Hunter x Hunter is one of those series you might have never watched. As one of shonen’s most popular titles, the action series follows a group of quirky Hunters who explore the world and run into lots of trouble. However, the show sometimes found itself underestimated because of its incomplete run, but that did not stop fans from loving it.
The random nature of the slots is a definitely a restriction. To further boost power each weapon could have a series of conditions to active secondary powers. We don't really know the exact multiplier science for the system so it's hard to know if he could have powered up enough to cut through Nef's natural nen defense.
And just recently, fans were able to bid farewell to Hunter x Hunter on TV when its dubbed finale hit up Toonami.
This past weekend, fans were treated to a slew of anime updates thanks to Toonami, but they were not ready for what the late-night block had in store for Hunter x Hunter. It was time for the show to come to an end as episode 148 went live, and netizens were quick to spill their emotions about the ending.
As you can see below, both cast members and fans took time to honor Hunter x Hunter upon its finale. The dub voice actors gave fans their thanks for being such supporters of Gon, Killua, and the whole gang. Fans were glad to accept the thanks to send it right back to Gon. Some were even feeling good enough to pay tribute to Ging Freecs of all people, but you can chalk that up to emotions if you’d like.
For those unaware of Hunter x Hunter’s history, it has a complicated tie with anime. Back in 1999, the popular manga got an anime adaptation that was short-lived. Hunter x Hunter continued to be published under creator Yoshihiro Togasha after the show ended before Madhouse scooped up the series for an adaptation in 2011. This new series was received much better, and it ran until 2014 as the anime neared the manga’s current point. Ever since then, things have been quiet on the Hunter x Hunter front on TV and even in print; Due to various hiatuses, Hunter x Hunter has yet to move too far beyond where this 2011 adaptation left off.
So, are you sad to see Hunter x Hunter leave Toonami...? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!
Hunter x Hunter was originally created by Yoshihiro Togashi for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1998. The story follows a young boy named Gon Freecss, who discovers that his previously thought to be dead father is in fact alive. Not only is he alive, he is a famous Hunter. Gon decides that in order to meet his father he has to become a licensed Hunter but his journey gets wrapped up in way more strangeness than he ever could have anticipated.
A Wild Ride
That's all for #HunterXHunter on Toonami! I was overjoyed when @VIZMedia announced it to premiere on Toonami years ago. It's been an amazing ride especially to see more fans come to and enjoy the show. Thank you to everyone that worked on and supported HxH! Until we meet again! pic.twitter.com/DsbeMo2f7R

I'm trying to compose my thoughts, but I'm too busy crying haha. It might seem silly to crying over something like this, but I learned so much from playing Gon. It's very rare people get to spend this long with a single character so I'm very grateful and I just genuinely love HxH

'A job at the casino?' Mito stirs her coffee worriedly, parroting what Gon had suggested back to him.
'Uh-huh! They pay waiters really well there, and 12 is the minimum age! I'll be fine, Mito-san, really!' Gon says cheerily, trying to reassure his worrying aunt. They did need the money, what with her grandmother's medical bill climbing every week...
'Haven't you heard the rumors, Gon? That the Phantom Troupe works with them?'
'Yeah, but...I'll be fine!' he chirps. 'Don't worry about me, worry about Grandma, okay?'
Mito shoots him a very wary look; the promise of more money was nice, for sure, but Gon's safety was at hand, especially with the threat of having to deal with one of the most infamous sections of the mafia hanging overhead. 'Fine, but you have to pinky promise that you won't get hurt!' she offers with a sly smile, holding her little finger out to Gon. Gon happily obliges, hooking his with hers.
'If I lie if have to swallow a thousand needles...' Gon presses their thumbs together, 'And sealed with a kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiss!' He smiles cheekily. Mito smiles back, but her eyes are solemn.
The excitement of the casino's enough to overwhelm Gon upon his entry; bright lights flash into his eyes, mingling with the smell of alcohol and the din of rattling slots and laughter. He weaves through the crowd like an excited puppy, beaming at everything he passes, until he makes it up to the reception area. He stands up as high as he can, balancing on the tips of his toes as he rings the bell on top of the large mahogany desk. A few moments later, a man with red hair and harlequinesque face paint emerges from the back and approaches the desk, peering over it to look at the small green-clad boy below.
'Hm? What do we have here? ' he muses, a smirk playing on his pale lips.
Gon feels a pang of anxiety shoot through him. 'I-I'm Gon Freecss! And I'd like to apply for the waiter position!' he blurts out; the resulting sentence sounds awkward as hell when he stops to think about it, but he chooses to ignore it.
The man raises an eyebrow. 'Hm? Ah, good, we needed one more. ' He opens the small door that leads to behind the desk and gestures to Gon. 'Come to the back, we'll have you fitted. ' Gon happily follows, trotting behind the man like a puppy: excited and blind to whatever this entailed.
'How nice, a boy your age just started working here a month ago, I'm sure he'd be delighted to have a friend~ ' The sound of heels clacking on the flawless white floor was the only sound between them; Gon could practically hear his own heartbeat. He was accepted this easily? What luck!
After a stretch of silence, they reach the door to the fitting room. The red-haired man pauses. 'Oh, how rude of me, I haven't even introduced myself yet.' He whirls around and bows in one swift motion, offering the top hat he was wearing to the boy. 'I am Hisoka, the owner of this casino. The pleasure is all mine. '

