Although 2025 passed quietly, all signs point to Yoshihiro Togashi releasing 10 new chapters in 2026. Before the intense events unfold on the Black Whale ship, let’s take a look at the 10 most powerful figures currently dominating the world of Hunter x Hunter.
10. Biscuit Krueger
Don’t be fooled by her childlike appearance. Bisky is actually a 57-year-old powerhouse with incredible muscle and mastery of Nen. As the mentor to both Gon and Killua, she is skilled in all Nen categories and the Tsuin Genryu martial art. Her physical strength alone is enough to crush opponents without even using Hatsu.
9. Silva & Zeno Zoldyck
The two leading generations of the Zoldyck family embody raw deadly power. Zeno’s dragon techniques like Dragon Head and Dragon Dive cause massive destruction, while Silva wields explosive energy spheres. Their teamwork once forced Chrollo to use all his strength to counter them.
8. Chrollo Lucilfer
Chrollo is a tactical genius with incredible versatility. His ability to steal Hatsu powers gives him an unlimited arsenal. He is the only person to have defeated Hisoka, albeit with careful preparation, proving that intelligence is a supreme form of power in the world of Nen.
7. The Zodiacs
Except for newcomers like Kurapika and Leorio, the Zodiacs are some of the world’s most elite Hunters. Notably, Botobai (Dragon) is said to be physically closest to Netero’s strength, while Cheadle (Dog) boasts three-star Nen mastery and sharp intellect.
6. Hisoka Morow
After barely surviving an encounter with Chrollo, Hisoka has become stronger and more ruthless thanks to Nen after death. His seemingly simple Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise have turned into deadly traps. He is currently a terrifying presence aboard the ship heading to the Dark Continent.
5. Prince Tserriednich
The fourth prince of Kakin is a true monster. He mastered Nen in just days and gained the “Parallel Future” ability, allowing him to see 10 seconds ahead and alter reality. Tserriednich is predicted to become an even greater threat than Meruem if he continues to develop at this pace.
4. Morena Prudo
The leader of the Heil-Ly group wields a terrifying “Contagion” ability. She can create an army of Nen users by leveling up members through killing. Once a member reaches level 100, they can spread this power further, making Morena a potential catalyst for societal destruction.
3. Ging Freecss & Pariston Hill
Ging is recognized as one of the top five Nen users worldwide, with the ability to copy innate techniques. His counterpart, Pariston, is an unpredictable madman. Although neither has fully revealed their Hatsu, their positions atop the Hunter Association and mutual caution speak volumes.
2. Beyond Netero
Isaac Netero’s son carries ambitions to conquer the Dark Continent far beyond his father’s. Beyond is supremely confident in his power and ready to face the entire Zodiac. He is also behind the most devastating Nen curse ever recorded in the series.
1. Alluka Zoldyck (Nanika)
Physically, Alluka is a fragile girl, but the entity Nanika within her holds unlimited “wish-granting” power. As one of the Five Great Calamities, Nanika can erase anyone or heal any wound. Nanika’s power defies all Nen system rules, making Alluka the most powerful character in the series to date.
