The ultimate sad fact is that HxH is still on hiatus.

[thegirl.savior]

the saddest fact in hxh in my opinion is about illumi.
he’s the oldest, meaning he was probably the “lab rat” for his parents’ torture methods, seeing what worked and what didn’t. all of that abuse made him psychotic and basically emotionless. he truly loves his siblings, but he wasn’t ever taught how to love correctly, and believed harming others was a way of love, which is why he and hisoka get along.

[Woerm]

Another sad fact about Hisoka: In the 1999 anime, a character that represents togashi himself in an episode stated that Hisoka was poor as a child. The only thing he had for food was "bungee gum" which he would chew for days even after it lost it's flavor.

[sz..]

Killua has said many times that he can create electricity without being hurt because he’s used to being electrocuted by his family for so many years 😭😭 AND NO ONE EVEN SAID ANYTHING-

[sandwraith]

Neferpitou is the only guardian that actually cares about Meruem feelings and supported his idea of getting name. However they are also the only guardian that didn't found out about Meruem's name

[keldreamer]

the younger the zoldyck siblings, the brighter their eyes. the younger they are, the less torture they suffered.

[crustybunnyy]

Why do I feel like this video could be just as long if it was only about killua

[pannajohns]

I see some people complain and bash Leorio’s character, because he’s ‘weak’ and ‘useless’, but they forget Leorio doesn’t have the time on his hands like Gon or Killua, he actually has to study really hard to be a doctor WHILST learning nen and then somehow trying to balance out the two. Also, obtaining and possessing a nen ability and enhancing it the way Gon and Killua did (also if you include their natural talent as a whole) is EXTREMELY rare and Wing even explained his disappointment when he forcefully had to rush the basics (because Hisoka blocking the way and they only had 2-3 hours to get past him), and he also told Zushi that they are 1 out of a hundreds of millions. Most ordinary people like Leorio and Zushi learns nen at an ordinary and slower pace, but even being able to learn nen and obtain such powers is incredible! You gotta love how in the Yorknew Arc Leorio didn’t even know about the 6 different categories! Then in the Election Arc we see him use his Emitter abilities and give Ging the most satisfying punch ever in history! I love Leorio so damn much and I wish people would take him more seriously (sorry for the long rant) <3

[clydestuff]

Like kurapika we are all now drowning in complete emptiness

[beebie_weebie]

This video actually made me sad wtf this is not fair. The Mereum and Komugi part really got me though.

[itsmefm]

Rip to all the characters who died suddenly and unceremoniously like Cheetu and Penguin dude 😭😭😭
I didn't even like Cheetu but his death was just so surprising I was in shock

[sofigzz]

Me: Has not finished HxH and doesn't want more spoilers
Also me: Oh, a video about HxH tragic moments including characters I probably don't even know? Great **jumps right in**

Btw the video is awesome <3

[frxsted_rxse]

let’s hope when togashi recovers from his current state, he starts working on hunter x hunter as soon as possible.

[Harryboy-hbg]

The saddest fact I'll say is with Pitou
despite being the the most loyal guard, and the only one that cared of Meruem's growth and Komugi, she sadly died before ever learning the king's name.

[dilucsleftear]

No cause Colt and Reina during the chimera ant arc made me ball my eyes out.
He sacrificed himself for his little sister but she died too 😭

[IhaveloveforPink]

I have a sad fact about a few ig
Gon: gon was left by his dad and raised by his aunt mito. Except, mito raised gon out of pity. It soon came to the fact where gon grew to be curious about his fathers location, he then became a hunter. All the hard work and almost dying at least 4 or 5 times just to find out his own dad doesn’t want to see him. And gon’s rage almost cost him his life, and his motives kept changing throughout the show because notice that almost every season he loses someone and risked his life for them even if he knew they were dead. Gon cannot accept that.

Killua: killua is probably one of the hxh characters who went through a lot of emotional physical and mental damage. He was raised to kill and tortured daily to the point where he grew to think it was normal because he never experienced a normal loving family nor childhood. When killua and gon became friends killua saw gon as his light and he always tried his best to put his life into keeping his light glowing. As we all know, killua is somewhat suicidal about the fact that he betrayed his first ever friend/loved one, he was also willing to do everything in the chimera ant arc before the fight, (SPOILER) he almost risked his entire life after the fight with the ortho twins.


Illumi: illumi was often seen as emotionless, overly and creepily obsessed, and strong. Illumi obviously became emotionless for a reason, which means the family probably tested their torture for killua on illumi. As you can see illumi doesn’t have friends and he’s a loner, he hangs out with hisoka for business purposes. And gon came to killua and brought him freedom, the only thing that killua and illumi don’t have in common in this situation is that. . . Illumi was never brought freedom

[voucdung]

I think Hisoka was never meant to be taken seriously as a representation though. Togashi is very open about homosexuality ( he said he wanted to make a story where everyone is gay lol). Hisoka was just meant to be a fun character, I don't think he was made with any homophobic intention.

[redbloodclot]

I'm so glad that Togashi is probably gonna continue HxH because he said he felt bad for ending Yu Yu Hakusho all those years ago and doesn't wanna repeat the same mistake again.

[anvi]

togashi is just so skilled at writing complex characters that anyone could look deep into.
