Atmospheric Decompression For Bad Manners Hatsu

Imagine training with a butler to learn proper etiquette.

Ever instance of you or some uncouth youth doing something unrefined like not saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, not saying please/thank you, or cussing incurs some localized barotraumatic decompression.

Symptoms include dizziness, burst blood vessels, nausea, loss of bladder function, and eventual unconsciousness.

If this butler goes into a tavern, then all the myopic and rambunctious patrons that want to start a fight will be neutralized from his decompression.

GESTALT: IKEA EFFECT (Automatic Enhancement Of Whatever You Assemble Hatsu)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA\_effect

The IKEA Effect is that feeling where you place a disproportionately higher value on things you've partially created.

IKEA sells unassembled furniture in boxes for you as the consumer to assemble at home at a relatively cheap price. Build-A-Bear workshop applies, too.

I thought it'd be interesting to have a subordinate that swiftly assembles their weapons during the fight. But they capriciously change sides after giving them a rare GUNDAM model they'll add to their collection.

When they assemble a glock, their aura enhances said glock, and the bullets are more percussive, homing, or resistant to metal fatigue.

Would You Be A Nen Instructor IRL?

I can see the vast majority of Nen instructors initially teaching Nen the slow-and-steady way with meditation and breathing techniques.

But soon, they or their students would grow impatient from Nen's steep learning curve and just open their students' aura nodes with a Nen attack to accelerate their curriculum.

I'd personally inflict a harmless Nen beast at my student to open their aura nodes and unconjure it after a day.

It'd make for an interesting story about a Nen teacher seeking atonement for letting their frustration with a slow-learning student get the better of them into unilaterally baptizing them with a Nen attack.

That student became gruesomely maimed like losing their jaw or a dissociative identity emerged to cope with their strenuous training that appears in a fight-or-fight state.

Teaching isn't for everyone and is the most noble profession for a reason.

DOG-EARED (En Masse Origami Manipulation)

I thought it'd be interesting to have a chaotically good child OC on your team. They'd innocuously give you a paper origami that you'd put in your breast pocket, and it'd end up saving your life.

Like you're falling to death, and they manipulate a thousand paper cranes to gently break your fall.

Imagine them surrounding the enemy with a swarm of origami locusts and witnessing them being eaten alive like in real life to a plantation.

They'd be emitting some of their aura into each origami to manipulate them. The origami would be weak to fire and water.
