I dont want to sound impatient, but this Nen stuff is kinda boring me.

It gets better, but I agree, this tends to be downside of introducing Nen to the series. So much exposition.

 

[BatDan]

Good ol' cha- I mean aura.

 

[Shard]

Nodes.

 

[Man God]

Copying Naruto.

So it's not just me then. Looks like this is on pace to be a meh episode.

Yeah, I remember reading this stuff in the manga but the only thing I remember about it was being bored.

Probably also why I still don't really remember how Nen works.

 

[Crocodile]

There's a pretty huge risk this way

Sure every shortcut method in every shonen has a "risk" (usually death) but since that never comes to pass (and it would be manga/show ending if it did), there's never any actual risk.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

By George, I think they've got it!

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

YOU NOW CAN POSSESS STANDS

I MEAN CHAKRA

I MEAN QUIRKS

I MEAN NEN

I MEAN KI

I MEAN HAKI

I MEAN SPIRITUAL ENERGY

 

[Dominican Power]

These parts were better when I watched it in Japanese.

 

[UltraGunner]

They're already Chakra masters

 

[Akainu]

Where did gon learn that word?

 

[Seda]

I think it's not grabbing me because, right now, it sounds so similar to every other form of "life energy" power stuff.

 

[Zonic]

OH GOD, HE'S TAKING THEM TO THE SHADOW REALM

 

[Shard]

Worth noting that not everything there is to know about Nen is going to be explained here.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

He's nen looks like a ghost type Pokémon?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

He shall send to the shadow realm if they fail.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

I MEAN KI

I MEAN HAKI

I MEAN SPIRITUAL ENERGY

I MEAN THE HEART OF THE CARDS... wait...

 

[mightynine]

OH GOD, HE'S TAKING THEM TO THE SHADOW REALM

Nah, that's Dimension W

 

[Tacorona72]

OH GOD, HE'S TAKING THEM TO THE SHADOW REALM

Was about to say this lol.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

It's just technojargon that most shows will gloss over since it's basically magic, and it changes as the plot demands it.

So it feels like we're just wasting time here.

 

[Grexeno]

"How to Nen for Dummies."

 

[Hellwarden]

Yeah, we can walk towards him!

 

[MetatronM]

I dont want to sound impatient, but this Nen stuff is kinda boring me.

I always found this the most tedious part of the series in the original, too. Fortunately the stuff that comes after is awesome. And once we get past the basics, Nen is pretty cool.

Yeah it'll seemingly start out that way,

Spoiler

but it'll become as crazy as Stands are.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

NO SELL!

 

[Shard]

IT IS TIME TO DUEL!

 

[Moaradin]

Na Nen is one of the most thought out power systems out there. None of this is a waste of time.

yeah

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Hey it worked!

 

[Zonic]

Well, that's kind of nice this was only half the episode. Feared this would've taken the entire time.

It becomes very important in the later seasons.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Gon, hurry, punch Hisoka in the face and run the fuck away.

 

[UltraGunner]

He's waaay too obsessed with these two little boys

Nen doesn't actually change at all as the series goes on.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

He it even doubles down on it

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

I always found this the most tedious part of the series in the original, too. Fortunately the stuff that comes after is awesome. And once we get past the basics, Nen is pretty cool.

This is part of the reason why I'm not biggest fan of the Greed Island arc since several of those episodes is dedicated to even more Nen exposition training episodes.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I feel like Hisoka's nen should have been more difficult to conquer.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Got to play the game before you get to the final boss

The thing is that Hunter x Hunter is the exception to that rule. It's very strict about its rules. The stuff about nen isn't technobabble, they're the actual rules the series will adhere to.

 

[Grexeno]

Hey these guys sure don't look like scrubs

 

[skLaFarebear]

It?

 

[Jarate]

I hate most of the character designs in this show

 

[Hellwarden]

So I take it everyone 200 floors and up is a huge wierdo?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

The Triple Criple Gang is lurking

 

[Shard]

Right, before our ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny we have to deal with some starter garbage.

 

[Dominican Power]

I feel like Hisoka's nen should have been more difficult to conquer.

I don't think he was trying at all.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

He's waaay too obsessed with these two little boys

There actually is a legit reason that will be revealed.

 

[BatDan]

They did it!
This is where Nen really begins
