Sure it's a big world. From what we've been shown though (no mentioning of details in later arcs of the manga) there are plenty of nen users in the world, but the number who actually train in all the basics is actually pretty low. I have a feeling that most of the people in togashi's world that use nen in some way are doing it with little to no knowledge that they are actually using an energy called nen. People like the "Spiders" and the Zoldyck Family for instance; fully trained nen masters who have no affiliation with the Hunter Org. are extremely rare.
I get the feeling that the number of people outside the Hunter Org. that actually know that nen exists is like way less than 1% of Togashi's world population. Whether they fall in the top 100 or 200 or whatever (I find no joy in arguing semantics) my point is that after training with Bisky, Gon and Killua are really high up in the ranks of your average nen user. The very small percent of actual masters are really the only ones that are above them. The problem is that they are REALLY far above them. In order to bridge that gap they need actual life and death battle experience (though if I were in charge or raising them I'd probably argue they are a little young for that still). No amount of practice will bring them closer to people like Hisoka for example.

Perhaps it IS better to qualify their skill, rather than quantify it. Like PureBoy said, the experience gap between them and, say, Hisoka is still unbelievably large.
(Why is Hisoka such an easy example to measure our heroes against anyways?) |

I don't get the feeling Hisoka has any interest in killing Gon for quite a while yet - he's willing to be patient enough to let Gon grow strong enough to be a real challenge, which likely means 5 or 6 years. Plus, I think he probably likes Gon and Killua as much as he "likes" anyone - they provide him with entertainment and a turn-on, and if he killed them too soon he'd be deprived of that. In my view, Hisoka's only real enemy is boredom and it's the only thing he can't defeat.

I disagree with you all.

And the thing with Hisoka is, while you're right he wants to fight strong people, he isn't very patient or self-controlled. He said it himself - he has a tendency to eat his fruits while they're still a bit green. He might regret it later (if he was the kind of guy who regretted anything), but if they catch him at the wrong time, he may well decide to have his fun now. |

Without spoiling can we say that Kurapika's already mastered his Hatsu at this point of the story?
Edit: Nevermind that, we already know that the purpose of his Nen is fulfilled anyway. |

This arc is pretty good so far.
All the human/animal hybrids are intriguing. It's not good when you consider all the human casualties, but it's interesting from scientific point of view. So many possibilities, practically infinite number of possible hybrids. The examinations to enter NGL were over the top. Well, at least Gon and the others finally arrived. Those hybrids are acting more and more like humans. Wonder how long it'll take for them to break the bond with the queen.
