VIDEO : 'Hunter x Hunter' Creator Shares Which Character He Almost Killed Off

Volume 34 of 'Hunter x Hunter' came out with some notes from creator Yoshihiro Togashi!

Togashi revealed that he meant to kill a different member of the Phantom Troupe during the Yorknew City arc.

Hisoka was originally going to kill Machi instead.

The flow of the story had already been roughly decided, but not who exactly Hisoka would kill in the end. Although Hisoka wanted to kill Machi in that place, [he] rejected it."

Togashi also thought leaving Machi alive would make the story more interesting in the long term.
