Nen Talk #1 Heaven's Arena

So, a few months back I thought writing up something to highlight how Hunter x Hunter uses it's power system less for creating interesting action set pieces and more for fleshing out the stories of characters. I kinda neglected this because of work, but I finally have a more consistent schedule with free time, so I want to start going through it, starting off with the four minor characters we meet at Heaven's Arena.

So, this is an unfortunate batch to start on because Togashi was just getting his feel for Nen as a system, so a lot of these characters feel like they exist for their narrative purpose of teaching Gon and Killua first, with everything being secondary. There are some things that I do like, though. Nen being used to compensate for a disability is very cool, especially with the running theme that Nen is fueled by desire or potentially even greed. If I had my arm blown off by some sadistic loser, yeah my desire to get it back would be pretty strong and probably end up coloring what my Nen would take form as. The problem is just that this is done in a much more interesting way later in the series and two of these three disability compensation abilities do nothing besides that - compensate for a disability. The exception is Gido with his Battle Waltz, Shotgun Blues and Tornado Top. Gido is a nothing character, but the running theme of music with these imply that he was a lover of music before getting wrapped up in the world of Nen, maybe even a dancer to make his current state more tragic. That's the slightest bit of flavor, but I appreciate it. These

Kastro does not have one of these nen abilities based on a disability, but I grouped him with him because there isn't a TON to say about him on his own. Kastro has the ability to create a copy of himself. In my opinion, we can learn a few things from this. The first is that Kastro, while powerful, is incredibly uncreative. After getting humiliated by Hisoka, his only answer for how to beat him was to just have two Kastros. It also shows a lack of faith in his natural talent in enhancement. We see from Gon's later fight with Hisoka that there is a lot that someone with this monster strength can do against Hisoka who mainly fights with tricks. If you have the power to do that, you'd much rather want to do that instead of trying to out-trick Hisoka. The last thing is that while it could be said that he makes a copy of himself, it wouldn't be incorrect to say that he makes a doppelgänger. An alternate form of himself that will always live in the shadows just as he lives in Hisoka's shadow. Or perhaps that's giving this more credit than it's due. Anyways, these goobers are just the preamble for me to begin talking about characters who actually matter like Hisoka.

"There you are ♡"

Totally did not draw Sadaso being all lovey-dovey after writing smut of him. He is so cute!

On the topic of that... particular writing, would you like to see it? I don't think there is much of an audience for it, that is why I mostly sent it to mutuals only.

If not, I hope you still enjoy this art! I should definitely get into shading my art more often...
