Umori (ウモリ, Umori) is one of the Amori Brothers. He was examinee #199 in the 287th Hunter Exam[1] and #129[2] in the 288th Hunter Exam.[3]
Appearance[]
Umori sports a brimmed skull hat, a short-sleeved pinstriped shirt over a long-sleeved plain shirt, plain pants, and shoes. He has almond-shaped eyes, sharp markings below them, and a large nose.
Personality[]
Umori is confident and arrogant, often chastising Imori when he doesn't take action quickly enough.[4] However, he is willing to acknowledge when he doesn't know something[5] and to give in to demands if the life of one of his brothers is threatened.[4]
Background[]
According to Tonpa, Umori and his brothers have attempted the Hunter Exam multiple times and improved their teamwork each year.[6] During the First Phase, Satotz's marathon, he and his brothers help Tonpa to cause some of the weaker contestants to drop out (such as Nicholas), showing that they have known Tonpa for some time and likely worked with him before.[7]
Plot[]
Hunter Exam arc[]
First Phase[]
Tonpa paying Umori and his brothers for taking care of Nicholas
When pointing out some of the regulars of the Hunter Exam, Tonpa mentions that Umori and his brothers specialize in teamwork and keep improving every year.[6] During the First Phase, as an exhausted Nicholas struggles to keep up during Satotz's marathon, the Amori Brothers surround and mock him, saying that he has won the year's pathetic award and wondering how he made it so far. After Nicholas falls to his knees and drops out, the three brothers catch up to the rest of the pack, and Tonpa pays them for their help. Umori says that it was sad to see him go down like that.[7]
Second Phase[]
After Menchi tells the examinees that they will have to make sushi next, they are all left confused by the term. Amori asks Umori if he has any idea what it is, but he replies that he doesn't.[5]
Third Phase[]
When one of the examinees reaches the bottom of Trick Tower and collapses soon afterward, the three brothers surround his body and pronounce him dead. Umori calls him an idiot and says he should have given up and tried next year.[8]
Fourth Phase[]
On Zevil Island, as Imori stalks Killua to take his badge, Amori and Umori pursue Shishito and Kenmi. Amori is followed by Hanzo, but the ninja does not act on account of Umori being with his target at all times. The two eventually succeed in getting the badges of their targets before meeting back up with Imori, thinking he has done the same. When they learn that he hasn't, Amori kicks him, and Umori punches him, with the latter threatening to punch him again if he doesn't take his badge. When Killua quickly recovers from Imori's kick, Amori guesses that the attack must have whiffed, and Umori asks if he's toying with him. After Killua steals Imori's badge and asks the other two if they have #199, Amori becomes serious and tells Umori to take positions. The three brothers form a triangle in front of Killua, who suddenly leaps off a nearby tree high into the air and appears right behind Amori, kicking the back of his legs and forcing him to his knees. Killua then holds his sharp nails to his neck and draws a drop of blood, telling him to keep still and left disappointed by his #197 badge. After receiving Umori's #199 badge, he throws Imori and Amori's badges far into the distance. He tells them they have five days left to recover them, quickly disappearing into the forest.[4] Hanzo, having been deceived into taking Imori's badge by Killua, eventually returns for their two remaining badges.[9]
Greed Island arc[]
Umori and his brothers defeated by Killua
Umori and his brothers participate in the 288th Hunter Exam, but all three are easily defeated along with the rest of the examinees by Killua during the First Phase. Amori reflects on their training and says they were confident and practiced until they coughed up blood, perfecting their combination moves. However, he realizes that they failed because they ignored the existence of prodigies they couldn't imagine, describing Killua as someone born to be a first-rate Hunter. He wonders what their effort was for, especially since Killua will see them as having accomplished nothing. As his consciousness begins to fade, Amori says that it will be their last year taking the exam, guessing that others will make the same decision.[3]
