Hunter X Hunter may be on hiatus, but its influence on modern anime and manga has never taken a break. One of the biggest series out that heavily draws from Yoshihiro Togashi’s masterpiece is Jujutsu Kaisen. HXH is a well-known influence on Gege Akutami’s approach to JJK’s power system and combat, but also on its characters.Both Megumi and Gojo have drawn comparisons to Killua due to how they draw on his design and personality traits. Even Yuji Itadori has frequently been compared to Gon Freecs due to his care-free personality, strong sense of justice, and his insistence on brute forcing his way through his battles. As interesting as those parallels are, one pair of characters that doesn’t get recognized enough for their inherent similarities is JJK’s Aoi Todo and HXH’s Hisoka Morow.Todo’s over-enthusiasm when he meets a strong opponent is very similar to Hisoka, right down to the questionable facial expressions he makes during battle. The creepiest thing about Hisoka has always been the downright predatory exclamations he makes towards Gon and Killua when they surprise him in combat. That all stems from the apparent sexual pleasure Hisoka gets out of fighting strong opponents, and that’s something that Todo has displayed to a lesser extent as well. Like Hisoka, Todo can be extremely flamboyant at times, even despite his hypermasculine demeanor. Todo even briefly displayed a cross-dressing fantasy during an anime-only scene in the Shibuya Arc, further committing to his well-documented obsession with the pop idol Takada-chan.
