⋆.🗡️ NOBUNAGA HAZAMA [Hunter x Hunter]🕷️⋆

Nobunaga Hazama (ノブナガ＝ハザマ, Nobunaga Hazama) is one of the original members of the Phantom Troupe. His physical strength ranks ninth in the group.

Nobunaga Hazama (ノブナガ＝ハザマ) is the number 1 member and one of the founders of the Genei Ryodan (the Phantom Troupe or "The Spider"), an infamous group of thieves and assassins originating from Meteor City.

• Nen Type: He is an Enhancer type user.
• Combat skill: He is a master swordsman who uses the traditional iaidō combat style (drawing the sword with extreme speed).
• Signature Technique: He uses his En (an advanced Nen technique to expand his aura) to cover an exact radius of 4 meters around himself. Anyone who enters that perimeter is instantly decapitated or attacked.
• Personality and relationships: He had a very close, brotherly friendship with Uvogin. Uvogin's death at Kurapika's hands deeply affected him and fueled his thirst for revenge. Despite being a ruthless criminal, he possesses a strong code of honor, respects strength, and is very loyal to the members of the squad and their leader, Chrollo Lucilfer.
Nobunaga Hazama is 30 years old
• Date of Birth: Unknown (he is originally from Meteor City, a marginalized area where residents have no official records of birth, identity, or citizenship).
• Height: 1.83 m.
• Weight: 75 kg.
• Blood Type: B.
• Current Status: Active (he is on board the Black Whale ship in the current arc of the manga).
• His best friend: Uvogin. They were comrades before the founding of the Phantom Troupe. Nobunaga was the "fuel" and the technique, while Uvogin was the engine and brute force. They complemented each other perfectly in combat.
• His internal rival: Phinks. They constantly argue due to their strong and stubborn personalities, although deep down there is mutual respect as comrades in arms.
• Position in the Spider: This is member #1. It doesn't mean they are the strongest, but rather the order in which they were integrated or the coin that defines their position. Their main role in the group is that of "vanguard" (attacking head-on alongside the physical combat members).

Design from 1999
Nobunaga typically wears a classic Japanese-style robe and shorts, while his waist and ankles are bound internally by a sarashi. He has long hair, which he usually ties back, and a beard and mustache. His sword is almost never seen outside his body.

Nobunaga is normally a calm individual, but he can be brash and clash with other members of the group. He is a good friend of Uvogin, whom he knew long before the Phantom Troupe was founded. He mourned Uvogin's death, insisting that he wouldn't have lost in a fair fight, that the "chain bastard" must have pulled some trick. According to Franklin, Nobunaga seems to be more effective fighting against himself, unlike Ubog, who grows stronger when fighting for others. This often leads to arguments between the two, but despite this, they usually bring out the best in each other during combat. He also possesses some deductive skills, arriving at the same theory as Shalnark about Kurapika regarding Ubog's disappearance. He has great respect for their leader, Chrollo.

Nobunaga dislikes Hisoka because he believes he informed Kurapika about Uvogin. He doesn't consider his fighting skills and Nen abilities difficult to overcome. Seeing some of Uvogin's personality in Gon,[1] he expressed interest in having Gon join the Phantom Troupe, which Gon refused twice.

Aside from Ubogin, he typically partners with Machi for missions. Although the two don't seem to get along very well.

Nobunaga is one of the founding members of the Phantom Troupe (Ryodan), along with Chrollo, Feitan, Franklin, Machi, Pakunoda, and Uvogin. The group originated in Meteor City, a place inhabited by outcasts of society. The people who live there don't exist in any official records, and the city's existence is known to very few. In the manga and anime, it is stated that the city's inhabitants were once allied with the mafia and were hired by them to do jobs. But later, things went wrong, and it was implied that there was a war between the two. The Phantom Troupe appears to have helped the city's people win the conflict. Chrollo adds more members to the group, bringing the total to exactly 13, including himself. As a founding member of the group, he participated in the Kurta Clan massacre.

At some point, she suffered severe food poisoning after eating shellfish. Since then, she has developed an intense aversion to them.

After being summoned by Chrollo Lucilfer to meet in Yorkshin City, the Phantom Troupe headed to his meeting for the first time in two years. On their way to York City, Nobunaga got into a fistfight with Franklin, leaving bruises on both his and Franklin's faces. He had a minor disagreement with Uvogin before Uvogin went to settle a score with Kurapika, which they resolved by flipping a coin. When Uvogin didn't return, he and Machi went out into the street in an attempt to lure Kurapika, but were followed by Gon and Killua,[2] whom they later captured with the help of Feitan, Phinks, and Pakunoda.[3] They took Gon and Killua to their hideout. When Feitan and Franklin recognized Gon as the boy Shizuku had faced in an arm-wrestling competition, Nobunaga challenged him to a match. While they compete, Nobunaga begins talking about Uvogin, saying that he knew him better than anyone. Nobunaga starts crying and confesses that he wants to kill the chain user. In a fit of anger, Gon smacks his hand,[4] and wonders how he can mourn his friend's death and kill others at the same time. After this, Feitan wants to attack Gon, but after a coin toss, Nobunaga is left in charge of watching over both of them. In the end, he develops sympathy for them both and even decides to introduce them to Chrollo. Gon and Killua are locked in a room, and the only exit is guarded by Nobunaga. The boys begin planning their escape, but Nobunaga laughs at them, saying that they will only be free once Chrollo decides what to do with them. After a moment, Gon and Killua break through the walls of the room, creating their own exits, and then say they will attack Nobunaga, who goes on the defensive, activating his En. The boys don't attack and decide to escape. When he learned of Hisoka's fortune thanks to the most recent ability that Kuroro had stolen, he became so enraged that he tried to

to search for the Scarlet Eyes copied by Kortopi, which were in Squala's care at the time. After Squala was warned that the spider was on its way to the hotel, he tried to escape by car.[5] In the search, Kuroro's group split in two, with Nobunaga pursuing the Scarlet Eyes. He killed Squala[6] and they returned to the hotel to find Gon captured again. After learning that Kuroro had been kidnapped, he had a heated argument with Phinks and Feitan, who wanted to follow Pakunoda without regard for Kuroro's safety, where he ended up being knocked unconscious by Shizuku.

