Lindsay’s fears have been realized
she literally called this shit from the Hunter exam arc. I think it was Ep. 7, the first time she ever mentioned that there was something wrong with Gon. people will say I spoiled her, but they are 100% wrong.
It was all BIG BRAIN LINDSAY
@@BOLDcastbruh she scary fr 😂 feels like she can read anyone like a book at this point...she might have even picked up some of your hidden personality traits as well 😅
@@random_youtube_user
@@BOLDcast yeah I remember, and when she first mentioned it I was like, how did she call it so accurately? She even does this with other shows too! What a Big Brain She has
I remember that. we can all attest the power of big brain Lindsay
Lindsay is right on the money about Gon's very warped sense of morality. Serial killer? Bad. Serial killer who helped me get stronger? Good. Bisky was even concerned about it verbally as far back as Greed Island.
even as far back as heavens arena, Mr Wing said something along the lines of "Master, what have I done? Have I awoken a terrible monster?"
And zepile said it too in the greed island that" gon dosnt care about right or wrong thats mean he is dangerous"
I hope Togashi keeps on writing the series and kills the little shit
Well he grew without parents after all
this is such a tired argument about Gon, he isn't some insane person with warped morality, he's a child who's hurt and struggling to understand nuance. full blown adults trying to take the high ground on gon's "morality" is out of hand in this community. I swear people just echo whatever anime analysis YT video they see.
Gon is a kid, like, a REAL kid with emotions and behaviour typical from a kid... but he happens to be a main character in a shonen anime in a really messed up situation.
Very true
Nah, Gon is clearly twisted from the first arc. He is not a normal kid by any means lmao
@@roguesoul5051 Thats true, OP didnt say he was a normal kid though. Just a real one. The amazing thing about this anime is how character growth isnt connected to power growth. These kids have grown alot but its not like they have reached adulthood yet. Killua has matured alot more than Gon which is probably due to the extreme difference in social enviroment for him before the show and during. He has been forced to face his own self in a different way than Gon. Gons stubborness and relative success with it has in a way become his downfall this arc and I love it.
@@Jonasbman”I LIKED IT, HELL I LOVED IT!”
the "gon is a monster" is such a bad take, because he's clearly out of himself instead of "he has been faking as an empathetic kid" lol. he wouldn't struggle if he wasn't merciful at heart, but this situation demanded more reasoning than his mind could bear.
We should give awards to Gon VA for this scene when he delivered the speech and i can feel it
No hesitation when those lines were delivered , amazing voice work!
I always feel shaky when I hear this
Pretty sure it's a she.
Imo, the greatest performance by a VA i've ever heard, brilliant.
100% correct
i think so as well, Rage part 1 chefs kiss
agreed. This episode gives me chills even the 12th time I'm watching it. Best episode in all of HxH imo
There are better ones but that doesn't mean this performance wasn't incredible.
It's not that Gon disregards people that he doesn't personally care about, it's that he finds it unfair that Pitou can just go and kill someone he cares about but then can beg to protect someone else because in Gon's head she's an evil, unfeeling monster. He's having an inner battle over his morals and his rage because it rips up the image that he had been directing his rage at. We've been following Gon all this time with him being way too mature for his age but with this situation it has completely overwhelmed him, he hasn't had the life or training that Killua had so expecting him to act calm and rational in this situation is crazy.
That was exactly how I interpreted it
Gon absolutely disregards people he doesn't personally care about and he is probably the most immature character in the show
Exactly what I was thinking when she was going off against Gon
@@calvineastburn He doesn't seem to harbor any hard feelings for Tonpa. Also his whole talk with nobunaga and the troupe about sparing a little of their grief for those they kill?
@@calvineastburn He doesn't disregard them any more than the average shonen protagonist or even characters in the story, you also have to be a massive cunt or to have done someone really bad to be disregarded by him when death is involved. Also I said mature for his age, he's 12, not the usual 15/16+ you normally get. He's simple and not intelligent in life but that doesn't make him immature and he deals with situations at a level far above what he should be doing.
This episode has so so many layers of depth that is basically one of the best episodes in any production ever, this is the sum of all of the issues the characters are living within the HxH world.
Gon was not mentally prepared for what being a hunter really was, he is just a child, and it was hinted since Yorknew City arc by none other than Gon himself when he told Killua that it was his job to do and say crazy stuff while Killua's was to stay cool and stop him.
