Roshi was hiding in a submarine lol, clearly he'd have been smoked if he stayed visible. I'd say killing Popo would be something they'd get around to eventually, since the population was already only in the 10s of thousands meaning they'd killed billions of people. They'd have to have gotten...
Why would it? His native running abilities would just increase. Back in the 22nd and 23rd Budokais just running was faster than flying considering that the most they could do back then was float and boost themselves relatively slowly in the air.
Logically if Killua can't damage his leg despite being able to cut Hunter examinees to pieces with his bare hands the shoe couldn't have hurt that much in a serious scene.
They are supposed to be equals in speed and power but have attributes they displayed throughout the series arcs they're featured in. Not sure what is confusing
That's probably a gag similar to Chi-Chi cutting Roshi's skull up with her helmet blade. Remember that Netero is a Roshi reference in various ways, just like Gon is a Goku reference.
We don't exactly have much to judge Goten's stamina off of though. His only real battle was against Trunks, the rest of his battles were either sparring matches or in a fused state.
That being said Goten's stamina may not be that bad actually, since Trunks held him in that full nelson so long...
Nen still protects your body at all times after you've unlocked your nodes. Otherwise the Phantom Troupe members would be getting killed from random mafia enemy bullets that graze their arteries or some shit.
My beef is that Hisoka simply saying in the Heavens Arena that he used Zetsu whenever he fought them in the Hunter Exams, implying Illumi did the same when he got his arm broken by an injured Gon, would make much more sense than the actual stuff we got :ladd
It's quite similar to how a lot of...
Oh yeah he was on the verge of becoming one rather than being one already when Hisoka killed him. Still, the fact that a noob like that karate kid Wing was training knows his proper Nen affinity and application despite not having a Hatsu yet shows his inefficient ability was poor writing to...
Yeah Togashi clearly came up with the more advanced mechanics like Ken and Ko later than that fight, plus a professional Nen using Floor Master like Kastro using a Hatsu that is so obviously in conflict with his actual Nen affinity is pure garbage when considering it was shown that Palm's Nen...
It still looks stupid when retroactively applying Nen to pretty much any of the first 2-3 volumes' events. Hisoka got scratched up just from being whacked with Gon's fish bait in the 2nd volume, which is utterly impossible for any skilled Nen user. He also wouldn't be using Zetsu in the middle...
Illumi literally hid in a hole to avoid losing the badges. He wasn't portrayed to be worlds above the other Hunter wannabes like Hanzo, etc.
Hisoka was also said to be far above Gon but not insanely above him in the Heavens Arena (AFTER Nen was introduced), but that got retconned later seeing...
Everybody else in the exam was fodder that'd get raped by GI arc Killua, their feats are actually lackluster compared to the hype they get from Heaven's Arena and onwards, even though they'd have no reason to walk around in Zetsu all the time.
Its application is retroactively shoehorned in...
