Top 10 Best Hunter x Hunter Characters

It goes without saying that Killua Zoldyck is not only one of the most dynamic and well-written characters of the show but also has experienced some of the most interesting character development. He started off as a lost and confused boy who had just recently escaped from his previous assassin lifestyle and was trying to find a way to escape his fate. It was only through meeting Gon that he found his true purpose. He wanted nothing more than a friend. Someone to be there and to take care of because, unlike the rest of his family, he was able to feel true love and compassion for his friends and only wanted to care for them.

He eventually grew and realized he couldn't just follow Gon forever, so he decided to spend his time caring for his little sister Alluka, as the Zoldyck family wasn't giving her the love and attention she needed. Thus, he finally found his true purpose: to care for those in need. Through all the fighting and killing, all he ever wanted was to love someone.

He just amazed me with his calm and sensible personality, and at the same time, with his impressive fighting abilities which he developed himself. He also has a really sad backstory that had a massive impact on him as a person, and I really sympathize with him. Plus, he was able to destroy some of the spiders and make their leader stop using his Nen abilities, so isn't it cool? I wish there was more of Kurapika in the series. He is such a well-written character.

Kurapika should be higher than Killua. It's just that he doesn't get as much attention and doesn't appear as often as Killua does. As funny as Killua-Gon moments get, Kurapika-Leorio humor is much better. I wish there was more of Kurapika, and I was honestly just so bored of Gon and Killua at times that I almost ditched the anime.

I love Hisoka. He is the best character. I mean, could you say he isn't just PERFECT? I am not fully just a simp, though. I like him because of his everything - not his looks, but how he uses his words, and like normal people say cute, he says adorable. I like him because of... well, this needs no more explanation. He is everything to me. He motivates me to do better (in my mind, of course... haha). I want to be better for him. So yeah, he is basically my everything. He means a lot to me. I am Bisky, you probably know why... Both attracted to Hisoka... Haha.

I can relate to Gon when it comes to personality. I'm selfish, I'm childish, I'm stupid, and a lot more. Gon is just the best character for me, no matter how much someone tries to convince me why this character is terrible and I should like this one better. That one episode in the Chimera Ant Arc was amazing. It truly showed that even the nicest and most friendly characters that would just hurt an opponent rather than kill them showed their dark side that was hiding inside them all this time waiting to be released. I also like the Killua X Gon ships. Don't bother asking why. Their friendship is just so adorable.

Without a doubt, the best character. Despite being a villain, he got what I'd consider the best character development in the series, and you really sympathize with him. He's my favorite villain in anime and by far my favorite character in Hunter x Hunter!

How this guy went from a mindless killing machine to barely even wanting to fight Netero and wanting to protect and love a human is the work of the gods.

He was my favorite character ever since he was born in episode 91. Villains always somehow become my favorite characters. Like in Dragon Ball Z, how Vegeta got introduced.

Pitou is a character with so much depth and potential. It's crazy. She (sorry, but it's my opinion she's a girl) has a great design, and every scene she's in is great. She has the most iconic scenes. I wish she would stay around because her character developed in a positive way, but someone had to kill her. Anyway, I believe she could still come back as a protagonist with her abilities and such. Also, she had the most screen time and heart than any of the Chimera ants, so why would they kill her off like that.

I think Leorio should be a bit higher on this list. Throughout the series, he's been by Gon, Killua, and Kurapika's side when they needed him the most and deeply cares about them like family. Indeed, Leorio went and punched Ging in the face because he was such an absent father. Although he's not the strongest, he's a great character all in all.

Leorio is a different kind of character compared to the rest of the main cast. Even though he mostly contributes comedy to the show, he's really kind and helps the rest of the characters rather than being jealous of their combat skills. He's very relatable and plays a good role in the story.

The charisma that he has and the mystery of Chrollo's past are enough to draw anyone's attention. His quest for finding his purpose in life is straight-up relatable. Definitely one of the best anime villains.

