Out of Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio... Gon was the only one who didn't understand the pain of loss until Kite had died.
your name lives up to the legends
Facts but honestly it didn’t need to happen if Kite had told him before had he can come back 😂😭 So Gon lost kinda did all that for nun if u think on it which ig was the lesson Gin was tryna teach him before hand but I still don’t understand why it wasn’t told to them before hand given how bad ass the ability is
Who did killua loose
@iskasaciid5352 The closest thing I can think of is Killua having to live like his little sister didn't exist or living with the inability to free the person he loved the most.
Nice thought, though this would go to show how mentally unprepared gon was to follow his fayhers path
Simplicity, negative development (or w/e the proper writing term is) aren’t bad things for a character when done right. Gon is alot more subtle and nuanced in his development as a character than most ppl are willing to give him.
Thank God someone is finally giving credit to the writing behind gon I hate that people think he's just a copy of shonen mcs
I agree, I think the chimera ant arc is the best!
“Unfortunately religious” why such shade 5:54
If Naruto is anime Jesus gon is anime Lucifer. Lucifer wasn't evil he just loved so much he turned dark which when you look at gon go from happy boy fishing and wanting to make friends to roid monster beating on a corpse makes sense
22:17
I think kite could have beat the royal guard he fought if it wasn’t for Gon getting in the way to begin with
Any arc is defiantly the best arc anyone who disagrees. . . Idk what to tell you. They must have not watched it 🤷♂️
One of the tings I liked about the Chimera Ant Arc is that shows Meruem acts more like a sane and civilized person, while Gon and Netero act inhumane and monster like.
Meruem the monster, learns to be human. Gon the human, becomes a monster
That was the theme of the that arc Netero becomes a monster an embodiment of malice to save the human race and meruem sit down for a civilized chat, gon goes in to total destruction route where pitou give its life to save the king the human show there true innate nature whereas the monster shows there truest side.
@@daiblo.dshadowdon't act like pitou is good at all mereum maybe but pitou was a complete monster
@@swaydemon7988 hence why he mentioned Meruem.
@@swaydemon7988I mean, maybe not to the standards that we hold as humans, but she executed her duties as a royal guard to a T, better than Shaiapouf (who wanted to go behind Meruem’s back and kill Komugi) and Youpi who showed a teeny bit of Mercy in one or two instance based on respect for the way the invading humans fought with everything they had when he could have killed some characters. The chimera ant society and morality system is different from human society and moral system. If anything, this arc showed both systems and positives and negatives, times when it’s people acted “good” and “evil,” but sometimes morality and society come down to a matter of perspective. As humans we have been raised in ways for centuries that make us act and think as we do today (with some variations among different groups), but the chimera ants have lived a different way for years and years and probably had to I order to adapt and survive their unique circumstances.
Anybody notice within each Arc, Gon either breaks or loses one of hands?
And kite loses his arm too
And the degree of damage to his arm increases each ark
@katleholenkoane4364 damn that next ark is gonna be crazy
Yeah it's well documented acc. Not something I figured out on my own tho
That last part actually hits. "He's not one note, you just can't read the sheet music."

@NumberTobi ion know
I always resonated with Killua more. So I saw Gon as the friend you think you want, but not the one you need. Killua latched onto Gon to have direction and they are happy for a bit. Killua covers for Gon and protects him through Heaven's Arena. Helping Gon in Yorknew gets Killua into trouble even he isn't strong enough to handle. Then in Greed Island, Killua becomes so used to helping Gon do what he wants that it comes at the detriment of his own health. He ruins his hands to help Gon. Gon nearly killing himself to beat the Bomber shows how he could easily die, which would be a massive trauma for Killua. In the Chimera Ant arc, Killua sees he can't protect Gon, cannot get Gon to stop, and then lets go of Gon after ensuring Gon will survive. To me, it is a story of Killua realising that he needs to take care of himself and find things for himself separate from others.
But what do I know? Gon always creeped me out. He would like you even if you were a murderer, so long as you were nice or useful. Going after Hisoka to get revenge for that punch showed how easily he gets obsessed, and nothing would stop him from doing it. After the Hunter Exam, I knew Gon is the last person you ever want to get on the wrong side of.
Wow never seen it like this! Great perspective
Gon would make a dope villain.
