Illumi is just hilarious to me. His eyes are so prominent that they show up more in the series than him himself, and they essentially act as his Bat Signal
WHAT DOES 'transmute aura to have dragon-attributes' EVEN MEAN?!?! It is unclear what Zenos, Silvas and Neteros Transmutations-Techniques are/mean, and yet: Man, Transmuters have so many Representation-Problems, even if we ignore the Chimera AAnts having literally 0.
@@slevinchannel7589 They can change their aura to things they are familiar with. He is closely related to dragons. Remember the ant arc? He rode in on an actual live dragon. So he can change his aura to imitate their movements and ferocity amplified by his powerful nen mastery. We have seen about 3 of his dragon abilities so far and each one is extremely OP. Transmuters(like most nen users) are only limited by their imagination and their desire/will.
I was expecting Illumi to be the second most popular Zoldyck. Even when you look at the usual character popularity polls on the internet, the only Zoldyck who is more popular than Illumi is Killua.
Probably due to the type of people who watch NewWorldReview videos. There’s another video on RU-vid that tracks the popularity of characters from google searches and Illumi is 2nd in the Zoldyck’s and 9th overall right behind Chrollo.
@@TSignature That video doesn't necessarily represent popularity of characters, because it's unknown if it counts mispelled searches, searches without the last name(like "Killua", instead of "Killua Zoldyck") and all name variations of certain characters(like "Pitou" instead of "Neferpitou").
@@r0bin648 Fun-Fact for those that want Combat-Nen to become Bodyguards: The cost to hire an unarmed driver is around 350 per day if you provide the car. You can hire an armed driver for around 500 per day. Usually, unarmed security agents are ex-military, police or FBI agents. An armed security guard can cost 500 a day. You will easily need around 750 a day to hire an armed security agent and price can go up to 1000 a day for international jobs. You also pay for their drinks though. How much does a bodyguard cost to protect you full time? Well, you could be paying around 1000 to 1500 a day for full-time security personnel. Typically, a top-level security group comprises of around 10 members in a team and you could be paying around 100-150 per person an hour. Own Mercenary is around 1,200 per day. Nen of course should mean youre ‚armed’ or even more, so take this as the ‚lowest estimate’.
When I saw his power, I was like "I can see why they keep him tucked away from the world." That one butler fucked up asking for that money and someone else died b/c of her. Imagine all the fucked up things that would result from people exploiting his power for bigger things.
PROTECT ALLUKAS SMILE. I hope HxH-Fans or at least Zoldyck-Fans know that Alluka is a Trans-Youth, which means targeted Group. And those that know just a little bit more hopefully can tell 'Targeted by Who'. Its the Republicans and Conservatism and Religion. Those are the 3 Main-Souces, the Fuel-Stations for LGBT-Issues and Trans-Hate. Alluka-Hate, one may say. I dont try to be political here, i just say the facts in case some fans didnt know.

Good joke. Killua was legitimately surprised to hear from Zeno the silva even wanted to talk to him. By silva's own words, before that point, they'd never had a father son talk. He was 12 years old at that point. Silva actively knew about, and permitted illumi to use one of his needles on killua. Killua threatens to kill his wife if he can't leave the estate with alluka within 30 minutes. What the fuck about any of this even remotely resembles a functioning relationship besides one wholesome (and literally fake on silva's part) talk lmao
He still instructed illumi with the needle and did groom him, as far as we know, thats still not healthy at all. I like his and illumis, they are slightly antagonistic, but like siblings, not like they use each other.
I think Zeno is interesting because he is a fully professional assassin, yet retains a moral code about him. He kills hundreds of people, but only when the job calls for it. He never kills unprofessionally because he respects life, which is an interesting dynamic for one of the worlds top assassins.
I mean that’s how Silva is too. As stated after the Chrollo fight they don’t kill for pleasure only for jobs and except for that one time with komugi they have never killed a innocent bystander that was not in the hit list
@@gilmsgabriel I always interpreted it as purposeful, to mark a difference in the approach of Silva and Zeno. Also he landed directly on top of him and basically stomped him, it looked pretty intentional to me
I have to agree. I also feel the same about Silva. And considering their lack of screen time, yep a bit strange. But that speaks to the power behind Togashi's character building.
@@PoweredByEnvy I think that despite being assassins they are some of the more likeable assh*les in the series. They may be horrible people who kill for money but thats just it. Its not personal pleasure or for fun like a lot of the more disturbed characters in the series.
often less screen time characters are shrouded in mystery and also whenver they have screen time they have powerful significance so these usualy are favourite characters in many series . example red hair shanks and dragon from one piece
Imo Zeno is the most professional assassin in the family, but that doesn't make him boring. It seemed like he was having fun w his fight w Chrollo and overall he seems like a chill dude.
