It’s interesting that Ging has such a deep understanding of nen, that he can copy simple strike type abilities. It’s likely that those simple strike abilities fall within an enhancer and emitter skill set. He’s definitely my favorite character in HxH even though we’ve been chasing his shadow. He’s shown to be a genius who simply pursues what he loves to do and it’s taken him far in life. He’s kind of like an MC who’s still going through their life story. He’s insanely smart and perceptive as well despite his brash personality, definitely interested to see more of him in the Dark Continent, I’m hoping he’ll take the spotlight there. The Freecss family all seem to be amazing though, Don has been in the dark continent for hundreds of years, which is the most dangerous place you can be in.
I'm surprised that in a video like this you left out how the anime completely glosses over his desire to take infant gon with him after a year or 2, and how in the manga mito gets custody to secure gon on whale island. Whether ging predicted that outcome is up to interpretation, but leaving it out is one of my only gripes with the 2011 anime. Neglecting that fact leads many people to misunderstand togashi's intentions with the character and dismiss him as just a deadbeat father
But Togashi’s intentions did evolve over time (very in-character for the man) and he did eventually become a deadbeat father. The 2011 anime, having the benefit of hindsight, decided to skip a few steps.
These ones are easier to win for some reason. Togashi didn't seem to be the type that would choose a ten or twelve for a legendary character, 11 seemed so much more appealing.
He's still lazy. There are people who reach top potential by studying hard (Leorio), or by pure physical training or experience (Killua and Gon). But there is also people with high affinity that can do marvelous things just by waking up the right day in the right mood and do nothing right after, just acting out of instinct. That's Ging.
@@yusukeelric Yes Gon and Killua are very talented but still work hard. Both combined into a rapidly increasing powerhouses. The thing with Ging is not just that he is lazy. That's not really true. Ging is lazy towards useless and boring things eg the paper that says he is a 3 star hunter even though he already accomplished it. But learning languages or training his nen to play blip blop or whatever it was called he mastered it. Mind you that demonstration of nen is useless in a fight but just fun. That is him he is very eager towards fun adventoures things but lazy to boring things.
@@yusukeelric How does that mean he's lazy? He was dedicated in adventure and discovering the unknown, now he's heading to the dark continent after years of wanting to do so, which is also something that needs a lot of experience, and it's been described that Ging knows A LOT of things by pure self-education, he's not some guy who was born broken and had nothing else to do with his time. Saying he's lazy because he's not earning his points with an organization he doesn't care that much about, is kind of ridiculous.
@@aliciatrejo3283 I feel like laziness is probably the main factor--or, at least, it's what we're led to believe--but I feel like his selfless and charitable nature makes acquiring a 3-star hunters license meaningless. Also, my head-canon regarding the 3-star license is that he feels guilty that Kite died protecting his son and best friend and, since having a protege of Kaito-san's caliber is a prerequisite to attaining the license, he feels as though he doesn't deserve it yet.
@@natenatenate10 I'm pretty sure he was quaalified to be 3 star way before the story of HxH ever started . He was highly regarded by hunters even in the Hunter exam (satotz) and Greed island (bisky) . So i doubt that's the reason . I honestly just think he is lazy and doesn't care enough about the status of being 3 star to do it.

I think one part of Netero's statement is lost in understanding. "Top Nen-user" does not mean "Strongest person". When Ging is showing the guys on the boat how he can make animals and numbers traversing across his fingers with just Nen alone I kind of realised what Netero meant. Ging is a genius at UNDERSTANDING Nen and applying it how he needs to. Example 1 being how he adapted Leorio's technique. Think of Nen like blacksmithing, An amateur can make a club from a lump of iron (Gons Ja-ja-Ken) An Intermediate can make a spear (Killua's Godspeed using electricity to speed up his physical movement speed and muscle contractions) An Advanced blacksmith can make a Sword to cut anything (Morels Smoke) But a Master can make a Gun (Netero's 100 hands using Al forms of Nen at once). All these people have a different understanding of how to shape a lump of iron (someone's Aura) but the really special people can turn it into anything (Ging).
i mean being "a genius at Uunderstanding Nen and applying it how he needs to" traslates directly to strength in combat. That just means he can have even more nuanced abilities with his understanding , and like you said can create a rocket launcher or a gun with his "iron" . and add to that the intelligence to help with piloting that / those abilities and you got yourself one of if not the best nen fighters and i'm sure he has some sort of combat ability considering he was a zodiac and all of them spar with netero. He is also supremely confident in his fighting capabilities if you read the manga.
