TriviaEdit
- The name of Mito and Ging's grandmother was never mentioned in the manga and both anime adaptations, but was revealed to be "Abe" in the booklet of the first Blu-ray Volume of the 2011 anime.[citation needed]
Anime and Manga DifferencesEdit
- The Nippon Animation (1999 anime) adaptation of Hunter × Hunter changes the familial relationships of Ging and Mito's grandmother. Mito was changed into her eldest daughter, whereas Gon's mother was changed to her youngest daughter. Ging was changed to be her son-in-law and Gon was changed to be her grandson, rather than her great-grandson.
