Maha Zoldyck (マハ゠ゾルディック, Maha Zorudikku) is the oldest living member of the Zoldyck Family and Zeno's grandfather.
Appearance
Edit
Maha's body seems to have deteriorated considerably due to his old age. He stands at 140 centimeters (about 4 ft 7 in), 10 centimeters shorter than Kalluto.
BackgroundEdit
Almost nothing is known about him. He was later mentioned again by Zeno as having once fought Netero.[2]
PlotEdit

Maha is briefly indirectly mentioned by Coco Loo when talking about the Zoldyck family.[3]

The Zoldyck family relationships diagram with Maha, as seen in the 2011 anime
Maha makes a brief cameo appearance during Killua's deduction of everyone's relationship with each other in the family. Maha basically has no relationship of any kind with anyone in his family and vice versa.[5]
Abilities & PowersEdit
According to Zeno, Maha was incredibly powerful in his youth, to the point that Isaac Netero, once considered the strongest fighter in the world, received praise for likely stalemate him in a fight: he was, in fact, the only person that far to challenge Maha and lived to tell the tale.[2] However, the statement could also be taken to mean simply that Maha and Isaac have fought in the past and, prior to the latter's death, were both extremely long-lived. It is unknown if Maha's strength has waned with old age.
NenEdit
Maha is the only known Enhancer in the Zoldyck Family.[1]
TriviaEdit
- In the official databook, his name is also spelled as "Mahha Zaoldyeck".[1]
- His name is not given in the manga nor in any of the anime adaptations, having been revealed in the official databook.[1]
- In Coco Loo's explanation[3] and according to the 2004 databook,[1] Maha is Zeno's father.[3][1] However, in Chapter 264, it seems as though Yoshihiro Togashi retconned him as being Zeno's grandfather. His age may have been changed as well since the family tree lists him as being the same age as Isaac Netero.[2]
- It is also possible that Maha and Zigg Zoldyck are the same person and that his name was retconned along with his age and his relations to the rest of the family.
Anime and Manga DifferencesEdit
- Maha does not appear during the Yorknew City arc in the 2011 anime.
- In the 1999 anime version of the Greed Island arc, Maha appeared in a non-speaking cameo.[6]
