Theory Debunk: Feitan is Levi Ackerman.
NO WAYYYYYY
@@_celli.009 actually Levi is inspired by Feitan so if anything, Levi is feitan’s son
Pakunoda is Annie
fair enough
@@fakeimprov3149 Levi existed in the years 845, Feitan is Levi's son, Levi teached him a lot and when Feitan found out about Nen he became a lot more powerful
lol
I am not trying to start any theories here
BUt the idea of Killua's mom meeting Killua's dad and just going, "Yeah, I will marry you and leave my son here, fuck him" sounds extremely in character for her, somehow.
I AGREE THO
oh shit you're actually right
Nice nagatoro Pfp
Actually don't agree. I'm of the understanding she actually loves her children and want them to do well
@@hagelmannen Exactly. She would never say something like that
I never bought this theory but I found it interesting that in the chimera ant arc, it plays the zoldyck theme when feitan finishes of zazan
If that isn't HUGE foreshadowing idk what is
There was also kalluto. The theme was probably for kalluto.
@@user-ww4gz7wx4t that’s what Togashi wants you to think
@Charles Hastings YEAH
@Charles Hastings I thought so too! I was like why did he do something similar to Killua
Don't forget the mother said I won't lose another when Killua left again
Could be in reference to Kalluto though since Kalluto had just left.
@@LuciferArc1 kalluto goes after killua
Yeah
There is alluka..
@@maramarie17 alluka didn't left.
Wasn’t Feitan also one of the troupe members who couldn’t get a fortune from lovely ghostwriter because his date of birth is unknown?
It was either birthdate or blood type I think.
@@BuffPsyduck cap
@@BuffPsyduck Blood type should be easy enough to test for.
Last name and birth date.
@@amvinreyes5828 but we know his last name...
He might be related to killua's mom since she's from meteor city
She might of been 14 because the zoldic family is FUCKING WEIRD
yep
What if she cheated?
Then why Kalluto 'think'of him as-per theory, a long lost brother? Not uncle or sumthin
Yeah he could be her younger brother and that wouldn't really conflict with anything.
Kikyo got pregnant in meteor city , the father left and she couldn’t take of the child so she gave it away and lost it. That’s why she’s always manipulated and cares about losing about her children, for example when Lilly’s left she started going crazy-it probably some type of ptsd effect
Man, it’s really a Bummer we saw only Noob-Level and Master-Level for Transmutation; and even worse, we just saw overall Transmuters the Leastttt. The Ants were the right time and place for Togashi to give us some mediocre Transmutation-Nen, right?
Remember that baby that was left in metor city.maybd it was fetian
@@nenmaster5218 too bad most the ants were specialists
I would watch a 10 season series about The Phantom Troupe
Literally same
Yeah
Ikr same lol
I wouldn't miss any episode from a reality show about them
@@alexeiharp7676 I would watch an animated reality show😭😭
Another idea that I have heard of is that for whatever reason, Kalluto got mad at Feitan and in childish nature went to Alluka and wished him out of the family, but Kalluto was the only one with memories of Feitan, which is why he wants to get his brother back, because it was his fault. And also seeing as he had no memories of himself either, so his time spent in meteor city, he made up his name, but doesn't know his own age or date of birth which is why it was never told to us. Also, also, I speculate that the reason Alluka has her hand up in the picture was that she was holding Feitan's hand, but since he was erased, it looks off for Alluka.
This is the most plausible explanation I think. Would fit perfectly
This is actually a really cool theory.
It's not likely since while the wish wouldn't be known to the family,the severity of the next 3 requests would.
After they found out about Alluka's power they started putting the wishes,requests and punishments on record,they would still know if such a heavy wish like erasing someone was made.
That's a good point xD
@@psykevski unless Killua was the next one to make a wish
I can't be the only person that thought Kalluto was a girl.
I knew that early on. But I spent years thinking that Melody was an old man. :(
Zoldycks clearly don't confine to traditional gender norms it seems, I'm still confused about Alluka being a he meanwhile killua calls her sister.
@@Victoria_Viray when Melody finally finds that sheet music or w/e to turn her back to her orignal form, I can almost guarantee she will become best girl.
@@bushy9780 I read somewhere that Alluka is male but identifies as a female. The reason Killua is the only one in the family that addresses her as a female is because he's the only one in the family who respects her.
@fxncy.shyla_ ! I first watched HxH when I was very young (around 8yrs old) in my country's dub. Her voice sounded female (probably is) with a very heavy lisp. She's actually Iconic in my country, but her gender was never specified (I didn't even remember her name) I only learned her name and gender in my late teens when I re watched the 2011 version.
Maybe killua’s mom didn’t tell Silva that she had a son and just abandoned him with is why she now has children problems
sounds logical to me!
Doesn't sound logical to me due to the unlikely idea of kikyo hiding shit from her husband and revealing it in front of at least her young child.
