> If he introduced Alluka and her power before now it really does raise the question as to why would Killua leave her like that.
Nobody said anything about introducing her power.
Also you're kind of just reinforcing my point of how this wasn't a good route to go down if the story had killua's throughline be that he's so attached to gon and if she had so much power in the first place. Imminent threat of the ants? He's had the needle out before the palace invasion and there isn't even the thought of his incredibly powerful sibling that could help with the ant problem? What about the hunter exam before he had the needle in him? Zero thoughts back there as well. I mean lol he even visited home at one point and had a heart to heart with his father. No mention or even internal thought there as well.
>It's not retroactive, there was clearly a younger Zoldyk sibling shown walking off from the rest of the family in what, the second arc of the show
It's retroactive in the specific details that don't blend well with how killua ever acted on the show. I already pointed out obviously the picture is there but the point you ignored is about execution. You're just arguing for a connection broadly but I'm saying it's sloppy. I'm hardly the only one that thinks so. Simply having a concept isn't enough, the execution matters. Even just a small inner thought of "this reminds me of..." or ANYTHING like that would have made the "connections" far more organic when we're finally introduced to alluka. Instead we're led to believe killuas first and biggest bond with someone is gon.
>YOU think it wasn't blended well, that doesn't mean it wasn't.
First of all, I'm hardly the only one. In fact, it's usually only superfans who thinks this is masterclass writing with no flaws. I don't think it's not blended well just for the sake of it, I literally mentioned multiple times why it's specifically not. A single inner thought or monologue hinting at an existence of a younger sibling that he apparently had such a deep bond with would have sufficed.
And avoid the bad "how would you have liked it to be solved" argument. "Why don't you write game of thrones season 8 if you're going to criticize it?". Criticizing something doesn't mean it's on the person to fix it. And it's a poor argument when I actually did point out specifically how they could have just subtly hinted at killua's bond with a sibling way before alluka was introduced. If that groundwork wasn't laid out before, then togashi probably should have made the bond less deep to explain why killua literally never thought of alluka, or just go a different route entirely.
>Killua's mother, it's very likely she only cared that herself and Killua looked nice in the photo, as she's never shown motherly love to any of her other children. This picture is for them alone as they're not showing it to other people as evidenced by the fact their pictures are worth millions of zeni to outsiders.
You're just stretching for logic here. They bothered to look nice and pose for the picture, anyone would just take the extra step to not including some kid walking away in the background. Their eccentricities don't just defend all bad logic. We know they have a warped morality, that has no bearing on whether they eat food normally or know how to do basic things...like taking a picture.

I agree Gin is bad father. But unless u read the manga you would know how dangerous Pariston is. I dont want to go into spoilers. Gin wanted to test Gon to see if he would qualify to go with gin to that place, Gon failed in fact Gin tells gon how reckless he was and how lucky he is to be alive. Gin does not have attachments with anyone because he know he would put those people in danger, Hes a vagabond that can erase his existance using a Advance form of zetsu. There are theories that affirm that Gins might not be Gons dad. Knowing togashi we might expect a plot twist.

I understand your point and agree in part, but we've already seen the whole show, we know we ended on a positive note towards Ging, and again, it's the first time they're watching it, they probably forgot what Ging said in that tape, and what we learned about him in the greedy island arc, considering how much they loved the show, I'm sure they'll watch it again and with that they'll have new insights into various things, just like everyone else. But that doesn't change the fact that Ging is a shitty father.
Wallas
2024-07-08 02:45:02 +0000 UTC
Eh I agree but at points it seems like it's not the nuance going unnoticed but them turning their head away from the nuance. Like say for the Phantom Troupe who murdered and tortured Kurapika's entire clan including children they were still interested in their backstory and wanted to know more about them. In episode 37 when Ging spoke a couple sentences and Mito briefly described him they said "I definitely think we found enough to judge who he is." I don't want them to LOVE Ging or even like him I just think the hate is excessive. I'm not sure where it's coming from that people who defend Ging are saying "no he's actually a great dad." I just think he's a deeper character than they care to see and I don't think he warrants "I want to find him and shoot him" type of hate
But at the end of the day it's just one character I disagree with them on they're still the best react channel and this has been my favorite reaction for HxH

