Liam is spot on: Nen is deeply connected to a person's personality, and restrictions tied to things they dislike actually strengthen their abilities. He doesn’t like killing, so his restriction is that he must kill using the weapon he draws. He clearly understands that restrictions lead to a power boost, as he’s deliberately limited himself by not being able to choose his weapon, leaving it to the clown’s random selection. He's a min-maxer.

Ngl it would’ve been hilarious if king became Kite 😂

[@botanbutton]

Right, this was my thought too. I've been led to believe the Royal Guard was going to do what was most beneficial for the King. So, feeding the organs of Kite (a very strong rare!) to the Queen to make sure the King is nutritiously fed, but keeping the shell of Kite to feed Pitou's selfish desire, makes sense to me.

[@mrcx6142]

That goes precisely against Pitou trying to put Kite back together and revive him so she could experience their fight again. We really have NO indication or implication that any part of Kite was fed to the Queen.

[@SeasonedRookie]

@@mrcx6142We do have an indication though. It’s the fact that every birth the queen has given has been through phagogenesis. Therefore, the most likely reason why Kite was delivered through her was because she ate some part of him. You can come up with alternate theories, but it’s unfair to say there’s NO indication that the queen ate him.

[@LJCG777]

​@@SeasonedRookiethe problem is that meruem absorbed all that the queen was consuming, this being the reason why he knew not only the existence but the taste of nen users, it would continue even further since he wasn't even supposed to be born yet. The only claim to that argument would be that crazy slot 3 made whatever they took out of kite turn into another fertilized egg instead of food, but at that point does it even matter if they fed any amount of him to the queen? Also remember that the guards didn't care about the queen, in pitou's own words "we don't need it (the queen)" and the king was already near his (premature) birth.

Something interesting that I noticed in Kite's Fight vs Pitou. When Gon powered up it surprised and worried Kite. Kite wasnt aware of Gon's emotional power boost. He seemed worried because he didn't want Gon to trigger Pitou's curiosity about his power level and Chase the boys. That's why he says good decision to Killua when he KO's Gon. He also kept Pitou occupied long enough for the boys to escape.

[@damymetzke514]

Assuming crazy slots is not random at all, and provides the right tool for the situation, then I would guess the following is going on: Rather than using luck as a trade-off, Kite offers up control over the outcome. By adding slots to the machine with solutions that do not fit Kite, yet these solutions must be used as per the ability, he's essentially creating a condition which is essentially the same as a sacrifice. However there are 2 important differences. First of all the act of losing control could itself boost output, depending on your interpretation. And also, you don't need the sacrificial condition when you're up against something too strong. Consider the alternative ability of sacrificing one life, in order to gain some sort of weapon. If you're up 1v1 against something strong, you're basically powerless. Yet crazy slots guarantees that when you're up against something strong, you just need the ability itself. Thereby significantly increasing its utility and reducing potential failure conditions.

[@kennethmendoza1350]

It sort of make sense since it felt like Kite didn't know majority of the abilities of the weapons (or probably he did knew but had no control to use that certain ability)that is within his slots except for those that he had already used in certain situations,plus Ging was the one who crafted all the abilities that Kite already had, so it can be also be a condition for added power

[@Djinnerator]

"Assuming crazy slots is not random at all" Yes, it is. They literally tell us that Crazy Slots is random. We know with nen conditions that something like randomness will increase the effectiveness of the ability. Why would Togashi explicitly tell us the ability is random, and by the person who uses the ability, that it's actually not random? This is something HxH fans never cease to amaze me with. We explicitly are told how an ability works, and people want to say "no, Togashi is actually wrong, the ability actually isn't random" (which would make the ability weaker than if it were random). Crazy Slots is random. There's absolutely no evidence that it's not random, yet there's plenty of evidence that it is random, so much so that one of the pieces of evidence is the ability user outright saying it's random.

