As the new Hunter × Hunter anime gets into the Yorknew City and Phantom Troupe arc starts next week, the anime's official site reveals MADHOUSE's redesigns on one of the anime's top villain group!
The Phantom Troupe a.k.a. Genei Ryodan or the Spiders, is the name for a gang of thieves that originated in the slum Meteor City. The group consists of thirteen members, each with a numbered tattoo of a spider on their body.
Chrollo Lucilfer - Mamoru Miyano (Star Driver, Ultraman Zero)
His Nen ability also allows him to directly steal the abilities of other users of Nen.
Machi - Rena Maeda (Hanasaku Iroha, Ano Natsu de Matteru)
Her ability is to form aura into thread, the strength of which is inversely proportional to its length. She is the strongest woman in the Troupe and the sixth strongest overall.
Shizuku - Miho Arakawa (Mawaru-Penguindrum)
She uses her nen vacuum "Blinky" ("Deme-chan" in the original Japanese version) in combat, which is able to suck up anything that is not nen created or that she considers living.
Shalnark - Noriko Hidaka (Star Driver, Ranma ½)
His ability is after sticking needles into someone, he has complete control over them by using his cellphone. He can also use this ability on himself, putting it in autopilot, which gives him more strength.
Nobunaga - Naoya Uchida (Denjiman, Naruto Shippuden)
He specializes in combining nen with the use of his katana in executing enemies. His best friend is Uvogin, and the two bring out the best in each other during combat.
Pakunoda - Romi Park (Shinkenger, Fullmetal Alchemist)
Her ability was to read the minds of people she touched. Her secondary ability allowed her to transform the information/memories into the shape of a bullet which she fired into the heads of her companions from a gun.
Franklin - Hidenobu Kiuchi (Darker than Black, GOSICK)
His ability is called "Dual Machine Gun", and is capable of shooting countless bullets composed of Nen from his fingers.
Phinks - Kenn (Space Brothers, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)
His nen ability is called "Ripper Cyclotron", the strength of which is dependent upon how many times he rotates his arm; the more rotations, the more powerful his attack will be.
Uvogin - Akio Ōtsuka (Black Jack, Fate/Zero)
Uvogin was so strong, direct hits from bullets, sniper bullets, and even anti-tank rockets did no visible damage to him. Like all of the Troupe, he never hesitated to kill and particularly enjoyed combat against skilled opponents.
Feitan - Kappei Yamaguchi (Death Note, Inuyasha)
His Nen ability is called "Pain Packer: Unforgiven" which transforms the injuries he has received from his enemy into an attack. The more pain he receives, the stronger his attack is.
Kortopi
His Nen ability is called "Gallery Fake: Divine Left Hand, Demonic Right Hand", which allows him to make perfect copies of any object by touching it with his left hand and producing the copy with his right.
Bonolenov
He is a descendant of the Gyudondond, a small wild tribe that was chased out of their lands by development. They are called "Bap", the dancing warriors, and fulfill the role of shamans and performers in their tribe. Before combat, they use their bodies to play songs of battle.
Hisoka - Daisuke Namikawa (Go-onger, Gantz)
He combines his magic tricks with violence, and delights in battling against those he considers strong to the point of sexual arousal.
