Killua Godspeed is Not Powerful


Killua Zoldyck is one of the most popular characters of the Hunter X Hunter manga and anime. Unfortunately, due to his popularity, people appears to be blinded by it and keeps on insisting that his Godspeed ability is so powerful that it can take out any opponents.

Unfortunately, this is very far from the truth. Sure Godspeed is enough to eliminate low tier opponents. But it is not enough to dispatch experienced powerful opponents such as Silva, the Royal Guards, Netero, etc…

Godspeed, as the name implies, focuses on speed – as in extraordinary speed. However, it is not enough. A good analogy would be the Flash and Superman. Let’s say that even is Superman couldn’t keep up wit the Flash, the flash does not pack enough firepower to even knock out Superman.

This is the same with Killua when he would face experienced powerful enemies. As an example, let us take Silva. In the Hunter X Hunter universe, Silva is the patriarch of the Zoldcyk family of assassins. This follows that he has skills to keep the frightening members of that family in check. He’s physical built rivals that of Razor so just imagine if he would use nen for defense.

So if Killua would disappear and plans on attacking Silva, Silva would simply use EN to discern Killua’s location then concentrate his nen to his entire body or to parts that he knows Killua would attack. Of course Silva will know where Killua would attack since he has numerous battle experience and is also the one who trained Killua.

Nonetheless, Godspeed is an amazing skill. It might work on mid-tier opponents such as Hisoka, Illumi, the Spiders, etc…

    2. have to agree with this one. Always view the oldies/seniors as Top Tier.
      The teens as mid tier
      All other between Low to Mid Tiers

    1. Yup. But how long can Killua maintain GS before powerful opponents can feel it.
      Youpi for example. Sure Killu can reach and hit him. But damage-wise to Youpi, its mehh

    1. Have to agree. Although one has to consider the opponent. How long will it take for the damage to kick-in. Case in point Youpi. It would take years for those little punches to take effect

  4. Kind of agree in the sense that Godspeed is mostly utility, but as Killua gets older and, presumably, can maintain Godspeed for longer it will get exponentially more powerful since he doesn't even have to think and can auto-pilot his was through combat.

  5. Totally agree. If Killua grows older and can maintain GS long enough to outlast the opponent, he's unstoppable. But of course, Togashi-sensei wouldn't make that happen (presumably) hehe...
