TOP 15 STRONGEST Nen Abilities EXPLAINED! 

Honestly, the restriction for Mereum ability being "you have to eat the person who's ability you want" is an incredible restriction for anyone that isn't a Chimera Ant, or a cannibal, I mean, 99% of humanity just wouldn't be able to manifest that or act on it if they did, Mereum just happens to like eating people😭

Wait, so bungee gum has the properties of both Rubber AND Gum? You would think Hisoka would’ve mentioned that at some point.

One of the upsides of the HxH author having to take so many breaks, is that they have plenty of time to work all the kinks out of the Nen power system before ever setting pen to paper, leading to this beautiful complex monstrosity that still holds together incredibly well.

24:36 In a extra page of a manga volume Togashi reveals that Nanika is from the Dark Continent and that it is one of the calamities Ai, “the co-dependence of desire”. Also in the memo displayed at a recent HxH exhibit, it was revealed that Nanika is a nen user and is a specialist.

in fairness it's hard to tell if it was the technique or Zeno and Netero's aura that alerted Pitoh and made them think there was a threat

Our commander-"The lack of plot holes" Killua- "hold my grandfather's technique"

Know what I just realized? All of the original spider troupes nen abilities are extremely specific in one way or another. To such a degree, that it mimics Chrollo's planning skills against Hisoka. So it makes me theorize, what if when they first learned nen as kids. Chrollo first learned and then directed the others to specifically develop theirs, in order to make a crazy detailed plan to go after the people that off'd their friend.

In the many things that are great about nen, is Togashi's attention to the details that make the abilities more believable. True that we are in a fantasy world with "magic" like all other shonen and suspension of belief is certainly required and expected, but we are also in a world where humans live and basic things still apply. That Togashi thought about things like ensuring a technique protected a user from both the heat and the lack of oxygen during massive fire release is levels of detail we normally don't get. That Togashi thought about developing the tragedy of Killua's past tortures to explain how he can withstand high voltages without becoming incapacitated (a fact that doesn't even escape other in-story characters) is another of many examples. Most of the time we are given no explanation as to why a character is either 100% immune or nearly so to their own abilities which can annihilate anyone else.

Yesssss more hxh. Can’t get enough of your content man. You are undoubtably the number one anime RU-vidr. You put in the work and you end up like NC hammer

10:54 small correction, this was explained in the anime and manga as well. Reflex from pain doesn't go to the brain, practically all limbic reflexes only go theough the spinal cord. Godspeed pre-programs basically any threat to be responded to as a reflex-worthy stimulus and detects those stimuli through his aura first and not his skin.

20:43 In a recent memo by Togashi Zeno and Silva were both revealed to be Emitters

Adult gon being as strong as muruem is debatable depending on what translation you read it might be that he is strong enough to actually hurt meruem.

I believe that Killua stated that Nanika only has no rules when the wish is about helping or healing someone, if Killua were to ask Nanika to annihilate Meruem in an instant there might actually be rules

I really hope we soon get to see ging’s nen ability. He’s been hyped up for decades

I don’t think mereum’s nen synthesis makes the ability he takes better. I think he was just so goated that he used poof’s ability to its max potential. Like poof had been alive a couple months? He definitely wasn’t using his ability to it’s peak potential yet

Great Haiku should be up there. The ability to do anything as long as you can write in a Haiku, could potentially be as powerful as Nanika.

There are many theories that gon only lost all his nen progress, and that his auro nodes closed again. So there still is a chance that we could see him return with nen, but if this were the case I think he would open his aura nodes properly this time, not force them open like he wing did to him and killua

Love the video and keep up the great work nick

I love how you speak about fictional matters with such passion. Love to see you make videos about my favourite manga and anime of all time : Death Note

thank you for taking the time to assess bungee gum! as we all know it the most complex and intricate hatsu hxh has to offer. tho it is understandable that it wouldn't land on the number 1 spot. awesome video as always!

26:57 so basically what you're saying is King Crimson's ability is to remove the consequence of any action which will happen to the user in the next 10 seconds while still allowing the actions to occur, and when combined with its secondary ability, Epitaph, which allows the user to see 10 seconds into the future it allows the user to always ensure any event which could possibly be disadvantageous to the user always be in their favor?

Love this list! One of the strongest aspects of HXH is indeed how personalized each character feels, almost like customizable features and function allowing readers to pick endless tropes with which to relate. This list is cutely conveyed -- cherry on top

i love your videos man and i love how they decided to continue the manga. As ive only seen the anime i gotta read the manga as well thanks for makeing this videos :)

2:50 Body morphing is unique Transmutation

It's a crime to not have deep purple on this list. It is debatably the most versatile ability in the series.

Your HxH content is next level 🔥

I love these HxH videos this was amazing!!!