We cannot say that Gon was entirely guilty, from Gon's perspective it looked like Pitou was in fact hurting Komugi and that enraged Gon even more, specially to the person Gon considered a father since Kite was the person who gave Gon a goal, a meaning in life, and by the very first time Gon was actually in Kurapika's shoes. Being in a messed up situation like this in a short age and having access to an extremely powerful tool (his Nen) we can see that he is not being cautious or responsible for using it, he didn;t even care to save lives, he only cared to save Kite.
100/10 episode.
I love HxH because Gon is actually acting like a kid. Not more mature than he is. He behaves exactly like he would, his age, and due him growing up in a nice and loving environment in Whale Island. Killua is able to stay calm and acts more mature because of his past torture and his whole upbringing and family situation. Kids that grew up in war torn countries will be more mature than their age like Killua but normal kids would have been more like Gon. "
@ozzcoremidmx8287
Gon was not mentally prepared for what being a hunter really was, he is just a child" I agree
You understood the character well, but Gon is not a sociopath. I don't like how some people put Gon in the same place as Eren and Light, he is a child with dubious morals and absurd power, all his feelings in these episodes are valid, Pitou is still someone to be stopped, he would still kill millions if the king ordered it, while from that moment on there is the possibility of her changing... it's a very complex situation, one of the key points in the writing of hunter x hunter, so summing up everything to Gon being wrong and being a sociopath doesn't feels right to me.
Thank you, I've always hated that misinterpretation because it oversimplifies things and ignores all the actual issues and factors that led Gon to become like this.
But they explained why they think that way. If Gon reason to kill Pitou was that, because it is a threat to the world or because killing Kogumi gave then an edge over the King in the mission, his reason would be somewhat justified.
But He wants to kill Pitou out of revenge, even if at this time there was a chance to save Kite (his original goal).
He wants to save Komugi when it serve to his pourpose to fight, but when he learn that Pitou is healing her, he is ok to turn Komugi as a casualty out of spite.
His best friend is a ex assasin, but when they met He didnt care about that. Killua in the story could be killing a bunch of innocent people if he wanted to follow his family business but as long as Gon consider him a friend He wouldnt move a finger.
@@santiagoparodi2294
I 100% agree with that, but that makes him a selfish, hypocritical child, not a psychopath.
I hate this argument. I've seen it so many times "no gon is actually not crazy or wrong because he's doing it for the mission" gon doesn't care about the mission. He's a hypocrite for doing the same thing he despised the phantom troupe for and he's just tapped for sacrificing his own live for being high in emotion. I'm not bashing on the charachter. I'm just stating what the charachter has done and I have no problem with it. Gon is still one on my favorites cause his arc is so interesting
@@santiagoparodi2294 This where I don't agree with what you said gon this whole time sill thought kite could be saved he wasn't trying to kill pitou he was trying to fight him to get him to heal kite which he said to him in the first place. Then you see this ant healing this person for their own personal gain you expect him to trust him and see that as fair when at any moment that ant could regain his nen and take all of you out
I don't see Gon's anger here as hypocritical at all, as wrong as it might be. To me, it seemed that his anger was coming from having someone ask for virtue when they themselves didn't do the same when they had the choice to do so. Having someone ask for mercy, self-control, and compassion when they themselves didn't have a shred of it when they hurt others-that kind of contrast can cause so much anger and bitterness that doesn't leave much room for reason. It's essentialy the same as with the saying "those that live by the sword die by the sword" it's not about life or death; it's about having the nerve to ask for something you haven't given others when you had that same choice.
As always loved your reaction and waiting for the next one.
THANK YOU, THIS IS A PEAK RESPONSE ‼️‼️
To be fair Kite (and them) were going to kill the ants. Pitou attacked to defend the King.
Their objectives don't really matter, since it has been established since the beginning of the arc how vicious and bloodthirsty ants are. They will do their duty to protect the queen/king and colony when they have to but will kill for the fun of it the rest of the time even at the risk of hierarchy collapse of the colony such as the case with colt and rammot, while colt killed to protect and serve rammot killed for the pleasure of it even going as far as staking his victims rather than taking them as food for the queen there are few exceptions like colt and meleoron but the majority of ants just enjoy the killing. the same holds true with pitou from the moment it was born it sought to kill, and it was never shown that it did it to protect the king rather it did it because it enjoyed the fight and the kill so much so that it tried to bring kite back from the dead just to fight again. It was always bloodthirsty and the only reason it suppressed its blood thirst was not to endanger the king.
