| ~ Machi to Hisoka |
Machi is member number 3 of the Phantom Troupe and character in the Hunter X Hunter series.
Background []
She is a founding member of the Troupe five from Meteor City. The people who live there do not exist on any official record, and the existence of the city itself is known to very few people. Machi and Hisoka met and, therefore, she was hired by him to put his arms in place after the battle against Kastro at Heavens Arena. After healing Hisoka's arms, Hisoka teamed up with the rest of the Phantom Troupe in Yorknew City to steal all the items in the Underground Auction.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Immense Strength, Stamina, Speed and Durability
- Muscle control: Machi has excellent control over his muscles, preventing Killua's hand from reaching his vitals and then holding him in place. She seems to be able to close her wounds by contracting her muscles as she has no blood showing on her clothes, even though her chest has been punctured.
- Improved Agility: Machi can run along the sides of buildings and easily jump horizontally from one to another. She can also easily scale several floors of a building in a matter of seconds.
- Nen:Nen is the ability to use the user's vital energy, or aura, and manipulate it. Machi is a Transmutation user, so she can change her aura properties to mimic something else or just specific attributes.
- Ten:It is the ability to prevent the aura from leaking out of the body once the aura's nodules are opened and instead contain it in and around the body. Ten prevents the aura from leaving the body, which allows it to maintain youthful vigor and age at a much slower rate. It also acts as a defense against physical attacks and emotional Nen attacks full of malice.
- Zetsu:Stops the flow of your body's aura completely, closing off all aura nodules. This makes them more difficult or even impossible to perceive or feel. However, this means that the defense to any Nen, Ten attack is taken down, making it a major risk to use. Zetsu can also relieve fatigue because it interrupts the use of the aura.
- Ren:It focuses on producing a greater amount of aura than Ten and projecting it out violently. The user exudes a large amount of aura that enhances all their physical abilities, such as stamina and endurance.
- Gyo:Is an advanced Ren application whereby a Nen user concentrates a large part of their aura on a specific part of the body. It increases the strength of one part of the body but leaves the rest of the body more vulnerable as it is a less protective exchange but greater amplification in a particular place. It is often used to improve the perception of seeing Nen structures hidden by the use of In .
- In:Is an advanced Zetsu application and makes its aura unnoticeable to Nen users who can see the already invisible Nen, even an extremely powerful aura is hidden. It hides the normal five senses and even extrasensory perception from Nen users. Em can be seen by Gyo.
- En:is an advanced application of Ten and Ren in which a user extends the aura around a certain distance using Ren to extend their Ten aura to shape it, usually a sphere. The minimum requirements for En are to extend the aura two meters and hold it for one minute. Anything inside En is instantly detected by the user.
- Shu:Is an advanced application of Ten and wraps objects in an aura, allowing them to be used as an extension of the user's body.
- Ko:Is a combination of Ten, Zetsu, Hatsu, Ren and Gyo to focus the user's aura on a specific part of the body.
- Ken:Is an advanced application of Ten and Ren. It is primarily a defensive technique through the use of extended Ren. Ken defends the entire body equally. Can also be used as a miniature En.
- Ryu:Is Ken's use of Gyo in active combat, assigning aura percentages to different body parts when necessary.
- Nen Threads: Machi's Hatsu causes her to transmute her aura into threads to manipulate her target's movements like a puppeteer. She can also use them to capture, strangle, or slash enemies. The strength of the threads is inversely proportional to their length: a thread the diameter of the Earth would be as strong as cotton, but a meter-long thread could lift a ton. If the threads leave Machi's fingers, his ultimate strength drops significantly.
- Nen Stitches: Machi is able to create threads that can be stretched without limit of his aura and can only be seen using Gyo. These threads can be used to sew open wounds and even to reconnect severed limbs completely quickly. From what she said after reconnecting Hisoka's arm and since the mage could move his fingers immediately after the operation, it's reasonable to think that the points also have moderate regenerative properties, whether revitalizing dead cells or stimulating the production of new ones.
Feats []
Strength []
- Took sixth place in the arm wrestling between members of the Phantom Troupe.
- Easily decapitated a person using his Nen threads.
- Should scale to her fellow Phantom Troupe comrade, Bonolenov, who created a massive crater (266 tons of TNT)
Speed []
- Immobilized Gon in the blink of an eye as he tried to flee from Pakunoda.
- Quick enough to fasten her nen string to Uvogin while he was being pulled quickly by Kurapika's chains.
- Reacted quickly and captured Gon even after being kicked by Killua.
Durability []
- A kick from Killua did no damage to it.
- Has excellent control over hwe muscles, preventing Killua's hand from reaching his vitals.
- Despite multiple fractures, she was later seen moving, breathing and speaking normally.
Skill []
- She was able to sew up Hisoka's torn arms.
- She managed to throw a needle at Uvogin so as not to lose his location when he was captured by Kurapika.
- Machi noticed that she and Nobunaga were being watched by Gon, Killua and Leorio
- Even though Killua went through her chest, breaking a few ribs and tearing the muscle, she still managed to contain him by keeping Gon trapped.
- Machi was stated to be able to make a string which could wrap around the globe (58.7 kilotons - 2.1 megatons of TNT for strength, Mach 452.5 - 2715.1 for speed)
Weaknesses []
- The longer her strands, the weaker they are.
- If the yarn itself leaves your hand, its tensile strength drops significantly.
- Zetsu involves keeping the aura exclusively in the body, makes the user Nen more vulnerable to physical attacks and Nen, because you don't have any aura outside the body to protect yourself.

- Machi appears to be the only member of the Troupe aware of Hisoka's Texture Surprise ability.
- Machi's color palettes in both Hunter X Hunter animes are different.
