Primary
Hunter x Hunter explores universal themes of personal growth, friendship, and the complexities of morality and power through individual journeys and ethical dilemmas, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change.
Hunter x Hunter, originating from Japan, features a diverse cast within its fantastical world without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on adventure and character development, not explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
Hunter x Hunter features a significant positive portrayal through Alluka Zoldyck, a transgender character whose gender identity is consistently affirmed by her brother, Killua. The narrative frames Killua's acceptance as empathetic and correct, highlighting a respectful stance towards queer identity.
