The ultimate sad fact is that HxH is still on hiatus.

the saddest fact about hunter x hunter

[@ghostspder]

the saddest fact in hxh in my opinion is about illumi. he’s the oldest, meaning he was probably the “lab rat” for his parents’ torture methods, seeing what worked and what didn’t. all of that abuse made him psychotic and basically emotionless. he truly loves his siblings, but he wasn’t ever taught how to love correctly, and believed harming others was a way of love, which is why he and hisoka get along.

[@SashMash]

honestly there's so much to talk about with illumi!! feeling inspired to write an essay about him and the zoldyck family

[@Nasipecel_pedes_pol]

Ok this is random (and long) but reminds me of hbo series "succession". If you don't watch, the story is about abusive wealthy family (Roy's). The difference is the oldest son actually cares and love their siblings despite all neglect and abuse he receive. I feel like zoldyck and roy family have a little bit resemblance even tho on different business and world building.

Another sad fact about Hisoka: In the 1999 anime, a character that represents togashi himself in an episode stated that Hisoka was poor as a child. The only thing he had for food was "bungee gum" which he would chew for days even after it lost it's flavor.

[@baguette3025]

Kurapika thinks he dosen't have anywhere or anything to return to after he's done with collecting the Scarlet Eyes Kurapika has to constantly see the remains of his dead family and friends get sold and collected like treasure after they were brutally murdered and tortured for those remains, and yet he still has to face the guilt after using violence to rightfully get them back from the monsters who own them Chrollo dosen't understand himself despite constantly trying to figure it out, and he has no fear but instead full acceptance of death The Kurta clan members were tortured in front of other members to make their eyes more scarlet, so children had to see their parents tortured and killed in front of them and the other way around Shalnark wasn't able to focus on fighting Hisoka due to seeing Kortopi's severed head in his own arms Machi is deep down a softie and has some kindness inside of her, but when she was trying to show a bit of that kindness and stich up Hisoka's body as a thank you, she was attacked by him and had to watch as he departed to kill Kortopi and Shalnark Illumi got tortured so much that pain dosen't faze him at all, even in the slightest. He describes the process of changing his appearance with needles as incredibly painful, and yet he reguralry does it without even the slightest change of facial expression. Meanwhile the Hunter Exam bodyguard was in so much pain from just his face changing shape that he couldn't move and instantly revealed Gon's location Netero's hard work and gratitude led to him obtaining the ultimate combat power, but instead of bringing him hapiness and fulfillment, it only brought him over 60 years of boredom and emptiness due to not being able to find any strong opponents Pouf died a painful death from poisoning that destroyed his body from the inside while also feeling extreme mental pain due to the King remembering Komugi, despite all of Pouf's hard work to prevent that Pitou genuinely thought that she can heal this "Kite" person that Gon was talking about, because she didn't remember who he was and didn't know that he wants her to heal an already dead person. Because of that she was actually sorry that she couldn't help someone who listened to such an important request of hers, and instead had to even kill him. Then she got brutally murdered by the same person while trying to protect the King Battera spend most of his fortune on Greed Island copies in order to one day obtain the Breath of Angel card and heal his comatosed wife, but after a decade of trying his wife died right before someone actually finished the game and obtained the card Neon died sometime after the Yorknew City arc, so she was either killed by her angry father for not being useful to him anymore or by her father's enemies due to their jealousy of his success Zepile got in debt with some shady people in order to give Gon and Killua the money for their entrance fee to the underground auction, and if he didn't pay the money back they would take his organs, so he decided to take the Hunter Exam to sell his license and pay them back, but Killua prevented him from passing which means that Zepile possibly lost his organs and even died if he didn't find another way to pay off his debt Pitou was the only Royal Guard to accept Meruem's human side and his love for Komugi instead of trying to forcefully change him, and yet she was the only one who never got to learn his name Komugi grew up in poverty and her value as a human was only based on how well she performed at Gungi tournaments, she was treated so badly that Meruem saying she's not bothering anyone and is and important guest were the kindest words she ever heard The Phantom Troupe founding members grew up in a literal dumpster after being thrown away like trash. Some don't even know their date of birth The victims of the Chimera Ants were caputred into a kingdom of monster insects, kept in a storage like food for a dew days and then had their skin and all their meat ripped off from their bodies while they were still alive Palm had to have sex with Bizeff for her mission Bizeff regularly trafficked young women and used them as sex slaves Gyro suffered so much at the hand of his father, that he started feeling like he isn''t even human and the entire world despises him, like he's not supossed to be on this planet, and as a result his hatred for the world was so great that even getting eaten by the Chimera Ant queen didn't stop him from spreading evil, but he was instead revived with the same form that he had as a human

[@RandomGirl785]

I love your extremely disturbing/sad facts 👍

[@MorganetheEliatrope]

