In Hunter x Hunter, Hisoka’s scale isn’t just about the amount of Nen an opponent has but also how much excitement they bring to the fight. Based on the story’s progression, here are 10 characters who would definitely score a perfect 100 (or even beyond) if they caught Hisoka’s attention.
1. Ging Freecss
Hisoka was eager to meet Ging when the legendary hunter appeared at the Hunter Association, but never got the chance. Just look at how obsessed and drawn he is to Gon, a “green fruit” full of potential.
Ging is basically a mature, perfected, and far more eccentric version of Gon. As a genius ranked among the top five Nen users worldwide, he definitely deserves a perfect 100 from Hisoka.
2. Chrollo Lucilfer
Without a doubt, Chrollo is Hisoka’s most coveted prey. Hisoka was so passionate he even helped the Phantom Troupe leader remove Kurapika’s Nen just to secure a one-on-one deathmatch.
Although the outcome in the Heavens Arena didn’t prove Chrollo outclassed Hisoka or defeated him by turning the entire arena into a weapon, it only confirmed Chrollo’s absolute 100-point status in Hisoka’s eyes.
3. Gon Freecss (Adult Form)
This is the “ripe fruit” Hisoka has always dreamed of tasting. Hisoka rated Gon’s potential highly, but in his adult form, when he massacred Neferpitou, Gon’s power broke all limits. If Hisoka were unlucky enough to face Gon then, he’d be crushed instantly without a chance to react.
4. Isaac Netero
During the Hunter Exam interview, Hisoka couldn’t hide his deadly intent and hunger to fight former Chairman Netero. Netero’s peak strength definitely earns a perfect 100 from Hisoka.
Luckily, Hisoka never foolishly turned words into action, as all his tricks and Bungee Gum would be useless against Netero’s speed that surpasses light.
5. Silva Zoldyck
If Illumi, the eldest son of the assassin family, scores 95 points from Hisoka, then Silva Zoldyck, the family head, surely deserves 100. Silva has monstrous physical strength and has survived deadly encounters with Chrollo. His overwhelming power and battle experience can easily counter Hisoka’s tricks.
6. Zeno Zoldyck
Despite his age, Killua’s grandfather Zeno Zoldyck remains a hidden monster. This veteran assassin wields deadly burst Nen techniques. With sharp observation and top-tier combat intellect, Zeno can easily see through Hisoka’s disguises and deliver a fiery battle.
7. Meruem (The Chimera Ant King)
If Hisoka ever met Meruem, his 100-point scale would probably explode. He might even rate this being… 1000 points. As the strongest entity before his death, Meruem stands on a completely different level. Even Netero was powerless and had to use a poison bomb to take him down. If Hisoka faced Meruem, he’d be knocked out in an instant.
8. Neferpitou
Royal Guard Pitou’s terrifying aura can drive even veteran Hunters insane. Her terrifying speed that allowed her to kill Kite in an instant shows she’s way out of Hisoka’s league. Such a challenging and wild fight would definitely earn a perfect score from Hisoka.
9. Shaiapouf
Though Pouf leans more on strategy, psychological manipulation, and rarely shows raw muscle power like Youpi, don’t forget he carries Royal Guard blood. Pouf’s protective aura is enough to terrify anyone who enters its range, fully worthy of sparking Hisoka’s hunting instincts.
10. Menthuthuyoupi
Youpi is an impenetrable fortress that even the combined efforts and perfect strategies of Hunters like Morel, Killua, and Knuckle couldn’t break. His biological evolution, shape-shifting, and rage buildup make him an unbeatable war machine. Facing such an indestructible and highly adaptable “beast,” Hisoka would have no hesitation giving him a full 100 points out of admiration.