Fun fact: The simple reason why Maha Zoldyck is considered the most op member of the family is due to his hatsu "Subscribe button" which gives him free access to regular hunter x hunter content delivered straight into his RU-vid feed
Banana Power I mean... Alluka/Nanika would be strongest... then PROBABLY Zeno, Silva, Illumi, Killua, don’t want to continue. Lillian has Godspeed and the most natural talent but he’s not fully developed so... I don’t know about that. I’m not trying to start an argument with anyone
The Feitan Zoldyck theory makes a lot of sense. When he and the gigantic fingergun dude killed a crowd at the auction, one last person remained. Feitan killed him the same second when he said "family", meaning that he may have had trauma like Killua.
@@veronicajata3121 your just reaching because you want Feitan to be a zoldyck that's why you stated that. But he isn't one of them and if so why did kalluto react to him like that? She knows his appearance his skills, his speeds and even his ability yet she still doesn't give af about him. Why did the pictures show of the family show when killua was in it🤔? There is no evidence Feitan is a zoldyck 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah, if Hisouka didn't exist, I'm sure Killua would sweep even the Favorite HxH Character polls, too. He literally is the best written character in the story.
@@Archonsx he's literally right though. If nothing else because he's one of two main protagonists (through the election arc at least) and by far the more complex/tragic of the two. No character has had more labor put into them by the author. "best written" is subjective for my liking but you can't really offer up any valid alternative for the most heavily invested character.
Kikyo is actually my second favorite Zoldykk family member and is probably in my top 5 favorite characters in the show. There is just something so ridiculously eiree but yet so compeling about how she is acting like an overly loving and protective mother always on the verge of tears when she talks about how Killua hurt her just to reveal that those are tears of joy. She feels so bizarre, yet familiar in a way to me. My favorite Zoldykk is Alluka though, so I would sadly not vote for her to pump her number up a step. :P
I love how the Zoldykks sort of represent a lot of abusive families. I even have a friend who grew up in a mostly non-abusive family and our personalities match up to Killua (me) and Gon (him), which was hitting me so strongly while watching for the first time. And he even lit up my life like Gon did for Killua, he's closer to me than any of my family members because we both reciprocally helped each others' lives immensely and helped each other grow in different ways. And he started to fall into darkness later on while I explored the light. Gon and Killua's friendship, and their backgrounds have a lot of personal meaning to me because of all this.
What about a ranking of Nen abilities? Choose 10-20 of the most popular abilities in the series (Godspeed, Jajanken, Kurapika’s chains, Bungee Gum etc) and hold a vote on those. I would love to see how some of those compare to each other in popularity, because I feel like the highest ranking ones would be really close.
Milluki being the antagonist in the Greed Island Arc would have been amazing. Just thinking about him trying to "break" the game and not truly play it properly would have been awesome. Gon would obviously have taken issue with that and Killua would have had a personal stake in the arc too.
I'd have to disagree, Greed Island arc was mostly centered around Gon (Though it was actually both about gon and killua's progression, it was mostly focused towards gon as he could have potentially found information or possibly even finding ging himself) so having milluki being a major-ish antagonist would undermine the story.
Kikyo's not boring, her reactions to Killua acting cold are hilarious, but like Milluki, she doesn't get enough screentime for us to see more than her meme.
Hey NewWorldReview. Can you do a video on this Feitan Zoldyck Theory, I never heard of that and hearing your opinion on this topic would be very interesting
'Maha' is an Asian honorific, which means something like 'The Great'; so I think Zigg's generic alias is "Maha Zoldyck" or, in other words, "The Great Zoldyck".
I find the whole family very interesting, Killua, Zenu and Silva are my favorites, but i have a soft spot for Kalluto as she/he is an underdog, Kalluto has to deal with the pressure of standing out in the Zoldyk Family and in the Phantom Troupe that is a lot of stress to endure for someone so young.
Illumi: welp bye Hisoka imma sleep for the rest of this exam •proceeds to minecraft chop a hole in the ground and sleep in it• Me: FAVORITE CHARACTER FAVORITE CHARACTER FAVORITE CHARACTER FAVO-
REALLY?! Like im genuinely surprised. Milluki i feel is universally the least favorite zoldyck. When you compare him to the rest of the family, he's a little lack luster. But i respect your opinion. I was shocked you thought so
@@JimJamJom imo Kalluto has a LOT of room for improvement. I mean, he's the youngest. And he's always with Illumi so Illumi would prob teach him things and make him as good as himself, or even better.
