Primary
Hunter x Hunter explores universal themes of power, morality, and human nature through individual character arcs and ethical dilemmas, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or offering a partisan solution to societal problems, leading to a neutral rating.
Hunter x Hunter, as an original Japanese anime, features a diverse cast of characters inherent to its world-building rather than through explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on adventure and character development, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on Western-style DEI themes.
Secondary
Hunter x Hunter features Alluka Zoldyck, a character strongly implied to be a trans girl, whose gender identity is consistently affirmed and protected by her brother Killua. The narrative frames Killua's acceptance as a positive and empathetic act, despite other family members' misgendering, contributing to a net positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes through familial support and respect.
The anime features Alluka Zoldyck, a character whose gender identity is affirmed by her brother Killua, who consistently refers to her as his sister. While other family members misgender her and view her as a dangerous entity, the narrative champions Killua's unconditional love and acceptance, portraying these as positive virtues against external prejudice and fear.
The show features Bisky Krueger, a powerful martial artist, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against male opponents, demonstrating superior skill and strength. Her victories are achieved through direct physical combat.
The 2011 anime adaptation of Hunter x Hunter faithfully maintains the canonical genders of all established characters from the original manga. No significant character's gender was altered for the on-screen portrayal.
The 2011–2014 anime adaptation of "Hunter x Hunter" faithfully portrays characters as they were established in the original Japanese manga. There are no instances where a character canonically or visually established as one race in the source material is depicted as a different race in this adaptation.