It just doesn't fit the dynamics of the zoldyck family.
@@Supervergil1 BUT! Kikyo has a Son and Mother bond with Kalluto so she prob told him he abandoned a child before she married Silva thats why Kalluta said “Im going to get my brother back”
@@smexyunderscore oooooooo this makes sense
Just to stir the pot a little more, the Zoldyck theme plays when Feitan begins his ability. Coincidence?
"!" YEAH, I WAS LIKE WHY IS THE ZOLDYCK THEME PLAYING???!!! i'm so invested with this theory for some reason lol
@@flipnotesarenostalgic9553 it's fun! I gives the already interesting Zoldyck family a new dynamic that can be explored further😃
It's more interesting than Kalluto just wanting to get strong to get Killua back
Wait that’s crazy-
I rewatched it and I think the zoldyck theme was focused on alluka not on feitan. After alluka left the battle scene the theme changes. But it is still interesting
@@raisins7976 yes I know, but I was thinking that right after Kalluto talks about getting his brother back, the Zoldyck theme starts playing and then it shows Feitan. So like, maybe there’s a reason for that lol
I believe he is I mean Killua and Feitan have a lot of drip
Drip from the blood falling of their hands after their kills?
@@misters6749 more so like their clothes and style but that works too XD
@@SamTheGumMan117 no it’s drip
yes. you are right
yeah this is the legit way to understand someone
He dyed his hair black in his rebellious phase it’s actually white lol
that sounds a lot like dabi from bnha
Grqqn; omg that makes sense
😂
@@grqqn I agree
cant only one son have white hair since that son becomes the next family head
Idk why no one's talking about the fact that Feitan's Nen Ability is also pretty inline with the assassin training that Killua went through. Since Pain Packer relies on Feitan needing to be able to withstand a lot of damage he has to have a high pain tolerance like Killua does.
Also Feitan could've just straight up dyed his hair. Changing both his first and last name isn't out of the ordinary, especially if he didn't want the rest of the family to be able to find him. White hair doesn't seem to be very common in the place where HxH takes places so dying it black would help him blend in more. I personally think that the missing Zoldyke is missing
Have you guys heard the other Zoldyck Child theory? It's quite the story. I'll put the evidence first, and you'll quickly figure out who I'm talking about.
1) One of the most powerful characters in the series.
2) Is known by the Zoldyck family.
3) Very knowledgeable about the Hunter Exam.
4) Name follows the name chain. (IlluMilluKilluAlluKalluTo)
5) Deceptive, as any assassin should be.
6) Amazing survivability.
7) Sharp mind.
You know exactly who this is, and now we can confirm it by this amazing evidence. Tonpa is a Zoldyck confirmed. (IlluMilluKilluAlluKalluTonpa)
IlluMilluKilluAlluKalluTogashi
This confirms that Yoshihiro Togashi is actually a Zoldyck.
PLEASE I WASN’T READY FOR THAT
------?-------
---?----------

Nah man tonpa is too overpowered, the zoldyck family can’t compare
ngl you had me in the first half XD
I love the “Togashi changed his mind” theory. Makes the most practical sense.
Togashi was just “kidding”
Togashi: I considered it. And I was like "eh."
@@ChasehaWing lost cause now
@@justsomeonehere884 Feitan, i believe, choose 1 of 2 simpliest Ways.
Remember, Transmuters are Unique in how they always have to keep in mind not to hurt themselves with their own Aura (Remember, Killua is a total exception),
so Feitan is using Weak Emission and Strong Conjuration on top of his Transmutation-to-Heat.
So his way is Transmutation, Emission and Conjuration. The Other way is Transmutation, Emission and Manipulation.
But Manipulation is farhter away, so that’s the prize for having to learn really just very small Emission (you just have to seperate it from yourself, the Rest is just Target-and-Shoot!!)
Man, it’s really a Bummer we saw only Noob-Level and Master-Level for Transmutation; and even worse, we just saw overall Transmuters the Leastttt. The Ants were the right time and place for Togashi to give us some mediocre Transmutation-Nen, right?
@@nenmaster5218 I like the thought of the power system...holy cow I just had an idea, instead of having an anime project the image of "specializing in one category is how powerful you are. If you're an enhancer then you realistically should only focus on making powers around it or the main focus of your fighting style should be focused on it" we could instead make a anime power system where effectively it doesn't matter the affinity, cuz you can mix and match the types of known power types or categories or elements to create personality based abilities that's not so limited ( what I mean by that is imagine if Gon could use any aura type he wanted, how do we know he would want enhancement? And what sorta abilities would have create? Hell an even example would be kurapika, he explicitly said he wanted to be an enhancer but ended up with conjuring, what type of abilities did he have in mind????) Then you could every type of nen be correlated to a hatsu type. Like each nen( Im tryna create my own stuff as you can see in this comment, but don't have a name yet so nen will have to be a place😅) would be the sheer basic form of the aura type. Like think of ko and almost all of the advanced forms of nen control for combat be connected to things like enhancement and emitters
Also hope you have a nice day
I won't be surprised if Togashi just forgot it. Because he is Togashi.