I have something to add to the feitan theory, he could be a son abandoned by the mistress of the family before she married into the family so she could have rambled about that, maybe something like “I gave up my son for this family” and kalluto could have heard it because when he was introduced, he was fairly attached to his mother
I can not wait to see killuas adult form because when gon went to his adult form he was basically unstoppable so just imagine what killua is going to look like
As I’ve said before, and I will say Many times again... When Kalluto says he is going to get his brother back... •The family knows where Killua is. •Milluke rarely ever leaves his waifus. •Alluka is locked in their prison. •Illumi has yet to join the Troupe. Sooo...WHO does Kalluto have the intention of bringing back home??? 🤷♀️ FEITAN IS TOO A ZOLDYCK!!! 😠
What about making a ranking of the most popular nen powers? My personal favourite is the bungee gum from Hisoka, which possesses the properties of rubber and gum. Trully mindblowing.
i always thought miluki could have done a 180 and became like an "antagonist turned protagonist" in some badass way, cuz he has serious potential. I still voted for silva. I think hes my fav hunter hunter character in general
Squadron leaders would be a good poll to have. That or a favorite Hatsu poll. Though there are a lot so maybe limit the amount of characters in the poll. Maybe those with the top 10% of screentime in the anime or by arc. Excluding manga.
Yeah thats a cool idea heres my ranking from Favorite to most favorite Election arc Heavens arena Zoldyck family Greed island Chimera ants arc Yorknew auction arc
good morning!!! (really happy since it's my mothers birthday.:3) really love these polls mostly for your thoughts on characters(especially as i love the zoldycks,especially alluka,killua,zeno & silva.) i'd personally would be for one on the ngl members(my favorites are knuckle,palm siberia & morel.) or gon & killua's teachers.(i think you should do a top 10 shonen jump characters as i'd love to hear your thoughts or a video on cross epoch,j-stars & jump super/ultimate stars.>:3)
I’m happy with the way you described Zeno as being a mixture of everyone. You dissected each character very well and I don’t think anyone else can compete with your HxH content. So, hats off to you, my friend. Well done.
Another reason for Alluka being an amazing character because she is the most healthy and helpful trans representation in Togashi's work and maybe even in the rest of anime as a whole. I say the rest of anime because the vast majority of shows either don't have trans people or have a trap, which is problematic because it drives the argument that genitalia causes gender (which is horrible for portraying trans people) and it's always played for laughs.
It would be cool to see a poll for most favorite Nen affinity. Or maybe Nen ability. But the Nen ability poll could get out of hand rather quickly. So maybe just Nen affinity since it’s much less broad.
@@aid4nski215 Yours is a bit inaccurate. Chrollo is about as popular as Meruem, while most of the other Phantom Troupe members are less popular than Illumi.
new poll idea- characters involved with the palace invasion-> extermination team + the royal guard and king (I feel like there will be some difficult choices in such a poll)
@@narutospersona426 there is no strong character in the world of nem. we already learned that with nov and morel, while talking to killua. there is only the most creative and versatile. but even that one could lose against a better match. example: meruen could get easily killed by nov + camaleon dude. Nov could cut his head off without showing his position. but he could not fight after seeing pitou´s aura. Another example: Netero defeated the strongest nem user of all time using a bomb full of biohazard poison...
Btw you can do ranking the antagonists with: Meruem Pitou Illumi Fourth prince Genthru (1st place for sure) Phantom troupe Hisoka (heaven arena eventho he is half protagonist half antagonist) And i don't know who else
I know this could be a lot but it might be cool to see a ranking of nen users in each category, enhancer rankings, transmuter rankings, all the way around the nen ring!
Zeno is my personal favorite Zoldyck, that being said Killua being number one doesn't surprise me at all. Shout out to the old geezer makin' it so far though. I think a Phantom Troupe ranking would be pretty cool. Great video!
Could rank the chimera ant squad captains. Colt, Leol, Peak Dumbass (aka Cheetu) and the rest. Maybe a list that won't have an obvious number one like it feels like a lot of the lists have had.
Chimera Ant poll for sure. I'd say jus go for the super prominent ones; A.K.A the ones that had the most screen time and established character traits (bottom of the barrel would be like that spider guy Pike). Though jus like the last two polls, we already know who'll emerge victorious lol still fun tho
Im stuck between Kalluto and Alluka. When i saw him kill that ant and use his paper attacks. His nen abilities were just elegant and mesmerizing to watch in the anime. Hope to see more of him!
I think there’s a couple things pointing away from Maha being on Netero’s level. The first just being that since Netero’s only goal in life was to find a single strong opponent he can’t have always had one waiting whom he just ignored for no reason. The second being that Maha is still working as an assassin (helping Illumi with the Ten Dons assassination) but Netero didn’t hire him along with Zeno to help with the ant problem.
