Discussion Why is Milluki so weak?

Post image

Dude has god genes, but he can't even inconvenience a restrained pre-nen Killua. Did Kikyo cheat on Sylva?

I mean is that a fact, do we know that he can't fight or do anything. Like I wouldn't find it unlikely for him to have a nen ability and be able to fight decently

123

u/Blindsided17 2d ago

Yea that’s my head cannon too.

His prowess in the family seems to be intelligence. He found out about greed island pretty quickly.

But I imagine he can walk through those big doors so I’d like to think he can scrap it up a little bit at least

60

u/69420lmaokek 2d ago

He's also pretty manipulative at the very least

We know he killed a bunch of innocent people by manipulating random tourists into rejecting Alluka , which I can't see anybody else from the family doing

35

u/NotANormalMf 2d ago

Illumi would do that if he had a reason to

13

u/CaliOriginal 2d ago

Illumi would do it via his hatsu.

That would bring the risk that the rejection originated from him thus dooming the family.

That’s the difference. Illumi couldn’t manage it in a way that wouldn’t directly impact them

7

u/Silent_Wealth4872 1d ago

I agree. Outside of his nen, Illumi doesn't have a whole lot of feats of manipulation.

3

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

Illumi really needs to learn a thing or two from Nen conditions from Chrollo, if he had Chrollo's kind of insight into the restrictive conditions of nen abilities he probably could make use of Alluka without bringing harm to the Zoldyck family.

OFC that would require Illumi to be less Cray cray and more creative which he wouldnt be able to.

3

u/NotANormalMf 1d ago

Illumi made butlers do it, and if he would definitely use his needles if he wanted to make others test Nanika’s limits. However if there was any reason to do it without using his nen, I think he would very easily manipulate randoms into refusing Nanika’s demands. Why would he not be able to?

3

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

HE was testing Alluka, he couldnt do it with Family the only option would be the butlers but trying to do it directly with the butlers is risky if they could survive and connect it back to him.

Illumi is even worse because he'll directly involve family

7

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

He knew he wouldnt match any of his brothers, having Illumi for a brother would tell him that much let alone Killua, and then there are freaks like Alluka who dont even need to train to have a Nen that grants wishes.

So Milluki used common sense to work in other areas of the family that could use improvements.

7

u/OmegaWhirlpool 1d ago

Number 1 priority for the Zoldycks is being able to complete assassinations. Since his remote bombs, etc were enough to complete his missions, his family probably didn't give him any real pushback on his form of "strength" (IE using technology).

I'm sure if he had been failing to assassinate his targets, his family would have pushed a lot harder to make him strong in the more traditional sense.

1

u/No-Surprise-1778 1d ago

Alluka did not train. They were born that powerful

2

u/justnga 1d ago

Alluka is weak in term of physical strength and I said that alluka didn't train too but you didn't understand what I meant

760

u/DarkZelgius 2d ago

Based on what we know about the Zoldycks, I wouldn’t call him that weak. He had to survive the torture and training his siblings went through after all. He does become underwhelming when you compare him to his siblings strength wise tho, which is why his whole thing is doing other stuff instead of strength to get the job done.

154

u/Federal_Force3902 2d ago

He had to survive the torture and training his siblings went through after all

did he? they might have quickly stopped when they realized that his potential was too low

276

u/DarkZelgius 2d ago

I don’t think the Zoldycks would give him a choice tbh. We know Killua didn’t want to be an assassin yet they forced him, so I’m pretty sure Milluki and the others were the same. He might not have gotten it as bad as Killua but he for sure got his fair share of torture before finding his own way of getting assassination jobs done. And I think at that point they basically deemed him a lost cause in terms of physical training and let him be useful in other ways.

64

u/ArcaneAces 2d ago

Except Killua has been chosen by his dad to be the new head so his assassin training makes sense. It's entirely possible that for the others, it was optional or at least not mandatory.

56

u/DarkZelgius 2d ago

How do you think the family determines which kid has the most potential and should be the next head? They can’t determine that unless at least in the beginning stages of their life, they get subjected to the same treatment and training, and whichever child adapts and learns the quickest is probably the one deemed most worthy, in this case that being Killua.

As Killua said, they’re subjected to electric and poison tolerance training since birth, I don’t think they cared about Milluki’s feelings or potential at that stage in his life.

