[88] Three minutes before the execution, Nobunaga, Pakunoda, and Kortopi arrive at the hotel. When they discover it is almost New Year's Eve, Gon reminds Killua of the approaching deadline for the Hunter Exam. Nonetheless, Killua and Gon's friends easily complete the task[20] along with 66 other applicants. His willingness to cooperate also earns them a lot of crucial information. [43] He states there are two methods to awaken Nen, an orthodox one that would require six months, and an improper one that would jolt their Aura Nodes open on the spot, forcing them to learn Ten in minutes lest they pass out. The short path turns out to be a slide that takes all five of them to the goal mere moments before the deadline. Free shipping. Phinks cuts their retreat and announces they are not pursuing Kurapika, since his Nen may become stronger after his death and become too much for Chrollo to bear. As soon as they leave the forest and head into the badlands, they are attacked by Cyclops. [231] After he fulfills three of her requests, Killua picks her up and, hiding her face from the camera, demands to leave. Despite the plan being laid out on paper, he continues to feel anxious. [15] By that time, he had already assassinated more people than the Bomber(s) combined. [199] 19 hours before the attack, he does a run-through with Gon and Ikalgo, during which he suggests working on measures to deal with any unforeseen contingencies, no matter how unlikely. After asking him if he knows a Nen user who wears chains, Nobunaga demands to know if he prefers to die immediately or later. After taking a detour, Gon and Killua reach her in time to see her effortlessly defeat her opponent. [162] Killua loses to Gon at rock-paper-scissors, so he goes second. After dispatching a platoon in Luonton, he heads north, where he runs into an ambush prepared by Leol. Nobunaga decides to keep them around until Chrollo's return to nominate Gon as Uvogin's replacement. When Killua yells at the perpetrator to come out, a clerk turns the corner and informs them their eligibility expires at midnight. They go back to their hotel, where they find Biscuit waiting for them. After 50 more minutes, Tonpa drops into the room. [133], Killua pretends they had not chosen who would play sumo yet, assigning the win to a fodder player. Killua is also known to constantly change outfits within the 2011 anime adaptation, a notable characteristic contrast compared to Gon's singular outfit. A segment of Shaiapouf informs them that Neferpitou believes that Komugi has been rescued, and offers to stop the Royal Guard from killing Gon if they give him Komugi. [31], The Fourth Phase is a manhunt on Zevil Island, wherein the 25 remaining competitors are required to target and acquire their prey's tag. [13] Whirlwind is also effective as an offensive ability. Killua retorts he is the one doing the favor, light-heartedly adjoining that she is what Gon is coming second to. Hisoka then shows himself and pushes them further back with another wave of bloodlust, declaring they are not ready to fight on that floor yet. He then proposes finding out who "Chrollo" is since an alias would not make sense if it were simply a Spider seeking to clear the game, which they determine not to be the case. Suddenly, Palm is shocked[225] to see that Neferpitou is healing themselves while Gon is unresponsive. Killua instantly frees himself and breaks her arm. [8], At an unknown point in his life, his family determined he lacked the mindset of a real assassin and had Illumi implant a special needle in his head to subliminally remodel his character through fear,[14] as well as to prevent him from freeing Alluka from her playroom. They familiarize themselves with the monthly contests held in the city, the card conversion system, and the currency used in the game, the latter piece of knowledge being acquired at the cost of working in a restaurant for a few hours after eating a meal without knowing Jenny are not an accepted method of payment. There are two types of attacks that come with this power Killua may employ Godspeed in two different sorts of attacks: Speed of Lightning and Whirlwind. Killua snaps one of his handcuffs and threatens Milluki back. The examiner of the First Phase demands all 1489 applicants battle for two hours and bring him five badges. When his resolve reaches its apex, right before Rammot is about to land a lethal blow, Killua senses a needle in his skull and pulls it out, dodging the attack with surprising speed. When night falls, as they stargaze Killua reflects that, unlike Gon, he does not have a goal, only things he does not want to do. When the final throw, which should pierce his forehead, comes, Killua converts his aura into electricity to enhance his reactions and manages to block it. Killua runs into Phinks and tries to confuse him with his speed, but the Spider grabs him by the ankle and dodges the rocks he throws at him, as well as blocking his kick. Killua makes his presence manifest, maintaining