I don't get why people think he will be a manipulator tho. The only way you could try to guess what his nen affinity is, is by using Hisoka's personality test. (Without that it's just wild guesses). Manipulator isn't necessarily manipulative. Morel isn't manipulative. Sharnak can manipulate people but his personality is not manipulative. Manipulators are logical and like to take things at their own paces. It could apply to Pariston, but I feel like the most dominant parts of his personality are 1) to be able to lie, or to tell half-truth in order to manipulate people 2) To hide is true attentions and feelings 3) To predict others. He also seems to like challenges and to mess with people. Because of his dishonest personality, the way he want "to play" with people he finds interesting, this kind of thing, the most obvious answer is Transmutation. Specialist could be a good guess too, they are described as charismatic and individualistic. People focused on their goals but who naturally draw other people to them, usually they are in a leader-type position. Pariston seems really focused into his own ambition but is always in a position of power so it could be that too. Enhancer and Emitter are the most unlikely. He is far from simple and direct like Enhancers, and is clearly not impatient and hot headed. Conjurer is unlikely too, because even if he share some of their traits, he is maybe too eccentric to be a conjurer. TL;DR according to Hisoka's test he is either a Transmutter or a Specialist.

Manipulators are argumentative. While gon just apologizes to Wing for using zetsu during his first fight in the 200 floor, Zushi makes a detailed apology to wing about how he felt he had to disobey his instructions and use Ren against Killua. You can find element of this in Shalnark, Melody and more. Edit: the anime has a bad take on that hisoka test. Every good hunter is logical. But argumentative personalities like to get what they want using words. They don't exhibit just feelings, they tack on it with some logic and words detailing how they aren't wrong and are confident to be right in their analysis of situations. Illumi is another example, arguing so much that he is okay with Killua wishing to kill him if it means that aluka won't kill the family.

[@crunchyingrowntoenail3927]

I don't think that makes sense tbh Light is not physical and will literally do nothing to enemies unless he can turn himself to light and just wipe literally every character in the series

[@Erigalus]

​@@crunchyingrowntoenail3927 He could blind his enemies with the light, maybe even make some sort of illusions by letting the light in the air break weirdly (like an advanced fata morgana). Plus, radiation for instance works on wave particles, just as light does, so he could potentially give his enemies radiation poisoning of sorts, if he shifts his paradigm. That last one might be a good contrast towards Netero, who had to resort to science for that effect. Every point of that might be a stretch, especially the last one. But also, who said that every hatsu needs to be combat oriented? Pariston might have just chosen it because he thought it suits his personality. It might also have some other non-combat-oriented uses. Sending messages at the speed of... well... Light, might be one, although I don't see Pariston of all people having a need to urgently send messages (and subsequently relying on) other people. He doesn't seem to be a team player, but it was just an example.

I think I wrote it in an original comment somewhere, manipulators are people who are argumentative and use facts and logic in an argument. He certainly fits that area, but what most people miss out on is that manipulators are also control freaks. I read in details in a very good source material, manipulators like to be in control of things. We saw that with Illumi and how he wanted to control Killua, as well as control allukas power. Also, manipulators like to keep their loved ones safe, which is not something we've seen of pariston (maybe in future?). So he somewhat fits a manipulator but not totally.

@@J-GUT like you said "he just likes playing with them". Classic transmuter. I'm still sticking to transmuter.

It's a fun bet, but I'd say he's a transmuter

[@carlossalazar3325]

I think pariston is an enhacer and has a nen enhanced brain ability. something like he improve his thinking and foresight abilities and he has the limitation of his body entering a similar state as setsu whenever he thinks (which is perfect for him because that way nobody can tell he is using his ability in the most crucial times and also he doesn’t really fight himself most of the time) this would also explain why he hates gin. (Gin is as intelligent as him without the need of using this kind of abilities)

[@TwoToneShoes]