HAHAHHAHAJA FR
Imagine meeting togashi and asking him about hxh and he says “what... OHHHH I FORGOT SHIT SHIT SHIT I GOTTA GET BACK TO WRITING”

Fun fact!! Togashi has already created a lost sibling dynamic in YuYu Hakusho with Yukina and Hiei (who Feitan resembles and behaves like so much)
Just a fun little insight that makes me even more on board with this theory happening in HxH too
Its not the same lol Go re watch yu yu!
There's also the fact that the zoldyck theme song was playing during his fight with zazan

@@janstolzenburg113 how?
@@JuanJimenez-lh4be Because he doesn't have Zoldyck blood. Neither his mother or father would be Zoldyck
@@sovereign4535 True, that wouldn't make him a *_Zoldyck_* sibling, but it _would_ make Feitan the half-sibling of the Zoldyck siblings, due to sharing the same mother.
Yeahh it does
Kills mom is different from the rest of the siblings?
I feel Feitan is the half brother to the Zoldyck siblings. Kikyo being pregnant at 14 isn't new territory for Togashi either because in his earlier work Yu Yu Hakusho, Atsuko gave birth to Yusuke at 14. Also both Kikyo and Feitan are from Meteor City so this could very well be possible for this Hunter x Hunter theory.

the amount of times when u was watching hxh and noticed a concept or a scene and thought “wow just this in itself could literally be its own anime”
Since the age isn't 100% sure, for all we know Feitan could be a lost twin of Milluki who somehow got separated from the family and raised in Meteor City while still a toddler. This could explain why they have similar eyes and, IIRC your Nen class is somewhat based on your personality (don't flame me if I'm wrong) and that could explain why he isn't a black-haired Manipulator, since he was raised in another family and therefore might have had a change of personality
This guy is gonna keep the fan base up and running till we get another animated series.
Till we get another animated series? You mean IF we get another animated series?
“till we get” a man can dream
@@69231 Im pretty sure there will be but it can be 4 years/10 years/ 15 years and i will still wait.
I don't think we will get any more animated HxH. The anime only seems to portray the original canon that Togashi wrote before changing his mind to keep on writing HxH, which he later on regrets doing.
We got the series 😈
This could be GREAT for the future of the show. Imagine feitan being a zoldyck. Now kurapika has not only the phantom troupe to worry about , but potentially putting the entire family after him as well as his close friend killua. Theory
hmmmm maybe but i feel like if he where to be part of the family they dont want anything to do with him so i dont think kura has to worry about them although killing feitan will be a problem in itself
@@toastsloth4831 yeah it would take some damn good story telling, just saw a comment saying he was wished out of the family using alluka and now that's got me thinking too lol
@@kavanahthestoic9325 yea it was good buti saw another comment sorta debunking it honestly hxh leaves so much to the imagination
I highly doubt Killua would care about Feitan's since he tried to hurt Gon. I also don't think he would risk the safety of Alluka just for revenge. Illumi and Kalluto are trying to bring Killua home by joining the Phantom Troupe, so I think Killua would try to stay away from the troupe as much as possible.
Any ideas we come up with will only ever be close to what Togashi decides to do. So even an iffy idea from fans might be pulled off well enough by Togashi, meaning Togashi would know how best to fit in ideas like Feitan being a Zoldyck. Feitan’s character design just looks like he needs to be a more significant character than what we’ve seen from him so far, considering he looks like fan favorite Hiei.
When the chapter came out and Kalluto said that he wants his brother back, I was 100% that he meant Killua because Kalluto left the family after Killua went traveling with Gon.
Yeah, i just assumed this too though i didn't understand how joining the troupe was supposed to help with that. But to me it was obvious at that moment that Kalluto meant Killua
I actually remember that it was told that silvia once killed a member of the phantom troupe maybe that one was the father of feitan and kikyo husband
So she just decided to go with the winner (Silva)
That sound# on brand for Togashi: Hey, remember that throwaway line Silva had about killing a Phantom Troupe member? Bet you didn't think it will tight into a future plot!
What if Silva's "Never betray your friends" comes as a hindsight resolve of Feitna's abandonment?
Feitan, i believe, choose 1 of 2 simpliest Ways.
Remember, Transmuters are Unique in how they always have to keep in mind not to hurt themselves with their own Aura (Remember, Killua is a total exception),
so Feitan is using Weak Emission and Strong Conjuration on top of his Transmutation-to-Heat.
So his way is Transmutation, Emission and Conjuration. The Other way is Transmutation, Emission and Manipulation.