that he simply knew he could warn them at any time. He incites a revolt, which causes him to be killed by Razor. Killua's temper flares, but he eventually complies and is allowed to meet with his sister. This prompts them to call Kurapika, who does not pick up the phone. [180] On the way back to Doli City, Spinner tells them about the Small-billed Swans from her hometown. The alliance members are taken to the lighthouse-turned-gym where Razor and the other pirates each challenge an opponent to a sport. They notice they are being followed, but their tactics manage to thwart the attempts of the first two players who try to take their "Sword of Truth", with Gon taking the spell card from a third player's hand before he can cast it. [192] He can knock out a person by striking a sensitive spot on their neck while moving at high speed, a feat which requires superhuman levels of precision. Hearing a commotion, they run towards it and find Jeet dead, his midsection having blown up from the inside. Killua hesitates, but after Silva acknowledges that he is his own person and not a mere extension of him, Killua responds affirmatively. Although the ability was unable to inflict any visible damage to, Killua and Gon Freecss vs. Melanin Lizard, Killua and Gon Freecss vs. Hyper Puffball, Killua and Gon Freecss vs. 5 Greed Island Monsters, Killua, Shoot McMahon, Knuckle Bine, Meleoron, and Morel Mackernasey vs. Menthuthuyoupi, Killua, Alluka Zoldyck, Gotoh, Canary, and Amane vs. Illumi Zoldyck (car crash), Killua and Alluka Zoldyck vs. Illumi Zoldyck, In the official databook, his name is also spelled as ". He leaves without Gon, who is determined to force him to use his right hand. Passes". [180], In the morning, Killua and a defeated Gon accompany Knuckle and Shoot to the border with NGL. He looks at the list of players Gon has met and is horrified to find a "Chrollo Lucilfer" among them. Back at the hotel, he learns from the news of a Chimera Ant attack in Pata City, deeming the threat to be sufficiently far from them. After Gon uses Rock to obtain three King White Stag Beetles, Killua suggests monopolizing the card, but they are unable to convert any more. [47], One month later he books tickets for Hisoka's match against Kastro. [27] Leroute however points out that the match is not over since neither contestant surrendered or died. Silva's refusal confirms that his family is unaware of the special rules, one of which is that Nanika must be in contact with someone to heal them. The latter pulls out his whips and tries to push Killua out of the ring with "Song of Defense", but Killua easily catches them, which result in his electrocution. He has Leorio get it for them and asks Gon how he knew it was a valuable object. Killua determines him not to be a threat and leisurely walks to him. [89], Healing Factor: Killua can recover from injury faster than normal, as demonstrated when the multiple wounds inflicted to him by the Ortho siblings healed completely in only two days. Nanika makes a request of Tsubone, who, after giving it her pinky fingernail, goes into hiding, preventing it from asking favors of anyone else and thus, potentially, from healing Gon, although Killua can still issue a command. Over the years, he's honed his skills to a point where even seasoned Hunters fail to keep up with him. [22], The 42 remaining applicants board the Selection Committee's airship, where Netero announces the next phase of the exam will begin at 8:00 a.m. the following day. [137] Killua's hands are mangled by the first two throws, which allow their team to take out "No. Killua also wears purple boots, recolored brown and black in the Nippon Animation adaptation. [208] Ikalgo's declaration that he is in his debt manages to calm his swirling emotions[209] and the boy reaches Gon just as Zeno is about to relocate Netero and Meruem. [65] They split up and begin searching, but, as Killua expected, they are unable to find anything. The latter reminds Gon that before he can do so again, they must get the ball back from Razor. Gon reveals he has experience with women, shocking his friend. [242], Illumi deduces that on top of making wishes, Killua is able to give orders to Nanika without fulfilling any requests. He tries to set Gon free by killing Machi, but she blocks his claws with her chest muscles and restrains him. [10] Alluka rejoices at seeing him, while Killua apologizes for going away. His family name alone is enough to scare the ones that know what it is associated to. [4] Thanks to Biscuit's training he has honed his skills in at least two Nen types other than his own, namely Enhancement and Conjuration. [79] After Leorio joins the group, Kurapika tells them about Limitations and Vows, adding that he will die if he uses his abilities on anyone outside of the Troupe. Being a member of the Zoldyck family, Killua is blessed with immense talent and skills as a fighter. Killua concedes he seems indeed powerful. He manages to kill most of his underlings, but the Captain