New sub here. I'd probably switch your conclusions for Ging and Pariston. The thing that gets me the most is that the defining trait that Hisoka talked about with Specialists that I think manifests itself strongly in the series is that they naturally draw people to them to follow them. Ging clearly has a kind of charisma that he was putting off because he didn't want to encourage the Hunter crowd. But, besides maybe Mereum and the Royal Guard, Chrollo and the Troupe, and Netero with the Zodiacs (the exception, but Netero had decades to build relationships), no one has seemingly acquired more people devoted to carrying out his dream and will by meeting him. The entire Greed island crew (not just Razor!), Kite, heck everyone who talks about him before we meet him in the Chairman arc speaks about the man as this force of nature. Whereas Pariston does have some followers (as seen in his vote getting in the Chariman arc), that seems to be entirely from manipulation and leveraging his power as the Vice Chairman, rather than his personality and goals endearing others to him. Finally, and what really settles it for me, is we get to see Pariston and Ging face off when it comes to winning over a bunch of people previously already loyal to Pariston. Ging just naturally walks in and tries to inspire and encourage people positively. This kind of behavior we see from Mereum to his guards or Chrollo to the troupe, but why doesn't Pariston display this natural leader quality that other specialists we've seen do? Heck, even Kurapika during the Succession Arc, as a part time specialist, has basically done the same. Pariston would be the main specialist exception due to his lack of a devoted group of friends or followers.

Pariston is a weird case . I assumed something along the lines of Specialist and Transmuter . Mostly because of Hisokas Personality test and how HxH established Nen types in Characters . On the other hand we still have people like Netero that are born natural Enhancers but became a person with a different emotional state in his late life not really resembling his innate Category , hell his strongest ability had near to nothing to do with enhancement . Wing also stated that there are people that changed their Nen type over time to a new category . Togashi made it clear that Talent plays a big role in how much you can gain from your nen categories . strengthening them with strong personal feelings and restrictions make things like the 100 hands . All that said Pariston aswell as Ging seem to me on a lvl of talent similar to gons and killuas if not above . So we could guess all day and still be at the end of the day wrong because their hatsus dont even include there innate nen ability . I for my part kind of want to see a weird Transumtation/speciality ability from pariston simply because he fits those 2 roles so well .

He snaps pretty easily, a classic Emitter personality.

[@privatelast8724]

The point about manipulator being redundant is very accurate, but beyond that, if his manipulation was of something aside from humans (animals or weapons) it still wouldn't fit because that requires a deep level of care of those items or things; Pariston only cares about enjoying himself. Additionally, Hisoka stated that enhancers mesh very well with transmuters, which would hold true to his relation to Netero.

[@itzSprrw]

I think he’d use both emission and manipulation, with enhancement as a back up. It would be subtle like a pheromone he emits that when inhaled by an individual keeps people either neutral to him or a slightly positive view of him, just makes him fair more agreeable. However once someone sees who he is behind his “mask” his ability loses potency. Which is why Ging is unaffected by it. He’d simply use his enhancement nen to assist his hand to hand combat. He would have mastered each of these Nen abilities as well as the other various aspects of Nen.

[@insertname5371]

He uses his abilty poorly then. Also far to similar to sale sale.

[@itzSprrw]

insert name I would say he uses it strategically. It’s not about making everyone neutral, that would be boring so he creates his enemies from people who would keep him entertained. And Nen abilities though unique to each user, can be similar to others.

[@HonorableCnut]

[@Cipher132]

Strange Theory here, what if Parriston is Hisoka. We see Morel talking to the broadcaster about revealing someones identity. At that moment Hisoka kills him, conveniently Parriston had just left the Hunter organization for the day right before that moment. I think Parriston (Hisoka) had inside information on what they were planning. I also noticed something similar in their personality, they both have a calm yet menacing presence. They both want to meet and be beside strong people and rise to the top. They also both have a strange fasination in Ging/Gon. By this I mean Parriston and Ging have always had a rivalry amongst each other so it would make sense that Parriston would want to keep and eye out on his son as we know Ging is immensly powerful and Hisoka thrives on killing powerful people. The best way to fight both would be to kill either one to enrage and get their full strength to fight. The last point I want to make is I noticed recently that Parriston’s eyes are the same as Bisky where their pupils are huge and the lower part of their eye is sagging like it lacks strength. I think Hisoka may be hiding his pressence by looking like Parriston similar to Bisky and Illumi. I know its crazy and probably isn’t true but there are too many similarities.✌🏻

[@brandonchandlerMGnO]

I feel like he wouldn't have been looking for Ging at the voting place then, but if he was Pariston I guess he would know that Ging wasn't there and in that case he probably went there just to check out the Hunter's who are voting. This can actually make sense. But what the comment above said is hard to refute. But if he was, that would explain how he intends to meet the phantom troupe on the ship but yet is not currently on it, if you assume he's not. But also that's a lot if time to spend as someone, especially during the Chimera Ant arc when he could have been tracking down Chrollo.

[@oomar4597]

his secret nen ability s to be pinned by the new world review

[@Bsophie102]

You get my sub anyway because based off that first minute I already know I would absolutely love your content!

