Gons Voice actress really cooked in these episodes
megumi han, she voiced obito's rage
Insane. I remember when I got good headphones first thing I did was rewatch tht scene
Absolutely visceral performance in the best way
@@user-zq5dh6jr8n And Arima kana from oshi no ko
Bro when I saw it as a kid I was blown away and didn’t really understand all of it. But gons rage stuck with me.
Episode 116,131 & 135 are engraved into my memory, I’ll never forget them for as long as I live.
Add 135 blud (tho I guess it's different)
post-credit scene of 135 killed me. like i woke up the next day and i was actually unwell
SAME. Throw in ep 135 into it as well and then it's perfect.
@@AyoOgunyoyesame though.... like i stopped watching at ep 117 bc the tension had me mentally unwell but when i picked it back up and finished the arc i was left feeling mentally and physically exhausted 💀
@@thatweirdodanielsame happened to me ;-; 😂
One of the best rage moments in anime history of all time
THE BEST moment will come in a few eps
I Saw alot of anime and its Facts
Try RAGNA CRIMSON
@@staceymaeboh hell nah
nah it was mediocre
You know its messed up when a literal assassin is trying to talk you out of killing someone
true hh
both Gon and Killua are like yin yang, Killua has a good heart but raised in a messed up family, while Gon is the opposite, hes actually messed up but raised in a good environment. that is why during the hunter exam, Killua can still interact and made friends with Gon. if their roles are switch up, and Gon are raised in messed up environment, I bet he would be a cold blooded killer and wont even interact with others and make friends.
@@mranonymus1563true man. Didn’t think about that
@@jingleballs9935 nahh, I read this somewhere in some old youtube videos, but it still sticks with me till now but I added some.
Also remember when in episode 83 kite says that Gon has a dangerous view as he wants to kill all the ants as he sees them all as the same. Meanwhile Killua made a friend with Ikalgo who tried to kill him lol
@@mranonymus1563bro why are y'all trying to make gon seem like a psycho ? What is this new narrative that u keep trying to push ? "He is messed up" explain how please
You also gotta remember that Kite is the closest thing to a father figure gon has ever had in his life. Like literally.
One of the things I loved about this arc is the gradual way the ants (mostly the king & royal guard) show more and more humanity. Where as the hunters on the other hand become more and more monstrous from the lengths they go to win/ survive. The fact Pouf is the most human-looking Royal Guard yet has the least empathy of any of them is such a cool subtle detail to reinforce this
Pouf shows a lot of humanity but its the negative side of it
One thing I think a lot of people don’t realize is everything Gon feels towards Kite is an extension of his feeling for his dad. He cares so much for Kite because of his importance to his dad. Kite isn’t just someone who is special to gon, kite is special to someone who is special to him. And on top of that, Gon thinks the only thing Ging values is strength. This isn’t just the first time Gon has to face potentially losing someone, it’s the first time he’s failed something that he thinks Ging thinks he’s ready for. There’s definitely an implication that because he let Kite get to this state, he will never see Ging.
I like the specific wording that was chosen by Pitou because it emphasizes the parallel between her relationship to Komugi and Gons relationship to Kite, "This person is someone whos important to someone important to me." They both want to save that person.
Man this makes me imagine if all of this happened to Gin instead it wouldve hit harder, i wouldve cared more, you would have to rewrite a lot of things but yeah.
@@orbboom6119yeah the only thing about this scene is that I just don’t care about kite. I watched the original 1999 so I know kite was in the first episode (or episode 2 I forgot which one) but he’s still virtually a rando. Now if kite was gons older brother who was looking for him so they could both go find ging then this would hit like a bag of bricks. This scene still got goosebumps out of me though.
@@deadringer-cultofdeathratt8813 even the peak of shonen, like hxh, ends up having the same problems as most shonen😔like the fake deaths and undoing of consequences.
@@orbboom6119 fake deaths might be the most despicable war crime.