Nobunaga teamed up with Machi to keep an eye on the exorcist. After Hisoka's dodgeball game, he approaches them to try and convince Abengane. He also tells Hisoka that Kalluto Zoldyck is his replacement in the group.

Nobunaga makes a brief appearance where he calls Shalnark to ask if they needed help dealing with Zazan.

Nobunaga is an expert swordsman, to the point that Killua acknowledges he wouldn't be able to approach him without being cut in half. He hasn't shown his Hatsu, but he appears to be proficient in the use of "En,"[7] as it aligns with his fighting style, a branch of kenjutsu. He is very confident in his abilities, as he attacked Hisoka without hesitation. Furthermore, when Gon and Leorio couldn't comprehend his and Machi's power, Killua tells them to imagine two Hisokas. Enhanced Strength: He was able to defeat Gon repeatedly in arm wrestling,[3] even losing once.[4] When he lost, it was because Gon reminded him of Uvogin. His strength is relatively low, even though he is an Enhancer, prioritizing speed over strength.
Enhanced Speed ​​and Reflexes: Nobunaga is a master of Iai, making him incredibly fast. According to Uvogin, he should have no problem moving faster than the speed of sound.[8] He was able to decapitate Squala in a second, even while sheathing his sword.[6] He was able to crash into Franklin in a matter of seconds. Enhanced Agility: Nobunaga can run along the walls of buildings and leap from one to another with ease.[5]
Enhanced Perception: He sensed that many people who were concealing their presence with Zetsu were following him and Machi, although he was unable to locate them or determine their number. Master Swordsman: Nobunaga is highly skilled in the use of swords. His preferred sword is a katana, although when seen fighting alongside Uvogin, he uses two swords.[1]
Iaidō: Nobunaga says that anyone who enters his attack range would be killed instantly.[1] He is highly skilled in the art of Iaidō, which is a set of controlled movements that consists of drawing the sword from its sheath, attacking or cutting his opponent, wiping the blood from the sword, and returning the sword to the sheath. He can use his kenjutsu both while stationary (as when he was watching Killua and Gon)[1] and while moving (as when he decapitated Squala).

Little is known about his Nen abilities, except for his mastery of En[7] and the fact that he is an Enhancer, though as a member of the Brigade, he must be highly skilled in its use. His power seems to increase dramatically when he becomes angry. Nobunaga is skilled in the use of En, allowing him to create a 4-meter circle, which corresponds to the reach of his sword.[7] With "En," Nobunaga can detect anything within this range.[7] Shalnark states that Nobunaga's Nen ability can be replaced.

• Strong Bonds: He was Uvogin's best friend, another founding member of the Phantom Troupe. Uvogin's death at Kurapika's hands affected him deeply, and he swore revenge.
• Character: Although a ruthless criminal, Nobunaga has a strong sense of honor and respects strength and loyalty. During the Yorknew arc, he showed sympathy for Gon and Killua, attempting to recruit Gon for the Brigade.
• Combat Style: His style is based on Iaidō (the art of quickly drawing the sword).

• He professes absolute respect and follows Chrollo's orders without question, understanding that Chrollo is the head of the Spider. However, he prioritizes Chrollo's life over the strict rules of the Brigade, which has caused internal friction.
• Feitan and Phinks: They are his frequent partners in arguments. Nobunaga constantly clashes with Feitan's cold and sadistic nature and Phinks' stubbornness. During the Yorknew arc, he almost came to blows with them because they wanted to prioritize the group's rules over saving the life of a kidnapped Chrollo.
• Machi and Shizuku: With Machi, he shares a dynamic of trust but constant mutual annoyance due to their opposing personalities. His interactions with Shizuku are often comical, as she tends to forget things or ignore Nobunaga's outbursts of anger.

With Gon and Killua:
• He saw in Gon the same stubborn, straightforward spirit and the Enhancer nature that his late friend Uvogin had.
He grew so fond of them that he actively tried to recruit them for the Phantom Troupe, even going so far as to guard the room where they were being held to prevent their escape and convince them to join. Despite being their captor, he showed them genuine respect that surprised the other members of the Phantom Troupe.

In the current arc of the Succession Contest aboard the Black Whale, Nobunaga shows his more pragmatic side by interacting with organized crime:
• Hinrigh Biganduffno: Nobunaga forms a very strong temporary alliance with this sub-leader of the Xi-Yu crime family. Despite belonging to different worlds, they both show mutual respect for each other's combat skills and tactical composure. Nobunaga relies on Hinrigh's intelligence to hunt down the dangerous Heil-Ly faction.

• He's traditional but sloppy: He wears a classic grayish kimono (dogi) and sandals, but always looks a bit disheveled. He enjoys drinking sake and beer and prefers traditional Japanese food.
• Impulsive but empathetic: Although he is a ruthless killer to his enemies, he is the member of the Brigade who most openly shows his emotions. He mourns the death of his friends and is capable of growing fond of strangers if they demonstrate bravery (as happened with Gon).
• Code of Honor: He does not kill for mere amusement without an order or a reason. He deeply respects warriors who have determination and hates cowardice or betrayal.