Silva says he doesn't like dealing with the phantom troupe and he can be seen fighting against chrollo. He fought against chrollo because he went to meteor city to kill feitan becuase he found out he was alive and wanted to get rid of him so he isn't tied back to them. And the reason he tells his kids not to mess with the phantom troupe is because he doesn't want them meeting their half brother
or feitan being his younger brother but who knows or the phantom troupe are stronger than his children
Not true
@@jylgeekd2498 theory
All while illumi is working with the troupe in the manga
@@jerryyang2934 illumi is like *"i supposed to avoid these weirdo mfs.. nahh screw it"*
I also have a theory supporting this. You Remember the time when Silva called all his sons to gather up and told everyone not to fight the phantom troupe. Maybe he told that after seeing that feitan is a member of the phantom troupe.
So if kikyo actually gave birth to feitan at the age of 14, maybe she abandoned him because she was too young? Assuming he’s the half brother.
I don't think silva would abandon his kid. I like the theory that kykyo abandon feitan
Especially a son since Silva wants a successor.

Kalluto might of really wanted to find his brother because he gets no attention from his other siblings and wants to find someone who will care about him.
If that halfbrother theory is true (including the fact that Alluka was written as a deux ex machina). It's more likely that Feitan is Kikyo's child.
Cause at the zoldyck arch while talking with Gotho alone in the garden she said something about Killua being the and i quote "the only child i can't give up nomatter what".
And she said this right after arguing with her husband about Killua leaving. It's a bit sus of her to say this in such type of topic. Unless she still holds badblood and burried guilt about leaving her first child behind.
That would also kinda support her crazy sensitive attitudes about her children going outside her reach and control.
If she was 14 and with child, it wouldnt seem odd of a 14 y.o teen living in the litteral slums to give up a child to marry into a rich home.
feitan is silva and chrollos child that's why they glare at each other when they fought
Hahahahahahahahaha
😂
Nice
Sth8
Wth they ain't gay
The half brother kinda makes sense with Kalluto since he is *always* with his mother, and she has a huge amount of influence on him, so if he somehow found out that his beloved mother had a child he might consider him more of a brother than the rest of his brothers.
Are they are she or he wtf is this lol
@@Austinfdp sorry I meant he, since Kalluto is a trap, to be fair it's confusing and I called him "she" only once...
The first time i watched HxH and saw Feitan, this is exactly what popped in my head. I thought for sure he was a Zoldyck and it would be a plot twist later in the story. Was a bit sad when that didn't happen.
Kikyo Zoldyck was 18 when she had Illumi. I can't imagine her having a child before Illumi.

she's from meteor city, which is supposed to be a slum city. its unfortunate but very common for girls in slums to give birth in their early to mid teens
It also makes a lot of sense when you think of feitans hatsu. The zoldyk kids get tortured constantly so he might have been tossed as a kid when they realized " oh shit we have a kid we can't really punish or else we will all die." If all the troupe members were scared just imagine the first time he used it. That might be why the mother has those bandages as well. Because I'm pretty sure her speciality is torture. That could also be why feitan loves torturing people so much.
She had the bandages because of Killua. He slashed her face
@@Astroboyofthestars honestly that was such a power move on his part
Feitan, i believe, choose 1 of 2 simpliest Ways.
Remember, Transmuters are Unique in how they always have to keep in mind not to hurt themselves with their own Aura (Remember, Killua is a total exception),
so Feitan is using Weak Emission and Strong Conjuration on top of his Transmutation-to-Heat.
So his way is Transmutation, Emission and Conjuration, aye. But other stuff is also possible.
My theory:
Feitan portor is harry potter's half brother
WAHATAGHUJIklahjk
Lily and snape's son 😱😅
Hence the black hair
WHEEZE
Dont give Togashi ideas lol
Such genius.
In addition, remember when Feitan fought Zazan? Zoldyck family's theme plays along with it.
This channels been in my feed for months but I didn’t realize till recently and I love it so much I had to finally subscribe.
im a fan of the theory that Alluka/Nanika re-wrote itself into the reality of being a Zoldyck, and effectively replaced Feitan as a Zoldyck sibling. Although the biggest plothole for this theory is how only Kalluto seems to remember it as such.
Someone else’s theory was that Kalluto got mad at Feitan for something then went to Nanika and wished him out of the family. If Kalluto wished him out of the family I feel like he would remember something like that. That’s why he wants to get Feitan as his brother back…
Something Zoldyck related which always seems odd to me is that there's so many siblings in Killua's generation, yet it seems like Zeno and Silva were both only childs? Seems a bit off to me considering it's big ol' assassin family, but with this being the case it seems like there's not a whole lot of members of the family outside of the Killua generation
I just assumed they died maybe to be the new leader you must kill all your siblings? Or being an assasin is dangerous but you're right we never talk about their uncles and aunts
It's possible they had siblings who died, or just haven't been introduced
I just always Assumed that only the white haired heir had children and keep running the family business
And given how nen battles go it’s possible and relatives just died from either age or from battle, after all they are assassins and will go after anyone for the right price
Silva the only one with passion and energy
@@xavmanisdabestest i like this theory. The new leader is the only one who can have kids or like you said, kills off all the others. Like their own little family succession war.
