Hunter x Hunter is one of the most beloved anime not just in shonen, but of all time. A large part of that is the anime's well-defined power system. The Nen system is how Hunter x Hunter explains some of the special abilities that the protagonists use. More often than not, their abilities are used in combat with someone else, making the fight scenes that much more interesting.
But Nen doesn't always have to be used that way. There are several moments in the series that are crucial that involve Nen usage outside of battle, some of which come from people who don't even fight to begin with.
10 Neon Can See The Future
Light Nostrade was a total nobody for years until he learned his daughter could see the future. With Neon’s power, Light was able to amass an entire fortune for himself, allowing him to become one of the most important people in the mafia. The power "Lovely Ghostwriter" could both allow people to profit off chances and avoid certain dangerous situations. It could make predictions for an entire month for one person, and Neon didn’t really have a limit on how frequently it could be used. The only problem is that it caught the eye of Chrollo, and this power was eventually stolen from Neon.
9 Illumi Alters His Appearance To Allow Him To Look Like Other People
Illumi has the manipulation Nen-type, and it's something he uses in a variety of ways. He can permanently change his face with the use of special items , which is what he used to get a Hunter license after freaking out his brother Killua. But he can also use Nen to do it normally, something Illumi used when he impersonated Hisoka once to fool the Phantom Troupe. This is the exact ability that would be useful to someone in the assassination business.
8 Opening Killua And Gon's Nen Floodgates
Both Killua and Gon knew they had to overcome Hisoka’s special ability that kept them from entering the 200th floor of the arena. To do so they needed to attain Nen, which was something that their teacher was willing to do for them. But the normal way to get Nen can take months. Fortunately, Wing was able to forcefully open their aura nodes by directing his Hatsu at them. This allowed them to make it back to Heaven’s Arena to open the 200th floor and get to the next level.
7 Giving Gon The Chance To Hear His Dad's Voice
Ging is one of the worst anime dads of all time, something most anime fans will all eagerly agree on. After Gon and Killua return to Gon’s hometown briefly, Gon’s adopted mom Mito gives Gon a box containing something left from Ging.
The box is impossible to open at first, and it's only when Killua suggests opening the box with Nen that it pops open. In other words, the only reason Gon was ever able to find any clues on his father’s whereabouts was by going to the trouble learning a technique most people don’t even know exists.
6 Biscuit's Piano Massage Allows People To Recover In Minutes
Biscuit Krueger is the teacher that helped Gon and Killua not only compete on Greed Island, she also helped them get strong enough to fight in the Chimera Ant storyline. Biscuit's transmutation power allows her to have a number of special abilities, which include being able to summon Cookie. Cookie has several abilities as well, but one of her best is the Piano Massage, a massage that allows someone to feel as rested as if they got eight hours of sleep in thirty minutes.
5 Machi Reattaching Hisoka's Arm
During the Heaven’s Arena arc, Hisoka battled an enemy from his past named Kastro. Kastro was an impressive fighter and was developed enough to seem like he might be a protagonist going forward thanks to his ability to duplicate himself. And then Hisoka killed him. But it came at the cost of Hisoka’s arm, something he pretended to reattach with the power of his Bungee Gum. It was only later that he was able to talk to Machi, a member of the Phantom Troupe, who used her special ability to reattach his arm perfectly.
4 Baise Forced Squala To Reveal His Plan
Baise was one of a handful of bodyguards that were assigned to protect Neon Nostrade alongside Kurapika. But among the bodyguards were a pair of infiltrators, including Squala. Initially, Squala refused to give up any information on his orders or his goals.
But Baise’s ability "Instant Lover" makes anyone she kisses fall madly in love with her. Willing to do anything to please Baise, Squala explained his goals and this allowed the other bodyguards to make it out of the mansion.
3 Killua Used His Electric Powers To Get Into Greed Island
Getting into the Greed Island game was a challenge for Gon, and more proof that Gon’s dad is a jerk. The two of them try to buy the game at first, but after being unable to do so, they try to be sent in by someone who owns the game. But to be chosen to enter, they have to prove their worth as Nen users. Killua does so by showing off his electricity powers while Gon uses his super-strength, and both are allowed in.
2 Shizuku Vacuuming Up The Phantom Troupe's Attack On The Mafia
The Phantom Troupe had one of their biggest missions during the Yorknew City arc, and it involved ticking off the mafia by stealing all the items at an Underground Auction. With their powers, it was easy to wipe out nearly everyone, even taking out one of Neon Nostrade’s bodyguards. To make matters worse, it was near impossible to get any evidence on who had done it thanks to Shizuku’s ability. Her special Nen power, "Blinky," lets her conjure up a giant vacuum cleaner that can suck up anything she commands.
1 Opening The 200th Floor Of Heaven's Arena
Gon and Killua were both incredibly gifted children by the time of the Heaven’s Arena arc. Their strength made it easy to fight their way up the tower, beating opponents with almost no effort and making money at the same time. But eventually, they reached the 200th floor of the tower, and things changed. Hisoka was waiting on them both, using a special pressure to push them away. It was only after learning Nen that either was able to enter and compete with the fighters on the upper floors.
