By the way

So cool! I really need to rethink how I see Nen. Ikarugo as Enhancer? Meruem as Emitter and Youpi as Transmuter?

We need translations for this...

Looks like some users I was right about (like Zeno, Silva and Hanzo), others I got way off lol (like Ikalgo or Nov)...this stuff is so exciting!

 

[Uriel]

Woooooow, it's an amazing image.

I don't know about translations, but I like to see these middle points. I assume then it's a range rather than a fixed value.

I find it funny that Alluka is sorted out among the nen users in that picture, and she is a specialist. Do you think this refers to some unknown nen ability she has, or to her wish granting?

I haven't noticed that!

I always thought Nanika is a Dark Continent thing and for some reason, I did not tie it directly with Nen.
For me, it could be that it's either Nanika as wish-granting or the ability to host such a being.

 

[shionoro]

@Uriel @Demonspeed It could also be that Nanika is a separate entity that baptized alluka who is a specialist.
I don't think Alluka's ability is hers alone, i am not even sure whether it is a Nen ability at all.

She is part of the Ai calamity.

I never thought it wasn't Nen related. It was explained like one.

 

[Tavore]

You know what be Scary if Morena or The 4th prince bonded with a Ai calamity.

From the catalog at the exhibition:

Do you know the meaning of the red dots? I don't want to say what I think because I think I'm wrong.

??? What do you mean? You can't post them?

It's just that the links with the translation of the comments that is on twitter was not incorporating here when trying to post earlier.
Sometimes I get really tangled up when writing.

A translation in Reddit.

I'm sorry, Maruem as an Emitter when his power was specifically to eat brain matter and gain nen powers from the prey is simply ridiculous. That makes zero sense to me whatsoever. The otehrs, like Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, are interesting and I actually assumed it was Conjuration due to how it worked a lot like the exorcists nen beast. But that is beside the point. It seems utterly bizarre Maruem is like he is.

Of course, you can become a Specialist. Machi is a specialist, but her original category was Transmutation. That seems to be what I'm seeing from this. I guess Maruem was always naturally Emission but his power as Ant king was to absorb new powers and so he is kind of a specialist / Emitter. Which would explain the absurd power boost in the abilities he absorbed, maybe. Since they were all emission based. (The explosive beam attack and Spiritual Message were technically ranged).

Machi is Transmuter with a strong affinity towards Enhancement. She isn't a Specialist.

I need to think a bit more about all of this but Meruem is only in the Emitter category here. Unlike Pitou and other Specialists.

It could easily have been a trait of a Chimera Ant king.

It's also "Meruem". Although seeing the English "Meeleem" in a pic from the exhibition gave me a good laugh.

 

[lulukaruins]

When skimmed through tweets from people who went to exhibition I noticed that Togashi using Naoko Takeuchi paper for Meruem last moments chapter. Is he out of paper at that time. lol.

 

[Uriel]

I think the only perplexing stuff here is Meruem being an emitter.

Maybe because of the monstrous amount of aura? I can only think in that regard, as like Admiral Teach it makes little sense to me. Although Aura Synthesis specifies mostly increasing aura size, so maybe it's a proper emitter ability and you can "steal abilities" from every Hatsu type in different approaches.

I wonder if Emission has divisions like Manipulation for controlling techniques.

 

[Demonspeed]

Personally I am more perplexed by Youpi's case because of my views on Shapeshifiting + that blur between Nen Ability and racial traits.

I find it funny how as an Emitter Meruem lacked a ranged attack initially, because if he had one he would have defeated Netero in no time.

The Aura Synthesis I saw it as Enhancement personally(saw it as Specialization before because I was a simpleton and also just ate stuff on wikis etc). In the end he just grew stronger by eating people. It's worth noting that he only got Pouf and Youpi's abilities even though he must have eaten the flesh of many other Nen Users.

His final ability fits Emission very well. Huge range with his En, can teleport to the places within its range, scatter the Nen particles to gather data etc.

There should be subdivisions for every Nen Category. Tyson's Nen Beast was said to be a Diffusive Levy Type Emitter but maybe it's not specific to Emission like Counter Type.
