Alright, here's what I came up with to comply with the rules fully. It uses PHB and SCAG only for everything except the items, which are from the DMG. I love Hunter X Hunter by the way, so I had a ton of fun with this!

Race: Human

Ability Scores (point buy with 2 extra in Dex from an Ability Score Increase)
--------------
10 Strength
18 Dexterity
15 Consitution
11 Intelligence
12 Wisdom
14 Charisma

Class: Monk (Way of Shadow) 6 / Sorcerer (Storm Sorcerer) 6

Way of Shadow Monk features
--------------
Shadow Arts (level 3)
Lets Killua cast darkness, darkvision, pass without trace, silence. (Zetsu / In)

Shadow Step (6th level, Way of Shadow)

Slowfall (4th level monk)

Extra Attack (5th level monk)

Stunning Strike (5th level monk)

Storm Sorcerer features
-------------

Tempestuous Magic (Level 1)
Gives Killua a bonus action zip away 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.


Heart of the Storm (level 6)
Lightning Resistance and extra lightning damage from thunder/lightning spells.

Cantrips
- Shocking Grasp
- Prestidigitation (Nen Transmuter)
- True Strike
- Thunderclap
- Blade Ward (Ten/Ko)
- Minor Illusion (gained from Way of Shadow Monk - Shadow Arts)

1st Level Spells
- Detect Magic (Gyo)
- Jump (Enhancement)
- Witch Bolt

2nd Level Spells
- Alter Self (turn hands into natural weapon claws)
- Blur (Rhythm Echo)
- Enhance Ability (gain super strength and such like)

3rd Level Spells
- Haste (Godspeed)


Feats and Items
------------
Alert (feat instead of Ability Score Improvement at monk level 4)
- You gain a +5 bonus to initiative.
- You can't be surprised while you are conscious.
- Other creatures don't gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being unseen by you.

Rare Item = Ring of Evasion. Lets you re-roll failed dex saves.

Uncommon Item = Club +1 (styled as Killua's yo-yo, and usable as a monk weapon)


The only things I felt I didn't really cover were his natural resistance to poisons and his skateboard. At monk level 10, he'd get the poison/disease immunity from Purity of Body though. There are a few extra features gained along the way that I left out, but these were the ones I felt really make a true Killua.

This is pretty damn good. Hard to create these characters without a proper Nen system, but this captures Killua quite well.

Indeed, I couldn't have done it better myself. Excellent work! I'll definitly play this build in the near future :)

[Contrast]

Not quite as complicated - I was going to suggest straight kensai.

Flametongue is rare so I don't imagine it would be too difficult to convince a DM to allow a set of monk gauntlets that do electric damage instead provided you gave up one of your kensai slots as well.

Then pick up a +1 ranged weapon (boomerang?) to represent the yo-yos (they were intended to provide a ranged option after all).

[Trickery]

Well, since the serious build is out of the way, let's see if I can make a meme build.

Killua was tortured and trained in assassination from a very young age; therefore he possesses excellent physical abilities despite his slender build. For example, he can jump higher than Gon, a talented Enhancer, can, and even without using Nen he can push open the 5th gate of the Testing Gate, weighing (32) tons in total. He is also immune to numerous types of poisons and toxins, and has great endurance and high tolerances to pain and electricity.He can also control electricity.

Yuan-ti warlock (tome) 3 / storm sorcerer 9
Feats: Toughness, Alert
Immune to poison because yuan ti
Advantage on mental saving throws vs magic because yuan ti

Coffeelock shtick grants effectively infinite castings of spells. Spells can therefore be considered abilities. Some spells used to replicate his feats include:
Haste (physical abilities)
Jump (big jumps)
Feather fall (Anime landing)
Shield (blockin stuff)
Absorb Elements (lightning resistance)
Knock (unlock the big door)
Animate objects (big door opens itself)
All of the lightning spells that we can find

Metamagic: Quicken, Careful (so we can control spells not to hurt our allies much).
