What Would Be The Reason Behind This Ban?

The potential reason behind the implementation of the ban is still uncertain. According to the experts or members of the gaming community, the reason could be the presence of restricted content and the use of drugs in the gameplay. Drugs have a key role and major impact on the gameplay, as per the available information, the usage of drugs has some advantages in the gameplay. Players or gamers will be able to enhance their speed and strength by using drugs. This is a potential portrayal of Drugs are something good or a tool that can be used to improve our existing condition. Gaming experts from Australia believe that it might be the reason for the restrictions and ban from the Australian Classification Board. 

Another reason could be the presence of on-screen sexual violence and the portrayal of characters in a sexualized manner. This under-18 content might be an issue or this could be the factor that led Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact into a failure of regulatory compliances put forward by the Australian Classification Board. Violence can be a reasonable factor for the potential ban, it is possible since antagonists like Hisoka Morow are present in the game. Hisoka Morow is still the iconic villain in the Hunter x Hunter series, he is even considered the embodiment of violence.

Is The Blood On Hisoka Morow’s Hands A Reason For The Australian Classification Board Ban?

The actual reason for the ban is still unknown. The available reasons are just speculations and assumptions. In those speculations, the role of Hisoka Morow is not a minimal one. He is portrayed as one of the most bloodthirsty villains in the entire gaming industry. He is a character who loves to spill the blood of powerful fighters in combat. He enjoys this extreme pain and considers it a driving force in the combat that he was indulged in. He is portrayed as a murderous sociopath in the series. He is a villain who has no problem killing anyone, he doesn’t care about the age or sex of the opponent. 

So the presence of possible bloodshed and characters who have a high affinity towards spilling the blood of their in-game opponents will be the prime reason for the implementation of the ban. This nature of Hisoka Morow can breed so many catastrophic events and bloodshed. According to the Australian Classification Board, and their community guidelines compliances, the content being disseminated via Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact and the character Hisoka Morow might be inappropriate or restricted.

These are all just rumors and speculations, the correct reason for this ban is still unknown. These are all potential reasons and the entire gaming community from Australia is closely monitoring the current state of Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact and is hopeful about the potential upliftment of this ban.
