MAN I was happy to see Hisoka and Illumi again in the election arc.
Same. I don't even like Illumi too much, but it was really cool to see him again as well.
At first I hated him, but I've grown to love him lol
They we're talking and joking around like friends is a whole package of oxygen after the chimera ant arc ended.
Always found it weird how hisoka never heard about the chimera ants well whatever
Too bad they didn’t so shit
Hisoka's unpredictability terrifies me
I like it!
Millie Bysh he's more like an animal or an extreme hedonist
The way he felt another spider hiding shows how terrifying he can be.
I don't know if those are accurate descriptors for him. Tell the truth the only accurate way I could describe him is wild card.
That's how psychopaths are. Lack of remorse or empathy makes it hard to pinpoint what they'd do because they have no moral compass

Thank you.

When I started HxH and saw the opening and Gon running to punch Hisoka, I was sure that Hisoka was supposed to be t he final villain of the ARC. I had no idea that he would appear throughout the rest of the story and even work as a temporary protagonist. You're certainly right about Hisoka bringing the dark tone to the beginning of the show to keep people interested. I thought it was going to be a really child aimed anime from the start but Hisoka would make it darker during the exam. Turned my thinking from "This looks like a fun anime that will be upbeat" to "Ooo this is a bit darker and more interesting".
For sure. His role deceives at first but if the audience is paying attention then the subtle and gradual changes in his role reveal a lot about the series as a whole.
and then you get to the chimera ant arc and that’s when you truly witness ‘dark and interesting’
Its probably a good thing he wasnt in the chimera ant arc...he'd of creamed himself to death.

I love how togashi took the trope of a character being excited about a fight and took it literally as where hisoka gets aroused at the thought of a good fight there's nobody like him he's such a great character
Totally agree. Think about Hisoka's traits out of context and he seems like a joke character, but Togashi crafts him in such a skilled and believable way.
When Hisoka explained the origin of his Nen abilities, it got me thinking "That sounds like something Gon would do". And true enough, halfway trough the Greed island arc, that was exactly how & why he developed the Jajanken.
This led me to start thinking of Hisoka as a true "protagonist-in-the-dark", a representation of what Gon could become if he wasn't balanced by friends with a decent moral compass. To this extent, he is a much better foil Gon then a a more traditional Struggle of opposites, like Batman vs. Joker. The latter is two almost completly different personalities, with most similarities being incidental or exaggerated in the characters mind. Gon & Hisoka, on the other hand, are eerily similliar. All the way down to their likes and social interactions.
This is actually an idea that had been floating around in my head for a while as well and you articulated it perfectly. It's also a very unique take that I don't think a lot of people think about, and I want to address it in a video eventually. Both characters have far more in common than the general watcher would think at first glance.
Indeed. Whats so awesome is that, as per usual with HxH, Hisoka isn't just the dark foil for Gon but Shounen protags as a whole. His main drive and impact on any conflict is so alike the Gokus and Urameshis that it's kinda unsettling if you think about it.
Gon has already been established as a loose cannon, so this is entirely plausible!
Holy shit, you just made a discovery!
Hisoka: closest human relationship we've seen is a Zoldyck assassin. Gon: closest friend is a Zoldyck assassin. YUP story checks out.

