In Japan (フィグ・サイン) this sign is called セックス (sekkusu) and means sex.
Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig_sign#cite_note-5
except the clip you showed, he has his thumb between his middle and ring finger, not between the index and middle finger as the wiki article you linked shows. also googling fig sign images, all of them show the thumb between the index and middle finger, so I'm going to need another source that actually specifically shows hisoka's gesture.


In Japan, that's just a variation of the 'sekkusu sign', some argue the variation indicates 'gay anal sex', however, I couldn't find a reference for that, but interesting it indicates 'breasts' according to the Japanese author of the abovementioned reference book.


In Japan, regardless of the variation, the meaning appears to be always sexual.

The best interpretation is that Hisoka purposefully slipped in a rape pun but was indeed joking with Illumi.

I haven't seen any documentation that placing the thumb between middle and ring finger also means sex. In the book you posted, what they mentioned also doesn't make any sense since killua is a guy. Seems like someone just started the rumor and it stuck. Wonder if anyone's actually asked Togashi about it if it's also in the manga.

That's like saying "a villain killed someone so he is a murderer, can anyone justify it?"

Its obviously not a secret that Hisoka is a pedo. Even if youre an hxhtard, the best you can give him is hes a creep and pervert. Multiple instances hes shown to be interested in kids, and is shown doing sexual gestures.

So whats up with the hype behind the dude? I guess its like Ted Bundy where a group of people just support someone psycho. HXH prob cant even continue up if it wanted to because it has a character thats attracted to kids


I GUESS A BETTER QUESTION IS: HOW DO PEOPLE JUSTIFY LIKING A PEDOPHILIA/PERVERT CHARACTER? WOULD THEY FEEL THE SAME ABOUT A RACIST ONE
because he's not a pedophile. He's not gay or bi he's just hisoka, a power hungry fight loving psychopath. He's attracted to power and potential. You can see how he love his bungee gum technique so much because it has so much potential and it's close to the perfect nen ability. He also really likes illumi and his needles and he also likes Machi very much because her ability is versatile. For killua he liked the fact that he was powerfull even without nen and at such a young age which mean he has potential. For gon, Zepile explained it very well, he cannot truely be appraised and his logical sense and pure determination plus the fact that his father is Ging shows promise in him. Hisoka is not necessarly a pedophile he just likes power and people misunderstood his character.

They don't justify. They just don't care. Tell me when have you seen anyone saying "Hisoka being a pedophile is perfectly fine"?
You're just making stuff up. You made a big mistake by making this thread.

Can you provide source for that? And i don't care about twitter and Tik Tok cause it's filled with retard, so source for MAL or reddit.

Also your part "he wants to rape Killua" is already debunked above.


it literally wasnt debunked. the japanese hand sign for rape is used for hisoka. you cant "debunk" something when u dont even know japanese LMAO

there is no conversation to be had about a hand sign. you cant "debate a hand signs meaning".

this is like trying to argue that the word "eat" doesnt mean to consume food LMAOOO

It seems that you are blind, can read simple things. It is proved that the sign Hisoka used is different from japanese sign for sekkesu(sex or r*pe).

It won't, if you take your food with your ass (which seems you do).
Again i am asking for source .


you need a source for hand signals? you genuinely are not able to look up hisoka hand signal, then spend 15 seconds to see what it means?

kids really be getting lazy these days

I've never seen anyone justifying Hisoka's pedophile on Mal. Maybe on reddit or Twitter but I don't take them seriously. If you give some sources of post from Mal then it may help rather than just accusing the fandom without any sources.

I'm only asking for a simple source which you failed to send. If you send a source, I might believe you but you aren't and you are only further lowering your credibility. And that's the worst analogy I've seen. Good way to use a strawman argument.

why? Because you made a baseless claim ,to back up that you have to dig because we can't find that.

Indeed i won't believe if i won't be able to find it on internet or anywhere else.

At least cows actually exist unlike the forums that weirdo with the Yui pfp is referring to.

It seems that op is just another low level troll, making baseless assumption, accusing fandom that they like Hisoka for being pedo.

From what I can see, its not their first time. I remember seeing him in the Re:Zero forums spouting some B.S.

The fact that I like him as a character doesn't mean I approve of him dude... It's the same as liking any bad guy character. Basically he's fun to watch.
