Hisoka
is portrayed as entirely self-serving, self-absorbed and selfish
because he does whatever he likes as long as it pleases him in some
way. His insatiable love for spilling the blood of powerful fighters
in combat serves to fuel his sadistic desires. In order for them to
grow to their full potential (so as to improve the pleasure of
killing them later), Hisoka allows the main protagonists of Hunter ×
Hunter to live during situations wherein he is easily able to kill
them. Likewise, he grows excited to meet any new characters he deems
worthy of fighting or anyone with potential to be a good fighter and
entertain him in the future.
With
his manipulative and self-centered nature, Hisoka is essentially a
sociopath. While he does like Gon, Killua, and many others, he has
stated that for him, what is valuable one day could easily become
trash the next, and he will not hesitate to kill anyone should they
not meet his standards. He does not care for what has happened in the
past as he is only interested in what could be amusing to him in the
future or present. While Hisoka's nature tends to be malevolent, he
isn't an indiscriminate killer. While he has no problems killing
anyone regardless of age or sex, he only kills people who are in his
way or people he deems "worthy". As such his character is
more simply amoral than flat out evil. He will even assist the
protagonists if there is "fun" in doing so or if it will
make them stronger for a more entertaining fight in the future. Above
all else, Hisoka cares only about having fun and a good challenge
which may or may not (but mostly may) involve killing people.