**inhales deeply** **begins to rant about how much I love hisoka**
hisoka is the best :)
Y'all can say Hisoka is bad but he didn't let Gon and Killua fight in the 200th floor until they learned nen.
Purely for his own selfish reasons, he wants them to continue to grow and thet would not have done so had they entered the 200th floor unprepared. It's like how Bisky describes them later on, raw gems that, if honed properly, could become equivalent to diamonds or sapphires. Hisoka sees their raw, rare potential as well and wants them to become the precious stones thet could be - so he can fight them when they shine the brightest. If they fought on the 200th floor without proper Nen training, it would be like smashing them into pieces, shattering any chance they would have of growing to their fullest potential.
the chimera ants arc was so dark and mentally straining to watch so i can confirm i got sooo happy once i saw hisoka again. Even though he's a "villain" he can lighten up the mood anytime!! He deserves a whole season dedicated to his past after that i'll die in peace ._.
When I first watched the show, I actually stopped in the middle of the Chimera Ant Arc and went back to rewatch the show from the beginning because I wasn't ready for how dark it got and I missed Hisoka 😂
Hisoka almost single-handedly drew me into Hunter x Hunter when I first began delving into the series, having never seen a character portrayed quite as brilliantly before in my entire life -- whether in books, television, film, etc. You clearly get the idea that he's dangerous very early on, as well as that he can't really be trusted, but all the while it never really made sense to me to classify him as some kind of villain.
More than anything, I think, Hisoka is drawn to power, but in the most unconventional way. He's almost the polar opposite of a megalomaniac. He could care less about acquiring power for the sake of power, but instead only wants it to satisfy his own personal desires. There's something almost more dark and sinister about this because his motives now can't be defined in any natural way, yet his quest to defeat the most powerful just for the thrill almost redeems him entirely.
In the end, Hisoka is just fun. He's a true wild-card who is wildly clever, wildly gifted and wildly neurotic. He is both sentimental and dispassionate, and how he values a person entirely depends on what they're able to pull out of him. Too many times in stories involving superpowers, especially anime, the characters are just one dimensional. Their motives are simple, their speech is basic, their origins are uninteresting and ultimately their outcome is entirely predictable. Hisoka is anything but. He is multi upon multi-dimensional, and even after watching the series a half dozen times I still have zero idea how his story will be resolved.
For that, and that alone, he is a fascinating character and should be used as the benchmark for any fantasy/science-fiction story looking to improve in the area of character development. Every show could use a Hisoka, IMO. Perhaps not a killer clown who has a thing for children, but a character with intense energy and mystery who will always keep you guessing. So long as this series has him, it can never get boring.
Hisoka is representative of the amoral Fool in tales of old. They are clever, allign with the heroes of villains to get closer to their own goals and are usually powerful. Most are supernatural, and judging by Hisoka's name (secret) there is certainly a mysterious allure to him that can be compared to "supernatural". He is a catalyst for many characters, the template for Gon to surpass, the thorn in everyones side. He isn't just a loveable side character; he's a force of nature. If it wasn't obvious enough, he is my favorite character :)
BZLB Hes not a pedophile, dumbass
@@hirakaiko5570 Looks like someone doesn’t read between the lines. The reason he stared at their butts was to be sent to the front and be able to ask Gorenthu (if that’s his name, I forgot) a question without being suspicious towards the boys. He licks his lips because he gets excited fighting and thinking about strong opponents. He said it himself when talking about Chrollo, “It gets me so excited just to *think* about fighting the boss”. He doesn’t lick his lips cause Gon is a child, dumbass. His main goal isn’t age nor gender. It’s strength. He doesn’t care about your age, nor your gender. If you have strength, he’ll go after you. The reason he asked Illumi to do Killua was to let Illumi release his bloodlust to warn Killua to save Gon and Alluka before Illumi kills them. Hisoka was actually HELPING them, dipshit. Don’t spread rumors. Hisoka is NOT, I repeat, NOT a pedophile.
@@pokerplayer4197 THANK. YOU.
I can not believe how many annoying people still get upset, whenever Hisoka is onscreen, because :"hE iS A PheDopHile !"
Also they forget, that he doesn't intend to r*pe any of his opponents . His goal is to fight them. Like, possibly killing them in the process. And since everyone is OK with liking fictional serialkiller, I don't see a problem here😜.
Anyways, your comment really sums it up petty good. I 100% agree with you.
So thank you for being smarter than about half of the fandom🙏
@@leoniezohler8697 Yup! People think it’s “funny” or “kidding” that he’s a pedophile, when in reality, he isn’t even one and joking about it is disgusting.
@@leoniezohler8697 It doesn't help that when he asks Illumi if he can kill Killua, he uses a double entendre in both the Japanese and English versons.
SCHWING! Great video. So glad you pointed out how important he was in each arc. Without saying too much, I felt like people forgot this during the most recent events of the manga when trying to guess what would happen next.
Also, quote of the year: "Sometimes you just need a clown man that gets horny when he fights a strong opponent, because this adds tonal balance." - Aleczandxr
TalesOfNerdia you watch him
Cheers man, always glad to hear you enjoyed! He definitely has a big role, understated or otherwise, in every arc that he's in. His biggest stuff might be yet to come. And I doubt I'll ever be able to surpass that quote, to be honest. ;)
TalesOfNerdia Not a bad quote to end off this year with if I do say so myself
Agreed
Oh man schwing? sounds familiar. oh wait it's da Asuna game thing haha
Not to be one of *those* people, but I absolutely love Hisoka. I acknowledge him as a villain/antagonist (two traits that I am aware do not necessarily mean the same thing), but at the same time, he feels familiar both to myself as a watcher/reader, and to Gon and Killua who I consider the main characters, and in that way, it’s hard not to consider him a sort of “home base” in the hunterxhunter universe. We all know that the only reason he hasn’t killed Gon yet is because he’s waiting for Gon to reach his full potential, but it never feels like that point has come, more often than not, they’re interactions feeling hostile but light-hearted and not fueled by hate in the way shounen protagonists tend to interact with their long-term antagonists. Hisoka seems to be like a character that just doesn’t die and that’s why it feels like everything will turn out alright when he’s around (in my opinion at least). As to the whole “He’s a sociopathic pedophile argument”, I honestly don’t think he has any interest in Gon simply because Gon is a little boy. I think he’s more interested in the opponent Gon will become and I sincerely doubt he gets off on the idea of intercourse with Gon. Going back to my previous point, what makes Hisoka so interesting to me is that he isn’t hated by Gon, instead acting as someone Gon wants to beat simply because Gon is the type of simple-minded, lowkey selfish character with the desire to be strong. Gon doesn’t necessarily like Hisoka, but he doesn’t hate him the way he hated Pitou or even the rest of the phantom troupe (post finding out that they feel emotions despite being killers) and at the same time, Hisoka never seems to be in anything because he hates something else. He just seems to be there for the ride, hoping a good fight will come along. Needless to say, Hisoka is just a character that I’ve grown attached to as much as the main protagonists at this point.
Same, I can maybe see why some people think of him as a pedo, but that's such a shallow way to see him. Once you see beyond his "creepiness" you realize what a fascinating and essential character he is.
At least you didn't spam emjois
@@nataliaacevedo6467 Everything Hisoka does is designed to upset people. From wearing women's shoes to speaking in a flirtatious manner to filing his fingernails into claws.
In the way Hisoka was described in this video, it makes me think of their video on Gon's morality/psychology and in some ways they are very similar. They are both selfish in their actions, placing more value on "how does this benefit/affect me" over "what is the right thing to do". They judge people on whether they like them or, at least for Hisoka, how much he wants to fight them; basically, people have more value to them the more interesting they think they are. If Gon were to continue down the path of always chasing personal growth and judging people on their use to him, he could end up becoming somewhat like Hisoka.
Also if you can't be one of those people on a video discussing Hisoka's importance to HxH, then where can you be? (I, too, love Hisoka as a character and find him extremely compelling to watch in the show).
Yes he is evil, no he won't backstab Gon, yes he's a pedo, no he won't commit a sex crime.
Hisoka also is one of those characters in anime that could legit kill any major supporting character at any point. Which is pretty uncommon in most anime, not so much in HxH but still.
There is something about him that manages to make him utterly terrifying even when he most likely won't do anything in an arc other than be creepy in the background.
They should do a separate anime just about Hisoka and his story!! That'll be so awesome!!!!
alejandro banegas ikr
no it wouldnt, as said in the video hes a character that should be used sparingly, too much and no one will like him anymore.
As much as i like that idea, if they do that it’ll ruin his essence of being mysterious and alluring
I could see it more as a one off OVA then a whole anime series
Adventures of hisuka and illumi
Yay! I love it when people discuss Hisoka's character! And you're right, his character is a good balance to the rest of Hunter X Hunter.
For sure. Glad you enjoyed :)
hisoka vs pouf would be hilarious:
pouf: *reads hisoka's mind*
hisoka: *smiles*
pouf: *scratching his eyes out*
hisoka: *laughing*
and the fight continues with pouf unable to (or just won't) use his ability on hisoka.
Everybody gangster until they start hearing salsa music faintly playing in the background

