Hunter x Hunter's Gon, Killua, & Biscuit celebrating after winning a card in the Greed Island arc.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of the best shōnen manga series ever created, Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter, is also one of the most influential, having popularized many tropes that have become staples in the anime and manga industry. One of the series' most important, albeit underrated arcs, Greed Island, even predicted the rise of one of anime’s biggest genres: isekai.
In Hunter x Hunter's case, Gon and Killua are whisked away to Greed Island in search of Gon’s father, Gin. While this is not the first utilization of the isekai genre, especially in a shōnen series, it is undoubtedly one of the most iconic depictions. The isekai genre continued to gain traction following Greed Island’s release, displaying how Hunter x Hunter's storytelling was ahead of its time.
The first complete print volume of Sword Art Online was published in 2009 when the series was adapted to a light novel, and went on to become an immensely popular anime and manga series. Like Hunter x Hunter’s application of the isekai genre, the characters in Sword Art Online are trapped in a world that uses video game mechanics and are forced to survive a number of perilous trials and battles.
