Talk:List of Hunter × Hunter characters

message: In this section, someone mentioned that his mother refered to Kalluto as "she."  Is this from the original japanese transcript or the translation?  Since japanese don't really use pronoun so much, it is possible that the translator used "she" by mistake.  Does anyone have the manga in question in japanese?

replies: text: I'm pretty sure the original Japanese doesn't specify a gender for that character, in-story. The official guidebook (in Japanese) does say it's a boy though. Erigu (talk) 04:40, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Actually, no. Killua calls Alluka his "妹 (imouto)," or little sister, in chapter 322, so it's not a translation error -- she is definitely a girl. Why Togashi has gone against his initial statement of all the offspring being sons, I'm not sure. Kalluto, for now, is still classified as male as per the guide book.XScar (talk) 02:52, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's straightened out now; Alluka is a girl, it's just that Silva said that he didn't consider Alluka human or part of the family, so as far as he's concerned, he has only sons.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.134.7 (talk) 04:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: And now there's another curve ball. Killua calls Alluka his "sister," while Milluki and Illumi call Alluka their "brother." I think we should probably put the gender issue on hold until it's officially addressed in the manga... and I'm sure it will be. For now, we might want to go back to saying he's a guy (?), since it's always been the "Five Zoldyck sons."XScar (talk) 23:37, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe Alluka is a hermaphrodite. You can interchange "he" & "she" on the 3ed gender & be both right & wrong at the same time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.134.7 (talk) 05:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Kalluto Zoldyck

message: Should the Zoldick family all be put into a separate article from the minor characters? They seem significant enough. .::Arbitrary::. 18:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO the only really significant Zoaldyeck family member is Killua....who is already on the main character's page. I guess it won't hurt to give them their own page...but then there's the question of where to put Killua, on the Zoaldyeck family page or on the main characters page? He would clearly belong to both. Yaksha 12:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I guess Killua could be like Hisoka--there's a section for him on the Ryodan page, but it just directs to his main page....::Arbitrary::. 20:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: okay, finally got around to doing it. Most of the information is directly copy and pasted from this article...so it still needs some fixing. Yaksha 10:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: About the Zoldick family

message: ops.. sorry, i listened better then ainime in streming and it looks that Razor (i read in subtitles) and Reiza (i listen) are the same person.. which is the correct write?
--83.190.151.205 02:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They are the same person. "Reiza", when pronounced as a japanese person would, sounds like the english word "Razor". So it's essentially the same name. One is a direct japanese romanization. The other is it's equivalent word in english. --`/aksha 13:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: double write

message: Removed this section from the "minor characters" article, since I don't remember there being any such character in the manga / anime, it looks like vandalism to me, especially considering the horrible quality of the section's writing. Whitetigah 15:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also removed "Samara", for the same reasons I listed above (it even had a <character not done> tag after the description...). Whitetigah 15:55, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Acyara Estreda" 

message: Would anyone object to me reorganizing the character list? I want to change to something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Naruto_characters
Names in columns, merge  "Minor Characters"/"Monsters"/"Hunter's Association" list into this article, then split them off into more intuitive groups, "Greed Island Players", "Chimera Ants", "Hunter Test Examiners/Participants", leaving the rest on the main page.
I'm not sure I like the use of the animanga character infoboxes either, most of them are nearly empty or simply contain the obvious information that they are a HxH character and were created by Togashi. Gender could also be indicated in the description. I like the Naruto list format from an organizational point of view.

thread_title:  Reformatting 

message: Looking through the article, almost every name is different in Viz' release of Hunter x Hunter then that of what the scanlators came up with. Because of this, we have both names listed in the articles about the character. Right now, it looks a little messy on how we set that up. So can we go through the article and maybe do something like (using Novu/Knov as an example) "Novu, known as Knov in the Viz Media translation, DESCRIPTION" and so on for all the characters instead of having some in parenthesis, unbolded and such?  XScar (talk) 18:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Do exactly that format, double bold + description, if you want :D Add it into the "for reference" section I wrote at the top of the Talk:HxH page and we can treat that as a guideline for the future. -Zyrxil (talk) 01:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure as to why fan spellings should be mentioned at all... When it concerns characters or elements that haven't been introduced on the official English language release yet, sure, but apart from that... Erigu (talk) 04:43, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: They shouldn't, unless a significant number of reliable sources use them. Those are rare cases though. At most here it may be with Gon's last name as that was translated differently by multiple sources.陣内Jinnai 05:10, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean Up on Names? 

