![]() ![]() Killua does not derive pleasure or excitement from killing others. Even when situations don’t call for committing mass murder, like in the much later Election arc, Illumi dives straight in and relishes killing everyone in sight to achieve a goal.Īnd he in turn projects this desire onto Killua in an effort to coerce and control him. Illumi legitimately enjoys murdering and gets off on it with his boyfriend, Hisoka. ![]() This, however, sharply deviates when it comes to Illumi, and possibly even Milluki, who both take after their mother. They’re just good at it because it’s the family business, baby! Silva and Zeno firmly iterate in the Phantom Troupe arc (and Chimera Ant arc) that killing is the Zoldyck family trade - it is not something they actively enjoy doing or pursue for warped pleasure. ![]() He even mentions it offhandedly as an ingrained defense mechanism that only people who have suffered consistent trauma and abuse tend to do:įor how terrible the Zoldyck family is, Zeno does have his priorities in order when it comes to getting paid for work In the vein of “you don’t know any better,” Killua has to physically fight his way out of the family mountain to literally try anything else to find a new direction for his life.Īs I mentioned in my post about Killua’s vulnerability when confiding in Gon, we get clues leading up to episode 20 how traumatized Killua is because of his family. They continuously label him as an “unprecedented genius,” stressing his potential to be the greatest Zoldyck assassin ever, which puts immeasurable pressure on Killua while ignoring the fact that he does not want any of it. Every (older) member of the Zoldyck clan actively works to manipulate, abuse, isolate, and give false pretenses of love in order to control Killua’s life. He was groomed to be a ruthless-assassin-puppet of the Zoldyck family, but thanks to his fateful encounter with Gon, he struggles and fights to create his own path in life while also exploring his queerness.įrom Gon and Killua first meeting and opening up to one another, we’ve known about Killua’s deep-rooted trauma and pain that’s completely warped his sense of the world, with the source of that trauma being *drumrolls* Killua’s terrible family. While the backbone of Hunter x Hunter follows Gon’s journey to find his dad, the real heart of the series is in addressing trauma - like Gon’s loneliness and (well-founded) abandonment issues and Kurapika’s grief - with the most rewarding growth centered on Killua. He’s one of the most relatable characters I’ve ever encountered in fiction, and I felt legitimately proud of him when I watched how Killua fights for himself to grow past his family’s weighted expectations. I’ve looked forward to writing about the Zoldyck Family arc and more specifically, Killua’s trauma, ever since I first considered creating HxH Detours.
