Traveling Strike Force[]
Ging is an ally to Sojiro followers, due to their common enemy the Cult of the End. However, he is not on good terms with them, due to his suppose uncaring relationship with his son.

He first came in contact with one of their Cardinals Kyoya, which caused some of his fingers being erased.

Powers and Abilities[]
During his time as a Zodiac, Ging's authority in the Hunter Association is inferior only to those of the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman. His abilities are yet to be fully revealed, but being part of the Zodiacs, a Double-Star Hunter who can qualify for a Triple-Star License, having managed to beat and capture Razor, Ging is bound to be extremely proficient in Nen. Former Chairman Netero supported this theory by calling him one of the five best Nen users in the world, and Hisoka Morow is extremely interested in him. A direct example of his strength is given when he fought most of the Hunter Association without so much as getting a scratch on his person (although it should be noted it was a comical scene and no one was trying to cause serious injuries).
Another example to his feats, he was able to face to fight with Kyoya, a Cardinal for the Cult of the End, to a stalemate, even landed a few hits on him and being the first individual to dodge his Erasure Art (a feat only the other Cardinals and the Archbishop have ever done).
