History Characters / HunterXHunterOtherCharacters

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Averted, surprisingly: Genthru is unharmed by his own Little Flower explosions only because he coats his hands with a thick layer of Nen aura to minimize all damage, which leaves him wide open elsewhere. Also, Gon manages to prevent him from using it again by splashing him with gasoline, implying that he could set himself ablaze with his own ability.

* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: {{Justified|Trope}} since his ability will only activate after he explains it and how to deactivate it.

* MadBomber: Obviously.

* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk With a]] HiddenHeartOfGold: In episode 20 of the 1999 anime, Tonpa is the one who noticed that Gon hadn't returned from rescuing Leorio from the ocean, Kurapika ordered all power on the boat be sent to the cannons, so all lights were turned off, Tonpa knows that Gon wouldn't be able to find the boat once he reached the surface; so he climbed a pillar and shined a light out for Gon so he'd be able to make it back to the boat.

* PottyEmergency: Tries to weaponize this several times by [[SchmuckBait giving unsuspecting rookies food and drink spiked to the brim with a devastating cocktail of laxatives that will surely take the ordinary newcomer out of the running.]] Unfortunately for him, he gives a soda to Killua, who is used to ingesting all manner of toxic substances and [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity grew immune to the lion's share of them all.]] And when he tries to pull this stunt later again, he ends up being the one suffering these consequences when he eats a bad batch of wild mushrooms out of desperate hunger.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: In the 2011 anime, he's left bound and gagged during the island portion. By the looks of it, he was disqualified for not gathering 6 points in time.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hideyuki Umezu (2011 Series), Kimiyoshi Kibe (1999) (OVA) (Japanese), Michael McConnohie (2011 Series) (English)

* AllForNothing: He turned what should have been a training simulator created by a veteran Hunter to make his son stronger into an unwitting death trap (or for some, just a trap) hoping to find someone who can win the game and get his lover out of her coma using the spells inside. It fails, as said lover passes away before the arc concludes.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: He offered a substantial reward to all Nen users if they can enter and win Greed Island, without thinking of just how ''difficult'' the game would be (it was meant as a Nen training simulator, after all). It also never occurred to him to hire the most potent Hunters first and have them scope out how the game operated, in order to maximize his chances of reviving his lover.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Greed Island was supposed to be a training simulator for Gon created by his father Ging. But Battera heard of the fantastic spells within it, including one that could cure any illness (Angel's Breath) and one that could reverse the effects of aging (Witch's Rejuvenation Potion). So he bought up all the copies he could, used his power and influence to hide the truth behind the game, and offered a substantial reward to anyone who could win it, all to try and revive his beloved. The result? Dozens if not hundreds of people dead due to the heavy competition, most of them at the hands of a psychotic Nen user. The blood may be on Genthru's hands, but it drips onto Battera's.

* HeroicRROD: [[DramaticIrony He dropped dead from his wounds right as he finished the Third Phase of the Hunter Exam.]]

He has two Nen abilities: after explaining his ability and its conditions (including how to deactivate it), he can place a time bomb on someone, which is almost impossible to remove. Should anyone try to deactivate it, he can also create smaller explosions, burning and blasting anything he grabs with his hands.

* TattooedCrook: Deconstructed; it's all for show. Those heart tattoos on his chest are meant to keep track of a supposed kill tally, but he hasn't actually murdered anybody. And that Phantom Troupe tattoo on his back is also a fake, just him trying to ride on the coattails of their dangerous reputation and make himself look like a much bigger threat than he actually is. The tattoos are also contradictory; the Phantom Troupe kill so many people that they'd never bother to keep a tally.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After Meruem saves her from being attacked by hawk and refers to her as an honor guest, she cries tears of happiness.

* LosingIsWorseThanDeath: Komugi plays ever game of gungi as a life or death struggle, as she fully intends to kill herself should she lose even ''once''.

* TheGhost: Due to Gon losing to Hisoka on the 200th floor, the arc abruptly ends and we never get to meet them. All of them are later shown in [[Anime/HunterXHunterTheLastMission The Last Mission]] movie as enemies controlled by Jed.

* PeekABangs: His brown hair covers his left eye, fitting for his scheming nature.

* DoesNotWearShoes: Barefoot in the ring and sometimes during training, but he uses street shoes. It actually becomes relevant to the plot when Zushi gets jumped and one of his shoes is used to show Gon and Killua that he was kidnapped.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a spear, sharp enough to cut through a tree.

* BarefootCaptives: She's barefooted just like the other prisoners, but considering how cute she is, she makes it look good with her pretty little feet.

* AmbiguousGender: Subverted. It's quite obvious she is female but she invokes this trope to beat [[MrViceGuy Leorio]].
