Isn't Phinks also the new arm wrestling champion, after Uvo?
This is a really hard poll to choose from. Hisoka's my second favorite character in the series, after Killua, so I'd feel obliged to vote for him. However, I'm going to vote Phinks, who's made into my top 5 HxH characters. Nobu's close behind, though, in either 5th or 6th place.
Sticky articulated beautifully how I perceive Phinks. I thought his antics later on in the Yorknew arc during the hostage situation was funny, and he was nice and offered Shizuku his robe thing after the fight with the ants.
Thinking back, I can't dislike anyone in the Ryodan, and no one's really that dull either. Best villain group ever, IMO.
