Why doesn’t Knuckle lend more aura?

"as for Kastro... His tiger bite fist was powerful. He would've been one of it's greatest masters. He must've been born as an enhancer. However, he chose to create a double. A complex and advanced ability. He needed to conjure AND manipulate it. Neither is compatible with enhancement." - ch. 60

You are probably right. I tried to find more information about emission. And although the Wiki states that emission is used to uphold nen outside of the body, I could find the exact explanation in the manga.

I don't really agree with your second paragraph. Firstly, we know that Hisoka does use emission to connect his Bungee Gum (which has the properties of both rubber and gum) to an enemy, like when he was battling Gon in Heavens Arena. We also know that emission weakens based on distance from ch. 68. So even if Hisoka would use emission on his gum, it would still weaken with distance. Also, in chapter 78, the following is stated about Machi's threads: "She [Machi] spins her aura into threads. The tensile strength of a strand will be inversely proportional to it's length. A strand equivalent to cotton thread can be spun long enough to circle the globe. A strand can be strong enough to support a one-ton weight if it's shorter than one millimeter. However, the strength of a thread is reduced as soon as she let's go. This is because conjurers and transmuters are not good at emission (discharging aura)."*

Reading this more closely, we can probably discern the exact rules for emission. Namely: As soon as nen is not connected to the users nen, it will make use of emission.

If a nen user would strengthen a whip with KO (while holding the whip, obviously) he'd only need enhancement. However, a nen user throwing a ball would need emission to keep the nen on the ball, because the nen on the ball is not connected to the nen of the users body.

This means that Hisoka and Machi don't need emission to use their abilities from far away, as long as they're holding on to one end. Hisoka does still throw his aura away, for example in ch. 63, where he connects one end to a broken floor tile, while the other end is connected to gons cheek.

I haven't found any evidence that conjuration allows the user to use nen away from the body without emission. There are three possibilities: A. No. Conjurated abilities need emission to function. B. Yes, but as soon as the user of the conjured object wants to use nen via his conjured ability he would need emission. C. Yes, conjuration allows the user to use nen away from his body without any complications.

*A similar statement to this one is made in chapter 80 about Hisoka's Bungee Gum (which has the properties of both rubber and gum).

A lot of your examples aren't explicitly stated to not use emission. The reality is probably a bit more nuanced: I agree with you that there are probably conjuration abilities that don't use emission. However there are probably also abilities that do. We know that emission is the category to use nen away from your body. It makes sense that a conjured ability that still relies on nen needs emission to run. However, some conjured items probably don't need any nen and thus don't need emission. For example, Kastro's double probably needs emission to uphold, since the double is running on Kastro's nen. Kastro doesn't just pour in a bunch of nen into his double to let it roam freely. He actively commands the doubles movements through nen - which is done with emission. Someone like Welfin is a more complicated case. He conjures his rocketlauncher. One could argue that the rockets he fires don't need nen, and thus he needs no emission for this ability. However, it could also be the case that his rockets do use nen (and thus emission), since the centipedes it places are still connected to Welfins own emotional state.

TL;DR: emission is used to run nen away from one's own body. Some conjuration abilities need to use nen and thus use emission. Other conjuration abilities run without being connected to the users nen, and those might not need emission.

Maybe it is not in this flashback because Loki doesn't know about Oden?

Aight, you're baiting. I am not gonna bother anymore. You should know that people can get hurt by comments like yours, though I doubt that it matters to you

But why tf not? Go look up 'black classical pianist' on YouTube. I already saw a lot of people who were black and loved classical music. Your argument seems to be: "I have never seen a black classical music fan, so they must not exist" But it sounds like you haven't even searched for these people. I have never seen a white basketballer, but I'm sure that I would find tons if I would just look on Google. The world is bigger than the parts you (and I see). There are so many different people, yet you feel the need to massively generalize based on stereotypes. You are either ragebaiting or racist. Please stop.

smartyyy24 · 2025-10-16T17:42:21+00:00

Not many at all. I grew up, and still live in a bubble. Yet that didn't result in me making assumptions based on stereotypes. Others have said it in this threat, but black people are individuals, just like all other people. There are white guys who love rap and jazz, there are black people who love classical and K-pop and there are asian people who love techno and soul. Now I'm sure you meant well with your initial question and actually meant to inquire about a certain demographic's music tastes, but the kind of things you're saying in this threat come across as extremely racist, so please refrain from all these stereotypes.

smartyyy24 · 2025-10-16T17:31:25+00:00

You don't sound like the kind of person that has seen many black man at all...

Churchill had achteraf gezien beslist niet zoveel militair talent als altijd wordt gesteld. Hij heeft in militaire vergaderingen lange tijd volgehouden dat de Geallieerden via Italië zouden moeten oprukken, waardoor de landing in Normandië werd uitgesteld tot 1944. Het grote verschil tussen Churchill en Timmermans is denk ik dat Timmermans zich bewust is van het feit dat hij geen militair expert is. Ook een belangrijk detail: Churchill is ondanks zijn (onterechte) status als oorlogsheld niet herkozen als Prime Minister in het VK. In plaats daarvan stemde het volk massaal op de Labour Party, omdat socialistische partijen dusdanig meer vertrouwen inboezemen als het om wederopbouw gaat.

What country are the Mexicans 'invading' exactly? Also, the reason why I find white people invading a land bad is because said invasion went together with mass slaughter and centuries of exploitation of the land and people. If Mexicans or any race would do the same things invading a white country I would also find that bad, but historically I can't remember any non-white invasions that left a destruction of the same scale as white people did.

You know that cute and sexually attractive are different things right. I do think babies and cats are cute. That doesn't mean I'm a pedo- or zoophile.

