I adore the Election arc not because of any election, or because of Leorio’s jokes about jerking off before punching King Absentee Dad Ging Freeccs in his wanker face. Some people call Chimera Ants the best arc, while others are fans of Greed Island. But in the final arc, when Gon’s body is damaged beyond repair and Alluka is being hunted down by Illumi and Hisoka, we see Killua’s growth in all of its glory. Throughout the series, he still remains cold and clinical in relation to people he doesn’t know. The Killua we meet in episode three of Hunter x Hunter is more than willing to leave people behind. “If I ignore a friend I have the ability to help, wouldn't I be betraying him?” Thinking of the words his father spoke to him, Killua stops to ask himself: They’re almost inconsequential when you consider the wider context of his character, which I think can be summed up by this one line. Sure, he looks cool and it’s exciting when you see him use Godspeed, but those are just tiny pieces of icing on the most delicious cake ever baked. I have never seen a character as unflinchingly loyal as Killua. We see this touched on in fiction a lot, but never to this extent. Still, Killua manages to transcend the seemingly impossible not because he is more than just an assassin, or more than just a main character, but because he is driven entirely by friendship.

This causes Killua much grief throughout the series and becomes a lingering source of trauma for him, especially while he’s still under the influence of Illumi’s needles. This is obviously juxtaposed with something Killua’s older brother, Illumi, regularly says throughout the series - that Killua can’t have friends because it is impossible for an assassin to make them. “Promise me one thing,” Silva says during his heart-to-heart with Killua. While his mother, grandfather, and siblings disapprove of his friendship with Gon, Silva - while disappointed - almost seems relieved to discover that at least one of his sons has the drive and the heart to pursue a life without murder. I think, as strong as Killua’s character is, the root of all his best parts can be attributed to a conversation he had with his father, Silva Zoldyck. “Will you forgive me for being a bad brother?” I’ve watched this scene so many times and it never feels like anything less than Killua plucking my heart out as if I’m Johness, convict number three in Trick Tower. I could discuss his relationship with Alluka - also known as Something or Nanika - which gives way to the second-best moment in Hunter x Hunter: “Nanika,” Killua says. I could honestly write about Killua forever - how he’s the only one who can regularly and reliably get through to Gon, and even when he can’t, knows what to do. As in, time and time again, whether it be physically removing him from harm’s way or subtly steering him towards the right path, Killua is Gon’s guardian angel who wants nothing more than friendship in return. There are several layers to this, but the most important one is the fact that while Gon changes Killua, Killua saves Gon. I would also argue that Killua puts far more into this relationship than Gon, as well as gaining more from it. I would go so far as to say that the main character in Hunter x Hunter is actually Gon and Killua’s relationship with one another. While Gon is technically the protagonist of the show, he’s nothing without Killua. This is not only the best scene in Hunter x Hunter - it’s also the most important one.

I think the best way to capture this is by referring to the best scene in Hunter x Hunter: He’s also pretty edgy, at least visually - he sort of sways with a hands-in-pockets half-shrug and a skateboard tucked untidily beneath his arm, wearing an expression that says, “Are you finished yet?” His spiky white hair accentuates this persona even further, especially when it’s laced with lightning later on.īut Killua, despite having weird vampire claw fingernails, is not edgy. He doesn’t care for Leorio or Kurapika at the beginning of the series and kills pretty much indiscriminately and for no reason. To be honest, I originally thought that Killua was going to be at least partially antagonistic. I mean, he’s clearly going to be a fascinating character, although the ambiguity of his motivations and background make it difficult to guess what his arc is going to be like. This all happens within the first 45 seconds of Killua’s overall screen time. The next thing of note Killua does is a sick kickflip because Gon says he’s 12. He soon reveals that he is completely immune to poison. The first thing of note that Killua does is drink loads of laxatives without getting the runs.
