Easter Eggs
During the Yorknew City arc auction, a copy of the 'Greed Island' game is listed as item #775. The buyer is a character named Battera, who bears a strong resemblance to a character named Sakyo from Yoshihiro Togashi's previous major work, 'Yu Yu Hakusho'.
This serves as a nod to Togashi's prior series. In 'Yu Yu Hakusho', Sakyo was a wealthy member of a gambling syndicate involved in the Dark Tournament, making his anime counterpart's appearance as a billionaire game collector a fitting tribute.
In the Zoldyck Family home, Killua's younger sister, Kalluto, is seen playing with dolls that are designed to look like the main characters from 'Yu Yu Hakusho'.
This is another direct and charming reference to Yoshihiro Togashi's previous manga, 'Yu Yu Hakusho'. It's a fun, hidden detail for longtime fans of Togashi's work, connecting his two most famous fictional universes in a small way.
Several of the 'Greed Island' game cards feature names and designs that reference other famous manga and anime series, including 'Dragon Ball' and 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'.
These references showcase Togashi's appreciation for his peers in the manga industry and the works that have influenced the shōnen genre. They are playful winks to the audience that place 'Hunter x Hunter' within the larger culture of manga and anime.
