[@nabilzulkepli5745]

Based on the Hisoka personality test, Pariston is a Transmuter/Specialists. Transmuters are whimsical, prone to deceit, and fickle. They have unique characteristics, and many are regarded as weirdos or tricksters. They often put forth a facade while hiding the truer aspects of their personalities. Even when they don't hide their personalities, they rarely reveal their true intentions. Many Transmuters rely on techniques that give unique and unpredictable properties to their Nen that reflect their personalities. Specialists are independent and charismatic. They won't say anything important about themselves and will refrain from making close friends. However, because of their natural charisma that attracts others, they are always surrounded by many people.

[@Gojo-jg2zs]

Exactly. I think this is a highly plausible theory that is amongst the HxH fandom. Immediately after Ging sees the doll (Marione) the next person he talks to is Pariston. It could very well be that his nen ability has the capability of transferring his soul or being able to control things via a marionette doll. Either way, Togashi will cook up something good for Pariston, he is Ging's rival after all lol

I can just imagine him using it on Ging who proceeds to just chill with him even though he could just carry around a Greed Island Accompany card to peace out.

Illumi is so good a manipulator because he's not manipulating living things, his Needlemen ability kills the person he uses it on so he doesn't need to use manipulation to fight their willpower like Shalnark does. On top of that Illumi's Needleman doesn't have a fine level of control over his victims, he just makes zombies unless he devotes more attention to his control.

[@b_delta9725]

5:26 Small correction: A.P.R can be used in many targets at a time, he used it on both Kite and Gon at the same time

[@christophersierra2149]

I also like the idea that his ability doesn empower him but weakens his opponents. like a condition that the more emotion you have the greater a state of Zetsu you are forced into. This would lead to him being able to over power anyone with minimal ren/ten/gyo like with Uvo. So the only person who could beat him is someone who has no emotional connection to him at all. I really want it to be a forced zetsu state but with ever increasing/ "decreasing" output of nen. it would play perfectly into his demented way of loving and hating and also equate to his lack of desire for increasing his own power. He doesnt have to. He just forces you to not have any notable strength.

[@MousaThe14]

Pariston: “That’s my secret, Ging: I don’t have a hatsu.”

[@sudoggs]

I think comparing the abilities of Ging, Netero, and Pariston may give us the best idea of what Pariston may be doing with his abilities. Netero, despite his darker nature, is the closest to a typical hero. He puts his life on the line and goes punchy punchy. Ging has been shown to be the loner of the trio, and seems to spend more of his time exploring, and maybe just ignoring Gon. His nen is focus seems to be do adapt to any situation, hence him throwing nen through walls. He is also very detail oriented, as we can see when he built Greed Island. We also see a kind of gradient of good to evil occuring, with Ging being clearly neutral. Pariston has shown himself to be very focused upon group dynamics, he is not as selfish as Netero or a loner like Ging. Pariston gets all of his energy from the reactions from others, and this makes him a kind of inverse to Ging, who really doesn't care what people think for the most part. Those reactions are critical, and he is also very good at playing people off each other. Since he also doesn't care about winning or losing, it means he is fine living in chaos and enjoys the joy to be found in those moments of control loss. This is also pretty important, Pariston doesn't mind not being in control, otherwise what is the point of not winning or losing? This is also why he aligns himself with Beyond, since he probably has no interest in the grander scheme of things but wants someone to "play" with as he did Netero. We've also seen this whole "playing" with others before. Biscuit does it with everyone she fights, until she powers up, though there isn't malice behind her abilities. Hisoka also loves toying with opponents. A part of me hopes that Pariston has some kind of unconscious nen kind of ability that as a result has changed his appearance over time, perhaps even hiding his true persona to others. Rat may also have been assigned to Pariston because Netero knew that he was working with Beyond behind his back.

[@isaacblau_]

His nen ability is to never lose a game but also never winning.