@@dragon55855 you're still looking at it wrong. Uvo was the strongest physical specimen we have seen and Kurapika made Nen chains that can bind him. Hisoka is physically MUCH stronger than Chrollo and he was still bested by better Nen use and strategy. Even Zazan had the strength to break Feirans arm with a single swipe and we all know how that turned out.
Kinda interesting how similar but different Ging and Gon are in certain ways. Ging has all the stubborn tenacity of Gon, but he actually has the brains and the skills to survive the dangerous thinky-planny world the story has veered into. That's why I think he's prime protagonist material, after Kurapika (...should we ever get that far).
I like how leorio's hatsu is actually quite useful for the medical field if honed properly to be precise enough to make surgeries without opening up the patient.
Man I so wish HxH would finally continue... I bet Ging would be one of the most hype characters in the following arcs. Him being one of the Top 5 Nen users already skyrockets our expectations and I'd so love to see what this man can do.
Have you ever thought, that maybe the reason Ging pisses so many people off is his Nen ability? I mean yeah he is a bad father, but his general demeanor doesn't warrant the blatantly hostile way others behave towards him. I mean Pariston is a person , that has never hated anyone else in his life. This reminds me of something Gon said at the start of the series, when Kurapika and Leorio fought on top of the boat. Something about: "If you really want to know a man, find out what makes him angry." Maybe Gings ability is like an aura of annoyance and if you lose your composure, he gets a read on you. Additionally angry people often make rash decisions, which makes the "prey" more predictable. It would be fun, if the concept is like "Worst first impression" If the dislike is a subconcious thing, you can't even rely on your gut feeling when you are confronting him, especially in combat or social settings.
@@lhommemystere3938 kind of makes sense though. (Haven’t watched the vid all the way through) Read somewhere that Ging’s nen is something related to future reading. I imagine that to be like a Tarot Reader, which would also makes sense because he made a game with literal cards to play with. So, being able to sense someone’s prosperity or essence by their emotion wouldnt be far fetched. And you can also see that Pariston and Ging doesn’t get along, and you can also see that Pariston does not show emotions when interacting with Ging
The “five people like Ging” Are probably Pariston, Netero himself, Don depending on how you count “in the world”, almost certainly Maha and either one or two others we haven’t seen yet.
Ging is what Gon could be if Gon was not simple minded. Think of Gon with that intelligence, and it was hinted that he was intelligent when he was Gon's age and we all know Gon ain't that smart. Gon is like Goku, battle smart but know common sense lol
Id say Goku is stupid, like, genuinely stupid. Gon however is a little bit of an idiot, a little gullible, a little naive, etc, etc and all that combined makes him seem dumber than he looks, in reality hes probably of average intelligence. When hes serious, as we saw in the chimera ant arc, he dumps most of these qualities so we can tell hes not actually stupid. Its just a bit of everyone along with his "innocent" demeanor and mask
@@latoyod.calmer9994 I certainly see your point, and agree to an extent, however sometimes Gon demonstrates such lacking IQ on some of his decisions that its hard to tell if his Genius hasn't kicked in or if he chooses to ignore it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A little off topic, but don't you think Ging is not attached to Gon at all for a reason? If he was, his visits to dark continent will have effect on Gon. To back this theory up, netero asked Beyond to only go there after he died. I am not sure if it has been already cracked, but whoever goes to dark continent brings back something that affects their loved ones.
Oh man...now I remember a theory said Nanika is from Dark Continent. His great grandfather(?) visited that area and maybe bring back something you never know and affected your family bloodline.
