118 free Hunter X Hunter trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
61 free Hunter x Hunter trivia questions with answers. Hunter x Hunter rewards the kind of fan who remembers which finger Kurapika's Judgment Chain is on and how many times Tonpa has failed the exam. This quiz covers the manga and both anime series: the Hunter Exam, Zoldyck family, Heavens Arena, Yorknew City, Greed Island, the Chimera Ant arc, the chairman election and the Dark Continent, plus Nen theory, the Phantom Troupe's numbers and abilities, Togashi's hiatuses and the two films. The questions start easy (who draws the series, where Gon grew up, Killua's Nen type) and climb to genuinely hard ones about Kastro's Nen mismatch, Biscuit's gem, Palm's crystal ball and the 1998 Jump Super Anime Tour short. Every answer was checked against a documented source and the citation is shown under each explanation, so a Discord argument about who won the popularity polls can be settled on the spot. Play it solo, or use it as a Hunter x Hunter round for an anime club or a night with friends who have all seen the 2011 series twice.