I can't even describe the emotions I felt during this arc, perfectly crafted fr
The omission of Kite in the beginning isn't just felt at the start and the end, Kite gives Gon Ging's license as a child in the manga, and there are a few moments where Gon thinks to himself about Kite, or about his dads license. Sure those are minor moments but they add up so that when you see Kite, it feels like you've known him all along, making his death hit harder, and Gon even more sympathetic
Yeah, Since I watched the original version when I was little and read the manga up to its point, I didn't like to see that they removed it in this version and I almost didn't continue watching it.
Honestly the most puzzling choice by the director to remove that aspect of the story. It's caused people to claim that Gon was acting out of character ( I mean he was but with good and believable reason) and question why he was so attached to Kite. Tho I think it still works out only due to how Gon is as a character. Just not as well
Exactly. Although the relationship built between Killua might be stronger, Kite was someone that not only saved his life but also told him about Ging and how he didn't die in an accident (what Gon believed) but instead was a hunter.
He's like the uncle that shows up and talks about all the antics he got in with your dad.
@@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4 he was kind of like Shanks or Iruka to Gon.
It does make Kites death less impactful to the viewer, sure. But I think it still should be obvious to any viewer paying attention why this death hit Gon so hard and why he is reacting this way, tbh
Gon's VA absolutely killed it
Narrator: "Gon was raging at Pitou"
Also Narrator: "Pitou did not hear a word he said"
lmao
LOL yea, that part always makes me laugh
Knowing pitou's character, it makes sense
But it's logical, she heard him screaming, but she didn't pay attention to the words he is saying, because she was focused on komugi. That happenes to me. It's like when you don't pay attention in class, despite hearing the teacher's voice, you're in your own bubble!
killua didnt just 'leave' gon.. he understood the situation enough that both parties were stay true to there word for their own safety/benefit. he left so he could still assist the others while gons in waiting
It’s so crazy to see this side of Gon, especially when you compare him to the wholesome boy that he was at the beginning of this show. To see him lash out at Pitou like this is quite frightening. I always get chills during this episode. Amazingly well-written by Togashi, and phenomenal work by Gon’s voice actress.
there's a lot to say about what Gon is going through in episode 116, so here is my take on it
Gon was ready to arrive with Pitou and immediately start fighting, but when Pitou kept refusing to fight he didn't know what to do with all the anger he had accumulated over the past weeks, so he started directing some of it towards Killua.
when this creature,, who in his mind was completly evil, showed some humanity, Gon started to absolutely lose it (we saw something like this happen when Nobunaga cried for Uvo's death). this made Gon go into an inner conflict; his enemy was no longer a heartless creature. why didn't Pitou show some of that humanity and empaty towards Kite?
Killua analyzed the situation and saw that Pitou meant no threat to Komugi. he immediately knew that thier best shot if they wanted to save kite was to allow Pitou to heal her, but Killua also knew that this was the right thing to do.
Now, it's not that Gon didn't necessarily know this, but more that he was drowning so much in his need for revenge that didn't _care_ and so when Killua started asking him to let Pitou heal Komugi that made him angrier. Why should he wait? Because Komugi was important to Pitou? Kite was important to him too and yet no one gave him an hour! In his mind this was so unfair, and if Killua was asking him to do something so unreasonable then it must mean that he didn't care at all.
But Killua _did_ care, not only for Kite but specially for Gon, and I'm sure that Gon cares about Killua deeply as well! but the mix of anger, frustration and guilt made Gon act the way he did. now, I'm not trying to justify the way he treated Killua at all, but it's important to understand that he was in a very weak state of mind. Gon is a kid who spent his entirely life trapped on a small island and who is now struggling to learn how harsh the world can truly be.
there's a lot more than i can add to this, but it's a bit spoilery so I'm not going to lmao
Thank you for this comment, normally I wouldn't be very good at putting it into words how I feel about Gon as a character and especially throughout this episode in particular. But it's nice to see that some people share the same sentiment and are able to put it into words for the rest of us.
