Bodoro

Name: Bodoro

Gender: Male

Exam Number: 191

Bodoro is characterized by his long white hair, which he ties back in a bundle, giving him the look of an experienced, disciplined martial artist.

His demeanor suggests maturity and seriousness, fitting someone who has trained in martial arts for many years.

Although not much is revealed about his inner thoughts, his conduct during the exam shows him as composed and analytical.

He is not portrayed as arrogant, but rather as someone who tries to understand the situation and act based on his judgment.

Bodoro participates in the Hunter Exam as candidate number 191.

He reaches the final stage, which already marks him as one of the stronger and more capable candidates.

In the final test, he faces Hisoka Morow in a one-on-one match.

Despite his skills as a martial artist, he is outmatched by Hisoka’s overwhelming power and loses the fight.

Following this, Bodoro is scheduled to fight Leorio Paradinight in the next match of the final phase.

However, the match never truly begins, because Killua Zoldyck suddenly intervenes in the exam.

During Bodoro’s scheduled match against Leorio Paradinight, Killua Zoldyck abruptly appears in the arena.

Killua, acting on his own frustration and assassin instincts, kills Bodoro on the spot, effectively ending the match before it starts.

Bodoro’s death is one of the more abrupt and shocking moments of the early Hunter Exam arc.

It highlights both Killua’s lethal background and the brutal, unforgiving nature of the Hunter world, where even skilled adults are not safe.

In the first anime adaptation of Hunter × Hunter, Bodoro’s background is expanded slightly.

He reveals that he had already taken the Hunter Exam once before, about a year earlier, and failed quickly during the first phase.

This earlier failure shows that even a capable martial artist can struggle with the unusual and harsh conditions of the exam.

It also adds a sense of persistence to his character, as he returns to challenge the exam again despite his prior defeat.

In that same adaptation, Bodoro tries to deduce the nature of the final test.

He speculates that the last phase is actually an academic or written test, and his comments end up unsettling and confusing some of the other candidates.

These small extra scenes make Bodoro stand out a bit more, showing him as not only physically skilled but also thoughtful and somewhat analytical, even if his conclusions cause unnecessary anxiety among the others.