Killua in the first episode of this arc said that Gon needs to apologise this time. I don't think Ging deserves to be hated because he trusts Gon's friends, it's the whole point of the show. It's twisted to moralize about everything he says when you like Phantom Troupe, some chimera ants or Pariston himself who is the evil and weaker version of Ging

It's not retroactive, there was clearly a younger Zoldyk sibling shown walking off from the rest of the family in what, the second arc of the show? The seed was planted then. As I said in my first comment, how would you have prefered Gon to be healed? If he introduced Alluka and her power before now it really does raise the question as to why would Killua leave her like that. But as this is the first time Killua is opperating without his needle and without the imminent threat of the Ants, it makes perfect sense. YOU think it wasn't blended well, that doesn't mean it wasn't.
Inorganic? Again, these people don't think like normal people do. Knowing what we do about Killua's mother, it's very likely she only cared that herself and Killua looked nice in the photo, as she's never shown motherly love to any of her other children. This picture is for them alone as they're not showing it to other people as evidenced by the fact their pictures are worth millions of zeni to outsiders.

"He literally says "How did I let my little sister stay like this? Was it because of Illumi's needle?" when he's going through the locked doors containing Alluka. "
Lol yes when he goes through the locked doors containing Alluka *in the final arc*. Not really hinted at before. This is retroactive writing, which a lot are, but it wasn't blended well.
"why would you assume they'd be bothered by that when they're strapping electrodes to their favourite child? "
Because they bothered to nicely pose for the picture? I don't see how the torture for killua being a better assassin contradicts how inorganic the picture was.

Nobody needed Gon to permanently die fighting Pitou. They just wanted a better solution to it than Alluka, which feels completely shoved in the arc and story. It's also just weird that a prominent throughline for Killua throughout the story was that he's very lonely and latched onto Gon as a result...but then turns out there was always this deep bond he always had with a sibling that was never hinted at, ever. And I don't mean like Killua never verbally brought it up, but not even internally or reflected in the dynamics of his relationships. Again, not only does it feel like it undermines his relationship with Gon, but just mechanically, how it was introduced is weak. Even if the picture is meant to foreshadow another sibling...Alluka doesn't really resemble it, plus, the picture was weird, why did they keep the picture of a sibling walking away. It's all so forced. I don't think his arc is particularly satisfying because of these issues, but I can't really delve more into it without spoilers for the next few episodes.

I've argued before that Ging has exceptional foresight and I agree with some of your post about him intentionally portraying himself as disinterested to not put Gon in danger of Pariston using Gon against him but you're probably going a bit far lol
@Shivering King Banana, Reading ahead Pariston absolutely seems like the type to target Gon, and by target I don't necessarily mean hurt him but using him as a hostage/threatening his life as a means to get one over on Ging
HeavenlyR
2024-07-07 22:53:53 +0000 UTC
He's very lonely because at an incredibly early age (looks about 5/6) his parents locked up his closest sibling in an underground vault away from the rest of the world. He's then sent away to fight in an arena for 2 years, all the while undergoing literal torture in order to hone his assasin skills, and being controlled by his brother using the nen needle in his head.
He literally says "How did I let my little sister stay like this? Was it because of Illumi's needle?" when he's going through the locked doors containing Alluka. We can infer from this that part of it absolutely was that, but another part was the conditioning that he had and how his journey with Gon has fundamentally changed him back to the kind child we see in the flashbacks of this arc.
SO many reactors pick up on the picture of the other sibling and ask questions about it, it is foreshadowing and it's clearly her from before she was fully presenting as female. They're the Zoldyk family, why would you assume they'd be bothered by that when they're strapping electrodes to their favourite child?

