Note that I do describe Leorio as “normal,” “humble” and lacking in overall talent and skill in combat, but that is in comparison to the main characters of the show - Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Netero, Morel, Knuckle, Hisoka, The Spider, etc. But he is physically strong, and he does have combat skill. It’s just that we hardly get to see him fight in the series. Compared to the average Joe, Leorio is definitely quicker, stronger and better in a fight. And this is demonstrated even more in the manga. But my frame of reference here was in comparison to his peers in order to better emphasize the themes associated with him that I described.

When even hisoka refuses to kill you.

The only negative about Leorio, is that the story doesn't use him ENOUGH.

Rest in peace, Keiji Fujiwara. Leorio couldn't have had a more fitting voice actor than you.

you may think that leorio accepted to go into the black whale to save kurapika, but no... he just wanted free college credit w/o having to study for his exams. yes, i am also in medical school. yes, id also join a suicide mission to avoid studying. leorio truly is "the people's" character

Leorio hugging gon after he gets healed is one of my favorite moments of the entire show.

Oh hey, a video about Gon's Real Dad.

And the fact that leorio’s voice actor died is gonna be sadder when the new hunter x hunter comes out.

7:31 Biological Dad: "Oh, so you're alive. Of course, I knew you'd be alive," Dad Dad: "YOU're ALIVE! OH GOD, YOU're ALIVE! THANK HEAVENS YOU're ALIVE!"

Don’t let that distract you from the fact that he’s still a teenager

I remember feeling like we missed out on Leorio in the Chimera Ant Arc a friend once said “It wasn’t a place for good men”

Leorio: Gets placed by Netero as the least potential of the rest of the hunters. Leorio: Basically becomes a potential chairmen by not even trying.

Leorio: *the most simple looking character in hxh* Also leorio: *the most important character in hxh*

Originally, Netero thought Leorio had the least amount of potential of the Hunters in the exam. How Ironic it was, that he almost took over his job as Chairman.

Leorio may not be the strongest of the group of main characters but he has a heart of gold.

R.I.P to Leorio's voice actor....He just passed away on 12/4/2020. May he be an angel in heaven.😭

2 years ago: "What a deep, strong, and lovable character" Now: "O K A Y I P U L L U P"

* melody after listening to chrollo's heartbeat, who is calm and quiet * melody: "i can't listen to this anymore. how is he capable of producing such sound?" * melody after listening to leorio's heartbeat, who is emotional, loud and often angry * melody: "you have the most pleasant heartbeat i've heard in this city."

I love Leorio's backstory and motivation. Unlike most characters, he understands the need for money and education to use them as a way to help people. It's honestly far more relatable than most shounen character motivations.

My favorite thing is how Gon's injury was the worst thing that could have happened to Leorio. The same thing is happening to Gon that happened to his friend, except this time there's no way Leorio can help him. He worked so hard and ended up exactly where he began. That's why his scene with Gon after he was healed was so impactful. I too wish there was a scene like that with Gon and Killua, but I would never want to trade out that scene.

Man, if this guy was in My hero Academia, he would be more than worthy to inherit One for All.

"Horny clown man" I died

I think Leorio's lines in Hope x and x Ambition highlight the problems with the world more than the entire chimera ant arc. "I thought I could become a doctor. I wanted to cure kids who have the same disease, and be able to tell them it was free of charge! Then I could have told his parents, too. That was my dream...What a joke. Turns out that to become a doctor, you need even more money! Got it? The world runs on money..." There are people in this world with the potential to carry mankind into an age of peace and mutual understanding, and they can't do it because there are even more people in this world that drag everyone else down so they can make a buck. HxH cuts straight to humanity's #1 problem in the fourth damn episode of the show.

I feel as though the author of HXH was a very reserved person in his youth and he quietly observed people and the world around him. He noticed certain personality types and the philosophies that drove people. When he makes a character it’s like him saying “I see you” to those people he observes. And that recognition of differing personalities is something that can resonant with everyone cause each character is so vastly different from each other.

