I think that’s what makes him so fascinating as a MC. The chimera ant arc really does a masterful job of showing what Gon is especially with his parallel to a certain character to be seen..

2023-11-02 19:33:55 +0000 UTCGon is a high functioning psychopath who only cares about what he wants, but because they have been positive things so far, nobody notices.

2023-10-23 01:02:05 +0000 UTCGon is my favorite hxh character I don’t think he’s nobody’s favorite. His character arc is written so well

craftmania
2023-10-19 20:04:21 +0000 UTCIt's true, he is not an enhancer but to me he is physically stronger than Hisoka. Another evidence is that number 13 could stop Hisoka's launch but not Gon's one and they say it was on the same level of Razor (and Razor wasn't even in full power)

2023-10-19 13:10:34 +0000 UTCI appreciate you too dude, you are always nice and gentle. I agree, Luffy and Gon are similar, I prefer Luffy to Gon and HxH to One Piece for many reasons but they are both great

2023-10-19 10:57:51 +0000 UTCnext arc can’t come fast enough yet it’s so close. withering adolescence.

2023-10-19 09:04:14 +0000 UTCI agree with that assessment for sure, appreciate you making the distinction between unhealthy and toxic I think this instance is like a warning sign that things could get worse, the audience starts to ask themselves "what are Gon's limits and what will he justify as unimportant?"

2023-10-19 05:51:05 +0000 UTCThe way I see it is that feeling "weak" is the most hurtful feeling Gon could imagine, I am sure you agree with me knowing future scenes. Taking that in consideration, Gon is not the type of person who will say to you "you reach your limits, stop", because he will not accept that from others either. So, in my opinion it's true selfishness if he accepts pushing himself to his limits, while preventing Kilua from helping him to stop him from reaching his limits.

2023-10-19 04:31:44 +0000 UTCYou actually did not watch the show then lmao, Gon is a flawed character, like his father. When he has a goal in his sights he does whatever he needs to do to achieve the way HE wants to achieve it. It is shown during the Hunter Exam, during Heaven’s Arena, during Yorknew, during, Greed Island, and during Chimera Ant. It ramps up little by little each arc until he completely loses it and permanently damages his relationship with Killia during the Chimera Ant arc. It doesn’t mean he’s a bad person or that he is always inconsiderate or not helpful to people, but to say he isn’t selfish and doesn’t walk over Killua throughout the series just completely goes against the source material, it isn’t even a matter of opinion, it is just straight up factual.

2023-10-19 03:18:44 +0000 UTCAppreciate you, not trying to be rude or dismiss you, have enjoyed your comments and thoughts on the series (especially what you’ve written abt Gon) I think Luffy is similar to Gon in a lot of ways actually, adore him as a main character. Think One Piece also deconstructs Shonen tropes but ultimately reconstructs them

2023-10-18 23:06:06 +0000 UTCI’m a bit too excited to see your thoughts on certain characters in the future episodes but in the meantime BUNGEE GUM POSSESSES THE PROPERTIES OF BOTH RUBBER AND GUM

2023-10-18 21:25:58 +0000 UTCI don't disagree with you in any but just to complement, even if I don't believe it to be healthy I don't think that can also be caracterized as toxic because of the lack of awereness? Like, yes there are people who hurt others without knowing. But in gon's case, I believe is more than just a lack of couscious, and more a lack of knowledge that those things can be harmful. He truly doesn't see that as a problem and neither do Killua. And while even outsiders in the hxh world agree that it can be too much, the morality of hxh is really versitile and this behavior is generally normalized between hunters of high achievements (ging for example). And they are also kids so... Def not healthy, but I don't think it's toxic.
Thali Alexis
2023-10-18 20:57:52 +0000 UTCyess, and I also think it is important to remember that kn both cases he didn't thought about what harms could come out of his actions. In the scene that you mentioned he was even the one to regonize that when he heard the door man. He is selfish and impulsive, but never dismissiful of other people. The balance between this traits and how it works with him being a kid and a hunter, it's what makes his character so unique for me.
Thali Alexis
2023-10-18 20:49:59 +0000 UTCWatching hunter hunter for the first time Killua is everyone’s favorite character lol , it’s kinda like how can you not like him he’s perfect.
ForeignKarma
2023-10-18 20:43:54 +0000 UTCI love Gon because Gon does everything in his power to protect the ones he love no matter what the circumstances are. Selfish is Gon only flaw I could say in the heat of the moment but he stands up for whats right.
ForiegnKarma
2023-10-18 20:39:25 +0000 UTCThis is completely untrue statement. Gon does everything he can to protect his love ones BY HIMSELF. Is that selfish? yes , but Gon has never walked over Killua , they have a competitive relationship that’s all.
ForiegnKarma
2023-10-18 20:30:11 +0000 UTCHisoka is a liar, this has been overly established. Hisoka defeated Kastro, a Nen-user stronger than him, with little effort because in HxH strategy always trumps ability. Razor is an Emitter, not an Enhancer, and in the previous arc it was established that Hisoka's natural physical strength was comparable to that of a pro-Enhancer. Story-wise Hisoka's is Togashi's meta character. He's the strongest because he exploits flaws in Togashi's Nen-fighting system. He's got a questionable interest in kids because "predator" is a synonym for "hunter" as well as an euphemism for "pedo". He's constantly taking showers showing off his abs because Togashi thought it would be funny to get his female audience to lust after him. Hisoka is the writer's little inside joke. He's even dressed as a jester in order to nail this point home.

