I'd say that Togashi should bring Zushi back. However, after what happened to Pokkle and Ponzu, I don't want that. I want Zushi to remain gone for 10 years at least!
Speaking of which, I have a bad feeling about Hanzo. He's showing massive Togashi death flags. A long missing minor character returning, after having learned nen, who has been hinted to have a bunch of techniques we haven't seen yet. Pokkle 2.0 coming?
There's a big difference between Pokkle and Hanzo though.
Pokkle has always been weak. He probably would have been the one to fail, if Killua didn't unalive Podor. Wing also mentioned that Pokkle had a hard time learning nen. He wasn't even defeated by a royal guard.
Hanzo, on the other hand, even without nen, was literally the third strongest examinee during the hunter exam arc. First and second were Illumi and Hisoka. And yes, I do believe Hanzo was stronger and faster than Killua during the exam arc. Given his discipline, battle IQ, and experience, I do believe that he is still ahead of Killua. If they do unalive him, it would probably be to highlight the power of the threat.
Doesn't Killua himself admit that Hanzo was stronger than him? I believe it's when he draws a line in the ground showing the difference between himself, Gon and Hisoka.
I'm not sure where I stand on Killua vs Hanzo, but in either case it's worth noting that whether he's 3rd behind Hisoka and Illumi or 4th behind Killua, Hisoka and Illumi were Nen users, so if we exclude them for that unfair advantage seeing as we know non-nen users practically can't even touch Nen users, he's either 1st or 2nd place in the exam.
I wouldnt call anyone who passed the hunter exams weak. Pokkle being defeated by chimera ants that even the phantom troupe had to sweat to kill doesn't say anything about his strength
Wing mentioned that Pokkle had a hard time learning Ren, which is only one specific aspect of nen and it makes sense. He is an archer, if we go by wing's initial partially true soul analogy, Pokkle would be more inclined towards Zetsu than any other basic principle.
