Are you ready to know more about Morrow? Well here are some interesting things about this Hunter X Hunter character.
1. He Changes His Clothes
In many seasons, most anime/manga characters often have the same appearance. After all, they do not change clothes or hairstyles. However, Hisoka takes his appearance rather seriously.
He rarely relies on the same look. For instance, he changes his clothes and lets his hair down. On another occasion, he might sport a ring and wear a different color of makeup. For these reasons, you might describe him as one of the most fashionable characters of the franchise.
2. He is a Gemini

As for Hisoka’s age, he is around 28 years old. Compared to the likes of Biscuit Kreuger and Isaac Netero, he stands as one of the youngest characters of the franchise.
3. He Names His Techniques After His Favourite Candy
Hisoka doesn’t only love bloodlust. He also has an obsessive interest in different types of candy. After all, he named his Nen abilities after bubble gum and another sweet.
But Hisoka’s love for sugary stuff did not start overnight. As a child, he claimed that he chewed gum for hours because his parents could not always afford such items. Since Hisako is a compulsive liar, we are not sure if he is telling the truth.
4. He Came Back from the Dead
After losing a death match to Chrollo, Hisoka died from his injuries. However, he was able to come back to life by covering his organs in Bungee gum. After a short while, he decided to look for the Phantom Troupe and avenge his death.
There are many theories about this event. Some fans claim that his strength (not gum), brought him back from the dead. Another theory points out that since he died from suffocation, it would be easy for him to regain consciousness.
5. His Bungee Gum is His Best Tool
There are many things that Hiskao can achieve with Bungee Gum. First, he can use the gum to trap opponents and perform attacks. He can also use this item to defend himself against different weapons.
Apart from aiding combat, Bungee gum has healing properties. If applied to open wounds, the sticky substance can stop blood loss and repair any damage. In the Heaven Arena arc, Hisako used the Bungee Gum to resurrect himself from the dead.

Hiro Takashi isn’t new to the anime world. You can find his work on shows like Pokemon, Beyblade, and Transformers.
7. He is a Pervert
Is Hisoka a perv? The answer is simply yes. Apart from having a great sense of humor, Hisoka is also a pervert. If you follow the Hunter x Hunter series, you will find several reasons why he stands as one of the most despicable members of the series.
First, he makes children uncomfortable by staring at their bodies. On top of that, he has even slipped his hands into people’s clothing without their consent. In the manga, he also asked a minor on a date.
Such acts depict Hisoka as a dangerous character. But some fans argue that Hisoka is only acting in this manner without any serious intentions.
