Nen's exorcism ability explained

Important points

• Nen Exorcism is a rare and unique ability in Hunter x Hunter and is highly sought after due to Nen's Curse.
• Nen's curses vary in type and effect. whereby exorcism transfers the curse to the exorcist's aura.
• Only a handful of skilled Nen shamans were able to deal with the postmortem curse. This makes exorcism a challenge in this series.

As most fans of the medium would agree, Nen is one of the most unique power systems in anime and manga history. Combining aspects such as Nen's type (Enhancement, Transformation, Liberation, Conjuring, Manipulation, and Mastery), the Four Essential Nen Principles (Ten Zetsu, Ren Hatsu) and Advanced Nen Techniques (Gyo In and En, Sho ,Ko,Ken,Ryu) all come together to make a well-detailed and interesting power system.

Many of the details of Nen are Nen Exorcism. Nen Exorcism is a unique aspect of Nen's use, making it a rare and unique ability in Hunter x Hunter world. The downside of being a Nen Exorcist is that it lacks versatility, but regardless, Nen Exorcists are highly sought after because of the Nen Curse.

Curses and Banishments

The reason why Nen Exorcists are in high demand

The Curse of Nen is a specific application of Nen used to cause suffering to an individual. The type and effects of Nen curses vary from person to person. As well as the conditions required to break the Nen Curse, most Nen curses exist. Hunter x Hunter It is the result of casting a spell, as seen in Kurapika's Judgment Chain case. and the release in the case of Knuckle's Hakoware.

Nen Exorcism is not as simple as turning off or removing a curse. Due to the nature of Nen Nen's curse didn't just stop after the exorcism. But the curse happened to the exorcist instead. Because the aura and curse took on a new form instead of the original curse bearer. The shape of the aura and curse depends on the shaman's type of nen. Although the original holders of the Nen Curse were freed, Nen Exorcists were forced to live with the curse. unless one of these three conditions is satisfied. The first is for the Nen Exorcist to fulfill the conditions originally set by the caster. The second is the death of the damned. The final way to remove a Nen curse is death of the caster. However, this does not apply to the Post Mortem Nen Curse because, like the name suggests, The curse effect begins after the caster's death.

The case of the postmortem curse is completely different and is the hardest type of Nen curse to exorcise. Because the Nen curse caster died before the exorcism could take place, the Nen used were completely superior to the living Nen user. Only a few shamans are able to exorcise this curse when the victim is harmed. It is stated that there are less than 10 shamans in the world. Hunter x Hunter can achieve this effect So far, only four Nen Exorcists have appeared in this story. And only two of them have shown how their exorcism works.

Abengane's exorcism explained

The first exorcist to debut in the series.

Abengane is the first exorcist to be introduced in Hunter x Hunter Story. He debuts in Greed Island in chapter 125 of the manga and chapter 60 of the 2011 anime adaptation. Along with Gon and Killua, Abengane is one of the 20 Nen users who pass Tsezguera's test. and was allowed to enter the Greedy Island game at Battera's mansion after Genthru revealed himself to be a traitor and explained how he had activated the Countdown ability on all Alliance members. He then asks for all spell cards and the specified 90 slot cards before he uses his exit card to flee the scene. Abengane realizes that he has been cursed by Genthru, so he attempts to exorcise himself with the curse.

Abengane is a magician. and his exorcism allows him to remove the effects of the Nen curse. Due to his Nen type, the aura takes the form of a Nen beast. The Nen beast's appearance and size depend on the power of the curse.

Abengane's exorcism required him to burn a campfire in the forest. He then held a wooden figure. and began to pray to the spirits of the forest. He used branches and leaves to decorate wooden sculptures. and threw it into the fire The campfire burns abnormally and the aura of the forest's flora and fauna as it works with Abengane's aura conjures up the Nen creatures that surround Abengane.

This nen creature stayed around Abungne until the conditions to break the curse placed by Gentru were met. which is to touch Genthru and say:

I caught the bomber.

The downside to Abungane's exorcism is that he cannot gauge the strength of the Nen curse until he begins the exorcism ritual. Part of Greed Island's arc focuses on the members of the Phantom Troupe searching for a sorcerer to destroy Kurapika's chain of judgment placed on Chrollo. Abengane is discovered using Kalluty's abilities. And Hisoka negotiates with him to help get rid of Chrollo's curse, although the exorcism is not seen. This was achieved when Chrollo reappeared in the sequel without the effects of the curse. However, due to the nature of Kurapika's curse, There are no conditions that can destroy it. Abengane was therefore likely stuck with the large nen beast created by this exorcism, without any hope of achieving the conditions to destroy it.

Hina's exorcism seems to be progressing a bit.

Hidden Gem of Chimera Ants

Hina, formerly known as Hirin, is a Chimera Ant introduced in the Chimera Ant arc in Chapter 192 and Episode 81. She is the former captain of Leol's team and one of the few Chimera Ants who appear fully human.

Hina's physical abilities, such as strength and speed, are almost beyond those of an ordinary human. But her Nen abilities are where she excels.

Hina is an expert. Her exorcisms therefore took on a different form and approach to Abengane. Her true abilities were shown when she rescued Cheetu, another chimera ant. Banish the curse placed on Knuckles.

Hina's exorcism does not require an extensive ritual like Abengane's, as she simply removes the curse from Cheetu and stores the aura in her stomach. make it swell The size of her stomach reflects the size of the curse, and in this case, she looks like a pregnant woman after the exorcism is complete.

Two other exorcists are seen throughout the story. The first is an unnamed Hunter Association Exorcist who attempts to help Gon at the end of the Chimera Ant Arc, but she considers the curse too powerful and claims that there is no exorcist in the world that. Able to dispel the curse that Gon placed on himself. The second shaman is Umanma who is introduced in the Succession War arc. She is the personal bodyguard of the Second Prince, Camilla. The fact that these four are the only Nen Exorcists we have encountered so far makes it difficult to understand why. The abilities of the two of them are a complete mystery after 400 chapters. Hunter x Hunter It effectively shows how skilled and rare they are.