Chrollo is mesmerizing. I remember falling for him the first time I laid my eyes on him. His mysterious aura is so alluring, and he just has that charming and charismatic way of talking. He is so damn fine.

If you can understand his character, then you will know what a great character he is. He is written so well and, to be honest, it is hard to grasp what this guy actually is, which makes him intriguing, terrifying, and amazing at the same time.

Absolutely savage, going from a kind and clever teacher to a warrior so powerful to fight the unbreakable Meruem and actually damage/semi stand up to him for a few minutes (nobody else even pulled off one second). Anyway, Netero, he's inspirational.

His Nen was very unique, and the fact that he still pulled his weight against an OP villain. Most unique character of the show and has some of the best quotes too.

I really like how he seems to be a nice mentor, but then is basically just as bad as Hisoka.

At first, I thought Biscuit was going to be "one of those girls". The type who's weak, frail, naive, and acts as if her existence is necessary. The type that has no interesting characteristics and is only liked for being cute. I thought she was going to be saved by Gon or Killua and they would have some sort of love triangle. Now that was stupid of me. I underestimated HXH for a second, and I came to realize that a well-written anime girl can be created and that Gon and Killua's friendship is FOR REAL.

I never would've thought that she was actually strong and that she would teach them! That was insane. I thought that having a girl character was unnecessary, but I came to realize that she's like a mother to them and that was it. I enjoyed her screen time. She was pretty cool and actually had something that consists of her besides her cute looks. She's a badass, and I like her a lot.

The temporary leader of the Phantom Troupe is absolutely terrifying in terms of combat ability, techniques, speed, and power. All of his observed skills were considered rusty and short of his maximum potential. Additionally, he is a Transmitter that demonstrated only 2 hatsu abilities of incredible force. Implying that he has multiple forms and abilities, he is more than formidable. His pain packer was a conjuration hatsu (80%) and the Rising Sun ability uses emission and transmutation (60% and 100% respectively). Finally, as an additional testament to his foundation in Nen, his skills in Ko, Zetsu, and Shu are masterful.

Alluka is one of the sweetest, smartest, and yet strongest characters in the entire story. I deeply felt her story and couldn't help but recognize how much she cared for the people around her, especially Killua. Everyone thinks she is only as powerful as she is because of Nanika, but I truly believe that Alluka could've become incredibly strong. After all, she is a Zoldyck. But no one ever gave her a chance. It wasn't until Killua came for her help that she was recognized at all! I truly believe Alluka was one of the best characters in the entire series!

He's an interesting character and has a lot of potential. To be honest, it's a bit unfair that there was so little of him in the series. That's why I would like to know more about him, especially his fighting abilities and maybe his upbringing as well. His control over Killua is creepy, although it's not surprising considering the family Illumi is from. I also really love his looks and interactions with Hisoka.

He is a really interesting character and I hope we see more of him in the future, especially since we don't actually see him in a lot of fights and can't see his true potential. But he is the strongest out of the Zoldyck family children, and Hisoka rated him a 95, given that Hisoka considered himself 100, so I suppose he has a lot of potential as a fighter.

He left a huge impression on me. Super strong and had helpful abilities. He's down for the cause.

This guy probably funds 50% of all dog shelters in his town.

Definitely my favorite female character. I wish she had a bigger role, but I always love the side characters.

She is not as strong as others, but I found her interesting, especially when she stitched Hisoka's arm.

Ok, first of all, she looks like Killua's sibling. Second of all, she is fine! Like Hisoka likes her, so she must be really strong and pretty too!

Sad ending and totally wasn't in the series long enough! I loved his clown staff and his overall design!

Kind of neat despite being the least interesting spider design-wise. He almost feels like the pseudo-boss.

I actually loved Ponzu's character, and she deserved a fair bit more screen time and definitely did not deserve to die the way she did.

They should not have killed her off. At the very least, they should have brought her back somehow.

She was too underdeveloped. If she had been around more, she would have been great.

Melody is that nice and humble friend who never claims any credit, which is also why she is so low on the list.
