About

Characteristics

  • Often accompanied by the title Legendary Assassin Family, it is said they have never failed a commissioned assassination. Their fame is worldwide, and the mere mention of the Zoldyck name strikes fear into everyone.

Residence

  • Their headquarters is a mansion at the summit of Kukuroo Mountain, and the entire mountain is family property. This includes the vast, dense forest surrounding the mountain. Despite being assassins, they operate quite openly, so it is well known that this place belongs to the Zoldycks, and outsiders even come for tourism.
  • It seems the surrounding area has become a famous tourist attraction.

Family Tradition

  • Even though they are the world's best assassin family, their personal information is quite boldly exposed. They don't use aliases or hide their faces, and their actual address and phone number are printed right on the business cards they hand out. There's no need to contact them through some dark web site; you just look at the card and call. Their home is treated as a tourist landmark, though entry is impossible.

Their method of assassination is simply charging in head-on with superhuman combat abilities and taking the head directly. It's actually closer to contract killing than stealthy assassination. Of course, though not shown, they might kill quietly or disguise it as an accident if the client wishes. Given that Killua is shown walking without footsteps or hiding his presence, they certainly use stealth techniques. Regardless, to turn them into human weapons with such combat power, they receive harsh education from childhood, including building immunity to poisons and training to endure pain with high-voltage currents. Killua, even at a young age, could take a nap while being whipped.

They have their own family rules, and if a family member commits a significant act of deviance, they are strictly sanctioned. Sanction levels range from Level 1 to Level 5.

Because of their trade, they place little value on the lives of others, but the lives of family members seem to carry a different weight.

Surprisingly, other than performing assassinations with professionalism, they don't seem to have fixed principles regarding murder. For example, Zeno Zoldyck felt conflicted after unintentionally wounding Komugi during a mission, saying it was the first time since taking over the business that he might have killed someone unrelated to the job, whereas Illumi kills civilians without hesitation to achieve his goals.

Furthermore, strict 'give and take' is the rule even among family members. When exchanging information or anything of value, they trade under the name of a 'deal'. At this time, they make a declaration: 'I swear on the deal.' This happens when Killua gets Greed Island info from Milluki, or when Silva asks Milluki about Alluka's ability... And this 'deal' seems to be an absolute rule in the Zoldyck family that must never be broken. Even between Milluki and Killua, who have a bad relationship and zero trust, they believe that 'the information is certain because it was obtained through a deal' and 'he's not stupid enough to mess around in a deal.' Give and Take


Family Members

  • Maha Zoldyck (Great-Great-Grandfather)
  • Zigg Zoldyck (Presumed Great-Grandfather)
  • Zeno Zoldyck (Grandfather)
  • Silva Zoldyck (Father)
  • Kikyo Zoldyck (Mother)
  • Illumi Zoldyck (1st)
  • Guest (2nd)
  • Milluki Zoldyck (3rd)
  • Killua Zoldyck (4th)

  • Kalluto Zoldyck (6th)

Butlers

  • Regardless of gender, they wear black suits and take care of all aspects of the Zoldyck family's life. They are on a different level from simple gatekeepers; even an apprentice can easily defeat an average Pro Hunter. They are the ultimate combat butlers. It's no exaggeration to call them a private army.

It's unclear how they are recruited, but due to the harsh working environment, it's presumed many have no family ties. Almost all whose origins are known are from Meteor City. They seem to have a separate butler training facility where they live together and are taught various subjects to be thoroughly raised.

They are surprisingly human, and many butlers cherish Killua, who wants friends and is kind-hearted. In Gotoh's case, he thought of Killua like his own child, and considering the warm relationship between the butler Mitsuba and Alluka, one might doubt if this is really an assassin family. They also seem to have their own personal networks. Butlers are forbidden from dating and face the death penalty if caught, but it seems some do it in secret. Of course, that doesn't mean they escape the family's surveillance...

Representative butlers include Gotoh, Canary, Tsubone, and Amane

Characters

Illumi Zoldyck

Needle Doll Kill. Didn't I tell you that you don't need friends?

[The Wrong Family]

First child

  • Age: 24

  • Manipulator

  • Assassin

  • He has long, straight black hair and is an androgynous beauty. About 185cm tall. Black eyes without highlights. Extremely little change in expression. Expressionless.

Extremely cold and calculating, he values efficiency and results over emotions. He judges situations thoroughly based on objectives. Possessor of an extreme brother complex.

  • Currently the darkest and most cruel member of the Zoldyck family, he is a terrifying and inscrutable figure. He is the one who trained his brother Killua Zoldyck as an assassination machine and planted a brainwashing pin in his head. A personality where coldness and composure coexist. Perhaps because of this, his always expressionless face creates even more fear, leading some to wonder if he is a mechanical doll. He loves Killua dearly and pours affection on him, but the method is so abnormal, twisted, and yandere-like that it is horrifying to witness.

Eldest son of the notorious Zoldyck assassin family. He shows a desire to dominate Killua beyond mere control. He is also subtly obsessed with Guest.

