Hunter x Hunter 2011

At least he said he could go all day just using the insane speed boost. Maybe the heavy attacks he used against Youpi were too much. Also, though I'm repeating myself, he's still a kid. How long has he trained his electro attacks? Months? A year at most. And nobody can help him with it, since most people wouldn't be able to handle it.

I actually like it more that they would get tired instead of going forever like a duracell bunny. It's far more human and makes fights more exciting. The arc is already losing it, or lost it, with the King becoming a god. The last thing we need is all the others becoming mini-gods as well.

Yeah, I'm guessing either he wasn't fully charged to begin with, or the giant lightning bolt he used at the start to attack Youpi drained a ton of energy. Which would make sense, given that more range with an electrical arc means more...amps? Or volts? One of those two.

More potential difference, I'd say. That is, volts.

As for the argument about his ability, Electrifying his Nen is what drains his Nen quickly. I assume that in the same way Killua changes Nen to electricity, he changes electricity into Nen when he recharges. That shouldn't heal him by default, but he could heal using enforcer abilities if he's good enough with it.

Whether or not he can gain significant usage time depends on whether Killua's got good endurance to begin with. If he didn't, then it could be worked on. If he's already above average in that regard, then I don't think it would help terribly much since that means the electrical inefficiency is the dominant factor.

It's whichever one makes a tesla coil shoot really far without actually being harmful. I don't remember which it is.

I don't see how he could have a high efficiency yet considering he basically used such grand electric attacks now for the first time. I also doubt he had ever before used his electricity for really extended times under varying combat circumstances. He might have in the past tried how long he could maintain a simple arc, but that's vastly different from what he's doing now. He's not a super uber hyper ant who is born with all the abilities at 100%, so he needs to train for years, just like Netero demonstrated. Nor would his kid's body have as much basic endurance as an adult body (just look at what sort of a hulk his dad is).

Everybody who uses nen for anything concrete is turning their nen into something else. It might be just muscle power like Gon, or something more bizarre like bombs. Turning it into electricity is nothing fancy at all in that sense.

You realize though that bomb guy doesn't have to, like, eat a bunch of bombs after he uses his power, and why that's a huge benefit right?

Killua basically has an ammo limit on his power that can only be reloaded by external means, that other characters don't have.

Where on Earth was it said Killua can't recharge like a normal person, that is, by resting? I interpreted this merely as an extra option: Instead of sleeping like a normal person for 5 hours, he can stick his fingers into a power socket for 5 minutes.

Of course this is a moot point if Togashi is such a poor writer that everybody can go on infinitely without rest or food... But I want to believe that's not the case.

Fair enough, but, again, bomb guy's power doesn't run out after a couple minutes requiring the need to recharge.

First, I think you're overstating the issue. There's a difference between "going infinitely without rest and food" and "not being able to make it through a single battle without running out of power".

Second, I think we're past the point in the series where that's an issue. Can everyone do it? No. Can everyone that our protagonists are likely to get into fights with do it? Probably. I mean, Cheetu had a power that trapped an enemy in another dimension for 8 hours, and he was a low-tier enemy in this arc.