I don't think Ging is as loyal to the Hunter Association as everyone thinks. I believe he sees it as a means to an end, rather than the ends to the means that others see it as. For him there is no direct benefit to becoming a Triple Star Hunter. So, why would Ging be motivated to bother?
Personal theory, Netero's guanyin isn't manipulation or emission. It's an enhancer ability. The idea being that his praying is so epic that it causes opponents to see the goddess in his form, but really it's just him slapping bitches really hard
Gon is confirmed to be 11 when he takes the exam: he said he would turn 12 that year. Gon was as old as Ging when he passed the exam. Gon's age isn't inconsistent in the manga.
I truly appreciate your videos. Your thoughtful and witty analyses help fill the void i felt after finishing the hxh anime for the 2nd time. First time was 7 years ago, waiting each week for the new ep of the chimera ant arc; second time was about a month ago when the dub was released on netflix. From the beginning it was always one of my favourites, but now its my most favorite piece of media. Im not a manga reader (which i really have to change) so wikis and your channel are my best sources for hxh content. If possible please do in-depth recaps/summaries of each hxh chapter, particularly 339 to present. Togashi is a mad genius. His hatsu is to create a beloved series, though his restriction is hiatuses plaguing development (sigh). Keep up the amazing work!
Seems that in terms of personality Ging is somehow a HxH representation of what Yusuke in Yuyu Hakusho would be as an adult with an astonishingly higher level of knowledge and culture.
I feel that when wing gives the explanation of what your born with and that your nen ability can change later in life was a foreshadowing teaser for Ging who is now a specialist due to his mastery of nen regardless of his natural born affinity. New subscriber said 12 🤦🏼♂️
We already know that nen types can be passed down genetically so I always assumed that Ging was just an enhancer but now that I'm thinking about it, he could really be anything
It's worth noting, at least to me, that ging has worked hard to more fully embody the characteristics of the boar for netero. It was definitely appropriate for his core mannerisms, but ALL of the zodiacs have attempted to fully embody their signs because of their love and respect for netero.
Yo a video idea for you: What is your nen affinity by Hisoka personality Test & what would be your Hatsu and the other Jazz ps appreciate the awesome content
Interesting note; Ging’s hat coloring and it’s similarity to meruem’s head as well as Gon and Ging’s names being easily interpreted as something like “going, going…gone”
What i love about hunterxhunter is that powerscaling doesnt matter. It was stated that gin was top 5 best nen user its not stated as strongest since you cant really scale something like that since fight varies in each situation and their match up
I would say that considering his very independent personality. He fits with materializer as his main skill (materializers can also use emitter skills if they train emission). But like Kurapika he may also be specialist. If he has a condition, isn't yet known. Maybe the result of that condition is that he can copy abilities, bypassing his nen trait. Materializers tend to be very individualistic. The kind of thing Ging did to gon is very similar to what Kurapika does to everyone in the manga. Kurapika always barely says goodbye before leaving, would do anything to stay away from others, and no matter how big the threat, he always prefers to go lone wolf, this trait also made him initially unpopular in the nostrade family for acting on his own. something ging is. But that's exactly why Ging is hated so much in the community, He does whatever he pleases, and does it his own way.
Imagine how strong Chrollo was because he could stole people abilities. Ang Here GING he doesn't need to stole it, he just need to COPY it without restrictions like Chrollos ability has. And that's not even his own abilities. Just his usual genius
Your channel is the best. Every video. Every time one comes up I watch it immediately. Thank you for taking a series so near and dear to my heart and extending what little there is of it.... one day we will see Ging and Pariston get eaten by dinos. ... one day
There is that possibility, It's also known that in HxH revealing all your cards can result in defeat. So Ging probably doesn't use his real skills to hide them
I reckon he'll have something to Pandora's Box based on the Crazy Slots he taught Kite and his goal for the pandora's box. Perhaps an ability with entirely random outcomes and inputs that he has to figure out how to use to his advantage you know
my question is, why does nobody remember or talk about hisokas childhood, nobody knows how strong he was or what he did or what happend to him, since he looks like the joker now..