I just love how Gon’s voice actress makes you feel his pain ❤️
11:50 atp Pitou doesn’t remember who they are nor she knows who kite is. In pitou’s perspective there are 2 humans who seems like having a big grudge on her, they pose danger for Komugi’s life, and that they want her to heal this ‘kite’ person. So she just give them anything they want as long as komugi is safe, not that she knows whether kite can be saved or not
Why would she have forgotten them? Pitou was so completely enthralled by her fight with Kite that she developed her nen to try to revive him. Her whole personality of loving to fight was a result of meeting him. We see her relieving that moment in memory, and she saw the boys with him. She definitely knows who he's talking about.
@@bsnogueraPitou didn’t know his name was Kite
@@TheNicNicNicNic What other person that boy was walking around with and she killed and kept the body?
@HaloAceGamerTV Oh, that I didn't remember. It's so weird she would forget... but if she says that, I guess she did, huh.😅
Kite does not mean to him more than killua
this is the result of holding back his rage for the last month and his one track and narrow mindset. he is so focused right now that he doesnt see anything else
its not like he doesnt see anything else,cause From the point of view of the raiders, Pitu's words are not credible,So to me it's perfectly reasonable that gon doesn't listen to what pitou try to say
Gon met kite when he was a kid, obviously kite means a lot to him than killua, he's the second father figure for gon
@@blackeyes1252 he talked with Kite for 30 minutes half his lifetime ago and had no other contact with the dude. And his main attraction to the dude is wholly tied to actual important person - Ging. Thats who they talked about for the short time they were together. With Killua, Gon has a life outside Ging. He has experienced more with Killua than he has with Kite and Ging. He 100% values Killua higher. He is being emotional and irrational in that scene.
@@rexibhazoboa7097 that just shows how different gon is to a normal person. and kite left that big of an impact on him
Megumi Han did wonderful with Gon's character.
It always amaze me the fact that Gon was only her second role as VA
Doesnt matter how many times i watch this. Chills every time.
All 5 of the boys hard leaning in at the start of the episode, literally edge of their seats. IDK in all of the shows if I've ever seen them with such anticipation lol.
The issue with them showing Kite this late in the anime adaption is that people will rightfully ask why Gon cared that much about him.
In the manga Kite is the first character you see Gon interacting with.
He's the guy that pretty much convinced him to become a Hunter and search for his dad, and he's one of his main motivations throughout his journey, so it's no understatement how much Gon cared for him.
Unfortunately in the anime we would meet him at the start of the Chimera Ant arc, so it may feel a lil weird why Gon would behave like that.
It never realy bothered me, to me its pretty clear that Gon blames himself for someone (Kite) dying, thats pretty much the main thing that is important here.
18:11 yeah, as I said like 70 episodes ago, the soundtrack was composed by Yoshihisa Hirano, the same guy who composed all the orchestral songs for Death note.
The way Gon sits at the end is the same way that the King sits.
Let's not forget that Gon is 12 years old boy…
I had the same reaction as you guys. These episodes were so intense and I was also hurt when Gon said those things to Killua.
Gon DOES have issues. He loves Killua, but to him, Kite represents the way to his dad, and Kite's death is him losing his way to his dad. Basically, it's his daddy issues acting up.
Shivering episode
Gons sitting stance was just like the King.
13:53 Gon is going through that age man. Also that child who never saw someone close to him in that shape makes it like the situation of oil into the fire.
It's like when u add
Teenagers mood + innocence facing something terrible for the first time = Gon's emotion
"innocence facing something terrible for the first time" is not accurate. I would say its more like watching someone's actions break apart your entire worldview. Cause Gon is not innocent nor is he facing anything/anyone terrible in that moment.
"Killua, im asking the questions"
FUUUGGGGG
gon had them shook not a singular word uttered 😭
Kite actually does mean more to Gon than Killua does.
Gon is naturally friendly, makes friends with everyone. Gon and Killua are best friends but It's not really a symmetric friendship.
