Hi JxJ, I don't know if you are going to see this since I'm 1 month late, but I want to explain a little about the vocabularies used with Nen. My first language is Chinese and I know basic Japanese, so I want to add my two cents, hopefully it'll help with the vocab understanding. In Japanese, Kanji (the complicated square shaped letters) are derived from Chinese, or technically ancient Chinese. It's kind of similar to French or Italian words used in English, like deja vu, replica, graffiti etc. Since Japan used to use ancient Chinese as one of their writing systems, especially in scripts and documents, some Chinese words merged into the Japanese language and formed Kanji (Chinese characters). Nowadays, Kanji and Chinese can have different meanings or different nuances, so a Chinese person reading kanji can usually get the context or the gist, but can often assume the wrong conclusion. For example, the Kanji for chicken meat is the Chinese word for bird. Kanji is used sparsely as extra vocabulary in Japanese, so each concept is presented with only one word (nen, ren, zetsu...), written ancient Chinese also tend to work like that, 1 word holds more meaning, sentences used to be shorter. When words sound similar, like nen & ren, or Ging & Wing, that doesn't necessarily mean that the meaning is similar, when Chinese words have related meaning, it usually works more like nen, nen, nen and nen (ie. 正 証 佂 政 are all pronounced as zheng), since our writing system works differently (eg. 人 means people/person, 口 means mouth, a person in a 'mouth' is 囚, meaning imprisoned). We also have tones in our speaking language, English doesn't have that differentiation in pronunciation. You can look it up more if you are interested. p.s. Nen as a concept is not new in Chinese culture, same with your life energy flowing out of your pores: it is how martial arts, or kungfu was documented. Obviously the actually training methods were lost to time. The other ren and hatsu words are just ordinary words, not related to martial arts necessarily (eg. In means to hide/invisible, Gyo means to stare/focus, Ren means to practice/condense)

2024-08-13 10:55:09 +0000 UTCKillua has easily become my favourite character in hxh!! I just love how badass he is and how much loyal he is to his friends.. He actually did very well controlling himself with those 3 guys in the beginning but they underestimated our boy. I don't think Killua will ever harm Gon (as his father believes he might) I just can't see it happening and I hope I'm right. He'd rather harm himself before even thinking of hurting Gon. And "Nen" has to be one of the most intriguing concepts I've seen in anime 😳 I swear these Mangakas minds are on a whole different level than normal people

2024-08-13 01:11:08 +0000 UTCHi Jared and Jordan! Hope you're doing well!! About Hisoka's past, in the original anime it is not written how or where he managed to master Nen. But in 2016, author Sui Ishida (writer of another famous manga called Tokyo Ghoul) , in a kind of tribute, wrote a short story called Hisoka's Past. I won't tell you exactly what happens in case you or anyone else wants to read it, but this story shows who trained Hisoka, just as Wing trained Gon. The story may or may not be considered canon, but the author of HxH acknowledged and enjoyed Ishida's work!! :D
