EDIT: I've taken the liberty of cutting out around 40 seconds of the original video, so if the below addendum/apology doesn't make sense to you, that's why - it was for a part of the video that I got rid of. That edit is also part of the reason that some of the audio during the Alluka/Nanika section is a bit inconsistent. I'd welcome you to ignore most of what I say about Alluka/Nanika in this. Not only are some of my facts on the rules of her power wrong (apparently, I dunno. Rules aren't what I really concern myself with in stories), but the bit on her gender is just bad. I don't know what I was thinking during that part - I was being ignorant and naive, and I apologize for my insensitivity. Nothing about her biological sex is explicitly stated - and if Alluka wants to be identified as a girl, then that means she's a girl, and Killua's respect for that is as telling as the rest of the family's disrespect. That's all I personally need to know when it comes to that topic. We may know more about Kalluto in upcoming chapters. Something I didn't mention in the video: There is another Zoldyck that's mentioned in the story that I did not mention in this video: Zzigg Zoldyck. He is thought to be Zeno's father and Maha's son. He once went on an expedition with Netero to the Dark Continent and made it back alive. This also gives some explanation as to how Alluka could have been possessed by Nanika (or "Ai"). Perhaps he brought a Calamity back with him. ALSO: It has apparently been confirmed in a breather page in one of the most recent chapters that Nanika is indeed Ai. Kind of an anticlimactic way to reveal it, but meh. So there you go, Nanika = Ai confirmed.

[@siveret23]

While we are pretty sure with Nanika coming from the dark continent it would be worth to mention that it could also be an unconscious nen ability like Neon Nostrade with he fortunetelling. However, nen is a force of life that could be used by any kind of life, proved by quimera ants. In the world of HxH we haven't seen how animals would use nen because the use in quimera ants comes from humans nen users (at least the way they use it) but nanika could be with this theory a whole new approach for nen, not by humans or human-like creatures but by powerfull, strange and incomprehensible for us, coming from the Dark Continent. PD: I know that this is a pretty half-cooked theory but it would be cool that nanika is a nen abiliity and a creature from the dark continent. PD2: I don't know why but because it was said that in Netero's expedition died a lot of friends i thought that Zzigg died there and his wife was already pregnant when he went to the Dark Continent, i don't think the manga explicitly says that he died.....i stupidly jumped into conclusions :(

[@moragz97]

This theory just scared me bro

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

a picture of Zeno's father is shown in the Manga, and he doesn't look like Zzigg.

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

I am still not convinced that Alluka is male though, the Wikia and Databook list her gender as "male" but also contradict themselves, and say that Milluki and Illumi may have played the pronoun game as part of deliberate abuse towards her.

[@Aleczandxr]

Beni Habibi I'm so sorry, I accidentally just deleted your comment with the other question in it. Could you repeat it? About Alluka, there are 5 or 6 reasons stating why she is male, using what I thought was rock solid evidence. I don't remember where I found it though and I don't remember all of the reasons (I believe that once a non-Zoldyck called Alluka a he and Killua didn't correct him, and that was one reason) mainly because I'm sick of the whole debate really.

I've only recently subscribed to your channel and I must say, your in depth analysis of all my favorite games and anime are simply amazing. I'm hype every time I see you upload a video. I feel you on Fire Emblem Fates. Awakening is still THE best 3DS game to date though. also, your choice in music for your vids is GODLIKE

[@Aleczandxr]

Awesome man, that's great to hear. Thanks so much (and thanks about the music too, it's great to hear that people enjoy my choices!). Yeah, I was initially high on Fates but slowly realized that the "family tragedy" plot tool was mainly a gimmick. Shame, but ah well. Still enjoyed the games. Awakening had a better narrative though.

Beautifully dynamic when Hisoka and Illumi start teaming up as Illumi would kill Hisoka if he kills Killua and hisoka would kill Illumi if he kills Gon; not to mention Killua wouldn't consider Illumi a brother if he kills or prevents him from saving Gon. This is such a hecking good anime.