Killua's main goal was to get a friend. That was his "hunt". so Gon, his first friend, is particularly special to Killua. But Gon's hunt was not getting a friend.
Kite is the person who gave purpose to Gon, it's Kite who told Gon about Ging being alive, and about Ging being a hunter. This was omitted in the 2011 anime. But Gon's entire "hunt" is not Ging as a person, really, but "knowing why Ging left". It's Kite who hinted this to him, who told him being a hunter was a valid lifestyle. Gon's purpose is more tied to Kite than any other person.
Nothing beats the story writing and pacing of this arc
Aaaahh you can probably beat the pacing fairly easily lol
the pacing is really bad. And the story is not special. Humans are evil, chimera's are like humans, that's it.
That Gon scene is when I realised I like voice acting more than anything else in anime.
Ever since I watched that scene I've always said you can give me the best action scene and the best animation and I'll take good voice acting over it any day. Nothing gets more emotion out of me than some good voice acting.
Watching people react to this show feels like I’m watching it for the first time again. I love this
This is one of the best pieces of work in voice acting I've ever heard. You can literally hear the actress's teeth grinding out of rage.
I always watch that scene and everytime I watch it I get goosebumps
These episodes are classic for me, can't believe that watching them weekly as they aired was already 10 years ago...
Kite is basically why Gon is a Hunter. He would have never found out without him. "Hey, your dad is alive, he is a Hunter and a famous one at that. Here, take this application card. I'm sure you're Hunter material. Take the test as soon as you're old enouugh" Gon grew up thinking his dad died in a car accident. That's what Mito told him. His horizon widened like crazy through this one guy. The closest person to his father that he knows. Other people are like: "Oh he's very famous, oh I admire him from afar but actually never met him, oh I've worked with him on that game..." Kite is his pupil who must have formed a bond with him and gotten to know him and like Gon said 'earned his respect'. So he's a *very* special person to him.
WE ARE ENTERING THE AREA OF PEAK PEAK HXH
I mean the whole show is PEAK , but this is one of the top of the PEAKS .
@krishpache7271 the show really is peak anime, this arc though - not so much.
@@ozzyfanatic666 We welcome all opinions here, even the wrong ones
@@ozzyfanatic666 I think especially after rewatching the arc that the Peaks of this arc are some of the best in all of anime and very much make up for the low and slow parts of the arc .
@@krishpache7271watching this arc again made me appreciate it so much more. Had the same opinion as the last guy till I gave it a rewatch and now is one of my fav anime arcs of all time
Just got food. Perfect timing lol
you eat while wathcing? weirdo
116 is the episode that made me realise why people find this arc peak
It's very surprising to me that people having the same taste regarding animes overall don't share my taste when it comes to specific arcs, seasons and/or movies.
I feel so much for both of these kids that shouldn't be going through this... That said, I don't even remember breathing the first I watched this episode lol. About Kite, you see, one of the things that the anime didn't adapt is the whole dialogue between Gon and Killua when they first met. Originally, Gon doesn't just talk about becoming a Hunter because of Ging, he adds that Kite seemed so proud of his dad when they met that he decided to become just like Ging. We see Gon displaying lots of self-esteem issues hroughout the arcs, some more subtle than others, so being able to make Kite proud and to prove his worth have a strong impact on his character.
116 so powerful that they’re still talking about it in the discussion of the next episode on a different day
11:20
With it being decided that Gon will wait for one hour to keep an eye on Pitou, who can't use her Nen to defend herself right now, it would be pretty pointless for both of them to stay there.
This is still a mission first and foremost, Killua could be invaluable in other battles right now while Gon can easily keep Pitou in check alone as long as she uses Doctor Blythe.
So while I get what you mean, in Gons emotional state leaving him alone might be risky and mean, it is 100% the logical decision.
Even if Gon loses it, kills Pitou and thus kills Komugi and dooms any chance to get Kite back, that would still be better for the mission than Killua just chilling there and doing nothing instead of helping the other guys with Pouf and Youpi.
i mean gon didnt try to kill pitou at that time tho,thats why he said ''fight me,so i can get kite back'',he just want to beat the shxt out of pitou first
@@erasdsffw299
What are you arguing? I only said that worst case, even if Gon lost control, it would be fine for the mission.