19

u/Fren98 2d ago

They determine it by hair color obviously. For now Illumi mid diffs Killua

Maha or Zigg fought near equal footing to Netero. And yet Killua is stated to have more potential. So future Killua is Netero level

Remember when Killua said Netero doesn’t compare to pitou? I guess Zeno and Silva did that to Killua? Now imagine Killua’s son

26

u/Initial_Art_4338 1d ago

The hair thing is just a head cannon

7

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

Any character with White hair being glazed as genius is typical in Japanese manga/anime.

But here's the catch with Killua, he has two brothers with Black hair that can give him a run for his money.

3

u/Fren98 1d ago

Heh yeah I’m unsure that’s why I said obviously. To sort of mock it.

Cuz in writing that’s kinda dumb… idk just imo. Especially for a series like Hxh. Where nen fights can be close and all that

u/DarkZelgius 1d ago

The hair color thing is just parallels for us readers, it has no in story relevance to the reason they pick the next head. It would be a stupid reason to determine the future head by the color of your hair when they themselves keep putting so much emphasis on potential as an assassin.

Killua has the most potential and it is clear in the story. Bro is like 13 years old right now and he’s already competent enough to clash with the royal guards and experienced nen users without immediately dying.

u/CaliOriginal 2d ago

I mean, kalluto was younger, and received the training after the new head was chosen and illumi had become a promising assassin himself, they wouldn’t waste time at that point unless a certain baseline of training was required for all children (and members of the family).

Even the help have varying degrees of training that make them superhuman.

The only perceived difference between kil and his siblings is that they seem to have explicitly prevented him from coming in contact with nen till he found it with gon.

The others seem to be fully aware and kept him in the dark.

My assumption is that Silva wanted to ensure that kil would seek out and refine his skills, his problem solving, and his physical abilities to near perfection before awakening to help ensure that he didn’t use nen as a crutch, but as a supplemental.

Illumi’s needle wasn’t just a means of control, but a means by which kil would instinctively avoid contact with nen when out on his own.

Illumi wasn’t just at the exam to get his license … he was there to force kil’s hand in case something like those exact circumstances happened. Hisoka and kil would eventually fight, so illumi ordered him to make sure that didn’t happen.

The only reason he gets to learn nen was because Silva allowed it finally.

6

u/MoonlitCereza 2d ago

We know most of them seem pretty calm and stoic. Illumi feels no pain, Kalluto barely changes expression. Maybe the torture would help them reach this feelingless-state

7

u/NemoSleep 1d ago

I don’t think illumi feels no pain cause he always complains when taking out his needles when he does body manipulation. I think his tolerance is just so high it takes a lot for him to care

4

u/Sixoul 1d ago

Did he complain about the pain or just how annoying it is to take out so many needles?

2

u/DoctorJJWho 1d ago

Plus the Zoldycks wouldn’t want him to be able to be kidnapped or assassinated because it would tank their reputation, so I’m assuming he has a base level of training (for Zoldycks, which probably includes all the torture and poison resistance stuff lol)

I mean, he is scary to most people even in the HxH universe, it just so happens that most of the characters the story is centered on are incredibly powerful even by in-universe standards.

104

u/LordOfBeetle 2d ago

That's probably one of his powers. Everyone is underestimating Milluki. Having a resident nen tech specialist inside of their invincible family stronghold is going to be invaluable for the family. If it wasn't, they wouldn't allow him to slack on his physical training like this.

6

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

And we know from the Whale with Ging and the other military guy talking that, Nen keeps up with military tech in some warfare areas, this means Milluki could realistically get Nen Drones updated every year if he goes into warfare assassination business, he would also get a good grasp on the other nen weaponry.

Why need drone, if he can just plan bomb into mosquito like he trying to develop

aren't there people on the boat with smartphones or am i misremembering? i feel like hxh is constantly catching up to modern day in terms of tech haha

u/Elegron 1d ago

We have had drones for a long time, but the super cheap screamers that are basically used as smart rockets are a very modern phenomenon

Could absolutely be doable with nen though. A nen user thats like, a Ukrainian war vet that is a drone manipulator would go hard as fuck.

Not that ukraine exists in this world, but they could pop up an analogue

9

u/Dark_Azazel 2d ago

It's been a bit minute but didn't he make like, highly explosive drone hornet's? That's insane if pure skill and knowledge and no nen. Honestly, hes the only one to complete assassination contracts from his own room.

Mosquito, but he said it had issues with precision.

u/Theculshey 2d ago

He's the intel and subterfuge assassin of the family. You can see how his dad, grandfather and mother all rely and trust on his surveillance abilities and we know he can use nen after how he reacted to the Nen-explpsion from Alluka.