Before anyone starts going nuts. I haven’t kept up in a long time, so I’m just going strictly by the information in this video. There is only one thing I question, and it all depends on the level of the 4th prince. If he hasn’t trained or isn’t a strong nen user. Arguably all it would take is an attack with a wide range that he couldn’t escape within 10 seconds. When Feitan uses his ability whoever is aware of its strength immediately runs. I doubt someone who isn’t fast or has knowledge of it could not get away in 10 seconds. Or even Killua moving at high speed, even if you saw the future, doesn’t mean you have the capability of dodging something so fast. I’m sure there’s plenty more. But it’s just a thought.

Very good video... Knov's nen ability is also busted and scary in combat. Swiping someones head into a pocket dimension is crazy.

I love HxH and Your Videos !!

Your presentation & delivery is so captivating that i didnt even notice it was 37 mins long lolll

Kurapika chain ability actually can be broken. He not only conjure chain specially for the spider but also theoretically he can create special chain for other group (ex. Zodiac, Zoldyck or for individually for Gin).

Love the new channel. Idk what everyone wants but I mainly watch dubs. Yes ik subs are better and more accurate but there are still good ones. I loved mobile fighter g Gundam and others. Are the old ones in your wheel house? I'd enjoy some universe's explained by ya. Anyways keep doing what ya love dude

Love your content man. I think it would be a cool idea to do a dbz all forms explained? Manga envolved?

I don't know if I like Killua's rank. If we are talking about the abilities themselves, I think we should apply them to a constant user. If Killua's Godspeed/Whirlwind was used by one person, and that same person used Big Bang Impact or Terpsichora, Godspeed/whirlwind would likely be a much more potent ability. This probably applies to some other abilities here. Otherwise I agree wholeheartedly with the list

I hope you talk about the stuff happening in the manga!!! Love it! What would your nen class be??

I love hxh vids, definitely some of the best on the channel. Well done!

I love the way you said incredibly 😂 9:18

HXH is my favorite content over all too. I love the suspense, and grey area's of it. Just a great story!

I like the video in the first five seconds because we're talking about one of my most favorite animes that I know this RU-vidr is also passionate about so it's automatically going to be great!!💯💯💯👍🏾🔥💪🏾💪🏾

This dude is really smart...I'm always learning something in his vids

I don’t know if you do what if’s on this channel, but a what if Gon and Killua joined the phantom group would be really cool

Hey, Nick, could you do a video on the anime Zachbell? A comprehensive video of the power system and techniques would be very helpful. Please and thank you.

So fire love the videos

I feel like Kite has the most underrated ability ever

Yes agree! Fantastic Summary! its so diverse, you have no idea who's gonna win like in poker game. Love the surprise and unpredictability, the rules, the variety, haah, love it! My top 1 is HxH, top 2 Ghostfighter top 3 Dragon Ball Z

Pitou was stated to be a specialist in hxh

I’m pretty sure it was confirmed Pito was a specialist with the water technique

its awesome how nen can be applied to our world as well, meditation is literally Ten, when doing manifestation rituals you're using Ren (to set the intention) and Hatsu (to project your intention into the universe). transmutation can be attributed to stuff like cooking (the famous "cooking with love" saying) while enhancement can be seen in bodybuilding and fitness. manipulation is more abstract but it can be seen in well manipulation of a person (although only mental due to the 3d limitations of our world), conjurers and emitters are the hardest to grasp since the things they do are kind of impossible in our world...specialists you ask? easy, tarot reading (or any divination and psychic reading).

Tha k you for saying the things you said about HxH. ❤ 😅

Nick, you said Zeno was our 2nd Zoldyk on the list, but Illumi and Killua were already on the list, and it’s still possible the Feitan theory comes true making Zeno the 4th on the list :)

Morels deep purple is so underrated second most versatile behind bungee gum

I totally agree on your number one 😊

Top tier content as always, love this stuff 🙏

I love how the fourth prince’s ability is literally King Crimson. This, in combination with the nen beasts, makes me think Togashi has been reading a lot of Jojo. Lol

8:08 he did it! He said the thing!

I see that beserk book what you working on 👀👀🔥

26:50 this just sounds like a less complicated version of king crimson lol

I'm anime only. But you my man have convinced me to start on manga as of yesterday

PLEASE COVER TORIKO. The power system will blow your mind

You have emperor time backwards the scarlet and yes are just a thing he can do. It is one of the requirements for using emperor time. Emperor time is specifically the specialist ability of being a perfect generalist

My guy, I think I’ve never seen you upload a collab video before. Would be nice if you’d collab with Zhoniin or with new world review or smthng

If Nanika is indeed and I from the dark continent. That place has to be WILD as hell in terms of how strong you gotta be. This also put into perspective how incredibly powerful Don Freecs is.

Mad underated

Super show!

great vid

Pain Packer is primarily transmutation. He transmutes pain in power, in the case of Rising Sun that power is in the form of heat. There is a conjuration element in that he conjures a suit to protect himself from his own ability but that is secondary. You noted the restriction of having to take damage in order to use the ability as a downside, and it is, but as we know in nen restrictions increase abilities exponentially, the ability is so powerful because of its restriction.

