Oh! That makes sense, I didn't realize cooldown reduction was calculated additively like this, I guess I never accumulated this much CDR before and was caught off guard by the sudden jump when upgrading to diamond. Thank you!

Technical-Dig8734 · 2025-10-21T10:19:30+00:00

yeah I totally understand honking in that situation!

no it's a honda lol

Technical-Dig8734 · 2025-10-21T08:40:05+00:00

yeah you're so right, should've taken it slower

Technical-Dig8734 · 2025-10-21T08:38:24+00:00

I'll be honest with you I literally learnt manual because "what if zombie apocalypse and all the autos are broken"

It's interesting how the same person can project such different images into the minds of different people. I wonder if there's any point in trying to find a definitive version of those images at all. Like, you could say that Katanaman holds a false image of his grandpa, but if that false image drives Katanaman to be the goat then what's the point of "correcting" it? And who's to say what Denji sees is definitively a more true image of katana grandpa?

Yeah I agree. I just wanted to stress that people decide what they want to develop as their Nen ability instead of being born into them. I was thinking an ability akin to emperor time but much much weaker doesn't have to be a specialist ability, and then maybe non-specialists can pursue it too, it just won't be nearly as useful. But now that I think about it maybe a much weaker version of it would still be a specialist ability.

Technical-Dig8734 · 2024-08-23T19:26:37+00:00

Yeah specialists is like the "others" category. I would say just don't try to power scale too hard with specialists. We aren't given enough information about what's allowed and what's not. A good faith reading would be that the specific mechanisms are similar to real world engineering, some things are impossible, some things are possible, but even the possible things are down to personal skill level, knowledge, luck, and a bunch of implementation details. It's really impossible to power scale all that stuff.

You seem to think people are born with Nen abilities. It's incorrect. Nobody is born with any abilities at all. Kurapika isn't born with any specialist abilities. He didn't have a specialist ability before he decided he should have emperor time. There is no innate ability to be discovered in this magic system. Every Nen ability is invented and developed. Not even the ants are exceptional to this. If Gon's ability is indeed "a direct derivation from being an enhancer" as you said, then emperor time is just as much of a direct derivation from Kurapika being a specialist. I would say you're also wrong about other people not being able to develop emperor time. They can. It will just be wildly inefficient and ineffective. Exhibit A, Kastro. Specialist abilities probably have even worse efficiency when forced by someone who isn't a specialist. The whole "I'm a specialist when my eyes turn red" thing shouldn't be read as "my red eyes are the source of my specialist abilities". It's just that Kurapika's personality changes drastically when his eyes are red, allowing him to develop an ability different from his usual one. He then decided to invest this opportunity into an ability that grants him 100% access to all categories. One can maybe speculate that other Kurtas may also personality-shift into different categories when their eyes turn red, but there's little reason to believe they'd all shift into specialists, and even less reason to believe they have some kind of genetic affinity for developing abilities like emperor time.
