Killua de Hunter x Hunter

appearance

Killua has spiky, white hair; and blue eyes. His eyes change depending on the mood he is in, narrowing and sharpening when he goes into assassin mode. He is usually in good physical shape, but in the Chimera Ant arc it is seen that he has very toned body muscles, especially in his pectorals and abs. In the Nippon Animation anime adaptation, Killua's eye color is changed to green during the OVAs. Killua typically wears loose-fitting clothing, his usual attire consisting of long-sleeved, dark-colored shirts. Most of his shirts have turtlenecks. Killua wears long, baggy pants in the manga and the animated adaptation of Madhouse, but Nippon Animation's character design reduced them to reaching above his knees. Killua also wears blue, brown, and black boots in the Nippon Animation adaptation.

personality

At first Killua is presented as a character who seems similar to Gon, happy, daring, and full of malicious ideas, although deep down they turn out to be total opposites, being contradictory to what each one appears; so he is truly a kind, attentive and sensitive boy, a way in which he does not like to show himself very much. He is also one of the quickest-thinking characters in the series. He is confident in his own abilities, often humble about it. But when someone compliments him, especially Gon, he gets embarrassed easily. Killua is also known for having a passion for sweets, as he spent almost 200 million Jenny on sweets when he was in the Sky Colosseum. His favorite food is chocolate, specifically chocolate robots. However, his cruelty and aptitude for murder shows the other side of him: deadly, violent and bloodthirsty; side formed by his treatment and training since he was a child. Having been tortured since his birth, Killua has been conditioned to possess extreme tolerance for poison, electricity, and pain. He possesses extraordinary agility and strength that makes Killua a killing machine making him someone he definitely doesn't trifle with. And in conflict with Killua's previous willingness to kill he has an unwavering loyalty to his friends and natural kindness to him. Killua often suffers greatly in his attempts to help his friends without a single complaint. He puts others before himself without worrying about his own health or life.

personality

Until recently, Killua's biggest flaw was his apparent fear of those more powerful than him (one of which was his older brother, Illumi). Killua had been trained as an assassin by his brother to be extremely cautious so he only engages in combat with the condition that victory will be absolutely certain. This hindered him as a hunter, as Biscuit stated more than once that victory is never certain, and that depending on the circumstances, a person has the potential to defeat a stronger opponent. Killua especially struggles with these dueling ideologies during the second half of the series, as he begins to encounter stronger rivals. His brother's teachings remained firmly ingrained in his mind, to a point where Biscuit prophesied that he would one day abandon Gon because of this. Biscuit gave Killua an ultimatum: Defeat Shoot and claim the right to go with Gon and fight the Chimera Ants or in case Killua lost, decide to leave after Gon recovered from his fight, protecting him in the meantime.

personality

He finally had to face Biscuit's prophecy when he encountered a chimera ant while Gon (who couldn't use Nen at the time) was not far away and had no way to defend himself. Killua makes an attempt to save Gon. While fighting the chimera ant, Killua was also fighting the inner self of him. Worried, Killua was losing the Ant Chimera. At the last moment, he realized that Illumi had implanted a needle in his brain on his way back from the first Hunter Exam. This needle was responsible for forcing Killua to retreat and imprisoning himself in his happy zone when any situation could potentially endanger his life. Upon removal of the needle, Killua was freed from this restriction and gained complete control of his subconscious to make his own decision whether or not he is safe to flee whenever there is a need to fight stronger rivals. Although he often tries to hide it, Killua loves Gon very much and also cares a lot about him, since, according to Killua himself, Gon was the first person who was interested in him. This makes him consider him his first, only and best friend; becoming his dearest being.

past

Killua was born as the third son of a family of known assassins, the Zoldyck Family. Showing great promise from birth, Killua has mastered many killing techniques from an early age, and is set to become one of the best assassins the family has ever produced. At the age of three, he began training him in following other people. He was forced to fight in the Sky Arena martial arts tournament at the age of 6, in which it took him two years to reach the 199th floor (although he has been accepted to the 200th floor, he dropped out) . Killua divulges that since his birth, he has been in constant training for the occupation of a professional assassin. Killua had spent years trying to perfect the unique abilities that assassins portray and possess. Bored and tired of killing, Killua unexpectedly rebelled against his family, injuring his mother and second brother, and ran away from home to take the Hunter Exam for fun. There he meets Gon during the first part of the Hunter exam and the two become best friends. He thinks being with Gon is exciting and adventurous.

skills and powers

Killua has all the benefits granted by his status as an assassin. Furthermore, as a member of the Zoldyck Family, he has vast wealth at his disposal, although he needs permission from his father or his grandfather to use it. His last name is enough to scare those who know what he associates himself with. Killua has been trained since birth to become a human weapon, and is recognized by his family to be the most talented assassin in the entire history of the Zoldycks. When he first took the Hunter exam, he was the fourth most powerful applicant (after Gittarackur, and, by his own admission, Hisoka and Hanzo). His training endowed him with great immunity to poison, high tolerance to electricity, great agility and physical strength, advanced armed and unarmed combat, and stealth techniques, which he acquired at an early age. His intellect and exceptional analytical skills are equally notable, and it is often through strategy that he is able to defeat opponents who are stronger or more experienced than him. He is also able to walk noiselessly and sleep with more of his brain awake than normal, so he can avoid attacks even in his sleep, even if they come from a weaponized, albeit weak, fellow hunter.

skills and powers

At the beginning of the series, he did not hesitate for a second to kill, but after the meeting with Gon, this tendency calmed down; Still, he is not afraid to resort to extreme means when circumstances demand it. Like his friend Gon, Killua has an amazing natural talent that allows him to learn at an incredibly fast and seemingly endless pace, a trait that piqued Hisoka's interest. His potential extends to Nen as well, as Wing and Bisky pointed out. Although he fights primarily with his bare hands, Killua is capable of using any type of weapon, but the only one he constantly employs is his two custom-made yo-yos. During the Chimera Ant Arc, he was so confident in his strength that he stated that tanks and fighter planes would be useless against him. Killua's main weakness used to be an inferiority complex that paralyzed him with fear and prevented him from fighting opponents. that they could pose as a threat to him, although their total strength was less than his. Although originally believed to be a product of his training, it was later revealed that it was actually due to a Nen-infused needle that Illumi had implanted in his brain. Eliminating him caused Killua to snap free of his brother's conditioning, thus regaining full control of his mental abilities in battle. This also had the effect of making his movements overall better, increasing his speed.

Yo-yos

During the Greed Island story arc, Killua begins using Yo-Yos made of a special metal alloy in combat. The Yo-Yos are extremely durable and heavy, each weighing 50 kilograms. They can be used in conjunction with Killua's Hatsu. Killua is reluctant to use Yo-Yos in combat, so he uses only his basic physical abilities so that his opponent knows as little about his combat abilities as possible. In the manga, Yo-Yos have a six pointed star or hexagram design on them. The hexagram design is used in many different religions and cultures, including Islam, Christianity, the occult, Hinduism and Judaism, especially where the hexagram is the symbol used for "The Star of David". In the Greed Island OVAs the hexagram or six-pointed star became a pentagram or five-pointed star. However, later in the Chimera Ants arc, Killua is seen using a Yo-Yo that has a five-pointed star on it. Since Killua has two Yo-Yos it is more likely that one Yo-Yo has a hexagram, while the other has a pentagram.

To use the ability, Killua needs to charge himself by absorbing electricity through a socket.
