1. Background
Killua Zoldyck (キルア=ゾルディック, Kirua Zorudikku) is one of the four main characters from the series HunterxHunter.
He was born as the middle child to a family of known assassins, the
Zoldyck family. Showing great promise from birth, Killua has already
mastered many killing techniques at a tender age, and is set to be one
of the best assassins the family has ever produced. Bored and tired of
killing, Killua unexpectedly rebelled against his family, injuring both
his mother and brother, and ran away to join the Hunter exam just for
fun. He met Gon during the first portion of the Hunter Exam and became great friends. He thinks being with Gon is exciting and adventurous.
Killua
divulges that ever since his birth, he has been in constant training
for the occupation of a professional assassin. Killua had spent years
trying to perfect unique skills that assassins portray and possess. He
is forced to battle in the Heavens Arena fighting tournament at the age
of 6, which he took two years to get to the 190th floor.
2. Personality
From
the outside, Killua seems just to be the rich boy; cheeky, cheerful and
full of mischievous ideas. He is also one of the most quick-thinking
characters in the series.

However,
until recently, his greatest flaw was to fear those who are more
powerful than him, one of whom is his elder brother, Illumi. Killua had
been trained as an assassin by his brother to be extremely cautious that
he only engages in combat provided that victory is absolutely certain.
This impeded him as a Hunter, as Biscuit stated
more than once that victory is never certain, and that depending on the
circumstances, a person has the potential to defeat a stronger
opponent.
Killua
struggled with these conflicting ideas during the latter half of the
series, as he started to encounter stronger opponents. However, his
brother's teachings remained firmly entrenched in his mind, to the point
that Biscuit prophesied that he would one day abandon Gon because
of this. Biscuit gave Killua an ultimatum: Defeat Shoot to claim the
right to go with Gon and fight the Chimera Ants. Killua lost, and
resolved to leave after Gon had recovered from his fight, protecting him
in the meantime.
Finally
he had to face Biscuit's prophecy when he encountered a Chimera ant
while Gon (who couldn't use nen at the time) wasn't far off and had no
way to defend himself. Killua made an attempt to save Gon. While
fighting with the Chimera Ant, Killua is also battling his inner-self.
Preoccupied, Killua is losing to the chimera ant. At the last moment,
Killua realized that Illumi had implanted a needle in his brain way back
in the first Hunter Exam. This needle was responsible for forcing
Killua to retreat and jailed himself on his comfort zone whenever any
situation would potentially endanger his life. Upon extracting the
needle, Killua was freed from this restraint and gained full control of
his subconscious to make his own decision whether or not to flee
whenever there is a need to fight stronger opponents.
3. Combat
1) Weapons and Assassination Arts:
In
the first part of the series, Killua does not employ or use any weapons
in combat (but he has a skate as a means of transportation, though).
Instead, he relies on several assassination arts passed down to him
through his family. These include adjusting his fingernails into claws
and the Echo--a motion that creates an afterimage of the body through a
varying cadence of steps. His eyes also change into a more sinister
look.
2) The Technique of the Rotating Bodies:
It
is a deadly technique used in critical situations to create a
succession of images on the retina, creating an illusion. It is a high
level attack also called "Technique of the Dark Step" because of the
total absence of noise during the movement.
During
the Greed Island story arc, Killua begins using yo-yos made of a
special metal alloy in combat. The yo-yos are extremely durable and
heavy, weighing 50 kilograms each. They can be used in conjunction with
Killua's Hatsu as well. Killua is reluctant to use the yo-yos in combat
thus using only his raw physical abilities in order for his opponent to
know as little about his combat abilities as possible.
4. Nen Abilities
As
a Transmuter, Killua's most efficient in changing the form of his nen.
As such, Killua developed several electricity based nen techniques. This
feat was both inspired and made possible by the years of electric
shocks he received as a child, both as training against torture and as
punishment from his older brother Milluki.
1) Izutsushi (雷掌 Lightning Palm): The
first and most basic ability Killua developed. As the name suggests,
Killua is able to shock an opponent by touching them.[ he was
electricuited since he was born so it isn't paining to him.]

2) Narukami (落雷 Thunderbolt):
A natural evolution of his Lightning Palm ability, Killua is also able
to project a large bolt of lightning from his hands, striking an
opponent with electricity from a distance. The name of the ability,
Narukami, comes from the famous Kabuki play, Narukami Fudô Kitayama
Zakura, in which the character Narukami transforms into a thunder god at
the end of the fourth act.

5. Trivia
- Killua is the 3rd Transmuter in the Zoldyck family, after Zeno and Silva. Coincidentally, all three have white or silver hair.
- Killua's name in Japanese is written as "Kirua" in katakana. It combines the Japanese transliterations of the English words "kill" (kiru) and "killer" (kira).
- Killua's eye color shifted: from dark blue it became green in the OVA series.
- He once stated that he doesn't know how to write letters, but he had written a "death notice, Zaoldyeck style" before. Another kind of letter is used for blackmailing people.
- He hates red peppers. He was invited to Gon's house and Mito [gon's aunt] forced him to eat the red pepper but he spit it out.
- Favourite Food: Kokorobokun.
- Killua occasionally is drawn with catlike features (paws, ears, mouth) in humorous situations, much like Botan of Yu Yu Hakusho (a previous work by the same manga-ka) did.
