A boy with a fishing rod, a boy raised by assassins. Let's see what you remember beyond the Hunter License.

Pick your level
The normal quiz covers what sticks after one watch of the 2011 anime: the exam, the Zoldyck estate, Yorknew City and the Chimera Ant King. Names follow the English dub, so it's Killua and Leorio.
Hard mode digs into Nen rules, exam phases, Heavens Arena records and the arcs the anime never reached. Five out of ten there is a solid score.
Yoshihiro Togashi began Hunter x Hunter in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1998, after Yu Yu Hakusho. The series is known for long hiatuses, some lasting years, mostly because of the author's back problems.
The 2011 Madhouse anime ran for 148 episodes and stopped at the Chairman Election. Everything aboard the Black Whale exists only in the manga so far.
Every Nen user falls into one of six categories: Enhancement, Transmutation, Emission, Conjuration, Manipulation and Specialization. Water divination, a glass of water with a leaf on top, tells you which one. Several hard-mode questions rely on it.
All ten easy level questions, with the answer and the reasoning behind it.
