Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 1999 adaptation stops mid-manga; the 2011 remake continues but this version's darker tone and Yuki Kaida's Kurapika remain fan favorites.
Togashi's Hunter Exam invented the 'death game' exam arc template later copied by Naruto's Chuunin Exams and My Hero Academia.
