Join our discord: / discord
Hunter x Hunter is a shonen anime written by Togashi. It stars characters such as Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Hisoka, and Leorio. The world of Hunter x Hunter is full of mystery and conflict. As a result there are a ton of open plots- creating some crazy fan theorys. We're talking about these hunter x Hunter fan theories today. Everything from the Phantom troupe, to the origin of the Chimera Ants.

2:23 - I don't think anything *major* happens to Gon's arm in the York New arc, but... There is the whole arm wrestling 2 Phantom Troupe members thing. Shizuku's match doesn't leave Gon's arm/hand injured, but Nobunaga leaves Gon's hand bruised/bloodied after slamming it repetitiously. Certainly that's more tame than a broken arm or losing an arm entirely, but it does seem to continue the theme of Gon injuring his arm/hand in every arc.

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

Yeah, I completely forgot about the arm wrestling thing bc it wasn't as brutal as the other arcs. Still something tho, for sure.

[@ringu50]

One thing I would like to point out about the theory about the entire phantom troupe dying is that Togashi didn't confirm the troupe will die before the story is over. In the interview he was asked "What will end up happening to Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe?" and his only response was "They will all die." What Togashi says is likely layered as he's not going to casually throw around spoilers and it's possible he meant they will all die because they are human and we all die at some point and whether they die of old age or on the boat its how we interpret what he meant.

[@wadewilson8011]

Regarding the alluka being trans part, the zoldycks could be referring to nanika being the male, and alluka the female counterpart. Out of fear everyone talks about nanika because of "his" powerful abilities, but killua knows alluka more, so he calls alluka by "her".

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

That is a possibility as well!

[@LoverofChildren]

No, sorry. The butlers refer to Alluka as "Bocchama" in the JP dub when Alluka was young. I can't recall if Tsubone does that, but "Bocchama" is essentially a cute way to say "Young *Master".* Which very much cements 2 things. 1. Alluka was born male 2. Alluka is trans To top it all off, Killua refers to Nanika with female pronouns. He thinks of them both as his little sisters. In fact, the current youngest, Kalluto, dresses in a feminine way because he thought Killua loved Alluka *because* she is his little sister, and not because of how unfairly she has been treated. Though, I see why you would interpret it that way.

[@fr0stdr4ke95]

I think it is the reverse. Nanika is the female counterpart, while Alluka is the "male" counterpart Nanika could have wanted a female body to possess, and Alluka was the ideal subject for reasons we don't entirely know. Most of the Zoldyck family just sees Alluka's female pronouns as the influence of Nanika. In other words. Even Ai from the Dark Continent says Trans Rights.

[@idirbouchdoug1567]

i don't even see nanika as male or female , it's a gaseous lifeform i don't think it has a sex at all. As for alluka we already know for a fact that alluka is male biologically , it's just that killua is the only one in the family that cares enough to respect her wishes and treats alluka as a female as she seems more comfortable with that.

[@rocketjet5813]

Togashi is no stranger to Trans characters. I think it is pretty obvious that she is, and that's a good thing.

[@orekireika]

1999 killua being a perv was not so far off from the manga.. there's a page in Yorknew arc and the word "shibari" (binding) came up and killua was thinking of another "shibari" meaning (bondage) however the 2011 anime excluded that panel for obvious reasons

Another thing with the Spiders representing evil versions of bible characters, I feel like the same can be said for the Ant arc, where Pituo, Pouf, and the other guy (sorry I forgot his name) are the evil versions of The Three Wisemen, and they view Meruem as their lord and saviour or whatever. I’m Catholic so my brain just immediately thought if The Three Wiseman. I haven’t read the Manga yet but I’m excited to see if I can find more of these.

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

That's a dope connection, and I definitely see it to a degree. Out of curiosity, is there any group that goes by 14 in Catholicism? You'll see why if you read the manga

[@Chugahh]

@@ThisIsChris-Anime Not sure if this really counts but related to Catholicism there is a group known as the Fourteen Holy Helpers if you wanna read up on that, short version is the Roman Catholic Christians venerated 14 saints together because they believed these saints could help ward off and fight different diseases. *Spoiler ahead* I guess you could see this as the fourteen princes / princesses and their different special powers they got but I really doubt it and it seems far-fetched