And also, you're just pretending he didn't try to jajanken her while she can't use nen? Thus killing her? And Killua literally stopped him by telling him that if Gon kills Pitou now, they will never get Kite back.
So you're wrong, he DID try to kill her for a moment, Gon is losing control and on the verge of giving in to sheer rage right now.
Either way, none of this is actually relevant or changes anything about my comment, so I don't get the point of your reply 🙃
@@ardynizunia9709you dont get the point of my reply because no one want to arguing you,im just say gon didnt try to kill pitou at that time,killua said that because Killua thinks Gon is really going to kill her,pitou cant use nen doesnt mean jajanken will 100% kill her,Unless hit the head,and gon didnt try to kill her at that time,so In my eye gon is just wanna beat the shxt out of pitou first
The voice actor of Gon here was Amazing and perfectly done, every time i see that scene gives me chills
One of the greatest voice acting performances in anime
The emotions the voice actress (Megumi Han) of Gon got across this episode was so insane!
I love this anime so much
ew
This is the episode is the culmination of Gons character
One of the best rage scenes ever made
Man Carter, Cannon and Jackson had the same reaction I had when I watched this the first time. Thats VA for Gon absolutely killed that performance. I literally rewatched it after the first time I watched it.
the voice acting of Gon here is just a different level bro. too good
I have yet to see a better VA performance in anything than gon in this EP. One of the few episodes in anime that hits everytime I rewatch thanks to the art/VA
So that you understand the situation better, in the manga we discover Kaito in the first chapter, not only does he save Gon's life but he also tells him that his father is still alive, in reality it is rather Kaito who made Gon wants to become a Hunter, he had a huge impact on his life and on top of that he is his father's student so he is in a way part of the family since he is one of the people who brings him closer to Ging
I have been watching anime for 12 years now and that angry Gon moment is by far the best rage voice acting I have ever heard, with Pain's speech to Naruto as the best calm yet chilling delivery of all time.
116, 126, 131, and 135 are totally legendary.
🙌
You can add 134 it's one of the most emotional episode
For how much they hate Ikalgo and Welfin, both of them will carry the end of this arc, you know why.
personally he is a kid and everything pitou is doing goes against what gon considered “normal” imo. along with 0 emotional regulation. he doesn’t mind people being killers or scammers but still has enough of a sense of justice to judge what’s done in front of him. he’s a natures kid and nature is inherently cruel so he gets that but an animal he’s seen be nothing but evil and kill without shame suddenly protecting a small woman would cause such a huge disconnect. it’s such a good insane amount of stuff mentally challenging him rn and it’s something that took me a few rewatches to get more of. it’s never been just kite.
Episode 116-117: of appreciating McKay because I feel like to.
BEST run of episodes ever in any anime
nah
That cheetah ant was on the same level of ants that the Phantom Troupe took significantly longer to kill while it only took 1 hit from Silva
Tbf Silva basically got a free wide open shot, I feel like the Phantom Troupe could’ve one shotted Cheetu as well if they were in that same situation
My favorite episode of all time❤ thank you for the reaction!
ew
@@mihaimercenarul7467wdym by “ew”?😭
The ENTIRE Chimera Ant arc is fucking lit. You lads are in for thrills from here on out. Peak Anime moments for sure.
Cope
6:41 My father was near to me and gave me the same look , i just realized why...
Gon is sus
Just to be clear about gon's relationship with kite, in the comics kaite an gon meeting in the very first volume, and kaite who told gon that jis father ging was alive, and after kite saves gon life from a bear-something atack, kite gives gon the hunter licence from ging, and from this gon start to have this dream to become a hunter and find out ging, witch makes more real this gon's breaking up
This is the part where I feel like those kite episodes in the beginning could've helped it a lot more
13:30- because kite was ging's pupil, gon feels responsable for what happend to kite thinking that if he ever met his dad he will feel ashamed for not being strong enough to save kite.