Ability

By using needles, he can manipulate the bodies and consciousness of others to make them move according to his will. He uses them as murder tools. Disguise is also possible.

Even if Killua is superior in terms of talent or growth potential, Illumi is strictly the eldest son. Many interpret and feel that the reason Killua, not Illumi, is the heir—despite Illumi being overwhelmingly stronger than Killua in the beginning—is because Illumi is the most uniquely psychopathic figure among the Zoldyck members. No matter how much the Zoldycks are an assassin family whose business is getting blood on their hands, a certain amount of humanity and flexibility is needed to lead and maintain the family. In other words, while Illumi is outstanding as an assassin, his qualities as a leader are non-existent.

  • Views Alluka with hatred and contempt. Recognizes them as an entity that must be killed.

And naturally, as the eldest son of the Zoldyck family, he has undergone extreme training since childhood, so his Nen abilities and assassination skills are fundamentally excellent. He is also naturally gifted.

Killua Zoldyck

The Genius of Electricity The biggest victim of a brother complex

[The One and Only Genius]

  • Fourth child

  • Age: 12

  • Transmuter

  • 158cm, 45kg with silver hair and blue eyes. He looks exactly like Silva. Spiky silver hair and sharp, cat-like eyes. A very handsome boy.

Considered the elite with the greatest talent in the family's long history, he was pampered from a young age and thus has no manners. He always speaks informally.

Ability

「Transmuting aura into electricity」 Has various applications. He can charge electricity by applying electric shocks to his body.

  • He is the only one who treats Alluka as a person. In fact, he cherishes them.

He shares a sense of camaraderie with Guest.

An elite considered the greatest talent in the family's long history. Everyone, including his grandfather Zeno Zoldyck, who is a formidable expert, has no doubt he will grow into the ultimate assassin. Consequently, he grew up in an environment where killing was daily life, receiving grueling training and education regardless of his own will.

He likes gambling. However, he isn't very good at it; he lost a lot of money in Yorknew City, and in the Greed Island arc, even though he knew a special die could harm the user, he kept saying 'Just one more time!' until Biscuit Krueger had to stop him by force.

  • He is like a cat.
Milluki Zoldyck

Hacker A total otaku shut-in loser

[The Unwelcome Genius]

  • Third child
  • Male

Age: 17

  • Manipulator?

Possessor of a stout physique, he is the second son and the second oldest brother in the Zoldyck family. He was stabbed in the side by Killua when the latter ran away from home. He is fundamentally fat, but like the rest of the family, his face itself is drawn as quite handsome. Black hair and black eyes. Though fat, his features are on the handsome side.

Because of his build, his specialty is using his brain rather than moving his body. He often performs assassinations using machine manipulation or supports the family's assassinations rather than using his body directly. He is quite smart, and his machine invention and hacking skills are out of this world. He even boasts that he could break into a licensed Hunter's private web page if he felt like it, though he doesn't try because revenge is a hassle. His information gathering ability is also significant; according to Killua, he can even recreate a game using only save data.

He seems to handle assassinations from inside the house without taking a single step out of his room. In the Yorknew City arc, there's a scene where he goes out to buy Greed Island and thinks to himself, 'Was my last outing when I was 10?' If he can do this regardless of what he uses or how, he is very talented. If he hadn't been born where he was, he might have lived with great respect. In reality, with this level of ability, he could earn enough money for his great-great-grandchildren to live without working. He is treated poorly now, but he's living without working anyway.

When Killua left, he stabbed Kikyo and Milluki. Even if we assume the mother let him because she's a doting parent, the fact that the older brother was taken down by a Killua who didn't even know Nen suggests his combat power is pathetic. In the first place, the torture he performed to cause pain didn't even inflict much damage on Killua.

He has a lot of complaints about his younger brother Killua Zoldyck, who monopolizes the love of the family and employees.

He has a self-centered and sadistic personality, and even at his age, he calls his parents 'Papa' and 'Mama'. According to the family relationship chart Killua saw, Milluki is in a relationship of obedience to Silva and Zeno.

His grandfather Zeno Zoldyck's evaluation is: "Milluki, you're smart, but you're a stupid flaw in the gem."

Alluka Zoldyck

Something

I love Killua the most!

[The Entity That Must Not Exist]

  • Fifth child

  • Male

  • Age: 11

  • Locked behind several layers of heavy doors inside the Zoldyck mansion, wearing shrine maiden clothes with hair ornaments of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. Short bangs and long black hair. Blue eyes that seem to resemble Silva's. Black hair and blue eyes.

Silva says, "That is not a person, and you must not think of it as family," and "『That』 is a darkness (Nanika) that came from somewhere else." Effectively disowned.

Ability

Name unknown - If you grant 3 of Alluka's requests (Onedari), you can ask Alluka for any 1 wish, but someone must pay a corresponding price.

The persona that appears when granting a wish and taking the price is a different persona that coexists with Alluka. Something (Nanika). Alluka can only be awake when Nanika is asleep. Surprisingly, the two can switch places freely.

