I think the last chapter with Morena in my mind showed that Gon or killua could already be specialists but like morena said focused on one style rather than realizing their potential... Maybe Gon realizes he's specialist due to having to relearn his nen and isn't trapped with bad habits such as morena was suggesting 😊

If it's rare but possible for *any* affinity to become specialist later in life, and Gon "used his potential" which consisted of only enhancement techniques, then all that is left for him is that formerly "rare" chance. He's 100% specialist now because it's the only option left for him after his Contract against Pitou. As for your implication that Gon doesn't seem like the type to become specialist I disagree. Pre-Biskie training Gon uses Zetsu primarily as a way to Hunt, before ever even learning about nen, to a degree that shocks even HISOKA. This is similar to another current fan favorite in TerrorSandwich. This method of fighting is something Gon completely forsakes after training under Biskie in favor of standing in the open and punching shit really hard when his enemy comes close. It's the COMPLETE opposite of what his natural inclination was. This zetsu oriented style is likely something that still exists in him, and if he can't RELEASE his aura, then maybe he has to figure out how to use the nen inside him instead. He sacrificed his potential, but what was he considering his potential at that point? It was the potential he had to crush his enemies with raw power, something he wasn't naturally inclined to do at ALL. Something else to consider in relation to this is the recent specialist discussion in manga which suggests it's possible that most specialists aren't even considered specialists, and that's why they only "become" specialists later in life and have such a small % chance to be publicly known and recognized. Gon was taught nen in 1v1 fights almost exclusively, of course he presented himself as an enhancer. When his training was failing him in Heaven's Arena what did he do? He went into zetsu to sense everything around him and dodge automatically. Note: He goes into ZETSU for this, he doesn't use En, which would expand his aura to sense things within it. No one ever talks about this shit and how insane it was, both to do in the first place and how well he actually pulled it off without ever training to do so. He NEVER does this again; why? Because everyone beats him over the head about how stupid and bad it was. But that's what he does... naturally. He wants to go into zetsu and use a fishing rod to strike at the perfect moment in complete surprise. And guess why his potential was destroyed by Biskie's training? The nen school of teaching that Netero founded - one that he likely came up with to breed and train opponents for himself to fight; a school completely uninterested in fights that don't prioritize 1v1 duels. Netero's desires damned most specialists to being subpar punching robots and I will die on this hill. p.s. if humans originated in the DC how did they survive? Zetsu. Even Netero realized the "strength" he wanted could not be found there, only SURVIVAL. How do they survive NOW? They hide from the DC in a lake - species wide zetsu, essentially. Gon is a parallel to humanity - at their peak they survive calamities, and at their lowest they lash out; animals no greater than ants. p.p.s. Sorry this was a bit all over the place, I love HxH and think about it a LOT.

[@normal6483]

That point about how Gon used Zetsu to detect the spinning tops rather than En is such a good point. It's kind of crazy how good he is at Zetsu and how little he gets to rely on that. Even his original fighting style with the fishing rod was eventually discarded, but that's not how he naturally is. Now that he's returned to Whale Island it's a great opportunity to "return to his roots" and explore a different path in life. Even if he doesn't stop being an Enhancer, I think being a Zetsu-focused nen user is a really interesting idea for him to explore.

[@angrymeowngi]

Let's cook this shit together. Gon will unlock Ultra Zetsu. Then he will be the only Specialist who can face Teasandwich. Gon will be a hard counter since Gon's Ultra Zetsu makes him invisible not just in the present but also in the future. Teasersandwich won't be able to see him in the present and all the parallel futures and Gon will just punch his head off and all the futures resulting in the present where Terasandwich's head will just explode.

[@luizrafael7939]

Couple things to consider here: 1- this hatsu hexagon is something humans made to compartment and better understand a nature concept that is Nen (same as RL when we try to understand orbital probabilities in quantum physics, nature just don't care that we draw things, it just exists and it's our job to try our best to put nature laws in a way we can grasp the understanding). That said and still in point 1, I guess saying that conjurers and manipulators could became specialists because they are the closest to special is probably wrong. There is something about people born manipulators or conjurers that makes them able to became specialists and THAT is why manipulation and conjuration is close to special. 2- Just food for thought, this hatsu hexagon is probably in near future about to change not to be a 1D line, but a 2D object. I mean by that someone can be placed i.e between enhancement, emission and manipulation ("inside" the hexagon)... That would create so much more room to creative development that honestly can blow our minds 😂

[@LoveRocketsable]

If kurapika uses his Scarlett eyes as a conduit for his specialist abilities, would that mean that the whole Kurta clan has an affinity for being specialists? Or is kuapika simply using his eyes more like a contract/stipulation?

