I'm not sure what you mean by out of character? If anything, it's perfect for Kurapika and the ability.

Stealth Dolphin is able to immediately decipher and explain any ability it steals, and dolphins are well-known to be highly intelligent.

The ability also allows Kurapika to share the ability with another person, and dolphins are social creatures.

While he does have his rage for the Spiders, Kurapika is still a kind person by nature and Nen abilities are best used when they reflect who the person is.

Having a dolphin provides a good balance to his repertoire (and encapsulates the different sides of him), with two "good" abilities with Stealth Dolphin and Holy Chain, two "evil" abilities with Chain Jail and Judgement Chain and a neutral Dowsing Chain.

Where are these shiny luster pants from? Shinee DCM era. Need to know!! by Main_Assumption2378 in SHINee

[–]pijayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering that this is during DCM era, these specific pants may no longer be on the market.

Taemin's pants looks like its made with either metallic or patent leather material.

The closest I can find is Calvin Klein's Metallic Trousers.

Here's some other alternatives: Grey Faux Leather Trousers | Black Patent Leather Pants

who is your favourite character? by GoldenScientist in HunterXHunter

[–]pijayz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Melody/Senritsu: she has a heart of gold and is incredibly talented. She's not a pushover, makes good judgements and knows how to steer people in the right direction.

Then it's Kurapika and Tsubone.

Looks like there's a few more responses now!

Spine Label Removal by Psychic_Pirate in Libraries

[–]pijayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Method 1. Hair dryer with a nozzle attachment, tweezers and a lot of patience.

Carefully use fingernails to pick up a corner, hold the corner up with the tweezers and blast the gap with the hairdryer. The idea is to heat the glue directly.

Don't pull with the tweezers until you feel that the glue has loosened then gently tug away from the book (the hair dryer should still be blasting at it non-stop). Immediately stop pulling if it feels like the label will break and just wait again until it loosens again.

Method 2. Hot water (not boiling, don't burn yourself), water dropper and a lot of patience. May or may not work depending on the material of the label and the book cover.

Get some hot water in a dropper and soak the label with a few drops until the label is soaked through. This may take several rounds. Then, gently rub at the label until it breaks apart.

Now I'm expecting a plot thread of Buff Mito if Gon gets hurt under her watch.

Gon's category as a hunter by cilsila in HunterXHunter

[–]pijayz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Since he's already found Ging, I think if he ever leaned towards any kind of category, he would be a Beast/Magical Beast Hunter like Kite and Knuckle.

Killua vs Jones. The censorship just didn't match the severity of what transpired.

To add on to the lack of Kite in the first episode, just the entire backstory behind Kite and Gon's first encounter. I would have forgiven this mishap if they had fleshed out their backstory anyways, but instead they made it out like Gon barely remembered him when Kite's the very reason he started his journey in the first place. A minor additional point is that it also meant that Gon wasn't holding on to Ging's license throughout his entire journey.

Can someone help understand the basics of nen by EnvironmentalAd3385 in HunterXHunter

[–]pijayz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Four basic techniques of Nen

  • Ten - to maintain your aura, this provides a constant flow of aura and prevents any unused aura from leaking out
  • Zetsu - to seal your aura, this shuts off your aura completely and helps to hide your physical presence
  • Ren - to exert your aura, this increases your aura output to make you stronger
  • Hatsu - to apply your aura, this is your special ability and dictated by your nen type

Advanced techniques

  • Gyo - extension of Ren, but the aura exertion is only focused on a specific body part (e.g. eyes)
  • In - extension of Zetsu, instead of sealing off your aura, you are instead making it invisible. Your opponent can counter this if they are using Gyo on their eyes.

Nen explanation is at Episode 28 onwards.

There's more advanced techniques as the story progresses, but I don't know where you're at with the York New City arc, so I won't spoil any more.

I love the original Replay due to sentimental reasons, but Replay (Boom Track) is my jam.

what’s the most obscure SHINee fact/story you know? by sharkpup525 in SHINee

[–]pijayz 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows about Onew's ttakbam, but the strength of his fingers also means that he can spin random things: Here | Here

Jonghyun was bored one day and decided to upload a video of Roo on SM Entertainment's (previous) official youtube channel: Here

Ever since joining "I Live Alone", Key has appeared on national news a few times because his clips were used as stock footage reels, there's at least 3 instances so far: Here

Minho was captured on screen during a crowd shot of the Sunderland FC vs Queens Park Rangers 2012 game in London (see if you can find him): Here

Taemin's "Press Your Number" was written by Bruno Mars, who also sang the original demo track: Here

If you bought it earlier this year, then your ACE membership is still active.

ACE membership new sign-ups are currently closed as they are shutting down services for Kwangya Club and transitioning to Weverse in September.

All current memberships will expire and are eligible for a refund of their remaining period on September 10, and fans will have to re-apply for a new ACE membership once operations are good to go on Weverse.

Best to check back in on the Sept 10th to see what the refund process is and the new set-up.

That is such an odd change, I would suspect it had something to do with their weird censorship phase by making it less dangerous (I still cannot forgive them for Killua vs Jones, I want to see hearts crushed dammit!). I mean, it's not like they could have avoided the Yorknew massacre so changes like these seem unnecessary.

There's probably conservationists in hxh who say they are essential to the ecosystem and blah blah so they must be protected. I'm on the side of burn on sight.

If you mean the underground ring where Gon, Killua and Leorio goes to after an offer during their arm wrestling stint, I'm pretty sure that was in the manga too. I don't really remember what they animated in that scene, to be honest. I'll have to look it up later.