[@ismaelsonlins5824]

They're basically really fucked up versions of gon and killu then?

[@mary-nc3bp]

@@ismaelsonlins5824 theyre explicitly written to be foils to killua and gon. chrollo is a foil to kurapika too, making the 3 main "villains" be direct parallels to the 3 main "heroes". this is just speculation (not real so it's not a spoiler don't worry) but i feel like hisoka might kill off leorio to trigger gon back into action. the way he was contemplating on who to kill back when killua was bringing alluka to the hospital felt like really heavy foreshadowing. with leorio and gon's strong bond and gon being essentially out of commission without his nen, it feels like hisoka will grow impatient with him. there's no way he's gonna let gon go back and have a normal life as a kid now 😭😭 the asshole

[@mary-nc3bp]

@what's life? killua vs illumi would be sick and that's probably where his arc is heading with illumi trying his hardest to get his hands on alluka now. hisoka's more likely to kill someone gon cares about to trigger him back into wanting to fight him but their rematch is definitely going to be interesting.

[@AranelEruvyreth]

I think it's safe to say that most of Silva's seemingly "relaxed" attitude with Killua comes from A) The needle he had Illumi put in his head to control him and B) His confidence in Killua's conditioning. Silva is actually probably the most manipulative of them all. His father/son talk with Killua (which he admits he had never had before) was simply to endear him more in the eyes of his son. He believed that Killua going out into the world would ultimately end with him betraying his friends (either due to his conditioning or the needle's influence) and that Killua would eventually run home, broken, and ready to accept his 'rightful' place in the family. It seems he believes that Killua's desire to have friends and belong to the outside world is fleeting and will die when he realizes how different he is and that he can't be anything other than a Zoldyck. He also has his other children and his wife carry out the nasty stuff so that Killua would be afraid of/resentful towards them but he could by contrast play the doting father and win Killua's respect and affection. Subsequently, Killua is afraid of Illumi instead of Silva and is resentful towards Kikyo and not Silva. He is cold and calculated and no more than in the way he pretends affection towards Killua and orders his other family members to do his dirty work so that he can remain the "good cop" in their family. Because Killua is going to be his successor, so he *needs* Killua to see him as an example and look up to him. That makes him, in my opinion, the most insidious of all of them. He does genuinely care for his children in his own way, but only as they are useful to the family business and he distributes his focus accordingly. TL;DR: Silva is actually probably the worst out of all of them, it just isn't immediately obvious because he worked hard to make it so, all for the sake of Killua's development.

[@pugjuice8462]

THANK You.

[@a.m.s6611]

I love the families kind of collective 'oh dang' reaction to Killua having removed Illumis needles

[@wen771127]

You spoke my mind~I would add one more thing. You mentioned his first ever ground breaking father/son talk was to ender him more in killua's eyes. You're absolutely correct on that one. Also, he was asking killua about his friends, and we heard Killua told him about the fight between Gon and Hanzo (he probably told Silva more about Gon than this fight). Now, Silva knew the friend Killua was going to run off with is a naive, stubborn, and hot-headed kid with suicidal tendency. He knew in a dangerous situation, Killua would run because of the needle, and Gon would stay. Thus, he made killua swore never betraying his friends. He knew if Killua did run away, Killua would feel he doesn't deserve to have friends, and go home. (he also said if you're tired, you can come home anytime.) If Biscuit didn't point out the condition to Killua and had he actively fight against it, Or if Killua' love for Gon wasn't strong enough (Silva probably doesn't have any good friend to know), Silva's plan might have worked. Later when Killua returned home to save Alluka, and used Silva's exact words to do so. It was such a slap in the face for silva. Killua might not notice silva's plan, but still, lol. Silva had to let Killua to help Gon because that was his words. If he broke it, Killua would no longer respect him.