He could very well be in the future @@justifano7046
Gon has the vibes of a villian at the beginning stages of their development, kind of the opposite of killua. I always felt we'd see them full switch up by the time they reuinite, gon will be a cold blooded killer (he kinda already is) and killua will be more in line with the typical shonen protagonist.
exactly, that's what i always say, during chimeras arc, Gon failed as a MC and Kirua became the MC and the next arc really solidify that stance.
Yea, it’s a pretty nice change tbh… btw genuine question, what’s with the them/they’s?
@@dzpakBecause referring to multiple people with pronouns is convenient.
sorry i didn't realise your first "them" referred to both Gon and Killua... i thought it was a new thing ppl are doing, and i'm just getting older and older
@@tristanalain9239
Honestly I just see Gon as a kid who threw a temper tantrum. And there was no one there to stop him. Because once he is healed he doesn't seem to have a bad view point of the world at least as far as I have seen.
I love how you explained Gon as a MC. He isn't your typical MC who gets stronger when a dire situation occurs. He Is what every child has to go through, growing up in the real world
I mean so far I still think he still fits the trope mostly. He does get strong enough for basically all obstacles each time. Now yes there are times when he is cleared out of his league but that happens with every MC in an Shonen show. Every character faces crazy odds at some point and they lose but they come back stronger. Gon mainly took Ls to Hisoka. But it seemed like they were building for more but the story still isn't over.
Ahhh the Chimera Ant Arc
Where humans became monsters and monsters became human
Ironically he was always strong enough to get in involved but never strong enough to help
I cant believe some People odnt get
how Gons Adult-Transformation, his big Power-Up works.
I love this breakdown. Gon losing himself at the end was a perfect silhouette to his bright and optimistic counterpart at the start of the anime. I like the fact that hes written so differently from the typical shonen protagonist.
I also agree that the Chimera ant arc is the best arc of the anime. Id like if you could do a killua breakdown as well because his character development I also find interesting as his personality changes the more Gon loses that innocence and he comes to the realization that hes losing his friend slowly.
Quick question what makes him so different though then let's say Naruto? Naruto loses his cool many times and lets the nine talks out. Most of those rampages were solely emotional responses. I view Gons fight with Pitou to be right on brand. He has to end Pitou because of what he did to his friend. Naruto did the same to Pain. Ichigo gave up all his soul reaper powers to try and beat Aizen. To me is isn't that different
@@jacobhayes8324 Gon is different because how the story is written, his downward spiral is fairly obvious whereas Naruto and the others isnt. Naruto was born as an orphan and quickly understood how dark the world was. His story is more of a redemption-and-overcome-story by never giving up and fighting for what he believed in. Thats typical for most shonen MCs.
Gon on the other hand starts off innocent and optimistic and slowly loses himself as he comes to understand his own weakness and inadequacies more and more. In the end, he still defeats his enemy but it cost him everything to the point where i question if it was even worth it to begin with. Its almost sad
"losing his friend slowly" damn. this is so sad. but I have so much love for hxh. honestly I think shinobu and gon have a lot in common. The only difference is that shinobu actually lost those she cared about, meanwhile gon never had them.
u ramble so bad
This is a really good analysis and I love the breakdown. One thing I'd like to add though is I feel Gon himself probably believes himself to be innocent, but right out of the gate his view of the world is a bit twisted. Sure, he hates evil people who hurt and kill others, but in certain circumstances this doesn't bother him. A really interesting thing I realized about Gon: he doesn't care about people's pasts too much and only judges people by his interactions with them and their interactions with his friends.
Gon hates the Phantom Troupe, sure, and the large amounts of killing they do is part of that, but I think the bigger reason is because of their effect on his friend, Kurapika. Gon's best friend is also Killua, who's killed a lot of people as well, but was completely unphased by learning he's an assassin, and thought it was super cool when he ripped the prisoner's heart out in the Hunter Exam. Gon also takes a quick liking to Razor as well, even after hearing he was a death row inmate for murder (though perhaps being friends with Ging had an influence). There's of course Hisoka, who isn't exactly Gon's friend and Gon hasn't really had positive interactions with him, but he views him as a goal to surpass some day. He's wary of Hisoka, but doesn't see him as evil, even despite going after his friends, as he was the most willing to team up with him when they needed extra help for the volleyball match, even though Gon should know Hisoka has definitely killed people before. Gon is also, if I recall correctly, pretty indifferent to people dying during the Hunter Exam, but does his best to protect his friends from meeting a similar fate. He doesn't like killing or people dying, but if you're outside the circle of people he cares about, it's little concern to him.
