Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about this… this “Nen” thing, like in that cartoon show my grandkid watches. Hunter x Hunter, yeah, that’s it. They got these powers, see, and they call ’em Nen types. Kinda like how some folks are good at plantin’ taters and others are good at milkin’ cows, I guess.
So, this Nen, it ain’t just one thing. There’s a bunch of ’em. Like, six, I think. They got names like Enhancer, Emitter, Transmuter… fancy words, if you ask me. But it’s all about how you use your, uh… your “life energy,” they call it. Sounds like a load of hogwash, but hey, it’s a cartoon, right?
Now, they say the Enhancer folks are the most common. Makes sense, I reckon. Enhancers are the strong ones, like my old mule, Bess. They make things tougher, hit harder. They’re the kinda folks you want on your side when you’re haulin’ hay bales. They say if you’re the kinda person who’s straightforward and honest, you’re probably an Enhancer. Like, if you see a snake, you just stomp on it, you ain’t gonna try to sweet talk it.
- Enhancer: Tough as nails, strong as an ox.
- Emitter: These folks, they shoot out their energy. Like, if you could throw your anger at someone, that’s kinda like what they do. I always said my temper was like a bolt of lightnin’, maybe I’d be an Emitter.
- Transmuter: Now, these ones are tricky. They change their energy to somethin’ else. Like turnin’ water into wine, but with energy, I guess. They say these folks are fickle and lie easy, I know a few of them down at the market for sure.
Then there’s the Conjurers. They make things outta their energy. Like, if you could think up a shovel and it just appears, that’s what they do. Handy, wouldn’t it be? No more runnin’ to the shed when you need a tool. If you like to plan ahead, and you’re kinda high strung, maybe this is you.
And the Manipulators? They control things, living or not. Like puppeteers, but with energy instead of strings. I had a cousin who could sweet talk anyone into doin’ what he wanted, maybe he was a Manipulator. And the rarest of ’em all, the Specialists. They’re the weird ones, the ones nobody can figure out. They got powers that don’t fit anywhere else. Like that old coot down the road who claims he can talk to chickens.
Now, there’s this thing called a “Nen type quiz.” Sounds like somethin’ them city folk would do to waste time. But I guess it’s supposed to tell you which Nen type you’d be. They ask you questions, like what you’d do if you found a lost puppy or if you like to argue. And from that, they figure out if you’re an Enhancer, an Emitter, or somethin’ else. Honestly, it sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. You are what you are, no quiz is gonna change that.
But my grandkid, they love it. They took the quiz a dozen times, tryin’ to get the one they want. I told ’em, “Honey, you’re better off learnin’ how to bake a decent pie than worryin’ about what kinda cartoon power you got.” But kids these days, they don’t listen. They got their heads in the clouds.
So, if you wanna know your Nen type, go ahead and take the quiz. It’s all over the internet, they tell me. But don’t come cryin’ to me if it says you’re a Manipulator and you wanted to be an Enhancer. It’s just a game, y’all. Don’t take it too serious. Life’s too short to be worryin’ about cartoon powers. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go chase that darn rooster out of the garden.
Anyways, that’s the gist of it, as best as I can figure. These city-folk and their fancy ideas, always comin’ up with new ways to complicate things. Back in my day, you were either good at workin’ the land or you weren’t, simple as that. No need for all these special categories and whatnot.
