His flaws lie in his impulsive nature and stubbornness. Gon sometimes fails to think things through and such actions lead to him suffering. Though possessing talent far beyond the norm for his age, anytime his abilities are challenged he feels as if he has to prove his antagonist wrong. He continually strives to obtain greater power, often becoming exceptionally stronger in his anger. But Gon's anger also leads to extremely reckless tendencies. When his emotions are ignited, Gon becomes irrational and completely oblivious to anything else. Gon's Nen type is Enhancement, which gives him his great strength and recuperative abilities. His Hatsu, or specific use of Nen, is called a play on the Japanese word for rock-paper-scissors, "Janken". When Gon throws out "Rock" it is an enhanced punch, "Scissors" transmutes a sword from his index and middle fingers for mid-ranged attacks, and "Paper" emits a ball of aura for long-ranged attacks. During his fight with Neferpitou, it appears that Gon entered into a Nen Contract in order to have "all the power [he]'ll ever have" and grew to an older age. After returning to normal thanks to Alluka Zoldyck's ability, Gon has lost the ability to use Nen. Gon is a popular character with fans, coming in third place in the series' first two popularity polls.
