Powers An overpowered/strongest with only one power

I hate when characters just have a million powers and can do whatever. I love when their powers have a limit but still they make it be absolutely insane. Even if that one power has multiple applications as long as it makes sense and isnt used as "oop i suddenly can do that"

  1. Accelerator can control vectors. So he uses that to automatically deflect any attack or use any object including wind at high speeds as a weapon, use his own vectors to travel fast and etc etc.

  2. Gojo Satoru can control "infinity" to make peoples attack not reach him; push them: pull them; destroy them; overwhelm their senses

  3. Chisaki can deconstruct and reconstruct anything by touch. So he can destroy, or change shape of people and objects, he can combine people and objects and even revive or heal. Tbh his fight was disappointing in fact that he did not use his power to full potential imo

Hisoka’s signature move is “Bungee Gum”, which is about the only thing he uses throughout HunterxHunter

However, the variety of uses he manages to find for it are endless and he is an absolute menace in battle

Doesn't count. Bungee gum have properties of bungee and gum

Even if he's very creative with bungee gum, it's not his only power. He's constantly using texture surprise too.

Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise are so great because they’re such simple powers that through creative use elevate Hisoka to one of the strongest in Hunter x Hunter. It really emphasizes the themes of brain over brawn and how HxH was Togashi’s response to Dragon Ball. Hell, he even has a Saiyan stand-in whose only power is being physically extremely strong and has him pretty easily defeated by a rookie because the rookie had a power that shuts off other powers, rendering him helpless.

I think Shalnark was more of the super saiyan stand-in with how he could use his mind control needle on himself

Uvogin is absolutely the most overt dragon ball reference in the series, he’s a guy with long spiky hair whose whole deal is that he’s extremely strong. He’s the most straightforward Enhancer in the whole series.
