    I want to clarify that we have no direct evidence that any type of specialist can use all types of Nen at 100%. Moreover, we know for sure from Togashi's "Nen Chart" that no one except people belonging to a particular type of Nen can enter the circle of attributes of this type of Nen. We also do not know how effectively specialists can use other types of Nen, we only know that they learn much easier to use the types of Nen that are at the other end of the hexagonal chart. Kurapika's specialization ability allowed him to use all types of Nen at 100%, and this was a big surprise for Uvo, so it is very unlikely that ALL specialists have this ability. And yes, after this chapter, it is obvious that Specialists most likely have the opportunity to learn and use any type of Nen by more than 70%(A lower percentage would most likely create difficulties in learning these types of Nen, and as Morena says, Specialists do not have them.), but we cannot yet say anything more.

      I'd be bold enough to say all Specialist have the same ability as Kurapika to use all categories of Nen at 100%. the problem is, when specialists wall themselves into a particular hatsu then they are bound to it and must use other tactics/restrictions to expand their abilities/hatsu.
      That said, the range of expertise of a category will obviously differ. So you might have Kurapika being able to use 100% of Enhancement, for example, but he will likely only ever get to Excellent level with it while a pure Enhancer can reach Natural or Extreme. A Specialist might be able to reach Natural or Extreme but likely will have an equivalent sacrifice to reach it while a pure Enhancer would make a similar sacrifice (or just spend a bunch of time in the mountains praying) to get to Natural or Extreme in some other category.

      ​@@LeoBeastmode Under Kurapika's explanation it seems like every Specialist with proper training would think of a coverage hatsu. "When I swap my affinity to Enhancer when I close my fist". Which would let them bounce between having 80% and 100% in every category.
      Morena's explanation (at least in the TCB translation) is that the description of categorization seems... odd. She implies Specialists can ruin their potential by training in one category. Possibly with the expo rules they could "drift out of" being a specialist if they spend all their time practicing conjuration. If it isn't the OT explanation that specialization can proxy for anything itself, then Morena's probably omitting details to Borksen about how specialization works. Possibly to convince Borksen it's in her own best interest to be learning from her (Morena).

      ​@@LeoBeastmode IF they have the ability to use all other new categories at 100% efficiency then that makes Kurapika nen vow to use emperor time useless. Why would he need to sacrifice his life span to use all nen categories at 100% if he could do so naturally when he's a specialist? Makes no sense
      They most definitely can use all other nen categories and learn and combine abilities from them easily but I wouldn't say their efficiency is at 100% (unless they create some sort of restrictions or nen vow like Kurapika) but a base specialist probably has like a 60-80% efficiency across the board that's just my guess.

      @mattb.7079 Місяць тому +4

      The whole idea of the Specialization category is to break the preestablished rules of nen, but up till now we didn't know what that implied specifically: considering Kurapika, Morena, Alluka and Chrollo (like Morena, the latter both should as well tap in all categories with their hatsus), it's the most likely assumption that Specialists can use all types of nen at such level of proficiency (although it may necessitate certain conditions to be met); Uvo's surprise doesn't mean much, as Specialists are pretty much a mystery even for nen users, and we know that Chrollo typically doesn't tell his comrades about his abilities-hell, for what we know, Morena might as well be one of the best nen users we've seen in the series so far as she seems to have awakened, learned and researched about nen from scratch, and yet provided us with the best explanation so far on what Specialization actually entails, the proportion of its users in the population as well as its main pitfall. A character like Pakunoda shows what Morena means by saying that Specialists can ruin their potential by limiting themselves to one or two categories: Lynch developed a very similar ability to Paku's while being only an Emitter; while Pakunoda's is still the superior version, both seem to use the same underlying principles, as Paku appears to be mostly if not only using Emission

    i dont think there is reason in thinking all specialists are 100% in every cathegory.
    think about it, kurapika exchange life time for that, but he turned into a specialist before realizing any hatsu! so nah, that is still possible but requires a lot of bullshitery from kurapika's side.
    also, what morena said about specialists not realising their true potential would not make sense having every specialist with 100% in every nen category. they having some hidden % spread that the water divination cant decipher fits better with specialists having a harder time learning what they are good at.
    so i think it goes like this: they are out of the ordinary. they most likely can be 100% all around, but also could be something like 100% in manip and enhancement, and 60% all the others (that would be my guess for pitou). at least that is what i think makes the most sense, from what the manga gave us till now.