[@MichaelWJD]

I think I saw someone suggest, or perhaps I extrapolated from another suggestion (can't recall), that his ability makes him untouchable so long as he has not directly harmed you. Like, he can plot and scheme and cause your demise through other agents, but if you try to punch him while he has not punched you it nullfies the attack. Allowing him to troll without having to worry about getting punched in the face for it.

There's a line in Jujutsu Kaisen that has always stuck with me. It's when Hanami said "It's simple, therefore, it's troublesome", something along those lines, referring to Todo's ability. So I'm a fan of the theory that Pariston's nen ability is also simple, but its simplicity is what makes it strong. The JJK mangaka is also a big fan of HxH, so I think he got that line from analyzing nen abilities.

@@anasessalih5942 yeah there's something with both of these mangas that, albeit being quite different in themes, aesthetics and characters, resonate a lot with me. And I gotta say that JJK satiates the desire that I had for complex fights with both plenty of incredible hand-to-hand combats n fight choreography, and a more JoJo- type, ability-focused n cerebral type of fighting. I even think JJK sort of upgraded the formula during the Culling Game with all the intricate abilities, twists, character moments and good unpredictability (the Tomb of the Stars fight, Hakari vs. Kashimo, Sendai Colony were absolute peak) and it's only getting better with this battle of the strongest that's very chess-like, outsmarting-your-outsmarting, and using every possible element to win the fight, with high stakes n super enjoyable spectacle

[@mattb.7079]

@@anasessalih5942 well I disagree on that: not that you said it but I always see people saying that JJK has only the fights for itself but I find it to be a very stupid statement imo as 90-95% of the story is made of fights so obviously it has only the fights for itself as it PRECISELY tells its story through the fights (character evolution, pivotal plot moments, shift in power balance, etc.) Although I prefer HxH, I think JJK is more consistently good and thrilling because what I find truly incredible in HxH is condensed in a few arcs; not to say that the rest of HxH arcs are bad or mid but that it's less captivating in comparison to its best/later arcs, while JJK keeps its level of quality and engagement rather consistently throughout the series imo. The rest I agree: contrarily to people saying that it's a mix between Bleach and Naruto, Gege truly owes the most to HxH in terms of power system, characters and display of morality (with a bit of Evangelion regarding themes and character psychology)

[@flamesword300]

Going off the fact he was the rat in the zodiacs I think Paristons ability would work like Aizen’s shikai Kyōka Suigetsu from Bleach. Once the conditions are met his victim catches a disease/sickness and he’d have control of their senses. He seems like the type of person who would have and use abilities that mess with peoples mind &/OR senses like that.

[@Vordt_]

He's a transmuter specialist via hisoka's personality test, he transmutes his aura into light and thats where the sparkles come from, but it also lets him be an infinite flashbang to constantly blind the opponent, and can likely use it to make offensive weapons of some kind. Makes him incredibly annoying to fight against because you can never trust your eyes to aim your attacks, and it fits his personality in all honesty.

It's amazing how Pariston piques people's curiosity about his potential powers, and I think it's largely because we don't have any data on it yet. We don't know how strong his nen is, we don't know what category of nen user he falls into, we just don't know anything, so the possibilities are endless.

[@emanueladadarlat3159]

It is a common misconception that Hisoka is driven by desire to win. He enjoys the thrill of the fight, its playfulness as he showcases it like performance. Winning is merely the byproduct of that detachment to winning, which paradoxically makes one more inclined to do just that. Not needing to win makes him be so unflustered all the time, just taking everything as a fun challenge, which makes him so fast on his feet with improvising and ultimately winning ....all this adding to the energetic domination of his opponents.

[@mrtoadsir2760]

The idea that Pariston has a game of wit where violence isn’t necessary is similar to the one in Yu yu hakusho with Kaito and his territory so Togashi might’ve took inspiration from his other series and added it to Hunter x Hunter

[@zyonic69420]

I had a thought recently. Who would win in a fight against Netero and the entire Phantom Troupe? Use any version of the Phantom Troupe you like. I think the Phantom Troupe could win with a plan. Since Netero had prep time (meditated to gain more aura), the Phantom Troupe could have some as well. In the end, their plan is probably gonna be a bunch of attacks from different members at once from different angles in a single second to ensure Netero can't deal with it. Like Bono's Jupiter from above, Franklin shooting from far away, Nobunaga Uvogin Hisoka Feitan Machi from different sides while Chrollo teleports a Phinks with 100 wind-ups behind Netero. Could be interesting.

