Chrollo Lucilfer's Theme - 1999 vs 2011 (HUNTER x HUNTER)

A comparison between Chrollo/Kuroro Lucilfer's Themes from the 1999 and 2011 versions of Hunter x Hunter.
Which one do you prefer?

[@jessalazergirl601]

I think the 1999 version represents Chrollo Lucifer, and the 2011 represents the spider as a whole

[@zack01598]

Jessa Lazergirl good interpretation

[@bunny3552]

so 1999 ver is better

[@vicentesalazar6627]

i think the same

[@simplythebest286]

fully agree !!!

[@newcontentin100years9]

@@bunny3552 no because Chrollo thinks of the spider of himself, he has an identity crisis. Thats why 2011 portrays him well if you you this interpretation

[@freecroissant311]

1999 - Creepy 2011 - Epic

[@mvmed12]

1999: mysterious 2011: mozart kinda copy

[@cartooncottage2024]

I think they are both epic.

[@senyacinema]

1999 sounds very mysterious and wise 2011 sounds more like a psycho who just likes chaos and death

[@Luzbel809]

And Chrollo is represented perfectly well by those two statements.

[@bigcucuman6515]

Well the voice actor is the same as Kira death note

[@soldeirokker2695]

Both versions are good in their own ways and i love them both

[@ichi9617]

I personally like both. They fit him very well, with the 1999 version showing his calm and calculating side, while the 2011 version reveals just what he can be like under the mask.

[@idkwhattoputhere5503]

I agree

[@BadAssMacmillan]

It's interesting how the two themes represent two different sides that exist within Chrollo.

[@jennadurbin3538]

1999 had such a mysterious aura to not only how Chrollo was portrayed as a character in the anime, but in the music and the manga. It really brings out who he shows the world he is. Quiet, calm, collected, and most certainly organized. 2011 however might go back to his past as a child in meteor city. This theme focuses less on him as he is portrayed but more who he is on the inside. The loud, dangerous and frightening choir music symbolizes his need to be a thief and to wreak havoc. This shows he was the man who created the famous and deadly twelve legged spider. Not that he was simply the head.

[@_Night6wl_]

Chrollo is my favourite, his character complexity intrigues me even more. In most points he is very relatable.

[@ghostofdeath7388]

I wonder what's complex in his character

[@hunnerboi8561]

How is he relatable?

[@whyamihere7745]

Hunner Boi i think he’s saying he’s relatable to himself, most people don’t have the specialist personality type

[@ghostofdeath7388]

@Pirateplayz the guy seems like he's lost or something

[@Luna-qu4id]

yes too. but i rlly hate it that hes not gonna be shown anymore after he saod he musz find one who can get kurapikas nen out of him. i joped we can see him again but noo....

[@Eldon_Dice]

The first one -- coupled with the images -- make Chrollo out into a messiah like Jesus figure. It's eerie how the picture with him and the rest of the Phantome Troup resembles Jesus and his apostles. Hisoka = Judas

[@sv4647]

Ohh, Damn

And they are 13

[@braddmcgarry5414]

1999 - calm, eyrie and sinister. 2011 - epic, chaotic and just amazing

[@janjan794]

Both sounds like Light Yagami’s theme...they have the same voice actor with Chrollo

[@deersiong]

and the same composer

[@sabrinachrollolucilfer8996]

1999 represent Chrollo better,and in a way make me want to cry,I grow up with the old version and hearing Chrollo old theme make me understand that he suffered so much in his childhood which make him a deep man with twisted personality today

[@Pp.lolita.dollie]

It's hard to choose, cause the 1999 shows his calm, cool and side, while the 2011 shows his father insane and cray cray side

[@KefkaFanatic]

They both work for our impending wedding.

[@hannahmary6023]

Hahah

[@pluto9837]

The 99 version theme is just superior. By just listening to it u can predict what it is trying to tell u about Chrollo's character, even without knowing nothing about him. An enigma of a character, mysterious, lost, luxurious, struggler... It's just perfect.

[@mohabalserafe3795]

1999 fits the chrollo and only him while the 2011 fits with spiders group as a whole

[@Aze.11.]