message: I was reading through volume 20 today, and Gon says something along the lines of "Only Aunt Mito and Noko." Going off that, could Gon's grandmother's name be Noko? Or could that possibly be someone else on the island? (Gon said that line talking about how to do a pinky swear) I've been trying to look it up and also looked at the credits for episode 1 of the anime, and I couldn't find anything. Just saying this since she is left out of all the wikipedia articles.XScar (talk) 19:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What page? I've never noticed it. -Zyrxil (talk) 01:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's on page 95, bottom-left panel.XScar (talk) 16:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I guess it could be Mito's grandmother (yes, it's Mito's grandmother, not Gon's grandmother), but it's completely ambiguous, and Gon doesn't use "-san" for Nouko like he does Mito, which he probably would if he was talking about someone that old. In any case, the character's probably too minor for it to matter. -Zyrxil (talk) 21:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gon's Grandmother? 

message: Somebody has screwed something up when trying to change Chrollo to Kuroro. There isn't even a section for him anymore. The article now continually switches back and forth between the two (and also is evident on the main page). Need to switch it all back to Chrollo Lucilfer and make a section for him
XScar (talk) 11:49, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chrollo 

message: So lately all HxH sources (newest chapters, new anime website, etc.) keep calling Netero's secretary "Beans (ビーンズ)," when previously we have all known him as "Maamen (マーメン)." So I did some browsing to try and figure out what was up, and on this niconico-pedia they have this listed: "ビーンズ（旧アニメではマーメン）" "Beans (Maamen in the old anime)."
So I'm guessing the original anime just stuck a name to the character, similar to how they created a design for Gon's house or a hair color for Hisoka which both would be shown to be wrong by Togashi later.
Does anyone else know anything about this?
XScar (talk) 16:45, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it's just as you say. Beans is his real name--Maamen was the name given to him in the first anime. I changed it. -Mr. Toto (talk) 19:02, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Shūeisha's recent Hunter x Hunter Sōshūhen, the character's full name is "マーメン＝ビーンズ" ("Maamen Beans" (sp?)). Erigu (talk) 10:14, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Netero uses the kung fu. Is this information official? 

message: This is from the Japanese characters page:
this was from Hisoka's: 嘘つき・気まぐれな性格で頭の回転は極めて早く、人間性には掴み所がない。天才的な格闘Hisokaを持ち Chrolloと闘う為だけに団員を殺し幻影旅団に入団し、GonやKilluaの成長に性的興奮を覚える など、常軌を逸した戦闘狂である。己が最強であり何にも属す必要がないと考えているため、旅団入団も単なる 手段に過ぎず実際には偽装入団であった。
また、人間を理由なく残酷に殺す快楽殺人癖もある。第286期ハンター試験では、気に入らない試験官を半殺 しにして失格になった。Hunterになりたい理由の1つとして「人を殺しても免責になる場合が多いから」 と述べている。但し、GonやKilluaのような気に入った人間に対しては、たとえ自身が不利益をこうむ っても守ろうとする面も持ち合わせている。偏に上記の性的興奮に因るものである。
& this was from Illumi's: 父と共にKilluaを一流の暗殺者に教育した人物。その教育方針は、どのような状況下でもKilluaが 絶対に死ぬことがないようにすること。Killuaを歪ませた張本人であるが、これらの仕打ちは、Killuaに対する歪んだ愛情からくるものである。

message: Perhaps we need to put the complete list of Zodiac's members? Can't we copy about the Zodiacs from Hunterpedia?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Book knight (talk • contribs) 10:20, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of them are still heavily unimportant. The most important two (Ging and Pariston) are already listed. I think Cheadle might need to be added as the arc progesses, but for now, I don't see a reason to add the rest. The only think we can say about most is them is their name and their zodiac sign anyway.XScar (talk) 17:58, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Improved the page

message: I added a paragraph for Kon (aka Konta), Gon's foxbear friend on Whale Island.  Editor Xfansd undid the revision with the comment that Kon is not a notable character.  While the 2011 anime reduces his role below that of the manga, the 1999 anime actually increases his role.  I added Kon because
# he illustrates Gon's love of living things, and how he gets along with beasts
# he plays a central role in Gon's bond with Kite
# from age 9 to 12 Kon was one of Gon's dearest friends, if not his best
# he has a presence in at least 2 arcs, and it is clear that Gon had told Killua about him
# while not able to speak, he is portrayed as intelligent
I don't consider this an issue of great import, but I was surprised to see that his section had been removed.  I suggest it be reinstated. – 2*6 (talk) 23:16, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