[@alexjames7144]

I think theoretically they could if they know what his nen ability is. But it wouldn't be guaranteed victory it'd be a chance. Without knowing exactly how it works they're fucked. And some of them are useless regardless because he's too fast for most of them to make a difference.

[@AspieMemoires]

I'm pretty sure Netero claps them all the moment he claps his hands together and activates his ability. 😅 He's stated to literally be the fastest in the world when it comes to that. The fight of Meruem vs Netero, yes its played out anime to seem drawn out etc. Since we are watching it over episodes. But that fight occurs over a span of 5 minutes. Within the first 10 seconds was a whole episode. That's how fast they were fighting. His nen ability activates within 0.01 seconds. Stated they threw thousands to countless numbers of blows on meruem in just a few minutes. Thats breaking the speed of sound. Fairly sure none of the Phantom troupe even comes close to that speed.

[@666Kaca]

The troupe would win but only feitan would survive. He gets beaten up>gets mad>rising sun>netero and every troupe member except feitan die.

@@666Kaca Feitan wouldn’t even survive the first blow from Netero’s nen ability. And none of the troop are faster than him by a long shot. He performs his clap and ability activation in 0.01 seconds. That is breaking the speed of sound. His fight with Meruem was 5 minutes long. In the first minute alone he had already done thousands of blows against Meruem one of the strongest nen users we had ever seen. Add that Netero is actually really good at sizing up opponents and figuring out strengths and weaknesses. He’d know who to first hit and kill as he also already knows about the Phantom Troupe. I love the Troupe, but they get their asses handed to them in this fight.

[@michaelcollins3384]

I think Ging hints at his power in the election arc, saying "what makes him so powerful, is he doesn't want to win the election, or lose; it makes him dangerous, and impossible to read." Another hint in that arc, is when Cheadle constantly chides herself for becoming emotional, somehow giving him power in her estimation. Another hint comes later in the Succession arc, where Paristan is worried/angered in his interactions with Ging, and he becomes emotionally hateful towards Ging's tactical prowess, saying it somehow thwarts his plans; a prowess he even outwardly laments, as it seems to undermine his own ability. Thusly, I think as long he's able to remain dispassionate about his objectives, and his objectives are to sow chaos and disrupt their opponent's plans/get under their skin purely for the fun of it, rather than to have plans that advance any kind of personal agenda, he will see the perfect pathway to achieving his objective of messing up an opponent's plans... which, in a backwards sort of way, allow him to win any contest he enters, not by his own virtue, but by sabotaging his opponents purely for the hell of it. And, if correct, as the perfect troll, I sincerely hope he calls his power FU QQ KYS & SMD, because that would be an excellent troll in and of itself.

You guys have really opened my mind up about the potential of Pariston s nen ability. I think the key is in the fact that Netero found him engaging to the point of not being bored.

I like the idea that isn’t that powerful but has an ability with devastating precision and effectiveness in the right circumstance. An ability that Netero used to keep himself sharp.

Like he sees possible futures and it narrows down the more information he has. 2. What if he doesn't have a hatsu, and he's very skilled in the basics. 3. (More of a thought) thinking about his affinity, what if he, ging, and netero have the same affinity, or are at least the affinities right next to each other. Either way, like netero the both would probably have hatsu that aren't their natural affinity cause they'd enjoy the challenge of becoming skilled in such a thing.

