Carbon Costume

This article is going to be covering Chrollo’s appearance as a teenager, if you would like to see the other ones I’ve written for him, please check out his York New disguise, his usual outfit, and him as a child.

When he is 19, he wears his hair down with his bangs flat, instead of parted or slicked back, seemingly not yet having his forehead tattoo. In this scene in the manga, he wears a fairly unidentifiable black semi-collared long sleeve shirt, black pants, and black shoes, while in the anime he’s a bit more dressed up, with the same type of pants and shoes, but he’s exchanged the shirt for a suit jacket and a white button-up shirt. In the anime his hair looks a bit browner than his normal black, but the scene takes place at what looks like sunset, so I went with his regular color just in case.

Bisky (voiced in Japanese by Chisa Yokoyama and in English by Tara Sands) is one of the key mentor characters in the anime/manga Hunter x Hunter.

She is the one that trains Gon and Killua to be stronger during their time on Greed Island, and was previously Wing’s mentor. She specializes in the Transmutation aspect of nen usage and is able to shift her form to her full size at will.

Bisky has long curled golden hair, that is initially worn in two pigtails before one gets damaged, and then she switches to wearing it up in a ponytail, with a pink ribbon tie. Her eyes are a muted pink, similar to the color theming for the rest of her look. She wears pink and white bell-skirted dress with a pink capelet over top, white loose wrist gloves, white ruffled socks, and dark pink mary-jane shoes.

Palm (voiced in Japanese by Kikuko Inoue and in English by Karen Strassman) is a prominent character in the Chimera Ant arc in the anime/manga series Hunter x Hunter.

She is part of the Hunters, and her nen type is Enhancement, with her specialty being clairvoyance and being able to track people with that. Partway through the Chimera Ant she gets captured by the ants and turned into one of them, integrating her nen ability more permanently into her body and giving her a fish-based look. She gets heavily attached to people to the point of obsession and stalking, and will go to extreme lengths to go after her object of affection. This is slightly lessened in her ant form.

Palm has extremely long black hair, with the front parted in a way to show the crystal she has on her forehead, and her eyes are a soft grey-blue. She wears a lipstick almost the same color as her eyes, but just a little more purple. Her arms and legs are covered in blue fish scales with fins, and for this outfit (there are a few she has in her ant form) she wears a short lilac colored strapless dress.

Neferpitou (voiced in Japanese by Ayumi Fujimura and in English by Sarah Williams) is part of the royal guards in the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter.

They were the first of the guards to hatch, and put in charge of guarding their new king, Meruem, at the behest of his mother. Pitou is the science specialist of the group, and is in charge of understanding the concept of Nen, and how to use it to the ant’s advantage. Like most of the others, they are a fusion of an animal with the base ant, and have many cat features, in addition to doll looking joints.

Pitou has fluffy chin-length white hair, with a matching cat tail and unmatching light yellow cat ears, and gradiented reddish-yellow eyes. Their outfit consists of a deep blue peacoat with golden buttons, muted orange shorts and matching socks, and blue slip on shoes.

Kite (voiced in Japanese by Christopher Corey Smith and in English by Shuichi Ikeda) is one of the key characters in Gon’s story in the anime/manga Hunter x Hunter.

He studied under Gon’s father, Ging, when he was younger, and subsequently ended up teaching Gon what he knew about the world. Kite, along with his friends, traveled around documenting unknown species, which lead to the discovery of the Chimera Ants and their Queen, culminating in his battle with Neferpitou.

Kite has extremely long white hair that goes down to the backs of his knees, and small brownish-grey eyes. He wears a long sleeved white turtleneck and black slacks, with a light blue layered waistband, and tan slip on shoes. The look is finished off with an oversized mid-toned blue newsboy cap, and whatever form Crazy Slots takes (scythe, etc).

Shalnark (voiced in Japanese by Noriko Hidaka and in English by Griffin Burns) is one of the members of the main group of antagonists of the York New arc of the Hunter x Hunter series.

He is one of the initial founding members of the Phantom Troupe, having known Chrollo since they were both very young, with the majority of the members all growing up together in Meteor City. Shalnark’s nen specialty is Manipulation, and he uses a modified cell phone in order to control people like puppets, which also extends to himself, using his autopilot mode to turn him into an extremely powerful fighting force.

His color palette is significantly different in the 1999 adaptation, but in the 2011 version of the anime, he has a much lighter pastel appearance. His hair is a short cut blonde with a slight green wash to it, and his eyes are a mid-toned green. He wears a matching two-piece outfit, with the sleeveless top a light lavender color, with a black under layer, and different shades of teal as the cuffs and waistband, with small white details. The pants are the same lavender shade, and are cuffed just above the ankles, revealing slip on shoes that match the teal detailing on the top.

I have previously covered the disguise that Chrollo wears in the York New arc in another article, so this one will be focusing more on one of his more regularly worn outfits.

While the other look was meant to help him blend in during the auction and get on Neon Nostrade’s good side in order to manipulate her into giving him the fortune readings he was looking for, this is how he is more commonly seen while interacting with the rest of the Troupe members.

He wears the same teal bulb earrings as in his disguise, but in this outfit he wears his hair slicked back, revealing the tattoo on his forehead. His undershirt is black with a intricately detailed crisscrossing pattern, with a similar ribbon-crossed pattern on his matching pants, and a light tan belt worn off-center across the top of the pants. The main feature part of his outfit is a long black coat with an extremely over-exaggerated fluffy white trim around the collar, as well as the cuffs, and there is a large St. Peter’s cross embellished on the back. The shoes he wears with this outfit are black with large decorate gold pieces that match the ones worn on the shoulder regions of his coat.

Machi (voiced in Japanese by Rena Maeda and in English by Abby Trott [in the 2011 series]) is part of the main group of antagonists in the Hunter x Hunter anime/manga.

She is member number 3 in the Phantom Troupe run by Chrollo Lucilfer, as well as one of his longest running friendships, having known each other since they were both very young. Her nen speciality is Transmutation and she fights using sewing techniques.

Machi has deep pink hair, worn up in a very messy high ponytail and tied off with a light blue scrunchie, which nearly matches the color of her eyes. Her outfit consists of a white and grey short-sleeved kimino-type top, with a long ribboned deep reddish-purple obi, and a yellow ribbon tied around the center. She wears black, mid-thigh shorts, pinkish-purple leg warmers over top of white tabi socks, and the rest of the outfit is finished off with black, fingerless gloves, and a light yellow pin cushion worn around her wrist.
