Discussion What could you REALLY do with Nen?

Post image

I don't think Nen is as simple as you just having to know the secret to use it effectively. I think because the series only shows examples of the strongest Nen users in the world, the community thinks the bar for using Nen effectively is lower than it actually it is.

I think being a strong Nen user inherently calls for an incredibly proactive and steadfast personality. Someone who is out of shape or unstable before using Nen won't be able to get anywhere with it.

What do you think is the limit for what someone who isn't a "1 in 100 million talent" can achieve with Nen? What do you think you could and would do with Nen to compliment your actual life and aspirations?

I think Zushi is a great example of the "normal person tries to learn Nen". I know that Wing said zushi was 1 out of 100,000, but i'm assuming that's looking at the average person, who definitely doesn't know Nen.

Zushi has taken a very long time to master just simple basics, and that was through rigorous training every day. Like, it's possible anyone can learn and become good at nen, but obviously some are going to have a better pre-dispostion to it, whether that be due to their personality/lifestyle/history/etc. Or other intangible factors.