Leorio has always been my favorite character. He’s unbelievably relatable (minus the perverted behavior), and extraordinarily well rounded, in my opinion. I love everything you say in this video. Our doctor boy needs more love!

The saddest thing about this character is the little screen time he gets.

The cool thing about Leorio's character in relation to his friends is his relative lack of power. He and Kurapika have a similar dynamic to what Killua and Gon have, a beneficial/toxic relationship where each character both gains from and sacrifices for the other. Kurapika was able to provide Leorio with power he lacked in the Hunter Exam, for example, but Leorio got to support Kurapika in Yorknew City when Kurapika had gotten in over his head. I have way more to say on this, but I'm still working the idea out in my head. I'm hoping that Dark Continent is for Leorio and Kurapika what Chimera Ant was for Gon and Killua, an opportunity to push their dynamic to its breaking point and then reconstruct it.

Rest in peace to Leorio's Japanese VA Keiji Fujiwara. He passed away today due to cancer.

Rest in Peace, Keiji Fujiwara. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

“For every complicated and beautifully realised Nihilist there is a horny clown man” Now i’ve heard it all

My dude. He's just impossible not to love. Any time he's on screen, he's just great. He can make you laugh and his skills are constantly improving as time goes on. Am I talking about Leorio or Alec? Yes

Loved that you used a thumbnail from the same shot that you got the Kurapika thumbnail, but they give off very different feelings through the titles. Kurapika's, being about solitude, shows him alone but in higher detail implying his self reliance and strength. Leorio's shows him alone but what stands out is the warmth of the sun on his face somehow better showing his compassion and influence those around him. Both perfect thumbnails from the same shot, but for very different videos.

Just to point out the elephant in the room, this is why Leorio is so widely accepted, because the audience would hope to see some of themselves in them, which, in the context of Leorio's characterization, isn't impossible. The fact that he isn't the strongest character further emphasizes this. It's possible to reach the good nature that Leorio presents even based on his earlier convictions of wanting money just like any normal person-- before further expanding on it. Leorio is so likable because, arguably, he's the better, more evolved heart of humanity. What strikes me the most about Leorio is that in all the plethora of different characters that just aren't black and white, Leorio seems to be the most pure of heart of all of them, a fact that I missed when characterizing all the other characters. Leorio's just a good guy. (p.s: I love the way that Ging shows his respect for Leorio, and considering that ol' Alecz' here has interpreted Ging to be an extension of Togashi, it's almost an indirect way of Togashi affirming his own respect for Leorio in HxH)

May Leorio be a better doctor than even Pitou. Leorio is the audience of the story, the most normal. He's relatively weak compared to his peers, but his potential for strength has always been flirted with. Moreover, he resembles a purity that not even Gon displays. Where Gon is the epitome of genuine curiosity, which makes his moral ambiguity such a treat to explore in the narrative of the story, Leorio represents ..well, human nature. He's impulsive, at times ignorant, moody, honest, and supportive all in one. Essentially, Leorio checks all boxes for how to not be a successful Nen fighter, and I'm in for that because that isn't what he's meant to do. He's wants to be a doctor, and I hope Togashi can at least give him the development his fan base believes he deserves before potentially having to wave the white flag on the continuation of HxH. Great video.

He’s definitely a real one, he’s underrated, mainly because a lot of people I’ve talked to say he’s very selfish when he’s actually not. Even though he tries to portray himself as money hungry, but it’s not for greed.

That fact that leorios hatsu can cure cancer makes me cry

"Leorio you pass because you're *endearing* "

It's funny how in both HxH and yuyu hakusho, the weakest members in their respective crews are the most wholesome one i.e. kuwabara and leorio

A video from Alexander about my main man leorio. A Friday can’t get much better than this

I forgot how much I loved Leorio, this made me cry.