      The problem with this logic is the 4th Prince has clearly shown the ability to potentially be 100% effective in any class of his choosing.
      Kurapika does so with Emperor Time.
      And Chrollo, due to his abilities, is able to do so with the right book activation.

  • @TJE.13
    @TJE.13 Місяць тому +4

    Specialists don't have 100% on every type usually.. But they can create an ability that can have the same effect. The way I see it, Specialists are capable of creating Hatsu that can use any combination of the types, however we have yet to see a specialist with multiple Hatsu. It's like they get to create one very special ability and that's it. Usually it comes naturally so there isn't as much thought process as other Nen users meaning they don't really create a hatsu it just manifests naturally somehow.

    Like, in order to create an emission of enough power to be a real threat, does it HAVE to be made into a Hatsu? Are nen ki blasts possible?

Either he's a diplomatistic ruler or will become a ruthless dictator and that are only 2 of the Millions of options; This would be scary, since Halkenburg is absolute set on winning this and 'reforming' the country, but of course in first princes hands its also VERY scary, but I just wanted to point out the possibility

    I can't imagine them announcing martial law over anything as trivial as Borksen's disappearance, we've already seen worse in tier-1 like with Silent Majority or the suspicious deaths of two of the Princes without raising the possibility that Benjamin would enact martial law being raised despite it always being in his vested interest to do so.
    Kurapika was speculating just a few chapters ago that it would need something on the level of a mafia group openly assassinating a Prince to give Benjamin his justification to take over the legal system, though the Phantom Troupe stealing the national treasures would reasonably be up there too if Kurapika had any inkling of it.
    I assume we're going to go back chronologically to see one of the assassination attempts -- the Luzurus kidnap/murder plan with Melody and co, something disastrous happening at Kurapika's Nen training with Zhang Lei and Woble, or Halkenburg's move against Benjamin with the possibility that Halkenburg is currently possessing Benjamin's body and has just used it to enact martial law.

      I think the deal with Kurapika is that he basically gets 100% efficency as if he fully trained in all categories for years. AKA that's why he can have a buncha hatsu's while in emperor time that are insanely strong without training.
      The freaking Heal Chain is insanely high level enhancer stuff that'd clearly need a long time of training to manage, we haven't seen an ability able to heal like that at all yet I think besides Kurapika.

      You are misunderstanding Kurapika's case. Crimson eyes activation makes him a specialist not Emperor Time. Specialist naturally have 100% efficiency with all type. However, they have to train to master them. Morena explained that specialist are so talented in all categories that they tend to think another category is their innate category. Uvogin just probably didn't know that specialists can naturally master all categories. What make Kurapika OP is Emperor Time, where he sacrifices his lifespan in other to gain MASTERY over all the categories WITHOUT needing to TRAIN. Emphasis on the key words. Heal Thumb is something almost, if not, on the level of greed island's breath of archangel card which requires high level of mastery over the enhancement category. I'll also assume he can use Emperor Time without the Crimson Eyes if he wanted to but it will be a waste as only Conjuration will be mastered.

    I gotta hand it to you TO. There's definitely more here. I do want to congratulate you.
    I previously was skeptical about your thoughts along the lines of "These balance issues don't matter for the ants with superhuman aura" and "As crazy as it is Chrollo may just be over double the level of Silva and Zeno" or "Nen thieves may also steal the original Nen user's precision/level/accuracy for that hatsu". But now I have formed a theory adjacent to your's that may not stand a single additional chapter. There's a very, VERY morbid chance there is a unifying thread between Chrollo, Leol, and Morena. And that's treating humans as meat.
    If there's some... piece of a body that is the source of aura or emblematic of a specific proficiency. There's probably some surgical way to take that piece. Say the special liver of an emitter, special heart of a manipulator, special adrenal gland of an enhancer, and special lungs of a conjuror and implant them in the body with the special brain of a specialist.
    Which would be creepy, and could give Togashi wiggleroom around accusations of making a chosen-one category.

      -I've mused elsewhere It may be canonizing the Expo Nen info that could actually depower Specialists as-established because natural Specialists may accidentally shift themselves from Specialization to Conjuration or Manipulation. Losing or even just making their Specialization affinity weaker.
      -It could be that she's alluding to Hatsu similar to Emperor Time. One that could make using and mastering other nen categories easier. So it would be an objective waste of time to start learning say Transmutation at 60% efficiency and spend a year reaching say level 12 mastery. When they could do it in 7 months.
      -It could be Specialists have access to other means, methods, and ways to make restrictions and oaths.
      -It may be Morena knows something about how as shared Hatsu interacts with different hosts with different affinities.