Sorry for the long reply I kinda rambled on .@@axllopez337
that might be true for most of the ants, but Pitou is one of the royal guard. Still is a valid point tho@@xghost9902
16:25 Yup, exactly. Kids have a harder time understanding other people's perspective. There was an experiment of this in real life. Gon only sees his perspective. Only the people important to him are important. You only begin to see all sides when you mature and Killua is more mature because he had to because of his upbringing and being tortured. It makes sense for Gon to behave more like a kid because he's never experienced loss and difficulty before losing Kite, he was a happy kid on Whale Island
This is one of my favorite episodes because it shows very well how much of a monster Gon has become. His rage was voiced incredibly. This episode also foreshadows arguably the greatest episode of the whole show …
Well gon is overdramatic and so childish tbh, the worst thing is he can't even beat morel disciples and act like the most strongest person with that anger lol. worst episode of hxh imo
well he is the strongest person there right now without a doubt @@zeoshiro5033
nobody cares@@zeoshiro5033
@@zeoshiro5033Oh my god, imagine a child acting childish. Completely out of character.
This ep didn't foreshadow 135 sorry
omg Lindsay's point around 19:00 was SOOO GOOD
Also Lindsay having seen through Gon from the beginning is like parallel to how Togashi saw Gon in the beginning for his developments. There was an interview where he admits that he always thought Gon was not right in the head based on the motivations he wrote for him and it's fascinating how the hints were sprinkled in ever so slightly throughout the series. You guys mentioned Wing but then there's also Zepile the auctioneer calling him dangerous because of his biased curiosity, Green Island dodgeball game where he was perfectly okay with the pain Killua was feeling (and he was too) but never taking the time to confirm his emotional state, or when Kite was seriously doubting Gon's view about not caring for those who call each other trash and quoted internally asking "what happens if you meet an ant who cares for another?". In hindsight all of this now is obvious but during the journey of watching Gon's development, his naive innocence largely overshadowed this side of him because everything ended up being okay and "morally" fine in the end which I think is where most people find this behavior jarring due to the HIGH stakes and very real threats both Gon and Killua are facing.
It was a gesture killua recognize as his background of being an assassin, he could've seen that gesture on many people he killed
The final image of the opening says it all... Gon looking up with determination and resolutely... Killua looking down Killua looking down flooded, tormented and wanting to help Gon
The stress that i felt when watching these episodes was unimaginable. Like i felt every emotion in every second of them. Pure perfection. Also very great reaction from Lindsey i felt her tension as well
People calling gon a monster, i would say more like a human. Saying he is hypocrite for caring more for kite than komugi, but everyone is like this who do you care more for your best friend or family life? Or some random person? How many people the king already kill? And we didn’t care they wasn’t important but komugi we saw her more we got to know her because of that people think gon is hypocrite if instead of komugi was a random person that we didn’t know, i am sure that 100% of the watchers would be “go gon fuck them up” “ you can trust pitou, pitou would definitely kill you when it can”. And don’t forget the trust too, gon don’t trust pitou so after finish to him, he will just wait to pitou do whatever he want? Wait 1 hour in a enemy territory? For someone that you don’t trust a bit heal someone you don’t know. If was in other scenario people would call the person that wait dumb. Pitou is stronger than gon and killua they didn’t have a chance in a fair fight. And if they lose they believe that more that millions of people would die
U have to remember as a watcher u're also getting familiar with the characters even the ants
So they are no longer just on humans side
So seeing gon disregard to pito and the snot girl
They think how can u be so cruel to them because we grown to like them
And that's how they became what they criticize
2:28 Oh, Gon’s def lookin all kinds of *Freecy*
Damn, Lindsay popped OFF on the discussion this time lol. You can tell how invested and validated she felt because she went 100 miles a minute for like 7 minutes straight.
It’s like what Carson said, when you come from the very positively-tinged shows of shounen to something a bit more seinen, it’s easy to not think this is how Gon’s character will turn out. For me, I took a lot of the warning signs just as the rationale of a child at Gon’s age. Without any real parenting to speak of and given an immense amount of ever-increasing power, I think this is a very logical trajectory for the character. Because it’s a story though, it’s easy to think on it in a meta way, and assume the writer won’t be quite so logical about the fallacies the main character would fall into.
Anywho, great reaction to a great episode!
Even Kite called it, he was like what happens when one of these so called ants cares for one of there comrades, the way you think is dangerous (something within that). So the person hes raging about even knew this.