blasts him off with explosive chemicals, which causes Killua to realize Flutter is still observing him. As the Extermination Team members prepare themselves for the attack, Killua glances at Gon, vowing to make sure that no one will interfere with his battle thanks to his new ability, Godspeed. Gon's words inspire Killua into getting into the business of trading "Leave" cards to weak players in return for rare cards, raising their total number to 57[125] and later to 61 (51 without duplicates). The clerk informs Killua that if he does not register by midnight, due to having failed to do so once before he will be barred from all further combat. Killua offers to talk to him briefly to simplify the conversation, which Gotoh authorizes. [161] The trio discuss their Nen abilities and advance further in Chimera Ant territory. [12], After Wing finishes his explanation, Gon and Killua leave. 4" and "No. 13". Instead of heading directly to the 180th floor, he contents himself with the 50th, as he wants to advance with Gon. He then asks his son about the Hunter Exam, the people he met, how he felt, and more. When Genthru comes to, they have him get his binder out by stating they had already planned to use "Angel's Breath" on every one of them. Through Water Divination, Killua is revealed to be a Transmuter. [13] Around the age of nine, he met and attempted to befriend the newly hired Canary. Upon learning the Godspeed technique, Killua gained the ability to react to any threat at the speed of lightning and use his peak travel speed at all times, making him incredibly hard to take on in a fight. [23][42][12][108] However, as he honed his Nen abilities, his guesses became more accurate, and he notably sensed Netero's power,[167] whereas he had downplayed it in the past. Phinks tells the two of them she was thankful to them. [119], He reaches them by night and fills them in on his adventures with Gon. Instead of dodging, he tries to electrocute him, but Illumi's conditioning causes his body to freeze, allowing Shoot to land a blow on him. [220], Palm and Killua reunite with Ikalgo, announcing their intention to stay by Gon's side without interfering with him. They take him to their hotel room and, when he comes to, enquire about his motives for joining the Extermination Team. [12] Killua is declared the winner. He can keep control of his body when his lightning aura surrounds him with the initial attack. Killua refuses, but she follows them anyway. Troubled by the importance of the information, Killua protests against Kurapika's decision to share it with them and warns him that one of the surviving members has the ability to read memories. [122] He restrains him and meets up with Biscuit. The Extermination Team freezes momentarily when Zeno's Dragon Dive pierces the palace, with the exception of Gon, who charges at Menthuthuyoupi. [121] Killua is particularly skilled at finding patterns in the fighting style of his adversary and at figuring out their weak spots, and at using them to exploit or create openings. Gon, Killua, Biscuit, and Goreinu however decide to try again after finding more powerful allies, with Killua finally understanding what Goreinu meant by "cruel". He opens the wooden vault and the three take the treasure to an auction preview,[70] where, in order to lower the price, some interested parties list ways in which the contents of the vault may have been forged. To his surprise, he does not feel any different outside of the game. [100] Biscuit was very impressed that he could create such a complex Nen ability at his age. At 9:30 a.m., the airship lands on the top of Trick Tower. His opponent reveals a birdcage and three floating hands,[178] He checks for traps with Gyo and concludes that Shoot is a Manipulator. Killua argues with him, only to be won over when Gon reminds him that he would be dead if he had dodged to the other side. [64], By the following day, the number of challengers has already decreased as rumors began to spread. He countered Sub's assault despite the latter having a superior output and his own hands being unusable. Of the four main protagonists, Killua is the only one to have failed a Hunter Exam. To figure out why Neferpitou deactivated their En, they phone Colt, who tells them the Royal Guard must have been healing someone. Going as far as to be willing to gamble with his life to get a big reward in the slot machine and seem to show heavy gambling rush in his eyes causing Biscuit to neck chop him to make him stop. [233], Killua discovers his brother's position thanks to Hisoka purposefully triggering his bloodlust. As per their request, they two of them are assigned to taking care of Neferpitou. [117] They begin with an Enhancement exercise, in which both show remarkable skill, especially Killua. [11], Killua confronts Gon about his future plans and makes him understand he needs to train if he wants to stand a chance at landing a blow on Hisoka. Just as Killua catches himself losing his determination to leave Gon's