What Is The Zoldyck Family?
Most people agree that the Zoldyck Family is the bloodiest and most infamous family of murderers in history. The Zoldyck Family owns and resides atop the Kukuroo Mountain, a 3,722-meter-tall dormant volcano in the Dentora region of the Republic of Padokea. Huge stone walls enclose their estate, which is guarded by a big hunting animal named Mike and household staff who are accomplished fighters.
All children in the family are trained in the art of assassination from birth, even though each family member has the freedom to choose the specialization of their skills and preferences as they grow up.
Since their birth, each Zoldyck family member has been subjected to torturous training. They have received training in a variety of areas that protect them from some types of murder and torture. For instance, Killua’s early training has given him resistance to poison and the ability to withstand a high voltage of electricity.
The Zoldyck family is well-known, and whether they practice nen or not, they are all familiar with its techniques. There are presently eight members of the Zoldyck family depicted in the anime: Zeno, Silva, Kikyo, Illumi, Milluki, Killua, Alluka, and Kalluto.
Are They Strong?
The Zoldck family is one of the strongest families in the anime. Each member of the family is trained in the art of assassination. Even in the hunter community, the Zoldycks are feared and at the same time respected.
Even veteran hunters avoid crossing the Zoldycks. They are extremely famous in the hunter community. No hunter interferes with Zoldyck’s business because their family is extremely powerful.
Even without Nen, the Zoldycks are strong. Killua could open a 32-ton gate when he was just twelve years old. Illumi is a master at manipulation, and Alluka has an entity from the Dark Continent inhabiting her. The world is not aware of Nanika’s existence and still, they are feared.
Even Chrollo, the leader of the phantom troupe was in awe of Zeno and Silva’s abilities. Netero, the strongest person in Hunter X Hunter, hired Zeno Zoldyck’s services to help him infiltrate the Chimera Ant palace. Currently, Silva is the strongest member of the Zoldyck family. This is how strong the Zoldyck family is.