[@damymetzke514]

​@@Djinnerator You provide no references to support your argument you don't construct anything substantial, and it's easily disproved by one single fact. That fact being that Ging explicitly mentions that there is a number Kite only rolls when he desperately doesn't want to die. That fact alone contradicts your response. You should really reference which chapter you are talking about. I'm assuming here you didn't just say that from memory without verifying you didn't misremember. I did look up episode 194, which explains the ability. I can't find any other reference to any other explanation, and I don't remember one. It's been a while since reading the manga from start to finish, so I wouldn't remember such a detail probably. However, let's consider 194. Kite confirms that he can't choose the number (still aligns with my theory), and the absurdity of creating such an ability this is pointed out. Randomness is never directly mentioned, just implied by the ability being a slot machine. Kite also mentions he finds it annoying, which actually fits with my theory as I speculate his dislike of the outcome is what is used as a sacrifice. Focusing on the absurdity like that while never confirming the exact mechanism behind could very well be a set up that suggest you're not understanding the ability. Also, even if it is "random", that doesn't mean it cannot be changed. In Japanese culture, luck plays an important role and is considered an attribute you can possess. My theory still works if you instead say that the ability provides a sort of ironic luck, in which Kite gets an ability which he doesn't like but does do the job he needs it to do. Like he's always succeeding just not in a way that is preferable to him. Also I didn't every say Togashi is wrong, do not put that in quotes and apply it to me. Clearly that is just a strawman you've created, and that kind of response is uncalled for. If you just referenced the chapter where you believe I am proven wrong, then I would either admit I was wrong or provide my reason why I still think I'm right. At that point we may disagree, but never did I say I think Togashi was wrong. I believe that he implied it was random from context, when in reality there is a different explanation that explains the seemingly weird choice for an ability. Especially since it contrasts so strongly to Kite's personality. And I will keep believing this until I'm proven wrong properly.

[@Djinnerator]

@@damymetzke514 Ging never said Kite will only roll the number when he doesn't want to die. He said there's a number that Kite can roll when he doesn't want to die. Wtf do you mean I provided no reference? Kite literally tell us when he explains Crazy Slots that it's random. Did you not read the manga or even watch the anime? Are you just talking out your ass? If that wasn't mentioned, why else would everyone, including you, talking about Crazy Slots also bring up its randomness? Considering you also don't provide any chapter reference, what you're saying is also unsubstantiated if that's what you require... Do I need to provide an reference if I say Pitou's En is oddly shaped and is in the form of tendrils? If you want chapters and pages, I can provide that, but you can just ask for it instead of diminishing something that was explicitly stated in the text. There's honestly no point in even responding to you if you seriously think there's no support that Crazy Slots is random when the author literally makes it as plain as day that it's random. You can't find any panel of Ging saying Kite will roll the number when he doesn't want to die when the situation comes up, he just says there's a number that's available. That means if his normal rolls can be 1-9, then when he doesn't want to die, his rolls can now be 1-10. I take it you either haven't read the manga, seen the anime, or are everything you think about the series is from someone else telling you what the series is about, or maybe I can give you the benefit of the doubt and if you read it, you read an unofficial translation. Cause actually saying there's no reference to support that Crazy Slots is random is probably the most illogical thing in this comment thread, or at least showing signs of not paying attention to what the text literally says. The Japanese text explicitly says it's random.

[@damymetzke514]

​@@Djinnerator Everything you've just said is wrong, I've already verified it. A lack of reading comprehension isn't an argument. The point of crazy slots is that its most obvious mechanism you assume, randomness, doesn't make sense if you think it through. Its absurdity is literally pointed out directly after the explanation, there is no clearer way for an author to signal you have to doubt something. I won't address this again, if you don't get it now you never will.

woah amazing video bro. I need to write something about Kite for a video and this breakdown adds a lot of nuance that I missed while rewatching some episodes and clips today. Thanks Liam!