And perhaps, i'm going down the rabbit hole now, when Silva first fought Chrollo he was there to kill Feitan off, his younger brother.
I really liked this video and its insight into the authors writing style. I thoroughly enjoyed this tyvm
I have two theories.
1. With the names maybe feitan has a silent I making it feitani. Definitely not backed up just and idea.
2. Alluka made his family forget ( memory wiped) feitan becuase of something he did. And sent him to the junk place where no one could find him and look for him and never make a connection to the zoldyk family. And maybe the reason the other sister remembers is because of just that. There sisters and alluka didnt want to her to forget what feitan did or always remember whatever he did. Just my thoughts and ideas.
New theory: Hisoka is Gons brother
That would be gross cause he gets turned on when Gon shows any promise or potential

Happy new year
This theory sort of inverts the idea of Hiei looking for his sister, Yukina, in YYH. Also, compare Hiei versus Makintaro to Feitan versus Zazan; in the former Yukina is watching Hiei fight not knowing it’s her brother, in the latter, going by the theory, Feitan doesn’t know his sibling is watching him fight (another inversion).
I was thinking the same, the parallels to Hiei are insane and also not uncommon for an artist to try and "evolve" a character idea from their previous works into a more fleshed out story, especially with the popularity of Hiei and the tragic lost twin trope, it might be true, but I really think Togashi abandoned it in favour of better ideas
Whenever you mentioned that Togashi could've been hinting in the manga that Feitan was the mystery Zoldyck brother because the picture was shown in the manga before we met Alluka, I remembered that the anime showed silhouettes of the Zoldyck family members, in which Alluka was also shown. So there are two possibilities, the first one being that the anime wants to create something different and decided to hint Alluka's existence from the beginning, or Togashi wanted to confuse us. The latter seems more realistic and something Togashi would definitely do, however the former is a possibility I'm considering after watching this video.
I remember when Silva was fighting chrollo he got a flashback of the last time they fought it was a place with junk and dust it looked like meteor city
Yes it was in meteor city and an unknown phantom troupe member was killed by silva, then shizuku joined replacing the killed member (number 8)
Imo I think "getting my brother back" refers to Killua
Kalluto was merely implying strength with the emphasis on ranks and power looking at how strong Feitan is
thats kinda irrelevant tbh. why would kalluto join the troupe TO RETRIEVE KILLUA? It made more sense if he meant Feitan instead, doesn't it?
@@helenzhang9689 it would, but like he said he could have just been saying that, while viewing feitan fight, that THAT was the strength he needed to achieve to get killua back at the bare minimum
@@illusions500 but if you think about it more it wouldn't make any sense. Why bother joining a dangerous band of thieves instead of doing some other easier and faster jobs that grant much more experience and more strength over time? And here is my theory as well to support my previous point. I noticed how silva said to his children to not get near the troupe? And why is that? Thank about it. It could be that Feitan is Kikyo's child who she gave birth to before she met silva. And when they got married they kept the child at first but after that maybe silva got annoyed at him for smth so he decided to ditch him and kill him. But when he found out her wasn't dead after all, he wouldn't want rumours about their "lost brother" to be told and known by the other kids. And since kalluto is rl close with kikyo- he could have been the ONLY one who knew about this.
@@illusions500 my theory wouldn't be correct after all and it could've just been random details that didn't rl make sense. But if you think about it that way, it explains it all. About how Feitan shows that he despises POSSIBLY his past family by saying "family? What's that" to the dying mafia in the invasion of the Yorknew auction (in the manga Franklin was the one who killed that last survivor, but in the anime they changed it to Feitan being the one who killed him. I wonder why they changed such a detail that most overlook...)
@@illusions500 (too much typos in my theory lmfao sry pls dont get confused-)
My theory is that this whole thing with Kaluto will be a "Togashi Forgot" moment.
My brain is going so many ways right now- So imagine that Feitan is a brother for example. I don’t think he would of stayed with the family for that long. Mainly because it obvious Illumi was the guinea pig. Just looking at Illumi, how he acts, how he does things. It’s obvious. Feitan is 4 years older than Illumi. So the theory that Feitan was a half brother made more sense. However this creates problems for people, mostly kurapika. Yes, many times Killua says he hates his family. And that he wants to trap and kill his family. But by looking at it, Killua would never let someone kill his family. Killua has a soft heart. Even if they brought him so much trouble, he would never be able to forgive himself. Illumi himself literally says that when he dies he will always haunt Killuas heart. And we see that Killua has a special place for Illumi in his heart in the Phantom Rouge movie. Since 2/5 known Zoldyck kids are in the phantom troupe then I don’t think Killua would just let Kurapika kill them all. And if it is revealed that Feitan and Killua were related, I don’t think Killua would let Kurapika kill Feitan. Which would cause trouble to Kurapika.