My absolute favorite episode of HxH; Gon’s descent is legitimately my favorite development in a main character in all of anime, I love it so much. I also love how heart-pumping the scene is despite not even a single punch being thrown the entire episode.
And yet, at the same time, I’m so goddamned relieved to _finally_ find a reaction to it that isn’t literally cheering Gon on the whole way through, as if him essentially throwing what amounts to a tantrum and being a prick to his best friend somehow makes him a “badass”, completely missing the point that Gon is supposed to look like the bad guy in this scene in contrast to Pitou here.
Because, when you really break it down, Gon really only cares about the people that he _personally_ cares for, and often sees situations in moral absolutes (good/bad, right/wrong) depending on how blatant or beneficial they are to him- like how Gon will literally make peace with _serial killers_ (Binolt) if they benefit him in the moment, yet feel zero remorse in exterminating Chimera Ants if they mock the deaths of their “friends” (something even Kite pointed out as being a ”dangerous” way of thinking). Tunnel vision morality like that is how a child sees the world, and that’s kind of the point with Gon’s character.
It’s also like a lot of other reactors just completely stop caring about Komugi’s life on the line in favor of the short-term gratification of Gon beating the shit out of Pitou (while also completely ignoring Pitou’s most genuinely benevolent moment in the series), which has always really bugged me whenever other reactors get to this episode. Like, Kite knew the risks that lead to his death, and was prepared to face them. Komugi, meanwhile, is an innocent girl who didn’t ask for any of the shit she goes through, and to be completely honest, I feel like Kite would be rooting against Gon here for prioritizing him so heavily while completely shunning the reality of the situation. It isn’t “fair” like Gon says, but unlike most Shonen protagonists, the world they’re operating in doesn’t change based on what’s “fair”, and that’s what I love about HxH.
But yeah, I’m so goddamn glad y’all don’t ignore Gon’s problematic and hypocritical behavior- something immensely rare with other reactors. Carson and Lindsey actually understand the nuances of this show, and goddamn is it so immensely refreshing to see. 👍
that's not what Kite mean, Gon didn't hesitate because those had no respect for their friends, and that was a good thing, not on a moral standpoint, but on a tactical standpoint for the mission, the issue was, what will happen if an ennemy would be worthy of respect, would Gon still be able to do what need to be done ? in the end, the path of Gon would never expose the issue, but the path Knuckkles will, after the battle against youpi, Knuckkle wasn't able to fight him anymore, because he respected him.
Great comment
You put it together so well 👏
Gon is undergoing into the 5 stages of grief, this is the first time he's experienced someone dear to him died,
... we've seen denial before with him saying kite is still alive.
I don't think he's a psycho.. more on just full of curiosity with things, he grows up in an isolated island with him not knowing internet or even joystation aka Playstation in their world, that is why when killua said before that he's an assassin he didn't bat an eye.
And with his conversation before with the chameleon when he said he'll trust him but if he bettays him it'll be easy on him to get at him, remember with the bomber before he trusted him first then the bomber went for his throat
nah Gon is a psyco, remember his fight against the boomer, but i wouldn't say it because of this episode, his reaction is really natural, but because of anime standard, people tend to lose tract with real life standard
Gon’s va does so good in this episode!
It's so freaky how we've grown used to seing Pitou perpetually smiling like the smug cheeky powerhouse of a Royal Guard that they are, only to never see them smile again after the invasion begins
Remember, in the original version, Gon spends much more time with Kite, he wasn’t just some guy he met once years ago. He was the one who gave Gon his goal. Gon has known Kite longer than Killua, but just because you don’t know someone very well, doesn’t mean you don’t care what happens to them. (Especially if it’s someone important to your best friend.) Because they shortened Gon and Kite’s interactions, it can make Gon’s anger seem over dramatic or out of nowhere.
In the original meaning the manga?
@@ela7354 older version HXH
In every version, he literally knew Kite for less than a single full day prior to meeting him like 6 years later. It's just a matter of when that is mentioned.
it's always people judging Gon to be a monster freak after this ep, while all i see is someone who wants to eliminate the creature that did all the horrible things to Kite, you have to remember how much important Kite is to Gon, Gon considered Kite to be the piece that will lead him to Ging, and now that Kite is no longer there, Gon must felt really terrible not to mention when they saw the controlled Kite and how it was a frightening moment to a 12 yo kid,
and then you wanted Gon to trust pitou who is nothing but a monster to all the hunters involved in the arc.
how could you wait while all it takes is one order from the king to kill everybody! would you wait then or proceed your mission? also Gon actually asked Pitou to get away from the girl and fight him, if he was a monster he would just not care and kill her from behind, like how normally any human will do in a fight or war.