      However, it's not beyond the pale at all that the "life force" of the user of a certain category is powered by a particular organ. I haven't thought of that. I'm assuming Perigord being designated the "organ" and Bork the "donor" inspired this line of thinking?

    Yeah Specialization can allow someone to use an ability that uses advanced technqiues from all categories however plenty of them fail to do that I would say its really isn't that overpowered. Kurapika loses his lifespan when he is in Emperor Time that state.
    Chrollo needs to fulfill 4 conditions to steal a power, must hold the book to use stolen abilires and if the original user dies the abiliy disappears, he even admitted that Zeno's gyo is unblockable by him.
    Pakunoda could only read memories from physical touch after asking a question, that is hardly a broken ability.

      @@elpsykongroo8308 Yeah. Its so damn-hard to figure out anything with all the Basics just blatantly missing.
      I mean, to apply some confusion-juice to your example: So what if a Specialist wants to have Bunge Gum, Completly-IDENTICAL (really wanna stress: completly and utterly) - what can he do? Can he have a Speciaization-Version of it or can he as soe now seem to suggest just get it as Transmutaton-Type (so literally like Hisoka has it) and its 100% Efficienccy or somethin'? God, this makes no snese no matter from which angle i look at it. Either Morena is lying OR SHE MEANS 'LEARNING SPEED'. So its probably just an Extension of 'Nen-Leanings' which a year ago was revealed by Togashi. I assume you heard of that?

      @slevinchannel7589 imo...and this is a pure guess...but specialists cannot "create" their specialization hatsus....it just awakens and all they can do is tweak it by adding more restrictions or complementing it with other non-specialisation based hatsus....any hatsu they create other than their "awakened" specialist hatsu would have to follow the standard nen proficiency.
      So, if their "awakened" specialisation hatsu was like bungee gum then it would work at 100% proficiency but if they choose to "create" bungee gum as an additional hatsu then they will only be able to use it at 60% as then it wouldn't be a specialization hatsu but a transmutation hatsu.

    I want to say specialist being rare is a retcon as we have seen many even more than transmuters, but most of them were seen in extreme situations (I don't know if this is intentional from Togashi)
    the phantom troupe had two specialist but they are from meteor city, the whole mafia community is wary of them, and even silva Zoldyck said they aren't worth the trouble
    neon is a nen genius (despite no particular reason is given for that)
    chimera anta had at least four specialist and they aren't fully human (morena census would have a hard time interviewing one of them)
    nanika is a dark continent creature
    kurapika is only half a specialist in extreme emotion
    morena life is so f'd up she can't be any thing other than a specialist
    we know nothing about borksen but maybe she was "lucky" to be born like that

      but now this Retcon makes the Oversight of Togashi not keeping track into a whole Storyline/Plotpoint.
      It's not even just Specialization anyway: Look what Morena says shares the Place of Second-Rarest: Conju and Manipu, the 2 most abundant things. We have so many Conjurers people have long asked for less of them.

    I have been waiting for this the moment I finished reading this chapter I knew your take on it would be hype. Also surprised you didn't talk about Morena saying her ability involves all the nen types it concerns me that she says this because if she's referring to contagion then I don't see how conjuration is involved at all and as for this card game it just seems like a simple application of manipulation maybe with the cards being made from conjuration but even so would that potentially mean she has a third ability or that contagion has an aspect we don't yet know that involves conjuration.

      Yeah, I was unsure about that one as well on my first reading, but I think she meant it in the sense that her ability can help foster the abilities of ANY category. Meaning she can equally assist a Specialist (a member of her own category) and an Enhancer (a member of her opposite category) in attaining and empowering their abilities.

    I hate that you ended up being right about Specialization's brokeness, as it both adds to the "asspull-y" nature of the category and that it really made sense that users like Chrollo would be affected by Nen proficiency as he never uses skills of categories other than Conjuration, Manipulation or Specialization (apart from Teleportation), and some of the Specialists make sense they have lower than average physicality given: Chrollo himself always avoided CQC against Hisoka, Paku got stunned by a Gon who has only learnt the basics of Nen, and the existence of Binolt.
