Questions about Izunavi's explanation (ch 83)

Questions about Izunavi's explanation (ch 83)

I'm basing this of with the image's translation, any corrections/clarifications on it will be appreciated.

  1. When Izunavi says acquire Specialization was he pertaining to a talent that is available to a bloodline of Specialists, or Conjurers, or Manipulators?

  2. Can members of the Kurta that are not a Conjurer/Manipulator/Specialist when their eyes turn Scarlet, also aquire this talent/bloodline trait of temporarily becoming a Specialist? And as a follow up, when Kurapika does enter his Scarlet Eyes, it's when he makes his pledge of suicide if he ever breaks his pledge. Is this development more important for combining the bloodline trait and nen into becoming a Specialist?

  3. If a Kurta member is born a Specialist will this person be born with Scarlet Eyes? And they'll have to do the opposite of the other members, they got to figure out how to turn off their Scarlet Eyes. Or if they are still born with brown eyes, once their eyes turn Scarlet what type of power does the Kurta member manifest? Unless of course these Specialist born Kurta members once they activate their Scarlet Eyes it becomes permanent.

  4. Not really a hunter hunter question but for making an OC, what bloodline trait is best associated with this transformation to Specialist? Besides the combination of emotions and the change of eye color, of course, unless that's the only depiction that's available in lore.

Anyways, that's it for me today.

Questions about Razor's Dodgeball Spike ability

Preface. (I shouldn't be writing this but just to be safe)

I'm a Transmuter, I'm always confused when it comes to Manipulation and to some extent Emission. Please bare with my questions, I'm here to learn about Nen, since I barely understand Manipulation nor Emission.

End of Preface.

So I'm guessing that Razor either has to touch a dodgeball then Emit his aura to the ball (possible to incorporate manipulation or enhancement) or shape his emitted aura into a ball (emission+transmutation). This is from the 2nd pic and any instance during the Dodgeball game at Greed Island.

My question lies into if Razor Conjured a Dodgeball or a simple ball, during the 1st picture, which doesn't seem that complex if he has been playing Dodgeball since his stay in Greed Island.

  1. What rules will make it a decent boost to his already loaded set of skills? (For the Conjured Dodgeball coated with emission aura with possibilities for manipulation such as changing directions)

My take with Razor's existing emission of a ball then tossing it into the air then spiking is that, as a standalone emission ability without conjuration he has to be able to hit just as hard to send the emitted ball of aura flying where he wants it to go without losing power on the spike, so looking back if the emitted aura also formed a conjured ball then he is able to have contact with the ball with a set of rules to allow it to be tossed and then spiked.

Separate question, and in general for Razor's emission/transmutation or manipulation for the dodgeball throw or spikes

  1. If Razor misses with his existing dodgeball throw (emission ability) does he ever suffer from a penalty? Outside of losing possession in a game of dodgeball, in combat should this user suffer a penalty? Besides being wide open after a miss, should this user be further penalized?

  2. The Emission ball when spiked needs to spin. An emitted aura shaped like a ball, can it by itself spin? This is why I think the 1st pic had to have been a Conjuration of the ball. Otherwise making the emitted ball spin after contact and with applied force might be manipulation, but conceptually as a Transmuter myself I find the concept to be difficult to picture out. Like, how do you make your emitted aura behave like a real object?

And this is why I'm asking to learn if my ideas makes sense or if I'm just struggling to learn Emission and Manipulation.

Anyways I saw a Razor pic from the 1st picture and it got me thinking, I need to rewatch the scene and I'm kinda in the impression that Razor had at least a lvl 4 or any basic Conjuration skill proficiency to create a simple ball or a dodgeball. Then using his ability to make it a powerful Emission ability + incorporations of Manipulation/Enhancement.

Please do teach me where I got things wrong, any corrections are appreciated.

How does Bungee Gum work?

So to preface, I have questions about bungee gum, mixed with my own interpretation of the ability, some ideas that I have if I were to create my own version of it. I only know information up until the Chrollo vs Hisoka fight in Heaven's Arena.

My curiosity lies with how Hisoka doesn't look like he ever gets tired or fatigued when using his ability. So I have this assumption, bungee gum isn't emitted rather it simply stretches, and that the sticky property let's the aura stay solid and unified in it's own way while remaining elastic. Hence this leads me to believe that the ability stays connected to Hisoka even if normally it takes a lot of concentration to focus aura into a single point and then aiming at the target by pointing at them and firing the ability like a projectile, or using contact to directly apply it.

So my questions are:

  1. If I were to recreate bungee gum without leveling it up/making my own nen stronger via killing my desired targets in a fair fight after they've gotten stronger, and letting them know about bungee gum. What conditions would be needed to make bungee gum strong enough to be used against a stronger opponent? The situation would be, If I were to face off Knuckle with Gon's current level during their fight for the selection of fighters to join the CA raid.

  2. Can Bungee Gum be enhanced? Or simply the aura on it's own has to be driven by the user's own willpower to be just as formidable as Hisoka's?

  3. If my own Bungee Gum is to be conjured, will I need manipulation and rules to make it less stressful to manage? Or will it need to be constantly be used with IN so it becomes a confusing ability to decipher.

Separate from my own question but my own interpretation of Hisoka's ability. As a conjured version of the ability, bungee gum can have both the properties of rubber and gum via transmutation, and at the same time it can be applied as a rule based nen construct that functions the same way. The rules being, if I announce how Bungee Gum works, I am allowed to use it as a conjuration nen construct, while using texture surprise to fake it as transmuted aura, and if I'm able to hit the target with this conjured version of the bungee gum ability it becomes harder to remove with nen or by physical means (enhancement). And the trickiest condition is that the target has to believe that bungee gum is a transmuter ability, "the properties of both rubber and gum" is both iconic, explicitly stated and feels like a trick inside of a trick. And the trick is that it has 2 versions, the transmuted version and the conjured version. You won't be able to tell them apart as the conditions will be met and the user looks like they're only using the same ability but at a much more potent and stronger effect when Bungee Gum is announced and the conjured version is used and applied to the target. And you probably won't have time to think on your feet, when the psychotic killer pulls you close, or asks a question to distract you.

I guess I'm only asking the 3 questions as a means to either confirm my interpretation of the ability or to start over from scratch.

Anyways, let me know if I'm on the right track or if I need to learn more about transmutation and by extension conjuration. Hisoka has been a tricky prospect to study and learn from, so I think his own abilities has some form of misdirection. Hisoka having texture surprise feels more of a threat than bungee gum by itself as it multiplies his own creativity and forms of deception while in combat or as an artist in his own twisted way.

I plan to make my own ability to be centered around paper as a Transmuter, so Hisoka's playing cards and Kalluto's ability has been a good reference for me. Anyways, I'm excited to make my own Hatsu lol. My inspiration is Konan and Deidara from Naruto so any advice will be appreciated.

How does Nen Memory work?

  1. How does Nen Memory work? I know about Kastro but what other ways has it influenced the story?

  2. Which nen types are the most susceptible to this concept?

  3. And which types would have the least amount of problems when it comes to just having multiple abilities? without worrying about nen memory or running out of nen memory space.

  4. Does using an ability on multiple targets at once, ever result into a combatant losing steam faster in a hypothetical nen fight?

  5. Is nen memory universal? Or it's an old/outdated rule that simply puts the expectations on abilities to be min-maxed?
