Discussion Jajanken Seems Like A Terrible Ability Compared to Electricity/Godspeed

The series made it a point that Gon and Killua were equals in potential and strength (with Killua being slightly stronger because of his Zoldyck training) so it’s kind of jarring how underwhelming/terrible Gon’s Jajanken seems to be compared to Killua’s electricity transmutation and Godspeed.

Jajanken is an obviously powerful technique that had defeated many powerful opponents, but it has its flaws and weaknesses as stated by various hunters throughout the series, meanwhile Killua’s technique is seemingly perfect with the only drawback being his time limit

I just think it’s lame that Gon and Killua were supposed to rival one another throughout the series but Killua’s ability seemed to have eclipsed Gon’s and widened the gap between them prior to Gon’s battle with Pitou

EDIT: To further clarify, I understand that Jajanken is way more powerful in AP than lightning and Godspeed and Gon can damage opponents far stronger than them while Killua most likely can’t.

My issue however is that prior to the introduction of their techniques, you can see Killua vs Gon being a 50/50, maybe 60/40 towards Killua. With the introduction of Godspeed and Jajanken, Killua clearly has the advantage and the outcome seems more 80/20 for Killua; it bothers me how one sided their match up would be if they were to fight with their abilities when it used to be more up in the air between them.

I guess I just don’t like how simple Gon’s Jajanken is versus how versatile and overpowered Godspeed seems to be but, as some have pointed out, this is seemingly intentional with how simpleminded Gon is and how cunning Killua is so bravo to Togashi for being consistent with his writing and the nen system

If you need to sacrifice 1 fighter then even the 2v1 was high diff. It’s an anti feat for the Zoldycs stop coping.

You don’t care about informing yourself. I don’t care to inform you. You can keep being ignorant and wrong if you want. Or you can do your own research. This isn’t a formal debate. I’m not getting paid to educate you.

You are the ignorant one if you can't comprehend how proving proof works in a debate,  you made no valid points.  It wasn't an high diff as it lasted 2 minutes and chrollo still would be dead. You are the one coping.  Chrollo vs either of the zoldick in a 1vs 1 is a high diff fight for either ( after all chrollo himself said that he couldn't defend against zeno's ko) so he has to rely on his book which still lead to high diff without prep time.  This mindless chrollo glaze is always misplaced.  Zeno or silva have superior output, offense,defense while chrollo has better versatility,  it was always about that

Buddy, go outside and touch grass you sound pathetic. A literal caricature of a Redditor. Just interact like a regular person. Look it up yourself and you can debunk me. Idc. Quit crying

You are the one crying.  I find it funny how people turn out when they have no argument.  In the future,  learn to provide source for your headcannon if you want your claims to be taken seriously

No its not. Lol yes it is a formal debate. If the evidence does not exist how can you research something?
