CATDOLL: What you don't know about the setting of "Hunter" is that the prototype of Kurapika is actually the king bug

The re-run of Yoshihiro Togashi's manga Hunter x Hunter is quite good. Both the plot and the duration of the series have exceeded fans' expectations. I accidentally came across some little-known facts about the work, mainly some interesting settings. After reading them, I really felt "So that's it!" Let's take a look.

The title of "HUNTER×HUNTER" comes from the comedy group

The name of "HUNTER×HUNTER" comes from the comedy group Down Town. It is said that when Togashi was watching the show, he heard the group name "Down Town" had two syllables with similar pronunciation, so he named the work "HUNTER×HUNTER" to repeat the pronunciation twice.

Oka = The origin of the name Fulishi

Here, Xiaojie's name uses another translation "Oka", Oka = Fu Li Shi, and the name comes from corn flakes. This allusion comes from the information revealed by the voice actor Junko Takeuchi.

Killua's Family

The brothers of the Zoldyck family have a so-called naming order. If you ignore the official Taiwanese translation and use the transliteration instead, you will find a naming rule:

Eldest brother: Irmi

Second child: Milch

The third child: Qilia

The fourth child: Yarga

Youngest: Garth

The naming method all uses the syllable "Lu" (尔) in the middle, followed by a series of names.

Kurapika's prototype

Of course it’s not Pikachu. The red eyes that can enhance abilities through anger are actually inspired by the very famous work “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind”, which is the king insect whose eyes turn red when angry.

This story seems to be a bit damaging to the image...

Origin of place names

Many of the place names that appear in the story are derived from real place names, such as the city of Uxen is taken from New York, the continent of Ulbion comes from the European continent, and the continent of Yagen comes from Asia.

Wilfen's Secret

What is considered to be the most crucial turning point in the ending of the Ant-Man arc is what Wilfin said before his death. In fact, "Wilfin" is "well fin" in English, and the time when the character appeared hinted at the final development of the plot.

Speaking of which, the latest progress of Hunter has been full of surprises recently (both good and bad...), and fans have been complaining about it, but one thing is certain, no matter what opinions everyone has on the development of the story, they still hope that this serialization can be longer.