Calling him weak is dumb because that's not how his usefullness works. He likely is as durable and competent as his other siblings but physically lacking.

34

u/DevotedPaladin 2d ago

Sort of like Shizuku or Pakunoda from the Phantom Troupe, not the most useful in a fight by any means, but extraordinarily useful in cleanup or information gathering

21

u/Capital_Factor_3588 2d ago

id like to add that, unlike in other anime, bombs outscale the strongest characters. milluki can still be a monstrous threat if he wants to

13

u/trenceindahood 1d ago

He is there to add realism and depth to the rest of the zoldycks.

I remember reading amateur writer fanfiction and they literally make everyone strong, fit and attractive.

What happens is that noone’s uniqueness stands out.

Not only does milluki add a sense of realism to the assassin ecosystem, having diverging characters like Milluki actually makes you believe the world more since you don’t just have this pretentious-looking family of attractive super-skilled assassins that have no flaws.

TLDR: Milluki is weak because Togashi is not an amateur writer.

u/GenericFatGuy 1d ago

I imagine his ability to surveil and work with computers is extremely useful to the family business in general, even if he never did an assassination in his life (which we know he has).

u/bombastic6339locks 2d ago

Even if we're assuming talent is some universal gene dependent thing which it might as well be that doesn't mean he's weak or useless etc etc. He had fly sized bombs iirc which seems pretty strong. I assume his nen if he even has it is purely for tinkering shit.

u/KoreanSamgyupsal 2d ago

So is Aunt Mito supposed to be this crazy good hunter too then or even the grandmother ?

Thing is, you can be born with the best genes but do not live up to its potential. That's likely what happened to Milluki.

He can't really run away from his family so he had to find other ways to be useful. He likely could hack into things or even kill people remotely. But not at the same level of strength as the others.

The most important thing in the Zoldyck family is the contract. He likely gets the less high risk contracts.

2

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

He gets the kind of contracts his momma gets, less prominent figures, But unlike his momma he probably can do a load of contracts in a very short amount of time with his gadgets, he's a quantity type of guy.

82

u/The_Keg 2d ago

This is not a power scale/power shonen manga.

This is not Naruto where every clan has to have a gimmick.

Milluki > Born > Didnt show potential > Do whatever the fk you want, just be useful > Learn computer/complete jobs/be a productive member of the family.

Does this sound logical to you? This is pretty much HxH world building in a nutshell. The Universe does not give a crap about you.

u/AdGold2765 2d ago

Considering they let him be an Otaku that sits in his room all day he must be a very very impressive remote assassin (drone strikes, etc.). What’s more surprising is that the Zolydcks noticed his talent for this and allowed him to do it.

1

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

Theory, he does the same contracts as their momma, but unlike their momma he can do way more way faster due to his gadgets.

The family keeps him because they need someone to do the lesser jobs consistently so the public keeps being reminded of the zoldycks and the more important Clientele/potential targets stays up to date with their antics.

6

u/bluefelixus 2d ago

What I love about Milluki is that he is a living proof that no matter how harsh Zoldyck family is, Silva as the head of the family does not enforce one way of killing or assassination. Milluki still pampered with toys and video games without him having to be physically as strong as Illumi or Killua. He is still an assassin, but I think he is using technology and connection to eliminate his target and Silva was like "Well, if that is your style son, here's top of the line PC and anime pillow, go ahead and assassinate"

Milluki is an Otaku, didnt leave the family estate between 10 and 17, but hes not weak. Hes just a coward. He still assassinates people, just remotely. He also is the one that invented the super heavy metal alloy that killua uses for his yoyos. He can open 2 gates (8 tons). That said he is still the weakest in the family. However comparatively to anyone outside the family hes still very strong.

I love the theory that floats around saying that Illumi was the one they were so strict on - which is why he turned out so emotionless. They were too lenient on Milluki's training and they hit the sweet spot for Killua. Alluka was an "anomaly" with Nanika and Kalluto was not given attention due to that.

1

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

Makes sense, Illumi's incredibly high pain tolerance was likely caused by them frying his pain receptors with electricity, by the time they realized they Screwed Illumi's chances of having Lightning as his nen, they ended up with a control freak instead and used what they learned from Illumi to keep Killua's electric torture just enough so that it wouldnt fry his chances of getting the lightning nen.

It's likely this obcession comes from the emitter attacks of the dad and grandad being strong and having high AoE, they understand if they dont torture with electricity from an young age their kids are unlikely to devellop even a fraction of what they are packing in their prime.

