~ Shizuku after killing Pike.
Breaking the rules means rejecting the Spiders, and Chrollo too. That I never want to do.
~ Shizuku to Phinks.

Shizuku "Shizu" Murasaki is a major antagonist in the manga and anime Hunter × Hunter. She is member #8 of the Phantom Troupe, an infamous gang of thieves with Class-A bounties who originated from Meteor City and massacred the Kurta Clan.

She was voiced by Atsuko Bungo in the Japanese version of the 1999 and by Emily Bachynski in the English version, while in the 2011 anime she was voiced by Miho Arakawa in the Japanese version and by Janice Kawaye (who also voiced Jerry Mouse in Tom and Jerry, Tammy in My Life as a Teenage Robot, Nya-Nya and Timoko in Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, and Peko Pekoyama in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair in the English Dub) in the English version.

Biography[]

Shizuku was born in Meteor City, but she is not an original member of the Phantom Troupe. She joined after a former 8th member was killed by Silva Zoldyck. She is one of the few Spiders who didn't participate in the genocide of the Kurta Clan.

Shizuku traveled to Yorknew city with the other Troupe members to attack the auction, under the orders of Chrollo Lucilfer. She tried to arm-wrestle Gon to win a diamond necklace. She lost, although she was using her right (non-dominant) hand. She later helped attack the auction, and killed Ivlenkov and Baise with her vacuum cleaner "Blinkey." Shizuku then used Blinkey to clean up all of the blood and corpses from the auction.

Shizuku and the other troupe members watched Uvogin kill the Shadow Beasts, and then witnessed him being captured by the "Chain user." They chased them in a car and killed the remaining Shadow Beasts. Shizuku and the other members disguised themselves to rescue Uvogin, and Shizuku used Blinkey to suck the poison out of him.

When Gon and Killua were captured by the Troupe, they recognized Shizuku. Shizuku denied meeting them and was insulted by the idea that they could have beaten her in an arm-wrestling match. Shizuku joined the other Troupe members in the massacre of the mafia.

Chrollo stole the ability "Lovely Ghostwriter" and used it to tell Shizuku's fortune. The prophecy stated that Shizuku and other troupe members would die if they fought the Chain user. Later, Shizuku and Machi recaptured Gon and Killua. However, Chrollo was captured shortly afterwards. Kurapika called and demanded to meet with Pakunoda. Phinks wanted to follow Pakunoda, and Nobunaga attacked him, so Shizuku knocked him out. When Pakunoda returned, Shizuku watched her shoot Memory Bomb into the other Troupe members and then die. Shizuku checked Pakunoda's corpse and confirmed she was dead, before asking the other members what happened.

Shizuku was among the group that entered Greed Island and discovered that the island existed in real life. They tried to enter the island through the real world, but were stopped by Razor. They then re-entered the game and tracked down Hisoka, recruiting him to hire a Nen exorcist to heal Chrollo.

When the Chimera Ant Zazan took over Meteor City, Shizuku and other members of the Troupe went to fight the ants. Shizuku fought an ant named Pike. Pike trapped her in a web, but she escaped by removing her clothes. She then gave Pike several wounds, and then sucked out his blood with Blinkey. She realized that Pike could have countered this by closing the wounds with his webs. She then watched Feitan defeat Zazan.

Shizuku joined the rest of the Phantom Troupe on the Black Whale to kill Hisoka, after he killed Kortopi and Shalnark. She teamed up with Chrollo to find him. She also observed that everyone written in Chrollo's book ended up dying, and compared it to the Death Note (a reference to the manga and anime Death Note).

Appearance[]

Shizuku has short black hair and glasses. She is usually seen wearing a turtleneck and a necklace with a St. Peter's cross. She also has cross earrings. Her Spider tattoo is located on the lower left of her midsection.

Personality[]

Shizuku is very level-headed, hardly ever betraying any signs of emotion and remaining perfectly calm even while announcing that, according to her fortune, she would die within two weeks. She does not mince her words, which causes some of her remarks to upset even her fellow Spiders. She is forgetful to the point of short-term memory loss; sometimes she forgets people's names, or that she has ever met them at all. She can be air-headed, which often causes opponents to underestimate her combat abilities. Shizuku believes in the rules that Chrollo set forth for the Phantom Troupe and is against members fighting one another.

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Gon vs Shizuku - Arm Wrestling gif

    Enhanced Strenght: Despite being ranked as one of the physically weakest members of the Phantom Troupe, Shizuku is still shown to have considerable above average strenght. While using her weak arm, Shizuku was capable of making Gon (who at this point was strong enough to open the gates of the Zoldyck manor) struggle during an arm-wrestling match. In combat, she's shown to be strong enough to knock out opponents effortlessly, showcased when she killed Baise by striking her over the head in one swift motion of her vaccum cleaner.

Nen Type: Conjuration[]

Blinky[]

Shizuku with Blinky

Blinky is a sentient vaccum cleaner and Shizuku's signature weapon, which she is able to summon as part of her conjuration nen abilities. Blinky's primary ability is to inhale any object Shizuku desires with its mouth, with the exception of living beings, although it does work on corpses. Shizuku frequently utilizes this ability to clean up the evidence of the Troupe's crimes and she's also shown to be able to use Blinky in combat as a melee weapon. Once vaccuumed, the objects disappear permanently, though, Shizuku can still make Blinky regurgitate the last object it inhaled.

Shizuku is also able to utilize her vacuuming powers in other ways, such as using it to extract foreign materials (i.e. poison) from someone's body or, in its deadliest move, suck up all the blood from someone's body through open wounds. According to Shizuku herself, she has no idea where the objects Blinky inhales go.

Trivia[]

  • Shizuku volume 16 illustration

    The original Volume 16 illustration (right) and its "corrected" follow up (left)

    In the official databook, Shizuku's name is spelled as "Chzzok". On the merchandising found on the Hunter x Hunter Animate Cafe collaboration, her name was spelled as "Chzzuk".
  • In the Volume 16, an illustration features Shizuku with the number 6 on her spider tattoo, rather than 8. Togashi would follow up with another illustration of Shizuku holding up her finger with ink, now with the corrected number 8 on her spider, apologizing for his mistake.
  • Shizuku is one of the only three Phantom Troupe members to have a japanese surname, the others being Nobunaga and Shalnark. She and Nobunaga are also the only members of the Troupe, besides Hisoka, to have a first name of japanese origin.
  • Shizuku appears to be an occasional manga reader. In the Yorknew arc, she would often appear reading what appeared to be Shintaro Kago's ero guro manga Bride in Front of the Station, albeit with its title written in the series' in-universe alphabet. In Chapter 377, she also makes a reference to the Death Note series, comparing Chrollo's book to the series' titular item.
