Your Top 20 Strongest Characters In Hunter x Hunter

In every anime involving a power system or at least, some superhuman abilities, people debate with each other at different forums and social media threads. It may seem easy to give names for some anime series but Hunter x Hunter is always an isolated case.

Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of the famous Hunter x Hunter manga series, introduced the "Nen" power system almost two decades ago. Although the manga explained it beautifully, it does make more sense if you watch it in anime. Moreover, the 2011 anime adaptation of Hunter x Hunter perfectly showed imbued auras, which helped us understand the complex power system a whole lot better.

Of all the power system I know, "Nen" appears as the most well-thought, logical, reasonable, and balanced. No one can become overpowered without paying a huge price. Even if supporting characters see each protagonist as "one in a million", Togashi successfully articulated the road Gon and Killua traveled just to gain a certain amount of power.

Admit it that he got you into wanting to discover everyone's nen type and skill all because of the story behind the "hatsu", and a chance to see another unexpected way of using an odd ability in battle. Togashi got us at the edge of our seats especially at the part where Kurapika served as the bodyguard of the 14th Prince Wobble, while trying to retrieve the eyes of his brethren. Thanks to nen, its conditions to activate, its complexities, and its usefulness in many situations.

Also, because of nen,anime characters die here in a fraction of a second!

In addition, Hunter x Hunter is an anime series where everyone should use their heads. Otherwise, it will leave their bodies in no time.