Or, Feitan is just Feitan. And that he isn’t apart of the Zoldyck at all. Yes, he looks VERY much alike the family. Very close to milluki. That could just be a coincidence. Unlike people, it’s hard for authors to create a bunch of different people. And having black spiky hair is fairly common in animes. Idk lmao
if feitan is 28 ima go die in a black hole i thought he was like 14 and he's my favorite caracter
nah hes just too short for others to think that he's old. Imo he is at least 25+ years old.
@@helenzhang9689 he's my age and my height xD sucks being a short adult. Someone thought I was like 18 years old xD
www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/6f42v8/so_according_to_this_feitan_is_28_years_old/
He’s an original member of the troupe. I highly doubt he’s anything under 20
I thought so too but like levi is 30+ age despite his height too lmao
I sort of agree that Feitan seems a little old for the timeline to be reasonable. I really could see him being Kikyo's brother (or maybe even cousin), since they're both from Meteor City. A 14 year gap is actually a very reasonable gap for siblings (the gap in the Zoldycks is larger). Do we know Kikyo's maiden name?
Edit: Also, if he is actually younger than 28, it's entirely possible Kikyo wouldn't even know about him, having already left Meteor City for good, and he wouldn't know that his sister married into the Zoldyck family.
Edit 2: Also, Kikyo is an accomplished assassin in her own right. It seems unlikely that a loyal Zoldyck would marry someone who is not skilled in assassination techniques, so she likely learned before meeting Silva. It could be that Kikyo and by extension, possibly Feitan's, original family is also historically a family of assassins based out of Meteor City. In that case, Feitan leaving to join the Phantom Troupe instead of continuing as an assassin would actually make him a less wholesome parallel to Killua's decision to leave the trade. That could also explain why Feitan appears to be more adept than the rest of the Troupe at things like interrogation and torture, as both those skills are shown to be within the purview of professional assassins in the world of Hunter x Hunter.
Reminder: Hunter x Hunter has been absent from Shonen Jump for 100 consecutive issues. We have hit a new milestone guys yay T.T

Before this, HxH is hiatus longer. Around 5-10 years i think.
@@mohdnazarudin2636 nope, this is the longest hiatus and is still going
I don't know whether to make a hiatus joke or a bungee gum joke, but good video i was really curious about this despite just finishing the anime and starting the manga
kalluto has a strong connection with their mother, so what if kalluto wanted to bring back feitan for the mother? cuz the mom is so obsessed with her children and maybe she feels bad about abandoning feitan and kalluto wants to help fix that.
I’m actually on the boat that thinks that Feitan is actually Silva’s brother instead of Killua’s
yes his younger brother it would be better like that, not his son or if feitan was his son that we should wonder if he is a boy or a girl
@@mimoninja1 ohhh so like feitan could have been born female and they disregarded him because of that? Or? Did you mean something else?
@@scaramochiie17 I think he’s referring to the kalluto situation and how he is a boy who is made to look like a female, that or vice versa it was worded weird but that was what I took away from it
@@mimoninja1 yeah I’m only convinced cause of how Netero was so old but looked the same age as Zeno, also how there’s a zigg zolydyck who breaks the name trend they have for first names. So my theory would be that he uses nen to make himself younger, he’s probably Silva’s brother or even his cousin (like the offspring of Zigg zoldyck??), he left the family to do his own thing (like zigg and killua, possibly maha?).
It would explain why no one recognizes him, except for Silva and Zeno. It would explain why his age is a mystery. It would explain his abilities in terms of physical and nen. It would also explain his appearance as well as his attitude in general. The only thing I feel is missing from it being factual is more information on zigg and maha
@@chiefbologna5719 the name thing is only for the kids
In the anime The zoldyck theme plays when faitan fights the chimeria ant
Best context, can’t stop watching fr keep it up
In the zazan fight he also did that thing Killua does when he looks like he’s in multiple places at once, so he’s more zoldyck in fighting style so maybe he was just trained by a zoldyck
Illumi could place a manipulating needle into Kalluto believing Feitan is a brother... for... plots...
If Togashi want to he could fill this plothole.
But there won't be a reason for him to, and the idea of putting a needle in a sibling's head (Killua) was actually Silva's and not Illumi's. Maybe Silva found out about Feitan and ordered Illumi to manipulate his older bro into forgetting that he's a Zoldyck...idk
@@hugnboba Could always create/unveil a reason to. For example, to keep tabs on Hisoka (who he didn't know was kicked out yet), or in a similar vein to how Silva sent Killua to Heaven's Arena to train ("Join the Phantom Troupe to become strong").
