Zoldyck family name meanings

I was browsing a Japanese HXH forum the other day and someone pointed out something REALLY interesting about the Zolydyck children’s names (besides the fact that their naming convention is just a game of shiritori, lol.)

If you give the names a reading in kanji, the meanings are very telling:

  • illumi / いるみ / 居るto exist (as a person)
  • milluki / みるき / 見るto watch, to look at it (ie “watching tv”, “looking at a computer screen”)
  • killua / きるあ / 斬るto kill
  • alluka / あるか / 有るto exist (as an object)
  • kalluto / かると / 刈るto cut, to clip, to shear

I’m… getting really emotional about Alluka’s name…….. and I’m so mad that it’s in direct contrast with Illumi’s…. that piece of shit.

Anyway I just found this very interesting and wanted to share it with everyone so you can be upset with me too!!