Anyways that's just my view and I love the reaction nonetheless
You're kinda right but remember, Gon also is 100% capable of forgiving people that did horrible things as long as they didn't do anything to him or his friends, he isn't a full monster like a lot of people like to say, but he does have something odd inside his head, he's mad AF with Pitou and only Pitou because of Kite but imagine if Pitou never killed Kite and he was still fine, he would only be in this mission because Kite would be and not because he really wanted to.
I don't like to clasify Gon as a "monster" but more like an "animal", he sees everything with curiosity and likes to adventure but if someone or something messes with his "pack" he would throw all hapiness out the window and over focus on going for the attacker's neck with all he has.
@@Rei-Maon Exactly, he got the beast inside him, but he won't unleash it just like that, you have to really hurt him or his loved ones, i actually just remembered how Gon showed mercy to all other ants he fought before, i don't think he killed any of them, the one if the factory was finished by kite! so yeah just don't mess with Gon and he will always be the lil cute smiley kiddo.
@@Rei-Maon That's called being human, most people will be vengeful and bear hatred towards someone who killed a person dear to them than someone who killed people they know nothing about or care for
People like to say he's a 'monster' (probably bc it sounds cool idk) but don't understand what it means or Gon's character at all, even though everything is in the dialogue
First of all, the word in JP translated as monster "kaibutsu" doesn't have the same meaning as the ENG word (btw trivia: about DrBlythe Gon uses the word "bakemono" also translated as monster, it shows that translation can't be 100% accurate to the original meaning), but even if the translation is kinda misleading, it just makes sense for Gon to experience those very human emotions given the trauma he just went through
IRL if your friend or family member just got killed (worse! you think it's your fault bc they protected you) and the killer used their body for sick experiments so they're not even dead but their soul is gone only the destroyed body left...and if you had hope that you can still fix it by catching the killer but then the killer begs you to show compassion bc they have to save their precious person... well basically if you just put yourself in Gon's shoes in that situation I believe anyone would go crazy
Gon's reaction and words "WTH??! How dare you? it's unfair...why should I care for your feelings when you didn't care about the person you killed and those who cared about him??" it totally makes sense and this is a human response, no animal/beast/monster would feel that kind of emotion...
He's going through the worst kind of grief/trauma and he's a 12 years old kid experiencing this for the first time, in the HxH world which makes the whole situation even crazier
When people are grieving and going through the anger phase they often say hurtful words to other people bc they believe no one understand what they're going through and they're right, it's a very personal thing... even 2 people going through the same loss, like a dad and a mom losing their child or 2 kids losing a parent or 2 persons losing a common friend, would react differently.
Gon is right, Killua is able to stay levelheaded bc his feelings towards Kite are different, he's feeling Gon's pain more then anything really.... so he's able to stay calm and reasonable and see that listening to Pitou is the better option...
but Gon is too affected ...and even in that state he's self-aware! he realizes that he's not in the right state of mind but he doesn't want to be reasonable in that moment bc it hurts too much
he even thought Pitou was torturing Komugi and got those images of what possibly happened to Kite (it's a double trauma to actually be able to picture what exactly happened to Kite)
Pitou wants the king to stay "who he is"....hearing those words when Kite is not himself anymore bc of Pitou has to drive Gon crazy with anger...Pitou who still barely understands human emotions ("this thing") doesn't realize the audacity of those words
When he started his jajanken Gon was already thinking "I don't care anymore", forgetting that he wanted to keep Pitou alive long enough to heal Kite.. he's GONe, not able to think anymore... here is the prologue of his physical transformation, but he still stopped bc of Killua's words! so Killua was definitely useful and important..sadly he wasn't there the 2nd time...
Gon is a "kaibutsu" bc he's able to do THAT! with nen, bc of his extraordinary potential, not bc he's not human inside or a psycho
What he said to Killua wasn't ok (glad he apologized later), saying that he "has it easy" and that he doesn't care was mean, but I understand he wasn't in a good place at the moment having to swallow his rage for Kite's sake...
Grieving is harder for the one who's the closest to the deceased(=Gon), but those around(=Killua) suffer as well bc they care and have no idea how to help or ease the pain.... that's just how it is!
Killua is a great friend. Gon is not a bad friend he's just suffering too much.
