A masterpiece that transcends the realm of shonen manga! Famous quotes from Hunter x Hunter
HUNTER×HUNTER is a popular manga by Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho and Level E.
It began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1998, and despite frequent hiatuses, it’s known for maintaining a devoted fanbase.
True to the author’s remark that he “draws with the intention of killing the protagonist,” its grotesque depictions—alongside surprisingly comical scenes that feel like they belong to a different work—may be what captivates fans.
This time, we’ll be introducing some memorable quotes from HUNTER×HUNTER!
A masterpiece that transcends the bounds of shonen manga! Memorable quotes from Hunter x Hunter (1–10)
Enjoy taking detours—by all means. You’ll surely find something more important than what you want lying along the way.Ging Freecss
A famous quote by Ging Freecss—one of the top Hunters in the world and the father of the protagonist, Gon Freecss—goes: “Enjoy taking detours.
Do it a lot.
You’ll surely find things more important than what you’re after along the way.” Charging straight toward your goal without looking aside is one way to live, but the message that what truly matters lies along the journey can be a real hint for enjoying life.
It’s a quote to remember when you’re worn out from trying too hard—one that helps you relax and ease your shoulders.
I will decide my own future.Killua Zoldyck
The famous quote by Killua Zoldyck, who had been brainwashed by his family—especially his older brother—since childhood, is: “I decide my own future.” It’s striking as a message about choosing to change your way of thinking and living by your own will.
In the real world, too, when you choose a path based on someone’s approval or just go along with others’ opinions, it can leave a lingering unease.
This is a quote that conveys conviction—one I’d like to offer to anyone about to choose their path toward a dream or goal.
You don’t need any qualifications to be friends!!Gon Freecss
The protagonist Gon Freecss’s famous line: “You don’t need any qualifications to be friends!!” These words express Gon Freecss’s anger when he learns that Killua Zoldyck’s older brother, Illumi Zoldyck, told him, “You have no right to make friends.” Indeed, friendship isn’t something built on profit or status, and certainly not something for a third party to decide.
It’s a passionate quote that conveys Gon Freecss’s straightforward nature and pure anger.
The moment you stop challenging yourself is the moment your life ends.Isaac Netero
A famous quote by Isaac Netero—the Chairman of the Hunter Association and one of the most powerful figures in the story—goes, “The moment you stop challenging yourself is the moment your life ends.” These words carry weight precisely because they come from someone as formidable as Netero.
Once you stop taking on challenges, there’s nowhere to go but down.
This quote teaches us that to keep growing—and even just to maintain where we are—we must continuously pursue new challenges, or else we’ll be done as human beings.
It’s a line that offers a powerful realization.
A good hunter is the kind that animals end up liking.Kite
Kite—the person who inspired Gon Freecss to aim to become a Hunter—once said, “A good Hunter is someone animals end up liking.” It succinctly captures how he recognized Gon’s natural talent as a Hunter.
It also reflects Ging Freecss, Gon’s master and father.
This memorable quote resonates clearly with the protagonists’ pure and innocent characters and is one of the most popular lines among fans of the series.
Well, people do change their minds. Love and hatred are two sides of the same coin.Hisoka Morow
Hisoka Morow, a battle maniac with a psychopathic streak and an elusive personality who has been active since the early stages of the series, once said: “Well, people change their minds.
Love and hatred are two sides of the same coin.” The phenomenon where the magnitude of one’s love flips and turns into hatred is something we often see in the real world, isn’t it? It’s a cynical yet incisive aphorism unique to Hisoka Morow, who is both faithful to his own desires and capable of a detached, enlightened perspective.
There are two kinds of liars: those who tell only meaningful lies and those who also tell meaningless ones.Biscuit Krueger
Biscuit Krueger, who becomes Gon Freecss and Killua Zoldyck’s second mentor, has a famous quote: “There are two types of liars: those who tell only meaningful lies, and those who also tell meaningless ones.” It’s a line used to describe Hisoka Morow, and it deeply explores the meaning of the word “liar.” In the real world, opinions may differ on which type is worse, but it’s a profound quote that makes you realize a single word can hold multiple meanings.
It’s obvious that the one who deceives is at fault.Kurapika
One of the main characters in the story, Kurapika, has a famous quote: “Obviously, the one who deceives is in the wrong.” He says this to an examiner who uses tricks, and it really reflects Kurapika’s strong sense of justice.
No matter how pretty the words or how justified it may seem, in the end the side that attacks with malice is the one at fault—this message also resonates with issues like bullying in modern society.
It’s a line that blows away self-centered rationalizations in an instant, and it’s a quote I hope people will learn together with the scene in which it was actually used.
I may be inexperienced, but please allow me to accompany you. I’m sure I was born for this day…!wheat
With her pure-hearted nature and overwhelming skill at gungi, Komugi became a key character in the story.
Her famous line, “I’m clumsy, but please allow me to accompany you.
I was surely born for this very day…!” was spoken in a moving scene that conveys the bond between the Chimera Ant King—who had become a threat to humanity—and a girl who had been mistreated even by her own family.
Not everyone experiences the moment they become certain of why they were born, so perhaps it’s a kind of happiness.
It’s a deeply stirring quote that is very popular among fans.
I believe in my own strength.Leorio Paradinight
A famous quote by Leorio Paradinight, one of the main characters: “I believe in my own strength.” When you have dreams or goals, or when you must face difficulties, the first and most important thing is to believe in yourself, not anyone else.
Without that, no matter how much those around you encourage and support you, you might not be able to take the first step.
It’s a powerful line that gives you courage precisely because it comes from Leorio Paradinight’s character in the story.