[@Djinnerator]

The theory that Crazy Slots reincarnated Kite takes such a huge assumption. Ging says there's a number Kite has when he really doesn't want to die, but that's very different from a number that reincarnates him. We only see Kite use Crazy Slots three times, and each of those three times was a different roll. We saw that it doesn't require the Queen to eat someone to make a chimera ant. Pouf is able to make a chimera ant hybrid with the body. Koala talks about how souls work in the HxH world, which I'm glad you mentioned because people tend to conveniently ignore that conversation. If Kite is reincarnated into the nearest birthed creature, that creature would've already had a soul, unless he kicked out that soul, or there are two in the body, ala Alluka and Nanika. If you're right about the soul of the previous girl having actually left and the Queen ate an "empty" body, thus accepting Kite's soul, that could make some sense. Also the idea that Crazy Slots actually gives good rolls is contrary to all the evidence we get, that those are actually bad rolls. Kite was just a very proficient fighter, so it makes sense that he can use "bad" rolls and still come out ahead.

[@WanderingMendicant-qd7mv]

I honestly never thought about the contradiction that Kite was never actually fed to the Chimera Ant queen which is wild considering I read the manga and watched the animation years later.

[@willft520]

People think the other rolls would include other weapons such as a sword, but I think the reason he calls some rolls bad is because he doesn't like killing so he probably also has some non-lethal weapons, maybe he has a way to paralize one objective and multiple objectives at the same time by using a net or a blowgun or even something crazier, like a hot air balloon to get out of a situation.

[@sycros1866]

It's my personal belief that crazy slots actually always gives kite the exact ability he needs for that particular situation. It just so happens that in most situations it involves defeating the opponent and kite who doesn't like to kill would indeed call it a bad spin. Butt for slot number 3 where he gets reincarnated he doesn't need to kill anything and so while he doesn't say it's a good spin the implication is that it is because nothing has to die.

[@Djinnerator]

"crazy slots actually always gives kite the exact ability he needs" Togashi literally tells us it's random. That's like reading Killua talk about his family being assassins and people are like "no, actually, the Zoldycks are doctors and nurses." How is it that people push this theory that crazy slots isn't random when we're literally told by the author through the ability user that it's random. There's 0 evidence of it not being random. What more evidence do people want aside from it being explicitly stated that it's random, cause apparently that's not enough.

Dude, the mandela effect on that shit is so real. I have rewatched the series so many times thinking I remember Kite saying that he had a good roll when he fought Neferpito, but he really doesn't. I have no idea what the hell happened because I have that memory so clearly. It's insane to think it wasn't just me.

[@MatteoDough]

I thought that kite says “bad roll” everytime because crazy slot is concious and forced to give kite a good weapon suitable for the situation.

[@Djinnerator]

No, Crazy Slots gives a random roll each time. It doesn't give the most suitable weapon. That would go against the condition set for the ability and also goes against the explicit text of the manga where Togashi literally tells us it's random. There's no ambiguity with this - it's random.

[@MatteoDough]

@@Djinnerator i just thought that kite says it everytime hence crazy slot being agitated every time he says it. Kind of amazing if thats the case but oh well. Random is random

The dialogue between the slots and Kite create confusion as illustrated by Gon when he was like, “you made it this way”. The opponent would never know that weapon is their maker.

[@amigara_chan]

I wouldn't be surprised if Kite's clownlike weapon is the reason of his revival, since Hisoka is another clown that got revived using nen.

[@CyWySu123456]

Well, he used that same gun on the ants when Gon and Killua first showed up, kicking this arc off. He shot a few times and killed a few ants, so idk about the 1 v 1 and 1 v many bit. But him hating taking life, that's solid

[@Lina-fq5hd]

I personally think Pitou fed Kite's brain to the queen and then tried to resurrect him, at that point in time Pitou didn't know anything about humans and only later tried to find out more about them to restore Kite- only to find out she couldn't do it because she had already given the brain to the queen.

