This is the first time I’ve heard it in English… it sounds like muscle man vs ash to me

[@jasonreed7522]

Fair but honestly whichever way you start a show (subbed/dubbed) will always make the other sound weird. Personally i prefer dubs just because if the actors are good you get one last filtering so the translation doesn't feel like something out of google translate. I good example is in Jujutsu Kaisen where a line in sub is "I love my self when I'm all dressed up and pretty amd i love myself when I'm strong!" But in the dub its "... I love myself when I'M KICKING ASS!" I'll let you decide which resonated way better with the visuals of the speaker dominating as she yelled that. I also understand that a lot of dubs are too low budget to afford decent acting and will happily watch subs when needed. (But i personally don't hear the same depth of emotion in foreign languages i know a whole 2 words in as my native language) PS: this is not intended to start a war over sub/dub, both have a place but i like the extra filter of translation and being able to look away without missing dialogue.

[@jvqs55]

@@jasonreed7522 I don't dislike HxH dub but it misses the spot sometimes imo. But it's probably original VA's being so fantastic that kinda overshadows the dub a little bit. Either way, as someone trying to learn english and japanese i am very grateful for all these people's work.

Enhancers are actually the most balanced of the six types of nen users.

[@tre2843]

@AlHasan Sameh that's true an intelligent enhancer can be a formidable opponent

[@SquidSlaps]

Now imagine an enhancer whiz enhancers quality isn’t great but everything else is enhanced

[@cahan557]

@AlHasan Sameh to be fair they might be enhancers because they are simple minded rather than just chance that all of the enhancers are brutes. Hisoka’s personality test is far from accurate but there are some very clear consistencies between characters of the same nen type. Also as much as I love netero, didn’t he get to where he is by just spending days punching the air until he had basically perfected punching, his fighting style isn’t too far removed from as simple as uvogin’s is. He just summons a big bhodvista to punch for him.

[@cahan557]

@AlHasan Sameh When I said simple minded, I meant his fighting style not his intelligence. Netero has shown to be a fairly cunning strategist (the forethought to get the rose bomb installed) and knows how to push people’s buttons (most of the hunter exam arc lol). Just that his fighting style is basically still just hit fast and hard. His nen ability would be incredibly weak on the average person as the nen required to summon the “statue” (I can never spell it right) is immense and the conditions would make it useless for most (can’t move without having to resummon, have to pray between punches etc). So netero is obviously a very skilled and fighter and nen user, but still just the same principle of punch hard and fast.

I bet when you saw paper for the first time You didn't think it would be the only time

[@themultiverseman]

I think it’s weird that even with the dubbed version, he still says “Jan-Ken-paper”. In Japan, Jankenpon is said right before you throw down your choice of rock, paper, scissors. But In English, we just say “Rock-Paper-Scissors” in substitution for Jankenpon and then we throw down the choice. So in the dub, he should’ve just said, “Rock-Paper-Paper” since he uses the last word of “pon” in replacement of whatever he throws down. But mostly throughout the series, he would just say “Rock-Paper-Rock” since he uses rock 90% of the time. Just saiyan.

[@litatjie]

The dubbers have a very complicated job with matching mouth movements, length of sentences, tone with facial expressions on top of strict dealines. This might simply have been the only way to get lip movements, etc to match up. Because it's something Gon says more than once, they had to have something they can reuse. That would be my guess

[@themultiverseman]

@@litatjie sure but if you look at his mouth movement for when he says “show me Rock” (specifically rock) early on and then when he says “Jan”, it’s the same mouth movement… he literally just opens and closes his mouth the same.

[@litatjie]

@@themultiverseman I'm seinem not following your argument then....

[@themultiverseman]

@@litatjie I get the companies who have to translate and dub words, the same words used in Japanese aren’t going to have the same mouth movements. But when he says “Jan-Ken-Paper” he uses the same mouth movement for “Jan” / “Rock”, and we don’t even see him use the word paper. Which is probably why they said Paper instead of the Japanese word for paper since it’s English dub. And I suppose one could argue that “Ken” is a one word syllable, while paper/scissors are two word syllables, but I mean dubbing companies have overlapped words before and since it’s such a signature move, it’s just weird they are combining the two versions of “Jan-Ken-Pon” / “Rock-Paper-Scissors”. That would be the equivalent of them dubbing “Kage bunshin no Jutsu” / “Shadow clone jutsu” and saying “Shadow bunshin jutsu”.

[@litatjie]

@@themultiverseman I think you answered your own objection here. It's an iconic move. It repeats over and over in the anime. And I do think that, combined with the syllable difference, is probably why they did it the way they did. But you seem to have made up your mind so let's agree to disagree.

Without researching it i would assume its from the same period/same actors.

Technically isnt gon a 1 star (of 3) enhancer atp? Whereas he hasnt ventured much into his emitter affinity? Probably why - it is a drastic difference though

[@socio637]

gon hardly ever uses paper and isn't nearly as proficient in emission. Just because as an enhancer he can theoretically use emission techniques with 80% effectiveness doesn't mean he will be automatically good at using emission techniques without as much practice

[@Niko257x]

@socio637 yh but knuckle said it's because gon is an enhancer not because gon hasn't trained enough emission techniques.

@@Niko257x …ok? Both can be true. Obviously as an enhancer his proficiency in emission techniques would be worse, but he could overcompensate by gaining experience. Netero’s zero hand is his most powerful technique and is an emission technique, despite him being an enhancer

I have a couple theories. Paper likely gets weaker the further the distance and knuckle was decently far.
