Hey man ! Love your videos and your voice. I don't know if you take request from your subscribers or not but I wanted to request you to do a video on Erwin Smith from Attack On Titan. That dude is an interesting character and I would love to see your take on this great Character. Thank you !
I love it too, but it's also pretty difficult to the watch the humanity slowly disappear from his eyes, then his actions. Made even more somber by the fact that he's a child.
My favorite HxH moments are two, and Gon calling Pitou out has one of them, thats where he suddenly threatens Pitou with killing Komugi with that blackened aura. The other is on the 99 version of Zeno telling Silva to go for it when he had Chrollo under attack and Silva jumps. Both moments are peak hype from HxH knocking My feels out. Though the moment i always put on repeat from Gon s rage towards Pitou, is (japanese audio) the dialogue when he's fisting the floor frustrated as phuck, pointing his raging finger and telling Pitou how unfair this shit was. there s something on the japanese voice and the feeling of anguish that always gets me, bigtime. But i'm more of a York New and Succession War bloke myself. Gon losing it and Netero dying after a stellar legendary fight couldnt make the entire arc that legendary for me, though Chimera Ant s really well done, but i could never feel a fanboy of it as many ppl. Idk, maybe i'm not wired to love it over the other two aformentioned.
The show shows that both had a bit of each other’s best and worse qualities. But what make them truly good friends is the fact the polarize each other. They become mediums of one another. And when the more mature into adulthood they together will be unstoppable forces and more importantly even stronger friends
The complexity of both of their characters is brilliant. To see Killua experience friendship for the first time and grow was amazing. Though it's sad that he's always looking at Gon's back and Gon is looking forward at his ambitions. The more apparent this was the more I began to think their relationship is unhealthy. I was afraid that one day Gon will again choose his desires over Killua, while Killua desperately held on to the only light he's known. What really worried me was that after Gon was healed and returned to his friends, everything went back to the way it was. Laughing, joking around. As if Gon didn't just UNRAVEL and cut Killua. As if nothing was wrong with what he did/turned into. There remains a fundamental flaw in his sense of justice, and he remains cold and unaffected by pain outside of his own. But I like how you mentioned that their separation in the end was necessary, for their good. So true, but I didn't realize it until you said it. Killua understands light now and can be a light, and Gon has much to learn of love and justice. Great character analysis!
Love this analysis but I disagree that everything just went back to normal. Gon clearly showed remorse for what he said/did to Killua (at least in the manga) and Killua most definitely held Gon accountable and made him apologize. Gon is genuinely kind-natured at heart but EXTREMELY stubborn and desperate to prove himself and sometimes that can overshadow his kindness. But he's still capable of being self-aware and realizing when he was wrong.
A massive theme throughout the Chimera Ant arc is that of the duality of humanity, and the simultaneous exploration of both the pair of warring sides (the Ants and the Humans) and the individual pair of protagonists ties so much of the arc together. Meruem's ascent to humanity, to live up to his namesake as "the light that illuminates all" both literally, by use of his En, and of course metaphorically through his release of any Ant-like ambitions, is often pointed at as the mirror to Gon's descent into the darkness of vengeance, anger, and hate. What isn't often looked at, I find, is the positive parallel between Meruem and Killua, as each of them betray their former darkness in search of meaning, purpose, and contentment with life. The English title for the the latter half of the arc's ending theme, "Hyouri Ittai" is literally "Two sides of the same coin", and I feel that the multiple layers of duality that meander in perfect tempo throughout the arc, from the international to the individual, from the dawn of Killua to the dusk of Gon, from the rise of Meruem to the fall of Netero, each of them bolsters every strength the show already possessed up to this point, delivering a monsoon of metaphor and storytelling that I'm grateful to have had the fortune to bear witness to. Tell your friends, watch Hunter x Hunter.
Sage, I don´t undestand what you make me feel when ever I see your videos. You see, you are being the voice of understanding that is teaching me how it is to be me and simultaneously you are helping me keep my mind in peace while I go through some dark times for me. I guess I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos and, well thank you.
"Sage... you are light. Sometimes you shine so brightly, I must look away. But even so, is it still OK if I watch your videos?" -You (davidcardenas2694)
I thought I was the only one thinking that. I mean where were all the other pro hunters? The fact that there were only 10 people, of which 1 was captured and transformed, 1 had a mental breakdown, 2 were chimera ants and 2 were children. Only 4 were mentally stable adults.
I don't cry too often when watching shows or movies, even if they are great. But when Killua broke down in front of Palm, I cried nearly as hard as Killua did. To me, the most emotional scene in HxH, and it really reflects the falling out that Gon and Killua went through.
Gon doesn't actually say 'Since this means nothing to you' What he actually said was 'since this is none of your business.' Which of course is a major difference, as Gon wasn't accusing Killua of not caring. What he was doing was ostracising him and telling him to stay out of it, and Killua then sees this as Gon no longer caring or needing him by his side. Great video though, I just feel this is an important thing to mention.
