Welcome to yet another high quality respect thread in my constant crusade to prove that there are kick-ass characters outside of DBZ. Today are subject is Killua from the manga Hunter x Hunter which was written by the same mangaka who made YuYu Hakusho


Killua:
Killua was born as the middle child to a family of renowned assassins, the Zaoldyeck family. Showing great promise from birth, Killua has already mastered many killing techniques at a tender age, and is set to be one of the best assassins the family has produced. Bored and tired of killing, Killua unexpectedly rebelled against his family, injuring both his mother and brother, and ran away to join the Hunter exam. Meeting with Gon during the first obstacle, Killua saw Gon as a friendly competitor, and ended up becoming fast friends. The Zaoldyeck family are world-renowned assassins so rich and powerful that they are said to employ more than 200 people and live and own Kukuruu Mountain and the vast surrounding forests. They are so fearless that they have never hidden their whereabouts, and even tour buses take visitors to their "front gates" known as the Gates to the Underworld as those who enter never return.
Killua divulges that since his youth, he has been constant training, having been left in the Celestial Tower (a tournament arena) at the age of 6, and swimming in pools of electric eels being amongst his everyday trials.
From the grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, and five sons, all are assassins. From the outside, Killua seems just to be the boy next door; cheeky, cheerful and full of mischievous ideas. However, his ruthlessness and aptitude in killing shows the other side of him--deadly, violent and bloodthirsty. Having been repeatedly tortured since birth, Killua has been conditioned to possess extreme tolerance for poison, electrocution, and pain. Possessing both extraordinary agility and strength to match, Killua is one mean killing machine

Respect granted, Killua is a beast.

Strength: Killua possesses the strength to lift between 16 and 32 tons of strength. (The door he uses at his house weighs 16tons, and the next heaviest one weighs 32 tons, so it is likely his strength is somewhere in the middle of those two weights.)

Killua takes out 1489 people at the second hunter exam(only 1 in 10,000 participants makes it to the exam, and Killua was able to take out these experts so fast that most of them weren't even able to see who floored them.

Killua also uses nen(a type of aura manipulation similar to the idea of chakra) Using nen his is able to take hits by coating his body in aura that would kill nearly all humans. He also uses a pair of two yoyo's that he is highly proficient with as a weapon. The head of each yoyo wieghs 50 kilograms or 110 pounds, and he can swing them at immense speeds and manipulate them as easily as any normal yoyo.

Killua is one of my favorite Hunter X Hunter characters . Although my most favorite is Hisoka . Still, its good to see that there are other people besides myself, who have appreciation for Hunter X Hunter, which I find to be an EXTREMELY underrated series.

Anyways, I really hope that Killua can develop his special nen ability. I really think that it will become pretty kick-ass later on. And BTW, did you hear the announcement that the HXH manga will be returning from its hiatus (which lasted over 1 year) in October? I am so excited about that!