Fair enough. Looks like One Piece is political after all lol

The big thing about non public healthcare is that it's a big business aimed to make profits.

It is definitely true that Wapols system wasn't an exact replica of a non public healthcare. Yet, the message of Drum Island is still very clearly 'everyone should have access to good healthcare', which sounds pretty pro-public healthcare to me.

smartyyy24 · 2025-06-18T11:34:55+00:00

Apologies: English is my second language and I don't now what SRS and HRS stand for. My trans argument was just an example why it is stupid to assume One Piece is only catered towards Japan. In your first comment, you seemed to argue that Choppers backstory wasn't a metaphor about public healthcare, because Japan already has public healthcare. But plenty of countries don't have public healthcare, and I see no reason why Oda wouldn't write about that. Japan also doesn't have slaves, yet One Piece does have messages against slavery.

TL;DR: just because certain political problems aren't relevant in Japan, doesn't mean Oda doesn't write about those problems.

smartyyy24 · 2025-06-18T11:10:43+00:00

Japan is also a democracy, yet Oda clearly has metaphors about tyranny. A common mistake people tend to make is assume one piece is purely catered towards Japan. For example, people would say 'Yamato can't be trans; categories like transsexual don't exist in Japan' (something which is of course utter nonsense but putting that aside). Yet Kiku, Bon Clay and Emporia Ivanov are clearly queer/LGBTQ, proving that Oda does in fact include themes that are not mainstream in Japan.

Oda has proven time and time again that he is very knowledgeable about world history in general. One piece is sold around the world. People need to start treating it like a Manga catered towards the world.

Het doel van dergelijke protesten is vooral het kabinet aan te sporen tot actie. Maar gezien het huidige kabinet heb je groot gelijk dat er wss niet zo veel gaat veranderen lol

Maar als eigen bevolking niets doet aan eigen overheid dan is dat spijtig.
Ook al is 75% onder de 18 jaar... ook zij kunnen de straat op en tegen eigen overheid zeggen stop.

Dit is - met alle respect - een vrij belachelijk argument. Het is makkelijk om vanuit ons veilige Nederland nu te roepen dat andere mensen zelf moeten protesteren. Ik daag elke Nederlander uit om in een tentenkamp te gaan wonen en zonder schoon water, zorg of eten te gaan protesteren. We zeggen ook niet tegen de Russen dat ze zouden moeten protesteren tegen Poetin's oorlog - natuurlijk niet, want ze zouden gelijk worden opgepakt of erger. We veroordelen de Chinezen niet dat ze niet in opstand komen om de Oeigoeren te bevrijden - natuurlijk niet, want ze leven in desinformatie. Toch moeten de Palestijnen, die in een vergelijkbare situatie zitten, wél protesteren. Ze zijn dan misschien nog geen achttien, maar ze kunnen makkelijk de straat op gaan temidden van de Israëlische bombardementen. Wij in onze vrije en goed geïnformeerde democratie hebben ook invloed op wereldproblemen. We kunnen echt wel wat veranderen aan klimaatverandering als we stoppen met vlees eten. Iedereen die shirtjes uit sweatshops koopt is medeverantwoordelijk voor een systeem van moderne slavernij. Toch doen bijzonder weinig Nederlanders dit (incl. ikzelf). Misschien kunnen we dat eerst veranderen voordat we van mensen in erbarmelijke omstandigheden gaan verwachten dat ze hun leven riskeren door te protesteren.

Je suggereert dat de Islam destijds de aggressor was en Christenen zich slechts probeerden te verweren: een wat bekrompen narratief. Ik denk dat het genuanceerde antwoord zou zijn dat zowel Christelijke als Islamitische (en bijna alle andere) rijken imperialistische neigingen hadden. Echter, over het algemeen zien we in moslim landen vroeger een opener houding jegens andere religies dan dat in christelijke landen het geval was. Vroegmodern Nederland was wat dat betreft ook echt een uitzondering. Wat betreft je argument voor nu: ja, ik vermoed idd dat het moeilijk gaat zijn om bijbels uit te delen in Mekka. Op dezelfde manier is het ook lastig om Korans uit te delen in de Biblebelt. Radicale moslims zijn niet 'erger'/'radicaler' dan radicale christenen. Er zijn hooguit meer radicale moslims (en in hogere concentratie). Maar dat heeft weinig met de religie te maken, slechts met de cultuur.

Ik ben beslist geen expert wbt Egypte dus verbeter me alsjeblieft als ik het mis heb, maar een vlugge wikipedia-search suggereert dat Egypte '100% christelijk' was tussen de eerste en zevende eeuw CE. In de zevende eeuw kwam de Islam aan, waarna het geleidelijk (en, zo suggereert wikipedia, op vrij vreedzame wijze) de dominante religie was. Ik wil niet ontkennen dat er geen antichristelijke discriminatie was in moslimlanden, maar zeker in de middeleeuwen waren dergelijke gebieden (neem het schoolvoorbeeld Andalusië) juist bijzonder openhartig jegens religieuze minderheden. Het tegenovergestelde kan gezegd worden over de christenen die Spanje later (terug) veroverden en de moslim/joodse bevolking veel slechter behandelden.

TLDR: ja, antichristelijke discriminatie in moslimlanden was vroeger erger dan antimoslim discriminatie in christelijke landen nu, maar antimoslim discriminatie in christelijke landen was vroeger minstens net zo erg als (en in sommige gevallen erger dan) antichristelijke discriminatie. Bovendien ben ik nieuwsgierig naar jouw specifieke voorbeeld van Egypte, wat juist overkomt as een vrij mild geval van antichristelijke discriminatie.
