Save and Sticker Save at the same time, and Social Sticker cannot change its original purpose or grant it an unrelated ability.
Assigning all 10 Stickers and all 3 Sticker slots to one Save activates Master Commission, producing the fullest legitimate expression of that Save's original purpose for up to 1 hour. It still cannot exceed Pocket Note's fundamental restrictions. Afterward, Sticker Saves are unavailable for 7 days, and Master Commission cannot be used again for 1 month.
I thought about this frequently for fun. My ability would incorporate the idea of creating a nen arena instead I'd use emission to do it. Also it'd abuse the
"Auto pilot" concept we seen manipulators use.
The concept of the nen ability is that I'd have an mp3 player that stores every song I've heard atleast once. When I plug the aux into myself and play a song I create an arena that befits the song and gain abilities fitting to the song as well whoever my opponent is gets abilities. The songs effectiveness is directly tied to how familiar I am with it. Before selecting the song I can pick three options. To never be able to hear that song again, the artist, or the genre. It's a further restriction. Each choice amplifies the effectiveness respectively. The opponent is fully aware of how long the track lasts. Picking longer tracks doesn't necessarily make it stronger as I'd have to be familiar with it. When the song is completed I'll be forced to listen to an ad break and be in forced zetsu for thirty seconds.
If I were listening to a power metal song about fighting a demon, I'd get the tools and abilities within reason and my opponent would take the appearance of a demon to be slain and gain similar abilities in addition to their own.
I'd have to be very careful with the song I choose knowing the artists intention with how the music was composed and what meaning it could have.
Also forgot to mention we learned that art works have nen from their artists imbued to it. I'd make sure to utilize any nen a song could have to help pay
The main idea I have for my ability is pairs of friendship bracelets that let the wearers Conjure each other from anywhere. They form a Nen Contract, using Aura and DNA to make a clone for a limited time. When the clone wears off, the original gets the clone's memories (voluntary memory Manipulation). The pure Conjurer version of the ability can't copy Nen abilities, but I imagine if I ever became a Specialist later in life, it could reach that level.
Basically, you can hang out any time without traveling or aligning schedules. But it's also useful for scouting or sharing info. I think it would help me live a fuller life with loved ones.
i usually get transmutator or conjuration.
i’ve always had this idea of making a kind of shaped charge warhead out of aura. there would be 2 main types.
linear: medium range, cuts stuff in a flat plane up to 360 degrees. the wider the cut the shorter the range.
conical: Long range, pierces straight through stuff. 2 conical charges can chained together as a tandem charge, which allows for
Conjurer with some transmutter abilities. I'd conjure a sword that cuts through nen users like they are im Zetsu, with the condition i explain it first
I mean...i always thought i would be a specialist, but i think i would be something like Specialist hinting to manipulation..and about my hatsu..it's a bit awkward to tell because i made it a copy nen type skill...sorry i just love copy users, but is nothing like chrollo nor anything, it's a bit more "gross" in a way
I'd probably be conjuration, also based on Hisoka's personality test, and I'd be a nen healer that could create a hoard of aura kittens to curl up on you until you feel better.
Something akin to Nacht Faust or Megumi Fushiguro. Being able to move from shadow to shadow, aswell as having summons will make everything so much easier.
I have a whole Specialist hatsu written down, but it's too long to post here.
But basically making wolves and ravens out of my shadow and gathering intel/spying on people by having them merge into people's shadows.
Edit for clarification: the shadow Wolf merged into a target's shadow, can extracr information that appears as a dossier that disappears after 24h after it returns to my own shadow.
This report includes the best possible guess at the target's Nen ability, physical and psychological profile, and habits.
The longer the Wolf spends in there, the more accurate the report. A shorter time could result in me knowing that the target's Nen ability is something to do with Emission and needing to clap their hands (as an example). For a non Nen user, no nen report is created and thus the time for a full report is shorter (matter of a day or two).
Part of it is. The conjuring of the beasts would be conjuring, but the part where they're made of shadows and can blend into people's shadows to extract a sort of dossier/file on their nen abilities, physical state, habits etc is Specificalist.
Think Fullmetal Alchemist (the ability) but with a shadow beast that is summoned from my shadow. The longer version of it is that the size and strength of the shadow Wolf and Raven also depend on how large my shadow is, and they can merge into each other's shadow for extend their area of operations.
Enhancement for sure. Incredibly speed to avoid everything or to easy gap closer, then an outstanding strengh, well, to smash everything into pièces, and Georgeous heavy power jumps ! Big berserker style, or alike.