I rewatched the anime and I believe it was stated morel was a 1 star sea hunter and would be promoted to a 3 star hunter due to his actions against the ants.
I just finished the anime this morning. And holy jeez I wanna experience dark continent so badly! I also wanna see what Kurapika was doin with the scarlet eyes. How far does the manga go until the current hiatus because this arc seems fantastic.
Not that much further from where you left off. I read that years ago. From what I do recall, the group he's with are dealing with the protecting of a bunch of princes or something like that.
One of the five top nen users means every one of them belongs to a category and since ging can copy physical attacks it's most likely that he is an enhancer or a spécialist based on his personality
I wanna say something that isn’t really dealing with the topic of this video but I hope New World sees this, whenever he talks about Jujanken’s simplicity and how it’s not versatile. But it’s super effective in combat, especially when he can use faints, it gives Gon a psychological advantage.
What I would give to watch you pick Togashis brain about the series you are easily the most articulate anime content creator I feel like you make expert level evaluations of the characters and the series I can’t wait for more content with the series continuing keep up the good work Bro
I think that Ging is either an Enhancer who basically took all the lessons from Bisky to heart (don't know who taught whom anything), elevating his Nen to unforeseen heights where he basically learned to be great at all types, or he's a Specialist and he's basically the king of Nen Analysis.
My ging theory is that he made a rule similar to kurapika that he must always be chasing a dream of his and it allows him to be an expert at all nen categories
thats actually a really good idea especially for someone that is said to be intelligent like ging. He knows settling down or having a family is the most important thing ever so it's kind of perfect if his power comes because he is forced to abstain from that...
10 facts about ging: 1. Left gon on whale island 2. Left gon to be a hunter 3. Left gon to join the zodiacs 4. Left gon and his wife 5. Left gon 6. Left gon 7. Left gon 8. Left gon 9. Left gon 10. Acted like a dad at the end finally

@@lhommemystere3938 kind of makes sense though. (Haven’t watched the vid all the way through) Read somewhere that Ging’s nen is something related to future reading. I imagine that to be like a Tarot Reader, which would also makes sense because he made a game with literal cards to play with. So, being able to sense someone’s prosperity or essence by their emotion wouldnt be far fetched. And you can also see that Pariston and Ging doesn’t get along, and you can also see that Pariston does not show emotions when interacting with Ging
I love how u keep doing hxh content mannnn
The “five people like Ging” Are probably Pariston, Netero himself, Don depending on how you count “in the world”, almost certainly Maha and either one or two others we haven’t seen yet.
Ging is like Shanks
They both leave the Main Character alone to do their own stuff. And both Mysterious and Powerful, High in Ranking.
Ging is what Gon could be if Gon was not simple minded. Think of Gon with that intelligence, and it was hinted that he was intelligent when he was Gon's age and we all know Gon ain't that smart. Gon is like Goku, battle smart but know common sense lol
I wouldn’t put Gon on the same level of stupidity as goku
That why gon has semester worth of homework that should help boost his intelligence
@@ghrtfhfgdfnfg
innocence yes but intelligence no
Id say Goku is stupid, like, genuinely stupid. Gon however is a little bit of an idiot, a little gullible, a little naive, etc, etc and all that combined makes him seem dumber than he looks, in reality hes probably of average intelligence. When hes serious, as we saw in the chimera ant arc, he dumps most of these qualities so we can tell hes not actually stupid. Its just a bit of everyone along with his "innocent" demeanor and mask
@@latoyod.calmer9994 I certainly see your point, and agree to an extent, however sometimes Gon demonstrates such lacking IQ on some of his decisions that its hard to tell if his Genius hasn't kicked in or if he chooses to ignore it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A little off topic, but don't you think Ging is not attached to Gon at all for a reason? If he was, his visits to dark continent will have effect on Gon. To back this theory up, netero asked Beyond to only go there after he died.