[@GuyLogen]

I never even though about this. But it makes so much sense. If this is true, this just shows how smart togashi is with building his nen system.

[@_iao_]

I think you're on the right track, that it always gives him what is necessary for the scenario. But his reactions are genuine in that, he doesn't know before the roll what will be required of him, and the roll itself can be interpreted as a form of future sight. So he can still be surprised by what the roll reveals, then act accordingly.

the randomness of the slots , seems to be the similar with Omnitrix in Ben 10, which was a long standing questions, where Ben always doesn't get the alien he wants. Which creates an interesting fight scene, where he had to adapt to the fight with that wrong alien choice

[@MercenaryTau]

Have you ever tried to tackle the size of the planet featured in HxH? The initial maps from the early arcs make it look like Earth, just upside-down and rearranged but as we zoom out, even "Lake" Mobius is twice that size.

[@sigilhunter3199]

For real, The planet must be similar in size , to like Neptune or something. Assuming each continent of the human world is roughly the same size as our continents.

[@mrnoname5183]

I have a theory that Kite actually has a nen beast which is the clown. No where else in hunter hunter do we see a supposedly nen ability with a seeming consciencess. The clown talks back to kite, and seemingly knows what number it’ll land on in my opinion. And if we go with the theory the rolls arnt actually random. Then they are picked either by Kite’s sub-conscience or picked by something else. No other nen ability has something that creates a being with a conscience that talk back against their owner so my theory is what the clown actually is, is a form of nen beast that resides in the staff, that would explain the “randomness” how the nen could be used even after death, and why the clown is the way it is

[@Djinnerator]

"if we go with the theory that the rolls aren't actually random" This is completely false. Togashi literally puts in the text that it's random. What more could people want than the author explicitly telling you something. I can't comprehend how people are told with no ambiguity, that Crazy Slots is random, yet people are saying "no, Togashi is actually wrong, it's not random." If you can't take the word of _the author_ then you can just make up whatever in your headcanon. Anyone saying Crazy Slots isn't random either isn't paying attention to the series or are refusing to accept details that the author explicitly tells us in clear language. That "theory" is one of the most illogical theories because we're literally told by the author through the ability user that the ability is random. There's no evidence of this "not random" theory, yet there's clear evidence that it might as well be proof, that it's random.

[@mrnoname5183]

@@Djinnerator lol “puts it into the text” means nothing. When he writes that he goes based of what we the audience (kite) told Gon. Many authors have lied before to reveal stuff later on so you’re getting heated for nothing. Secondly there is evidence. Not only coincidental evidence but Gon’s Dad literally says that there’s a spin Kite used when he REALLY doesn’t want to die. Meaning the spins are not completely random. Thirdly, kite himself could not be aware of this fact. The whole point is that the source is what Kite said and what’s been revealed so far. Togashi also recharged how the power system works, where people can now be in between types. Lastly, theories are always for fun, don’t hate on ppl just bc they like making them. Some authors have even changed their stories due to liking theories enough

[@Djinnerator]

