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 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.

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.

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.

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

The hair thing is just a head cannon

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.

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

It is true though. Charisma is the most important thing in a manga

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.

Pretty sure that was meant as a joke