The reason the Bungee gum thing became a meme is because every single time Hisoka uses it after the Heavens Arena arc, he says "Bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum". He never shuts up about it, and every single time, it catches his opponents off guard. Canonically, Bungee gum is supposedly a really powerful ability because unlike Killua's Nen transmutation, Hisoka's Nen transmutation doesn't take on the property of just one element (lightning), but takes on the property of two elemental concoctions at the same time (rubber and gum), which is not a simple task. For one to transmute their Nen into something, they have to be very exprienced with said something. Hence why every hunter's immediate reaction to Killua's lightning is their heart sinking into their stomach. But Bungee gum isn't JUST gum and rubber. In fact, and this is a spoiler for the manga, so please look away. I will add space just in case. Hisoka's bungee gum restarted his heart after Chrollo killed him, and then allowed him to repair his destroyed body after Machi reattached his hand, alongside his Tokkiri Teksucha, or Texture Surprise. Hisoka's Nen abilities are scarily intricate for being so simple on the surface, which is a testament to his natural talent, and developed skill, within Nen. Also, as for Pitou, Togashi himself said it's completely intentional. Pitou isn't meant to have a gender because they are above that due their nature of creation. So why aren't the rest Royal Guard treated that way? No idea, Togashi is psuedo crazy lets be honest. As for the Feitan thing, Zeno, Silva, and Killua, are all transmuters. The only manipulators that are confirmed in the Zoldyck family are Kikyo, Illumi, Miluki (according to an interview with Togashi when asked if Miluki had the ability to use Nen), and I believe Kalluto. This means majority of the (still living) Zoldyck are manipulators, but the ones with the most potential, are not. To top it off, Maha Zoldyck was an enhancer. Feitan Portor, is a transmuter. That being said, I doubt that the Zoldyck would just ditch a family member in Ryuusei, esp when Feitan now is massively skilled and far beyond even Killua. In fact I'd say the only Zoldycks stronger than him right now are Zeno, Silva and Illumi, but being that Feitan's power seems to be some kind of absorption and redistribution of damage, Illumi might well not be able to take him down. Not to mention, Chrollo's MO is being a blank slate who takes on the properties of others. Meaning there's is little to no chance that Chrollo can't also use the abilities that Feitan can, as long as they aren't Nen specific. As cool as it would be for Feitan to be a Zoldyck, I don't see it either.

[@Zooms]

[@strangevessels]

That Spider tattoo being conditional nen could be interesting though. This is all just thoughts: Chrollo being a specialist, it's possible he could have a second ability to loan some of his overall power into his troupe members to make them stronger as long as they have the tattoo. Would kind of fit with the reverse jesus and his disciples theme too. like a pact with the devil. maybe chrollo's forehead tattoo is another condition of it. But if it was conditional nen, and a troupe member died, I feel like the tattoo would disappear and the power would return to Chrollo.

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

Interesting theory! I guess only time will tell at this point :)

I'd say its wrong because hisoka was allowed in without them seeing him gettin a tattoo. As in they let him go somewhere to get a spiders tattoo. So yeah.. They didn't even see if he'll actually do it or not

On the York New 9/11 theory: the events of that arc do occur during September, with it ending on September 10th. Also, the tankoban of the final chapters was released November 2001, however the chapters would have been published earlier in SJ I think? Anyway, my point is the climax of the arc would have occurred on or slightly before the actual 9/11 attacks. All in all a spooky coincidence.

[@Meerkat5]

Awesome iceberg video! I can't believe I missed all those Yu Yu Hakusho Easter Eggs, it's my second favorite anime of all time, second to HXH ofc! Also btw, the Chimera Ants are from the Dark Continent. You are onto something by noting how difficult the trip across Lake Mobius would be. Which leads into the theory that Pariston and Beyond worked together to get the Chimera Ants to the V5 in hopes Netero would have to give his life to defeating the ants. With Netero dead, Pariston could become Chairman and Beyond can explore the Dark Continent. Although with each new chapter this theory seems more and more likely. The secret labs might have to do with where the corpses that came back from the Dark Continent are being held, as well as the containment cells holding the first book Don Freecs wrote, and the only survivor of the Dark Continent calamity labeled Zobe Disease

To clarify the last item, the first shot we see of Yorknew in the 1999 anime was essentially just New York. However for some unknown reason, the city is depicted with just one of the two Twin Towers in the opening that replaces Ohayou. (The first opening of 1999. Yes, 1999 has more than one opening for its entire run. Unlike 2011.) The next point is from the Greed Island Arc. Both manga and the OVA. It is specifically stated when Gon asked an old guy inside Greed Island that it was September 11, 2001. Really it was just two really unfortunate circunstancial mishaps. One by the 1999 anime crew (they're still awesome tho. Still the better anime adaptation) and the other by Togashi himself. This of course leads some people to speculate some sort of conspiracy, even though none of these people could've predicted such a tragedy could occur.