Chimera Ant is where Gon's morality is the most interesting because during the stripping of his innocence, his moral compass doesn't actually change too much. He joins the mission to stop the Chimera Ants, but he does so to get Kite back, rather than to stop a global threat. During the raid, his sole focus is finding and eventually getting revenge on Pitou. The crack in his moral compass is when he threatens to kill Komugi to get what he wanted from Pitou. At this point he was willing to do anything to get Kite back, no matter what it took, tying into his loss of innocence. I overall agree that the events of Hunter x Hunter steadily chip away at Gon's innocence, resulting in what he becomes at the end of the Chimera Ant arc, I just also think Gon's "innocence", his naïve view of the world and how he ignores people's pasts, good or bad, shows that some part of the way he thinks was warped to begin with.
Gon is a kid. Kids don't think deeply. Their view is very egocentric. They dislike anything that stops them for doing what they want, being around what/who they want or hurts who they like. But there is less mercy with kids because they are more black or white with things.
I’ve seen a few people make these same points about Gon’s “warped innocence”. I wonder if this is because Gon is a main character in anime who is a kid and actually acts like it. When we have an important character in anime who is young, they always seem to be very adult like in their decision making and overall character (look at Killua). Gon does have a naive view of the world, because he is a kid who was introduced to the dark parts of the world at 12, and unlike Killua, he just wasn’t able to handle it.
I’m not disagreeing with you or knocking your analysis, I think it’s fantastic. Just wanted to give my thoughts on what I think is the reason for that viewpoint.
@@cake7337 I agree with this. I don't want to say people are wrong about their analysis. But I feel like people are always psychoanalyzing characters and its probably not that deep lol. Gon is a child and really acts like it. Most kids live in a black and white world and that's Gon. He is stubborn and only cares about what he wants and if what you want doesn't align it frustrates him.
I recently rewatched Hunter X Hunter from the start to the end of Greed Island specifically examining Gon as a character. One of the most recurring issues with Gon was that any breach of his concept of "fairness" deeply infuriates him. The earliest example being his quasi-battle with Hisoka during the Hunter Exam, even though Gon failed Hisoka would give him his victory anyways. After his defeat Gon immediately went to help Leorio to clear his - much easier - exam trial because it was the only thing he could do at the moment to dampen some of that frustration he was stewing in.
He was driven to fury by the Zoldycks "testing" Killua's friends before they could see him, more than the whole assassination business thing. He hated not being meaningfully included in Kurapika's war against the Phantom Troupe, despite really not being all that useful objectively and an active hindrance at some points. Then he went to Greed Island, where he was probably most infuriated by the idea that the other players weren't experiencing the game properly.
The actual breaking point for Gun was the idea of Kite dying due to his weakness. People criticize that Togashi - kinda-sorta- brought Kite back at the end of the arc, but the emotional ramifications of Kite's death wasn't about what he as a character meant to Gon but rather Gon inability to come to terms with his role in his death fundamentally poisoned his mindset thereafter. It was always about Gon fundamentally.
To me one thing people never really factor in is that Gon is a child. Children are not mature and can't handle emotions very well. Their perspective is very short sighted and Gons more than most because all he has done is simply live in practical seclusion and nature. Gon is a good example of what happens when a kid has powers with minimal guidance and gets mad. Yes he went though something terrible but as a child he lacks that maturity for anything else but lashing out.
Gon didn’t get mad at the phantom troupe because they hurt people. He was mad because they hurt his friends (Kurapika). He doesn’t care about people doing bad things. For example, he was kind to the scissors guy in Greed Island even though he was a serial killer because he helped him and Killua.
That's a child for you. They only worry about what is involved in their own world. Anything else is just in the way or doesn't matter.
Gon withstood a 3 hour ass whooping from a Ninja. Respect.
yeah he didnt poop that whole time. dont think theres something wrong with him??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? im serious no one can go without pooping for that long. also stop talking about onions im sick of it
the opening to this video was beautiful, honestly. I think that you did a really good job of explaining how people (whether they realize it or not) can be drawn to characters in media that resonate with them/their own personality!