2023-10-18 17:12:45 +0000 UTCman the rest of the show is gonna be such a wild ride with you girls, I can't wait haha
TuiLa4
2023-10-18 16:57:19 +0000 UTCGon is a selfish character. It’s a recurring theme throughout the entire story. He always wants to do things his way. Togashi always writes his main characters with pretty apparent flaws, that’s what makes them good. He pretty much walks over Killua during their entire friendship because he knows he can get away with it. It’s why their story ends the way it does.
ThaDoubleB
2023-10-18 16:24:06 +0000 UTCI will be there lol, Haikyuu is the perfect replacement for HxH
Yū Nishinoya
2023-10-18 16:23:25 +0000 UTCThis is totally nonsense. We saw that Hisoka broke 2 fingers. In Heavens Arena he won after losing 1 arm because of his strategy and because his opponent was weak, he even explained why he lost. Hisoka didn't stop the ball because he isn't strong enough to stop it, like Razor, so he didn't lie. He bounced it back and you can hear he broke all his fingers to do that, if Razor dodged it Hisoka would have been eliminated. An evidence that Razor is physically stronger than Hisoka is that he doesn't need a Nen ability to bounce the ball back, he uses just his arms. He is an enhancer, Hisoka is not.

2023-10-18 16:21:29 +0000 UTCAfter listening to the full analysis after the episode I've seen their point
Yū Nishinoya
2023-10-18 16:02:35 +0000 UTCOkay I've listened your comments and Lola convinced me
Yū Nishinoya
2023-10-18 15:57:28 +0000 UTCGon has pushed himself until he passed out, he is the furthest from selfishness. Moreover, it's actually selfishness if he removed Kilua from the fight and continued risking his limits alone. This arc especially shows us the competitive nature between Gon and Kilua, so, the real harm to Kilua is to remove him from the court because of his hands, this will hurt him psychologically more than any physical pain.

2023-10-18 12:42:30 +0000 UTCAbout Attack on Titan don't worry, the 4 of November its THE END! The additional thing thats coming it's an artbook and like a one shot of some character but that doesn't have anything to do with the main story! don't worry!
Joaquín Calderón
2023-10-18 12:03:08 +0000 UTCIt’s interesting listening to yous talking about worrying about Gon and Killua’s relationship from the whole hand thing. When I watched i didn’t think it was a big deal at all and I felt that the point of it was to show how much Gon respects killua and believes he’s the only one who could handle this
JATLA
2023-10-18 08:39:57 +0000 UTCI hear you but do you think Killua has a good understanding of healthy relationships? Gon is his first and best friend and the person who has been kindest to him in life, he would absolutely lay down his life for him if it came down to it. So if that happened, should Gon let him? After all, it's what he wants. Obviously the situation is not to the same degree at all, but you could use the justification you provide to justify actual abuse where the victim makes justifications for their abuser, who they truly love. Sorry for saying justify so much lol, I can't think of how else to say that.

2023-10-18 07:56:46 +0000 UTCFr they will want to adopt all the boys Like all the cuteness and humor of Gon/Killua plus emotional growth and layered writing with strong parallels between character arcs 😩

