WHAT is Beans?

Beans has always been some sort of enigma in the HxH universe.

Whether people were interested in his backstory, how he met Netero or how he received his secretary job, none of those questions left the fans with any answers when reading/watching HxH.

However, one of the most repeated questions that fans were all curious enough to know was if he could even be considered human.

Of all the characters that we have seen so far (including the ones after the anime), Beans is the only “human” whose appearance is drastically different from the others.

His appearance left some fans skeptical about whether or not he’s even a person to begin with. This was also the reason why many decided to start their theories about his odd character.

And as they were speculating, they came up with two major possibilities.

1) Beans is a Nen user.

We are aware that he used to work for Netero so he may have understood the knowledge of Nen thanks to him which can, on some occasions, change a user’s appearance if they wish to do so or if it is simply part of their nen ability.

Examples such as these are the following: Bisky, Cheadle, Marione, Saccho, Muherr, Pekotero and many more.

Since characters can use Nen to twist their appearances, we can assume this could be the reason why Beans looks this way.

Perhaps his nen left his physical appearance permanently altered to accommodate better.

But if the first possibility doesn’t suit your taste, then the second one will surely attract your interest.

2) Beans is a creature from the Dark Continent.

The Dark Continent, as we know, is a massive undiscovered world lying just beyond the borders of the known world.

Many creatures coming from this horrific place have either been calamities or unnamed beasts that have yet to have an assigned classification.

Fans have theorized that Beans could originate from there.

Since Netero once ventured into the Dark Continent, he must’ve met Beans at some point and became interested in him. Seeing that every beast he was passing by was too dangerous or horribly unexplainable to bring along, Netero could have seen something in Beans to make him want to take him to the known world and teach him about everything he needed to know to become a proper human citizen.

As much as these two theories attracted the attention of many, fans were glad they finally had somewhere to start when it came to dissecting his case.

But although they have at least found two possible answers as to WHAT Beans could be, none have found a good explanation as to why humans in HxH don’t see anything wrong with his physical appearance.

For Hunters, it is at least believable that they wouldn’t question or be skeptical of Beans for looking this certain way since nen users are aware of the fact that Nen can change someone’s appearance if they do or don’t wish to do so. But what truly bothered the fans wasn’t why hunters were not being suspicious of him.

What they were confused about, was why were the normal citizens not wary of him. For the people that do not know Nen, how can they not be concerned or possibly terrified of his appearance?

The Hunter applicants (excluding Hisoka and Illumi), who received the number tags don’t seem to express any reaction or shock when they meet him. It’s almost as if no one appears to care how or why he looks this certain way.

If we take a look at his 1999 counterpart, he has pink skin and what looks to be a bald head.

In the 2011 however, he’s completely green which lets us see more of his inhuman proportions as well as his unusual face.

It is unclear whether Beans is a human or some kind of harmless beast (if that can even be possible) from the Dark Continent.

What we do know about him, is how he looks very knowledgeable about human culture as well as the language.

It is still uncertain as to how hunter participants did not express any reaction upon meeting him when this oddity could very well help reinforce the theory that he could simply be a nen user.
