Yeah jjk is cool in that it doesnt try to hide what it has borrowed and pays homage to those influences

For me, I always thought that the "talk of nen" and how its not talked about or spoken of especially in the exam arc is that everyone who uses it just uses it. There's no need to talk about it because they are mostly older people or may have learned about nen so long ago that its no point in talking about it. Its an everyday use type of thing. It would be like going to work and then asking everyone how did you get here, of course you got there somehow but then the new person in the workplace just start asking people, "so have you learned how to travel yet? Yes, I travelled to work today! So I travel using this method!" But to us as viewers learning about Nen is necessary. Not only because we need it for context but also because Gon and Killua are first learning of it as well! I think this part of the show is a very thorough yet overlooked example of how Gon and Killua are simply kids and are learning stuff for the first time in a world amongst adults.

He was talking about different set of japanese subtitles bluray vs crunchyroll (which I endorse). Man does NOT do dubs.

Please don't switch to dub stay on sub I know there is a lot of information but the dub version really isn't the same...Nen is one of the most complete power system in anime!

you mentioned i think that you have seen JJK s1. if you remember near the start, gojo explains the concept of using cursed energy vs cursed technique to yuji by using 2 cans. little nod to this classic show

This episode embodies what I wrote on previous one about the "different meaning, yet, read the same" shenanigans. Result of 1500 years of trying to make sense of a writing system which was really, really unsuited for Japanese language lol
Now it's so convoluted that it is actually essential to our language, but man, the mental gymnastics people were forced to perform while adapting...

Man.... I'm so glad you are finally getting introduced to nen. To me, it's the best Power system in fiction that I've come across. You're in for a lot of fun!