hisoka is one of the best fucking characters ever. i literally love him so much. he’s so well written
Thanks love. Always nice to see a fan.
I'm going to be honest. There was a time I took a break with Hunter x Hunter. It's not because I disliked it, but because I was watching with someone and we ended up stopping right before Gon and Killua were able to get past Hisoka's nen and participated more in the tournament fights. What was most interesting to me is the reason I came back. Hisoka himself felt like he was taunting me. He was the one directing me to come back, even in my dreams scary enough. When I came back I of course started at the beginning since I forgot so many details. It's suiting that when I caught up to where I was, it was also the moment I felt changed the series completely. I paused before commenting the following, so you probably say something similar... but I'm going to type it.
Hisoka is the embodiment of curiosity in a dark world. The first three openings I felt intentionally repeated that animation of him taunting Gon because of this fact. It's interesting that a character that I know was written and drawn by someone influenced me to watch this show again. It felt that he did to Gon what he did to me, making sure they entered the world right when it was about to shatter. I feel Nen was the very key to the truth of Hunter x Hunter's world. The moment you can see the world around you, the more you understand it.
He constantly taunted me to come back. Me personally as the reader, and as a story teller that has researched and study the art of story telling to the point I can see past the curtains? That's impressive. It's suiting that he's a magician. Knowing the tricks doesn't mean the magic's gone, that just means the true fun is just beginning.
Hisoka played an important part for Gon to pass the hunter exam.. He leads the path when they were in the swamp.. He helped Gon get the number of his target.
Hisoka challenged Gon to give back the number with a powerful hit. Making Gon master Nen in a short period of time.
Hisoka helped Gon in greed island during the dodge ball match..
I think Hisoka is not antagonist but some kind of a moivator for Gon to keep going stronger.
Leah Frost all of that to kill/fight him one day when gon’s grown up
Cause thats what hisoka wants, for gon to be stronger
The hype when a new HxH/Berserk video of yours pops up is unreal.
Silver Vine agreed
There may or may not be a Berserk one in the near-ish future. :)

