I think Meruem cutting off his arm might be an intentional reference to this. It shows that deep down he's not purely evil and if he'd been raised in a different environment he could have been a hero. During the Chimera Ant arc, Gon grows darker and more morally grey as it goes and Meruem grow lighter and slides from a villain into being morally grey.
I think until he started dying he was still supervillain like Nazi and Racist thinking the ants deserved and was better than humans and only a few nen users would be spared and treated somewhat ok... Morally grey my ass 😂😂😂 bro just SIMPED last minute and some retards think he is somehow kind!? 😮💨😮💨😮💨

I think the hint is more about how extreme he can be. From the moment we learn about binding vows I wondered how and when that would pay off. More so as the series went on.
I feel like it's more of a representation of his downward spiral into madness, as the arm injuries progressively got worse to the point where he just straight up lost it, while also representing the detriment to the whole "protecting friends and loved ones" trope.
@@mr.h.7916it's definitly a downward spiral his stubbornes to always keep going because of his ego was his undoing in almost every arc just to different degrees
@mr.h.7916 His recklessness cost him everything by the end of Chimera Ant. He would've died if not for Killua having a magical sister. Even after basically cheating death, he still doesn't have his Nen.
@@mr.h.7916 ...no it's definitely a downward spiral. His own stubbornness and desire for everything to go his way lead him to make the ultimate sacrifice. He's a morally grey character, because while his intentions are kind in nature, we see how he was willing to leave Komugi to die just for the chance of Kite surviving. Obviously you could argue that since Gon doesn't know Komugi personally, why should he care? If that's the case, where the fuck is your heart?? She is a little girl, come on now. Do you really think Gon before then was just going to let some girl who's done nothing to him just up and die? Overall, the arm DOES represent a downward spiral, because we see the detriment to Gon's stubbornness. Obviously he is a kid, so we should cut him some slack, but in the world of Hunter x Hunter, we see where that eventually leads him. Madness.
@@Rose_Petals12 I love that you called Gon a morally gray character, cause that is one of the things that he hates. Maybe cause I’ve subscribed to the idea that Gon as a kid: has an extreme black & white view on the world, what is good in his eyes cannot ever be bad and viceversa. So when a character that Gon deems as being bad reaches that gray zone, he can’t process it for dear life, we’ve seen it in the scene with Nobunaga, but for me the best example is his animosity towards Neferpitou: that monstrosity, that freak of nature (in Gon’s mind) that practically murdered someone precious to him and puppeteered his corpse like it was nothing also did something as noble as protecting and healing a little girl. Needless to say Gon went haywire with that one, not being able to handle a cocktail of negative emotions and perhaps his first instance of true self-doubt, then the fact that he was never taught how to handle his emotions in a healthy way, the only outlet for all of that was pure anger, we all know how that ended. To address the theme of this thread, yeah I see it as downward spiral and also an example of being brave vs being fearless, Gon is stupidly fearless cause he doesn’t stop and think of the repercussions of losing a limb, instead of considering the consequences yet still sacrificing his well-being cause there’s something bigger at play, but none of the situations presented in the video was worth it. For what I can remember he could just walk away with all of his limbs intact if given a bit more of thought. But I do believe that at the end (if Gon’s story continues that is) he will lose that arm permanently but for the right reasons rather than just recklessness. On a final note: yeah I guess I cut Gon some slack cause he is a kid, but the Neferpitou situation in particular, I’ll cut him some slack regardless if he was young or old, someone dear to him died and not in a pretty way mind you. Some people say that he threw a tantrum because it was the first instance that he was told no and things not going his way, but also the first time that he truly lost someone (at least in that moment cause no one could have guessed that Kite would return as a little chimera-ant girl.)
I love that his reckless actions have genuine consequences and that gives the others in the cast the spotlight so we can see their equally interesting stories
It's actually all about ego. In each example Gon injures his arm by being reckless and refusing to accept help from others. In the Greed Island arc, this same mentality from Gon got Killua's hands destroyed because, as Hisoka said, it is not enough to win, Gon needs the perfect win. The need for a flawless victory is the common thread, he could have thrown the match in the exam arc & took on the next opponent as he had the most tries, but that's not a flawless win. He could have stuck to the plan to wait for Killua and Bisky to tag in to defeat the bomber during the Greed Island arc but he'd rather do it on his own even at the risk of blowing up his hands. Same with Pito, the plan was always to work together with Killua but his ego had to turn it into a solo mission, all to retrieve the perfect win & redemption. "I was just like Kite in the end." at that moment Gon achieved his version of perfection. All of the arm symbolism up to that point, even having his arm repeatedly crushed arm wrestling the phantom trope (because it mattered more to talk back and maintain face) was to foreshadow the behavior that would lead to his demise. His self-sacrifice has never been virtuous, it was largely ego-driven and selfish. Like father, like son.
@@pikachubolt2001 But All The Evidence Is Pointing To That Theory Tho Hell I Would Be that Surprised If The Creator Said That This Was A Whole Reference To Dragon Ball And To Vageta!!!🍺🗿😂