Gon is so interesting cuz all the other main characters are more dark or realistic but they highlight truths of humanity. Kurapkia with the price of revenge and anger. Killua with his assassin origins and battle for agency. And leorio with his relatively simple goal of being a doctor but the grand idea to help everyone is willing to accept the risk if reaching that goal is a possibility. Gon is an innocent boy, while gift, is still just a boy. He doesn't understand what consequences are and how to deal with them. It's why we see him be selfish and later on lash out cuz all of this is new for him where as everyone else had a head start on the cruelty of their world.
I agree. That's why I just don't view Gon as this super complex character. He to me just seems like every other Shonen character, just able to not have anyone stop their tantrums.
most shone mcs are not realistic at all. they're kids but don't act like kids lmao
After Gon had met his dad Ging, his cousin Mito made him do 2 years worth of school work. 😂
Boooooooyyyyy you COOKED with this one! My goodness. This goes up there only to be surpassed by your Meruem post
Did you know that Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum?
why did you comment 12 times 💀 one is enough
I think the most alluring part of shounen MCs is their ambition. They all tend to have the same trait of an ambitious dream to become the best at what they do, which is something we can all relate to. While my goal may not be to become hokage or wizard king, i can relate to working hard to become good at what i do, and admire their ambition to truly become the best at their craft, a feat that most people will give up on at some point in favor of a more “realistic” goal. They never gave up on that ambitous dream and actually achieved it through blood sweat and tears
Gon's character development could be summarised in 2 sentences.
Gon didn't develop as a character. Until he did.
Gon is the best character in hxh and his story arc just reached it's midel point the thing is a don't think we will ever see his arc fully developed because of togashi health
Watched HunterXHunter after Naruto and One Piece. He’s the realist person as shonen mc. He’s starts like Naruto and Luffy, then the mental toll of his trails and tribulations culminates and retrospect is 20/20. It’s like watching Eren in AOT on rewatch knowing the monster he’ll become. On rewatch I had a similar eire feeling watching Gon, Greed Island where he sacrificed his arm was a huge turning point. I was shocked that he did that shit just cause. He’s not a psychopath, he’s a kid who is adapting to his surroundings. Everything post Kite he tosses his morality aside and becomes terrifying because he’s so unpredictable. Love his character.
I love Gon above all the Arc types MC. His innocence was tested but it persisted on the Chimera Arc. I'm so sad regarding what happened to Hunter X Hunter. And btw, Nick do a deep dive regarding Sasuke Sarutobi on the other channel, please. Thanks. 😊
Hunter x Hunter by far my favorite show/anime just perfect a simple story he told and how if you put yourself the reader as a 10-12 year old kid as Gon, you too would often make the same decisions or mistakes Gon does. We were all just children once in this big world and Hunter X Hunter shows humility at its best and its worst. I believe Togashi made that one character "Gon" to represent humans true nature and everyone else in the show are fiction characters/persuaders that one wants to be or lies in themselves.
