Nen

Item from Hunter x Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi

The power system that defines the Hunter x Hunter world — the art of controlling life energy (aura) through discipline, self-knowledge, and the willingness to accept limitations that make you stronger.

Also known as: Nen, Aura

What They Know

• Six Nen types: Enhancement (strengthening), Transmutation (property change), Emission (ranged projection), Conjuration (object creation), Manipulation (control), Specialization (unique)
• Four basic techniques: Ten (contain aura), Zetsu (suppress aura), Ren (amplify aura), Hatsu (express aura as ability)
• Advanced techniques: En (detection field), Ko (concentration), Ken (defense), Ryu (combat distribution)
• The Limitation principle: self-imposed restrictions and conditions proportionally increase an ability's power. The greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward
• Nen after death: aura can become more powerful after the user dies, especially if driven by strong emotion or unresolved purpose
