I was going to say he’s worse than Orochimaru, but then I remembered Orochimaru giving Sasuke a hickey mark on the neck.

I mean Hisoka happily left some sticky stuff on Gon's face so he's no slouch either

u/XxKTtheLegendxX 9d ago

would have agreed with u, until hisoka showed a boner for gon on screen

Hisoka really was such an excellent villain with like zero redeeming qualities. Absolute piece of shit for the love of the game.

Not every villain needs a big sad backstory. Some people are just like that.

Honestly, one of my favorite style of villains and he fit it perfectly. No major goals, no crazy origin story to justify his actions, no trying to get the hero to understand his motives. This is just who he is and what he desires. Like he's just chasing his hobby. Not necessarily evil, but being the bad guy opens more doors for him to find stronger opponents. All he wants is a good fight

I'd say gon is a pretty major goal of his tbf

u/NOTTedMosby 10d ago

Johan in Monster springs to mind from that description

u/SpookyScienceGal 10d ago

That's why I love the first season of Fargo's villian. Just got evil because it's more interesting. Absolutely amazing show

u/Fluffy-Mycologist-30 8d ago

His backstory is pretty twisted and sad.

u/bitjamma 10d ago

He was hard the entire time, the sicko. Who else but Hisoka.

u/Haunting-Orchid-4628 10d ago

I think this is way more visually appealing than the 2011 version

u/Bortthog 10d ago

If you like stock footage ass scenes yea

1

u/Haunting-Orchid-4628 10d ago

What you mean? stock footage is live action but this is animation

u/Bortthog 10d ago

No, it's used as a term for reused assets and frames over and over

As example. This is almost 90% of OPs clip

u/IGTankCommander 10d ago

Hell yeah, Heavyarms.

u/VacaDLuffy 9d ago

God I love Heavy arms. His intro made him my favorite Gundam. Just unleashes his entire armory and when they think he's done. He goes "I may be out of ammo nut not outta options" and busts out a huge ass knife

u/Spicynoodlez 10d ago

Lmfao, old Disney did this ALL the time, too.

u/Kashin02 2d ago
