Why doesnt Gon just make a portal to trap and crack pitou? Is he stupid?
Real subject is: Why emission pisses me off
I would love actual thoughts and debate because I may be missing things.
Basically emission can be used to make portals, entire pocket dimensions, and create nen beasts (like razors 14 devils, goreinu, and depending on who you ask, netero's bodhisattva). all while being opposite to conjuration, by the way, yet all functionally solid... And if we agree that any of those powers required some conjuration, that still pisses me off, theres not really a point of being born a category and there being efficiency drop offs to further categories, if so many nen users ability can only be reasonably explained with far categories. It makes kastro look even more retarded, seriously think about it. If Neteros ability is not conjuration, but emission, then why shouldnt kastro's have trained emission, an emitted double in my mind could definitely still use tiger bite fist, i mean, what would truly prevent it? Could an emitter not even just make a flying tiger bite fist? and use manipulation to make it go where ever to attack? Dont get me started on portals, how nobody seems to use them.
kastro, netero, gon, they are all right next to emission. Gon could, with 80% efficiency, create portals, if he trained to, which seems like a basic emission technique too, actually, probably the ONLY other emission technique after just shooting aura balls, i wouldnt even call making aura constructs with emission a pure technique as the other two are, because it could be argued manipulation is used to shape the aura and keep the construct formed. I say this not because I think gon should, but because I think its a fundamental issue with the nen categories, enhancement shouldnt be next to portals, and especially not any pocket dimensional stuff.
And then we have base emission without those things and it is literally, detach/shoot aura. Which again overlaps with conjuration despite being opposite, and is honestly such a nitpick of a category at the point, why shouldnt other nen categories be able to detach or shoot their aura? What exactly about a conjurer makes it harder for them to decide to do an emission technique like razor or gon's paper? Without portals and nen beasts, emission is hardly a category.
So the simple fix of moving portals or at least knov's ability to specialization just leaves emission empty.
