"HUNTER×HUNTER" has been a huge hit for about 20 years since 1998, but which character is the strongest? This time, we will analyze the characters that appear in "HUNTER×HUNTER" from all angles and introduce them in the form of a "Strongest Ranking".
10th place: Zeno Zoldyck
He is the grandfather of Killua, the secondary protagonist of this work, and the former head of the Zoldyck family. Despite being the former head, he is still active with his son Silva and exerts overwhelming power in the work.
Dragon Dive!!
Among Zeno's many special moves, the one that has the most impact is the "Dragon Dive." Zeno and Netero launched a surprise attack on the Chimera Ant camp with his "Dragon Dive," which successfully caught Pitou off guard, so there's no doubt that he's a very capable person.
9th place: Silva Zoldyck
He is the father of Killua, the secondary protagonist of this work, and the current head of the Zoldyck family. As Killua's father, he is also seen giving fatherly advice such as "Don't mess with the Phantom Troupe."
Strongest of the Zoldyck Family
As the head of the Zoldyck family, the most powerful assassin family in the series, Silva is known as the "Strongest of the Zoldyck Family."
8th place: Chrollo Lucilfer
He is the leader of the Phantom Troupe. He also appears as the enemy of the main member, Kurapika, and is the mastermind of this work.
Strength of a game of rock-paper-scissors after the fact
When talking about Chrollo, one thing that cannot be left out is his ability "Skill Hunter." "Skill Hunter" is an ability that only Chrollo has, and it allows him to steal the opponent's abilities by clearing certain conditions. There are some restrictions on activating this ability, but being able to choose an ability to suit the opponent is a kind of strength of a game of rock-paper-scissors after the fact, and it can be said to be a strength that only Chrollo has.
A crushing victory over Hisoka
The scene where Hisoka, who has always been portrayed as an overwhelmingly strong character in this work, was beaten to a pulp shocked many readers. Hisoka is also quite strong, but in the face of Chrollo's extremely convenient ability, Hisoka, who can only stick and stretch gum, was defeated miserably.
7th place: Shauapuhu
He is one of the "Chimera Ants", famous for being the strongest creatures in the series and designated as a first-class quarantine species. Among them, he belongs to the direct guard army of Meruem, the king of the Chimera Ants, and is also one of the brains of the Chimera Ant camp.
Tricky abilities
Unlike other Chimera Ants, Shauapouf is a brainiac, so he doesn't have a very high fighting ability on his own. However, he can use tricky abilities, such as reading the mind of his opponents using his scales, and he is certainly a troublesome opponent in battle.
6th place: Menthuthu Yupi
He is one of the direct guards of Meruem, the king of the Chimera Ants. In stark contrast to Shaiapouf, he is a natural martial artist and boasts an overwhelming amount of aura.
Evolving Strength
He's a strong character to begin with, but he also grows tremendously throughout the story. He faces off against the Hunters head-on and is feared by many readers for not only his physical strength but also his mental growth.
5th place: Neferpitou
He is one of the direct guards of Meruem, the king of the Chimera Ants. He has outstanding fighting power among the direct guards. He is famous for having made Netero, the president of the Hunter Association, say, "Isn't he stronger than me?"
Overwhelming healing ability
In addition to his overwhelming fighting power, Pitou also has the ultimate healing ability known as "Doctor Blythe." This ability allows him to demonstrate extraordinary healing power, such as healing Komugi, who was critically injured by Xeno's "Dragon Dive." Not only does he have high fighting ability, but he is also a capable healer, making him a truly all-rounder type of character.
4th place: Isaac Netero
He is the president of the Hunter Association. As the president of the ultra-elite Hunter Association, he is one of the most skilled in the series.
Meruem: "The pinnacle of individuality"
In the Chimera Ant arc, he possesses such power that Meruem, the king of the Chimera Ants, praises him as "the pinnacle of individuality." In particular, he materializes the Kannon Bodhisattva through mental concentration, and his striking technique, the "Hundred-Type Kannon Bodhisattva," boasts enough power to wound even Meruem.
The ultimate late bloomer
Netero is one of the strongest characters in the series, but he didn't have such overwhelming power when he was younger. His powers really grew when he started performing the "Gratitude Punch" 10,000 times a day from around the age of 46, making him the ultimate "late bloomer" character.
3rd place: Gon-san
Gon-san is the protagonist Gon Freecss, who, in the battle against Pitou in the "Chimera Ant Arc," grew rapidly to the age where he could defeat Pitou with the powerful power of Nen out of rage at the death of Kite. Of course, it is not an official name, but fans call him "Gon-san" because of the strong impact it has.
The Ultimate Restriction and Vow
In the world of HUNTER×HUNTER, "restrictions and vows" refer to "gaining enormous power in exchange for something," but Gon, who threw away his own future and powered up by saying, "I don't care if I can't use my Nen abilities anymore, I just want the power to defeat people," can be said to be the ultimate embodiment of those "restrictions and vows."
One blow to Pitou
Many readers were amazed when Gon kicked Pitou, known as the strongest in the King's personal guard, into the air and took him down with a single blow of "Jajanken". Gon is truly fearsome, not giving Pitou, who didn't even flinch from King Meruem's blow, the time to fight back.
There are plenty of things to poke fun at! !
Gon, who showed an overwhelming difference in ability between him and Pitou, is attracting attention not only for his abilities but also for his unique (?) appearance. It may be inevitable since he grew up so rapidly from his boyhood form, but even so, couldn't they have done something about his overly distinctive long hair? It's undeniable that it feels out of place in a serious scene, but on the other hand, the fact that there are so many things to point out may be one of Gon's charms.
2nd place: Meruem
He is the king of the first-class quarantined species, the Chimera Ants. He is one of the most powerful characters in the series, showing off his overwhelming strength without wavering even in front of Netero, the chairman of the Hunter Association.
Everything is on a different level
Netero, who faced Meruem, is also the president of the Hunter Association and is a character whose strength is on a different level from other characters, but even when facing Netero, he is never cornered and is always at ease, which shows how much Meruem is on a different level of strength.
Deep common sense and the dignity of a king
Furthermore, Meruem has "deep common sense and the dignity of a king", which is unusual for an enemy character. Through his interactions with "Komugi", a chess player at the military council, he deepened his common sense as a king. There are also depictions that make you think that humans are the "evil" ones, such as showing respect for Netero during the battle against Netero, despite being an enemy.
1st place Nanika
Another personality (Nen ability?) of Alluka Zoldyck, the sister of the secondary protagonist of this work, Killua. Since she has not yet been described in detail in the work, her detailed personality and gender are still unknown, making her a mysterious character.
Overwhelming cheat ability
Nanika's ability is to grant any wish by fulfilling a "request" presented by Nanika three times. As seen in the story, there are almost no restrictions on this ability, and it is likely that there is no limit to wishes. In other words, no matter how strong an enemy is, they will be no match for Nanika's overwhelming cheat ability that surpasses human understanding.
Killua and Nanika
As mentioned above, it is generally necessary to pay a certain price to have Nanika grant your wish, but it has been revealed that the only exception is his brother Killua, who can have Nanika grant his wish with no risk. I hope Killua will somehow ask for the "resumption of the HUNTER×HUNTER serialization" (lol)
Summary