Gon can't help but feel a bit flustered as Hisoka gingerly takes his small hand, softly kissing his fingers before straightening up and swinging around to the door. 'Now, then. ' He murmurs, opening the old door with one gloved hand.
The dark storage room envelops the pair; Hisoka goes on ahead to rummage through a box. 'You're roughly the same size as that boy, give or take a few inches. ' His face scrunched into a frustrated frown. 'That's strange. That white haired boy must have taken the last small size...unless you'd like the feminine uniform. I don't like to gender my outfits, but guessing by your age you wouldn't be too thrilled to walk around in feminine clothing... ' He taps his chin.
'I don't care! As long as my legs are free, I'm fine!' Gon chirps, and Hisoka raises an eyebrow. Now this was unexpected. Obeying the boy's request, he waltzes over to the box with the feminine uniforms and cracks it open, a bit of dust flying into the air as he does so. 'I have plenty of smalls, and most of my female employees opt for the masculine uniform, so you're in luck~ ' He pulls out a package with a skimpy bunny outfit, the stereotypical image of something you'd see someone wearing in a casino. He tosses it to Gon, who catches it with lighting speed.
'Oh? Heels too, huh...' He studies the package. Along with the aforementioned black heels, which were adorned with red spades, the package also contained fishnet tights, black and red gloves with various suits adorning the ends, a heart choker, and a matching bunny eared headband.

'Do you not like them? ' Hisoka leans down to meet Gon's eyes. 'I could fetch you something else, if you like. '
Gon furiously shakes his head, actually messing up his hair in the process. 'No! This is fine!'
'... .' Hisoka grins, extending a finger to point to a door off to the side of the small room. 'There's the changing room. I'll be waiting outside. '
The man takes his leave, and Gon practically leaps into the changing room.
Zipping up the one piece outfit, Gon takes a look at himself in the mirror. His legs and arms feel so free; grinning, he takes a minute to revel in it, windmilling his arms and enjoying the lack of restraint. He pulls on the fishnets next, struggling with them a bit before getting them secure around the base of his thigh. Wrapping the choker and buttoning it around his neck, placing the ears on top of his head, pulling on the gloves, and stepping into the heels, he nods at himself in the mirror; his transformation was complete. Everything was a near-perfect fit – even the heels were amply padded to ensure that he didn't get terrible blisters. As he takes a step towards the door, he wobbles a bit, his ankle nearly bending in two. 'H-hah, I guess I'm gonna have to get used to this...' he murmurs to himself, gripping the doorknob tightly and managing to open the door without incident.
Hisoka stood waiting patiently against the adjacent wall. 'How do I look?' Gon's voice half-squeaked as his new boss's golden eyes raked over his delicate form.
'Absolutely stunning. ' The older man strides over to him to get a better look. 'It fits you like a glove, I'm glad~ ' he purrs, caressing Gon's face and gently tilting his chin upwards.
'Not yet...' Hisoka muses to himself, looking into Gon's wide brown eyes. The temptation was there, but to act now would be such a waste.
Hisoka releases the boy and turns his back to him. 'Now, shall we get going? I'll introduce you to your coworkers. ' Swiftly, he opens the door back to the narrow white hallway, and motions for Gon to follow.
Once they move out into the main building, the sights and sounds of people laughing and talking overlaid with electronic sound effects and bright lights all make Gon well up with excitement. He trots along next to Hisoka, already getting used to balancing in the heels. People and other waiters rush by as they continue on; one person in particular catches Gon's attention, as he's sitting on a bar stool, the only thing still among all of this commotion.
'Oh? There you are. ' Hisoka simply smiles as the boy turns around. He's got ruffled white hair that spikes out in all directions, and piercing blue eyes currently employed in half a pout. When he notices Gon next to Hisoka, though, his eyes soften into a curious expression and he hops down from his bar stool. 'Whatcha got here, Hisoka?'
'Him? He's our new waiter. '
Gon blushes slightly before nodding. 'I'm Gon! What's your name?'
The other boy raises an eyebrow at his eagerness. 'I'm Killua.'
'Wah, that's a cool name!'
Hisoka always did hire the weird ones, Killua thought wryly. But at least Gon looked cute in that outfit.
'I was hoping that you could show him around. ' Hisoka lets a smirk play across his lips, eyes locked on Killua's.
Killua pretends to consider this. 'Hmmm...Fine, as long as I'm still getting paid.'
'Sure. '
As Hisoka turns to leave, Killua breaks out into a grin and takes one of Gon's gloved hands. 'C'mon! This is gonna be fun! Make sure you can keep up in heels!'
Gon doesn't hesitate. 'Let's go!'
The boys race down the aisles of slot machines and tables; Gon stumbles and nearly falls onto his face a few times, but still keeps up to Killua's breakneck pace, both of them flying down the red and black carpet.

