A list of characters who have appeared in the ''[[
== Main Characters ==
Line 22:
* [[Determinator]]: Oh, boy, is he ever… in his first official fight in the Hunter Exam, it's a curbstomp battle with Gon being trashed around like a body dummy. He's told to give up several times as killing is strictly forbidden if you want to pass and even if he loses this match, he still has a chance to past… three hours of being beat senseless did nothing. And almost being impaled by a blade and having his arm broken only seemed to strengthen his resolve. His opponent is literally forced to forfeit in order to avoid killing him.
** Also of note is the Bomb Devil fight, which he wins in spite of {{spoiler|having his hand blown off.}}
* [[Expy]]: Possibly of [[
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]
* [[The Fool]]
Line 64:
* [[The Gambling Addict]]: His main flaw, mostly [[Played for Laughs]] (considering it's [[Determinator|Gon]] who has to stop him from going too far)…
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Gon, though on Killua's side it borders on being [[Ho Yay]] at times.
* [[Hitman
* [[It Runs in The Family]]
* [[Kanako Mitsuhashi]]
Line 93:
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Both animes give him this, as to add to his looks.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: {{spoiler|(Before being [[Chained
* [[Death Glare]] : Even without using his [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|family assets]], he's really fond of this trope. Just look at the above image.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: So much that he's successfully [[Disguised in Drag|disguised himself as a woman]] at least twice so far in the series. Leorio even mentions at the beginning how Kurapika could easily pass off as a woman. Kuroro thought he was a girl, too, especially with that [[Attractive Bent Gender|pink pencil skirt]]...
Line 183:
* [[Hiroki Takahashi]]
** [[Daisuke Namikawa]] in the 2011 remake
* [[In Love
* [[Jail Bait Wait]]: Or something like it. He's waiting for Gon and Killua (whom he refers to as "unripe fruits") to become stronger, so that they'll be able to put up a [[Sex Is Violence|more arousing fight]] when he finally decides to "[[Unusual Euphemism|pick]]" them.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Averted; while all his outfits are similar looking, he sports a different one per arc at least.
Line 239:
-------
* [[Animal Motifs]]: [[That Guy With
* [[Ape Shall Never Kill Ape]]: While they don't necessarily hold themselves as being ''morally'' superior, they place zero value on the lives of outsiders, hypocritically place value on each other's lives to varying degrees, and are forbidden to seriously attack one another. This could also be applied on a larger scale to Meteor City itself.
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]
Line 283:
* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: for some reason he is generally reluctant to fight at full capacity, even with a [[Worthy Opponent]].
* [[Mega Manning]]
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Subverted! At one point, during a sequence of massive carnage, he instructs the rest of the Spider to let an ambulance go unharmed. This looks like a [[Pet the Dog]] moment, because in the ambulance there is a girl he was discussing with before, and whom he knocked out before the main battle, being careful not to actually hurt her… but then you realise he did this because [[Powers
* [[Power Parasite]]: Specifically, a Power Sponge - stealing abilities is his ''only'' power; the victim is effectively [[Brought Down to Normal]] for the rest of his or her life and cannot even sense other people with powers. Chrollo has a tougher time than most to obtain these powers, as he needs to meet the person whose powers he's going to steal; Chrollo needs to hear the name of the power from said person and see it performed, so he can summon his book and transfer that power into it. Completing the transfer within 24 hours is essential, otherwise, his enemies will become immune to it. In addition, he needs to hold the book out in order to use these powers, leaving him open for an attack, but Chrollo's [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|collected a number of powers from fighters stronger than him]] to compensate.
* [[The Strategist]]
Line 324:
* [[The Brute]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Defiant to
* [[Funny Afro]]: His hairstyle used to be this as shown in one flashback
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 356:
* [[The Napoleon]]: Officially 145cm tall, he's the same size than 12 years old Gon. He doesn't seem to have a problem with it, but still has very bad temper.
* [[Parasol of Pain]]: Subverted, as his umbrella is just a convenient way to conceal his sword, then doubly-subverted when the umbrella is revealed to also hold a powerful projectile firing mechanism.
* [[Playing
* [[Torture Technician]]
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: he's short, mean, sadistic, completely immoral… and Chinese.
Line 374:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: During the York New City arc, he is [[Running Gag|repeatedly]] prevented from fighting, often in slightly funny or humiliating ways.
** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: …but when he does get into battle, we suddenly understand why he's one of the first line fighters of the Spider.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 395:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: She can create Nen bullets holding any of the memories she read, or even her own, then fire them at someone's head to transmit those memories to that person. If a person receives his own memory, he becomes amnesiac. This would be all good ''if these bullets didn't keep the full destructive power of normal bullets''. [[Subverted Trope|However]], all the members of the Genei Ryodan are [[Immune to Bullets]], so…
* [[Badass in
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]
* [[Butter Face]]: A mild case. She isn't exactly ''ugly'' but her face is far from pretty.