[@AranelEruvyreth]

@@wen771127 What an excellent addition thank you!

[@euqinemor]

Nah, Silva and Zeno are actually normal on their own way. The Zoldycks value friendship because they know the importance of it, having a real friend is not just someone to go to places, they know that sometimes shit gets rough and friends are there to help you. Netero is a prime example of that, Netero once fought Maha and became close friends with Ziggs Zoldyck and his friendship became a deep connection that was show on the chimera arc as Netero did not complain and knew how much of a impact hurting an innocent had on Zeno, if netero was all about the money and the mission he would have Zeno stay even if meant barely raising his chances of winning against Meruen using Zeno as a sacrificial pawn BUT NO, he just let him go. There's also the saying on the family that's "the job isn't worth the money", it's not that they are being underpaid, it's just that making a powerful enemy, killing someone that do not deserve it or going against a friend is not worth any money, they only do it because they are professionals but this does not mean that they are happy about finnishing the job.

have you noticed all silver-haired members of the zoldyck family are transmuters (killua/silva/zeno), while all black-haired members are manipulators (illumi/milluki/kalluto/kikyo) ?

[@Aleczandxr]

Yeah, good point. It's definitely not a coincidence.

[@MagneOldeide]

Kikyo is very likely an emitter I think. Even if it's not confirmed, Kikyo did fire a projectile at Canary when we first encontered her, and she is "quick to react in a volatile manner" and can be perceived as "quick-tempered and hot-blooded" If you buy in to the Hisoka-Nen predictions. As for the rest I think it's a great observation. EDIT: I Realize now that i was wrong, according to the "Hunter × Hunter Official Databook" she is listed as a Manipulator, i don't personally know enough about the Hunter × Hunter Official Databook, to tell if it's cannon or not, but i am guessing it is. The hair thing might have something to do with the prodigy child of each generation having whitehair-blue eyes, (Silva has blond hair in the 2011 anime, but I'll ignore that as a choice made by the animators). Killua-SIlva and assuming Zeno, were all prodigy children for their generations, all have white hair and blue eyes (zeno with a very faded blue), and all are transmuters. That's a really cool observation you made there Also you left out Alluka in this case, I guess you did so because we don't know much about her nen abilties, as in if they are hers or if it belongs to Nanika or both? Also she could be a manipulator, and still have specialist powers, like the reverse Kurapika, that has Conjuration and Specialist features. But I won't go too far into that :P

[@evilgemiosman]

its possible that could run along the same genetic strain... maybe?

[@soufian2733]

Toiler broiler well as you said, theres 1 prodigy born each generation and it was killua so this is my theory : alluka was born a manipulator (like all of her brothers except killua) but then got possessed by Ai the calamity at very young age which turned her into a Specialist

[@MagneOldeide]

+Soufian 27 Your theory is good, and i wouldn't be surprised if that ended up being the case.However, I have to disagree on one thing. I don't think you are born with a nen type, I think it's something you develope as you mature as a person. As we know, nen is tied to personality and who they are as a person(Your spirit). I might be wrong on this one, but I think your nen type is determined when you encounter nen for the first time (When Wing released Gon and Killuas aura during the heavens arena arc). (SPIOLERS: If you haven't read the manga) If you belive that nen type is not something you're born with, but rather something that you get when you first discover nen. You could make the argument that Gon won't have the same nen type when he re-learns nen, because of how he has grown as a person, especially during the chimera ant arc. This is however, just speculation, and i can't back too much of it up. Only thing i can say against the argument that nen might carry over, like a gene from a parent, is that Illumi, Milluki and Kalluto might have had a very simillar upbringing, unlike Killua that might have had more freedom thanks to his father. Alot of this is far fetched, and i can't defend this very well, but it is still something worth considering

And in the flashback photo in chapter 229, the one you mentioned, it's easy to see that the extra sibling in the photo seems younger then Killua but older then Kalluto.