'Oi, Killua, what do you think you're doing?' a voice calls out; Killua slows to a stop as a blond boy in the same black-and-white uniform as him approaches.
'Yo, Kurapika.' He twirls around to face the other boy just as Gon catches up to the both of them. 'Oh yeah – Kurapika, this is Gon. He's new here,' Killua mentions, grabbing Gon's arm.
Kurapika smiles warmly. 'Nice to meet you, Gon. I'm Kurapika. I run the blackjack table over there,' he says, motioning to it with a white-gloved hand. 'If you ever have trouble with anyone in here, call me, alright?'
Killua stifles a laugh. 'He's like a mom to everyone around here. He'll have your back in a pinch.'
Kurapika side-eyes the white haired boy before smiling again. He didn't seem too fazed by the outfit Gon had on; working here, he'd probably seen worse.
'Oh, I should get back to my table. Have fun, you two!' He heads back towards the table he'd left behind, stumbling on a snag in the carpet as he does so; Gon wants to stay and make sure he doesn't fall again, but Killua tugs on his ear sharply and effectively tears him away from that.
'O-ow!' Gon cries, dashing to keep up with Killua. 'What was that for?'
'Just to get your attention!' Killua mocks. 'You've gotta keep up with me, newbie.'
They turn left down a row of slot machines quieter than the rest; the neon lights aren't flashing, and no patrons line the stools in front of the machines. There's only one machine lit up, and it's currently split open from the looks of things. 'Damn, another bad roll. This is definitely broken...' Gon stops in his tracks to see another man in a black-and-white uniform, kneeling down on the floor investigating something inside the machine.
Killua strides over to join Gon and smiles when he sees what caught his attention. 'Old man, we have a newbie!' Killua yells, loud enough that the man jumps and smacks his head on the open section of the machine.
'G-guh-' His flowing silver hair covers his face as he gets up and turns to face them. He towers over the two as he sweeps his long hair out of his eyes; his annoyed expression quickly softens into a welcoming one. 'Oh? A newbie, huh...' He crouches down to meet Gon's eye level. 'I'm Kite. A slot technician. I've been here for years – if you need any help, just come find me.' He outstretches his hand to the small boy, who takes it and shakes violently.
'I'm Gon! Nice to meet you!'
Kite's hooded eyes fly wide open. 'Gon? As in Gon Freecss?'
Gon nods, a little puzzled by Kite's knowledge of his last name.
'I knew those eyes reminded me of someone. Your father, Ging, was a security guard here. He fought off hordes and hordes of mafia goons all on his own. He saved my life more than once.'
Gon's eyes light up. He always thought his dad was just a traveling billionaire – he never suspected something like this. 'Wah, really? That's amazing!' Gon bounces on his heels as Kite continues.
'He was certainly a wonderful man. But he couldn't stand unnecessary baggage...' Kite mentions, seemingly offhanded. 'He left 8 years ago to travel the world. No one's heard from him since.' Kite looks at the carpet, his eyes darkening. 'I'm sure he's off in some foreign land having the time of his life,' he hurriedly reassures Gon, who's starting to look a little down.
'Yo, old man, we have to get a move on. We want this kid to get started today! Small talk can come later,' Killua snaps. Kite blushes slightly.

'Oh, I'm sorry. You boys go on, then.'
Gon's smile is wide enough to crack his face in half as he leaps up and hooks his arms around Kite's neck, hugging him as best he could. 'Thank you, Kite!'
Kite turns bright red as he returns the hug, holding Gon there. 'Ah, anytime.' He lets him down, and Gon scurries back to Killua's side once again.

'Alright, last stop: the surveillance room. The old guy in here is really uptight, but he can't do anything to us 'cause we're Hisoka's favorites!' Killua jeers. Gon contemplates this. He's one of Hisoka's favorites already?
Killua throws open the door; the man sitting in front of the screens nearly falls backwards. 'Old man, we got a newbie!'
'I already told you, brat, you can't be in he- oh my God.' The man's jaw hangs slightly agape as Gon comes into view.

Gon trots over to him, extending a gloved hand. 'I'm Gon! What's your name?'
The older man stares incredulously for a few seconds until he comes to, shaking his head and returning the handshake. 'Y-yeah, I'm Leorio. Nice to meet you.' Gon makes a happy noise in the back of his throat, bouncing a little as he pulls his hand back. 'As you can see, I watch everything that goes on in the casino. 'S my job to call security, too. It's not too much, but it's vital what with all the mafia activity in this part of town.'
Gon tilts his head. 'Mafia activity?' He parrots Leorio's words.
'Don't worry about it, kid. It hasn't happened in months,' Leorio says, comforting the boy's worries. 'A-anyway, shoo, I need to keep watch. Nice to meet you, Gon. Get the hell out, Killua.'
Killua sticks his tongue out at Leorio as he escorts Gon out of the room, slamming the door behind them; there's a large bang followed by a string of curses. Score.
'Soooo,' Killua starts as they walk down the long hall that leads to the main room.
'Hmmm?'
'Ya like it here so far?' Killua questions. Gon looks at the ceiling, crinkling his nose in thought.
'I do!' he exclaims, thinking about all the people he's met so far. 'I love it.'