@@mrnoname5183 Has Togashi "lied" about an ability and then changed it? I didn't know Togashi was "many authors." Who are these "many" authors anyway? I don't see what other authors have anything to do with this author. Secondly, Ging only said there's a number where Kite really doesn't want to die, that doesn't mean he'll roll that number. Where in the manga does it say he'll roll that number if he really doesn't want to die? For all we know, the number just becomes available along with the other numbers to be selected. If he not ally can only roll 1-9 and number 10 is only for when he's doesn't want to die, his rolls now could be 1-10 instead of 1-9, meaning the spins are completely random. You are assuming things and saying how an ability works that wasn't explained in the manga. But I guess it doesn't matter how anything was explained because anything could be a lie, so why even determine what's canon? Thirdly, Kite would be aware of this fact because it's his ability and he's further developed it along with Ging teaching it to him. Togashi didn't change the power system, people have always been able to be between two types, even since the nen system was introduced. You must be confusing people learning and training in categories with their being innately efficient in a category. For example, Kurapika is considered between Conjuration and Specialist, but he's innately Conjurer, but Specialist when using scarlet eyes. He's not innately between Specialist and Conjuration. Leorio is between Emission and Enhancement but he's innately an Emitter and Emitters have a much easier time to learn and gain proficiency in adjacent categories: Enhancement and Manipulation. Notice how there isn't a single person who happens to be between two categories that aren't adjacent from their innate. It's almost as if that's how it's intended. Lastly, it's crazy how sensitive you are that anyone who says something contrary to your opinion is seen as being heated. Good to know instead of dialogue, you just go straight to ad-hominem. Theories are good to think about, but when the source text literally tells you something that makes the theory illogical, the theory becomes moot, and trying to cling to it just shows you either refuse to accept what's canon, or you think the author is incapable of saying how the world they created works, which would mean nothing in the series is worth accepting because you can just change whatever you want on the basis of "the author could be wrong." Using that logic, we can say the illustration showing the placement of people with respect to their nen category is wrong because Togashi could be wrong. See how that makes no sense? You're getting heated because someone pointed out the illogical idea of your theory that doesn't make sense considering it's established that Crazy Slots is random, period. "'puts it into text' means nothing" Lmaoooo it literally is the most valuable information regarding the world build by the author. What do you even mean? So even though it's in official text, it means nothing? So why are you even making theories about Crazy Slots, the ability probably doesn't even exist. The text means nothing, right? Unbelievable. No wonder you think Crazy Slots isn't random, you just make shit up on your headcanon and believe that's how the series actually is, regardless of what the author actually says.

[@mrnoname5183]

@@Djinnerator lol the source literally is giving us clues that there’s more to his power. 1. The fact that there’s a number that happens when Kite doesn’t want to die means that it’s not completely random. Your whole second point of the person literally choosing and developing their nen skill then contradicts your prior point because using that logic, he should know/be in control of what number he gets. Thirdly, I noticed you never mentioned the clown yet. How the clown himself seems to have a personality that actually annoys kite. Seems strange which further disproves your argument since it wouldn’t make sense for kite to purposely have that. 4. No, there can be people in between specialties, this was redone by togashi himself, tho it wasn’t made until after the anime when the rework had been done. 5. Again kite himself is the one that said this, meaning the perspective we have, along with not even fully understanding all the capabilities of nen abilities leads viewers to make theories. Also my comment about you being heated must’ve been spot on cause I never had any I’ll intent behind that. Theories are indeed good and this one isn’t contradicting anything. You assume we have the full picture of nen, abilities, and how they work, but there’s still a lot that is left unexplained. Lastly, even if kite himself did make the nen ability he still may not understand exactly how it works, or maybe restricted his knowledge of it on purpose in order to make it stronger, like kurapika’s nen restrictions for going emperor time

[@nicholasdelrossi6800]

These theory videos keep getting deeper and better each new one explorers areas of Hunter Hunter that I wish I had the focus and intelligence at the time to Delvin into myself and your explanations for how they work are both amazingly interesting and clear enough that the only reason I have to rewatch the video is because of how great it is or due to wanting to delve even deeper into my own theories, based off of those you present

[@jbark678]

It could be that Kite can only subconsciously influence crazy slots, allowing for him to simultaneously be in control and lack control. To quote Jung, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

[@Djinnerator]

He can't influence it. It's completely random.

[@bennettholmes1107]

Here’s my personal head cannon on kite’s abilities: the author created all 9 abilities a long time ago but only he knows them. Whenever he wants to use one of the 9 within the story, he would roll a 9 sided die and continue writing the story based upon the outcome. Knowing kite’s true personality he could easily know which abilities would be “bad rolls” in his eyes.