You can make a new video about HxH every week and I'd still always learn more lol. Pariston's nen ability... I know based off of a previous quote from Morrell (that seems to be taking about Pariston) it has something to do with speed; whether that be physical or conditions. Okay. Here's my guess: a copy of Pariston (physical or even hearing his voice in your head) attaches itself to your nen and siphons your nen. The more annoyed you become, the faster it takes your nen; until you lose everything and pass out or die. There'd be some crazy conditions for an ability like this; but, Pariston would only find that more exciting. That... Or your own nen ability gets a ton of conditions attached to it and therefore makes it almost impossible to use. Ging's ability is what I want to know. It's probably simple but extremely powerful. I mean, he can copy other's abilities just by being hit with them and it still isn't his ability. I wonder if Togashi has even planned Ging's ability yet lol. I wouldn't doubt Liam's prediction that it's in a class of it's own.

I've seen videos saying how bingeable your videos are, and its true because...ive watched all your HxH content..

[@felixramirez9920]

I guess- Double man: forcing ones memories and motives onto another as to have the target operate behind the scenes. Could explain the vanishing of nen users with little to no evidence connecting him. Targets would simply act as pariston with a focused goal. Mystery Match: a game of clue but with different objectives, ultimately setting up a figurative board with targets connected to that goal. Forcing them into a game of observation and deduction as they attempt to reach the goal. Targets wouldnt know they are even playing the game, as their own motivation is what drives them to act. Overall, i think it would have to do with motivation of others and himself in some way as he tends to nip the motivations of others.

[@PuReWiReZ]

Paristons Nen ability is called Silent Partner, he can initiate someone else in a Nen Contract without their knowledge but he must concede whatever conflict he has with them currently or he can only initiate it on somone he has lost to. That is why he loves losing, because he is planting bombs or chains in people.

[@PuReWiReZ]

Ranting expansion: its also why low level hunters eagerly sign up with Pariston, he gives them advantageous Nen Contracts until they are hooked. I bet he is syphoning Nen from thousands of people if not also creatures.

[@Arma-S]

I think his ability is something, like, FULL-ON HEAVILY based on deception. Like, a combination of illusions, space manipulation, maybe time even, and VERY chaotic in nature (to the point where even he himself cant fully predict how exactly it will work this time). I think he's that type of guy who will be like "well, lets see what set of rules/skills will be this time". And his attitude and constant attempts to annoy people or put them in a difficult scenarios - is like a training for him - to see how people will react to such chaotic situations. Thats why he'll have a lot of experience even without fighting much. So it wont be a "fight me" ability, but more like "from now on you will be just simply losing very slowly"

[@stealthy25_]

Would be interesting if it’s something like he is as powerful as his enemy thinks he is. He could then mislead people to thinking he’s strong with his manipulations. Alternatively, it would be hilarious if he had a power like estarossa from seven deadly sins (those that hate him cannot attack him), or something like it cos that’s too op

[@alexjames7144]

It has to be something like Estarosa in my mind. Personal headcannon is that he's invulnerable to any direct attempt to deliberately harm him with the condition being if he makes any direct attempt to harm someone else he is no longer protected or maybe even just dies immediately. It'd give a reason for his insane scheming.

[@alexjames7144]

I like the idea that he's invulnerable specifically when you're trying to hurt him. So you would only be able to kill him by accident. You can't get rid of him, you can't win. He's just there forever being annoying and there's nothing you can do about it. You can't beat him, he can't beat you because he's actually weak. You've just got to put up with him. Either that or every time you kill him he's immediately replaced by an identical clone of himself making him immortal. Kind of like how you can never kill all the rats, there's always another to take it's place. Edit: based on someone else's comment I like the idea that there's nothing physically stopping people from hurting him, just the closer they get to doing it suddenly the less motivation they have. By the time they get to the point of actually hitting him they've lost all motivation to do so. So the only way to overcome it would be in an indirect way

Or something where he can get exceptionally bad luck if conditions aren’t met? Like Qrow Branwen’s semblance in RWBY, or on the opposite end Hakari’s lottery/pachinko technique in JJK.

