Some time ago I saw a dude who counted how many panels each One piece character had in the whole series. I thought it was pretty interesting and decided to do the same for HxH, it seemed like a fine way to waste time during quarantine and also an opportunity to reread certain parts of the manga. I thought some of you might find it interesting as well so here it is.
One disclaimer: I'm just a guy. I tried to do it as well as possible but also do it fast so I'm bound to make mistakes. That is to say that the panel count is probably not 100% accurate but the rankings and difference between characters should be pretty spot on (in any case if there's just a panel or 2 separating characters you can consider it a virtual tie I guess).
Anyway, with that out of the way here are the top 50:
1-Gon 6873
2-Killua 5680
3-Kurapika 2863
4-Hisoka 1599
5-Leorio 1496
6-Bisky 1025
7-Meruem 903
8-Knuckle 806
9-Shaiapouf 701
10-Morel 628
11-Chrollo 612
12-Menthuthuyoupi 604
13-Neferpitou 540
14-Netero 532
15-Nobunaga 518
16-Genthru 502
17-Ikalgo 499
18-Palm 422
19-Phinks 413
20-Ging 407
21-Tsezguerra 373
22-Komugi 361
23-Illumi 359
24-Senritsu 346
25-Kite 340 *this is for both human/male Kite (291 panels) and ant/female Kite (49 panels) counted together
26-Machi 337
T27-Shalnark 327
T27-Meleoron 327
29-Uvogin 326
30-Feitan 319
31-Welfin 316
32-Knov 313
33-Shizuku 310
34-Pariston 309
35-Wing 308
36-Mizaistom 300
37-Hanzo 285
38-Shoot 282
39-Oito 280
40-Alluka/Nanika 266 *I counted 200 and 66 respectively but it's hard to tell which one it is when they are changing between the 2 so it makes more sense to count them together.
• and we’re back in business boys and girls. ‘smiling again’ is back on the menu!
• no chicken scratchings this chapter and the art is pretty nice
• we finally learn after over a decade what Kurapika’s index ability does, and Chrollo will soon be filing for plagiarism
• also btw, trust Kurapika to think teamwork means borrowing your allies abilities so you can use them for yourself.
• only 2 hours to go before the horn sounds and the ship gets going - officially beginning the succession war.
• idk why this Halkenburg dude thinks the succession battle is opt out, but I’m pretty sure anyone who tries to leave and doesn’t participate will be executed so rip him. Maybe at the hands of his own creepy nen beast.
• anyway, I like the princes/kurapika storyline, but i’m itching to see all the other parties too (phantom troupe/hisoka, Ging/Pariston/Beyond, The Zodiac etc).
• waiting a week feels like nothing after living through hiatus x hiatus.
Now I’m a little hazy on what happened before, but I glanced over the previous chapters and generally someone was trying to assassinate the gauntlet baby Prince and there was a bunch of cartoony things everywhere or something. And there was a room of dead people and now Kurapika is trying to defeat/get information out of him right? Correct me if I’m wrong
Oh interesting new ability
Oh flashbacks to his teacher!!
Hmm interesting
So cute haha
Wonder what they’re up to
Hmm this ability could definitely be useful in the future, if he can use this on anyone
I LAUGHED HARD
Woah thats a cool design
Thats clingy friends for ya
I hope this 2 hours doesn’t take 2 years
Also still not over the design.. like wow. Such design. Much detail
Timon voice: Our squad is down to two~!

Wait... what is she sitting behind... isn’t that

sigh *reads it anyway*
...Ok I shouldn’t have even bothered
I don’t know what this is but I think I just developed a phobia of it
Isn’t that from Alien
I think this is literally political correctness
Nice view..
I suppose its not the craziest thing he’s seeing right now depending on what he’s smoking
Good old reverse harem

...
#yolo

JESUS CHRIST
... reminds me of some actress, can’t put my finger on who
holy SHIT with kurapika’s new ability revealed like.... what a Perfect counter/parallel to chrollo??? i am fucking HERE for what’s shaping up to be the best battle in History chollo vs kurapika is my religion
you may argue that kurapika was already activating Emperor Time because he knew danger was coming, but don't you think that his eyes going red here could also be kurapika losing his shit because this thing is vaguely spider-shaped?
