Hi Alex, you can call me Eivson.

Thank you, I’m enjoying these discussions.

Well, I’m not questioning how fast the explosion occurs. In my point of view the problems lies in how your hatsu is triggered. Till now I understand as it just requires your nen gets in contact with your target. You can make it by physical contact or extending your nen. You see, this hatsu is OP in the sense that it gaining too much (Make someone explode) for a way to little (make nen get in contact to target); there’s not restrinction in its trigger like time charge or touch with right hand or explaning hatsu before use it. That’s what to be OP means to me. Your second paragraph tries to show off some weakness that makes it balanced.

Having weakness don’t make it necessarily balanced. that argument about people having previously knowledge as a weakness isn’t good at all, I don’t know why people keep using it. What I mean is this is a “weakness” that all hatsu has since if someone knows your ability beforehand he’s gonna have advantage over you (in most cases). Also you talked about the target keeping away from you just to stay safe, which means your ability has short/medium range. Again that’s an inherent condition of being a Enhancer. You also mentioned that emitter would have advantage over you. Again, it’s inherent from nen system. Emitter Always gonna have advantage if keeping away from any other class, not just against you. Togashi made the nen system to make sure that any ability always gonna have weakness/drawbacks.

Just to make it clear, let’s take Genthru ability as an example: his ability is a short ranged like yours but is not the fact that beforehand knowledge or emitter would get advantage over it that makes it well-balanced; it’s its restrictions. Also if your “weakness” could really count Genthru restrictions are totally unecessery, since all your “weakness” can be applied to him too.

The only argument you gave that I considered pertinent is that you need large amount of nen and it take time to charge. So I suggest you to work on it but that’s just my opinion. Just to reterate it, Alluka is actually the perfect example of a hatsu that is OP, a priore, though its drawbacks makes it well-balanced. For sure you all know that it grants almost anything if not everything but the bigger the wish the worst the pestering would be and the more people would die if you fail, plus is an ability that she can't use herself, it would always be others who get the benefits and troubles of the ability. As you can see none of its drawbacks are inherent from nen system, but actually they’re “consequences” of getting such na OP ability. You can also notice that controling people requires certain codintions as drawback, diferente of controlling smoke, for example.