[@Hexmoneyman]

They tested his nen type when his eyes turned scarlet. I don't think we ever saw how the water changed when his eyes were active.

[@jeom3808]

​@@Hexmoneyman that's actually the time the teacher tells Kurapika to try the water divination again and sees he is a specialist. I don't know if every kurta clan has it tho. It's not impossible tbh. It's a trait that activated with their very intense emotions and seemingly gave them naturally higher strength. We don't know for sure really, but at the end of the day they would still have to develop their specialist nen according to their main desire/goal. It's possible emperor's time did apply to all of them as a base/inherent trait if they trained in nen. We won't know, but it's possible that's why they were eliminated.... In fact, who's to say there isn't a powerful Kurta clan member in the kakin empire who called for the assasination of the others in order to prevent anyone being as strong as them. Kurta clan members had to go out into the world at one point in their life's, maybe one of them even had a one night stand or something. Or if one of them didn't return, it's not like the elders would share that info.

[@DaityaGod]

Nope he just uses nen contract to change the position for his main type and leaning type Scarlet eyes doesn't have super magic

[@jeom3808]

@DaityaGod sorry to say (cus i wanna agree) but we actually just don't have definitive prove on that. In fact there's slight suggestion of the opposite, sense even when Kurapika was little, his scarlet eyes gave him unnatural strength along with his intense emotions. The fact is we don't truly know what comes first, or which one lead to the other.(Kurapika's specialist trait and nen conditioning or the super natural strength of the eyes).

[@jeom3808]

@DaityaGod btw I double checked, and it's explicitly stated how the scarlet eyes are what give Kurapika immense strength even as a child. Enough to literally solo 3 grown adults. Love it or hate it, the eyes are more then just a cosmetic thing, they do come with some kind of buff, which leads to the potential that scarlet eyes are actually that impactful towards nen. We don't know because Kurapika is the only Nen user with kurta clan eyes. But it's also stated that the reason they are feared so much is exactly because of this strength. I would go as far as to theorize there's another kurta clan with scarlet eyes out there, someone that gave them such a reputation to begin with, maybe a half kurta, someone that could be part of the kakin empire, and is the main reason the troupe massacred the Kurta clan. It's purely speculation. But in short, we know for sure that the eyes have properties beyond just turning red. Togashi likes to play with traditional Shonen troupes, maybe that wasn't the original plan, but the eyes are in fact "magic", exactly to what extent we don't know. Maybe it's only a significant strength buff, maybe it's actually emperor's time for every kurta that can use nen, we just don't know. We only have the 1 kurta clan nen user, maybe we'll learn about another one later in this arc.

[@faisonx]

If I remember right, Nen types are also strongly tied to the individual's character After the life-altering changes Gon went through, he may turn out to be a different person in terms of how he views the world. If he awakens his Nen now with a different worldview, his Nen type could also be different🤷‍♂️

[@Hissingace110]

Izunavi says specialist is placed at that position on the chart because manipulators and conjurers are the "more likely" to accomplish the extremely rare transition to specialist. "More likely" to me implies pretty clearly that there are examples of other categories changing to specialist, and they're just even more rare.

[@zacharyfewins8087]

But the fact that the percentages work the same around it would imply that it isn’t arbitrarily placed there.

[@Hissingace110]

@@zacharyfewins8087 That's true, at least for other categories, but I've seen some reasonable speculation that the percentages work differently for actual specialists. As if their starting point could be anywhere on the chart. Otherwise, a specialist should have no hope of tanking a hit from a comparably powerful enhancer. Chrollo took countless hits from Zeno and Silva, including Silva's big explosive ability, practically unharmed. Both of whom are only one category removed from Enhancer.

[@NoConsequenc3]

@@zacharyfewins8087 it's placed there because manipulators and conjurors are most likely to become specialists. It wasn't arbitrary, it's specifically for that reason. It's special, but it's placement helps other affinities make sense.

[@zacharyfewins8087]

@@NoConsequenc3 same guy, same points, different response section. Why is there a gap in percentages between conjurer and manipulator if specialist doesn’t technically have a place on the wheel? If togashi had wanted it to not interact with the wheel he would’ve put it in the center. Conjurers and manipulators being more likely to become specialists isn’t enough of a reason as to put it on the wheel and mess up all the percentages. And they can have a leaning towards it and only from Conjuration and manipulation, which implies it certainly is in the wheel!

