NEN MASTERY [helper image from reddit for techniques i will reference]

Chrollo: Proficient in all, exceeds expectations with: Gyo, In, Ken and Ryu.

Nobunaga: Master in all. I fully believe this man is a nen war machine but unfortunately has limited options being an enhancer.

Feitan: Proficient in combat techniques. exceeds expectations with: Gyo, Ko, Shu and Ken. Developing En but not quite there.

Machi: Nearly a master in all except En.

Phinks: Proficient in most. Master in Ko, Ken and Ryu. Struggles with En, In and Shu.

Shalnark: Practiced in all. Doesn't really need to use In and would struggle to learn Ko, Ken and Ryu because they are outside of his nen class. Focused more on Hatsu

Franklin: Proficient in all. Struggles with En and Shu. and tangent but- imagine franklin using In to snipe someone. invisible bullets. hear me the fuck out.

Shizuku: Practiced in all. I choose to believe she's pretty new to Nen and she's worked on her hatsu more than advanced techniques. But, exceeds expectations in Shu, Gyo and Ko.

Pakunoda: Proficient in most. struggles with En and Ken

Bonolenov: Proficient in all. Well rounded but focused more on his Hatsu and his advanced techniques are present but not polished.

Uvogin: Proficient in most. Struggles with En and Shu.

Kortopi: Proficient in En, Ko, Gyo and Ken. Struggles with/never attempted In, Ren and Shu.

SINGING VOICE/RANGE (Using Choir terms [its been a while be gentle])

Chrollo: Alto/Tenor. Can consistently hit notes as long as they are in his range (has a very high range). Very silky voice but cannot do long runs

Nobunaga: Baritone. Very small range and has more of a traditional japanese style of switching notes (the long delay between note jumps and dramatized vibrato).

Feitan: no. even if he could his raspy ass voice would die after one song. that being said he can hum a mean cover. Somehow has perfect pitch

Machi: no. refuses to sing (shes a soprano with a lower range)

Phinks: Baritone. Will usually just scream. if he hits the notes with his chest it actually sounds sexy as hell

Shalnark: Soprano/Tenor. Extremely high range and proud of it.

Franklin: Baritone. He's got the low husky drawl and its so mmmmmmmmmmmm. he doesn't usually sing and when he does he doesn't use a lot of energy. if he can't hit a note he won't even try.

Shizuku: no. Soprano but has no idea what pitch is.

Pakunoda: Alto. Has a lovely singing voice, though usually sings with her head and never goes above a certain volume.

Bonolenov: Alto. Not a stereotypically good singer but can sing the songs of his heritage with amazing range and accuracy.

Uvogin: uh. Metal screaming or full chest singing. there is no in between. has a surprisingly big range just because someone (shalnark) made fun of him for not being able to hit high notes.

Kortopi: no. i honestly don't know what his range is bcs he's whispering or muttering all the time. SING. PLEASE. ANYTHING.

OPINION ON FROGS

Chrollo: neutral. they chill he's chill

Nobunaga: EW

Feitan: snack

Machi: neutral

Phinks: neutral

Shalnark: loves those freaky lil guys

Franklin: neutral

Shizuku: only likes the green and blue ones

Pakunoda: won't touch but will admire from afar

Bonolenov: loves

Uvo: neutral. likes the big ones

Kortopi: likes. will hold if he find

AURA LEVELS (based on Knuckle's units*)

*70,000 aura units appears to be the amount an advanced nen user will have. eg. Morel Mackernasey. this will be the baseline for "a lot"

Chrollo: Mid-level. He trades conditions for power so it's hard to say. and i vaguely remember somewhere it said that the abilities he borrow don't require his own aura but i don't know how true that is. personally i believe he's min/maxed the hell out of bandit's secret and his only limits are: the nen class the stolen ability belongs to and how long he can keep skill hunter active.

Nobunaga: unknown. he has enough to confidently run his mouth, but that could also be his confidence in his technique. who knows. show me your damn hatsu mister.

Feitan: High-Level. Listen. he summoned the sun. need i say more.

Machi: Mid-Level. I'd say she's on par with Hisoka who is going to probably be less than Morel. She also dips into two nen categories which greatly decreases efficiency but who knows. i could be wrong. she values strength over volume which aids to the point.