[@autumnalgloom5360]

I think Neferpitous gender boils down to the fact that the whole chimera ant colony probably only has a single true female: The queen. Even Zazan, who tried to split off and deemed herself queen couldn't bear any children and had to corrupt humans to build her hive. The oddity that chimera ants of later generations resemble their original souls body so well means that certain drones have very feminine traits while being technically not female.

[@AllendeEtAl]

The theory about Kurta Clan being from the Dark Continent missed the fact that... All humanity is claimed canonically to come from there also. So...

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

When is that stated?

[@thewakandankingtchaka5331]

It was never stated nor confirmed but it’s a strong theory regardless because of the ancient ruins found in the dark continent. Possibly dating back hundreds if not thousands of years. It's akin to finding the cradle of humanity in the real world. Kurta coming to the known world is also a strong sign. If they can so can others (and why magical beasts exist when there are also normal animals). It could be that humans came there earlier on and the Kurta clan are ancient humans that evolved in the harsh environment while the rest of humanity was safe but never had the urgency to evolve so drastically. Same story for animals too.

[@thewakandankingtchaka5331]

There are so many hints to guess that Beyond indeed had a hand in doing this knowing the outcome of the queen being an ant king which might finally satisfy his father’s wish. A twisted form of selfish love. Plus it was hinted that the queen had hints of human dna, by the size of her. Why didn’t she know humans are the best nutrition at at point when she get colt and Reina? Possibly because human were fed to her in a lab? Or she was an offspring? To her being able to actually talk? We have seen small chimera ants before and they didn’t had the ability to talk… plus while she was confused about names that her children (squadrons) wanted ,she still named the royal guards and her son Meruem despite that and pondered if she might have distant human dna too as they do All the way to Beyond’s travel to the dark continent and what he may have found in the uncharted path he wasn’t supposed to take and what calamities he revived in turn. To the ant queen may have drifted from Kakin empire as it was to the east as well. In fact we know of three travels to the new continent out of hundred and all were of Issac family, 2 by Netero and 1 by Beyond - and we know of 3 calamities conveniently. The Ai Nanika, the Zobe immortality decease that dates back at least 50 years and The chimera Ants (keep in mind the 5 calamities are what’s known from the journey to the east book, there are possibly more) and the safe paths traveled there are retracing the steps of the writer’s and the ants could be a possible addition in the future to that list. Plus Netero’s reaction during the ant arc as he knew he would die even before the birth of the king and seemed disappointed? Was it cause they actually might end the mission before the birth of the king like Knov said and not meeting his fateful companion in battle or … was that also a look of sadness? Knowing that this is a plan put to motion by his very own son to end his life…

just like to make a small correction to the hisoka hand sign thing. The hand sign is actually typically one finger over and is used primarily targeted at women. And because he did it like that, it could lead to one of two meanings, either he really did mean to kill, and he kinda killing. well yk. or he did mean… grape, and simply moved a finger over as killua’s a boy. Personally i think it’s the second given how hisoka is.

[@evahxh]

doesnt the "quwrof" spelling come from the hunter encyclopedia, which is not canon/written by togashi?

