User blog comment:Onionstar/Gon's Nen Ability/@comment-5314364-20130731184911

What OP said and because it's a starter weapon. That's like saying "Why doesn't Kurapika use his Tonfas or Leorio's knife."They are at that point where it'd be kinda ridiculous now to use them in combat considering how strong their nen abilities are. Just imagine Gon-san using a fishing rod in  battle.....yeah. If he used that idea earlier then I'd be for it but ever since he transformed I can't even imagine it.
