**Killua Zoldyck** is one of the main protagonists of the *Hunter × Hunter* series. He appeared in the 27th episode of DBX, Sasuke VS Killua, where he fought against Sasuke Uchiha from the *Naruto* series. He returned for the 52nd episode, Akame VS Killua, where he fought against Akame from the *Akame ga Kill!* series.

## History

Killua Zoldyck was born as the middle child of a well-known and merciless family of assassins. He had shown remarkable promise since birth, and was raised to be a ruthless and efficient killer since he was only three years old. Despite all his efforts and accomplishments, Killua had yet to live up to his family's unreasonably high expectations, and they had concluded that he lacked the attitude of a true assassin. This led to Illumi, Killua's older brother, implanting a particular needle in his skull to subliminally modify his character via terror. But it wouldn't stop Killua from becoming sick and tired of murdering, of not being able to have a life of his own. And so, he rebelled and left his family to become a member of the Hunter Association. There, he would meet the strong-willed Gon Freecss and, joining his adventures, would find a friend and a chance to experience true fun and true freedom. Killua would even learn of things in his life genuinely worth protecting.