[@Unabletodraw]

It’d be cool if the secret post mortem ability happens when the slot is mid-spin. Interruption of the spin looking for the nearest broken cycle in a effort for a mulligan

[@shawnstewart7307]

I like your thought process with this theory. First watch and you got another sub. Much love ❤❤❤ keep doing what your doing

[@TY-wi1xl]

The ability is luck manipulation/storage. Kite stores his luck by getting bad rolls on purpose then when he needs to survive releases it with slot 3. The baton even has a clover-shaped end piece.

[@morningivy]

It doesn't always give him what he wants, but it gives him what he needs. I like to think that sometimes it gives him a weapon and he has no idea why so he has to figure out the exact way he has to use the weapon for the situation. And other times it's obvious: it gave me a gun, it wants me to shoot the ants.

[@hypercrafting]

My headcanon is that kite couldn't bother choosing what his nen ability would be and went "i don't know, give me something random", but i also believe that him getting a powerful weapon results in bad luck later on, while a weak weapon gives him good luck, which is why he would consider 2 and 4 to be "bad rolls" even though they come with really powerful weapons, what he considers good might be something that guarantees his safety, which in this case, might've caused just the right series of events that lead to his revival.

[@MrHetkin]

I believe the Slot number 3 he got increases the probability of Kite's survival given the circumstances. His reincarnation as a chimera ant was simply an unlikely yet existing possibility at the time that got more likely via his ability. Risky Dice basically.

[@DandySusano]

LMAO Kite with the noxious scythe shouldn't go that hard.

[@greedier-7661]

So my guesses are like this: 1. Kite whichever weapon was last has an ability to transfer him to any corpse and posses it. 2. After Kite took over that girl corpse it was fed to ant queen 3. Meruem absorbed all animalistic and monstrous parts during his birth making Kite normal like human. ------------------------------------------------------------ So to put it simply, Kite ability would allow him to live but only by taking over the corpse and we already seen similar abilities. Kite was unlucky/lucky to be immediately fed to the queen, which normally would combine him with some animal and make him an ant thing. However Kite was again lucky that Meruem was so op that he absorbed the strongest parts that ant queen was feeding them at that time, taking over all monstrous parts and leaving kite with only his pure taken over body parts being reincarnated though ant queen. ------------------------------------------------------ So normally Kite would be stuck in the corpse, but he was lucky to have ant queen reincarnate him into living being and lucky that Meruem took monstrous parts during his birth.

[@greedier-7661]

The reason for my theory is that: 1: Kite would not use ability that would steal some ones living body. 2: Kite body for sure was not fed to ant queen. 3: Kite would not kill new born baby soul. 4: Kite has no way to manipulate how ant queen reincarnation process works, so Meruem must have been the one that allowed him to keep his humanity as he was specially created ant. 5: Kite would expect to have some corpses around if he were to die and they should be compatible with post death nen as they should generate some as well. So kite should be using both his post death nen as well as body post death nen to obtain heighten ability to posses it.

[@melvinhans497]

with the same point at 2:11 bringing Gon and Killua along with him for training- would it be possible that during Kite vs. Pitou in the fight kite learns about Pitou’s ability i think dr. blythe where she’s controlling another vessel like a puppet and kite gets a crazy idea to sacrifice himself under the condition pitou uses his body like a puppet when she faces Gon and Killua again for the sake of either continuing or completing his training for them? because it is weird how he doesn’t get fed to the queen and no other ants question her for keeping the body unless she has used her ability in front of them before and it was either another human or another ant as her puppet.

Maybe the Crazy Slots gives Kite what he needs to win the battle. And there was nothing Kite could do against Pitou. Thus, reincarnation is the only option.

Togashi literally tells us that it's random. It doesn't give what he needs to win, it's completely random. Kite was just a very proficient fighter and nen-user, so he could use even bad rolls to his advantage, but Crazy Slots is 100% random.