The writing of this episode is god-tier bc the emotions are so relatable and the VAs did an outstanding job!
This might be where a lot of this conversation breaks down:
Psychopaths are still human.
Animals can still feel love and pain and trauma. (Gon is often compared to or likened to animals as are all good Hunters)
And the behaviour of children can often be psychopathic because they haven't had time to properly integrate with society. In fact Gon's entire character, if not the entire world of hunter x hunter is based on the rejection of societal expectation, which is what socializes children. So Gon rejects this, and then gains the power of an adult without having to grow emotionally in order to balance this. Comparing Gon's transformation to Kurapika's Emporer time against Uvo really brings Gon's lack of morality into question. Even Kurapika felt sick.
Gon has been through trauma, he is reacting in a very biased way to this imagery. Which yes is fair if the person who killed someone you love was in front of you, you'd have some things to say at the very least lol
Gon is going through a rough time, that doesn't make him a psychopath. The reason people liken him to a psychopath is because he does not often consider the lives of those who are not kind to him and more than a few times shows a lack of concern towards the past transgressions of murderers and other psychopaths. The only times he takes issue with such things, is when it directly affects himself or those closest to him. If it doesn't he could not spare a thought to the victims or the transgressors negative impact. He doesn't just ignore these things, what's significant is his complete lack of awareness of them.
He does not forgive murderers for murdering, he does not think of them as such beyond his experience with them. If he didn't see it, it didn't happen unless it affects him.
This is what a child does. But if someone thinks or behaves this way as an adult, they could be referred to as a psychopath. Definitions of Psychopath and Sociopath are very tenuous when talking about fictional character, since their actions are predetermined by the author, and both are classified as Behaviour Disorders, meaning you're not examinine how their brain works so much as how they interact with the world, so it's really just a buzzword in this context anyway.
This episode harkens back to episode 2. When they were faced with the dilemma on who to save. Their son or their daughter to which Gon never came to a conclusion on. This situation is riddled with the psychology of that question
I've been waiting some days for this one since I saw how close you guys were to this episode.
swear to god when i watch this ep for the first time i didn't get the feeling, chills, emotions probably coz as a kid no not actually a kid prolly 16-17 somehow I'm still at the type of viewer that love fight scenes or actions more than a drama or the story line and the build up of what was and what will be, but now THIS IS ONE OF MY ANTICIPATED EP FOR REACTIONS AND I JUST LOVE WATCHING THOSE ❤
Take a moment to hear the voice acting I’ve never heard it better than this
Great reaction! I really enjoyed your discussion. There are numerous excellent videos exploring Gon's questionable moral and problematic behaviors. A lot of people share similar feelings with you.
I don't think I have seen you guys this silent in a recation ever lol. absolutely gold
The window represent Gons mindset
Psycho gon is best gon. Such drama, much passion. Probably, likely. . .lol. Great reaction and post discussion btw.
The narrator was spot on. because of Pitou's lack of resistance, Gon was left without a clear target for this immense rage he has been cultivating for so so so long. I honestly can't imagine something more frustrating. And it perfectly shows in the animation, the voice acting, the mix bewteen sadness and rage. This was such a beautiful scene.
Also it perfectly shows how much Gon has changed. Gon from episode one who would help anybody and knows all life is precious, has been corrupted by the guilt and rage of letting Kite die.
Amazing story telling.
Love the title and as Lindsay predicted from the start nothing can stop Big brain Lindsay
Phew, that was…
for lack of better words…
*INTENSE*
even if gon not be a kid he is right i mean she kill kite in very sadistic way and also why he will trust her? bc this girl is important for king ? i mean it's not gon's problem yea i understand about ants evolution but even after that gon was kinda right about this situation.
The episode has arrived. This is a rollercoaster of emotions
What do you guys think about Pitou in this episode? Pitou became my fave anime character cuz of this episode 🔥
100% waifu
Megumi Han, there will NEVER be another VA who can do this, best single VA episode bar none.
The part when gon is asking why always gives me chills
Because of the intensity of his aura
Without saying much it tells you how much potential he has
Gons voice actress did such a good job hear, love this episode great raection
Indeed I agree with what you said about this episode
Favorite episode in anime, been years still hasn't been topped.
Second favourite episode of HxH. Absolute masterpiece
lindsay,You are really good at analyzing characters especially gon. she's watching this for the first time too, I couldn't guess what was going on when I was watching this for the first time I was just enjoying myself watching gon losing his sh*t
(Been waiting for this one since the beginning, love your reactions you both❤❤)
thanks so much for watching!
glad you liked it!
