time.. thats why .. and I am.. my sister said
that my videos are boring, this is why I am
making a video from outside today. Summer
﻿Lets strart the analyses
This video consists of two parts: First I
will look on what Hisoka psychologically triggers
in the viewer.
And The Second part will be Hisokas diagnose.
Part ONE : Hisokas psychological effect on
the viewer
Lets start with the symbolism.
Symbols carry a specific meaning that speaks
to our subconsciousness.
So when we perceive something symbolic, for
example a person with a snake tattoo, we get
a wide pool of information without actively
having to think about it and perceive that
person in a certain whay, because the snake
evokes subconscious information like, poison,
evil, sin etc.
What is sent to our subconsciousness when
we see HISOKA the magician?
He is obviously a clown so lets look on the
clown-symbol:
Historically the clown is the grandson of
the jester, who was a professional fool during
the Renaissance era.
A fool was identified with the lowest underclass.
We differ between two types of clowns.
On the one hand we have the so called “dumb
August”, who is warm hearted, clumsy and
naive.
An example from the arts would be the role
that Charlie Chaplin embodied.
And then there is his opponent, the so called
white-clown, who is intelligent, bossy and
nasty.
The white clown historically developed out
of the Harlequin, which brings us to its screenland
example Harley Quinn.
The white facepaint can be traced back to
middle age religious mystery plays, in which
it was a representation for the death souls
from the underworld.
I guess there is no need to point out what
kind of clown HISOKA is.
The clown figure is commonly used in children
therapy.
The child dresses as a clown, which allows
it to live personality parts, that it normally
would not.
In our society we have fixed guidelines about
what emotions and behaviours are accepted
and which are not, particularly: the negative
and kink.
But these emotions exist within us, and by
not living them we suppress a part of ourselves.
So one reason why many people are afraid of
clowns, is because they confront them with
their own suppressed personality aspects.
A clown moves outside the regulated behavioural
norms and is driven by its impulses which
makes him unpredictable and irritating for
someone who sticks to the social rules.
In Psychoanalysis wisdom and folly lie close
together.
Foolish behaviour is interpreted as a refusal
of the worldy norms and rules.
The wise who understands the absurdity of
the world, frees himself of all social boundaries
by simply not playing along anymore.
So being a fool is in a way a free-pass to
freedom.
All of this perfectly fits with the nonconformist
and hedonistic Hisoka, who wears womans high
heels and lives solely by his impulses.
Which brings us to the next point:
Number two, Power an authority.
People tend to respect and admire powerful
personalities.
Lets quickly look on what exactly makes someone
powerful?
Surveys show that people in powerful positions
tend to not please social expactations.
So powerful people are the ones who are not
afraid to stand out.
Power is as well associated with self-confidence
and serenity.
Hisoka is all of the previous said.
He stands out, is overly self confident and
is never stressed about anything.
See how he first appears:
Long before the Phantom Troupe appears, we
hear from Kurapika and Leorio, how legendary
and savage they are,.
It is clearly stated that they are the worst
of the worst and the pure embodiment of danger.
Next we get to know that Hisoka is a member
of them and then we see that he is fooling
even with them:
All of this creates a sense for his immense
strength and superhuman abilities.
So at this point he definitely earned the
viewers respect and awe.
Hisoka is the perfect example for the series
unconventional structure.
Normally the heroes meet the powerful enemy
at a late point of the plot, after solving
minor tasks.
The course of such story runs linear.
In hunterXhunter the enemy is present from
the very beginning and is even in the same
position as the heros.
They all are participants in the hunter exam.
This makes the plot very unpredictable, because
the endboss is among the heros.
The course of the story is like a chaotic
and random organism, that moves as it pleases.
3.
Hisoka the supporter
From the very beginning we see Hisoka killing
people however he wishes.
This is in itself is nothing special for an
evil enemy character.
The intriuging part about Hisokas murders,
is that he has some rules about who is worth
killing and who is not.
This makes him much more than a regular killer.
He enjoys the fight over power, but only with
powerful characters.
Here is an example of Hisokas values:
He spared the lives of Leorio and Gon, because
they passed his test.
We live in a society of performance and are
used to constantly passing some tests and
to meet requirements.
Passing something triggers a feeling of satisfaction
in the viewer.
So when we see the likable characters meeting
HISOKAS requirements the viewer gets curious
about Hisokas personilty.
He sees value in the ones you like.
This makes him an ally in a way.
It creates a connection and sympathie towards
him.
In the Hunter Exam he gives Kurapika valuable
information that he desperately needed.
In the heavans arena arch he saves Gon and
Killua from fighting too strong opponents
by advicing them to learn NEN.
He is like a father who leads his trainees.
He gives them important information which
is shaping the course of the plot.
The viewer is thankful for Hisokas hints because
they help the protagonists to reach their
goals.
At the same time one knows that his help is
very backhanded because he just wants to raise
worthy opponents, who he can kill in the end.
This puts the viewer in a place of ambivalence.
Number 4.
HENTAI HISOKA
Lets sum up that the viewer first sees Hisokas
supernatural powers, which makes the audience
respect him.
Than the viewer sees how Hisoka helps the
protagonists, which creates a feeling of sympathy
towards him.
And after that, all of a sudden, in the fight
with Gon, Hisoka unfolds his clearly perverted
personality to the fullest, which creates
a strong feeling of shame and wrongness in
the viewer.
The natural enemy of a child is a pedophile.
This is a real-world threat.
So the sense of fear and danger immensely
rises, because he does not simply wants to
kill them, but he is getting sexual pleasure
from fighting them.
Characters fighting over life and death is
kind of abstract and therefore not evoking
a strong and precise feeling.
A grown-up man searching for sexual pleasure
from a child, gives a much clearer and more
intense feeling of shock, danger and wrongness.
So because the viewer kind of liked him first
but than just has to find him highly disgusting-
an inner conflict is created.
The two opposite emotions one has about Hisoka
- multiply the tension a hundred times.
Part Two:
Hisokas Diagnose
Looking on Hisokas bloodlust, his rational
and cold personality, his merely self-pleasing
behaviour and his indifference about human
pain, we can conclude that he is most likely
a psychopath.
Psychology differs between hot and cold psychopaths.
The hot psychopath is over-reacting because
of every little trigger.
They have over sensitive brain-areas for fear,
which makes them very paranoid towards their
surroundings.
The cold psychopath is a very rare and severe
diagnose.
Cold psychopaths are lacking mirror-neurons,
which means that they are not able to be emphatic.
They can do the most cruel and horrible things
without being emotionally involved.
Their brain areas for fear are basically inactive,
which makes them unscrupulous and fearless.
They have a severe dysfunction in the prefrontal
cortex.
They act soleley for their joy and satisfaction.
Cold psychopaths often are serial killers
and sadists.
You can see the paralles to Hisoka.
We are very lucky that this condition is very
rare.
