User blog:Kevo411/HxH Questions 2

Hey, it's been a while since I did this last, so I figured I'd give it another go.

1- As the Royal Guards, shouldn't Pouf and Youpi respect the King's decision to allow Komugi to live? If their sole purpose in life is to do whatever the King wants them to, why would they try to keep Komugi a secret? I understand that they think he is becoming compassionate because of her, but why would that be a bad thing?

2- If Hisoka could use Nen even during the Hunter Exam, why couldn't he notice Gon in the bushes? I'm aware that Gon naturally figured out how to use hatsu, but If Hisoka could notice Kalluto during the Greed Island arc, even though she is an expert in hatsu, then sensing Gon should've been a piece of cake.

3- I don't really understand the difference between conjuration and transmutation. For example, why isn't Hisoka's Bungee Gum a conjuration ability? Doesn't he just conjure a stretchy, rubbery substance to attach to his hands? Or does he transmute his aura into said substance? How do you tell the difference, because they seem pretty similar to me.

4- How could people in their regular lives not know about Nen? I mean, there must be criminals who use it to rob banks and such, so I'd imagine people must question how they're using it. To say that even Hanzo, Killua, or Kurapika hadn't heard of it until after the exam seems odd. I mean, Kurapika must have researched the spiders and realized they have superhuman abilities, Killua grew up in a house with a bunch of Nen users for his whole life, and Hanzo just seems like the kind of guy who would've found out about it somehow. I realize it would no longer be a dramatic reveal, but still. A major flaw in the writing kind of irks me.

I'm sure I thought of more, but whenever I sit down to write these, I always draw a blank. Oh well. It'd still be interesting to hear your thoughts on the subjects.