I think Alluka reverted Gon back to the state that he was in prior to learning Nen when she healed him. Probably necessary to void the nen contract that he made.

[@quacker2212]

Since Specialization doesn’t have a traditional location on the Nen ring, Gon could be a specialization-midpoint-enhancer, like how Milluki is a manipulator-midpoint-specialist.

[@zacharyfewins8087]

I don’t think that could occur, as specialist does still take up space on the ring. If it didn’t have an actual position, a pure conjurer would have 80% efficiency in manipulation, but they don’t.

[@NoConsequenc3]

@@zacharyfewins8087 the ring has specialist on the bottom because manipulators and conjurors are "most likely to become specialists" and it helps visualize the % affinities the nen types have for each other. The fact that specialists often use a plethora of nen affinities for their abilities (see: Morena's contagion being ALL affinities) it's far more likely that Quacker2212 is correct and that you're taking the placement far too literally. Specialists are just that: Special. The chart is for basically everyone else, not them.

[@zacharyfewins8087]

@@NoConsequenc3 then why is there a distinction where conjurers cannot use manipulation as well as they can transmutation? If specialist’s place is truly arbitrary that wouldn’t be the case. Inside of itself is likely an exception. Specialists probably can use all nen types equally well, but they still hold a place on the wheel from the perspective of every other type. If it doesn’t occupy the spot between manipulation and Conjuration then what does? Are we missing another core nen type(doesn’t seem to be the case)? It just makes logical sense that specialist fills that gap, and therefore would work that way in terms of nen leaning. This person’s idea is that Gon won’t change from an enhancer to a specialist, but sit on the middle point between them. There is no middle point between them.

[@NoConsequenc3]

​@@zacharyfewins8087 Specialists can use enhancement and all other affinities. I've already given you an example, but Kurapika is another. He is a conjuror/specialist but was using enhancement to such a degree that he speed blitz'd Uvogin and healed a broken arm in mere moments despite less than half a year of training, most done on his own. You think specialist is "just another affinity" but that's not true, it's SPECIAL.

[@zacharyfewins8087]

@@NoConsequenc3 you didn’t address a single point I made. I already agreed that specialists themselves have full efficiency with everything, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t hold that position in any other way. And you didn’t even acknowledge that I said anything about the gap between manipulator and conjurer. Why is it there? Why is a conjurer using manipulation different than a conjurer using transmutation?

[@laquanlucas6953]

Gon will work on his main hastu ability to fix some flaws with it scouted by knuckle. Gon just needs to polish some flaws about himself and work on. With the semester's worth of homework. Gon should have a creative idea of what he wants to reinvent his hastu. He needs to think more smarter and have a mindset like Ging.

[@NoConsequenc3]

I could see him devising a way to "scout" opponent' weaknesses by observing them while in a state of zetsu. The longer he observes the better info he gets, much like the Predator ability used by one of the assassins in the current Succession War arc. Difference being, I think Gon would put himself in position as the attacker - ala the Fisher King scene at the beginning of the story. He sits, he waits, he strikes, and he uses the knowledge he gained to use raw base-level human strength to outdo what are considered impossible targets.

[@keybladeking1151]

@@NoConsequenc3 true, we could see gon develop a whole other hatsu revolving around what he knows with fishing and maybe can incorporate the fishing rod into it as well.

I think the closer your nen type is towards specialisation the more the probability is for you to become a specialist

[@bazaarczar]

I love nen but I think it kinda sucks that if you’re a conjurer or manipulator you can only use one other type up to 80% due to specialization being 0%, compared to the others having two types up to 80%

[@user-zz3sn8ky7z]

To be fair, you can very easily bypass that restriction by simply conjuring something that has the ability you want instead

[@zacharyfewins8087]

In that sense, enhancement is the most versatile nen affinity, as the only thing you’re getting rid of is the 40% that you’re probably not gonna wanna use anyway.

[@bazaarczar]

Fair enough, now that I’m thinking about it, conjurers do have that advantage and manipulators can essentially one tap anybody if they fulfill their condition like shalnark with his antennae and illumi with his needles

Glad to see this content . I had these thoughts since the chimera ant arc ending

[@josiahlikestodance]

I feel like if Gon were to relearn Nen, that he might have to do so in a way that causes him to awaken as a specialist. Because he essentially made a Nen contract that he was ready to die, but then Alluka came along and paid him out the contract. I feel like that just has to have some major effects. So if he does reawaken as a specialist, I think it would be because of that. In fact, I would genuinely be surprised if he reawakened and was just his normal affinity. To me, it feels like he could only reawaken as a specialist because he’s already given his life away as an enhancer and none of the other affinities match him. I would also be interested to see if Kite is still conjurer. I don’t remember the series saying Kite has reawakened Nen in their new body. But if so, it would be interesting to see if Kite is still a conjurer.