Ngl I could never understand the significance of kite like bro spent days with the guy and suddenly is willing to die for revenge on the guy that killed him
It's cuz the 2011 anime didn't show part of the first arc He didn't meet Kite after greed island, he met him in his hometown Whale Iwland and kite saved him in that moment
@@reichikitaeslomaximo5324 naah, the 2011 version shows the retrospection of gon meeting kite when gon entered the foxbear territory at the beginning of the Chimera Ant arc. i ought to believe there were multiple factors at why gon was so frustrated with Kite's death like because Kite was his father's student which saved him and he couldn't repay it, the Pitou and Komugi situation, the feeling of helplessness in crucial moments...
@@twujstary1129 still the 1999 shows the time he spent with kite, kite told him about his father and how he was a hunter and set gon on that track to finding him, i have no idea why the 2011 didn't show that if they were going to keep kite in the story??
@@twujstary1129I think it’s both, just cause I guess Kite took on the “uncle/dad” role, so that is of course going to play a factor (only real positive male role model that was at least present at some point), but YES I also think there was the fact shit was really ramping up anyways, his personality and his struggle with that blurred line between good and bad…. man, I just find Gon to be the most interesting MC. I’ve watched a good bit of stuff but never have related more. I love when characters are willing to go to those dark depths, guess I’m so used to the hero shit by now! It’s nice to see someone so stubborn and prideful and eventually hateful that they make serious mistakes-very real stuff there.
@twujstary1129 A flashback (2011) and an actual dedicated episode (1999) depicting the bond between Gon and Kite hit completely different when we're talking about why Gon went super saiyan went Kite died. A lot less people would be confused if the 2011 version remastered that episode instead of making it a flashback in later seasons.
Gon, Killua, Kurpika and Hisoka are all the protagonists. Theres a reason why if theyre relavent to an arc we just switch over to their perspective for chapters at a time. We just had that happen with Hisoka.
The writer probably wanted Gon to be injured badly to raise the stakes as well as showing the language this boy will go through. This also makes him look really tough. The reason it’s just his arms is because then he could fight with a handy cap that isn’t impossible to fight through that he could recover from in a reasonable amount of time.
I think it was said by togashi that whenever he writes stories every time a character sustains a significant surgery could have actually been a time where the character was written to die. I liked to think that whenever Gon sustains an injury to his arm that it could’ve been time where he would’ve been killed off in the hxh story
Okay my theory would be thay assumably the arm that gets damaged is based on wether it was a logical choice or an emotional choice. Idk if it's exactlt one for one on each example. But i like this, 'show not tell' of his arms being damaged as a result of his choices. Theres quite a few ways to make several deeper meaning inroads about his actions and which arm was damaged and what we assosciate with each arm.
Togashi apparently writes multiple endings for an arc: these include one where things go perfectly smooth for the heroes and one where every protagonist dies (he apparently does this to see how dark/difficult the story can get while allowing his characters to pull through). The insider theory is that whenever Gon breaks an arm was a moment in the story where he should have died.
I always thought the title referred to Gon tracking down Gin. Similar to how there are gourmet hunters, gem hunters, ruin hunters etc. Gon was a hunter hunter, looking for his dad.
here is a similar, imo even carzier detail: the hunter exam foreshadowed neteros death. firstly he played a game with gon and killua where he only used his right arm and left hand, the same limbs he lost against meruem. additionally the final part of the hunter exam was a battle where you should make your opponent surrender without killing them, just like meruem wanted to make netero surrender without killing him
I see it more as insecurity ? he thinks less of himself. He exposed this side during his talk with Kurapika during the hunter exam and when he said he's allowed to die but not Killua. Gon thinks of his friends and loved ones as higher being/more valuable compared to his disposable life. Almost the adults he looked up to fail him. They knew what's going on with him but no one called him out. Some even took his anger for granted to defeat an enemy. Im yapping atp but Gon's really complex despite being an enhancer
@@Gemmie-we4llwym yapping you're spitting facts bruh. Gon is indeed complex and I love how you adressed how Morrel took Gon's rage into account against the chimera. Which is insane since he's indirectly a child soldier lmao atp
if you think about it... we don't even truly know what type of hunter gon wants to even be. now that he's found ging we probably won't get an answer till he makes a surprising return
It’s not just HxH. When I was first getting into anime characters losing or breaking arms was so common I asked the friend who was introducing me if it was a thing in Japanese culture lmao
Togashi always entered each arc with the question "how do I kill Gon this arc ?" And then goes halfway, he stated this was his thought process. And we cannot argue with the results.
I want a spinoff of a slice of life kinda style of hxh. With Gon, Killua, killua sibling and there nen master and his other student. living life while training. With heavens arena being home base for them training. Low stakes view of the hxh world meeting other op Characters in less hostile way.
Gon Animal name, I believe would be honey Badger because they will attack despite how wounded they are and will keep charging more and more. So I've gone ever Joined the same organization as Jean. I believe he would be instantly the top strongest.
The symbolic is certainly egyptian and work in egyptian language , as Togashi is interested in occultistes and make some reference to egypt, Chimera ants is clearly inspired from egyptian religion
There are 4 main protagonists in the show At least 3 You can't just ignore killua just because he joined gon Killua was a key factor in learning nen which is the most important aspect of hxh Training gon Finding the greed island Protecting gon and saving his life twice against puto and when gon collapsed And he has 2 arcs focused on him Zoldyc family and election arc And the rest he was equal to gon in almost every aspect soo