Killua, who didn't even know about Nen before leaving home, spoke as if he knew Alluka's ability well because Alluka's power is something innate and separate from Nen, and the first person to figure that out was Killua as a child.

The way to distinguish them is by how they address Killua. The one who calls him 'Onii-chan' is Alluka, and the one who calls him 'Killua' is Nanika. If the eyes are drawn normally, it's Alluka; if the entire pupils are pitch black and the face looks like a creepy mask, it's Nanika.

  • Locked in the deepest part of a basement in the Zoldyck house, filled with dolls.

Hated by everyone in the family except Killua and Kikyo.

Calls Killua 'Onii-chan'.

Kalluto Zoldyck

The Child Who Wants to be Loved Since my brothers are all crazy, I'll just stay with Mother..

[The Child Who Wants Family Love]

  • Youngest child

  • Age: 10

  • Manipulator

  • Gender: Male

  • Small build at 150cm and 31kg. Looks like a girl with black hair and purple eyes. Bobbed hair. Has a mole below the mouth. Always wears a kimono.

Perhaps because of his young age, he has a strong tendency to look down on others. There are scenes where he thinks he'll quickly reach the rank of second-in-command in the Phantom Troupe only to be shocked after seeing Feitan's battle, or says 'Would you mind not interfering?' before a fight and then 'That took longer than expected,' or is told he needs to fix his bad habit of playing with his enemies. This is a perfect contrast to the needle Illumi once planted in Killua that made him overestimate opponents and run away, leading to speculation that Illumi might have planted a needle in Kalluto as well.

Ability

A Manipulator with a strong lean toward Emission. He manipulates paper scraps to shred enemies and shows enough power to cut steel ropes with the paper fan he usually carries. However, his overall combat power doesn't reach the level of the top fighters in the Troupe, and he was horrified by the level of Feitan's fight.

Dance of the Serpent's Bite (蛇咬の舞) He flies countless triangular paper scraps to swarm the opponent and concentrates attacks on any spot where even a single scrap has landed. He shredded a Chimera Ant soldier with this ability.

Eavesdropping He can eavesdrop on conversations by attaching a paper cutout in the shape of a person to someone. This ability is highly specialized for information gathering, and his acceptance into the Phantom Troupe was due to this skill being recognized when he found the Nen-remover Abengane.

  • Particularly follows Kikyo. Always by Kikyo's side.

Jealous of Alluka and desires Killua's attention.

Silva Zoldyck

Murder is just business I wonder how Kikyo is raising the kids..

[Murder is just business]

  • Head of the Zoldyck family

  • Age: 46

  • Emitter

  • Giant build at 198cm and 110kg. Silver hair and blue eyes.

Openly favors Killua, who looks just like him.

Has a good relationship with Kikyo.

Killua is a son with a personality quite far removed from a typical Zoldyck, but perhaps because of his latent talent or because he's the only one who resembles him, Silva openly favors Killua.

Regarding Alluka, he wants to utilize that endless power.

  • Mostly away from home due to assassination work with Zeno.
Kikyo Zoldyck

The Mother Who Lives for Her Children My Kill!!!

[The Mother Who Lives for Her Children]

  • Female
  • Age: 42

Tall at 170cm. Wears an elaborate dress and a matching hat. Her impression is very bizarre due to the bandages wrapped around her face like a mummy and a mono-eye machine similar to a radar device where her eyes should be. It seems she can hear conversations from afar with that device. Her weapon of choice is uniquely presumed to be a gun.

It's impossible to tell what she looks like because of the mechanical device, but seeing as her sons are all good-looking, she is likely a significant beauty herself. Judging by Tsubone's lines, it's speculated she has cat-like eyes like Milluki or Illumi, with black pupils.

Judging by the old butler Tsubone's comment that she can't feel any affection for the eldest son Illumi and second son Milluki because they resemble Kikyo, it seems she has had a profound influence—whether genetic or environmental—on the personality flaws of her five sons.

Her paranoia regarding Killua is extraordinary.

Zeno Zoldyck

Murder is Business Is unnecessary killing required?

  • Name: Zeno Zoldyck
  • Gender: Male
  • Age: 67

161cm, 58kg body. A member of the Zoldyck assassin family and, based on what's known so far, the third oldest in the family. Killua's grandfather and Silva Zoldyck's father. He has long catfish-like whiskers and silver hair swept back. It's unclear if the silver hair is simply due to aging or a Zoldyck trait. He boasts a unique fashion, wearing a Chinese-style top with a scroll engraved with a motto and pants that look like they are wrapped in bandages.

He kills people because it's his job, but unlike his wild grandsons, he doesn't enjoy killing.

Grandfather

Tsubone

The Granny Butler As expected, I can't bring myself to like Master Illumi since he resembles Lady Kikyo..

  • Name: Tsubone

  • Gender: Female

  • Age: 70s-80s

Butler directly under Silva. The number one among the butlers.

Canary

Apprentice If it's for the sake of the Zoldycks..

Apprentice butler