I am not sure if it has been already cracked, but whoever goes to dark continent brings back something that affects their loved ones.
maybe thats what happened to his mom and the only reason he hasn't gone back because his son and aunt mito.
Oh man...now I remember a theory said Nanika is from Dark Continent. His great grandfather(?) visited that area and maybe bring back something you never know and affected your family bloodline.
@@busubalang2361 nanika is in fact from dark continent, I believe that was revealed. I guess we will never know what lies there
I don't think Ging is as loyal to the Hunter Association as everyone thinks. I believe he sees it as a means to an end, rather than the ends to the means that others see it as. For him there is no direct benefit to becoming a Triple Star Hunter. So, why would Ging be motivated to bother?
He's the kind of guy who would leave his son in adoption to get to his own goals. I don't think Ging would do anything for anyone except Ging.
@@yusukeelric Well yeah and becoming a Hunter happens to be one of those things, he explains it to Gon, he needed the license for something bigger
I love the comments of editor-kun, he's doing a fine job!
Thank you :D
I always though liam was the editor oops
@@silverswish100 I have to agree with Crayflake, well done :D
@@silverswish100 yea man you do a great job! Keep up the great work please and thank you!
@@Rammbob Thank you so much :D
Personal theory, Netero's guanyin isn't manipulation or emission. It's an enhancer ability. The idea being that his praying is so epic that it causes opponents to see the goddess in his form, but really it's just him slapping bitches really hard
Gon is confirmed to be 11 when he takes the exam: he said he would turn 12 that year. Gon was as old as Ging when he passed the exam. Gon's age isn't inconsistent in the manga.
But he said he was 12 on the hunter exam wtf
@@Dablooner likely just inconsistent error
@@Ghost1170 so gons age is inconsistent
@@Dablooner no in the manga he said he would tun 12 that year, so he was 11.
Yeah... In the manga he says "almost 12" instead of 12... I don't know why they changed that in the anime...
I truly appreciate your videos. Your thoughtful and witty analyses help fill the void i felt after finishing the hxh anime for the 2nd time. First time was 7 years ago, waiting each week for the new ep of the chimera ant arc; second time was about a month ago when the dub was released on netflix. From the beginning it was always one of my favourites, but now its my most favorite piece of media. Im not a manga reader (which i really have to change) so wikis and your channel are my best sources for hxh content. If possible please do in-depth recaps/summaries of each hxh chapter, particularly 339 to present. Togashi is a mad genius. His hatsu is to create a beloved series, though his restriction is hiatuses plaguing development (sigh). Keep up the amazing work!
You are single handedly keeping hunter x hunter alive thank you
Seems that in terms of personality Ging is somehow a HxH representation of what Yusuke in Yuyu Hakusho would be as an adult with an astonishingly higher level of knowledge and culture.
Not to mention physically he takes after Yusuke
I feel that when wing gives the explanation of what your born with and that your nen ability can change later in life was a foreshadowing teaser for Ging who is now a specialist due to his mastery of nen regardless of his natural born affinity. New subscriber said 12 🤦🏼♂️
That actually makes a lot of sense; thanks for bringing it up
Don't forget that hisoka's bungee gum possesses both the quality of rubber and gum
We already know that nen types can be passed down genetically so I always assumed that Ging was just an enhancer but now that I'm thinking about it, he could really be anything
he's a specialist
@@cornycornrows6090 Maybe
It's worth noting, at least to me, that ging has worked hard to more fully embody the characteristics of the boar for netero. It was definitely appropriate for his core mannerisms, but ALL of the zodiacs have attempted to fully embody their signs because of their love and respect for netero.
Could be, but consider Ging is very individualistic. Whatever he does, he does it for himself. So i think he was already lazy from the get go.
Ging can potentially be one of the most epic characters ever known to anime/manga… togashi, don’t fail us.
