Nen Ability - Tumblr Posts

What would have made Cheetu's ability work?

Alright let's be real. His ability was a flop, that isn't entirely his fault though. No amount of quick learning can make up for actual combat experience. He was used to killing average humans who couldn't or wouldn't fight back and only got experience with nen users 3 times.

When he fought with Knuckle and Morel, when he "fought" one on one with Morel, and we all know what happened with him and the Zoldycks.

So really he has essentially no experience really fighting a nen user unless you count him getting his ass handed to him by Knuckle and Morel.

The reason he's arrogant is because he's only ever had easy prey. When something is as easy as snapping your fingers, it isn't uncommon to get a bit cocky.

But you can't stay on level one fights once you're at level 20. You have to have fights on that level or a little above. Unfortunately he ran right past that and rather than fighting a level 25, he tried to fight a level 40 and level 65 at the same time.

If he'd taken his time and genuinely worked on his fighting skills and worked on unlocking his nen himself, he'd have had a better time. And it would've felt more rewarding.

If he had been working on his nen from the time word of what it was got out, and seeing as he learns fast and has energy to spare, he would have learned the basics with ease. If he'd really worked at it, he could have used en and would've been able to detect Silva before disaster.

Also if he'd created his own ability it might have been something he'd taken better care of learning it and tying up lose ends rather than a halfassed crossbow.

Because his ability was handed to him, he had a harder time than if he'd taken the time to make one himself. Essentially they gave a noob the coolest sword in the game and expected him to know how to wield it, all without armor.

And though he doesn't mention it, we know he's at least tried out it before. Leol mentions when he and Morel disappear that he activates his ability, that he doesn't know what it does, but that they won't be back for 8 hours.

This implies he's seen Cheetu disappear for 8 hours. Cheetu also says to Morel that he'll be stuck there if he doesn't catch him. We don't see anyone who might have had his ability tested on him though. But we know they didn't catch him because he still had his ability.

That means he probably ate their brain and got rid of their body somewhere else. We've seen in a previous episode that he only eats the brain. Neferpitou mentions it to be the tastiest part of the body, and Cheetahs are known to go for the best part of the meat.

Morel said during the fight that it was Cheetu's fault for making time limit so long even though he doesn't have the attention span for it.

I also think the time limit was a bit long, it should have been about 15 minutes at max. That and there should've been a consequence for not chasing him. For instance if you don't chase him for a whole minute, the game pauses and he is allowed to injure one of your limbs as much he'd like, including ripping it off, without the consequence of being tagged.

Once done, the game continues.

His end goal isn't to neutralize or protect himself from harm, it's to eat his prey and play with it for a little before he kills it. Just like a Cheetah.

Another thing is that the Savannah should be able to shut off the preys nen, but continue allowing Cheetu to use his nen. This way all he has to worry about is their physical strength. And it makes it more fun for him.

All of this would make his ability pretty advanced, so there should be some heavier conditions for activating it, but he shouldn't have the condition that he can't use it if he's caught.

He should have to know more info about the victim, and they have to be a nen user of a certain level. Making it so that someone he couldn't defeat with sheer strength, could be defeated in his Savannah. Someone too weak in nen, he should just kill rather than waste such an ability on, giving him more fighting experience.

And if he loses, he has to wait a certain amount of time to unlock it again. And he has to stay in the Savannah for an hour while the person is set free. This keeps him safe, but is a serious time waster when in a situation where time is of the essence. It also tests his patience. Sort of like a time out.

Put together, picture you're suddenly transported to the Savannah after fighting with him for a while. You have 15 minutes to catch him, and if you stop running, you could get your arm ripped off, and if you lose you'll be killed and eaten. Should you win by some miracle,(he's probably the fastest humanish guy in the world, over 200 miles an hour is pretty fukin fast boi) it'll likely be with some serious injuries, the least being a limb bleeding out, causing blood loss.

And depending how far from a hospital you are, you could bleed to death or pass out before help comes. If far enough away he could eat you after his hour is up since you're bleeding to death or unconscious.

Not like you could hide, the blood trail would rat you out and if that didn't he would have trained with nen for a while and be able to use en to locate you.

He should still use his crossbow though. It's good for general combat, but the bolts should be faster, and he should use in to conceal them, that way he can use them from a distance and be undetected.

The bolts should also reload as soon as one has been shot. Then he can use faster attacks rather than using one bolt and having to get up close with the claws.

With the improved abilities and actual practice with combat and nen, he'd be quite the force to be reckoned with.
