Compared to other boys' manga, "HUNTER x HUNTER" has an overwhelmingly low incidence of female characters. Not only are their appearances low, but there are no women in the main roles either... So, with the debate over who will be the main heroine of "HUNTER x HUNTER" constantly brewing, we've taken a look at who is likely to become the next main heroine.
A love triangle between Gon and Killua?! Bisky
Bisky is the character with the highest appearance rate in "HUNTER x HUNTER." She appears almost throughout the Greed Island arc, and compared to other female characters, she has more merchandise, including figurines. Even if you're not familiar with "HUNTER x HUNTER," you've likely seen her alongside Gon and Killua at least once. Furthermore, her strength attracts the interest of Gon and Killua, and they gradually become closer. There are times when she and Killua clash, seemingly at first glance like a lovers' quarrel. However, if there's one thing that makes her less than heroine-worthy, it's that she's in her 50s and has a muscular body... If you're into mature women and muscular women, then maybe that's fine?
The ultimate tsundere girl! Machi
Beautiful, pink-haired, and a bit of a stubborn girl, but kind and shy deep down... Machi is what you'd call a tsundere. Based solely on her appearance and character, she seems like the one with the most potential to be the main heroine! Also, since she is a member of a rival organization (one that her friends hate), if a romance were to develop between her and the main characters Gon or Killua, it could lead to a Romeo and Juliet-like development. However, what is overwhelmingly lacking is any interaction with Gon or Killua. Even in the story, they may catch fleeting glances, but they have never spent even half a day together. They hardly ever have a conversation either. If anything, her relationships with Chrollo and Hisoka seem more likely to develop, so it may be difficult for her to emerge as a main heroine from now on.
Gon's ex-girlfriend!? Palm
Gon's ex-girlfriend, Palm, is also a potential main heroine. It's not uncommon for a relationship to rekindle after a breakup. Also, while her usual appearance is quite intense, the contrast between her appearance and her beautiful appearance when properly dressed adds to her heroine-like qualities. However, her strong personality, which rivals her appearance, is a major drawback. She has a negative way of thinking, is prone to hysterical outbursts, and has many potential downsides. However, given the recent trend of Mococchi, the high school girl protagonist of "Watamote: No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular," being considered cute, it doesn't seem impossible for a woman with a dark side to become the main heroine. If she gets back together with Gon, or if there's progress with Killua, perhaps she could secure the role of main heroine in the future?
I Love You, Big Brother! Alluka
Let's not forget Alluka, the cute, younger sister character with the power to grant any wish! She loves her older brother so much that she even kisses him, which has made many Killua fans enemies. Killua is usually cool, but he's doting on his cute little sister, and watching their interactions is soothing. Furthermore, Killua's father, Silva, has stated that he doesn't know where Alluka came from, so it's possible that she's not related to Killua by blood. A step-sister who loves her big brother...she's likely to emerge as the main heroine. Gon also considers Alluka his "savior," so it's likely they're somehow connected. I'm excited to see how his relationship with Alluka develops!
Summary
While "HUNTER×HUNTER" features many fascinating female characters, it can be frustrating that it's unclear who the main heroine is. However, depending on your interpretation, the fact that you can consider your favorite female character as the main heroine may also be part of the appeal of "HUNTER×HUNTER." Who will Gon and Killua fall in love with? Is it a character yet to be introduced...? I can't wait to see what happens next!