Yo a video idea for you: What is your nen affinity by Hisoka personality Test & what would be your Hatsu and the other Jazz ps appreciate the awesome content
Gon mom must've been an amazonian goddess because there's no way adult gon look the way he is thanks to ging midget genes
BRO IM FUCKING ROLLING 😂😂
Interesting note; Ging’s hat coloring and it’s similarity to meruem’s head as well as Gon and Ging’s names being easily interpreted as something like “going, going…gone”
Also kyte is piccolo 😂
What i love about hunterxhunter is that powerscaling doesnt matter. It was stated that gin was top 5 best nen user its not stated as strongest since you cant really scale something like that since fight varies in each situation and their match up
We are overlooking a simple test to Ging's ability, can he reproduce bungee gum, after all, it produces the properties of both rubber and gum!
Dude Im new to your channel but ive been binging all of your videos, I love them! Your content is amazing, well done.
The immediate shade!!! "He decided to name his son after his parenting style. Both of which are, of course, gone/Gon." I hollered at that!!!
I would say that considering his very independent personality. He fits with materializer as his main skill (materializers can also use emitter skills if they train emission). But like Kurapika he may also be specialist. If he has a condition, isn't yet known. Maybe the result of that condition is that he can copy abilities, bypassing his nen trait.
Materializers tend to be very individualistic. The kind of thing Ging did to gon is very similar to what Kurapika does to everyone in the manga. Kurapika always barely says goodbye before leaving, would do anything to stay away from others, and no matter how big the threat, he always prefers to go lone wolf, this trait also made him initially unpopular in the nostrade family for acting on his own. something ging is. But that's exactly why Ging is hated so much in the community, He does whatever he pleases, and does it his own way.
I find ging being one of the most mysterious, smart and cool character in hunter x hunter
Boy, since finding out HXH will be resuming new episodes, been getting all kinda news feed with old HXH subs
Imagine how strong Chrollo was because he could stole people abilities. Ang Here GING he doesn't need to stole it, he just need to COPY it without restrictions like Chrollos ability has. And that's not even his own abilities. Just his usual genius
Didn't he can only copy base nen abilities?
@@halloweenjack95 who?
Your channel is the best. Every video. Every time one comes up I watch it immediately. Thank you for taking a series so near and dear to my heart and extending what little there is of it.... one day we will see Ging and Pariston get eaten by dinos. ... one day
Fact 11 : Ging doesn't know that Bungee Gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum.
I bet Ging doesn't have any of his own Nen techniques because he was too lazy to create any.
There is that possibility, It's also known that in HxH revealing all your cards can result in defeat. So Ging probably doesn't use his real skills to hide them
I reckon he'll have something to Pandora's Box based on the Crazy Slots he taught Kite and his goal for the pandora's box. Perhaps an ability with entirely random outcomes and inputs that he has to figure out how to use to his advantage you know
my question is, why does nobody remember or talk about hisokas childhood, nobody knows how strong he was or what he did or what happend to him, since he looks like the joker now..
You get hisokas background story and how he learned nen in the manga.
@@East89 nah the circus stuff isnt canon
Did hisokas dad cut a smile into his face? I think i read tht in the manga
@Drop Topp I’ve never read it but I’m 90% sure your confusing that with the actual joker
@@williamhardin3214 yea, that’s one of the Heath ledger stories about it
Bless Editor-kun
Editor-kun deserves a raise
Thank You :D
I really thought morel was given his second star when Shute and knuckle got a star and was made 3-star after his performance against the ants
Shoot and Knuckle didn't get a star.
@@AndrewManook apparently so, but I know for a fact the Morel was a 2-star and at least being considered for a 3-star rank
I rewatched the anime and I believe it was stated morel was a 1 star sea hunter and would be promoted to a 3 star hunter due to his actions against the ants.
@@hunteranderson1046 thank you so much for clearing it up I was a little confused it seems!
Ging and Pariston is what I'm looking forward the most. It's so freaking exciting, the mind games!
I just finished the anime this morning. And holy jeez I wanna experience dark continent so badly! I also wanna see what Kurapika was doin with the scarlet eyes. How far does the manga go until the current hiatus because this arc seems fantastic.