Hisoka (because i talked about him above): Mid-Level. he relies heavily on aura. his offense and defense rely on a constant maintenance of Ten, Gyo and Ken, on top of keeping track of Bungee Gum and using advanced techniques like In. But, he uses his hatsu sparingly and his fights are quick and dirty, never going over his limit.

Phinks: High-Level. also hard to judge because he ALSO relies on conditions for power. But i'd argue he's just as strong as feitan, if not stronger, in terms of base stats.

Shalnark: High-Level. he is very clear cut and easy to read so imma just say it. He's doing it. he's really doing it. having full autonomous control over the target, up to two, and having them forget are incredible feats that we have never seen in the series (except boki but he is a FRAUD). that + autopilot. i have an entire post on it go look it up

Franklin: Mid-Level. hard to tell. I can argue he's high level if we saw more feats. Mowing down 200 people is less impressive if you consider that he had piercing bullets and also 2 of them escaped.

Shizuku: Mid-Level. as said above I think she's newer to nen and has a long way to go. but as she is now, she's on par with the troupe so she's doing really well for what she has.

Pakunonda: Low-Level. Paku is clearer since we know what her restrictions are and she has two very powerful conditions: she must initiate touch and she can never fulfill her greatest desire. as for the bullets, those are easy conjuration and we know she doesn't use them a lot. therefore, she doesn't need a lot of aura to pull off what she does.

Bonolenov: High-Level. Jupiter. need i say more. ..... i don't but im gonna anyway. this man has THREE FUCKING HATSUS. he uses AT LEAST TWO- count 'em- T W O per fight. i need to stop myself before i explode

Uvo: High-Level. Probably the highest levels in the troupe and probably even exceeds Morel. He has one small condition on Big Bang Impact and it STILL did that much damage. On top of that, the capacity to take an anti tank weapon and DEADASS BE WILLING TO TAKE ANOTHER SHOT.

Kortopi: High-Level/Unknown. He might have conditions on Gallery Fake but we have been told nothing so the only fair thing to do is judge him with the idea that he is doing everything he's doing raw. From that perspective he probably outclasses Uvo by a long shot with aura levels close to a Chimera ant captain.

Between Mercy and Malice

[aspoonofsugar]

Hello! Have you seen the new page about Pakunoda in Hunter x Hunter’s new volume? What do you think it adds to her character?

Hello!

Thanks to you, I checked it up :D

I love the extra page! I think it does not add anything new, but rather it ties into Paku's characterization and arc. Basically it gives it an ulterior layer and more depth.

Paku's restriction "to never touch the one she loves the most" and the implication this person is Chrollo nicely complement her original story-line. And it does so in different ways.

Paku's power is a metaphor for empathy and intimacy. Her choice to never touch (so to never use it) on Chrollo means she is giving up on him, in a sense. This means:

She chooses to prioritize the Spider over her own personal feelings for Chrollo

She gives up on trying to fully communicate and/or understand Chrollo

Clearly the loss of Sarasa has a huge impact on this choice. On the one hand it is probably Paku understood would have chosen to forever wear a mask. Suffocating his empathy and sensitivity. So, she chose to do the same, in order to keep being by his side. On the other hand it shows how Paku too chooses to sacrifice a part of herself in order to avenge Sarasa.

At the same time, it shows how complicated Paku and Chrollo's bond was. On the one hand Paku choosing to never "steal" Chrollo's memories can be read as a sign of trust and respect. On the other hand it can be seen as Paku giving up any real closeness with him. Both physical and psychological.

This all comes down to Paku's arc in York Shin. There she symbolically chooses to prioritize her feelings for Chrollo over the Spider. She chooses him over the organization. And yet, this does not bring the two of them closer. It really makes so Paku ends her life as far away as Chrollo as possible. Both physically (Chrollo can't either talk nor interact with her in any meaningful way) and philosophically (Chrollo wanted Paku to choose the Spider, whereas she chose Chrollo).

This is why their last scene together is heartbreaking:

Sure, there are practical reasons why Chrollo is ignoring Paku. However, the framing highlights how far the two characters are emotionally too. Maybe the reason Paku chose that condition is because deep down she feared she could never reach Chrollo. And so she chose a condition that made so she did not really have to try. And yet, in the end she still made an attempt.

Thank you for the ask!
