Getting attached to some characters in different anime series is the norm. As the action and drama grows stronger, so does our bonds to the casts in these stories.
Characters die in video games and anime series all the time. Though we know that this is the nature for every show that exist nowadays, of course it is still heart-wrenching to see our beloved anime pals walking into the ultimate sunset of their lives.

Admit it that some deaths in Hunter x Hunter really caught you of guard especially if you haven't read the manga and some spoilers around Hunterpedia, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. Here are the most shocking, painful and terrifying character demise from the show. Let's start with the least remembered but disturbing enough down to the most traumatic event.
15. Bodoro
Bodoro was a martial artist who joined the 287th Hunter Examination. During the final phase of the examination which was all about making your opponent surrender to pass, this poor old guy was first beaten up by Hisoka. After a few matches between other finalists, Bodoro was matched with Leorio. Seconds after the fight begins, a pissed off and threaded Killua stabbed him from the back killing him instantly.
What is shocking about this? I didn't see his death coming since there should be no killing involved in the final phase of the exam or you'll be disqualified.
14. Kurta Clan
Famous for their scarlet eyes, the Kurta Clan was brutally massacred by a gang of class A thieves called Genei Ryodan. Those eyes were plucked out presumably and were sold to different flesh collectors. I got goosebumps right after hearing their story. What if the client demands the head with the eyes still intact? What if Kurapika's parents and Pairo's head were sold together with scarlet world wonder? Truly terrifying to think of.
13. Squala
The Usop of Hunter x Hunter didn't get a chance to live long. After the Genei Ryodan went crazy on killing the mafia men and other people in the auction, I honestly thought that he was totally safe. This was the case until the group followed his tracks with the help of the fake scarlet eyes conjured by Kortopi. As we all know, death can come immediately with the presence of the Phantom Troupe.
12. Baise
I was 10 years old back then and I don't have the slightest idea that a beautiful and seductive anime girl like her will die in a very frightening way. Baise's death opened up my mind that anything could happen. It also gave me an impression that Hunter x Hunter is of a different level compared to other anime series I've watched.
Why do I think her death is terrifying? The answer is Shizuku. And I'm scared of her vacuum cleaner.
11. Dalzollene
By the time when Dalzollene took his turn on watching a paralyzed and strangled Uvogin, I just knew that he will be dead. But I expected that things would be very exciting. As the Phantom Troupe members arrived to redeem their comrade, I thought that an epic fight would happen. Maybe I expected a lot from him and I was too shocked after Phinks effortlessly pierced his body with bare hands.
He should have sensed it. Tssss.
10. Pakunoda
Pakunoda is indeed stepping in the line of fire during the final episodes of York New City arc. Though this was the case, I never thought that she would die without throwing out a good fight like what happened between Kurapika and Uvogin. I always had that typical thought about action series that a world-shaking brawl must take place at the finale season and between one of the main antagonist's lieutenants and an avenging protagonist. But I reminded myself before, "THIS is HUNTER x HUNTER". It's an action adventure anime that won't spoil you with fight scenes but will be forever awesome.
Ready for the top 9?
9. Puhat
Now this is quite disturbing. Squala's head was cut off but we expected that to happen as he was chased by a swordsman.
Puhat on the other hand died from the explosive touch of the bomber. Before that, he was first introduced in Greed Island Arc as a very clever man as he was seen sharing his deductions about the screening exam held by Tsezguerra. Furthermore, he joined a team of veteran players which make it more unbelievable that he will be rewarded with a gruesome kind of death.
Puhat along with some Greed Island players were tricked by the bombers. After a failed interrogation, his head was cut off with Genthru's bomb and was sent back to the game to scare the remaining members of the group.
8. Gotoh
Being engaged on a battle with Hisoka guarantees death unless you are a protagonist, a member of Phantom Troupe, a Zodiac maybe, a royal guard maybe, Meruem or Netero. However, I am expecting this butler to put up a good and lasting fight but it did not happen. Hisoka seemed to be toying with him the whole time before slitting his throat.
7. Mitsuba
WTH was that?
If you did not spoil yourself by reading the manga or Hunterpedia, this must have freaked you out totally. She was instructed by Kikyo Zoldyck, mother of Killua to decline all requests from Alluka. Obeying the orders from the lady of the estate, she declined Alluka's requests four times in a row and as a result, she was instantly crushed into minced meat. Her unfortunate story alone tells us how deadly Killua's favorite bro was.