This Video made me realize that despite knowing HxH was an inspiration for JJK, that Gon and Yuji are written a lot more similarly than I originally thought. Yuji and Gon are both very sunny, just generally speaking good kids, and while their calls to adventure are very different, the way they both represent a loss of innocence is very similar. Gon experiences this loss in a more subtle, gradual method while Yuji has his torn away brutally quickly. I’ve yet to see all of HxH, and the parts I did see were several years ago, this video definitely put it on the list to watch seriously
I'm pretty sure the writer of jjk is a HUGE hxh fan too! I've seen somewhere that someone poked fun at how much hxh manga and merch he had
Wait wait wait, hold up. People think the Chimera Ant arc is boring and the worst arc in HxH?! Wow, I am truly floored. I feel the Chimera Ant arc is unquestionably the best arc in the story. But what do I know
Gon is the result of when the MC didn't have the privileges of he's parents, he inherited nothing and most of he's powers are basically from he's hard work, this mirrors the reality that the world doesn't revolve around him
I have watch the video for the first 12 minutes and your descriptions of hunter x hunter is awful and characterization of Gon thing is purely wrong. Gon is not like Naruto with his friendship thing. He cares about his friends but it's not crazy enough to be like oh my God my friend did not pass the Hunter Exam what am I going to do? His issue was not with Killua not passing but with Illumi's hold on Killua and making his life miserable. Gon is very headstrong and bull headed type of person and then goes to Zoldyk family where he was never in too much danger as long as he is not trying to threat the Zoldyk family. You do not understand the Zoldyk family and that arc. They are actually far more into family life but their profession is assassins and they have high expectations of Killua but that does not mean they are going to just kill randomly for no reason especially if a person is a friend or a guest. Kikyo and others are very overprotective of Killua and they want him to become the best assassin so to them they don't want Killua to associate with people who will distract him from being a assassin. It's like a parent telling their child don't hang out with certain kids or spending too much time outside and not focusing on studies. In Killua's case it was to become the best assassin instead of studies. Gon to me is boring as oppose to me favoring Naruto as my favorite character from Naruto or Goku from DBZ is because Gon is very selfish and hypocritical and does not really have that great of a moral for me to support him. I like characters that are good and cares for others even with all the shit they been through like Naruto or Goku with his innocence and saving the World and doing the right thing but Gon is not like that. I liked Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho more than Gon because he had far better morals and doing right things but Gon just does whatever he wants. And to me more than Gon, Killua is far more better and a good person because the way he was raised was crazy and yet he wanted to quit being an assassin and do good things. It's a redemption thing for him as well as finding himself. Gon, not really. He lived a good peaceful life growing up and then he left the village to do his own things and throughout the journey he just did his own things and let others be with him. I liked his dream of finding his father not the greatest goal but it was okay but throughout the journey he was kind of disappointing. Killua and Kurapica were much much better. And this is from someone like me who likes characters like Goku, Naruto and Luffy as they are my favorite of the main characters, not Zorro or Vegeta and definitely not Sasuke who was a emo douchebag. But Gon is not like Goku, Naruto or Luffy. He is not that great of a character that you genuinely start rooting for and want to follow his adventures around and him succeeding in his goals. In Hunter x Hunter the show is far less based on Gon and what he and rather the world in Hunter X Hunter as oppose to in Naruto, One Piece, Bleach and DBZ, or Yu Yu Hakusho where we are more invested in the main characters and their journey and like the main characters more.
I started out trying to hate hunter hunter. I tried. Gon is far more complicated than any Mc I’ve ever really watched, far more intelligent as well. The way he communicates with villains he truly tries to understand them. He has principles he tries to protect and he has goals but some things don’t matter to him at all. He is a child but a child actually growing up. He’s realizing why he can’t remain a kid. . . And finally he realize that none of this is a game. . . It’s for keeps
Mostly all protagonist Evolves however Gon Devolves.
Wonder will gon return or its be gin this time
97th time..
can you talk about Katekyo Hitman Reborn
(when you watch)
Saying the Chimera ant arc is the worst arc in HxH is like saying the Chunin Exams is the worst arc in Naruto
Say Psych right now... How can there be that many people who didn't like HxH... Let alone anyone who thinks the chimera ant ark isn't the best...
This is why I don't interact with to many other anime fans, if they are that wrong, i don't have any interest in talking with them
I'd say he's exactly what you said my problem is mostly the fact that he sacrificed everything for pretty much a stranger I was okay for his anger and hatred but to literally forget his most close friend for his father's friend/student is just crazy to me sure he met him as a kid but he has like zer0 Memory of it 😶
Gon is a child. Children aren't mature. He responded as well as most kids will with no life experience or guidance.
@@jacobhayes8324 Yeah but even so he still had Guidance and when Killua was right there helping him through his tuff time he just ran away kids are often more observative so Gon should have known and felt Killua's Fear and Sadness towards him that he was Consoling Gon and Gon should've felt that cuz kids feel the emotions around them more than anything else
@@dragonflyswataswata5135 if you don't mind me asking what guidance did Gon have? I mean he had the guy who exposed him to Nen. But that was just mainly about how to use Nen. Same with Bissy. As far as I can see Gon just had peers that gave consult but he has no supervision at all. Killua had a structured upbringing so he is different anyway. I don't disagree with what you said completely I just feel like Gon is the embodiment of youth, innocence and blissful ignorance.