9:40 ''And that is exactly what we needed after some dark stuff'' -''Hisoka provided all of tha..''- *LEORIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
I think this wouldn't be a good show without Hisoka, he's like an Anti-hero even though he is a secondary character. That unpredictability and balance makes this show what it is.
He's the creepiest, yet simultaneously the most badass and insane character in the anime. I mean he deliberately gets his limbs cut off in that arena fight just to expose Kastros weak spot. Though he does know Machis nen stitches can patch him back up but still.
1:28 "This is the brilliance of Hisoka..." _*Proceeds to display his litteral brilliance_
"The audience savours every moment that we have with him" - you put my feelings into words so accurately.
I thought I was alone in this given his antagonistic nature;
like who craves more of the bad guy!!?
But he is just soooo(ooooo) unique compared to the other antagonists. (the rest are special in their own ways I guess but nothing beats ⭐Hisoka💧)
I don't think I looked forward to any other character as much I did him.
This is actually the first video of yours that I watched! Your perspectives are really thought provoking and deep!
Awesome work! thank youuu~ :D
Yaaaaaaasss
Ha, awesome. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you liked it - Hisoka really is fantastic for all the reasons you described. I also have a lot more HxH stuff on the channel if you want to check them out! :)
Oh what I would do to watch HxH for the first time again
Seeing both Hisoka and Illumi back in the forefront as villians was very sorely needed after the 61 episode marathon that is the Chimera Ant arc.
I just stopped the video at 0:00 and I must say :
I am not convinced!
Clovis H lmao dam bro
Hisoka and Kurapika will work together on the dark continent i feel it. Theres so many factions going to the island so its only right. after hisoka killed Shal and Kortopi. he stated hes coming after the rest and who's doing that?? I predict a time skip will occur while the dark continent happens. because Gon no longer has Nen. while we focus on Kurapika and Leorio during this arc, gon and kil are gonna be off training. since gon lost his Nen i was also thinking his type may have changed to Specialist. if that turns out to be the case i cant even inagine the new ability Togashi eill give him.
I'd predict that as well, Kurapika and Hisoka just have overlapping motives and they haven't been adverse to working together in the past either.
did hisoka killed shalnark and kortopi? is that on manga? Oh no! Phantom Troupe is lacking without them. I always perceive that Shalnark always serves as the voice/speaker of the group.
Joshua Mulit welp they were villains anyway:|
@@Joshua-gl3su Shalnark was my favorite spider :( Damn
I also think that togashi will make him a specialiste
Hisoka is the wild card in this anime... he has no friends and no enemies.. he just seeks his own entertainment... and that makes him unpredictable... and awesome xD
Hearing Hisoka’s signature guitar music with the black screen honestly scared me for some reason
if only hisoka saw gon se his nen against pitou and do tha transformation

The UA-cam algorithm definitely picked the most appropriate time to recommend this.
During the chimera ant, as Illumi says, he was playing hide and seek with Kuroro and missed Meruem tho... 😂
I think Pariston Hill is also an interesting character, hope we get more of him on the dark continent arc.
Agreed, I think he's fascinating.
Agreed, he is one of my favourites!
He's like Hisoka and Pouf put together. He's very mysterious and interesting too. Definitely wanna see more of him.

if your caught up in the Manga, not to spoil anything but hisoka has evolved.
Hisoka is my favorite in the series. I am creating a persona based off of hisoka for a haunted attraction I work at and this insight into his personality recapping the entire series is a great help.

