And I admit, that would make for a pretty wild episode!

Unfortunatley for them, it worked out\u00a0<em>too\u00a0<\/em>well. Killua eventually became bored of living under the control of his parents. He betrayed his family and ran away, and eventually became a contestant in the Hunter Exams just for fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Arkham: Honestly, who could blame him?

He&#8217;s also deeply jealous of his talented younger brother Killua, leading to deep hatred between them.