[@edbambach164]

Guessing emitter, seems like a curveball togashi might throw

[@d0minican0milan0]

Transmutation with a mix of Manipulation is what I always thought Pariston would use in his hatsu...but it wouldn't surprise me at all if both him and Ging used abilities similar to Netero that just completely ignore their own affinities.

[@FireFox64000000]

He's either a manipulator or a specialist.

[@F00Lsmack]

Wasn't there a theory about sociopathy being an indicator of specialization? I think this fits pariston better than the Clown even though they're so similar because he has no intense desires, just fleet proclivities towards whomever can keep him entertained.

[@joyroad1630]

He is probably a specialist but I’m guessing you’ll say Transmuter.

[@maxbarker8625]

A guess for this ability would be: he can take other peoples hate and turn it into his own nens potency

[@brandonchandlerMGnO]

Well it certainly would be useful for him.

[@emeldy2687]

Kinda feel like Pariston's nen ability will require him to manipulate like five people a day or something like that... Pariston: I don't want anything to eat babe. Girlfriend: gets him something anyways. Pariston: (whispers to self) manipulation successful.

[@jingostarrsumatra4659]

He's a specialist. A very charismatic person like Chrollo and Tserried.

[@crocro9931]

Always struck me as a specialist

[@Zelig_Shaine]

fun fact, Pariston's [Japanese] voice-actor on the 2011 anime also voiced Hisoka in the 1999 adaptation

[@AE149823]

Prediction, Options are: Transmuter Specialist Manipulator Probably in that order.

[@MLGGCrisps]

Hey, since im kid of early, you probably will see this. I really like your content, keep it up. And tbh, don’t be afraid to expand to other anime. I personally would love it!

[@lollel3974]

0:30 transmuter is my guess or maybe a specialist

[@nazostaro6171]

I'm guessing his natural nen affinity is Transmutation since he fits the profile according to Professor Hisoka. However I can totally see him using a mix of Manipulation, Specialization and Transmutation abilities.

[@stormy_person7530]

I think he'll be a Transmuter, both through Hisoka's test and through comparing him to other characters. Enhancer is an obvious no-go, he's certainly not the headstrong and aggressive type like Gon or Uvogin. Similarly, he doesn't have the stoicism of a Conjurer like Kurapika nor the impatience and short-temperedness of an Emitter like Leorio. This knocks out three types, and gives us our three most likely choices. The obvious choice - and thus the wrong choice, in my opinion - is Manipulator, as he's a skilled chessmaster, but that's not something he does with Nen like Shalnark, it's just a skill of his that he's honed to the highest degree. Finally, between Specialist and Transmuter, Pariston is more consistent with other Transmuters - most notably, he's incredibly similar to Hisoka himself, the iconic Transmuter of the central cast of characters. He's a whimsical weirdo who rarely, if ever, reveals what he's thinking. As for his Hatsu, I couldn't really say. It _could_ be something to do with light, as he's constantly sparkling in his anime scenes, but I'm not so sure that's all there is to it. Personally, I think it's a skill that isn't directly useful in a fight, but one which serves as a perfect tool for his schemes. Although if he _is_ a Manipulator, I think it'd be something that induces loyalty to him into a large group of people; he does have to have _some_ way of controlling his Chimera Ant army, after all.

[@darkwolfz4]

I'll say a manipulator for Pariston Looks like I was wrong

[@AndrewManook]

You aren't wrong, nenworldreview is.

[@ab-du8cb]

I recently came up with an idea for his ability(pure speculation) and that is that he has the ability to swap the properties of any object or person. Which fits his personality and why hes so confident nearby strong nen users.

[@MK-vi2cm]

Interesting theory

[@GandalfMonkeyAnimations]

Has to be transmuter, he defines whimsical liar

[@TheDoomsdayzoner]

Honestly, whenever you go "vmm" or "hmm", I can't help but hear the Sullyvan "hrrm" meme.

[@VeryAbsurd]

I think Pariston is such a manipulator he would have a different Nen affinity like enhancer or emission

[@snakecharmr123]

correct me if im wrong but isnt everyone on beyonds voyage team a specialist? i believe it was stated by ging that beyond had been planning that trip for years and all of them were specialist and needed for certain roles on that trip... so that would mean that pariston is also a specialist or at least his nen plays similar to a specialist because it will be needed in the dark continent.

