Hunter x Hunter (1999–2001)

Hunter x Hunter features a significant positive portrayal through Alluka Zoldyck, a transgender character whose gender identity is consistently affirmed by her brother, Killua. The narrative frames Killua's acceptance as empathetic and correct, highlighting a respectful stance towards queer identity.

The show features multiple female characters who demonstrate superior physical combat skills against male opponents. Bisky Krueger, a martial arts master, decisively defeats male adversaries in hand-to-hand combat. Machi Komacine also physically subdues male characters using her close-range abilities.
