Clearly, “Hunter x Hunter” fans love Killua’s character. His tragic backstory provokes raw emotions, but it’s his development throughout the series that really resonates with fans. Commenters expressed their admiration for Killua on the official “Hunter x Hunter” subreddit. When asked what makes him a great character, protag7 said, “I honestly think Killua has by far the best positive character arc in shonen or even one of the best from manga in general. It also very beautifully contrast with Gons negative character arc.”
Redditors focused on his relatability, like AwesomeFangirl33, saying, “His vulnerability and the fact that most of us, at some point in our lives, felt like him. He’s just so relatable and so human and he feels so much despite his horrifying background.” SpaciousAssassin echoed this sentiment, citing Killua’s struggles and how he pushed through them as something most viewers can relate to in their everyday lives.

Th3Yukio and capitalistcommunism brought up the changes Killua went through over the course of the series and how it foiled much of what happened to Gon. The two touched on the fact that while Gon may appear as the protagonist at the start of the series, and he’s often the focus of the manga or anime, Killua’s redemption arc propels his ideals and actions to a place generally reserved for a series lead.
Here’s hoping Killua will one day get his time in the spotlight.