side, Knuckle calls Gon to tell him they found Kite and will be back in three days. Killua is annoyed by their persistence and leads his friends away from them. She relieves his emotional pain, telling him it is thanks to his words she freed herself from the Ant's control and that he is the only one who can really help Gon. They teleport to him and find out "Chrollo" is Hisoka, who tells them he is looking for Chrollo inside the game. [50], One month later, Killua and Gon reprise their training under Wing. As Illumi's voice echoes ominously in his mind, he rejects that conclusion and stands up, ready to fight. He notices that Gon struggles for real against a young woman. [190] To make his moves unpredictable, he continues inciting riots while moving to the south-east, until an ominous feeling makes him change direction. There, he proceeds to demonstrate the Nen of the Flame. The three make up, after which Tsubone informs him that he has been released from his precautionary level. RADIO. As soon as the man jumps in, Killua leaps after him and jams his finger into his head. Killua thus pulls out one of his yo-yos. As the Ortho Siblings taunt him telepathically, Killua realizes their ability is connected to darts, which do not exist until the moment they pierce his skin, making them unavoidable. Killua uses Godspeed as a perfect counterpoint when he wants to make quick decisions. He phones home to pay the hospital bill and be discharged. The latter kicks the Bomber, who blocks his attack and retaliates, although Killua manages to deflect his punch with his feet. He realizes that the needle was the source of Illumi's influence on him. He completes his registration, learning the exam will be held in Beeskafmarro, and, after taking a shower, heads to where the Kiriko live. Killua determines they are too powerful for them to take on and realizes they want to lure someone out. Nickes incites them to join him so they can end put an end to the violence of the game. [234], 40 km away from Parasta, Killua and Alluka come across a paved road. [35], Netero summons all the nine remaining examinees, asking them what fellow applicants have their most attention and who they would be opposed to fighting. [72], They meet up with Leorio and the three head to the bar where Nobunaga and Machi were spotted. [164] That night, the trio spots Hirin, Flutter, and Hagya, who however withdraw without a fight. Just like Gon's, Killua's talent is said to be absolutely astounding, found only in one out of ten million people. [132] Goreinu negotiates for them and Tsezguerra accepts. Wing warns them against acquiring incomplete knowledge, to which Killua responds his brother is probably a student of Nen too. Hanzo and Gon are scheduled to duel first. He is most commonly known for having a sweet tooth; he loves everything sweet and spent almost 200 million on snacks when he was at the Heavens Arena. When Chrollo, Machi, and Shizuku stop to confront them, Killua arrives just in time to take Kurapika's place, and he and Gon hand themselves over to the Spiders. Gon replies he sensed aura around it, which causes Killua to determine they can use Gyo to spot objects made by master craftsmen. [10] At the age of six, he was forced by Silva to battle in the martial arts tournament at the Heavens Arena until he reached the 200th floor, after which he was allowed to return home. Alluka asks him if she is just a hindrance to him, and a cause of attrition between him and the rest of the family. [170], The boys spend the rest of the month training themselves by maintaining Ren for three hours and subsequently heading off to challenge Knuckle,[172] but they cannot draw out so much as half of his might. hates red peppers. [17] Halfway up the stairs, Gon and Killua reach the front of the group, with Killua claiming the reason is the slow pace. In return, the villagers give them a "Wild Luck Alexandrite". Hisoka does not flinch at getting his arms sliced off He wouldn't get his arms cut off he'd be decapitated just like Killua did Ranmot only he was unable to understand he should not have tried to attack And one of the things that's fascinating about war of the worlds. Kurapika promises to call them back. Killua is convinced that he is dropping out and tells Gon to leave him behind. Killua recounts his adventures, after which Silva enquires if he would like to see his friends. He dives into the nearby jungle to lure in Flutter, who is flying too high for him to reach,[192] but is attacked by the unit captained by a bombardier/dung beetle Chimera Ant. Reckoning Illumi will use Needle People to counter his decoys, he proposes setting Teradein Neutral, Bushidora Ambitious, and Loupe Highland, the three representatives of the anti-Netero faction in the Hunter Association, against his brother due to him violating the fourth article of the Hunter Bylaws. Gon and Killua tag-team to beat him and, after Killua paralyzes him, Gon lands a near-fatal blow, but Rammot is saved by his Squadron Leader, Colt.