For the Phantom Troup, it never was said that those who didn't get their fortune (which necessite their date of birth) don't know their date of birth, actually, I've read in some facts about Feitan that he probably just didn't want to share it, so the others probably didn't want to either, I mean it's kinda convenient for them since no one except themselves know a thing about them, keeping things secret is more enjoyable for them since that way they can be "surprise" opponents due to the fact that nobody can actually have any info on them unless they've met them, I mean, they're criminals who don't have any mercy on their victims, so the lack of infos about them may not be a probleme for any of the troup member, only for their poor victims who don't even know who is killing them

[@sophiaerren8253]

Some characters that should be added: -Nobunaga lost his childhood friend and combat partner Uvogin.Theyve known each other the longest of the troupe. -Uvo died because he wouldn’t betray his comrades -Pakunoda does for her boss while in a fair exchange she would’ve exchanged him for Killua and Gon. Machi lost a dear friend(Paku) The rest of the troupe also lost four of their comarades. -Feitan doesn’t know what family is.Also look at his power. -Shizuku doesn’t mind dying for the troupe -Bonelenovs clan is extinct similar to kurapika tho we don’t know much. -The troupe members could loose the one thing they care about:the troupe. -Chrollo grew up surrounded by trash piles -Pitou was the first royal guard to acknowledge Meruem human side and his love for Komugi,and saw him as a person rather than the king,yet never got to learn his name.

[@VaquOfficial]

Chrollo dosen't understand himself despite constantly trying to do so Machi is deep down a softie and has some kindness inside of her, but when she was trying to show a bit of that kindness and stich up Hisoka's body as a thank you, she was attacked by him and had to watch as he departed to kill Kortopi and Shalnark Shalnark wasn't able to focus on fighting Hisoka due to seeing Kortopi's severed head in his own arms

They could not protect Meruem, they could not protect the other guard, they couldn’t return Komugi to the king, and if gon is to get his nen back, her sacrifice will also mean nothing.

I think Hisoka was never meant to be taken seriously as a representation though. Togashi is very open about homosexuality ( he said he wanted to make a story where everyone is gay lol). Hisoka was just meant to be a fun character, I don't think he was made with any homophobic intention.

[@SashMash]

that's part of a long-standing problem actually: having silly villainous characters be q-coded as a mockery of lgbt people. it's just unfortunate that togashi decided his q-coded villain should also be attracted to children, as this is a prevalent homophobic idea (see some of the justification for current anti-trans legislature). i do agree though that it was a thoughtless decision rather than something done with malicious intent

[@kylesmith7956]

@@SashMash Don’t know man. I don’t think he is sexually interested in children, but rather it’s the potential of children that he is interested in. The more talented, the stronger, the more strong willed they are at a young age, the more interest he takes in killing them once they have fully matured and reached their potential. He even said that Chrollo turns him on, that was also because of his strong desire to fight and kill him.

[@princeteall2833]

​@@SashMash I don't think he's meant to be a representation at ALL. Hisoka is a villain written to be a creepy villain and not just so hxh has a gay clown in it. If Togashi did this creepy villain trope to multiple q-coded characters in the show, then that's homophobic. But it's just for Hisoka.

I see some people complain and bash Leorio’s character, because he’s ‘weak’ and ‘useless’, but they forget Leorio doesn’t have the time on his hands like Gon or Killua, he actually has to study really hard to be a doctor WHILST learning nen and then somehow trying to balance out the two. Also, obtaining and possessing a nen ability and enhancing it the way Gon and Killua did (also if you include their natural talent as a whole) is EXTREMELY rare and Wing even explained his disappointment when he forcefully had to rush the basics (because Hisoka blocking the way and they only had 2-3 hours to get past him), and he also told Zushi that they are 1 out of a hundreds of millions. Most ordinary people like Leorio and Zushi learns nen at an ordinary and slower pace, but even being able to learn nen and obtain such powers is incredible! You gotta love how in the Yorknew Arc Leorio didn’t even know about the 6 different categories! Then in the Election Arc we see him use his Emitter abilities and give Ging the most satisfying punch ever in history! I love Leorio so damn much and I wish people would take him more seriously (sorry for the long rant)

[@IhaveloveforPink]

I have a sad fact about a few ig Gon: gon was left by his dad and raised by his aunt mito. Except, mito raised gon out of pity. It soon came to the fact where gon grew to be curious about his fathers location, he then became a hunter. All the hard work and almost dying at least 4 or 5 times just to find out his own dad doesn’t want to see him. And gon’s rage almost cost him his life, and his motives kept changing throughout the show because notice that almost every season he loses someone and risked his life for them even if he knew they were dead. Gon cannot accept that. Killua: killua is probably one of the hxh characters who went through a lot of emotional physical and mental damage. He was raised to kill and tortured daily to the point where he grew to think it was normal because he never experienced a normal loving family nor childhood. When killua and gon became friends killua saw gon as his light and he always tried his best to put his life into keeping his light glowing. As we all know, killua is somewhat suicidal about the fact that he betrayed his first ever friend/loved one, he was also willing to do everything in the chimera ant arc before the fight, (SPOILER) he almost risked his entire life after the fight with the ortho twins. Illumi: illumi was often seen as emotionless, overly and creepily obsessed, and strong. Illumi obviously became emotionless for a reason, which means the family probably tested their torture for killua on illumi. As you can see illumi doesn’t have friends and he’s a loner, he hangs out with hisoka for business purposes. And gon came to killua and brought him freedom, the only thing that killua and illumi don’t have in common in this situation is that. . . Illumi was never brought freedom

yeah, togashi unintentionally played into the "lgbt people are basically child predators" idea by combining hisoka's q-coding with his attraction to children. you can even see this idea being spread about now with how usa gvts are trying to take away trans peoples' rights, claiming trans people are intent on (sexually) abusing children. you are more than welcome to continue enjoying hisoka though- he is a really fun character beyond this!

