Hunter x Hunter Chapter 347 Discussion

now we dont don't have Gon but we have Ging that can do everything?



even Pariston was amazed by how Ging could copy Leorio and extend the ability! amazing!

Found this comment on Mangahere:



"I think mimicking people's ability isn't Ging's real ability. He's perhaps a genius who can identify and understand the process of simple abilities (like Leorio's) and use it (only simple abilites though). His real Nen ability is yet to be shown"



Has some interesting points there

Great chapter, finally get to see Ging fight. Remember how Ging could remotely erase a cassette tape from far away which is an emission ability? Now he can mimic Leorio's emission punch after taking a hit, and even develop the ultrasound technique instantaneously while visualizing Leorio's nen and personality. Many people had speculated that Ging was emission type akin to Yuusuke due to his personality. Ging was probably demonstrating a slingshot ability for fun with Gon at the top of the world tree. http://i.imgur.com/NwO8tEu.jpg



Ging probably is an expert of reading nen akin to Shaiapouf's spiritual message. He could tell who was the strongest among Beyond's team and understood that Mecha personality.

He's also been shown to be very adept at transmutation nen far more advanced than biscuit's 0-9 number training. Also during the election arc some may have noticed that there were a Ging double among the crowds, suggesting a materialization ability. When Hisoka was talking to Ilumi in the bar, Ging could be seen nearby too.



At this point it's impossible to determine Ging's nen type. Which is so goddamn exciting.

Pariston is most likely manipulation type though. http://i5.minus.com/iRDzFLVf1zaHX.png

Looking forward to the next chapter!!

Wooow! It's so cool seeing Ging demonstrate Leorio's hatsu. (It's nice to know Leorio found a medical application with his emitter type nen.)



Ging was a cool character before... but I still used to think of him as a dick-wad. He was so mysterious and manipulative, I wondered what the man's real motivations were. Now, I can feel his sincerity. He genuinely enjoys new things, experiences and challenges. Ah, seriously, Ging is an awesome character.

Ging can copy the abilities of others

That's putting it a bit too plainly. He's basically so good that he can learn any physical nen move. Wing said that this was possible.

Some people are confused. Ging's power isn't to copy abilities. He said simple attacks like a "strike attack" are easy to copy. It's not like he could use Netetero's 100 Hand Buddah or Kurapika's Chains. He might be a specialist though, definitely doesn't come off as an enhancer.

It's pretty obvious that real pledge to Ging's nen ability (or at least one of his attacks) is that the people actually take his money. I mean, he IS known as a gambler and influenced Kite to get a gambling-based Nen ability as well...

Or actually, he might not gamble on getting people to accept his money, but putting their trust in him via the act of accepting money and/or believing his story about why he made that proposal in the first place. If that was true it would make for a far more devilish ability than I initially imagined - that would be one of the biggest pledges we have seen so far and it requires an incredible amount of planning and thought put into it.

His copying ability is somewhat balanced as well, as he has to take the hit first and the pwoer is limited to attacks that deal physical damage.



So far he lives up to the hype and has proven himself to be a fearsome enemy. I doubt we haven't even seen 1% of his real talent, though. I like that about this series:

Here status not only implies tactical, logical and political capacities as well..it follows through with it. Unlike a certain series about a ninja with whiskers, for example...

Just barely caught up! Though I'm definitely pleased to see that the fan translations have improved since the travesties that were chapters 341 and 342, I'm for sure going to subscribe to Weekly Shonen Jump from now on (not to mention purchase the backlog chapters).



I'll save any real thoughts for once I've read them, but to just quickly comment, I'm really enjoying the new arc so far: especially the return of Kurapika and Leorio, who were my favorites way back in the time before Greed Island and Chimera Ant (each are now my 2nd and 1st favorite arcs, respectively). Perhaps the two of them can dethrone Killua and reclaim their crown; they're certainly on the right track.



Also, Ging, way to live up to your hype dude. Can't wait to see his hatsu, can't wait to see the Dark Continent, can't wait to see where this is all heading! Mega excited.