Lola said something that almost no one realizes at first, the reason why Killua can skip the rule of Alluka to make wishes in a row is because Alluka Loves/needs Killua (codependence nen) Togashi's work as a writer is too good, even tho the introduction of Alluka feels like a Deus ex Machina and we can said that was his mistake, he kept the key for perfect magic/power systems, everything has a cost. For the anime, the payment Killua is doing is unclear but once you know what Nanika really is, it all makes sense, I wont spoil as they might want to read the manga.

Don't lose faith, Togashi is locked in right now, he's updating us with the manga everyday for like 2 months without missing a beat. It won't take too long for the current arc to finish, and after that we could get an anime adaptation of 20-30 episodes or something like that, my guess is 2 or 3 years.

The girls' reaction to Ging is completely understandable for someone who is watching HxH for the first time. Togashi has a peculiar way of building characters, some nuances may go unnoticed at first, I'm not worried about that. But anyway, nothing changes what they said about Ging as a father, no nuance will change him being a coward who didn't have the courage to face his own son

I've heard a lot of criticism towards Alluka being a cop out for Gon's sacrifice, but I honestly couldn't disagree more. Gon dying as a result of his fight with Pitou wouldn't have improved the story in the slightest, instead it would have massively limited the types of stories Togashi could tell with our other boys because of the spectre of Gon hanging over them.
On top of that Alluka gave him the opportunity to delve into the Zoldyk family dynamics, organically introduce world building that is relevant for the upcoming arc and most of all create an incredibly emotionally satisfying ending for Killua's arc.
Ultimately he could have just written it so a nen-exorcist could get rid of the restriction and they had to deal with the result of that, or that Gon was actually fine he'd just lost his nen. This way imo manages to both show how much of a sacrifice Gon had to make for that immense power, whilst doing it in such a way where it feels like a natural extension to the world.

I don’t think they’re quite in tune with just how much cognitive dissonance there is in people, the sheer fact that ging has always acknowledged what he was when a lot of people don’t or lie to themselves constantly already disqualifies him of that. There absolutely are bigger cowards that they’ve seen in shows on the channel just from a glance.
And the ging hate is usually pretty meme territory, yes he’s an awful dad, but there’s legitimately more vitriol towards him vs actual mass murderers and pedophiles on the show lol.

I doubt Pariston ever intended to actually target Gon. If Pariston thought that Ging cared for Gon he would never hurt Gon because then Ging would kill him. The insinuated threat when he said he would "visit" Gon was to gauge Gings reaction. He explained to Cheadle how his whole plan revolved around Gings reaction to that question.
Ging knowing about Nanika sounds farfetched to me. I'd think he could know about Nanikas species. Ging isn't all-knowing, he gets surprised next episode.

What Gin did in this arc was magnificent. Gin being on of the top 3 hunters in the world has numerous dangerous enemys one of them being pariston hes extremely dangerous. If Gin showed any signs of love or care for gon, his enemys would target Gon. Most of the hunters did not knew of gon being his son therefore keeping him safe. If Pariston knew that Gin cared for Gon he would had target Gon. Most likely Gin knew about Nanika, In fact Gon meeting Killua was part of Gin plans therefore keeping Gon safe. Gin Pick up Leorio on porpuse not because he wanted Leorio to Win, He used leorio to make Pariston Win, the words he said about Gon not dying, those words where said on purpose. Gin tricked Pariston into making him the new chairman. He wanted Pariston to stay.........He wanted to go Alone to the place he wants to go. Only in the very End Pariston saw through Gins plans, On making him a chairman and leaving him behind. Gin Is not mean to be a father, His intellect, Potential, Power, Prodigy, Far Far surpass Gon. Hes aware of that, therefore for Gin to have a kid is very unlike him, Gons is a mystery so far as to where he came from. Is very Unlikely that Gin knowing about that place he wanted to go, on the way he fell in love and had a child, thats very unlikely but possible. Gin is aware that hes is one in Millions, in fact hes one the handful hunters that can go to that place.
