Welcome to the Kill Count!
I'm Kaleb, and I've only done this once for a Halloween special!
So, this year I was thinking, what's the move?
Well, we can take two birds out with one stone with this.
I commemorate the return of Hunter x Hunter and give you a new special!
So, let's get to it!
What are the rules?
I have to see it or get a number for what I don't see.
That's about it!
Hunter begins with the Hunter Exam Arc!
It's a great introductory story where we establish our characters, look into our relationships,
and count the sheer amount of those lost to the horrifying hunter world.
It's time to get started!
[Ep. 4] So, we don't have to worry about anything
happening until Episode 4, where they get to the second part of the exam.
There's the fake examiner, but since they were just a "man-faced ape," I feel that isn't
easy to count.
But since we'll be counting ants later, I guess this is fine.
[Ep. 5] In episode 5, there's -
Ok, so that's one?
[+1] That's two.
[+2] Ok?!
THAT'S 12?!
From the Claymore Mushrooms?
What the heck?
[+12] Now, these are only Hypnosis Butterflies,
but I can't imagine I'd see these guys later, considering what's around them.
So, that's another 4.
[+4] That's 8.
Thanks to a cliff and the Ruse Raven. [+8] Now that's nine guys against Hisoka and one
remaining.
There's the one.
Alright!
Cool.
Now, mind that this is ep. 5; ok, there's a lot more to go through.
How we're at this, many kills?
I'm just as surprised as you are.
[+10]
Ep. 6 That guy's dead.
[+1] Those three are cooked too!
[+3] Get it, cause this was the cheffing episode.
Ep. 7!
Two guys try to argue with a child!
They didn't know that this child was Killua Zolydyck.
(They explode.)
[+2]
Ep. 8!
So, everyone needs a person who finds out for us all.
This guy is the first, and he's blown away by this giant-winged baby monster or something.
[+1]
Ep. 10!
Hisoka adds another tally to his kill sheet with his fight against Togari.
You know, Togari reminds me of Chu, but that's just a Yu Yu Hakusho character, so Togashi
is allowed to do that.
[+1]
Ep. 11!
Killua shows us his shadow step and ultra instinct before ultra instinct and adds another
body with his battle against Johness. [+1]
Ep. 15!
When trying to initiate a fight with Hisoka, this character named Goz just dies because
he was already fatally wounded from getting into it with Illumi. [+1]
Illumi also confirms that he blapped this Sniper that tried it.
Apparently, the Sniper's name is Sniper without the n.
Siper, or Sipper, or something.
[+1]
Ep. 16!
While Gon is fishing for some points, Hisoka SMOKES this guy with a sword.
While Gon is running away from Hisoka, Geretta has already got the drop on him.
Hisoka returns to give Gon his button because he got everything back from Geretta, who he
just smoked.
[+2]
Ep. 17!
The gang got caught up in a snake trap by a post-humous Bourbon.
Ponzu turned the dude into a pincushion, but Bourbon's got the frame traps.
[+1]
Ep. 20!
Even with context, this is probably one of the biggest what the hell moments in "Hunter."
The next death is Bodoro, and he didn't even do anything.
I think this also tracks back to when Killua was pissed with Netero and just smoked those
two guys from before.
I can definitely understand that Killua is going through a lot, but goddamn.
[+1]
After this, there's a dry period in deaths, which is probably a good thing considering
how wild the Hunter License Exam arc was.
But let's do a checklist for the time being.
We have a total of 52 for the Hunter License Exam Arc!
People killed by the exams: 32 Hisoka has got a good number with 13.
Killua's got 4.
Illumi's got 2!
And Ponzu, of all people, got a good 1!
On to the next arc!
Ep. 32!
This episode is in the Heaven's Arena arc.
It's also the only kill we get here too.
And that's in the famous battle of Hisoka Vs. Kastro.
Unfortunately, a clone and the "Wolf Fang Fist" was not enough to defeat the Joker.
Episode 43!
Goddamn, that's so far.
I thought it was called Hunter x Hunter man.
Where's the hunting?
Anyways, our first kills back are some of our biggest pile-ups in these couple of arcs!
The Phantom Troupe goes completely wild on this underground mafia auction!
I had to make a stitched photo of the panning shot to get all the bodies we had laid out.
Franklin, in one clip, takes out 119 mafia members!
Until we get further, this might be the largest massacre by any character.
One of Nostrade's bodyguards also dies to Franklin, the clone guy Tocino. (+120)
After that, Shizuku makes sure no survivors are left and smokes Baise and Ivlenkov. (+2)
Yorknew, in this singular episode, doubles all the arcs before it combined.
And I'm not even done with this.
The episode isn't complete!
It's time... for Uvogin.
That's one!
