* HatedByAll: He's apparently so unpopular that when Leorio punched him out on live TV, he suddenly skyrocketed to the third most popular choice in the Hunter election.
* HateSink: The Hunter community dislikes him due to his [[BystanderSyndrome shirking of responsibilities]] (except when absolutely necessary as a Zodiac), [[LovableRogue constant rule-breaking]], and ParentalAbandonment. It's contrasted with Pariston's sparkling image to an ironic effect. A {{downplayed}} example, since despite his faults he's a legitimate badass, honest about his selfishness, and doesn't demand adoration or respect from other people.

** Notably, while other characters are very critical of Ging's poor parenting skills, Gon himself does not particularly mind, since he enjoys the "hunt" for him and he never really had much expectations for him as a father figure to begin with since he sees him as more of a friend or a mentor (he only ever calls him "Ging" rather than "dad").

* StoryBreakerPower: Discussed. He outclasses everyone else in the setting due to his Nen ability (which requires both absurd amounts of concentration as well as physical skill) that he finds himself somewhat bored with life as he is unable to defeat an opponent of his skill. When he fights Meruem, he's elated that he can finally fight an opponent to his fullest, even if that opponent is an existential threat to mankind.

to:

* StoryBreakerPower: His power is to summon a GuardianEntity that is able to land strikes at blinding speeds and fire an energy blast of immense power as a last resort. It took Meruem, the UltimateLifeForm to give an actual challenge, and even then, the Chimera Ant had to rely on his durability and endurance, just to find the minuscule gap to even land a hit after enduring several rounds of being hit. Anyone else in that position would've been one-shotted immediately.

Former Vice-chairman of the HA and Rat of the Zodiac. Despised by most of the zodiac, but has a huge faction of supporters within the association. Claims to be an able negotiator and often mentions the need to save time and money, yet he's a master of needlessly complicating things.

By the time of the expedition of the Dark Continent has been announced, [[spoiler:Ging and Pariston withdrew from the Zodiacs, and later Leorio and Kurapika are recruited to replace them. Leorio is recruited by Cheadle because he's the "most respected Hunter in the Association", and Kurapika is recruited by Mizaistom due to Leorio's recommendation. Neither of the two have earned any stars, and they are probably not as powerful as the other ten Zodiacs; certainly Leorio isn't]].