@@jacobhayes8324 Aunt Mito-
@@zashgekido5616 I will agree she was his mother like figure but I am curious of her overall structure of his life. It seemed like Gon mainly just lived out in nature and did what he wanted. Not that he was a bad kid or anything. I mean he left the house at like 11 lol.
Problem for Gon is that Killua and Hisoka r GOATd anime characters. Killua is a far better character than Gon and in a lot of people minds should be the MC.
I've always thought that nen = life force so I've always thought that after hw goes rage mode that he depleted all his nen which it why he was in the hospital but when Aluka fixes him he goes back to normal and with a rejuvenated life force so with that logic wouldn't that mean that gon would just have to re learn nen or am I just in denial lol
Bro I like your channel a lot
But can u please stop comparing God and Jesus to this anime Character me as a believer gets mad at u and I just don’t want to stop watching you because of it
Wait... There is a large group out there who think the Chimera Ant arc is bad?
The arc up there with Mareinford (as an entire saga of arcs) as the greatest story in shonen manga, if not fiction in general? What the hell?
Bro really said that the ca arc is the best pasted but it took 25 episodes for 2 3 hours to pass in there world cmon man bro really waited 30 episodes to fight cat women
Can you analyse Chrollo Lucifer, I really genuinely want that, my request thanks.
I'm with you brother, I've wathched HxH 6 times, It just hits different on each watch through.
Off topic, I know, but you made me realize I'm so neutral about nearly every character in Bleach and yet still love the manga. I like Orihime, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Soi Fon, Mayuri, and then a couple of bad guys. I don't dislike any of the other characters or anything, just not super hyped about them.
On HxH, it's not an original idea for me to say Gon's character is the way it is either because A) it's a deconstruction and the point is to setup breaking Gon in the CA arc or B) Gon isn't the main character because there isn't a main "series" character. Instead, for any given arc(s), there's either no MC or it's Killua/Kurapika at the same time as Gon for the point of contrast. I mean, currently is Kurapika even the MC of the arc?
As far as development goes, I think you're spot on. You see all these changes from arc to arc, though for me I couldn't see it in earlier arcs until I saw it in CA. Then you see it was all foreshadowed and have that "ah ha" moment.
Hxh is probably my favorite series but Yusuke is my number one MC
Him - "I held onto my child like innocence"
Me - "wasn't he sponsored by a seggs toy company"
Love Hunter x Hunter, but I'm not sure I got why Kite's death affected Gon more than any other until I watched this video. The way you put it made a lot of sense. Also, I know it'll be a while even after the current hiatus, but the longwinded scheming and exposition of everything on the big ship in the manga has made me miss Gon and Killua so much.
The manga is not continuing
@@cngotham4111 Really? Well damn... :(
@@odistabettor yea it sucks
I like gon but he just couldn't compete with my love for killua😂
Remember gon was never became a monster he was born one. Gon is not human at all he born out of greed island of his father nen.
I loved Gon and I hate he’s not the main character. It really makes me not want to continue it because I don’t care a bit for Kurapika
So disappointing when someone says they don’t like Kurapika. What more can you ask for? He’s cute, mature, gentle, polite (though rude in funny moments), badass, and has a great storyline.
@@Hylean_Way I don’t really care if a MC is cute or not. I know Kurapika was first but anime characters with eye powers are just an overused trope so that’s not very interesting. And then his whole backstory is a classic revenge for dead clan trope. But Gon’s story through the show not so much his backstory but his growth was very substantial and his story gave us a lot of lessons of the world and how it can beat down even the most innocent of people. Kurapika was OP because of his nen contract straight from the beginning. But Gon was shown training and going through hardships to know what it means to be strong. And didn’t become OP until his battle with Pito and he made his contract. But that’s only for like 2 minutes and it cost him literally everything. (Sorry that was long). But Kurapika as a character is cool and his arcs were cool. But I personally don’t care about him enough to watch an entire show about him.

@@noonespecial1333 I know I like a character when not only I appreciate what I have seen, but when I WANT to see more of them. That’s when I know I love them, and Kurapika is just perfect for teasing you to want more. I WANT to see him train more than Gon, because he has a more heartbreaking and compelling reason for it. The way that Togashi teases these things before yanking the line just builds more excitement for him. I have to ask did you read the flashback chapter with him and Pairo? It’s inaccurate to say his story is just about revenge it’s more about his loneliness and whether he can replace the friendship he lost when Pairo died. It’s about finding happiness and having fun, and if it’s even possible when you are so full of regret, guilt, and depression.