I was surprised I didn't see the Shalnark is a kurta theory here since I think it's pretty popular There is a *lot* of holes in it, but I think it's a cool concept... but I don't think he would have scarlet eyes. Maybe he was put in meteor city because he didn't have them, and instead of having brown/black colored eyes, he had an unnatural tealish color, and because of the kurtas most likely superstitious and protective nature, they put him in a place where nobody would have found a trace of the kurta clan. That's my take on it at least. (on a similar note, I don't like the feitan zoldyck theory lol) I was also surprised that I didn't see the Illumi = Hisoka one, since it has a lot of backup to it and it's very popular, but I won't go too into it. I really love the Sheila = Pariston theory too. Nobody ever mentions it, but another supporting factor is that kurapikas one-shot was made right after the chairman election arc where Pariston was formerly introduced (instead of just being mentioned as the vice-chairman), and that kurapika and pariston are kind of connected (kurapika being the rat zodiac and all, pariston making a point to compliment him) but they conveniently have not met. To me, the whole thing with pariston reaching out to the phantom troupe is somewhat of a stretch, but I do think that meteor city and the kurta clan are historically connected in some way. (if this is true, it would make it even more interesting if Shalnark was a kurta) The phantom troupe did make it a point to leave their home's motto at the crime scene... were they fulfilling some sort of grudge for their city? Who knows. I also came up with a theory myself (somebody else might have said it but idk), I think that the gatekeeper on the dark continent may be the original kurta clan, as the gatekeeper was stated to be a clan, but that's really my only evidence, as well as the fact that since Kurapika is heading there, it would make for a hell of a plot twist (along with him finally meeting pariston). Who am I kidding, though I love theories and I think about hxh all the time, so the combination leads to this kind of stuff. I love the video!!

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

Yeah, I completely forgot to include the Hisoka = Illumi theory. Glad you liked it tho! That gate keeper theory is really interesting! I def think there are still Kurta on the dark continent as well.

[@kewpiesensei]

i think the feitan theory still could be valid because he could have a different father or mother and killua abd illumi might have never met him

There is a theory that Gyro will be the great enemy of humanity while part of the cast will be on the dark continent. Gyro returned as a chimera ant, more powerful than ever

[@coballard5334]

Wait till we find out that Feitan's hair is silver but he dyes it black.

[@rayanpapayashayan38]

it makes sense that the chimera ant queen was brought from the dark continent by beyond netero, as the queen conveniently had human dna, so its ancestors must have somehow eaten humans or she might have been genetically engineered and given human dna. Also it's placement in the NGL was incredibly lucky as the NGL was the only place in the world where the chimera ants could eat humans without being instantly exterminated by firearms, as no technology is allowed in the NGL. Beyond netoero might have secured some of the chimera ant army along with pariston.

[@sebastianwhite1097]

Gon's arm gets kinda messed up from arm wrestling Nobunaga in the York New arc. Togashi really hates Gon's arms.

This video confirms that I'm probably the #1 fan of HxH. literally nothing you said that I didn't know. in fact there are a few things that need correction. But for the most part a lot of your theories **UP UNTIL TIER THREE** are in fact have been proven. Yeah, I've read the manga, watched BOTH animes, Google, Wikipedia, IMDb, Fanfic, fanwiki, if it's out there, I've seen it. HxH will always be my favorite anime of all time.

[@poppers7317]

But did you know that bungee gum possesses both the properties of rubber and gum? edit: I didn't.

[@snunie]

this is my favorite video ever fr but filler content is cannon the whole point of it is to show the personalities and build relationships between characters 😭

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

It's not cannon, but I wish it was 😭 it would add so much more texture to some of the interpersonal relationships, but if it didn't happen in the manga it's just not cannon :/

[@Riccardo-kw5dc]

The Ants are from the Dark Continent this is confirmed in the manga, they are a B level threat there. They came is small form from an expedition and only became dangerous because they got out of hand eating increasingly bigger animals, you could remember the scene in which Kite is guarding a nest of small ones when Gon and Killua arrive with accompany.

[@AndrewManook]

Yeah the B ranking is for the small version of the chimera ants, the only reason they got this big was because they were in the human world.

[@Riccardo-kw5dc]

@@AndrewManook still even the King and the Royal Guards won't be that much higher. In the end a cheap atomic bomb was enough to kill them, so they weren't an enormous threat to the big Nations

The spider tattoo theory is easily debunked when Hisoka just takes his off meaning its probably just a normal tattoo Wouldn't Chrollo know whether or not hisoka's was real if it was his nen?

I think the 17th century theory is that maybe because the Dark Continent arc has parallels to the discovery of the Americas, in the sense that Europeans didn't know it existed and the few people that did go at that time reported all sorts of weird fauna and flora with high levels of threats (eg huge snakes, forest dwelling lions, piranhas, insects etc). So the Dark Continent sounds like how someone from Europe would describe the Americas

i think the theory about komugi originated from the scene where after they both die, there is a cut to two gungi pieces. one saying commander(or something similar) and the other one is "spy". it might just be two random gungi pieces but it still arouses suspicion.
