Yeah, we've only scratched the surface of nen. It gets way more complicated and versatile as things go on.

Small spoiler but Netero's Nen abilities function more like a Stand ironically enough.

Then again, seeing as Hamon predates Nen by quite some time, it would serve to reason that Nen is naturally more multipurpose than Hamon, which so far has only demonstrated a significant degree of flexibility in the hands of Joseph. On paper, it definitely looks like Nen has the advantage.

I'm leaning more in the direction of Nen, since I'm not sure a Hamon user would have any natural defense against it.

I'd still pay good money to see that fight, though, no matter who won. Especially if Speedwagon provides commentary.

Personally, I'd be more partial to being a Hajikelist. Nothing like the feeling of subduing the opposition with something wild wacky and improbably.

In a scale of Shonen Jump Life Force, how would you rank them?

Dude. A defense made of high-speed attacks is just begging for someone with even more speed to show up and break it.

@ asia: What would be 1 (or 0) and what would be 10 on your scale?

I think the 10 on that scale is probably DBZ Ki.

I realized that my Killua Bill joke may have been more apt than I realized. If Beatrix hadn't killed Bill, he probably would have trained Bebe in the family business, kind of like Killua's family.

[up][up] Hm... Given how you've ranked numbers 1-6, I have a hard time figuring out what in Shonen World could top them aside of Alchemy/Alkahestry (which would at least qualify as an 8 or 9 given what you can do with it, even with the restriction imposed by Equivalent Exchange).

How does Chakra beat Ki? Does Chakra get to the point of planet-busting?

[up][up][up] Well, I said Shonen Jump only.

And I don't know any other forms of life force, so...

[up] I figured Chakra can be use in many situations other than destruction, like healing.

[up][up] I can kind of see where that ranking choice comes from, given what someone with the Ten-Tails inside of them can accomplish, never mind people like Pain and Madara being walking megaton bombs. And then there the main antagonist of The Last, who threatens a Colony Drop on the ninja world. Plus, there's what asia said about its healing applications, and it can be used for illusions and other purposes as well.

[up] Ah, shoot, that's right.

Fair enough. Versatility counts for a lot.

...would Stands count as a form of life-energy ability? They are born from the soul, or something like that.

No, that's just a rumor. Though you can use Hamon and a stand together, so the two are related in a way.

Anyway, I'm outtta here. Good night guys.

Considering that, in Part 3, DIO, who still is a vampire, has a Stand, probably not.

The mind tends to wander when you decide to tune out an episode of Naruto.

What if instead of a Cacodemon, it was a Kekodemon instead?