1999 is a masterpiece love the old anime in 2011 he dosnt look like him anymore. I prefer the 1999 and best character for me

[@freecroissant311]

Gacha_Weeb -3- I miss 1999 Version I never ever seen it I love chrollos 1999 theme

[@ItsIbishiki]

They are both masterpieces

[@MCManny-jc5zb]

God, the 1999 version reminds me of candle wax and smoke. It's so sad, yet ominous... Like being locked inside a cathedral and seeing something move in the dark. I think it works better as a soundtrack, meanwhile I'd hear the 2011 version at the opera. Both are good.

[@katsunAC]

Both amazing. Like 1999 Shows how people say he is and 2011 shows how psycho he can be

[@carlos2535]

2:03 anyone feel like they heard this theme before I do cause I feel like I was little I heard this I think

[@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou]

Mozart’s lacrimosa?

[@irmabag9474]

Mozart Requiem Dies Irae. Requiem is a Mass of the dead and Dies Irae is the main hymn of it translated - "day of wrath" or "judgement day".

[@sno4019]

I think its ost death note kyrie

[@peterblake3000]

i like how hes the opposite of Sensui from YYH who had 7 personalities whereas Chrollo debatably didnt have a personality because the spider itself was him

[@sabrinachrollolucilfer8996]

1999 theme can be called in my opinion the smell of death which suit Chrollo Lucifer personality better

[@jarbackk447]

I like that both themes fit with each version’s artstyle

[@Antioxidantz_]

The 1999 theme was like Chrollo was a priest then the 2011 one sounds like he's literally ready to kill every last person on earth-

[@arturoclark334]

2011 hears like mozart's requiem

[@illuminatedtriangle5871]

Both are amazing and I think that both show a part of his personality. Mysterious and thoughtful, but also dark and sometimes chaotic ~

[@carlosmerces]

2011 = The Spider Theme 1999 = Chrolo Theme 2011 doesn't have a theme for chrolo.

[@latiaos11]

There's something very interesting about the themes they picked for this arc. Both in 1999 and 2011 are very VERY similar to music composed for christian mass, like Mozart did. This is heavily hinted in the 1999 theme as it's choral and use religious cadencies (a recurrent patern of notes, wich are characteristics by the mood they seem to give.) Same in 2011, Riot is pretty much a Dies Irae (google mozarts dies irae, or Verdi dies irae, extremely similar. Riot even has "Dies Irae" in it lyrics, and Requiem Aranea is ofc requiem mass inspired. All this factors make me think these were composed to represent the conflict between Kurapika and the spiders, more than a single character or group theme. All these pieces are reference to conflict, judgement and death. Wich is very much the core of Kurapikas mision.

[@tenzingbhutia7725]

I feel like for chrollo theme 2011 “Dirge from the Dark side” fits him more I think the theme you included here was more for the spiders (they did use the music when feitan and Franklin annihilated the auction) Dirge from the dark side was used in most chrollo theme (him sitting down and hisoka watching him and when chrollo appeared vs The Zoldycks)

[@kilgorekatze]

I can’t be the only one who prefers the 1999 VER of hxh instead of the 2011 one the 1999 one just the characters have more emotion and the expressions on the characters are just better you know

[@anushkaunnikrishnannambiar512]

I'm with you! I started watching Hunter X Hunter from the 2011 version, but whenever people talked about HxH 1999 they said it was no match to it, bad animation quality.... & What I hate the most, they said Gon is a Crybaby in HxH 1999!! But when I watched HxH 1999 I JUST LOVED THE 1999 version SOO MUCH! I don't care if people say my taste is bad.... But actually both the versions are so different... & Especially Leorio in the 1999 version, they actually showed that he was capable of being a Hunter, but the 2011 one doesn't show much about him... The 1999 version is also worth watching! Even though there is quite a difference in the Greed Island arc of the 1999 version... If HxH 2011 is my heart, then HxH 1999 is my heartbeat..

they are different actually. Chrollo’s theme is like AAAAAAARANEA and Uvo’s Requiem is like EE AYYYYYY OH that’s how i remember them at least. but the fact that you got them confused highlights one of the problems with the 2011 theme.
