About Hunter x Hunter
Hunter x Hunter, created by Yoshihiro Togashi, follows Gon Freecss, a cheerful boy from a remote island who sets out to become a licensed Hunter — an elite adventurer — in order to find the father who abandoned him to chase that same dream. To earn his license, Gon must survive the notoriously lethal Hunter Exam, where he befriends the vengeful Kurapika, the aspiring doctor Leorio, and the former child assassin Killua Zoldyck, who becomes his closest friend.
The series is celebrated for Nen, one of the most intricate and rule-based power systems in all of anime, and for its willingness to go to genuinely dark places. Arc by arc — the Hunter Exam, Yorknew City and the Phantom Troupe, Greed Island, and the acclaimed Chimera Ant saga — Hunter x Hunter keeps reinventing its scope and tone, often subverting shōnen expectations entirely. Togashi's dense plotting and morally complex characters have earned it a reputation as a genre high point, despite the manga's famous hiatuses.
What the Hunter x Hunter Quiz Tests
The Hunter x Hunter quiz lives on Nen — its six categories (Enhancer, Emitter, Manipulator, Transmuter, Conjurer, Specialist), Hatsu abilities, and the conditions and vows that make techniques stronger. Easy questions cover Gon, Killua, and the Hunter Exam; harder ones test the Phantom Troupe's members, the Chimera Ant hierarchy, and Nen ability mechanics.
Key Characters
Gon and Killua form one of anime's most beloved duos, balanced by the coldly focused Kurapika and the grounded Leorio. The series' antagonists are legendary — the gleefully unhinged Hisoka, the Phantom Troupe's leader Chrollo, and the Chimera Ant king Meruem, whose arc is often cited among the best in the medium.

- The Chimera Ant arc is so long and tonally distinct that many fans consider it a masterpiece and a turning point for the entire series.

How players actually score on the Hunter x Hunter quiz
From 269 recorded attempts at this quiz, part of 14,110 sessions across the site. Updated periodically from live gameplay — these are our own figures and are not published anywhere else.

The average score is 8,870 but the median is only 3,383 — a wide gap, which means a small group of very strong runs is pulling the average up while most attempts end early. Judge yourself against the median, not the mean.

Hunter x Hunter Quiz — Frequently Asked Questions
Which Hunter x Hunter should I watch — 1999 or 2011?
Most newcomers start with the 2011 adaptation because it covers far more of the story (through the Chimera Ant and Election arcs) with modern animation. The 1999 version has a grittier tone that some longtime fans prefer, but it stops much earlier.
How many episodes of Hunter x Hunter are there?
The 2011 anime has 148 episodes, adapting the manga through the Election arc. There's very little filler, so nearly every episode is essential viewing.
Is Hunter x Hunter finished?
The 2011 anime ends at a natural stopping point after 148 episodes, but the manga is unfinished and has been on frequent hiatus due to Togashi's health. The anime itself feels complete enough that many fans watch it as a self-contained story.
What is Nen in Hunter x Hunter?
Nen is the series' power system: the ability to control your own life energy (aura). Every user falls into one of six categories that shape what kinds of abilities they can create, and mastering the fundamentals — Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu — is what separates strong Hunters from weak ones.