That said, I feel as though it's unlikely.
My first initial thought when he made his hand sharp like killua, was they may be related
Then pitou could be his sister.
@@user-tf3gk5ub4k I never said that I actually believed it. It was just my initial thought because he was the second person for us to see that he used that technique, also he was very pale. But again I never believed it to be true unless they were brothers that didn’t know about each other
It also wouldn't make sense that, that was alluka in the photo, for one alluka is too big, she is not only younger but shorter than killua yet she is depicted taller in the photo? That wouldn't make sense, also we know she was outcasted by the rest of the family so why would they suddenly want to take a picture with her?
Except Alluka is not taller than Killua in the photo. She’s definitely taller than Kalluto, but she’s only MAYBE the same height as Killua. With her standing in further in the back, we can’t tell for sure.
I feel like it makes sense if killuas mom had feitan, abandoned him at a young enough age that he wouldn’t remember his birthday, let alone his name, and ran off with Zoldyck Daddy. She would have had him at 14, which I think is an age that if you got pregnant in a place such as Metor City and since we don’t know if she even had family or her circumstances, she would abandon her baby. I think that’s part of the reason she wants to have her kids near. She already abandoned one of her kids, she’s not gonna let the other ones go so quickly.
i always thought this when i saw him cut of the head of the mafia member in york new arc which looked killua like. he also mentioned “family, i don’t know anything about that” so i just assumed that would be revealed later in the show
Fantastic video as always. That last theory about Togashi abandoning the idea of Feitan being a Zoldyck feels the least contrived and (as you noted) fits into Togashi's pattern of changing story elements partway or in btwn arcs.
One of the siblings in the family could of been angry/reckless and asked alluka to wish feitan out of the family which makes sense on why no one has any memories with or recognizes him
This theory is so interesting
The answer of so many questions and at the same time is quit problematic especially the hair thing..Feitan needs a white hair so he can be a pure Zoldyck but if he's just related to Killua's Mother then its okey for him to have a black hair..this is the problem he's not a Zoldyck he's just a half brother if this's true
I think if he were to be a zoldyck, part of the reason he left could be his hair or he could have just dyed it. Idk.
? what's wrong with his hair? Other Zoldycks have black hair too.
@@jomalomal Not other transmuters
@@spyling800 ahh gotcha, thanks!
Only 1 white haired zoldyck is born in every generation
he left because he's too short to be eldest that's why
HOLY CRAP I don't have words, thank you so much!! I really wasn't expecting you to use anything, I can't even begin to describe how happy I am!!
Personally I believe that feitan is the red herring, and the true missing zoldyck is chrollo. I believe there is a missing zoldyck, due to a recent re watch, where kikio tells gotoh when killua leaves with gon, that he is the one child she will not give up or lose. I don't really have obvious solid evidence, but I see similarities with chrollo and silva, kaluto and killua. And though I'm not sure completely I'm believe you can anagram his name to make the zoldyck surname (but I am not certain of this) I don't think he has memories of this and maybe he has some sort of hazy memories, which is why he struggles with identity.. Again sheer speculation here 😅 it's a gut feeling of sorts, but I think the missing zoldyck in the troupe was planned, it's just going to take time... (though yes I know kikio could possibly be referring to alluka)
I just found out that Kalluto and Feitan are shipped by others...
What.. lmao isn't kalluto a guy? And feitan's 28 then kalluto's.. 10.
@@joshushushu just like gon and hisoka lol
I’m definitely a Fei-fan of this Feitan theory
I'm just saying killua didnt know tht nigga
Could’ve been disowned by his family and sent to meteor city
@@xxora6568 💙
A theory I had at one point was that perhaps Feitan was the son of Kikyo and Silva found both of them in meteor city and then decided to marry her. Then one of 3 things happened. 1. Kikyo abandoned her son since she had found a new and better life without him which would be in character for her and would make since as to why Feitan has a negative view of families. 2. Feitan didn't want to be part of the family and left on his own for whatever reason or 3. He joined the family and was a member of their family for a long time, but when Kalluto was born something went wrong. This would probably be either Feitan made Kalluto angry in some way, or maybe Kikyo favorited Feitan too much and that upset Kalluto because he wanted to be her favorite or something, but either way it resulted in Kalluto going to Alluka to wish Feitan out of the family (which I know is a theory others have had before) because he wanted to be his mom's favorite/have all his mom's attention. Perhaps Kalluto even wished to replace Feitan as his mother's favorite, since in the actual series we see that the mom spends the most time with Kalluto and somewhat projects onto Kalluto the most. I don't know, there might be parts of this that don't make sense as Hunter x Hunter is hard to theorize about, but that's just been my theory for awhile, but you're probably right about the fact that Togashi just changed his mind/never intended for him to be part of the family in the first place.