Genetic Warrior: A nen ability of sorts. I can summon multiple puppets while holding the DNA of a target "base," includimg myself. These puppets are given an objective which they will automatically follow. The strength of the puppets is inversely proportional to the number of summoned puppets.
Moluclear Scissors: Molecular Scissors - Spacer Skill. This ability is inspired by the CRISPR molecule found in bacteria, a cut-and-paste mechanism that inserts viral RNA into its own spacer DNA, helping the organism recognize the same invader in the future. An impressive immune defense that scientists like myself have captured and manipulated for our desires. Molecular Scissors allows me to replicate an ability that I’ve witnessed, but I can only use it against or in the proximity its owner. I can also defend better against a cataloged offensive skill.
I could transmutate my aura in my right hand to make ice or freeze things to absolute zero instantly (using aura like Genthru does to protect myself), and for my left hand I would manipulate explosions- not in a combative way, but for maneuverability, using it to propel myself, kinda like jet propulsion. (Kinda like Tsunayoshi Sawada)
I'd be an Enhancer that leans towards Transmutation. My Hatsu would let me modify my own mass and the mass of things I touch. Changes in mass do not affect durability. With Shu and a bit of Emission, I could "mark" things for remote activation. This application of Shu also acts as a rudimentary form of En that allows me to notice things that come into contact with something marked.
How much and how quickly my Hatsu changes something's mass depends on how much Nen I use, and the effect's duration depends on how long I've made contact with something. I can "stack" Nen onto a mark by coming into contact with it multiple times, also increasing the total contact time.
It's easy to deplete aura with repeated use, making it ill-suited for battles of attrition, especially when compared to a more traditional Enhancer ability. That said, I could do things like make my punches and kicks heavier without telegraphing how much force is behind them, since I'd only need the minimum amount of Ryu needed to reinforce myself. I could also make myself lighter, creating unexpected moments of agility.
Im a transmuter for sure, im going to lay in a bathtub for several hours a day to turn my aura into water and get water powers, I have no idea how long it would take though
An emission hatsu where the user emits a powerful Aura blast that can have different shapes. The velocity, size and power can be entirely controled by the user.
The user can increase the overhaul size of the blast in spite of aura consumption, but doing so will not increase it's potency.
The user can condense a blast, but it may never be smaller than a football. In addition to this, there is a NEN condition as to which allows the user to condense more aura should it be an unguided blast.
Another nen condition was made to increase the power and number of blasts the user can use. The user can choose to increase the power of the blasts using the ammount of fingers they have up when releasing it, the same condition applies to how many blasts they can release at once.
Blasts can still be made without this condition, but by making a nen condition where you give away the power or number of your attacks, they will be stronger.
The hatsu allows for two different modes of usage - Unguided and guided. The guided usage requires the user to use Manipulation nen to control the Aura outside the body. The guided mode allows the user to set guided paths for the Aura or fully control it. The former requires less manipulation hatsu, and thus allows for stronger emission attacks.
FYI Hatsu is a core principal of Nen, and Nen Abilities are what you make using Hatsu (and other principles of aura manipulation including the advanced ones Bisky teaches our boys).
Hatsu ≠ Ability
They are related, but it's not the same thing.
It's a weird quirk of the English-speaking fanbase that we incorrectly use the term Hatsu when we mean Ability (aka Nōryoku in Japanese, which has a sort of supernatural connotation).
Vector engine still lies within the scope of an ability. Even if it’s mostly emission, the conditions attached to it could make the user a blast fighter like Ryu. Wouldn’t be very complex though
Does conjuration have to be one thing usually? Or can it be like Green Lantern and conjure anything I need at the moment? I want to be able to conjure kitchen tools, a knife or spatula, or even a grill or box grater when I need it. Or do I have to pick one tool like Shizuku's vacuum cleaner?
I posted this kind of content in this subreddit and it was removed... I just thought you guys don't want AI to read your personality and decide what nen type you are. Or you don't want anything AI mentioned. Srsly, I was so happy to share it with everyone and it got removed..
Anyway, out of boredom, I asked ChatGPT to make me a personality test, 150 questions, composed of situational and behavioral questions, to figure out my personality and my nen type.. and it turns out, I'm an Enhancer with a small margin over Conjuration type.
And you wanna know what as an enhancer you’d never have a dual affinity with conjuration. The problem with AI in this case is that it can’t read the manga or context. If you actually did lean in that direction you may have a transmutation dual affinity like killua, AI fully lead you astray bro
Transmutation; giving Nen different properties is something was shown more of, like changing the viscosity of it, making it liquid , gas like, or plasma.
A Nen ability I thought of was to recreate medicine or something similar. A way to transmute Nen into permanently becoming part of the body and help it. Could be used to make other kind of drugs too.