He´s one of my favourites in HunterxHunter. I don´t care how physically strong a characer is. I care more for their morals and worldview and Leorio simply has a wonderful heart. He´s very relatable in his actions and flaws. It will be strange to hear another one voicing Leorio (should the anime ever continue), now that Keiji Fujiwara died. He really gave him a vey down-to-earth and warm voice. I wouldn´t mind more "normal" characters like Leorio in shows like HunterxHunter but seeing such an -relatively- ordinary guy as one of the main cast makes him more special

Without question, Leorio has the best theme in the series. I love the show so much more when he's on screen.

Watching this makes me realize I can be a better person. We all can.

Rest in peace Leorio's voice actor, you will be missed... Fuck 2020

Man I knew I liked Leorio, but now I know I was sleeping on him in terms of really appreciating his character. Well done video man!

I see leorio, i like. I am simple.

When I was 8, I had the biggest crush in Kurapika cause I thought he was pretty, but badass. Now that I'm older, I seriously want to marry a guy like Leorio (besides being a creep)... plus my mum will be proud if I married a Doctor. Finally made it in life LOL

Leorio is one of the few cases of "character growth by having no growth". He doesn't change. He's just a good, honest person and it works.

Leorio is a mature and smart version of Kuwabara

Leorio is such a genuinely kind sweet man , he became my inspiration to be a good man when I was younger and is such a precious member of the main group. Hunter x hunter will never be the same without his golden heart.

Leorio: GONS DYING AND I CANT HELP HIM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Meanwhile, Ging: Oh okay, lol he'll live.

Aleczandxr : Many thanks for watching The crowd: No Aleczandxr , many thanks to you for producing, once again, a masterpiece of analysis.

YES. THANK YOU. Ging absolutely let Leorio hit him. I can't believe how many people I talk to that think otherwise. It's really upsetting to me.

Big bro Leorio is a true hero. Glad he's getting a fair shake here since so many people write him off as unimportant. It's also really cool that both Ging and Hisoka have a respect for Leorio.

R.I.P Keiji Fujiwara, you were a voice acting legend

I will not forget the sigma thumbnail

Leorio is my favourite of all four protagonists. Him always having to keep up with the rest if the squad reminds me of my elementary school days where I was in the same position. Unlike to Leorio however, I didn't had any goals, dreams or even an own opinion back in the day, so it was easy for others to pick on me or leave me behind. Anyways, out of the cast, he's the closest one to an average bloke. But what stands out are the things this video brilliantly broke down. I don't think I'll stomach HxH ending without Leorio getting his own arc or at least a memorable subplot. How long will the narration sleep on this gem of a character??

For a moment I thought this title implied Truth's true identity from FMA is actually Leorio lmfao Wouldn't be surprised, Leorio is a legend.

"This video contains major spoilers" Don't worry I've been caught up with the manga for over a year 😔

Leorio's voice actor has just passed away, I don't know why am I here but rip💞

Leorio is the man we all wish we could be

I see Leorio as having the moral standards of our world, which makes him stand out in the world of HxH. The most rightous and caring character in the show! Parriston is the complete opposite. He wants to break and toy with people as his prey. While Leorio wants to cure and help, as much as possible. They're most likely set up to be enemies/rivals for the future arcs. Cheadle is already against Parriston, while helping Leorio. He'd also be the perfect foil to challenge and make Leorio develop. Hopefully Togashi has a lot in store for our 4'th "main protagonist".

Sigma stare

Two more things for the Election arc: 1- the way Gon was hopelessly laying in hospital probably triggered how Leorio’s childhood friend died and he felt useless in both especially with Gon after what he did to get to college to be a doctor he couldn’t do anything but talking and in his speech in his election he said “all i can do is talking to you all”. 2- in the end of the election we get told that even if an honest good man were to win he will lose it anyway because that type of persona doesn’t seek that kind of power leaving it to people like Pareston in the end.