When people ask why do you watch anime. I’m going to show them this video. The depth of lore and individual character development is unmatched in regular movies or tv.
Actually, it was nice with Gon and made sense with his character because Gon is extremely selfish and that was his characteristic. His personality is pure enhancement character. He is very selfish and does things his way without caring about whether it is good or bad. Actually in terms of morality and thinking about it, Kurapica, Killua and Leorio are much better but Gon from the beginning has been selfish.
I agree. He has been selfish all series.
Greed island was my favorite arc. I never read the manga but I may pick it up if I know it will actually move forward and not end in middle of arcs
In the manga kite was the one that Showed Gon his hunter's license and motivated him to become a hunter.
It'd be like in One Piece, if Luffy lost Shanks
I prefer Killua over Gon but my favorite MC in all anime is Eren of AoT
Your bias definitely is most of this video. I don’t think anything you said couldnt be applied to any other Mc. Like legitimately this is what’s happening in my hero.
Yeah I agree, But the differences in most of these animes, they revert back to Is there happy go lucky self, Right after they're Villain arc. With gon, The cracks stay. No matter how much sheer power he obtains it never mends the mental wound. I'm not saying the other characters just Completely get out of it scott free, But I feel like it's much more shown with gon
I feel like gon is relatable whilst meruem is kinda enviable.
It honestly felt like Gon is on the path to be the final villain that anger he has is present well before kite died I don’t think the power hisoka sees in him is a good thing anytime some he cares about get injured or he has a strong opponent he’s always willing to sacrifice everything
It's possible I guess. I also think it's lack of maturity. Gon unlike the others wasn't raised with much structure. He was kind able to just go do whatever he liked. Killua was strictly raised to be an assassin. Gon is like an animal. Not harmful until you mess with it or something it cares about. I think many Shonen characters are this way. They usually just have safe guards to reel them back in.
Nick in 1 day it's my 2 year anniversary watching content on your RUclips channel
I like Gon but I feel like Killua would make a more interesting mc
"I live a child like existence" that's why you're the weeb commander & why we love you 😁
Never thought about Gon like this... Kinda makes me sad... But once again thank you NChammer23 for helping me with a totally outside the box perspective of one of my favorite animes👍👍
With great timing i watched this as i took a shit. As he said about feeling powerless and trying to overcome I was pushing through a huge shit. His speech and Gon's story helped me overcome my constipation, i am now stronger than before, my assshole bigger but i will recover and i will preserve because i pushed that shit out of me like giving birth. Thanks bro
Can you do a video on all strenitter from bleach abilities?
F**k Gon! Im mad at him for what he did in the Chimera ant arch.
i think gon and by extension HXH as a whole are togashi deconstruction of typical shonen tropes and archtypes. how does a standard happy go lucky, goku-like character like gon suppose to view a world of grays? a world that is complex with no easy answers for either side?
like the boss said in MGS3, "today's good could be tomorrow's evil".
I feel like you're actually worthy of the title 'Weeb Commander'. 😮
Take a shot every time nick says “childlike innocence” 😂
Lol I love when u use out innuendos 😍😂 We understood what u meant about him being a top tho 🫢🤣
Solid character analysis for Gon. I notice some things that went above my initial run through such as his will to put others above himself.
Let's go
That he be my favorite main character to 2:27
...Not enough People remember the important Nen-Law that Aura naturally wants to stay in it's owners body so theres a Reduction in all Power and Efficiency the more it moves away. But even less dont seem to realize theres a giant Exception to this, which is the entire Type of Conjuration. Genthru and Kurapika are both absolutely unconcerned with Distance of their Victims and theres no way Togashi forgot something this big, so clearly, Conjured Things act as a sorta Battery.
This little realization is esepcailly all-important for those who wanna sell ther Nen
For it being you favorite media it is strange you cant even pronounce your favorite MC of all times signature attack. Jajaken :,D Also his name is Gon not Goun. Leorio was the one (abt to) battling Bodoro not Killua. Also the General Opinion of Chimera Ant is that it is the best Arc in Shonen history, i think you are mistaking something with what ppl say abt Greed Island. You know suprisingly little for someone who watched it 7+ times.
