For Ging, I think it's more like he didn't bother to avoid it, rather than take it on purpose. Taking it on purpose to make Leorio popular seems like too big of a mastermind plan. Ging probably considered it negligible.
I guess it's also possible that he never developed an ability and will just rely on his hatsu like Gon does.
In any case it's still really advanced. Most of the Emission attacks we've seen before were spherical and barely functional, so seeing him give it shape (being Emission) that easily is a big deal.
I'm not saying he didn't develop his hatsu, but there he just threw his Nen into the ground and navigated it to Ging's face. We've seen shaped aura being dismissed from users before (though it's usually performed by Transformation/Manipulation users and not Emission). It could still be his ability with aspects that we don't know about, but what he just did could definitely be performed using basics on an advanced level. I'd be more disappointed if this was his ability.ryan13ts said:I've never seen any basic usage of nen in the series that let anyone teleport their fist into someone's face. Hatsu's are unique to the individual so whatever the technique Leorio used, it's definitely a specialized ability he created.
Hell, after all the time he's been absent in the series, I'd be beyond disappointed if he didn't develop his Hatsu into a unique ability.
