Knuckle
Stubborn Fool Who Shows Empathy To Anyone In His Path
- Debut: Anime Episode 86/Manga Chapter 200
As a student of Morel, Knuckle is a promising hunter capable of becoming one of the strongest Nen users through his ability, Hakoware. Knuckle plays a vital role in the extermination team during the group’s palace invasion, putting up enough of a fight against Chimera Ant royal guard Menthuthuyoupi. Knuckle’s primary attributes as a character are his stubbornness and empathy for others.
In a spinoff focused solely on Knuckle, the character could showcase the star qualities that make him unique, alongside his comedic viewpoint of the world and others, making for an entertaining spinoff.

Mizaistom
Member Of The Zodiacs Keen On Serving Justice
- Debut: Anime Episode 136/Manga Chapter 318
Mizaistom is a member of the Hunter Association’s Zodiac group, tasked with overseeing hunter rules and regulations. Of all the Zodiacs, Mizaistom is one of the most level-headed, with many of the others seemingly finding their role as a Zodiac exhausting. Mizaistom’s rise to the top of the Hunter Association came from his work as a crime hunter, with Mizaistom having a keen sense of justice.
A spinoff series following the adventures of Mizaistom would entail his day-to-day work as a crime hunter as he hunts down notorious criminals within the Hunter x Hunter world.
3
Leorio
Kind-Hearted Fool On Track To Become A Doctor
- Debut: Anime Episode 1/Manga Chapter 2
Known for being the comedic relief character of Hunter x Hunter, Leorio features prominently enough to be established as one of the main protagonists.

Killua Zoldyck
Young Assassin Who Changes His Outlook On Life Thanks To His Friendships
- Debut: Anime Episode 3/Manga Chapter 6

After befriending Gon, Killua travels the world with his best friend as the character breaks out of the cold-blooded cycle the Zoldyck family imposes on him. Throughout many different arcs, Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika bring the best out of Killua, developing the character into a kind-hearted soul.
During the 13th Hunter Chairman Election arc, Killua saves Alluka, his younger sibling, from the terrors of his family, showcasing his newfound care for others. In a new adventure, with Alluka by his side, Killua would continue his travels despite Gon’s absence, further developing his and Alluka’s relationship. A series about Killua could lead the young assassin to learn the origins of his younger sibling and their power, Nanika, potentially leading the pair to the Dark Continent.

Chain User Intent On Reclaiming His Brethren’s Scarlet Eyes
- Debut: Anime Episode 1/Manga Chapter 2

In the Yorknew City arc, Kurapika works as a mafia bodyguard when he faces the Phantom Troupe, the bandits who wiped out his clan.
Further into Hunter x Hunter, Kurapika grows into a dark and obsessed individual who leaves his friends behind to pursue his goal. A potential spinoff would continue from the succession war, with Kurapika continuing his solo mission to disrupt the mafia world by reclaiming all of his comrades’ eyes and restoring honor to himself and his clan. As he continues his fight, Kurapika can descend further down a path of destruction that tears his humanity away.

Such toying around occurred when Hisoka worked with Kurapika to set up a fight with Phantom Troupe leader Chrollo Lucilfer, despite acting as a member for a couple of years.

Chrollo Lucilfer
Leader Of The Phantom Troupe Who Is Eager To Spread Chaos
- Debut: Anime Episode 41/Manga Chapter 71
As the leader of the famed Phantom Troupe, Chrollo is one of the most notorious criminals in the world of Hunter x Hunter, with his group being feared among all sectors of society.

With Chrollo and the troupe’s challenging upbringing, Chrollo seeks to destroy anyone that gets in his way, with Kurapika and Hisoka even being a target of Chrollo and his group.
For a complex character such as Chrollo, much of his upbringing can be explored to fully understand how he and his friends survived the horrors of Meteor City and how it shaped him into the man he is in the present. Another aspect that could be examined in a spinoff is his journey east after Kurapika stripped him of his Nen. Much of his trek to regaining his powers could intrigue many who wish to understand Chrollo and his motives without the troupe being by his side.

Ging Freecss
Gon’s Father Who Seeks To Travel The World And Have Fun
- Debut: Anime Episode 37/Manga Chapter 66
In Hunter x Hunter, no character is more elusive than Ging Freecss, the father of the main protagonist, Gon. From the very start of the story, Gon’s goal is to find his Dad, who abandoned him to live his life as a hunter. Ging has left a significant impression on all he meets on his travels, with many telling Gon of his prowess as a hunter and a Nen user. Much of Hunter x Hunter depicts Gon in his search for his father, with the task proving difficult despite Ging’s leaving clues for Gon to ponder.
With Ging’s notoriety and legend, a spinoff could showcase his early life as a hunter, similar to how Hunter x Hunter follows Gon and his journey. Just as Ging passed the hunter exam at the same age as Gon, the themes would stay the same, with Ging’s friendships and motives being explained and explored extensively in any potential spinoff.
