Hunter x Hunter 2011

[Splash!]

Actually, I think carnage's last point would be right. Pitou activated En right after learning about it and detected Kite. Kite then detected Pitou's En and told the kids to run away.

But Pitou noticed Kite even before she was able to pinpoint his location using En (which is when he became aware of her too). I thought it was possible at the very least to detect the presence of someone else's aura. En just takes it one step further by allowing you pinpoint where that aura is coming from, as well as being able to detect individuals in a zetsu state.

Even without En, it should have been possible for the king and the royal guards to notice that Knov was skulking around unless he was using 'In' or something. This may help explain why he seemed to have been affected more by royal guard nen than Kite or Gon. Remember that using Zetsu makes you extra vulnerable to aura.

EDIT: This also serves as a plausible explanation for why Killua was more affected by Pitou's aura than Gon (rather than Gon's plot armor). Killua is a natural assassin and is probably instinctively using Zetsu to lessen his presence and be more receptive of his surroundings.

What an unlucky bastard Kite was.

[MFauli]

People calling Pitou "him".

People calling Pitou "Neffy".

This thread got a lot more annoying to read ./



PS: if the en-range is really such a marker for power levels, and top notch nen-users can "see" within 50 meters, and we have Pitou who "saw" over a distance of what, more than a kilometer? Then everybody is super-fucked.

[shinta|hikari]

And she scared Kite to death.

Poor bastard.

@Mfauli - What's wrong with calling him/her Neffy? I can go back to Nef if it annoys you. Pitou is weird so I will refrain from using that.

[DarthEnderX]

And she scared Kite to death.

I don't mean that she'd be powerless. Just not as strong as her aura leads people to think she is.

Pitou is the nickname other characters are using though.

The needle in Killua's brain made him witless when facing anybody he judged stronger. That certainly would be the case with a monster like Pitou. It even made him almost lose against a mediocre opponent like Rammot. He was like a different man, well, a boy, after he removed the needle. The fear was gone and he one-shotted the stupid ant. So, Killua can be counted out. I admit maybe Gon as well, at least to a degree, since he was nearly going berserk after what happened to Kaito. But I would be extremely surprised if Gon and Killua couldn't face Pitou when the time comes. Perhaps Knov was made also weaker by being the calculating type. Gon just pushes forward similar to Uvo. In fact Killua is also calculating, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes. But in the end it's a part of an assassin's job to find a way to deal with a stronger opponent. After all, who needs assassins if not for taking out otherwise untouchable targets? Illumi likely figered Killua would be ready for that by the time he manages to remove the needle.

I just think that it is more than a coincidence that the 2 stealth types have freaked out the most. They seemed to have been caught off guard by intensity of their opponent's aura. That is not to say that Killua can't go in again using a more head on approach (he would probably fare better). Knov, on the other hand, seems to have been utterly defeated by that first experience.

In practice we haven't seen Killua's reaction even for the first time, because there's no panic needle inside his head anymore. He's a different person now. That's why I said it will be interesting.

[Buffalobiian]

Gon surely wasn't; he wanted to kick Pitou's ass back to the ant nest. Besides, being scared is okay, scared witless is not.

I think Gon actually was scared. "Anger + fear = fuck this shit, blind charge." Killua thought "fuck this shit, bail" Neither of them were "thinking" in the real sense. Their own gut reactions took over.

[Archangel]

So nobody's gonna mention how Palm totally boned that vice president guy?

[enkoujin]

I actually refuse to believe that it happened and hope that the drugs kicked in after he stripped himself before anything else happened.

That's usually the case.

[DarthEnderX]

I wouldn't be surprised either way.

These people are willing to put their lives on the line to save the world. I'm sure some of them are willing to do the same with their dignity.

[Buffalobiian]

I simply think that given the choice of knocking out a man outright vs sexing him up then knocking him out.. why do the latter (unless you were Bisuke)?

[DarthEnderX]

What if he only drinks his iced tea AFTER? You know, to replenish his fluids.

[Buffalobiian]

Haha, that's awesome.

In that case,

What if he was told to drink the special iced tea BEFORE? You know, to increase his performance.

[MFauli]

new episode is out.

OMG, Im starting to kind of feel sympathetic towards the king :>
King X Komugi pairing please!!!1

[Buffalobiian]

King X Komugi pairing please!!!1

When he asked "What do I want to do with her?", I immediately remembered that the King was to copulate with various species..

@DE: I think the name will be a game-changer, but in regards to the king and his understanding of himself and the world more so than an actual power.

Did anyone watch the preview? Knov's hair?!

[DarthEnderX]

So, the Queen told Colt what the King's name was right?

I wonder if that's going to be important. Like the Chairman will have an awesome power, but it's requirement is knowing the targets name or something,
