History of Ryuseigai City

Not much is known about this Ryuseigai (city of the Shooting Star) city, much of the information inside is shrouded in mystery. It is said that this city is at least five hundred years old, and is believed to have been founded by a dictator who wanted to separate mankind. Since then, Ryuseigai city has become a dumping ground for other countries.

Ryuseigai city is said to have the most diverse ethnic background of all the countries in the Hunter x Hunter series. The population of the city of Ryuseigai is estimated at eight to ten million people, with an area of ​​approximately 5,985.74 km², or 2,311.11 square miles.

According to Leorio, due to the fact that most of the residents of Ryuseigai have no personal track record, this city has become the birthplace of assassins and untraceable assassins, while on the other hand, the Mafia community often invests heavily in this city so that they can always have a large backup of assassins. .

Each of its inhabitants has an extraordinary bond, which is described as “thinner than water, and thicker than blood“, to the point that they are ready to lay down their own lives for their fellow residents of Ryuseigai town.

The Beginning of the Gathering of the Genei Ryodan

Ryuseigai is the city where the legendary Genei Ryodan was born, a city that has no laws and no government system. The gloomy situation in the city of Ryusegai is what finally made the Genei Ryodan (Phantom Troupe) organization formed. An organization born of despair and poverty.

After a long time of not seeing each other, the Genei Ryodan finally decided to meet in York Shin (Yorknew City), about 2 years they were separated from each other. In this arc they have a plan to steal a valuable item that will be auctioned at York Shin on the first day of September and kill those who interfere in their affairs there.

The Phantom Troupe has 13 original members with extraordinary abilities, including their leader. Their trademark is a spider tattoo with 12 legs and 1 head, on their tattoos there are numbers that indicate the member numbers of each Genei Ryodan group.

Phantom Troupe Organization Rules

The Genei Ryodan has rules unlike an organization in general. They welcome anyone to enter this organization on the condition that they can defeat one of its members. If the challenger wins, he will enter the Genei Ryodan to replace the losing member. And this is the main reason why the Phantom Troupe changes members so often.

Even anyone can challenge Chrollo Lucilfer or Kuroro Rushirufuru to occupy the highest position in the Genei Ryodan organization. But until now no one has dared to challenge him because he is the strongest member of the organization whose strength is greatly feared.

Even though they are a brutal criminal organization, inside the Phantom Troupe they are all like a family. In this organization it is strictly forbidden to fight with each other, let alone to kill between members. If there is a dispute among its members, they will determine their attitude and a way out by tossing a coin whose decision must be accepted by all parties.

Chrollo Lucilfer as the main leader of this organization has the full right to determine the replacement of their lost members. Everyone who is a member of the Genei Ryodan is arguably a replaceable resource, even the leader himself. Chrollo Lucilfer’s orders came first and had the highest priority, but his life was second only to the Phantom Troupe.

If it turns out that the leader must die, then the Genei Ryodan must find a new chairman so that the organization continues to run as usual. But so far, nothing like this has ever happened. Chrollo Lucilfer or Kuroro Rushirufuru is still the leader of the Genei Ryodan to this day.

Genei Ryodan Aksi Actions and How it Works

In the Hunter X Hunter series, the Genei Ryodan has been recorded for several times carrying out brutal actions. They are the organization that is responsible for the extinction of the Kuruta tribe, in fact they took all the red eyeballs of the Kuruta tribe and left only Kurapika alive. They are also the organization responsible for the chaos that occurred in Yorkshin City which made their bounty prices soar so that they became the target of Hunters.

Even though they are in the same organization, the fact is that in carrying out their actions, the Genei Ryodan rarely group together and almost always move on their own. They also never cooperated with other groups in carrying out various robberies and murders. Each member of the Phantom Troupe has their own role, from the main fighter to the intelligentsia who moves under the orders of Chrollo Lucilfer.