Welcome to HXH fan base and we all want next manga arc or episode but togashi is bored and not interested we can only hope for him to continue
@@ARick_499 it’s Lee’s of he’s bored it more of his health, cuz isn’t his back messed up from writing?
Not that much further from where you left off. I read that years ago. From what I do recall, the group he's with are dealing with the protecting of a bunch of princes or something like that.
One of the five top nen users means every one of them belongs to a category and since ging can copy physical attacks it's most likely that he is an enhancer or a spécialist based on his personality
You are a goat. Still making content 🖤
You have captured me my friend. I am now apart of your fleet
I really want to see how strong he is since he's considered the strongest hunter . Or one of them
He's definitely one of the strongest Characters of the series and one of the best nen users as well.
The last time I was this early gon was still trying to catch a big fish
Sometimes I unsubscribe just to play the game in the beginning. Just to see how long it would take to subscribe again
you absolute menace
Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE damn. You made me cry out of happiness
4:08 Year of the Tiger, let's go!
2011 version Ging is just yuske urameshi grown up :P
I am waiting for forth prince's ability explanation ....great video 😀
Togashi is basically Ging right now while we are the skin and bones Gon.
Essentially, he has the ideal version of Chrollo's ability. Happy ending, with both having their abilities.
This list should be called : Top 10 Facts you know about Ging.
To be honest i feel kinda cheated.
Duck continent gonna be lit
“Fun fact number third” made me laugh 😂
Man I just can't get enough of your videos
3:30 yeah kinda like me and my second diploma. i never went to pick it up. it's been waiting for me there for over 10 years now
RUclipsr 'Hunter x Hunter Theory' has probably succesfully figured out Gings actual Hatsu. Go look.
"Name his son after his parenting style: Gon(e)" Daaaaaaaaamnnnnn And it's not even a minute in.
I wanna say something that isn’t really dealing with the topic of this video but I hope New World sees this, whenever he talks about Jujanken’s simplicity and how it’s not versatile. But it’s super effective in combat, especially when he can use faints, it gives Gon a psychological advantage.
What I would give to watch you pick Togashis brain about the series you are easily the most articulate anime content creator I feel like you make expert level evaluations of the characters and the series I can’t wait for more content with the series continuing keep up the good work Bro
I think that Ging is either an Enhancer who basically took all the lessons from Bisky to heart (don't know who taught whom anything), elevating his Nen to unforeseen heights where he basically learned to be great at all types, or he's a Specialist and he's basically the king of Nen Analysis.
Was rewatching this on Netflix and they are telling Ging was a very-famous-yet-no-one-saw-him hunter
My ging theory is that he made a rule similar to kurapika that he must always be chasing a dream of his and it allows him to be an expert at all nen categories
thats actually a really good idea especially for someone that is said to be intelligent like ging. He knows settling down or having a family is the most important thing ever so it's kind of perfect if his power comes because he is forced to abstain from that...
what if ging ability works kinda like accelerator from ‘Toaru’, which allows him to copy abilities and do even more
i always pictured ging as a conjurer
Nice touch with the middle finger 🤣😭
10 facts about ging:
1. Left gon on whale island
2. Left gon to be a hunter
3. Left gon to join the zodiacs
4. Left gon and his wife
5. Left gon
6. Left gon
7. Left gon
8. Left gon
9. Left gon
10. Acted like a dad at the end finally

00:20 what a way to start the video
I only just finished the anime and I’m already loving your videos and very intrigued by the meta lore
“He named his child after his parenting style gon” I’m subscribing just for that
Dont let this make you forget that bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum
the pun where he named gon after his parenting style got me good Ngl
Subscribed for the parenting style joke. Pure gold
I got real depressed when you were talking about pariston. I wanna know more about him
There are not enough words that can accurately describe how much I love the character of Ging 🥺
“ all hail Ging the magical mighty sheep pig” 😭😩🤣🤣🤣 4:44
You know your ability is cool and powerful when ging decides he likes them and wants try and replicate them