[@alluredavon]

after all he’s gone through and different nen techniques he’s seen, I think it’ll be a missed opportunity if he isn’t a specialist. He’s now on Whale island studying/ getting smarter and he’s more than likely gonna unlock his nen again the natural way. Gon can’t be the same Gon if he’s gonna have a Gyro arc in the future.

[@Golden284-fan]

I dont think it's likely Gon becomes a specialist, but depending on what his goals are now that he found his father, I believe it's possible. Gon seems like the kind of person who can do anything if it's in service of completing his main goal. If his goal requires him to become a specialist, then he will become a specialist, no matter how rare or uncommon that is.

[@Jay-yk2pl]

I feel like if Gon ever gets his men back there would be a huge quality enhancement, similar to post mortem nen but not the same. If he were able to develop another hatsu from this or change jajanken I think it would lean toward the specialist/enhancer categories

[@laurafurtwangler8848]

Since Gon is unlikely to become an specialist, here's my fanfic of a Nen for him If he were: It would be an improvement of his jajaken, but with twist, whenever he landed one of the attacks right after his opponent used his hatsu and the opponent failed to activate his respective ability, Gon would absorb some of the opponent's aura, the higher the combo, the more aura he would absorb exponentially. If Gon was hit, he would lose the combo and his aura would go to the opponent at the same rate he picked it up

[@SilvoKnight]

Honestly the way HxH is written he'll probably just be so strong and use enhancement in different weird unthinkable ways to advance.. If this was bleach not only would he be a specialist by end of series, but he would be 100% IN EVERY CATEGORY + a new Gon only category.

[@BAR-Lifted]

My two cents: manga versions of Fourth Prince Tserre and Gon water divination test are comparably similar. Maybe gons water also change attributes just something less ominous than Tserre’

[@jarrelosu14]

I think that what your missing is Morena comment about how a specialist can be confused and and up specializing in one specific type. I think that was completely for Gon’s foreshadowing. Here is my random theory: When gone traded for all his potential now, part of that was in the future he became a specialist. When Nanika removed the damage he did to himself, she just removed the cost he had to pay for it. My money says it the future Gon is strong with little to no rival so he imposed a restriction on himself like the Kenpatchi eyepatch or Nanami overtime. This restriction makes it harder to use nen or gives him requirements to use it so he can enjoy battle….. Just a thought…. Let me know what you think…..

[@dankl3ss194]

Enhancers have advantage of 2 more affinities at 80%. While manipulators and conjurers get a chance to become specialists. The 2 affinities transmuter and emiter are just straight up worse in versatility

[@TheLastCrow5150]

Nen is still not completely understood in HxH. Ging seems to have tapped into a different direction than the map. Perhaps that's why he was a rune hunter. The ancient people may have known things we don't. What's weird is that it's directly across from Gon. For all we know, there are people that the nen chart doesn't apply to. They completely break the rules of the chart. Togashi releases more info as we go by and nobody in HxH knows about this chart where affinities mix. There can be a rare affinity that crosses the charts aceoss or even has somebody born with two affinities at 100%. I think being exposed to Ai is going to have done something to Gon. He was exposed to an incredible amount of nen. His body was definitely affected twice by incredibly strong nen. He may have made a contract, but Ai has nen that goes far beyond that. If something happens with Gon's nen, it'll be something we haven't seen. The nen from the DC definitely did something to his nen; good or bad.

[@KenwoodG]

Theoretically I believe the scale is for the weaker Nen users. I think when you start dealing with people like Netero, Ging, etc who just have either crazy talent or massive skill; the scale breaks. Similar to Kurapika in his emperor time, as he gains access to his full life potential; that boost is giving him access to his specialist abilities. Speaking of Netero, wasn’t he conjuring a giant Buddha to smack people? He’s an enhancer by the way and I think he is a prime example of what Gon will become. With enough training and dedication you can push through a category….THE CHART IS FOR THOSE WHO ARENT STRONG ENOUGH TO TRULY GRASP WHAT NEN IS!