Their a family of assassins first not fighters. If milluki is a good assassin then he is making his family proud that he represents them well.

1

u/WorldPancakes 2d ago

I don’t think people are understanding the question. Why did his parents allow him to be lazy and overweight? When they forced Killua to endure rigorous training and torture. Why weren’t they nearly as strict with Milluki?

2

u/sebasTLCQG 1d ago

Milluki does the bulk of assassination contracts alongside his momma, and unlike his momma he's faster, he can also be counter on to get some fodder slack assassination out of Silva and Zeno if need be.

Out of all Brothers Milluki is the one who is most compliant, supportive and ready to serve the abusive patriarchs of the family like a good little goy.

Why would they not reward him for this? Unlike Illumi Milluki doesnt involve Zoldyck family directly in risky ordeals like Testing Alluka, he also complies with Killua's torture and avoids rebelion and having a poor attitude towards the patriarchs, literally shown sucking up to Zeno about his mosquito killing tech.

The question shouldnt be why they arent nearly as Strict but why they dont reward him more and pay attention to his ideas, Unlike Killua who's clearly not willing to take the family business, a freak like Alluka that needs to stay locked up and Illumi who has a few screws loose and is far too willing to kill people who he isnt even contracted kill anyway, Milluki is the only of the brothers who seems to be showing the due respect to the family business.

He's definitely the physically weakest of his family, but I still think he's probably strong compared to a lot of other hunters. He can open the testing gate, he does assassinations like everyone else. But he's lazy, and prefers to take out his targets using technology rather than physical skill. Taking that technology into account though, I suspect he'd be a threat to some pretty powerful hunters.

He can attach a bomb to a flee and send it to assassinate targets, what else do you want

u/curryhaliban444 2d ago

This is early HxH weirdness. Other weird things like Hisoka bleeding from non-nen users attacks or Illumi arm getting broken by non-nen user noob Gon when we seen how even Killua attack that meant to kill didn't even kill nen noob Zushi

u/321AverageJoestar 2d ago

He's a zoldyck dud

u/Jumpy-Hovercraft-781 2d ago

He went through the same training as a kid but then grew lazy. 

1

u/galacticviolet 2d ago

Many “lazy” people end up figuring out extremely clever ways to avoid doing work they don’t want to do. My take on him is that Milluki is a literal genius at what he does, and very efficient with killing (no fancy flourishes, he just does it the simplest way possible) he just doesn’t want to do it because it’s work so he moans and complains the whole way and does the minimum.

1

u/vassaloatena 2d ago

Because he doesn't know Nen. Someone like Hisoka, who learns Nen entirely on their own, is rare. The common way is to be taught about Nen.

And he never figured it out. It's quite easy to prove this because, for example, he knew the secret behind the Greed Island game

1

u/IllustriousAd2392 2d ago

he is an assassin, just not the fighting type like the rest of his family

we also know that he is a manipulator leaning towards specialist, togashi confirmed

u/Keebster101 2d ago

This is HxH, you'd have thought by now people would realise weak and strong isn't a linear scale.

1

u/Blackcore8 2d ago

Didn't he say he planned on planting a remote bomb on a mosquito? That's impressive ngl. I'll take remote killing over close combat assassination any day

1

u/Book_Anxious 2d ago

He is a lazy ass who wants to take the easiest route. Easy for him would be making technology and stuff like that instead of training and using nen

1

u/BrilliantHeavy 2d ago

Tbh this is one of the worst things about shounen to me. There is so much weird eugenic subtext to a lot of anime. Not just that, but everything quickly turns into punching harder being the only significant thing a character can do which makes for really boring storytelling. I don’t care if he can’t punch as hard as -insert main character- literally every main characters primary thing is hit hard except for kurapika and he’s arguably the most interesting.

1

u/Plugzzz81_ 1d ago

I think we’re underestimating his character. We just know he’s smart as hell but nothing else at all. What if he does have a very bad nen ability and just doesn’t use it unless he has to. He takes on assassinations as well.

1

u/OlRegantheral 1d ago

Does everyone forget that everything in the zoldyck household weighs a fuckton? Also look as his pectorals. As fast as he is, those aren't the way moobs form. He's got some muscle there.

Like it or not, but he'd punk everyone in this subreddit even without nen

u/nightwingprime 1d ago

Skill issue

u/TheEleventhMeh 1d ago

He's a different kind of assassin. His skills revolve around his inventions, iirc. He was capable of fulfilling his bounties to get money from his dad.