Well i understand killua's rage. After all Kite was like a father to Gon and it was also because of Kite why he really went out to become a hunter to find hia dad.
Yet till today i don't understand Gon's true character. He is a kid who was brought up with love and care by his aunt free from war and crimes. But killing was okay for him since he was a kid(although he is still a kid). I don't understand how he became who he is even today.
megumi han the goat
I still can't believe he also voiced Arima Kana
the moment Gon said: i want that one.(a while ago) it was already too late to stop him.
Gon has his own perception of what's good or bad but he never understood what's right or wrong
and he's now the most dangerous and unpredictable character in the whole series.
On the other side, Killua is so hurt hearing Gon's words because he's smarter and wiser while considering Gon as his only true friend and trying to save him before losing control and becoming a monster.
This episode has maybe the most intense scene that has been made in anime !!
Gon is unfamiliar with loss, its because of pain and also lack of any discipline and getting his way all the time he didnt have proper stoppers. Combined with the inly father like figure in his life. I dont see Gon as everyone says as evil or irrational. Togashi knows exactly how to portray someone fighting their raw emotions unprepared for the first time. Seeing it flare over and over because its easy to give into it. Its crazy how relatable this is. Its definitely a lack of experience and maturity that can't be placed on Gon. You can't expect a child holding a sword to be responsible and then call him a tyrant when he hesitates in his first complex encounter.
Damn this episode is really good. And ive watch it for hundred times
Pitou took all hatered of gon and kite turned into.....means total waste of hatered
Pitou developed so much in all these few episodes pitou could be amazing chimera ant alive Imo She (I know gender is not known but still) grew on me as a character from when king askd all royal guard for his name suggestion her ans I saw the intention of protecting king's as humanoid way
Gon was going crazy
Gon is someone who do anything for the people that matter to him example when Gon woke up he confronted Killua's old brother without thinking of his own safety and when Killua failed the Hunters exam it was Gon, Kurapika and Reece who risked their lives to bring Killua back. We must remember Kite is like a father figure to Gon and sometimes Killua's background as an assassin makes him poor as reading emotions as a friend Killua should have picked up that now is not the time to be cool and calm about someone who hurt someone you love(Kite).
Something that I wonder about this scene is what if gon and killua actually took Pitous legs too and maybe only left them with their left arm? Like would Pitou still be able to use Doctor Blythe?
Maybe, for saving the girl. But the main objective of gon is to heal kite. They don’t want to risk it if they hurt pitou. Even if pitou is strong enough to live without limbs, she needs much energy to perform healing
Tbh I interpreted it as; Kite was the one to find Ging! That has been Gon’s ONLY aspiration, besides becoming a Hunter. When Kite died, that was a step back in his plans of locating his pops
You should watch the 1999 ver, gon spent more time with Kite in the beginning of the series
i cam by coincidence, this girl reaction make me love to watch her all the time she is reallllly great , subed
Remember that Gon does not use logic tools to observe most of the situations, that led to a scene where the 🐜 monster looks more humane than an emotional Enhancer Nen user kid
Lindsay: Deeply exhales for the 10th time
Me: same girl same
😭
He may have GON crazy but I’m GON buss for the reactions… yeah I’m GON see myself out after that one
@@BOLDcast yeah I’m sorry you had to read that💀 BTW I loved the reaction and discussion! Lindsay looking stressed out the whole reaction was S-Tier LMAOOO
Oh the title of the video🤣
The greatest episode and greatest reaction❤
Does anyone else think that a physical altercation between Gon and Killua and one of the Hunters getting between them and stopping them would make the show even better? It would in my opinion.
Calling a kid who is having a mental and emotional breakdown due to extreme stress and turmoil on top of a mountain of self-worth and self-esteem issues that most adults would struggle with a hypocritical psychopath/sociopath is just unfair. I'm disappointed with the lack of empathy for his character. The situation is so much more complicated than just "Gon is in the wrong".
our opinion is more complicated than just "Gon is in the wrong."