Kite was not just someone who saved Gan, in the manga he was kind of his father figure
13:30 Also to clarify it does seem a little weird that Gon means so much to Kite but the reason for that is that Kite is kinda of the reason why Gon got the idea of becoming hunter and looking for is dad. They skipped that in the beginning so it seems a little odd that he would go so far for Kite.
Gon’s VA is so good in this episode.
Also, note that Kite is the first hunter we meet in the manga. In the very first volume, Gon meets Kite and learns about his father and about what hunters do. It’s never really stated, but kind of inferred, that Kite is Gon’s father figure. He’s never met Ging at this point, but this is Ging’s friend and student who introduced Gon to the Hunter society, because Aunt Mito kept this information from him. This doesn’t explain all of why Gon reacts the way he does, nor why he treats Killua the way he does in this episode… but it’s part of it for sure.
(They mention this interaction in the anime when Gon meets Kite at the very beginning of season 5, but in the manga… Gon and the readers realize that Kite really started Gon’s adventure to become a hunter)
It’s not explained very well in the anime but the main reason that Gon is so invested in Kite is because Kite is the reason that Gon knows Ging is alive. Gon was originally told Ging died in a car accident and then Kite met Gon on whale island and told Gon that Ging was alive
Man....the shoot scene really hits the feels...
a kid angry at a guy he barely met, sure...
Gon was so pissed off because he came to fight a soulless monster but the only things he witnessed was a person trying his best to save another person, acting completely like a normal caring human. Then as narrator said there was no target for his anger so he started screaming and overreacting. Because he is still a child.
The Silence speaks volumes
The Day I discovered how Gon became for me as one of the most complex and hard to comprehend characters in anime .
You must love that this shows how unpredictable things can be.
there are so much moving pieces, unaccounted variables and grain of sands in the cogs, that it really embodies the saying "A battle plan never survive the first minute of a battle"
Each person has their own ways of thinking and trying to do things, and each are taking decision based on the situation and the situations keeps changing, its a perfectly chaotic Mayhem.
And its all orchastrated with Meastria by Togashi's.
im so excited for you guys for that one episode it literally always make me shiver/give me goosebumps
gons relationship with kite is more fledged out in the manga. The anime brushes over the fact that Kite was like his mentor back on whale island.
Ep 116 imo is probably the best voice acting I've seen ever .. there are many voice acting scenes that come close to this but nothing surpasses this not that I have seen yet .
I can see carter holding his breath before the first credit XD
One of the big themes with the King and royal guards is that they all veer more and more into being human. Each of the guards has a "fatal flaw" manifested as a particular feeling or emotion. Pouf's is pride, which manifests in a toxic, self serving view of what the king should be. Pitou's is empathy, as she truly cares for the king and wishes for his wellbeing beyond the level of a mere guard. Youpi's hasn't been demonstrated yet, so I'm not gonna mention it.
Megumi Han cooking on the mic in this episode. 🔥
You gotta remember Killua has never had any meaningful relationships so it's a learning curve for him to realise that even someone he values and loves can treat him poorly. It's something we all learn through life. And remember he's only like 13.
I think during the short amount of time together with Kite at the beginning of the Chimera Arc, Gon got attached to Kite a lot. Gon admired Kite's skill, experience, and cool demeanor. He also saw Kite as a reliable mentor, much like how he envisioned his own father to be. Plus, Kite was one of the few people who had met and spent some time with Gon's father, which made Gon's attachment to Kite even stronger.
As for Gon being mean to Killua, I think if the same thing happened to Killua he would have lost his sane already at this point lol. It's just Kite happens to be the first one out of all the people who are important to Gon.
Gon is absolutely right that Killua Isn't nearly as invested on Kite as he is, he doesn't care that much for his revival nor is he feeling as guilty as Gon. Ofc thats obviously not how to speak to a friend that is risking his life for your sake. But Gon is under immense amount of stress at the moment.