Just like Vegeta after taking a beating always his arm is injured 😅
It almost sounds like Luffy getting poisoned a couple of times.😮
Gon has the Vegeta treatment with that arm
Yeah. Also Vegeta always getting the same arm injured and the way he holds it represents his guilt for all the destruction caused by the saiyans.
Adding on to it his injury just gets worse every single time
Reminds me a bit of how Finn in adventure always seems to lose his arm almost like he's destined to
The first one to lose an arm is the one who bump into hisoka in hunter exam
"Luckily for him, Killua has a wish granting sister-"
If I was her I wouldn't know if to take that as a compliment or an offense
Sameone: "tell me the difference between these two characters Gon and Deku"
Me: "i see no difference"
Tony stark: first time?
Bro has the Vegeta syndrome
No I did not notice that till now! Good catch
Gon is deep down broken inside from get go, despite his seemingly cheery nature.
Don't worry, he has plot armour
Bro really said "I'm left! I'm right! I'm left! I'm right!"
I also remember a line them saying every time a bone breaks and heals it becomes stronger.
This was a great video subscribed!
Gon, Killua, Kurpika and Hisoka are all the protagonists. Theres a reason why if theyre relavent to an arc we just switch over to their perspective for chapters at a time. We just had that happen with Hisoka.
In fact the main protagonists are Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio. Hisoka is like the main antagonist.
That's a great interpretation actually
Tbf 90% of the story is in Gon and Kurapika's pov so even if the 4 are protagonists, technically the 2 main ones are Gon and Kurapika.
Bro is cooking harder than my oven
The writer probably wanted Gon to be injured badly to raise the stakes as well as showing the language this boy will go through. This also makes him look really tough. The reason it’s just his arms is because then he could fight with a handy cap that isn’t impossible to fight through that he could recover from in a reasonable amount of time.
Almost like how ichigo literaly get his shoulder bodied every single fight
I think that those were moments where Togashi considered killing Gon
The undying arm of legends.
I think that’s a reference to every time Gon could have died but didn’t because Togashi didn’t want to kill him
Gons fight with the bomber resembles Hisokas fight with Castro.
Nobunaga bleeds his hand too in York New arc
When gon regain his nen sense, he gonna be a amongus
Lmao it reminds me of Vegeta always fucking up his left arm....and only his left arm

I liked to think that whenever Gon sustains an injury to his arm that it could’ve been time where he would’ve been killed off in the hxh story

I want a spinoff of a slice of life kinda style of hxh. With Gon, Killua, killua sibling and there nen master and his other student. living life while training. With heavens arena being home base for them training. Low stakes view of the hxh world meeting other op Characters in less hostile way.
Gon is the vegeta of the series
Did you guys also realize that by the end of his protagonist role in the story he broke and lost his arms in the same order
Piccolo would be proud
He’s trying to be like vegeta fr 😅
Gon and Vegita had the same problem on their arm.
Gon Animal name, I believe would be honey Badger because they will attack despite how wounded they are and will keep charging more and more. So I've gone ever Joined the same organization as Jean. I believe he would be instantly the top strongest.
This script sounds something exactly chat gpt would write
Dude just dont care. He knew plot armor would save him anyway
It's plot armor. Stop saying that. That's plot armor this plot armor. Not everything is Fucking plot armor. Shut up about it
Brother, wish granting brother…
Deeper meaning ❌
Only big damage that you can show without it affecting fighting ability ✅
The symbolic is certainly egyptian and work in egyptian language , as Togashi is interested in occultistes and make some reference to egypt, Chimera ants is clearly inspired from egyptian religion
I think the author will use this pattern to make sense of a great Nen ability related to the arms that Gon will create to use Nen again.
There are 4 main protagonists in the show
At least 3
You can't just ignore killua just because he joined gon
Killua was a key factor in learning nen which is the most important aspect of hxh
Training gon
Finding the greed island
Protecting gon and saving his life twice against puto and when gon collapsed
And he has 2 arcs focused on him
Zoldyc family and election arc
And the rest he was equal to gon in almost every aspect soo
Cant wait for his new nen ability to just be indestructable arms😅
Well done explaining totally nothing in so many words 👍
Bro speed running shanks 😂
Just give him already his robotic arm as finn