Line 405:
* [[Stripperific]]
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Lampshaded by Senritsu, who notes that the only reason the hostage exchange was allowed to happen is because Pakunoda is much more caring and humane than the other members of the Genei Ryodan, even though she tries to keep a stoic facade.
* [[Telepathy]]: She can read the memory of people she touches; [[Magic
{{quote| '''Pakunoda''': What do I ask them?<br />
'''Chrollo''': I want to know ''what they're hiding''. }}
Line 497:
[[File:kortopi_3136.jpg|frame]]
Cortopi is a short, small fellow with a childlike voice and maybe demeanor too. His hair is so long, it normally covers his entire body and goes down to the ankles, making him resemble Cousin It from ''[[

Line 563:
The Chimera Ant is a top-level quarantined creature due to its dangers to other species. Chimera Ants are normally male (though either there are rare female Chimera Ants too or there is a continuity error), but they can copulate with a female of any species and endow her with the abilities of a Chimera Ant Queen: Anything a queen consumes will incorporate its DNA into the queen's offspring; she will then give birth to [[Biological Mashup|BiologicalMashups]] of random things she's eaten. Such offspring will receive the best physical advantages of everything it's based on. For instance, a Chimera Ant that's part human will have human intelligence and the ability to speak.
Oh, and by the way, they're [[Big Creepy
For the specific queen that begins this story arc, see below.
Line 586:
-----
* {{spoiler|[[Death
* [[Mega Manning]] (Technically, she spawns a [[Biological Mashup]] every time she eats something...when she starts on humans, they become intelligent, and when she eats someone with Nen abilities...)
* [[Monster Is a Mommy]] (NOT an excuse this time, especially considering what her son turned out to be)
Line 605:
* [[Battle Aura]] ([[Up to Eleven]])
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[Blind and
* [[Complete Monster]] -> [[Noble Demon]]: He starts out as a monster who only lives to eat, kill and conquer, and doesn't feels a silver of care for anyone except for himself. After bonding with Komugi he starts respecting his guards and accepting the value of other lifeforms.
* {{spoiler|[[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Sort of. He strikes up a friendship/UST with Komugi after getting his ass kicked in Gungi.}}
Line 611:
* [[Expy]] (to [[Dragonball Z|Perfect Cell]])
* {{spoiler|[[Flying Brick]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Face Death
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]
Line 620:
* [[No Name Given]] (He literally has no name, though finds it out later. Played for drama.)
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: And Gungi, and Go...
* {{spoiler|[[Stay
* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]}}
Line 631:
-----
* [[Blind and
* {{spoiler|[[Dying Declaration of Love]]: The translator notes that her choice of words in one of her responses to the King as he's near death and she's also about to die is similar to a pledge of marriage from a bride.}}
* [[Genius Ditz]]: or...
Line 639:
* [[Scheherezade Gambit]]: While the other game masters die pretty horribly, Komugi only survives because Meryem keeps losing to her and finds her interesting. ''She'', however, doesn't know that she's competing for her life.
** She does, though. Komugi plays every single game of competitive gungi with the resolve to die should she ever lose just once, and even that price is cheap in her eyes because she's essentially trading the life of a loser. It's part of what gains her the King's respect and admiration.
* {{spoiler|[[Stay
* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]] : She's also afflicted with the poison that kills the King, because she stays with him instead of leaving. [[Tear Jerker|Despite knowing the price.]]}}
Line 751:
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Lion-man.
* [[Making a Splash]]: Technically not his power, but it's the only one we ever see used on offense.
* [[Powers
Line 768:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]
* [[Going to Give It More Energy]]: His Nen ability lends the target power at a high rate of interest (that activates every ten seconds, too!) and gives them more every subsequent time he hits. The catch? If the nen exceeds his target's limit, [[Power Nullifier|they can't use nen for a month.]]
* [[Jerk
== Morau ==
Line 779:
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Jerk
* [[Old Soldier]]
* [[Smoke Out]]: One of his abilities, used to considerable tactical effect
Line 861:
[[File:silva_9173.jpg|frame]]
Killua's father, who resembles [[David Bowie]]. Well, as seen in ''[[
-----
Line 898:
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: His behavior in the Election arc quickly becomes reprehensible even by his family's flexible standards.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Hisoka, during the exam.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the 2011 series, Illumi is voiced by [[Masaya Matsukaze]], who is also known as the {{spoiler|[[Axe Crazy]] [[Person of Mass Destruction]] and [[Soft Spoken Sadist]] Teru Mikami}} from [[
* [[Nightmare Face]]: When he gets angry. Coupled with a killing intent so strong it's broadcasted for miles.
* [[The Stoic]]: So much, that showing emotion makes scarier than not showing them, combined with his [[Dissonant Serenity]].
Line 935:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: {{spoiler|Fights with paper of all things, and can slice through steel cable with a paper fan and dismember a Chimera Ant with flying streams of confetti.}}
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Looks like a young girl wearing a kimono. Is a member of a family of [[Career Killers]] and {{spoiler|can cut steel rope with paper}}.
* [[Overshadowed
* [[The Stoic]]: Appears to be this.