[@pottedaloe9160]

Something I've been wondering about Illumi's character is whether his obsession with Killua might stem from being sidelined as the heir despite being the oldest. So that his attempts to control Killua, the legitimate heir, are in fact efforts to control the family's future, or grasp on to the power that he may perceive himself as having lost. And maybe he overcompensates the humiliation of being deemed "less worthy" as a son by trying to be the perfect Zoldyck in his protective attitude towards the family as well as carrying out missions to the tee. Now, this is just a theory since it has never been explored in the manga as far as I remember but I think it would make sense, as the cultural importance of the firstborn son is so prevalent.

While I genuinely think he has an unhealthy love/obsession with Killua, I definitely wouldn't doubt that this could be part of the reason for his actions.

he would have most likely died in all honesty , since if he can't land chain jail he probably can't solo most of the troupe members , it goes even more for chrollo .

[@peachpanda88]

We will never know I guess. I personally think Kurapika can kill most of the Spiders (maybe 50-50 with Feitan & Phinks) in a one-on-one battle except for Chrollo. The thing is Chrollo is also a specialist like Kurapika hence they aren't a good match as one of Kurapika's advantage against other phantom members is being a specialist once his eyes turn red. Kurapika also said it's hard for him to land his chain jail as they can avoid it in a millisecond hence why he have to ask help from Gon, Killua, Leorio and Melody and used darkness as advantage to capture Chrollo since he himself know that without it Chrollo could easily avoid his chain jail. So if I have to bet Chrollo will probably win that battle but he will not kill Kurapika and just left him there unconscious. The thing with Chrollo is that we never actually see him get serious in a fight yet. In his fight with Silva and Zeno he was merely trying to steal their powers. And in his fight with Hisoka even if he did win & killed Hisoka (before Hisoka come back to life!) you can see that he was still so chill and wasn't giving much effort. I actually want to see him get serious.

I like the entire family, including Milluki. I've had periods where I was allowed to be a shut in and not really need to leave the house, and I'd understand if he felt resentment for being a shut in. That'd be pretty normal. Not that the Zoldycks are normal by any stretch. I think he's a good representation of the vices of wealth, when your needs can be provided for. Laziness is a very difficult trap to avoid in that instance, and that'd explain why he's not a good fit to lead the family, according to Zeno. If he did lead the family, even in brilliance, and he got lazier then that'd be a problem. Tech support seems to be what he's best suited for and he doesn't resent that enough to deviate much from that. This video is fantastic too.

[@iellaq2696]

I also think it's so interesting how you can see the way the Zoldyck parents developed their training techniques. Illumi is essentially Silva and Kikyo's first "test subject" in terms of how they were to go about training their children, which would make sense for him to be THAT unfeeling and cruel - perhaps his training was taken too far, and they completely removed any trace of humanity from him. It is even stated somewhere, or at least alluded to the fact (I can't quite remember where but I do know it exists somewhere in canon), that even Kikyo and Silva believe Illumi to be a monster of sorts. That said, it would also make sense for Milluki to be the less successful sibling (or at least from what I could tell, considering he's clearly the sibling most overlooked, with the exception of Alluka); as his training could have been "too forgiving," and the least effective. Then, they moved on to Killua, where they found the perfect "middle ground" in their training methods. This could be another reason why Killua is favored by his parents, because he was the result of a perfected training regimen; and why Kalluto is just as much of a perfect assassin as Killua. It seems to me that Kalluto is the closest to what Killua could have become, had he not defied his parents.

28:33 unlike in the translation, Hisoka didn’t suggested that he’d kill Killua but that he’d do him which is also possible to notice because of the hand gesture

The only zoldycks I'm interested about are "ALL OF THEM"

[@jayjay1464]

To be honest Illumi is my favorite Zoldyck family member.