[@ElymasMagus1]

Pariston is the true definition of ENJOY THE PROCESS not the end game

[@varencilator]

I think it'd be some kind of self-preservation ability (and maybe preserves the opponent he plays with?) that can also activate tremendously offensively when someone manages to corner the rat (whether through the ability or some loophole), but he otherwise can do damn near absolutely nothing nen-wise. Thus, Pariston would be forced to rely on his own cunning and manipulation to do anything offensively, something he's extremely capable in. And it could be a type of ability that gets stronger the longer it is in play.

[@declan0123456789]

He has the ability to borrow nen from people. The restrictions are he must knows them and if they are subordinates to him. This would make his ant army all the more terrifying.

[@gadlicht4627]

An idea I like would be reset ability based on annoyance. The more annoyed you are, the more he can reset anything he doesn’t like to annoy you more leading him able to annoy you more as you get frustrated by him. This would let him play forever as long as annoyance high enough

[@MrxD-cg5xs]

Imagine his abilities actually being something like Cheetus, but the game the opponent needs to win to be released is something like "sit still for 8 hours without moving, fail to do so and the timer resets" - this would be extremely effective at removing a key part of the enemy forces from a battle and it would also be hella annoying towards literally everyone, the reader included.

[@evilovesperry]

Call it detention. After 24 hours, it becomes suspension which is the same task but while made to rewitness your most regrettable actions

[@ThriceGr8]

Gotta drop you a comment on your most recent vid so I hope you see. I've just started binging all your content because damn, you/any editors you may have put so much effort into making a tight edit with good humour to the point where I can't tell if you've written this all out or you're just talking out of passion. I don't care for chapter review videos but I can watch yours because you are entertaining. Give it a little while and NZ will be claiming you as our best KZbinr

[@rodrigomeneses3855]

Thank you for making a video! I love to think and learn about HxH

[@lycanlore7689]

It ll be intresting if his nen ability is that he can make clone of his opponent with the conditions being 1.he has to spend a certain amount of time with them(like he doing now with ging)2.to know the target s nen ability It will be insane if he has stack of clones of different ppl like netero.there was a panel in manga where broken toys were shown maybe he has to make toy of his opponent like witchcraft.

[@boogergoblin]

"…I suppose we could kill Kite again." Has me dying 😂

[@nobodywashere4743]

One thing is for sure, most characters arent afraid of Pariston but none of them will engage him in combat.

[@sathyanarayan9140]

Don't let this make you forget bungee gum has the power of rubber and gum

[@DurvalLacerda]

Pariston's Nen is like Aizen's Bankai 😂

[@stealthgamer4620]

I was going to comment Pariston is actually Aizen, just had to see if someone would say it.

[@Ytremz]

I feel like Togashi would go for something quite simple for Pariston’s Nen ability, but when used by someone of considerable intelligence, that ability can be insanely effective. For example, Pariston could have the ability to form Nen Contracts with other people, and that contract takes effect as long as both parties agree to the terms, and both parties are physically able to fulfil the terms of the contract. Imagine how dangerous Pariston would be with such a simple ability.

[@S4BRETOOTH]

Annoying =/= Evil According to my brother's theory, Pariston and Netero were good friends. Netero had faith in Pariston's ability to comprehend his desire to embark on a life-threatening mission against the ants.

[@conormurphy4328]

Pariston: “for my neutral special Hatsu I wield a gun”

[@johnbutler2750]

Feel like a coin toss where he looks at the coin and can lie about the answer would match his style

[@tornadix99]

-(its ben a bit since i've thought about pariston so i might be wrong about his personality and thus these suggestions could be wrong.)- Maybe pariston doesn't have a nen ability and thats his restriction, just enjoying himself, annoying people pretending that he does have one and them trying to figure out his abilities, and getting into his position solely due to smarts and manipulation. But pheraps maybe having a vow that anyone that manages to stir an emotion on him could make a powerful nen ability for the situation. Or maybe if he wants to play a game and make it as long as he can without wining or loosing having an ability that prevents cheating or something (and nen could be cheating), and erase said means of cheating (maybe erasing nen abilities until the game is finished, idk.)

