Gon Took This TOO Far! (HXH)

what if gone had a different Nfinity seems like a simple change but remember that Al gon is a very simple boy so simple changes are going to have radically character altering effects think of gone as he is a natural enhancer so his immediate thought to that is look I'm going to use my power to punch things punch things like really hard whereas as a transmuter or emitter gone wouldn't be able to fall back on this option then as a contra or a manipulator gone would go down some incredibly different roads especially as a manipulator we'll cover this in a bit but being a natural manipulator is gon's darkest possible outcome and then as a specialist gon's full potential would be Unleashed but before we start there are four very important things to know about gon one is that again gone is a simple boy with simple needs and in terms of nen that makes him much easier to predict than someone like SE kopa who has complex needs and even more complex solutions to said complex needs and this makes sense because realistically gone is an 11 to 12year old boy one of the more realistic portrayals of a child this age in showna manga so his Solutions are going to be limited which is great for us because it limits how Wild speculation in fact gone himself within the series provides a straightforward answer to three out of the five of Al n affinities the second thing to keep in mind is that no matter what Affinity he is gon will always prefer to be a close-range fighter that's just who and what he is so becoming a conjurer isn't all of a sudden going to transform gone into some sort of Trixie high IQ nen player the third thing is his established skill set gone is a hunter in the classic sense of the word he has an affinity for nature and animals and even as a pre-end human he had heightened senses Vision hearing smell and even taste taste trained to the point where he can taste tasteless substances like tonas laxative and weirdly enough he also has some poison resistance implying that he has somehow tuned his body to poisons this is important because nen abilities are built on the foundation of our experience but also they're built on desire and so the final thing to highlight is gon's desire which is simply to find Jing so no matter what the Affinity we are looking for abilities that satisfy these factors and ideally we want something that satisfies all of them so with that let's leap into an alternate world where gone is a transmuter so as a reminder transmuter is giving or the properties of other matter this can be something tangible and solid like hisoka's bungee gum or pure more intangible elements like kila's electricity and this one is super easy we have a very clear idea of what gone would have lent towards if he was a transmuter because the scissors aspect of J junen is pure transmutation gone basically created a sender blade ofor giving it the properties of sharp very sharp so sharp that it cut through the Chimera ants and I think that gone invests heavily into this but also still retains rock as an optional albeit less effective attack he would essentially become a nen swordsman and I think this makes some sense given gon's experience after facing hok's bunge gum gon made believe that blades are the best possible counter to the gum considering that he plans on facing and defeating hisoka in the future and just as rock evolves scissors would also be enhanced over time giving them a greater length greater range greater cut power depending on the aura invested into them and he may even become a dual wielder it's worth noting that the weakness of scissors is currently the gone would need to keep the Ora active whereas with rock you just conjure and punch actually I suppose gone would probably use scissors in a similar way he's not whipping out the blades for an extended clash it's more for a classic nen Samurai one strike Victory Honestly though gone may have had a much easier time in the series as a natural transmuter it probably would have offered better matchups against certain opponents like gen through for example in that case he might not have lost his arm because it gives gone the ability to fight at close range but without putting his body so much on the line and it's also possible that gone may prefer another type of weapon property to transmute AA into perhaps something blunt Pokey or even spiky which I guess is also Pokey but I guess it can also be blunt a ma is like blunt and Pokey doesn't matter to his other neighboring Affinity imiton becomes a very different Beast emission is the practice of separating raw Ora from the user's body and gone does have one attack that uses this rock and scissors both remain heavily in gond but paper is gon's first dive into a mission and I honestly ly don't think that this pool goes too much deeper than that remember simple boy he's going to go for the Pew pews the way I picture gone as a natural emitter is sort of like Razer just without the complex Greed Island mechanics and the 14 Devils which actually makes gone a bit more terrifying because his full force would be going into the key blasts with that said emission is a really bad affinity for gone in particular or at least with how gone would make use of it and to explain why we need to cut to some mats knuckle gave some pretty devastating stats when he stated that even though gon invested 4,000 units of Aura into the attack paper only held 500 units worth of output this is due to the cut that gone takes by using emission in the first place and also the secondary cut that comes with separating Aura from a body because that's an unfortunate reality emission in general is is just a painful Affinity because even natural emitters lose output simply through the practice of separating their Aura from their bodies which is why no natural emitters Deep dive 100% into this Affinity like we see with literally every other Affinity most of the series emitters find themselves splashing in dual affinities or have to set conditions to multiply the emissive powers and even then almost none of them you straight up throw ball n attacks think of characters like Melody who emit Aura through music or even the more recent Lynch F boo who emits Aura to make people tell the truth very specific conditions for very specific outcomes and there are cases of a mission being used for straightforward combat but it really is only CHP tier users like razor or silver zalic who emit these pure bursts of destructive Aura and I will say the one advantage gone does have here is is natural orur a talent he definitely has the output to do this if he wants and as he grows this would only become more and more dangerous but it's a big handicap in the early days much more so than enhancement or transmutation if you were playing Hunter Hunter on Hardcore Mode emission is probably the Affinity you'd want to start with and it's a particularly bad one for gone because it just doesn't operate well on the principle of Simplicity essentially gon is going to have a much harder time in the series than if he was an enhancer or a transmuter he won't progress as quickly as he did and he may may be very ill equipped to handle lots of fights especially towards the Chimera ant end of things but now is where things get very interesting if gone were a natural conjurer then he would have to rethink his entire nen strategy because this takes him far far away from the comfort