User blog comment:FinalFlash18/Kite's Power Level/@comment-23822532-20140617191241

1. According to Togashi's abilities chart, Kite is above Knuckle and Shoot, so it's relatively close to Morel's level. And yes, Kite was already strong, since he couldn't even use Nen and was able to fight off (presumably) many Chimera Ants, as well as Knuckle and Shoot. Take into account he can use En in a wide range of 45 meters while moving for a really extended time, this means he's pretty skilled in Aura usage.

2. Chrollo, Feitan, Shalnark, and presumably Uvogin and Bonolenov would put quite the fight against Kite, Feitan and Shalnark have high chances to defeat him, whereas Uvogin and Bonolenov would be on a relatively same level (taking into account their ways and tactics to fight besides raw power and Aura amount), Chrollo would completely obliterate him. The rest of them are below and or way below Kite's level.

3.  I don't know in what Togashi based his concept for the weapons, the only thing we know is that the Scythe is called Silent Waltz, or Grim Reaper's Dance, so probably mystery books? But we might just know some names, not the actual weapon, so it's kinda hard.

4. He would have stand a chance (although minimal) against Pitou if Gon and Killua weren't there, it was because of them that he got distracted, since his arm was cut off while he wasn't looking. The difference between one limb or two is really important, you lose your normal balance, and it takes time to adjust yourself to a body in which you can't move a part you usually did, when you try to move, you feel like moving but physically, you're not moving at all, by the way we should remember Kite might have been bleeding, so he had to use some Nen to cover the wound. Also, I do disagree with Jaadowgg, the Mace is more useful if you have two hands, since you can move more dinamically, and you have more strenght to resist any blow, also you can do two things at the same time.

5. If he could choose, the weapon would be weaker, if, by chance, he gets a weapon which happens to be useful, then the chances are higher.

6. Against Youpi, the outcome would have been similar to what happened with Shoot, he doesn't have the physical endurance (or at least, so it seems) to hold on much longer than Shoot, and he survived a lot, too. Also, Pouf would seem way easier, it would be a mind fight, so Kite may have the upper hand on this one.

7. Already said it. Yeah, you can increase whatever Nen Ability you have if you put a lot of conditions (like Neon's or Chrollo's Ability), or just a few conditions that are incredibly risky (like Kurapika's Chains).

8. It is likely.

9. Specialist is basically anything that doesn't fit correctly in any other Nen Types, so he can still use Crazy Slots, but maybe they can be even more powerful.

10. Strangely enough. Kite, along with Ging, are my favorite characters, but I still like his death (and I also like Pitou). It's weird, but to me, if a character is good, and it will eventually die, their death better be good, and Kite's (also Pitou's) death was, also, the outcome (Gon's development) was amazing. If you haven't read the manga or watched the 99 anime it might look kind of exaggerated, but it actually isn't.