2023-10-18 07:32:19 +0000 UTCI hear you and I don't want to dismiss your comments because I actually agree with most of what you said. At the same time I really believe this is meant to be portrayed as concerning, HxH as a story focuses a lot on deconstructing typical shonen tropes similar to Togashi's other manga Yu Yu Hakusho If a classic shonen hero existed IRL they would have a screw loose and be closer to something like Gon. pathologically obsessed with getting what they want. We've seen many characters comment on Gon's morals and his approach to life including Tsezguerra this episode, he's not a classic hero (I'd say he's on the border between chaotic good and chaotic neutral*) Killua enjoying it doesn't mean it's healthy for their friendship or for Killua as a person (or for Gon). In most classic shonen heroes use the power of friendship to win the day but here it's flipped on it's head. The desire to support someone else shouldn't come at the expense of your well-being especially if other options are present I very much agree that it meant the world to Killua but that's why it's unhealthy, Togashi loves creating these kinds of contradictions within his characters and their relationships * https://imgur.com/a/vOEo8Tp
space colon
2023-10-18 07:13:04 +0000 UTCPhysical pain is transitory, the emotions that come with it matter and last and in this case they are positive, that's why I disagree with you focusing that much on Killua's hands. He chose by himself to not protect them with Nen to get the victory. In my opinion Gon did the right choice, you can tell it from Killua's reaction when Tsezguerra proposed to replace him...instead of hurting him by accepting it Gon gave him a moment of pure happiness
Yū Nishinoya
2023-10-18 06:44:08 +0000 UTCYup, Gon is such a great MC man, love him
Karabo
2023-10-18 06:33:55 +0000 UTCThat last play was so good. I love how he considered Gon's feelings and knew he wanted a total victory so Hisoka oblidged him. Hisoka is like a weird fucked up older brother to the boys (Which kinda explains his relationship with you know who as well)
Karabo
2023-10-18 06:32:12 +0000 UTCI have been saying, Haikyu is goated and honestly specifically for MIlena and Lola, they would love it so much. Let's push to have it in their rotation for the future, they will LOVE IT
Karabo
2023-10-18 06:30:32 +0000 UTCI remember how shocked you and all of us were to see Hisoka in the intro and it looked like he was teaming up with the boys. Glad how it worked out and that final play to fully defeat Razor was a beautiful Hisoka moment. He just wanted to have fun with Gon and Killua. I think we can all relate to that.
Karabo
2023-10-18 06:29:29 +0000 UTCHisoka returning the ball back to Razor with such a force meant he lied when he said he "had" to break two fingers in order to catch the ball in the previous episode. In the Arena Arc he showed he doesn't even need arms in order to defeat someone. Hisoka showing he's much stronger physically than Razor proves he let the enemy have the ball on purpose in the previous round. Hisoka's ability would have made it a piece of cake to win the whole game by himself but he let it be a "team effort" in order to feed the dark side of Gon. Their strategy of all 3 of them merging their abilities together was completely unnecessary. What an asshole.

2023-10-18 05:36:41 +0000 UTCWait. Are you all saying that bungee gum has the properties of both rubber AND gum?

2023-10-18 04:00:15 +0000 UTCI've been rewatching Haikyuu recently, and man I forgot how awesome that show is. So many great characters and dynamics between them. Super wholesome too. And the girls love sports (big fans of tennis as I recall). The matches in that show are so well done. Hopefully more people recommend and vote for Haikyuu in the future.

2023-10-18 03:24:37 +0000 UTCFun Fact! Bungee gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum. Who knew!

2023-10-18 03:08:08 +0000 UTCLM Reactions does not disappoint by picking up on a lot of things in HxH. Razor calling Gon a monster is honestly a critical line for me, especially in light with some of his behavior the last few episodes. I really love that this anime doesn't glorify the shounen character trait of never giving up no matter the risks or the potential costs. It's in fact critical of it and I love Tsezguerra calling him out on it. Its such good writing to have that moment. I've said it before but one of the greatest strengths of HxH is how it twists and subverts a lot of shounen tropes and story elements in a way that feels earned and smart. Its a show/manga that initially feels deeply shounen and almost stereotypically so. Until it starts to systemically tear it down.
David Holmes
2023-10-18 02:59:28 +0000 UTCI agree, Bombers are my least favorite arc villains in the anime. They're not bad, just pale in comparison. And I actually really like Greed Island arc and think it's an arc that's super critical in both how it elevates the power levels of Gon/Killua but also gives a lot of insight into their personalities and motivations. And as you said, what the Bombers ultimately do is put a number of things into perspective. They're narratively important for Gon/Killua, they're just not as compelling as say the Troupe or what's to come. And I find them to be a little too mustache twirling evil for a show with a lot of highly complicated villains. In another anime, the Bombers could probably stand out.
David Holmes
2023-10-18 02:50:45 +0000 UTCLove how Gon has 0 issue apologising when he realises he's in the wrong. He did it with the Zoldyk door man back in 22 and does it here as well. Lesser shows often have their selfish characters being prideful as well, and while Gon definitely has some pride it never gets in the way of his main personality trait, which is his unwavering kindness.

HenryM
2023-10-18 02:36:36 +0000 UTCOhh regarding AoT. The one coming out on November 4. I will asume they are adapting the ending we got before the announcement of the new pages Isayama is going to add. Those 18 pages are new material or at least that’s what they are saying so I don’t think those pages will be adapted into the anime..now I won’t say anything else for the sake of spoilers but once you guys get to the ending then we can start deducing what those new pages could be.
Jack SV
2023-10-18 02:20:02 +0000 UTCBombers, not my favorite but I appreciate what they help put into perspective. They're an excellent tool for the building narrative. Razor is just fun, with a nice wholesome moment at the end who's much more relatable. Dodgeball is also especially relatable, I imagine. Other than that, I'm really interested to see who'll they'll latch on to in the future. I didn't fully appreciate some characters until I rewatched the show a couple times. I was too focused on one character that I missed what was happening with another, when I really I needed to stand back from that character to get the bigger picture.