Gon showed signs forever. He doesn’t mind evil actions or people. He held no dislike for a serial killer, for instance.
DOG 2:21
You should let Danny do a video on your channel and do one on his. Just randomly out of no where.
9:19
Yo!!! That’s the plot of HxH slightly bigger fish going into larger and larger ponds and consequences of arrogance… HOLY MOLY it’s SO FKN GOOD!!!
I binge watched Hunter x Hunter over the last week since I watched an old video of yours where you said it was your favourite anime, which surprised me because I thought it'd be Naruto.
I really enjoyed it, loved Gon as an MC.
However, for me, the chimera ant arc really tanked my interest in the show and made it hard to continue binging, because it felt so incredibly slow until Meruem was introduced. The fights were always too long and somehow the show lost a lot of its charm for some reason.
Why do you think it's the best arc, hope my mind is gonna be changed haha
Did it change?
i think you perfectly described Gon and how i felt about him, and why i enjoyed his character so much. Killuwa will always be my favourite though, That heart stopping battle in the hunters exam blew my mind 😂
FUCKIN AGREED, BRO! HUG'S! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😍🥳🦍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🔥🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊❄️🌏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
wait Gon doesn't get his nen back wtf
Honestly I love how you described gon it’s exactly how I see him as a character his child like mindset was robbed from him by the cruel unbiased reality of the world and in order for him to compete with said reality he had to lose apart of himself the chimera ant arc was by far my favourite I’d tried to watch hxh years ago but couldn’t get into it but when I did it was peak fiction in my eyes
Even so he is still really weak and childish. His ENTIRE personality is protecting his friends/loved ones which is extremely cliche as almost EVERY SINGLE anime does this. He has very little if any character development and is a terrible mc not to mention how annoying his personality is
How about a video on Medeka Box.
😅 No offense Nick Can't say that you held onto THAT much of your "innocence" When you deliberately fantasized about Anime/Manga ♀️s especially Boa Hancock & perona from One Piece
Heck you fantasize about some guy too
Remember. Gon threatened a blind girl if Pitou had disobeyed him.
BISH READ THIS!
Stop learning jojo and go all in on hxh channel. Ive watched alot of your stuff and you really seem very pationate about hxh. It shows. This is definitely your best video.
I feel like Naruto and Gon are far more alike that this guys says. Countless times Naruto’s innocence was chipped away piece by piece until he snaps and lets kurama take over.
In all of Naruto (not shippuden) Naruto rarely bets powerful enough to win with overwhelming power. In fact it is this power than wins many of his fights.
Every time I watch Naruto I feel more like on the inside he is a depressed child that puts in this persona of a happy kid. He clings on to any possibility of happiness. Several episodes show him with a depressed look in his face when he is by himself. But when around other people he has that smile and chipper go attitude.
Buuut it could also be me projecting myself into the character…
Gon is cool and all, but he's got Nothing on Vin from Mistborn. I know it's a fantasy novel, but she's one of my favorite MCs of all time. Right up there with Anakin Skywalker
Killue didnt kill his opponent, he killed Leorios opponent.
Also Gon got pissed off at long nose homie from the phantom troupe while arm wrestling because he saw how sad he was to lose his friend (the wolverine lookalike Kurapika killed) and that's what made Gon mad. The fact that they can kill so many people but still have some compassion in them for others.
I only recently watched Hunter x Hunter for the first time based mostly on your heavy recommendation, and the fact that it was written by the same guy that did Yu Yu Hakusho which I love. I just didn't care for it; I like the power system and world building, but I just didn't care about a single one of the characters
Whether Gon is one-note or not I just don't find him interesting
Just want my opinion out there lol. Objectively I belive the best 3 archs are. York new city, Kamara ant, heavens arena. But my favorite is probably greed Island, Kamara ant and York new
3:12 I will still go back and just randomly put on ep 116. It's such a powerful episode and Gons VA puts on a master class of voice acting!
I thought I was the only one who loved Gon (my favorite M.C.) Too.
Gon is a sociopath and selfish as hell.
Remember when he let that Serial Killer Get Away or when he held Komugi as a Hostage?