This was absolutely beautiful, and powerful. The words and clips not only clarified their relationship, they also conveyed feelings. I was bawling my eyes out for half of the episode, great fucking job man.
if there was ever a moment that i remember from Hunter X Hunter its the ending of the episode when pito tells gon that kite is dead I just remember the shock and the outro song playing as gon started crying to this day that outro is one of my favorites
My heart can’t take this. Whew. I think the events towards the end of HxH was so traumatic that I suppressed it so I ended up forgetting what happened.
I can never get enough of your videos dude ! You defo have a way of displaying both the characters in a way that allows them to be appreciated with their flaws as well. Keep on growing dude, forever subscribed ! :D
Ok Sage, this anime was emotional enough. And your hardcore down to earth narration just made it more emotional- We dont deserve anime as good as hxh 😥 Tbh I wish hxh would last as long as naruto did but with togashis condition, i don't see that happening
God I've just found you and these video essays are just amazing. I found you basically along with a few Naruto analyzers and you and swagkage are basically the comedy and tragedy masks of this scene. Your channel is *criminally* underrated. Never had an analysis make me feel more than the actual anime did. Absolutely amazing.
This video helps me to relax and calm down and try to control my emotions and am thinking a bit about Jacob w because I was always and I realize I missed Jacob w a lot .
You may never see this but if you ever do a what if video, do what if killua was killed not kite. Because if the closest person to him died imagine the monster it would have created
Your Art pieces are truly magnificent, an in depth analysis on Ging would be truly appreciated, most people have a hard time understanding him, but do whatever truly comes to you, im sure thats how you continue to create these masterpieces
Brah, you're spoiling us. That said, excellent analysis as always. This two part essay felt very complete. And out of curiosity, how did you take notes while watching the show, which I assume was your methodology. Also, do you have a background in academia? :o
This show made me tear up so damn much for the genre it’s in, I loved it so much though and I would gladly recommend this to anyone looking for such a beautiful anime.❤️❤️
It's not fair to call Gon selfish for committing s*icide while bringing Pitou down. We can't blaim people for harming themselves, that's just wrong Gon did a bad thing when he said Killua didn't care, but i pretty sure he meant Kite, that Kite didn't mean to Killua as much, which is true. Yes, he lashed out at Killua, and when he was revived, it was the first thing he thought about: how he should apologize to Killua. It wasn't not some great moment of revelation, when Gon finally showed his 'monster self' jeez give the kid a break Gon was selfish for forcing Killua to be his emotional support and care for his safety during their journey, but in the final fight he did his best and i won't judge anyone in his situation
This is a amazing. You have this way of explaning things about a show that means the world to me! I did not understand why they had to leave each other and i thought that it was a bad ending but you made me realize that it kinda was for the best but i miss them so muc and wish that they will come back soon..! Thank you for a amazing video!!!
kinda reminds me when zeno told his backstory that he and netero are good friends. made me think was their journey of friendship like gon and killua's or different...
I have much to say, but right now i just got myself clapping my hands alone in my room because of how impressing and well made this two videos i just warched where. Ur wrighting is brillant, u defend ur point with greatness, and tho i discord in some expects, u have made me rethink about a lot of concept in their relatioship. Gon and Killua are admirrable exemplos of true friendship, devotion and love, they show how strong u can care for someone u knew in the most diff of situations and how much things change by lil details, the kindness of one can completely reformulate the heart of another, if Killua never heard about the Hunter Exam? If Leorio, Kurapika and Gon didnt even reach the firts phase? Is like everything worked for them to meet. Light and darkness cannot exist without it other "The brilliant the light, the bigger the shadow" (Hyouriitai - YUZU)
Another beautiful video on these two! I’ve been wondering something since I finished the anime and I’m curious what you think. What do you think it would take for them to be ready to reunite and perhaps travel together again? I too see it was necessary for them to part ways, but I can’t imagine that they’d stay away from each other forever
Make sure to share with others that you may feel are interested in the show. Thank you all for watching, I appreciate it.
Sage's Rain please never stop
Plz, i comment on all your vids, plz make a durarara video alr;((
Thank you sage 🙏🏿
And please @Sage’s Rain please do a Steins;Gate video
Hey man ! Love your videos and your voice. I don't know if you take request from your subscribers or not but I wanted to request you to do a video on Erwin Smith from Attack On Titan. That dude is an interesting character and I would love to see your take on this great Character. Thank you !
If Gon is light, then it's safe to say that Killua is love.
Killua is love Killua is life
Yall gay 😂nahh my nigga killua is like an older brother in a way
@@1krazyking and he's younger than gon
killua taking hearts out killua literally says him and gon are the same age
@@makotoamamiya2442 they were born the same year, killua in july, gon in may, i think
The scene where Gon confronts Pitou is my favorite sequence in the whole show.
The only time we're Gon shows true unadulterated hatred and rage
I love it too, but it's also pretty difficult to the watch the humanity slowly disappear from his eyes, then his actions. Made even more somber by the fact that he's a child.

