Hunter Exam Arc
Bodoro first appears during the 287th Hunter exam, as one of the 24 candidates who passes Lippo's 3rd phase and reach the 4th phase of the exam on Zevil Island. During this phase he fights and defeats Ryu and is qualified for the final phase of the exam.

During the Final Phase of the exam, a martial arts tournament, Bodoro's first match is against Hisoka. He is unable to injure the magician despite his experience as a fighter; after being knocked to the floor, Hisoka whispers something in Bodoro's ear and Bodoro surrenders. To this day, it is uncertain what exactly was said between them.

His next fight against Leorio is delayed, as Leorio doesn't feel it fair that Bodoro has to fight while wounded. However, after the fight begins, Killua interferes and suddenly stabs Bodoro through the chest, killing him.