[@EldenBully]

What if the guy literally manifests the ability his opponent imagines him to have

[@christophersierra2149]

brilliant

[@abhi.m6165]

bro doesn't need a cap 🧢

[@aaronrowell6943]

I love that even the other zodiacs have no clue what he can do. Considering he's a three-star Hunter it could be something insane or it could be something simple considering out open-ended being a hunter really is. He has to be some kind of strong at least physically to pass the exam, but as we have seen the most powerful men abilities are all mental and not physical. I like the idea of him basically using people's emotions against them so someone who he cannot predict or someone's who's in control of their emotions will defy him. Also like the idea of him having red herrings or traps to throw people off.

[@CyWySu123456]

That trappy ability that makes his W more assured as you figure him out.. That's the one. That guy's a genius

[@SejiofAkatsuki]

Will you make more jjk content with the new season? I'd love some jjk episode reviews

[@skizzler1232]

You forget some of neteros last words for the ant king which was "You know nothing of the bottomless malice in the human heart" Which could've been foreshadowing for peraston who knows 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TheBomberman122]

I could be wrong but I'm 90% sure that comment was made to make it clear what the ant arc was about. Humanity were the true monsters in the end, even more of a monster then this ant king that literally eats the brains of opponents.

[@richardnagel8701]

something simular to mizaistom's cross game in the sense it can stop someone from moving but more mentally. where the harder they think to beat him the harder it gets!

[@alexjames7144]

Ooh I like this, they just can't hurt him because no matter how much they want to, the closer they get to actually doing it they lose the motivation to do so

[@MAD2CANS]

'We could always kill kite again' Shots fired

[@josiahlikestodance]

He can conjure powerful nen constructs that have their own nen, abilities and sense of being. The condition is that he has to have killed them indirectly. Maybe other conditions like “must have spoken to victim” or “the construct’s nen is relative to how well liked or well known Pariston is by the victim”. Like with Sarasa. I think he’s either a conjurer or a specialist.

[@stefanwatson7061]

I think at least one condition Pariston has, is that the more hate someone feels toward him, the easier they are to manipulate, which is why i think he tries to do things to make people hate him but at the same time they are unable to do anything about what he plans to do. I also believe that he has a power similar to Camila's wherein his nen can affect and manipulate persons once the condition above has been met. I also believe he has some role to play in the silent majority ability that is messing with kurapika rn. Personally i think pariston is either a specialist or a conjurer.

[@alessandromariani3015]

I think that pariston has the ability to read opponents aura and probably dispel or deactivate their aura or nen. I would love to see him using the aura of his enemies to power up some puppets he controlls, making enemies fight their own aura. That would be a good counter to enchancers, like Gon and Ging .. if he manages to set the conditions. His fake expression shows that he always hide his true thoughts, so maybe his ability is based on illusions and tricks to make the opponent fall into a trap. He probably fight using feints .. but i actually think that he is more an assassin that prefer to rapidly kill the one that he want to kill, becouse he likes more playing with peoples than killing them, so his offensive abilities are probably built around making the opponent restrained or unable to escape a condition. He is probably more on the defense in normal fights, giving metally exausting quiz to the aggressors or metally exausting choices that trick the enemy into avoiding the combat. He probably makes the opponent loose time and energies.

[@Wuddigot]

I like the idea that he is manipulative, but because his nen hatsu supports or benefits from him being like that rather than it being manipulation. For example, "Tally : Pariston adds +1 to a running score/tally whenever someone complies or obeys him. There can be nuance to this, like perhaps a person only counts as +1 if they havent counted in recent days, or the value is determined by the power of the person, etc. Also, he gets -10 when someone defies him and the penalty grows the higher his tally is. Then this score translates to an aura store" So at first this was used basically, but then Pariston became who we know today and his life has become a game to accumulate a high score. Whats more, for years he has been planning and storing an aura reserve for something that only he knows.

