Trivia

 * The Phantom Troupe are quite similar to the Band of Seven; both are a group of mass-murdering criminals who care about no-one except each other and have an entire arc revolved around them. Additionally, all members of both groups have a unique set of skills and abilities that set them apart from the others. In both cases, these include superhuman strength (Uvogin/Kyokotsu), proficient swordsmanship (Nobunaga Hazama/Bankotsu), built-in guns (Franklin/Ginkotsu) and healing abilities (Machi/Suikotsu). Coincidentally, both Uvogin and Kyokotsu are the first members of their respective groups to be defeated and killed.
 * Members of the Phantom Troupe usually rank quite high in character popularity polls. Many of them come within the top twenty or thirty characters, according to the second character popularity poll and third character popularity poll respectively.
 * Gon and Killua were invited by Nobunaga to join the Troupe, but they refused.