In this rampage, we'll see many people getting smacked up, but I have a stitched photo for
this.
These three aren't surviving this.
But here's the image.
There are 30 mafia members laid out.
So, I'll say that everyone getting smacked up is most likely present in this photo.
(+30) And after getting pegged in the head with
a bullet, Uvo gets his get back.
But what's so crazy is that Goku's reaction to getting hit with a rock is more dramatic
than Uvo with a sniper rifle.
I guess that says a lot about Krillin.
So!
A few willing members of the gang want to help contribute to Uvogin's kill streak by
challenging his durability with a BAZOOKA.
As you can imagine, it did not work.
They try to escape, but.
Yeah, there wasn't a chance.
But let's say that some anime stuff happened, and the previous bodies despawned, and these
ones from this perspective are the ones we just saw getting smacked, which would be about
16!
(+16)
And now, it's time for Ep. 44!
(Another ding!
Fade into Uvogin smiling) Ep. 44 is THE Uvogin episode.
After messing up their hand from PUNCHING UVO and trying to keep him stuck by burrowing
in the ground with his arm, Worm faces COMPLETE OBLITERATION.
Uvo takes a BITE OUT OF THE COMPETITION.
That boy Leech!
Rest in Peace!
That is an unblockable projectile, buddy!
Rapid Dog!
Out like a log!
That is a stab boom burst!
Porcupine has run out of time!
Now, after this, Kurapika gets Uvo all wrapped up.
So, that's all the deaths we get in this episode.
Episode 45!
So, I love that Shizuku helps me out with the following members of the shadow beasts.
Since there are 10 in total, and Uvogin took out 4, the remaining six shadow beasts here
meet their fate against the troupe.
But!
We know that Chrollo uses Owl's nen ability in the fight against the Zolydycks.
This means Owl is alive, and only five Shadow Beasts died here.
The last death of this episode is when Phinks takes care of Dio.
Yes, his name isn't Dio; no, I will not be telling you what it is.
(pause with a black screen)
Dalzollene.
(With a picture of the HxH wiki page dedicated to him.)
Episode 46!
Franklin passes by what looks like one of our hired men.
Who do we give the number to?
Then there's these two later on in the episode.
Episode 48!
The battle against Uvogin and Kurapika.
A masterclass in fighting and animation that many would learn a lot from.
Unfortunately, we're not learning here.
We're counting.
(Cut to Kurapika burying Uvo) And there's the one for the episode.
Episode 51!
The troupe had got the news of Uvo, and it's time for their "get back" soon.
This guy wanted to track Chrollo down like prey!
Unfortunately, like Killua, Chrollo is not the one.
These two are super dee duper blapped.
Now, Chrollo's requiem happens after a lot of these, but for montage purposes, we'll
bring it here.
This is...
Requiem!
6!
For Phinks and Feitan!
5!
For Franklin!
2 for Feitan!
6 for Phinks!
4 for Shalnark!
1 for Pakunoda!
And 11 for Machi.
But hold on, this the remix.
Another 6 for Franklin!
4 more for Feitan!
6 for Phinks!
And another 1 for Shalnark.
Onto episode 52!
Here's one of the most critical fights of Hunter.
Chrollo faces against this clown, and Oh, oh wrong clown.
A mafia member controlled by Shalnark takes out 6.
The troupe is trying to close in on Kurapika as we speak.
Feitan and Phinks get one each with a flash kill.
Good thing they're playing URF, so there are reduced cooldowns.
This guy on the phone hears someone die, but I'm just going to give this number to the
entire troupe since we don't know who did it.
Kurapika finds one of the hired assassins, most likely taken out by Chrollo and his many
pens.
Episode 53!
In this shot, there are six guards.
Because of how big of a job the ten dons are, I imagine
these guys are donezo.
In this shot are the 10 Dons.
They are all dead here.
Illumi also confirms that they're all dead on his call with his Dad, Silva.
Also, the character we saw earlier on the phone, he dies here to Machi.
Very interesting because when looking up his name, you find out that not only is his name
Bean, but he's voiced by the voice of the announcer in Smash 4.
Now, getting to this episode, I will say that my heart sank.
Because I never really expect to feel so bad for a character I don't see much in the entire
franchise, but Togashi really did his job with Squala.
This really sucked and honestly, I'm still upset about this happening years after seeing
it.
I'm sorry that happened Squala.
Whenever Nobunaga drops, we'll be playing a requiem for you too.
Episode 58.
Kurapika gets another part of the spider by taking out Pakunoda.
Or well, I guess she took herself out technically.
It's all for the spider.
Now the next arcs are Greed Island, and the Chimera ant Arc.
But I won't be finalizing number until the next video.
If this video gets good reception, I'll be sure to prioritize it.
Thank you all for watching, and God speed.
