At 5:30, If I had the job of giving subtitles to this, I'd just flip the table at this point, haha. I'm going to sound like Knuckle explaining his own ability here, so no worries if you feel like Gon and it just all converts to steam from brain overheating, but I'll try my best. Okay... so, depending on how you look at it, either the most amazing or the most terrifyingly frustrating thing about Japanese writing is that writers have the ability to use the meaning and pronunciation of characters separately, with some degree of creative freedom. Togashi takes this to a rather absurd level multiple times, including here for Knuckle's ability. He writes it 天上天知唯我独損, which itself is already a really corny pun. The phrase it's playing on is 天上天地唯我独尊, tenjoutenchi-yuigadokuson, which means unbridled narcissism, or literally that the only thing from above the heavens to the earth below that I respect is myself. But then Togashi changes the 4th and 8th characters to different ones that are pronounced the same way for effect. The 4th changes it into "greater than heavenly knowledge," and the last change, the new "son" in yuigadoku-*son* (損) means to suffer a loss. In other words, "you will suffer a loss of greater magnitude than even heaven could know [+punny business]." But he's not done. Then he decides to pronounce that whole thing as "hakoware," which literally just means "box smashing", but it's the word for the Japanese cultural equivalent of breaking open the piggy bank, so this hugely elaborate pun is named after a children's word for running out of money. ...I swear this is a learnable language and people really would enjoy speaking it, haha.

One of my favorite things about Nen is the insight it gives us into a character's personality. Knuckle's ability gives us a lot of information that viewers would be able to pick up on even if we knew nothing about him, with a couple examples being: a. it seeks to disarm the opponent rather than kill them b. the opponent is able to return interest, ensuring that the better fighter will win (which contrasts with abilities like Illumi and Shalnark's which seek to control others) Just from those two characteristics alone we can tell that Knuckle is compassionate and merciful (not wanting to kill others) and is also honor driven and generally prefers to defeat his opponents by landing more punches rather than entirely relying on deception.

That is as incredible as it is insane. I love it, but thankful I wasn't the translator assigned to the project. Also my respect for Knuckle went up even more