[@scarletivy2271]

same

[@jazmercado1107]

Samantha Scott Illumi is my favorite, period

[@yeastinfection6616]

PERIOD

[@kagstam7384]

Kalluto>>>>

[@idaphone8786]

Same here. I started watching hxh because of Illumi(I thought he looked interesting and hot) but I also relate to him sooo much that no one will understand. He just makes me feel like I’m not alone.

[@trrebi981]

Welp. Time to knock out and chill for half an hour.

[@theftking]

I love the Zoldyck family! They steal every scene they’re in! I’d love a spin-off series just about the family and their daily lives/missions/etc.

[@TalesOfNerdiaChris]

That breakdown of Milluki...fantastic. Very insightful and I love when you cover characters I don't think about. Another great video. And holy shit I feel like it was just recently you tweeted about hitting 5,000 subs and now you're blowing up. Well deserved.

[@Aleczandxr]

Thanks! I didn't realize how much I actually had to say about Milluki until I actually sat down and thought about him. And yeah, I really can't complain much about the growth I've seen since a little before Christmas, it's been pretty pleasing. Thanks again :)

I love illumi and i believe he had the worst childhood compared to his siblings ,since he was the first child for silva and kikyo, they tortured him soo much that he doesn't have emotions and always expressionless and even when gon broke his arm he didn't show any kind of feelings, silva and kikyo made him just a tool for killing and training the heir of the family killua, and i think this is way he loves killua in a twisted way💔💔💔

Lets start a petition to get Togashi to start Hunter X Hunter again!!!!

[@mrkuang88]

animenewsnetwork stated that togashi's wife will be taking over the drawing aspect while togashi tells the story. togashi main issue however popular the series is, he does not want an imperfect rendition of his series, that's why he doesn't just hire others to draw it out for him. hopefully his wife doing the drawings will be enough.

"all milluki does is stay inside, be gluttonous, watch anime and read manga" milluki is me

[@zarremozzz]

Milluki is also me

[@CGiles]

I really love illumi's character. I recognise he is a bad person, but a great character. He genuinely intrigues me the most out of all the HxH characters. I can't wait to see what Togashi has in store for him.

[@alphabloodpaw3233]

You get it bad people good characters I is so hard to find like that these days

[@legendary3952]

I wanna see more of Kalluto TBH he’s my favourite Zoldyck as I love paper manipulation for some reason and I find his character design interesting

[@coconutaem]

See, I’ve always referred to Alluka as Female and she prefers to be called that. Just like how I call Grell a female as she says she is also a woman. I’m actually pretty respectful towards people’s pronouns so it’s just how I roll.

[@kujikawathemeekmage3640]

Yellow Crayon - also you’ll notice the only characters who address her as Male are either villains or unaware of her. While Killua (who’s admitted to being the closest person to her) addresses her as female and corrects others I’m pretty sure later on

[@PeruvianPotato]

I like to think that she is actually a female but notice how everyone who calls her a boy are assholes to her as a form of shunning. Just a rather shitty theory I made up just to make things way less complicated

[@nialicious2]

@@PeruvianPotato It’s not complicated if you just look at how it is? Alluka is trans The Zoldycks (minus Killua) seem to be transphobic That’s it

[@daneverharen1694]

@@nialicious2 I wouldn’t quite just narrow it down to Transphobia, they just genuinely don’t see Alluka as a person, so they don’t care how she identifies herself, Killuas mom is just Transphobic though, I think a lot of the other family members think that Alluka is gone and all this is Nanika.

[@allhailthewhale1423]

@@nialicious2 alluka it's fucking two people. You don't think that would cause some confusion, especially when the zoldycks don't view her as a person. Why the fuck would you think she's trans when the obvious explanation is right is front of you. But you sit around on twitter and in youtube comments delluding yourself into thinking togashi is some champion of trans rights, when the only actual trans character he's made got grabbed in the nuts and pile drived into the pavement.