I actually had a crush on him back when i was a kid, I did find his strength and charisma inviting although I was kind of confuse if he's a bad guy because of all the shit he did but fuxk it I still love the anime anyway huhu nothing can change that.
Random but after watching this video I got so hyped for next year. We will get more Berserk and maybe just maybe Togashi will make 15 chapters next year!!! Hyped!!!!
I'm optimistic. Berserk seems to be getting in gear again and the DC arc has been really interesting so far, so hopefully some new material comes out. Though if it doesn't, we always have the rest of the series to fall back on and love.
Yeah so true hahaha
@@baguettemmm6120 Imagine being a Berserk fan since 89
Hisoka is almost like a creepier version of hidan
this video was uploaded 3 years ago, but i have to say that Hisoka's characterization is indeed really great. like you said, he is shallow but so well done, that it doesn't even matter. he isn't like chrollo lucilfer, johan liebert, or shogo makishima that has depth in their characters.
true, he is shallow, BUT VERY MYSTERIOUS. not only that, Togashi's use of Hisoka in every arc, like you said, is purposeful. when the arc is too light, his presence adds malice to it. but when the arc is too dark, his presence provides amusement. but what really amazes me is how he impacts each arc differently, with the same person that he is. Hisoka doesn't change for the arc, HE CHANGES THE ARC. he puts balance in the tone, he truly is the "wild card" of Hunter x Hunter.
Togashi can create likeable characters without them being relatable using backstories or making them tragic. he doesn't need the readers and watchers' empathy/sympathy for his villains in order for them be appealing. it's really astounding!
I like how in the manga hisoka was introduced before his actual appearance in the chapter pages

Aleczandxr Oh snap I just noticed! I'll have to endorse you even harder to push ya over the edge!
FUN FACT I LEARNED YESTERDAY ALMOST 5 YEARS AFTER FINISHING THE ANIME AND READING THE MANGA.
In the bit where Hisoka asks Illumi what he would do if he killed killua, in the Japanese manga what hisoka actually said roughly translates to "what would you do if I did killua?" Aka "what would you do if I raped killua?" The symbol he does with his hand also supports that....So yeah...I knew hisoka was perverted but...wow
I've been waiting for a video about hisoka!!!
Ishida Sui, creator of Tokyo Ghoul, apparently used to work as one of Togashi's assistants. You can see plenty of influence in Tokyo Ghoul from HxH, especially in the loose version of Hisoka in the Pierrot (The Clowns) group. So, many treat the oneshots as canon because he worked on HxH and he received Togashi's permission to make it.
Hisoka being a Gemini is like, so fitting
Every time I look back at hunter x hunter I find myself fixated on one character. First it was Meruem, then Uvogin, then Chrollo, and now it’s Hisoka.
omg i thought i was the only one that liked Uvogin
I love Hisoka. Hisoka is actually very important to me in HxH. To me Hisoka is selfish. He is also lonely and he uses his blood lust and other things to make up for it. I believe he cares deeply for Gon. Yes he really want to fight him and I really want to see that battle. But given an opportunity when Gon is really strong and older I don't think Hisoka would kill him. I think Hisoka finds Gon fascinating and even enjoys his presence. I also think Hisoka likes Gon because of his personality and maybe a very small part of him considers Gon as a friend. I think the reason why Hisoka wants to challenge people is because he wants to see who is worthy of his respect, he enjoys it and has fun, he wants to become stronger and challenging someone could help him, and he wants to be put in his place/ die. I really want to ask the author more about Hisoka. I have a list of all my favorite characters in HxH and the people who tie for first is Hisoka and Gon. I just don't believe Hisoka is blood thirsty all the time and ect. He does give off psychopath vibes but I just don't believe that is who he is or all he is.
I love how after Hisoka's theme stops playing, vamo alla flamenco begins😂
Gon: breathes
Hisoka: ItS rEaLlY tUrNiNg Me On
I dont know why but I feel like Hisoka was always just.. like that. Seems like he's always been a bloodthirsty psychopath.
I love Hisoka's character. He can jump in at any point and I'll still get excited
I'm always excited whenever I see hisoka!!!⭐-_-💧
You blew me away once more with your analysis! Thanks for helping me understand just exactly why I'm so fond of Hisoka. I've been rewatching HxH and his absence in the Chimera Ant Arc is felt so strongly...a beautiful arc but also eternal suffering ow
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. I missed the beautiful man in CA too :(
The pure joy I experienced when I saw this in my sub feed..
Awesome to hear.
I watch HunterXHunter just to watch *HISOKA*
Did anyone else hear "Vamo Alla Flamenco" from FF playing in the BG? haha
100/100 nobles were impressed.
Your in depth narration and break downs of different aspects of hunter x hunter makes me love it 10x more than I already did. And it's my favorite! Love from New York 💕
That's great to hear, thanks for watching!
DAAAMMMNNN! Incredible video! You EARNED my subscription
Glad you liked it!