8:27 I would also add that Netero himself says after the fight, when everyone is gathered into the main room that Bodoro had more experience, but in terms of raw combat power, Leorio was the superior. Togashi has a habit of subtly indicating Leorio's strength without throwing him into a fight. In the manga, Leorio was able to partially open the testing gate on his own, IIRC. Also during the election arc, Pariston lists qualities that he believe a good chairman, he mentions Combat ability, Experience, and Caliber. He goes on to list which quality each of the candidates lack, and all he says for Leorio is that he lacks experience. (He was probably bullshitting but that particular scene always stuck out to me). I feel that Leorio keeps getting a bad rep because we've never seen him in action except when punching Ging.

The cool thing is that it makes him still pretty deadly because of him have good knowledge of the body so I would be surprised if he's a decent fighter and a great doctor.

okay i pull up

Everyone’s back story was so sad, but when I heard leorios it hit me harder. Maybe it’s because it was more realistic. I have so much respect for leorio, he knows how the world is and he’s such a good person in the end. I want more of his past.

He may not be the strongest one when it comes to strength, but he has the strongest heart I believe

*slow clap,,,, speeds up into an applaud and stands up*

Always heartbreaking to remember the sub voice actor for Leerio passed. He bought such life and range to the character. Will never be the same - such an amazing persona.

mans really went back to change the thumbnail. I respect it

Leorio solos Royal Guards and Meruem with ease. And now seriously, Leorio is my favorite of the Legendary Four (Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio). He has heart made of gold. I want a friend like him.

Wonderful analysis! Leorio is our boy

OK I PULL UP

I never thought about it that way, but I absolutely love the reading that Leorio didn't just pass the exam because he got "lucky" and got help, but because he's the kind of person you just WANT to help!🙂🥰

Leorio is my second favorite character after Kurapika despite not making an appearance that much throughout the show. I hope he gets the attention he deserves at the Dark Continent because I love him so much

I am glad that you have done a video about leorio he isn’t appreciated enough as a character great video before watching it

I didn’t need to cry so early in the morning, man :(. I hope Leorio doesn’t die in the dark continent arc, it would make the series more dark that it already is.

Indeed.

Now I want to watch HXH again. And the last time I watched it was 2 months ago.

I wish I could have seen more of Leorio. I really like the guy.

i just realized leorio's reaction to ging about gon. he was actually traumatized by his past and what happened to gon scratched that trauma which led leorio to lash out on ging.

Honestly @Aleczandxr, Thankyou for making these videos. These are the most heart warming, interesting and well structured videos I can say that I've watched. Your videos have helped me through some pretty low places and I look forward to your next video.

Leorio is definitely one of my favourite characters in hunter x hunter and this video showed why I love him so much.Thank you Alexander!

Leori is best Husbando and best waifu. That's how great he is

BRO I LOVE LEORIO SM HES SUCH A BIG COMFORT CHARACTER TO ME LIKE OMG I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MAN 😭😭😭😭😭❤❤

Rest In Peace Keiji Fujiwara (voice actor for leorio)

Classic Togashi, making the comedy character one of the best and most underrated part of the story, now only if other mangakas could do it too *cough* Rock Lee *cough*

Hold up. I need food, then I need to come back. Good gosh what a surprise. Leoriohmygosh a new video.

Ok i pull up

0:39 bro got the light skin stare

I'm a Leorio expert so lets see if this video is up to my standards enough to please me.

Yay, more Hunter x Hunter from Aleczandxr!

Ngl, whenever I remember Leorio, his backstory, and how noble his actions and objectives are, gets me very emotional

RIP Keiji Fujiwara will never forget the joy he brought watching him bringing leorio to life

Yessssss I have been waiting for Leorio video for along time

Leorio pulls up when gon's dad won't

18:06 I can't take that stare seriously anymore godamn it

This video made me think about how much work goes into art. It makes me think about the people behind the art. That someone can be appreciate of art is new to me. It seems like you have a lot of passion for this type of art, and it's impressive.
