Nen Techniques and Aura Types in Hunter x Hunter
In Hunter x Hunter, everyone has an aura—the life energy that lives inside them. People can use this aura with Nen, which is a set of techniques that lets someone control and manipulate their aura. There are several different Nen principles that any hunter can learn, but there are others that take advanced skills.
Basic Nen Principles
- Ten: The ability to keep your aura flowing, but also to keep it from escaping.
- Zetsu: The ability to stop the flow of aura, which is helpful for concealing your presence or power.
- Ren: The ability to amplify and project your aura outward.
- Hatsu: The power to manipulate your aura into a special ability, or aura technique.
Almost every hunter uses those four basic principles to command and control their aura, but every hunter uses them differently. How they’re able to use their aura determines their Aura Type. There are 6 major Aura Types, and each type makes up a broad category of different Nen abilities:
Enhancement
Enhancers pour their aura into an object or into parts of their bodies to make them stronger, more durable, deadlier, or to amplify their natural properties. This kind of Nen user is said to be the most straightforward and the most balanced. They can charge up a super powerful punch, or enhance a piece of clothing to make it strong as armor.
Transmutation
Transmuters can shift their aura to give it the properties of something else, like making it zap like electricity, flow like water, or stick like glue. They often use pure aura to fight, sending it out from their bodies as a weapon. Transmuters are often clever and unpredictable, and prefer to fight on their own terms.
Emission
Emitters can separate aura from their body, casting it out over long distances while maintaining its power and strength. Like transmuters, emitters often fight using pure aura, turning it into things like projectiles or weapons, but also using it to make decoys or even to teleport. Emitters are quick thinkers who never let an opportunity pass them by.
Conjuration
Conjurers create physical, real-life objects out of aura. They most often use their ability to forge strong or specialized weapons, but can also create things like physical laws or pocket dimensions. Most conjurations have “conditions” that allow them to exist, and the more specific the condition, the more powerful the conjuration. Conjurers are mentally strong and highly focused.
Manipulation
Manipulators take control of both living and non-living things. They can use people like puppets, send objects flying, or plant ideas or memories into other people’s heads. They’re probably the most mental and intellectual category of Nen users, and their crafty abilities make them tricky to deal with in a fight.
Specialization
Specialists don’t fit into any of the other categories. Their Nen abilities are highly unusual, and often don’t follow conventional rules or adhere to expectations. That said, their Nen abilities are usually also highly specific and situational. Some can grant wishes, others can copy other Nen users’ abilities. There’s no telling what you’re up against when you step onto the battlefield with a specialist.