I love Hisoka. I love the way he waits for his opponents to get better. I would have the same feelings. It's such a rush to beat the Best of the Best rather than just crush small fry. Fear is Strongest when the Strongest have it in their heart. :)
Never understood why people love Hisoka so much, I personally only liked him at most, and sometimes he was hilarious as hell. But that all changed afte rthe latest chapters when he did... you know.. Always enjoy watching your vids man:)
You mean what he did at the end of the chapter 357 ?
That's just grief man. All just grief.
I still love him
I mean, I get feeling for the Phantom Troupe, but being upset with Hisoka when they've arguably done worse? I'll never really understand that. I say bring on the bloodbath of sociopaths--should be pretty entertaining.
I feel like Hisoka was gonna do that someday.
I subscribed to your channel about 10 minutes ago. I regret nothing. I love your videos so far! I would like to point out something you said about Hisoka that I think highlights one of the best things about HxH as a whole. You said that Hisoka is so charming that he makes you forget he's a bloodthirsty murderer. In other words, killing is not the central focus of his character. In this series, there are hardy any characters that are abject good or evil. They all fall within a gray scale(well, many of them do anyway). This is a story about various people living life the best way they know how. And I think Hisoka epitomizes this idea. That's what makes me love this show/manga even more. Although, this brings up conflicted feelings in regards to Hisoka. He's a maniac with no regard for the lives of other people, but he's somehow lovable at the same time.
Also, while Hisoka definitely wasn't needed in the Chimera Arc, I REALLY wanted to see his reaction and/or interaction to one of the Royal Guards. I wonder if he would have been able to hold his own.
Fantastic, I'm glad you like the videos! Thanks very much. And I totally agree about the characters of HxH - the vast, VAST majority operate in shades of gray (along a spectrum, but regardless..). And this just makes the whole thing so much more interesting of a story than it would have been otherwise. About Hisoka and the Royal Guards.. I think he would've put up a good fight but ultimately would have lost. Perhaps he would've had a chance against Pouf.
Ahhhh I love Hisokas music, I’m simping for him
Does anyone know when the manga will continue? It was so good and they left us on a cliffhanger 😭
It has constant hiatuses, similar to Berserk
Aydarus Hassan i know but togashi was on a streak for a long time and he just stop randomly
Michael Daniel Ah, okay. Well, it's not yet known when the next chapter will be out
Aydarus Hassan Sometimes I'm scared that the series will never finish 😩😢😪😭
Michael Daniel Same
100% agree. I weirdly just love hisoka. He’s so interesting. Though part of me is interested in his back ground but at the same time. I don’t want that to ruin his wonderful character.
What is your FAVORITE Hisoka's outfit? I like most the Heavens arena outfit.!
His words of charisma of moaning putting you in a state of vertigo.
Directors: Hisoka is a secondary character who is a very confusing pervert
Us: Makes him a main character and simps over him as our dramatic king
Directors: *visible confusion*
Hisoka is superior to chrollo in terms of intellect. this was evident during the fortune telling, hisoka was able to out maneuver the whole phantom group to get what he wanted. its a significant point where he puppetered chrollo into staying, subsequently the demise of his own members
Hisoka is the terrifying clown The Joker wishes he could be. I never ;like the idea that Batman; the world's greatest detective, master martial artist, member of the justice league's greatest enemy is this crazy clown man. No I'd die of happiness of Hisoka was Batman's arch enemy. OMG someone write that fan fic please!
He kept chewing gum even after it lost its flavor without throwing up, that's why he is so powerful.