of enhancement conjuration is of course morphing Aura into tangible objects generally utilized by highly intelligent strategists like kopa or Henry the ladder of whom fights with conjured pigeon objects which is that's pretty fun but conjuration is also used by cheu so the the Affinity isn't exclusive to the sharpest of minds and I think that gone has another very clear path here because no he never ventured into conjuration in the actual series but he is no stranger to objects and so I feel like the obvious answer is that gone is going to conjure a fishing rod and just as a note in the anime gone never took his fishing rod to Greed Island however in the manga he did indeed take it but gave it away to one of the NPCs and that was the last time we saw it so I guess the anime just figured H he's not going to use it so it's just not included but as underwhelming as a conj fishing rod sounds it does satisfy gon's main criteria one being his natural skill set all the way up until Greed Island gone used his Rod as a weapon surprisingly effective as well for example it was only thanks to the fishing rod that gone was able to be gido at Heaven's Arena and it's a tool he's intimately familiar with it gives gone a lot of strategic variance that he sort of lost once he gave the rod away but it also allows him options in simplistic combat there are several cases where gon uses the rod as a basic Club to just thwack people both he and the rod had the power to injure magical beasts and this was before nen so was a very strong Rod so post nen what conron does is what all good Pokémon players do and trade their old rod for a super rod when it comes to conjuration the most difficult part is constructing a mental image detailed enough to bring into existence but again a fishing rod is basically an extension of gon's body he knows it intimately it is the first and by far most useful object that would come to mind heavily enhanced of course much stronger than your average rod and for classic Hunter purposes it might come come with some added utility like making any bait on the end of it more enticing and if gone wanted to get real tricky he could even start coating the line of the rod in E thus making it invisible sort of like how kopa conceals his chains you know I really haven't given gon's intelligence enough credit in this video but this sort of thing is his natural element the fishing rod is a tool of the wild and so it gives gone access to more instinctual options having a conjured Rod at his disposal turns every fight into a hunt that is gon's territory and I would genuinely love to see him as a conjur manipulator gone however I'm not quite so sure I would want to see although I will say that it's a surprisingly solid category for gone especially in the early days because gon has always possessed this intrinsic ability to earn people's trust with great ease and we've seen examples in the series of this being accomplished by others with the use of nen for example Prince Salis Sal nen Beast this was direct manipulation you inhale the smoke and then become infected with favorable thoughts for Mr salali and I feel like gone would be similar not a direct manipulator like an or a Shao more subtle and potentially not even aware of what he's doing himself the ability I have in mind is something I'm going to call Trust seed which is all about slowly winning people over to his side say maybe gone does a favor for the person in question and so as a result that person has an or seed implanted into them which works because gon's neighboring Affinity in this case would be a mission and as time passes the seed grows to the point where this person would do anything for gone thinking about it from a non-mechanical perspective it's kind of like using n to make friends and unlikely to ever reach a point of 100% manipulation as in people doing things completely against their will at the direct command of gone well except for the following scenario Chimera at gon is much darker he reaches a point of Despair where most non- kite based life is completely meaningless to him even his own and as his manipulation ability evolves due to desire he could find himself manipulating people like kilawa for his kite agenda which I imagine as a scenario where kilawa escapes ilam just to be snared by gone this is gon's darkest possible potential as an enhancer transmuter emitter or even conjurer gone really only has himself to deal with he made the decision to sacrifice himself for Revenge but what would he do in a situation where his power is to do with others would he sacrifice them like say Force killer to evolve into an adult killer again gun's path in the series in general would probably be quite rough because manipulation it's just not amazing for his fighting style although it does present the potential of being able to win simply via his opponent liking him and thus not wanting to fight but just like conjuration it takes gone very far away from enhancement however unlike conjuration it still leaves gone weaponless his only real recourse for like power output would be a mission which again not an amazing stter either so manipulation I would say is probably G's worst possible natural Affinity it's the one that allows him to do what he wants to do the least if that makes sense it may not but then we have the wild world that is specialist gone the definition of specialization ation being whatever doesn't fit into the first five categories and maybe even some stuff that does it's the most difficult category of all for us because literally anything is possible as long as the user needs it to be possible K's skill Hunter was generated as a response to his profession as a thief and need for multikill sets and pako's memory reading was developed in response for the need to confirm sasa's Killers you know what neito is a great example actually someone who we can sort of compare with gone the desire to want to fight kite again led to the puppeteering power and Pito is a deeply instinctual life form who operates without too much unnecessarily complex thought like gone the unfortunate thing is that what most Specialists have in common is that their abilities are quite complex na nrad ridik or even ARA wish granting is simple sounding but it comes with a whole ton of nen rules to obey unless you're kilawa and you know weirdly enough from all the examples we have I would see Gone Going Down the more sidik route not with all the crazy future stuff but because sidik is the only specialist whose ability focuses on his environment which is very natural for gone to be doing to perhaps heighten his awareness of everything around him so we'll call this ability hunting grounds and maybe it allows gone to perceive time passing more slowly so that he can take in more of his environment or even something like enhancing his senses perhaps even affecting the environment itself to produce more of what gives gone information whether that's sight smell or sound but all within a special zone so whatever the case hunting grounds gives gone a sick sense of whoever or whatever steps into it like a very specialized n although gone could also use his specialization to develop any of the abilities we've discussed so far would that be a good use of specialization no would it be simple though yes but let me know in the comments what do you think gon's n ability would be if he had a different natural affinity