[@TheInquisitiveMug]

Early guess: Conjuration. I hope he wanted us to guess in the comments because he didn't really specify. End of video guess: Maaaaan, I still say conjuration, but obviously specialist isn't ruled out. He seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't shy away from using his no doubt incredible abilities (they've got to be, he's a Zodiac after all) but obviously wants to keep them hidden. What better way to hide your power than with remote Nen beats/constructs? Besides, being nervous and highly strung would certainly lead to a paranoia that would REQUIRE you to make sure you're the one gaming everyone around you. Constant paranoia would make you less trusting and disillusioned with others, prohibiting a love/hate opinion of people maybe; everyone is just any ememy. That said, FANTASTIC VIDEO! Thank you!

[@arjunnanduri]

All the transmuters got the eye thing going for them. Hisoka in crazy mode and Killua in killing mode. In the manga panel, Pariston has similar dark eyes, so this may mean he is most likely a transmuter.

[@brandonchandlerMGnO]

Doesn't Gon have really dark eyes though?

[@ianvincibl3]

🎵 "Theeee wheels on the Pariston go Rrm Rrm Rrm!" 🎶

[@nilanniruthan]

The gleam and shine that's sometimes drawn around him could actually be a part of his power. Best character in HxH.

[@DanTheYoutubeAddict]

0:28 My guess is a manipulator because he is so good at manipulating others without even having to use his nen so it makes sense that he would want to further enhance that ability. Edit: Not saying what the final result is, but I was wrong.

[@jgamer2057]

I think transmuter, however if I am incorrect I will subscribe to the geandline review for regular hunter x hunter content uploaded directly into my youtube feed

[@animeequals7875]

The show is called Hunter x hunter hunter 1 is light Hunter 2 is dark pariston dark attribute manipulation counterpart is emisson what main character introduce after a long time in chairman election arc leorio which we find out after punching the heck out of ging which is a emission

[@DrifterMW]

Pariston was probably a baby found by Nero in the Dark Continent

[@wordsmyth659]

i think manipulator is too obv either emitter or transmuter or specialist

[@R0-83-RT]

My prediction is either Transmuter or Manipulator, though I favor transmutation since they are said to have a certain level of whimsical charm. this would make sense for Pariston considering the following he has. It also makes sense with his relationship with Netero being Enhancers and Transmuters are said to have a bit of a magnetic personality to each other. Pariston also loves lies and manipulating the room which is why I favored transmutation or manipulation. Though I honestly feel Transmuters within Hunter x Hunter are ironically more often manipulative than the Manipulator characters.

[@execraebrown3990]

Ging said to all the members of Beyond expedition team, "don't try to play me, you're all specialist aren't you?". So I might say as well Pariston is a specialist and I would love him to be on the on the specialist type cause for sure he has this amazing nen ability.

[@pengrim3576]

Something I often think is what Nen affinity would characters in other series would have and I think that would be an interesting ideal for a future video.

[@cartervoltfire4933]

I think hes a Manipulator. Or a Specialist with Manipulator Affinity. He might use an ability that makes people subconsiously like him. An energy he lets off 24/7 but is extremely subtle and can confuse other sensory auras. Ging, being one of those people who can constantly protect himself, can also (probably) 'taste the darkness' in the aura pariston is letting off.

[@Nick-xn5nk]

I believe that he is a specialist that's is a mix between Manipulator and transmuter.

[@SaetiStrakur]

Transmitator who can change his aura into emotions much like powerful ren but more specific maybe. Like emitting serotonin

[@animeworld5847]

Transmuter, my second guess would be manipulator and my third would be specialist since he fits the charisma bill and anything sorta goes there if all else fails

[@Leohief]

You said that meruem was a specialist at the end there, and I know that this was before the exhibition, but I am pretty sure that meruem is an emitter.

[@karimmime1050]

probably specialisation and if he want to see other people nen ability its perhaps because his specialisation need some information to start and can perhaps steal, stop,copy or make abilitie dissapear

[@legythechedar]

Maybe he is some new category even? Also for every Pariston may be aware of these techniques to recognize nen so he can maybe hide it by occupying both hands etc? idk man

[@dragonyoshi1]

What if he was a conjurer and his suits is what are conjured from his nen and it makes people more susceptible to his petty pissing contests also I noticed during the final four of the election arc that his chair was much nicer then the other candidates It's like he takes every little win he can hahaha.

[@Gorbology]

He’s a natural transmuter that transmutes his nen into those sparkles around him, and eventually turns into a specialist

[@Sicarius_Avindar]

Togashi isn't being subtle with Pariston being a Transmuter. Even just the fashion and outfit changes are proof enough xD

[@slevinchannel7589]

Youre right, but i wonder: What type are YOU, Sicarius?

According to Hisoka, Conjurer. Fit the bill perfectly.
