Calculated it differently so that the average will be fair. @THELOVELTYGHOSTWRITER Hisoka was originally thought to be placed as Hisoka (Heavens Arena/Hunter Exam). However, ranking questions have been proven to be difficult to do once it has over six options. This is because on mobile, the screen is small and the dragging will be difficult. This is why I always asked to choose 5 then rank them. Then, I will use a system of calculation to get the ranking score. I removed Hisoka in this question because I feel that he is the least person among all of them to have an antagonist role. This is because his role changes throughout the story, depending on his goals. At times, like in the Greed Island, he does not antagonize the protagonists Gon and Killua, he actually helps them. In YorkNew City, he had a temporary alliance with Kurapika. This is why I chose to remove him instead of the others. @THELOVELYGHOSTWRTITER @THELOVELYGHOSTWRITER Killua 127 (28.2%) Kurapika 85 (18.8%) Gon 40 (8.9%) Hisoka 39 (8.6%) TOP 10 ANSWERS "Who is your Chrollo 26 (5.8%) Ilumi 18 (4.0%) Favourite character?"