Love the HxH content

Second Prince Camilla and Fourth Prince Tserridenich's abilities are probably two of the most OP in the series so far and that's not even counting their nen beasts

“Theres a little girl that’s stronger than all of them, combined” Me:”Komugi!!!!!! oh”

Surprised halkenberg, Benjamin & camilla aren’t on the list! Camilla is pretty situational & halkenberg & Benjamin require set up but halkenberg has basically limitless AP and Benjamin is like chrollo lite

Finally a new video

I am surprised you didn’t add kite his ability. Fire video tho

That biotech background really showing in all your videos bro. As a biotech worker myself real recognize real

It would be a really interesting dynamic and character arc if Killua is possessive over Nanika as Illumi is to him. I would love to see how he grapples with that.

Top tier content!

HELLO! I JUST WANTED TO SAY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You made me happy and you helped me get through my cancer thank you! You are my favourite youtuber! I hope you have a great new year🎉 ITS MY BIRTHDAY! And i would love it if you replied to my comment! Thank you your videos have helped me get through bullying aswell! Have a great year! Bye...

Does this guy have a video or series or videos explaining all the abilities?

Bro you should do one punch man content...... love your work

All hail the Deity of Anime Lore and information 🙌🏻

I like this channels content

i can agree that bandit secret at number 4 but i think that it can be more dangerous then most people give it for because if your ability is stolen you can use it and you cant get it back unless chrollo gives it back

We've seen so many abilities with so many variations and yet have no idea what of the kind of ability Jing(possible MC for Dark continent) possesses. Dude is a genius who can, after seeing/being hit just once can simulate said ability not only exactly but also the advanced form which even the user of said ability ahs yet to reach and this isn't due to Nen. It's just like Jing said, 'a sort of talent'.

8:08 OMG HE SAID THE THING 😱

You misunderstood something Specialization not necessary have 100% guaranteed on the other categorires, that's the specialization power of Kurapika only, his specialization power makes him being able to have 100% on every category. Specialists are kinda vague on nen hexagram because each case is one case.

Did this man just say Hunter Hunter is great because its "lack of plotholes"?

U should create a fan manga page where we create a manga in the comment section or live stream on a certain day. We could start by making a power system and cast of main characters in which you narrate it. We just need a few artist. it would be a great #community project 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

100 Type Guanyin Boddhisattva is among the strongest abilities shown. Even without the insane speed which Netero has, even at a speed of a normal person, the ability is extremely powerfull.

i would put Knov's scream very high up as its kinda a oneshot if hit

Pain packer induced post mortem nen got me shiverin

Should do something on castlevainia

Can you make a video about "can the phantom troupe survive the dark continental?" Both as an individual and as a full team

So what your saying is that parallel future is a lot like king crimson and epitaph?

Can you do the the 7Deadly Sins next?

13:40, this is actually just a translation error, what pito said was "his fangs may even sink into the king" not equal in power

This was fucking sick im mad i didnt find this video+acct sooner

Belzubulb is an actual demon as well,.

Do some solo leveling content if that’s something u think u would enjoy

Imagine if Meruem got to absorb Pitou and gained her abilities 😮

The way I see it, there are two properties of the Nen system that give it its nigh limitless flexibility: 1) The "contract with conditions" are determined by the values of the person creating the ability, meaning that, while the tradeoff may seem to be objectively overpowered or underpowered, or that there may be similar abilities whose strength differs widely, from the perspective of the nen user designing them, they work out to be "fair". Thus, the ability to inherit other people's abilities becomes a fascinating game of trying to master someone else's creation better than they could, which while wildly unlikely, isn't inconceivable (especially if their biases led them to use their own ability in inefficient ways or gave it stipulations that wouldn't be as costly for other people utilizing the same ability) 2) The nen affinity diagram demonstrates two dualities which naturally converge, those being the axis of the relationship between the nen itself and the world it interacts with, and the level of complexity of that interaction with the world. For example, the reason manipulation and transmutation are on opposite sides of the diagram is because one determines how nen controls and changes the physical world and beings in it, while the other is characterized by the nen itself being changed to take on properties observed in the world. Enhancers and Specialists represent the convergence of these two, but the reason these categories are uniquely asymmetrical has to do with the complexity of the conditions required to achieve them. When the world and the energy in it are in sync, the absolute simplicity of their interaction (nen to the world: "do what you're already doing, but more") lends itself to unfettered flexibility, which is itself a strength and makes it the most accessible nen category. Specialization, on the other hand, is so precise and intricate in its function that there are abilities which are entirely inaccessible even to the neighboring nen categories. Specialization also represents a superposition in which nen alters the world and the world alters nen simultaneously; rather than the two operating in perfect synchronicity, they are woven into delicate imbalance and exaggerated by strong contracts in a way that seems almost alien. I believe the most powerful nen from the dark continent exemplifies the conceptual extremes of specialization, and so it's natural that it incurs corresponding otherworldly costs.
