Then, you probably should've worded it "aura is similar to ___ in Hunter X Hunter." Saying "aura is taken from Hunter X Hunter" makes it sound like you're accusing Monty of just stealing an idea from Hunter X Hunter.

Although these life energy type things don't all act exactly the same in various anime, they're inspired by a principle that people believe in in real life. It doesn't help that the beliefs don't always match up in our world. Someone who believes in aura will explain it in varying degrees of difference from what someone believes in chi would explain. In our world, things like aura, chakra, and chi can be seen as basically the same thing or having the same kind of base/nature, but act differently.