13:27 That's why it was so important that the anime didn't skip the actual first chapter of the manga.
Gon and Kite where friends, and in 1st chapter of the chimera ant arc in the manga they recognize each other immediately, how wouldn't they, if they just met each other a few years ago, and it wasn't an encounter that anyone would easily forget, after all, Kite is Ging's friend and Gon's savior. Kite saved Gon from a Fox-bear in whale island, and taught him how to survive in the wild. After they spent some time talking in whale island, Kite gave Ging's hunter license to Gon so he can give it back to Ging when he find him.
So after seeing all this, you can understand why Kite is so important to Gon.
Some even speculate that Kite was some kind of father figure for Gon. He was the closest person to Ging (besides Mito) at the end of the day.
Kite was someone that Gon had in his heart since the story started. But in the 2011 anime he's just some random guy who saved him in a flashback and then left.
And it isn't like Kite is more important to Gon than Killua, I would say they're at lest equal.
I'm sure that if something like that happened to Killua Gon would react the same way.
You have to remember Gon is just a child, he's very inmature, has a weird sense of morality and I think he has a low self-steem, that would explain why he risk his life so easily. Maybe the abandonment of his father play a role in this behavior.
So in situations like this, it's no surprise for me that he harms himself and everyone around him.
That's the only critic I have for HxH. The fact that Kite is not in the first episode is such a weird choice. Either way, this anime and specially these episodes, are masterpieces.
Let's gooooooo, the time has come
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time
13:42 it was shown in the 1999 version that Kite was from the first episode when Gon was a little but in 2011 version it does not shown.. That's why Kite was so important for Gon also.
You have to keep in mind that Gon is still a 11 years old Kid
Its quite normal for someone at his age to be like that to his best friend in such complicated situations
Chimera Ant Arc.
Where a Beast Becomes a Man and a Boy becomes a Monster.
Ep 131 gonna be crazy
Gon "cares about Kite more than Killua" because Kite is the closest thing Gon has to a dad and Kite has a direct connection to Ging. That's why they should have had that scene with Kite in the beginning like in 1999 version.
Yeah baby! I am here boyss!!
Let's watch and enjoy this great episodes!!
Gon isn’t being mean to Lilly’s because he means less to him than Kite. He just feels like Killua should be just as mad as him and shouldn’t tell him to trust Pitou’s words based on “probably’s” after all they went through. So in his anger, he says Killua doesn’t seem to care. I don’t think he actually means that either. He’s just out of control as Killua says and blinded by rage.
I still think it would be cool if you guys recorded you doing a test to see what nen type you’d use.
Next reaction will be crazy, well, every single one will be because the invasion is crazy good lmao.
The literal family of assassins wouldn’t mess with this, that’s how you know Gon is out of his mind with rage
Was waiting for these moments since you got into hxh😂
Fun Fact: According to a 2011 interview with the director of the show, he didn't include Kite at the start coz he wanted to reveal him in a more dramatic way in 2nd half of the anime (which is in Chimera Ant)... Which he apparently came to regret later on as a decision. LOL. Honestly, I think one of the only negatives about this adaptation. Although by the end of this arc, they actually show an injured younger Gon and Kite sitting on a log as an End Card (which doesn't exist outside of the TV releases or possibly the Blu-ray/DVD releases?? I don't know since I watched HxH on release so it was the TV release and often some episodes would have End Card illustrations depending on what's on the episode)
Edit: But I kind of agree that Gon doesn't really know Kite very well anyway, so it's not too much of a big deal but it's also okay for him to be attached to someone who's important to his dad and probably would consider him close to a father figure as well in a sense since Kite himself seems to know him in some way. He's a kid so... And losing someone you get attached to - possibly also one of the first people he must have grieved about - can hit you hard the first time...
they also were going to animate chimera ant arc only if it finished in the manga, it was still on going while the anime went live so the studio wasnt sure if they could (thats why in chimera ant the animation looks better)
