As great as that fight animation was (which is off the charts) I love the BGM Madhouse used - that very quiet, creepy string piece. I've never heard anything quite like it in anime, and it suited the scene perfectly.

In fact, fighting against an enhancer is usually the least simple of all, as he can no-sell a lot of other style's abilities by sheer base stats. |

I must have watched those last five minutes 6 or 7 times (including rewinding as soon as the scene was over the first time, not even waiting for the episode to end) and I can't get over just how great it was. In terms of animation quality, BGM, fight choreography, direction... The highest praise I can give is that it's the best anime fight sequence I've seen since episode 3 of Seirei no Moribito.

I disagree with you all.

And as pointed out, you're assuming that Specialist abilities are great for combat, and forgetting that how it's not just about what you have, but how you use it. Hisoka believes himself the strongest, and hasn't been proven wrong so far despite his hobby of picking fights with strong guys. Yet he only uses transformation. |

Also for a change I wanted to phrase the comparison in a way that most people will grasp even if its not the one I would have normally made. |

For fighting, enhancement is definitely the best kind of skill.
The others have to use their imagination and come up with an useful ability, and also use it intelligently in combat. Granted, if they have a good plan they may be able to beat anyone, but in general they are more at risk in a fight. Instead enhancers can fight more easily and safely. |

Don't let the simplicity of the one pure enhancer we've seen fool you. Enhancement is only as simple as the opponent you're fighting. |

I won't comment anymore on this matter though, since I would have to use examples of different types of Hatsu that appear later on to do it. |

I am aware of your examples and I maintain my stance, especially in the face of later examples.
Of course being an enhancer is not a guaranteed win, but saying that makes them simple to figure out is horribly oversimplifying the potential of enhancement. And frankly, you can do that simplification to almost any type bar specialists. Emitters? Oh, they're going to attack from range. Manipulators? Oh, they're going to manipulate something in the area. Conjurers? Oh, they're going to create something to attack me with. Transmuters are the only of the five who is hard to simplify, since their 'change he properties of your aura' is rather undefined by its nature. However, since theirs is a type the second-furthest removed from emission, you can bet it's going to be something close to mid-range tops. Last edited by Keroko; 2012-06-19 at 18:13. |

If the Specialist class is "outside the hexagon" (nen system), this will make them the overpowered ones (ie, asspull powers) and that is not what Togashi intended. The system was designed so there wouldn't be unequal fighting chances for each category if all other components are equal (ie, knowledge, experience, intelligence). Quote:
1) it is a requirement to be considered a true Hunter; 2) knowing nen can help him in becoming a great doctor (remember that nen is NOT a battle-only weapon); 3) having a Hunter license equate to having a bullseye on your back --- @everyone who's discussing about Enhancer VS Other Categories Enhancers are the perfect nen for battle as it is the most balanced in defense and offense Spoiler for Yorknew arc:
--- As for this week's episode, I love it. It's just wow. <----- understatement |

I've been watching the fight over and over, as well, and I can't help but love how Hisoka is just smirking throughout the entire fight and how gon, on the other hand, is desperately fighting in an attempt to get that single punch in. I didn't notice this right away, but I love how Gon was clearly using zetsu while he was hiding behind the rubble. There's such an impressive level of detail in this fight, and I think it's awesome that they don't completely spell it out for you. lol I also love how effeminate hisoka is throughout the whole thing. His stance, the way he fights... it's just so graceful. |
