Top 10 Hunter X Hunter Characters, Ranked
Hunter x Hunter has developed a healthy and devoted fan base and that is due to its amazing characters, be they heroes or villains.
In the world of the mafia there are numerous families Hunter X Hunter and among them, the most important is the Nostrade Family. Originally led by the rich and powerful Light Nostrade, the key to his success was his daughter, Neon, a Nen-user with the power to predict the future. As long as he spoiled her, she provided him with every piece of information about the future he needed to build his empire.
During the Yorknew City arc, Neon's Hatsu is stolen by Chrollo Lucilfer and hundreds of Light's men are slaughtered by the Phantom Troupe. Having become too dependent on Neon's abilities, these setbacks were too much for Light to overcome, leaving him a shell of his former self. The Nostrade Family has not ceased its operations, however, as Kurapika Kurta took over the organizationBesides being a tactical genius, Kurapika is one of the strongest characters in Hunter X Hunterand employs other powerful Hunters such as Basho and Melody, and has the wealth to hire fighters more powerful than himself, such as Biscuit Krueger. With Kurapika's goal of collecting the stolen eyes of the Kurta Clan, it is unknown exactly how much influence the Nostrade Family currently holds.
6 The Kurta are made stronger by their scarlet eyes
Kurapika is the last survivor of his clan.
Kurapika Kurta is among the most intelligent and capable hunters in Hunter X Hunterand owes much of its strength to its Kurta lineage. Although they were a peaceful people, before being massacred by the Phantom Troupe, The Kurta clan has scarlet eyes which increase their strength tenfold.
As the last surviving Kurta, Kurapika makes his people proud in his quest for vengeance for their deaths. Combining his mastery of Nen with his heritage, Kurapika's scarlet eyes not only make him stronger, but allow him to transition from a Conjurer to a Specialist and use all six Nen categories to their full potential. After tailoring his Nen Chains specifically to defeat the Phantom Troupe, Kurapika fought and killed one of their strongest members, Uvogin, and captured and nearly killed their leader, Chrollo.
5 The Neteros are among the greatest fighters in the world
Beyond Netero is apparently as strong as his father
Isaac Netero is the 12th president of the Hunter Association and the strongest man of the Hunter X Hunter souls. After training for 100 years to become a Nen master and a grandmaster of Shingen-ryu, Netero was too strong to be properly challenged, which made it necessary for him to train students like Bisky, in the hopes that they could eventually fight him, surround himself with less capable training partners, the Zodiacs, and make his right-hand man, Pariston Hill, someone he knew was plotting against him, just to keep things interesting.
Wielding his impressive Type 100 Guanyin Bodhisattva attack, Netero was seen as the only hunter to stand against the Chimera Ant King, Meruem, though he himself failed to do more than scrape the would-be conqueror. Hunter X Hunter manga revealed that Isaac fathered a son, Beyond Netero, and that he is as powerful as his father, having survived a journey to the Dark Continent. Little else is currently known about his abilities.

Gon vs Kurapika: Who's the Better Hunter X Hunter Protagonist?
Gon and Kurapika are both great protagonists in Hunter X Hunter, but who plays the role better?
Hunter X HunterThe young protagonist of , Gon, is a one-in-ten-million prodigy. Raised on Whale Island with no formal training, Gon became strong enough to pass the Hunter Exam at age 12. This incredible talent is due to his father, Gingwho passed the Hunter exam at the age of 12, is currently among the five greatest Nen masters in the world and is a former member of the Zodiac.
Gon grows increasingly powerful throughout the anime, learning Nen and developing his signature technique Jajanken. After entering into a Nen Contract to sacrifice his future potential in exchange for access to everything to kill Neferpitou, Gon's full strength is shown to be on par with Meruem's. Ging was not the first immensely powerful Freecss, as his ancestor, Don, is among the few to survive the Dark Continent.
3 The Phantom Troupe is ready for any situation
The Phantom Troupe are family to each other
None of the Phantom Troupe are related by blood, but that doesn't make them any less of a family. Almost all of them come from Meteor City, whose people do not exist legally and are considered trash by the rest of the world. The founders of the group were mostly orphans with no significant bloodline, but they found solace in each other, and when it became clear that the world would never cease its cruelty towards their home and the people they loved, they gained the strength they needed to ensure that no one would ever dare harm Meteor City again.
The Phantom Troupe is the most feared and powerful gang of thieves in the world. Led by Chrollo Lucilfer, a Nen master who fought on equal terms with Silva and Zeno Zoldyck at the same timeand defeated Hisoka the Wizard in one-on-one combat, not all members of the group function primarily as fighters, with some, such as Shizuku, Pakunoda, and Kortopi, acting as support with their own unique abilities. Even as one of the weakest members of the Phantom Troupe, Shizuku still manages to defeat Pike, a Chimera Ant officer. Their strongest members, such as Uvogin and Feitan, have since defeated opponents such as the Shadow Beasts and Zazan, a Chimera Ant Squadron Leader.

Hunter x Hunter: The Zoldyck Family Tree, Explained
The legendary Zoldyck family of assassins is one of the most important factions in Hunter X Hunter.
The Zoldycks are one of the largest and most important clans in the Hunter X Hunterso it's no surprise that they're also among the strongest. At least four generations of the world's greatest assassin family are featured in the series, and nearly all of them wield impressive power. Zeno and Silva are both equal in strength to Isaac Netero, Zeno's grandfather Maha is potentially stronger than both of them, and the mysterious Zigg Zoldyck is a survivor of the Dark Continent.
The eldest of Silva and Kikyo's children is Illumi who, with his Nen Needles, is the equal of Hisoka. As one of the main heroes of the series, Killua spends much of his Hunter X Hunter reaching him, and while even his Godspeed technique does not allow him to achieve this goalallows him to defeat several powerful Chimera Ants and even injure Menthuthuyoupi. The strongest Zoldyck of all is Killua's little sister, Alluka, who shares her body with a Nanika, a being from the Dark Continent, who has the power to grant any wish. Nanika's power is beyond that of any other character, but since Alluka and Killua have severed ties with the rest of their family, it is not a power that the Zoldycks have access to.
1 Chimera ants have not been stopped by humanity's greatest hunters
The power of chimera ants surpasses what humanity can match
Led by Meruem and his Royal Guards, the Chimera Ants are the most powerful force in the Hunter X Hunter anime. They were deemed a threat to the entire world that needed extermination, with Isaac Netero, the world's strongest man, assigned to lead the Extermination Team. Despite the caliber of hunters sent to fight them, only Adult Gon managed to defeat one of the Chimera Ants' vanguards, Neferpitou, while Shiapouf and Menthuthuyoupi easily defeated Morel, Knuckle, Shoot, Killua, and Meleoron, while Netero could barely hurt Meruemand was forced to resort to the Poor Man's Rose to kill him.
Even without their leaders, the Chimera Ants pose an incredible threat. A single Chimera Ant soldier is far stronger than the average human, and with Shiapouf's skills, humans can be transformed into loyal soldiers en masse. Beyond the simple soldiers are the Chimera Ant Officers and Squadron Leaders, who, while they pale in comparison to the Royal Guards, are still more powerful than most hunters. Defeating Leol required the talents of Morel, a future Single Star Sea Hunter, while Zazan posed a significant challenge to Feitan, the second most powerful member of the Phantom Troupe. The Chimera Ants as a clan are no more, with their surviving members scattered to the four winds, but Squadron Leaders like Bloster are as powerful as ever, and as Meruem's twin sister, Kite is potentially close to her level.