@@BOLDcastyour opinion is exactly that 😂
Shiiii the monster is OUT
Zeno muy sabio, cuando le dice adentro saca tus propias conclusiones
I mean a lot of people would be like Gon in situation like that... I often can't sympathise with people dying in my country 'cause there is a lot of them... As sad as it sounds, it's kinda truth😢 I understand tragedies for people who connected to them but i scroll past these messages really quick and remember names of very few. I watch in synch with reactions so i don't know, but it's kinda heavy on my mental health, so maybe Gon is keeping it to himself, although right now it doesn't seem like it... Well it's was heavy but this year s my perspective on the theme
CHILLS!!!!
gon is still not able to understand that people who hurt others are also capable of doing acts of friendship
Gon being that selfish (when talking to Killua) is something hard to forget
Overreacting for killua coz he is cute ? Grow up a pair lol
@@hafezeto4888How is that overreacting?? Also did you just reduce killua's character to just "cute" 😭
Killua's plan was for Gon and him to fight together. And that would have pretty much ended them both. Gon's action saved them both, even though it was not meant to happen that way.
Gon... the human become a Monster....
Lindsay hits the nail of the head. That's why Gon is one of my fav. Characters in HxH because he showed fucked up behaivor from the beginning, that most ignored because of his MC status XD
its rlly funny to me that nobody except lindsay noticed it on their first watch, because when i was like 10 watching hxh for the first time, even i was like "that boy ain't right" gdhfhghgdf
Hisoka would've loved to be here lmao
never clicked so fast yo
I don't see what is wrong with Gon. I think this is a normal response to this situation.
,,Killua left.He's GONe''
me: No he's Killua huahuahua
Lindsay it’s the most intelligent reactor out there, hands down.
i love gon🥰
Gon is talking like pitou couldn’t one tap him, if she wasn’t healing kumogi
Well this gon right here would lose to pitou yes but we know what happens jn the end
Lindsay ❤❤
best anime arc ever!!!!
Its as though Killua and Gon have swapped their characteristics. Gon has slowly but surely become what ants are. He is only interested in the things he cares about.
Remember in the hunter exam, many people were dying and Gon wasn't even caring about it at all.
for the algggg
❤
gon wasnt surprised when killua said he is an assassin, a cold blooded killer for money. probably because gon doesnt care morals or he is far worse than an assassin.
Lindsay doesn’t know what awaits her
gon would've won right here if he asked her to tear herself apart until she was barely alive
I think he said "get away from her" for the same reason the old men waited - to not hurt someone they had no business with.
he thought pitou was doing the frankestein thing it did with kite
Gon character is more human or normal than regular protagonist like Naruto o goku because it shows humans flaws and like not everybody is just good or bad
Yall gotta rewatch the anime bro cuz gon doesnt only care about ppl that matters to him like what are we watching 😭 komugi doesn’t deserve to die here gon is definitely not mature when it comes to emotions but that was it nothing else😭 that’s not twisted at all he just has internal conflict with himself because of the grief that he is feeling yes that’s not a good way of handling the situation but that’s not twisted at all yall overreacting on that😭 Im surprise gon didnt kill her right there acc that’s super growth😭
I'm here to witness you two witness peak
The only thing that had always bothers me a bit about this situation is why Gon care this much about kite? I understand he likes him and he's a kid and kite seems like the only way for him to connect with his father but dawg why do you care this much u literally don't know him u guys just met, I know they met when he was 5 but still.
Gon met Kite when he was young and had a long time with him before the series begins, you should prob read the manga. Also, if you think like that then what about the King though? Why would he care so much about this little girl he just met?
their interaction when he was young was much more in depth than this version of the anime depicts, but its also that Kite represented a connection to his dad that made Gon feel more connected to his own roots. Kite was Gon's cool Uncle or older Cousin that taught him a lot and could have guided him a lot more than he did, but that was taken too soon. And as we see at the end of the show:
Gon hooks back up with Kite's crew, to help them with all the work they do over there.
@@logical6317I read the manga and what "long time" you talkin about? That interaction in chapter 1 was only that time. Kite may be portrayed as important but his screentime is just not it for me.
@@ht4169 Since Kite was connected to Ging, and Ging led them to him, Gon expected it to be his mission to assist Kite in his endeavour. All in effort to prove his worth as a hunter to Ging, the hunter. Not being able to save Kite, and in fact believing he was the reason for his death since he was weak made him feel enraged and worthless. That's why Gon became completely suicidal in his final fight cause it didn't matter to him anymore, and he will do whatever it takes to get back his worth again, be it death.
Did she put contact lenses in her eye or is it heterochrony?
Peak x Hunter.

1部の外国人HUNTERHUNTERやゴンの性格など、何も理解していないのが残念です。ワンパンマンのように単純なストーリーが好きな人は何も理解出来ないだろう。
