Location from Hunter x Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi
The world's largest auction city — where the Phantom Troupe massacred the Mafia, Kurapika began his chain of vengeance, and everything has a price if you know who to ask.
Yorknew City is the setting for the series' best arc — the Phantom Troupe arc, where Kurapika's quest for the Scarlet Eyes collided with the Troupe's annual heist of the underground auction. The city is a nexus of wealth, crime, and Nen users drawn by the auction's rare goods (including human body parts, cursed objects, and Nen-imbued artifacts). It is the series' most fully realized urban setting — a place where capitalism and violence operate on parallel tracks and occasionally merge.
A massive modern metropolis resembling New York City — skyscrapers, bustling streets, neon signs, and a thriving underground economy. The Southernpiece Auction House dominates the business district. At night, the city's criminal underbelly emerges: black market auctions, Mafia gatherings, and Nen users operating in shadows.
