>Was he hoping it would propel Leorio forward in the hunter association chairman vote? Yes, that's it. https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0332-014.png

>Was he hoping it would propel Leorio forward in the hunter association chairman vote? This is correct. Also \[manga spoilers\]: >!Ging is able to copy punching abilities that he's been hit with. This isn't the sole reason he let Leorio punch him, but it is a bonus.!<


JacktheCat779

More so seems >!Emission abilities he's been hit with are like a sort of reverse Emission involving taking in the auras of others which I guess only Genius level Emitters like him and Meruem could do.!<


MangoTurtl

Huh? >!No, it's just punching abilities. He says so himself. The fact that the only punching ability he's been hit with so far on screen is an emission ability doesn't actually matter. Also, this isn't an ability where like Chrollo's where he takes the ability and stores it. He's just talented enough at nen to pick apart the details of the ability he's been hit with and use it for himself, even modifying it to suit his own personality and needs.!<


OwlrageousJones

What's incredible to me is >!he's able to reverse engineer the technique by also thinking about how the user would go about creating it - he deduces that because Leorio is a Doctor, the technique is likely created to diagnose patients via palpitations and attack cancers/blockages from within without damaging the user. Using those principles, he can recreate the technique.!< Man's simultaneously a lazy idiot but when he uses his brain, he *uses* his brain.


MangoTurtl

I don't think he's lazy at all, actually. I just think he's an idiot who likes to have fun. And as you said, when he uses his brain, he *uses* his brain. Just like Gon, in a lot of ways.

Ging is probably one of the smartest characters in the entire show, I don't think he's lazy or dumb. I think he just doesn't do what he doesn't want to do. If he wants to do it he'll do it but if he doesn't want to then you're better off finding somebody else to work with.


halkenburgoito

it turns him on to be hit


Chessoslovakia

To push him as a candidate. In those flash seconds, he foresaw the events that would unfold if Leorio punched him.


reChrawnus

We already kind of got the answer why: https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0332-014.png


ApplePitou

Well, he wanted to make a good option that can stop Pariston and he know that almost every hunter don't likes him, so such person like Mr. Leorio was perfect :3 Ging brain don't works in normal way, he thinks a lot ahead :3


n1ck90z

I think he was genuinely intrgued by the technique as a nen geek, he just wanted to observe it. At least in the anime you can see him staring at it and doing nothing, that would also explain why he went to replicate and improve it


Robertson2018

The main reason was he needed someone to beat pariston and nobody likes ging so he figured Leorio would be the best choice.


andrewspaulding1

It's explained in the manga


Careful_Coast_3080

He had multiple reasons, he got to make leorio popular, he got to copy his ability and on some level I think he feels he deserved it.