Everyone: taking about anything else
Me: 12:59 JUST ONE MORE SECOND BRUH
Feitan was an absolute beast. easily in my top 3 favorite hunters
Also every Zoldyck sibling has 2 “L” in their name
Feitanall
That goes with my thought is that it's Chrollo who is the brother. A being from the dark continent took control of his body.
This also explains why the zoldyck vs Chrollo fight was rather unusual
silva
kikyo
maha
zeno
b7t yeah i know all the children have 2 l in their name
alluka
killua
illumi
kalluto
milluki
@@kakyoin5862 what if chrollo is apart of the family
@@RomeoLikayi what if gon is the secret leader from the dark continent 😳
The more I think of it, the more I feel like Feitan is possibly directly or distantly related to Kikyo. They both originate from meteor city, both have black hair, slightly similar face shape etc. Idk I may just be overthinking things but I think it feels more plausible than him being Killua's brother. :/
Nah
@@xnortheast1106 Yah
Way I see it. Probably not even really related just the same ethnicity. Their related in the same way Mikasa is an Azumabito. A clan of people who currently reside in Meteor City.
@@Ryuksgelus maybe
You have the profile pic of a really smart person....
Tell us who is feitan
Feitan: " *Family? What's that??* "
I think what kalluto said "he wants to get his brother back" was meant for killua, because he wants to get close to him and was jealous of alluka for being too close to killua. But still, great theory.
But that was before killua retrieved alluka from the basement
Kalluto is jealous of Gon for being close to killua.while kalluto is not.
Doesn’t feitan have some foreign language he speaks that no one has understanda
He speaks Chinese so it's hard for him to speak in Japanese. That weird language he speaks is backwards Japanese mixed with Chinese
@@triniteer8391 that’s kind of cool tho
@@Ria-vj3ch Yeah that's why he's my favorite Troupe member:D
@@triniteer8391 🤨 he's not speaking Chinese
@@BH-ix7nq he is, it’s even stated in his wiki profile
I think the brother that Kalluto wants to get back is Killua because it would make their mom happy and we saw that Kalluto is usually in close proximity of his mom most of the time when Gon and the others went to get Killua from his family.
But why joining the troop would do that
@@jameshollister8294 True
bye feitan high key looks like milluki but the shorter less obese version 🤠
I am fond of the idea that he was Kikyo's son, abandoned in Meteor City when she met and married Silva (perhaps wanting to start her life anew, she left all remnants of the past, including a bastard child from a teenage pregnancy, behind). But I do agree that if the theory of Feitan being connected to the Zoldycks in some way ever had merit, 'Togashi changed his mind' is our most likely answer. 😅
1:58 the images are obviously linked, the hit on Feitan's arm makes you pay attention to it, as in his left arm would be holding Allukah's right hand in the above pic.
Feitan is a cousin of the Zoldyck family, on their mother's side, who is his aunt
No
Or Zoldyk's side, since Feitan is freakishly strong. I hope we get to meet Silva's siblings, if he ever had any. Killua has a buttload and it's fair to assume there are other siblings from Silva or Zeno's side. That be dope
That would invalidate kallutos statement of getting his brother back though seeing as how they would be cousins
@@spyling800 Maybe. In Japanese, 'Brother' is rather broad and is used more commonly among non-related people in Japanese than it is in English. Lots of languages are like that. Like ateh in Tagalog, or em/anh in Vietnamese, etc.
@@Taxafolia this is hunter x hunter. we all should know strenght most of the time is through training and experience.
killua was trained to resist poison and be fast. even specialist arent born strong or powerful. except tseriednich.
he is related to the family but not in a sibling type of way , it says on a lot of websites I’ve been on that Feitan is actually a cousin.
I was always assuming that kaluto was trying to grow to get killua back for the mom cause she was never really happy about his leaving
12:00 yes, I want a HxH plot hole video
Yes me too
There is barely any plot holes and this isn’t one either he’s exaggerating.
@@Sonder4444 the only plot hole is : how Killua know about "dragon dive" during the invasion
most of the other things are just lack of informations (like in this case) or things revealed just in that moment (like with Alluka powers)
feitan age (28) makes alot of sense, in my opinion he is killua's half brother from his mother kikyo before she meets silva in meteor city, my guess is that she abandonned him there and himself ignore that he is linked to the zoldyck family
Well to be fair feitan being a half-brother wouldn't be impossible, because kalluto always follows around kikyo, and maybe kikyo accidentally let it slip OR was comfortable enough to say that they actually had a half brother, leading to kalato to thought of it, infront of the fighting feitan.
Which could lead to two reasons for that, 1 kikyo Begged kalluto to get him back as she trys to convince Silva and Geno to let him be a zoldyck.
or 2 kalluto wanted to get him back just because for the sake of it because he is still her older brother, even if its only half.
id like to add something on! feitan is the only one in the phantom troupe that we know of that can do the assassin walk (where afterimages appear) he demonstrates this during his fight with the ant
