[edit] Background
Still a mystery, no one knows where he came from or who he really is, except for Hisoka himself.
Attributes:
An erratic, volatile, killing machine that enjoys the act of killing, especially people whom he has targeted as victims, one being Gon. He believes himself to be the best fighter in the world, and always seeks to challenge anybody who appears to be equally powerful as him. He has set his current sight on Kuroro, the leader of the Genei Ryodan, finding him to be a worthy opponent which he would want to kill with relish. Hisoka was number four in the Genei Ryodan, having joined it by killing the previous fourth member.
[edit] Talents
Notorious for his cruel and deceitful fighting ability, Hisoka has proven to be deadly. His deviousness and volatility has made many opponents difficult to anticipate his next move, and this has led to him winning many battles. Using poker cards as his weapons, he throws them with ease and deadly accuracy, which cut into enemy flesh like a knife to butter.
[edit] Nen Abilties
Hisoka's nen abilities have served him well on numerous occasions, and especially compliment his devious nature. While fighting with Kastro, he once fooled everyone by masking his supposedly chopped arms with nen. Unlike most nen users who only have one Hatsu, Hisoka has developed two:
Deceitful Texture (also known as "Texture Surprise"):
With this Hatsu ability, Hisoka can take an ordinary sheet of paper and transform its texture to look like another object. However, despite the change in appearance, the substance itself does not change from paper into anything else. Hisoka once changed the words on the prediction written for him by the Lovely Ghost Writer nen ability (Stolen by Kuroro at this point), in order to fool the Genei Ryodan into thinking that he was innocent of betrayal. He did the same thing in Greed Island to fool Gon and Killua into thinking that the Genei Ryodan weren't on Greed Island.
Bungee Gum:
Hisoka uses nen to alter its consistency into an incredibly sticky substance (Somewhat akin to bubble gum, albeit much stronger), to pull back opponents within punching range for a flurry of rebound pummels. It can also attach to objects and pull them backwards. When detached from Hisoka, it will tear after a maximum stretch of 10 millimeters. Hisoka's Bungee Gum is impossible to see, unless his opponent can use Gyou.
[edit] Relationships
Although Hisoka is an enigma, there are marked attitudes towards the characters he meets.
- Gon and Killua: Hisoka refers to the two as "unripe fruits" and wonders why "unripe fruits look so delicious." Hisoka lives to fight and for the thrill of killing and feels that the two have great potential to become amazing fighters--and when they have become strong enough to offer a truly satisfying duel, Hisoka plans to kill them. However, in order to allow them to reach this stage, Hisoka refuses to allow them to die, demanding that the only way they will die is by his hand. In several scenes in the manga, Togashi points to the possibility that Hisoka may be sexually excited by their potential.
- Kurapika and Leorio: During the fourth stage of the Hunter Exam, on Zebile Island, Hisoka also refers to the two as "unripe fruits", however, his interest in them is minimal compared to his interest in Gon and Killua. This may be because he sees less fighting potential in them.
- Illumi Zaoldyeck: The two are comfortable with each other in the way two men of remarkably high ability would gather in a world of lesser beings. They may even be friends, though it is not known how they met, although they can call upon each other for favors. When Illumi is ready to kill Gon, he thinks that he can apologise to Hisoka later despite Hisoka having said that anyone who kills him "will not be let off lightly." However, one card wielded from the shadows stops Illumi in his tracks. Later on, he even asks Illumi to look like Hisoka so he could sneak out and meet with Gon and the others.
- Kuroro Lucifer: The sole reason Hisoka masqueraded as a Genei Ryodan member was for the purpose of defeating Kuroro in a battle. Just as this is alluded to with Gon and Killua, Hisoka may be sexually aroused by the thought of battling with Kuroro as well. Near the end of the York Shin City arc, Hisoka finally gains the chance to fight Kuroro. However, Kurapika has already stripped Kuroro of his nen ability through his use of the Judgement Chain. Thus, Hisoka loses his desire to fight against Kuroro until he can gain his powers back.