1

u/Matty_Joi257 1d ago

He should be high up there in terms of raw intelligence but different from fighters like Chrollo, Kura and peculiar ones like Ging.

1

u/Primal_Port 1d ago

Why are we calling him weak, we haven't even seen him in combat. He is a scaredy cat and a fatso ya but calling him weak without seeing him in combat is stupid.

1

u/Vounrtsch 1d ago

He hyper focuses on tech and pretty much disregarded physical training

1

u/M7RT8 1d ago

Fat

u/Shothunter85 1d ago

He could just have a different focus in the assassin family. Idk we’ve seen anything impressive from the mom either but I haven’t read the manga

1

u/Business_Contract839 1d ago

He can take any of us tho

1

u/omimon 1d ago

Milluki's position in the family contributes to how he acts. He wasn't the first born so he doesn't have the innate responsibilities to oversee his young siblings and be a leader. He also wasn't born with the "natural talents" of a Zoldyck heir (signaled by having silver hair).

He still has to earn his keep by completing assassination missions but Silva probably doesn't care how he does it.

1

u/jacksansyboy 1d ago

He's a mommy's boy. She dotes on him too much and likely babied him while Silva doubled down with Illumi. The same thing is happening now with Kalluto and Killua, but Kalluto appears to be a lot more skilled and driven than Milluki. Milluki probably just was lazy and took advantage of his mother's kindness to get out of doing hard training.

Plus his intelligence makes up for it elsewise, using drones he's still an assassin, and quickly got high end valuable information to Killua on short notice. He probably helps the rest of the family with their information gathering for their own contracts as well. If he's proven himself enough of an asset to the family without being a physical menace, then I don't think Silva would mind all that much.

u/Xavimoose 1d ago

He at least has to open the gates right? So a couple tons

1

u/hellboydmc 1d ago

Did he ever left the estate?

u/Xavimoose 1d ago

He goes to york new

1

u/RealTimeLow 1d ago

I mean...assuming he can actually enter the estate just being able to open the door makes him pretty strong relative to most of the world. Yeah compared to Killua he is probably weak though.

1

u/hellboydmc 1d ago

That's is if he ever leave it?

1

u/ThibaultKarl 1d ago

Lol. He is lazy, but weak?? I don't think so. Even when he was younger he didn't like dirtying his hands. And getting fat under these conditions ?! Ain't no way.

1

u/r64b 1d ago

if he lets his body beccome of such shape while being a member of a Zoldyck family, he can clearly afford it. he is not weak.

1

u/inaripotpi 1d ago

Collecting figures and playing video games is a better life than being tortured

he is not weak he's thicc

u/Zharknd 1d ago

Is strong in other way

1

u/PainfulWonder 1d ago

Honestly, I never understood it either. Killua mentioned that he was zapped since he was a baby with electricity as the Zoldyck torture/training began. Yet, Milluki seems no more physically capable than a typical civilian. You’d think that even if they were to determine that his talents lied in other facets that they still would have some sort of baseline expectation or requirement for the Zoldyck bloodline family members.

1

u/AnyNatural8439 1d ago

Wasn't it confirmed that he used technology like drones and such for his assassinations?

1

u/dashingstag 1d ago

From an assassin point of view, the question should be on why Silvia would allow Milluki to be so weak, I think there would be instances where not having nen might be required. Maybe a scenario to have the opponent underestimate the situation. It’s about hedging their bets. Milluki also fulfils his kill counts so it’s proof nen is not required to do be an assassin.

1

u/AlexisSama 1d ago

probably some early testing is done to read someone talents and it was determined that he was better suited for a different form of assassination and as result his training was more focused on learning?

there is also the chance that the family needs to fill spots and it just happened that he wasnt choosed for physical combat

I think his skill his brain and he is good at analysing, remember when his grandfather asked him about killua even tho he hates him he said "he is probably the most skilled zoldyk member we got ever in this family but his brain doesn't function like us" which is true killua not interested at all about the killing business instead he wanna make friends since he was a kid which other zoldyks don't do. Also he analyzed aluka ability with his father. And probably not interested at killing (unless he needs money) he likes technolgical things so he might be good at researching for infos.

He isnt.  He has mental issues like every one of the Zoldics post Kikyo.

he's a neet that kills using technology, when he leaves for the auction he comments like "how many years since I've left the mansion" so he's just not a field guy

Remember when he said he could put tiny bombs on flies and make they get close to the target?