[@barathrum3107]

I don't think Togashi wanted to make a relation between homosexuality and child abuser. And he's not hated by other hunters because of his demeanour, he's hated because he's a murderer (and a child abuser). But what upsets me a lot is the people (especially girls) that defend Hisoka and his disgusting behaviour. He may be "cool" to some extent, and maybe he has a painful past that made him that way, but that's not an excuse to defend him. Sad fact about Pakunoda: In her last moments, some of her best friends threatened to attack her because she didn't bring back Chrollo. Yet she entrusted them with her last thoughts and gave up her life for them. Sad fact about Uvogin: Even though he died smiling because he wouldn't betray his friends, he died not knowing how much they loved him and respected him even though he was harsh with them sometimes.

Sad Fact with Gon : His dad never came back with the milk

[@ellmrasogota6432]

In one of the movies, killua felt like he betrayed gon and thus attempted to end it. His bond with gon is higher than his own life which was shown again when the rabbit ant (sorry I'm not that great with names) was tryong to target gon (or almost to gon) and killua was literally beaten into a pulp until he removed Illumi's needle. If he didn't remove the needle, it would've had him killed

[@13gondolla37]

So, out of curiosity. What do you guys think of Hisoka? To me he appears as less of an accidental homophobic stereotype and more as a commentary on the types of antagonists you see in a lot of shonen (some which definitely were homophobic stereotypes). It seems easy to forget that a lot of the bad guys in what was meant to primarily be anime for kids were cartoonishly dressed adults obsessed with fighting children. Hisoka always seemed like a deconstruction of the tropes.

[@SashMash]

i agree he is an interesting and subversive antagonist. but, him being sexually attracted to gon and killua together with his flamboyant nature (old school q-coded villain) makes for a thoughtless combination because of how lgbt people have been viewed historically. that's the only point we were trying to make.

[@13gondolla37]

Well thats what I'm saying. I dont believe it was thoughtless. I think this character was intentional as a mirror of the tropes. Togashi has made a lot of queer characters. Not all of them have been great but they've always been explorations of lgbt+ concepts way before it was cool or common. Heck he married the lady who made sailor moon and we know very well that she had a lot of interest in exploring those topics too.

It's very common to address powerful beings as a he even tho they don't have a gender.

Alluka was dehumanized and was locked up in 1 room. The only person out of everyone who really cared for Alluka was Killua The fact that Kurapika's whole 127 people in his clan died, sad enough and Kurapika riskes his whole life for revenge just because of that Gon, as a protagonist looked very evil an cruel & antagonistic after seeing Pitou for the second time. He let his emotion get the best of him and seeked vengence on Kite. ALMOST dying in the process & caused Killua to risk being sent home OR his life to save Gon. Gon probably cant even use his nen anymore. Hes really a daredevil im telling you. Meurem finally deciding to be a kind and humanistic (bc of Komugi ofc) ant but then dying as soon as he changes, thanks to Netero Killua basically living with assassins, said to be the best even tho he does not want to, Had a million years of torture. Leorio really needs to be featured more in this series. The fact that out of nowhere Leorio is being elected for chairman, not even wanting to be there. The fact is, he is working towards being a hunter AND a doctor. Kalluto joining the Phantom Troupe just to try to find his older brother, (Killua?) and the way she calls himself weak hurts me. Killua probably does not even recognize Kalluto as a sibling. Neon loses her nen ability due to Chrollo. Kurapika having to witness Neon play with Scarlet eyes and the daunting look on his depressed face. Kurapika at the end of the series with the scarlet eyes in front of him, not responding to Leorio's calls when his phone is literally in his hand. Seems like losing the Kurta Clan had a big affect on him. All the sad facts I can think. (for now)

[@Ekeu]

@@MorganetheEliatropeik your comment is 4 months old but Hisoka killing Neon would remove a skill from Chrollo, possibly a tactic to weaken him. But that doesn't make sense entirely imo because Hisoka wanted Chrollo at max potential (if Neon was killed before deathmatch). if she was killed after deathmatch by him, it might make sense..? Hisoka seems to have gone into full-blown salty loser mode to the point he wants the entire spider dead, so removing Neon from the picture might make sense since Hisoka knows her ability can tell the future (so Chrollo could likely use it to find Hisoka again). in fact, when Shizuku asks about it and Chrollo admits it's gone, she wanted her fortune told likely for that (or a similar) reason - so Hisoka has more or less removed an extremely useful tool from Chrollo's skillset that could hinder his own plans.
