Hunter X Hunter: The Last Mission

Synopsis: Some tens of years ago, chairman of the Hunters Association Isaac Netero sealed away Jed, a man representing the "shadow" of the association that had began to make use of the power "on." "On," being another side of the coin of "nen," derives its power from the user's pure hatred at the cost of their life. Although he thought he had sealed Jed and "on" away, a team of on-using warriors appears at Heaven's Arena's Battle Olympia Tournament. Gon and Killua, who had come to cheer on Zushi, along with Kurapika, who attends the tournament to protect his boss Neon, are forced to find the source of a violent invasion of the tower and defeat it. However, this may not be so easy, as their foes use the power of hatred as they wish for the death of all Hunters. [Source: Cathay Cineplexes]


I am glad to see the familiar Hunter X Hunter characters again, but the movie doesn't seems to have any fresh character breakthrough. Concentrated on its main protagonists, Gon and Killua lead the main charge against the bad guys, with Hisoka helping them in the background. I find that it is a waste that the movie developers did not develop Hisoka further as he is such an interesting character, who can be on the bad and good side at the same time depending on what his actual intention is. Overall, this is an average movie. It will be nice to relive Hunter X Hunter again, while waiting for the current anime television series to complete its run.

Rate: 6/10