6. Meruem & Komugi
Not really a surprise but somehow crushing. One unusual pair with a very sweet and unique love story ending up dead can send you to the floor crying. At one point, the newborn Chimera Ant King came up with a decision to take the life of the Gungi player but he saved her instead of from an attacking bird. Right then and there, we started to care for the two and get scared for their lives.
During the last episodes of Chimera Ant Arc, Meruem was extremely weakened by the poison of Netero's miniature rose. He and Komugi shared their final moments together playing Gungi. They kept on doing this until the King succumbs to the contagious poison.
5. Isaac Netero
Hats off to the previous chairman of the Hunter Association. He led the Chimera Ant Extermination Team and started by invading the NGL ant colony. They failed to eliminate the Chimera Ant Queen before the Ant King was born but they were able to eliminate multiple chimera ant squadrons. They moved to East Gorteau with the plan to separate the ant king from its Royal Guards. Though they were successful in the operation, Netero-san sacrificed himself by using the miniature rose bomb to finish off Meruem.
4. Pokkle
Pokkle was one of the 287th Hunter Examination passers alongside Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio. He became a magical beast hunter and went to NGL to hunt down the chimera ants. What he didn't expect is that some of the beasts his hunting can detect and evade nen. He was knocked down by one squadron leader and was taken to the base to serve as the most delicious food for the queen.
I guessed that he has a chance to escape as he managed to hide under the pile of skulls. He could wait for the right time to show up, stun some guards and completely get himself out of the hive. This was the perfect game plan until Neferpitou hatched from its balloon and used En immediately. Pokkle gave out a dead-scared look when he was discovered.
Later, he was seen naked with his skull opened up as Neferpitou manipulated him to squeeze out some information about nen. What a terrible way to get tortured before getting devoured by a hideous creature.
3. Neferpitou
Neferpitou's death can be the ultimate shocker of all especially to those who remained untainted from spoilers until episode 131 of the anime series. It was expected that Neferpitou would be killed but who does the killing was a big question back then. Before I fetched some spoilers from Hunterpedia, I guessed that this Neko would be killed by Knov, Morel, Netero, or Hisoka (if he would show up).
I was dreaming of a Bisky, Killua, and Gon vs Pitou kind of rumble but I was really surprised that Gon took the neko out on his own. An infuriated and forcibly-grown-up Gon wiped out Neferpitou's head, body, soul and everything after being mocked on bringing back Kite.
2. Ponzu
Ponzu went to NGL with Pokkle and others. They were intercepted by some chimera ants until Pokkle was caught. She escaped from the scene and took a pause to use her bees in sending off a message. One of her bees was able to pass the paper to Kite but it was too late to save her. She resumed running to reach for the borderline of NGL but was shot down and devoured by a chimera ant soldier.
I consider this girl as the most unfortunate of all characters. Her death was incredibly disgusting, dreadful, and unexpected. The death scene was like watching a stomach-churning episode of The Walking Dead.
1. Kite
Kite earned the respect of many from teaching Gon a lesson in Whale Island, being Ging's nen student, slaughtering a pack of chimera ants in one swoop, and more. As someone who spent some time with his father, Gon looked up to Kite so much and would want him and Killua to be their next nen trainer. Since they don't have the time for training, the two friends decided to accompany the contract hunter in his mission.
They were able to defeat other chimera ants who were chasing them. While the ants are getting themselves tortured to acquire nen, Neferpitou was able to detect the trio from 2 or 3 kilometers away. Sensing the upcoming danger, Kite warned Gon and Killua to stay back. While trying to warn and protect the two young hunters, Kite's right arm was cut off.
Killua hit Gon at the back to knock him down and took him away from the scene. Kite was left alone to battle Neferpitou. It was quite a while before Kite's fate was shown. By the end of episode 85, a bruised Pitou was seen sitting down under a tree holding Kite's decapitated head and yearning for more battles with him.
Why is his death so shocking? We expected Kite to be there on the final brawl of the arc. And if he is going to die, it should be a bloody match. But episode 85? Seriously? The arc had just started and seeing Kite fading away this early is so sudden. I even pictured a Greed Island Arc kind of fun. Well maybe the G.I. arc was only a relief from the brutal York Shin City arc and Hunter x Hunter's unique kind of thrill kicks back in the Chimera Ant arc.
And most of all, Kite's death is the cause of all character changes/conflicts that really hit us right in the feels... :'(
