Hanzo Workout: Train like The Powerful Hunter from HXH!

Our Hunter X Hunter Inspired Workouts Database is blowing up now that we have news that we’re getting more HXH!

We had a few other characters trickle in the last couple of weeks and this week we’re getting two more, starting with Hanzo.

Hanzo didn’t quite make it onto our lists of the most powerful Hunter X Hunter characters or the most popular Hunter X Hunter characters – but he’s actually not far off from both.

We’ll talk more about his powers in our workout routine research section, but in terms of popularity Hanzo is a fan favorite – and for good reason!

He’s going to be a super fun character for members to receive as an answer on our Hunter X Hunter Workout Placement Quiz.

Hanzo Stats:

Real Name: Hanzo Mori

Height: N/A

Weight: N/A

Anime: Hunter X Hunter

Powers: Yes

There’s no official height and weight listed for Hanzo, but he seems to stand in a bit above the average height range we’ve seen among male anime characters and closer to the range we’ve seen among male celebs and superheroes.

He also struts a muscular physique, and if I had to give it a guesstimate I’d put him between 5’10-6’3 and 175-210 lbs.

Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4.  Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.

One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.

We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.

Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.

But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.

We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Hanzo Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**

Every hero needs to still have a good diet.

Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.

You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.

You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.

Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.

Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Hanzo Workout Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

To learn more about Hanzo I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with an extremely brief bio section which they start with here:

Hanzo is a Cloud-Hidden style jonin from Jappon. During the 287th Hunter Exam, he was applicant #294 and decided to become a Hunter in order to find the elusive Hermit’s Scroll. He is currently one of the bodyguards of Prince Marayam Hui Guo Rou.

To be fair, we have seen shorter bio sections when researching characters in our Anime Workouts Database.

Jumping ahead the next thing we can look into is Hanzo’s powers and abilities section, which will give us a much better idea of just who we’re working with here.

Here’s how they break down his overall powers and abilities:

Hanzo has all the benefits granted by his status as a Hunter. He is seen as a very fast and powerful fighter who easily bested Gon in speed and strength. His training as a shinobi was described as being extremely rigorous, but thanks to it he successfully became a master of the Cloud-Hidden style of ninjutsu. During the Hunter Exam Arc, Killua placed Hanzo above himself in terms of strength (with the exception of his “Assassin Mode”) and slightly below Hisoka, although this ranking is highly unreliable, given Killua´s ignorance of Nen. Hanzo claimed that at Gon’s age, he had already killed. He is a good martial artist, capable of stunning and paralyzing a person with a single blow to the back of the neck. He is adept at concealing his presence, although Killua noticed that he was being followed by him, and is also good at detecting other people, managing to recognize the Hunter that had been following him during the second to last part of the exam. His weakness lies in the fact that he talks too much, leaving him open at many occasions.

From there we can also go on to break down his individual abilities as well.

Here’s how his Wiki Fandom goes into detail about each:

Advanced Strength: Hanzo has great physical strength and a remarkable sense of balance, bearing the full weight of his body on just one finger, and claiming to be able to hack off one of Gon’s limbs using one of his hidden blades. He also knocked out the boy and sent him flying with an uppercut.

Enhanced Speed: Hanzo easily surpassed Gon in terms of speed and was able to keep up with a tag thrown by Killua and catch it before it landed despite running on branches.

Advanced Agility: Hanzo is capable of moving at high speed while leaping from one branch to another, as well as having enough balance to easily stand on one leg over another’s own outstretched leg.

Advanced Stamina: Hanzo was able to complete a long-distance run more than 80 kilometers long, and taking place on uneven terrains such as ascending stairs and a swamp, although he was more winded than Killua.

Master Torturer: Hanzo is literate in multiple forms of torture that require no special items. He has the skill to break a person’s arm cleanly. Although Gon never gave up in their match, Killua remarked that if Hanzo used some of his other torture methods Gon would have easily surrendered.

We technically didn’t need to tack on the portion of him being a master torturer, but I purposely left it in there because it’s relevant to Hanzo’s background, and fun information for us to have as well.

That said, these are the priorities for this workout routine:

• Hanzo’s Muscular and Toned Aesthetic
• Hanzo’s Advanced Strength and Enhanced Speed/Agility
• Hanzo’s Advanced Stamina and Hunter Endurance

We’re going to be using weight training for this one considering Hanzo’s muscle mass is a priority here, and that’s the most efficient and effective way to obtain it – and that will lend hand to the speed and agility as well.

So if you were hoping for calisthenics or bodyweight training you can hop back into the Hunter X Hunter Workouts and sort by calisthenics, or even dive right into our calisthenics workouts instead.