[@jharmley6882]

I would like to see more post mortem nen content. Like what could be an evolve form of Kurapika's nen abilities when he is able to use post mortem nen.

[@laquanlucas6953]

Facts bro I liked how Togashi before the chapter went on break he was adding more depth to post mortem nen

[@acekungaming3385]

first off great vid. secondly, this is the first time i've seen a dyslite sponser, the only ads i saw for it was this random clip of a chick stabbing another chick with a "surprised pikachu meme" underneath the footage. Whoever does their advertising kinda sucks at it. I blocked the ads cause they were so cringe but you actually did it a really good service.

[@Ironfist626]

ohhhh man, we missed you so much! thank you for the new stuff!

[@chadstevemichaelmichaels4605]

I always had this head canon that Pariston's nen ability was bringing my dad home

[@beyondthegravebrandon]

I missed ur videos so much.... I was craving for new hxh content

[@darktobi2869]

I love your HXH vids so much and thanks for doing it on my fav character Pariston❤

[@colbystearns8439]

I do really like the idea of pariston either have a super simple transmutation hatsu like Hisoka or having some chess match game hatsu if he were a specialist

[@jamoR72]

I would have guessed he a specialist , and his ability would allow him to see all future possibilities and Pariston can choose the possibility in which he annoys everyone around him to the max.

[@Pokeredi.]

So basically, Yhwach's almighty but seasoned with pariston's signature sassiness and trollface energy I like it

[@frankelguy]

@8:08 wait im confused. What properties does Bungee Gum have??

[@mineapple1165]

Interesting... Even though... Pariston doesn't know that Bungee Gum possesses both properties of Rubber and Gum!!

[@bluemassgamer17]

Paristion has the Troll nen ability. To troll people into thinking that he has ability when he actually doesn't.

[@koscheib5199]

Clearly, it's that whenever he goes to sit, whether ther is or is not an appropriate surface, a fancy chair appears :)

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Pariston's nen ability is to unleash a mini Nux Taku to mess with people's minds and have them play games until he's satisfied xD

[@rastez6961]

Feel like his nen ability will be something about rewriting reality. A power that allow him to always have it his way/follow the narrative he sets up. Of course, since it would be a broken ability, he could only activate it under very specific conditions.

[@HenryAvery-b1j]

Not related to Pariston, but rereading GI arc and I had a thought. What if the monsters on Greed Island aren't conjured? What if the entirety of Greed Island was actually a small breakaway from the Dark Continent that Ging and his friends found. Ging could feasibly want to conserve the island for people to experience (and possibly train for the DC) and set up the Greed Island game as a way to create a "virtual game reserve." Hunters can hunt the monsters without actually killing them, and they monsters get to maintain their natural environment. In some ways in could be the "perfect" kind of zoo, servicing both the needs of animals and the wants of humans. As for the Nen controlling the island and effectively making the monsters immortal, there are a very high number of restrictions (optimized max 800 players at one time with multitaps and the multitude of rules dictating gameplay) spread across multiple game masters (high level nen users, possibly trained by Ging) but not having to conjure the monsters themselves would reduce the overall cost by a significant amount. That's about it, thoughts?

[@KazuyaRazuKazama]

Honestly, it would seem that his Nen Ability is keeping the Hunter x Hunter flame burning hot while talking up a grand mystery about himself, which only serves to make him go from "heh, this guy, man~" to "...oh my God, this guy is terrifying, man.", all while posing as a suave KZbinr creator who convinces people to hit the Subscribe button. Seems appropriate ;D Seriously, tho, you do a phenomenal job with HxH vids and Pariston, in particular (just realized his name is Paris-Ton.... now, it all makes sense. He's Rich and French).

[@EunoiaRPG]

Maybe it's like a game of chicken. He who loses his temper/throws the first punch loses

[@alexanderthunder7623]

I would like to think that Pariston's ability is to absorb the emotions and desires of others into strong nen which he uses for his hatsu; Game or Claim. Where you partake in mini games to either get your nen aura back or lose more of it.
