Hunter x Hunter 2011

[Carnage]

But I am saying those who shit their pants just by sensing his aura are indeed weak cowards. The chairman One of earth's top 4 nen users didn't do that.

Keep in mind, Kite/Killua/Gon faced Pitou before (s)he even knew what nen was. There is actually no reason to believe Knov is a pussy, considering he's dealt with every other opponent just fine and he was handpicked by the chairman himself, which should say something.

Like I said before, we don't know how scared Killua really was because he was suffering from the brain needle effect.

Killua's needle forces him to retreat from dangerous situations. He was psyched out long after he was in any danger.

Gon surely wasn't.

That's because Gon our shonen protagonist, and this entire story has been him not backing down from anything.

They are working to save the world of men, so dropping out of the fight because you think you might not be dominating the fight is cowardice and nothing else.

No.

I don't even know anymore what I'm commenting on, since your comment was somewhat lacking in the sense department, but who cares.

Just go back one page and see yourself, you said:

That doesn't actually mean anything...being one of the top hunters is a stretch...I'd like to think that aside from the chairman and very few others, the organization can't really send any strong people anywhere, only mediocre ones who either are interested in gaining an office in the organization or have no ambitions of their own.

...

Who knows. We haven't actually seen Pitou fight against tough opponents. Gon was even willing to challenge Pitou and was only stopped by Killua, who was still under his brother's brain implant control. We know now Knov is a coward, so we are sorely lacking references.

I originally said Kaito must have been strong to have fought well against Pitou. You insinuated otherwise, posting that we can't make that claim since we don't actually know how relatively strong Pitou is by arguing "lack of reference". I presented references, then you forgot your original claim entirely. Wasn't hard to try.

But you presented absolutely no references of any value! Because we have very few of those. The chairman was weak because he was rusty (or old). He has said as much himself. But the fact he's planning to somehow deal with the king means he thinks he can shake off some of that rust and then compensate some with experience.

We never saw Kaito fight any really serious fights. My main argument against him is highly biased because I think his main technique, summoning the utterly stupid clown thing, made him far weaker than he needed to be. Yet he could fight against Pitou for a while so naturally he's stronger than Knov, who was missing his mommy before he even saw Pitou.

But yeah, I hate on a fundamental level the whole your aura is directly proportional to your battle prowess thinking, so I doubt we will ever see eye to eye. I prefer the delinquent measure of who's standing last is stronger.
