One Horrifying Hunter X Hunter Detail Proves What Makes It A Better Shonen Series
Phantom Troupe's brutal massacre of Kurta Clan exposes their dark side. The Hunter Association shows both corruption and heroic acts through complex characters. Gon's morally gray character challenges typical shonen hero stereotypes.
Hunter X Hunter is one of those series that can get extremely grim and dark at the flip of a switch, but one overlooked detail shows the true depths of despair that the world of Hunters can reach. The Phantom Troupe, also known as the Spiders, are an extremely dangerous and powerful band of thieves that cause chaos everywhere they go.
Hailing from Meteor City, the entire group first made their appearance in the Yorknew City Arc, when they raided the auction for all the valuables.
This arc was also when they were attacked by Kurapika, the sole survivor of the Kurta Clan.