in killuas breakthrough when he removes illumis needle, he actually uses a word that translates to precious and not dear😭😭💗💗
18:33 "His best friend was Gon" goddammit
somebody had to do it

Same with me it helps me to calm down and relax because really really relaxing to me.
Probably the most relax guy on youtube
"Sage... you are light. Sometimes you shine so brightly, I must look away. But even so, is it still OK if I watch your videos?"
-You (davidcardenas2694)
It makes me sad those two just children that should never been involved in this war it just end up hurting them both in the end
I thought I was the only one thinking that. I mean where were all the other pro hunters? The fact that there were only 10 people, of which 1 was captured and transformed, 1 had a mental breakdown, 2 were chimera ants and 2 were children. Only 4 were mentally stable adults.

Great video though, I just feel this is an important thing to mention.
This was absolutely beautiful, and powerful.
The words and clips not only clarified their relationship, they also conveyed feelings.
I was bawling my eyes out for half of the episode, great fucking job man.
TheTrivek42 I appreciate this, thank you.
Same here. When Killia cried and until the end of the episode, I cried
if there was ever a moment that i remember from Hunter X Hunter its the ending of the episode when pito tells gon that kite is dead I just remember the shock and the outro song playing as gon started crying to this day that outro is one of my favorites
God when you said that after Gon truly apologizes to Killua, their friendship will reach new heights, I broke down. Damn good video
Light can Be Turned Into Darkness And Darkness Can Truned Into Lightness.
This Is What Ying And Yang Means
My heart can’t take this. Whew. I think the events towards the end of HxH was so traumatic that I suppressed it so I ended up forgetting what happened.
Friendship is such a beautiful and fleeting thing. This makes me appreciate what friends I have even more than I already do.
Ily dude amazing Vid like always!
I can never get enough of your videos dude ! You defo have a way of displaying both the characters in a way that allows them to be appreciated with their flaws as well. Keep on growing dude, forever subscribed ! :D
Never stopped what I was doing so quickly!!🤯

Your channel is *criminally* underrated.
Never had an analysis make me feel more than the actual anime did. Absolutely amazing.
Damn man this shit had me in tears. I ain't never thought of their friendship that deep
This video helps me to relax and calm down and try to control my emotions and am thinking a bit about Jacob w because I was always and I realize I missed Jacob w a lot .
You may never see this but if you ever do a what if video, do what if killua was killed not kite. Because if the closest person to him died imagine the monster it would have created

I really liked this,it made me make sense of my own situation.
It also gave so much meaning to the part of the show i honestly didn't get and found boring.
Please make a video about Kurapika!!
Imagine if it was killua who was on the floor
It's not fair to call Gon selfish for committing s*icide while bringing Pitou down. We can't blaim people for harming themselves, that's just wrong
Gon did a bad thing when he said Killua didn't care, but i pretty sure he meant Kite, that Kite didn't mean to Killua as much, which is true. Yes, he lashed out at Killua, and when he was revived, it was the first thing he thought about: how he should apologize to Killua.

Killua and alluka's scene is my favorite anime scene
This is a amazing. You have this way of explaning things about a show that means the world to me! I did not understand why they had to leave each other and i thought that it was a bad ending but you made me realize that it kinda was for the best but i miss them so muc and wish that they will come back soon..! Thank you for a amazing video!!!

Absolutely beautiful video. HxH is the greatest piece of media of all time.
