About Intelligence in HxH and Ging
The Question of intelligence in HxH arise here from time to time and peoples debate who this most intelligent character?
Now,The term intelligence is highly debated term in real life itself so it is hard really to define.
But I want talk about something,in HxH,when Togashi want to hype someone's intelligence,he usually do it in 3 ways:
Either hype/show his acedemic abilities/feats(Usually but not exclusively by Learning languages(Chrollo,Kurapika,Ging) ,there is also how he hyped halkenburg),or show his cunning/street smarts(like hisoka or Pariston or Beyond or Ging) or hype/show insane Nen potential/understanding/Feats...(tserriednich/Ging/Gon/Killua...).
Now about Ging,What I find impressive about Ging is that he is the only one who showed very very impressive feats in all the 3 types:
academically,even though he is self taught,he is better than a professor at Varvard,street smart?He manipulated the whole Election?and I don't think I need to talk about Nen,He is by far the best Nen User So Far.
