Leorio's 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva
Aura needles that mend broken flesh at a heavy physical cost to the healer.
The 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva is the signature Nen ability of Leorio Paradinight, a Hunter specializing in medical applications. Rooted in Conjuration, this technique allows Leorio to manifest needles made entirely of aura that possess potent regenerative properties when inserted into wounds. While Leorio aspires to be a doctor who saves lives, his combat utility remains secondary to his healing role within the group.

Lore & Background
Throughout the Hunter x Hunter narrative, this ability serves as Leorio's lifeline during critical moments in the Yorknew City and Chimera Ant arcs. It represents his dedication to medicine over hunting, proving that support roles are vital for survival. The technique is not merely about closing wounds but restoring functionality to damaged nerves and muscles, though it demands immense stamina from its user.
In Their Own Story
The rain battered the ruins of Yorknew City as Leorio knelt beside his friend. Blood pooled around a shattered limb, dark against the gray pavement. With trembling hands, he focused his aura until fine needles materialized in midair, glowing with a soft white light. He didn't hesitate. Driving them into the wound, he gritted his teeth against the shock that raced up his own spine. The pain was sharp, but the healing began instantly.
Reader's Guide
Leorio conjures slender needles composed of condensed aura rather than physical metal. These needles are inserted directly into injured tissue to accelerate regeneration and stop bleeding. The ability functions as a specialized Conjuration that mimics medical procedures. It can repair broken bones, knit torn flesh, and alleviate severe pain almost instantly upon contact with the target's aura field. However, the technique carries significant limitations. The process drains Leorio's stamina rapidly, often leaving him exhausted after major healing sessions. Additionally, there is a feedback mechanism where the user experiences physical strain or pain proportional to the severity of the injury being treated. In battle, this ability was used to restore Killua's combat capability during the Yorknew arc and to treat Leorio's own critical wounds during the Chimera Ant invasion.
