I love the fact that you realize how insane getting his arm back is. Just think about the implication, Greed Island as a whole, just speaks a lot of Ging, and where he currently stands in the world.
I've seen very good analysis about how Genthru uses manufactured insanity to make sure he always gets the upper hand in a negotiation, but he doesn't know how to react when confronted to someone like Gon who's genuinely everything he pretends to be himself. A funny thing I always like pointing out, is that Genthru and his team were fucked no matter what. The Nen exorcist needs to clear the Nen beast and the troupe is ready to accept any condition to hire him. That means that if Genthru's team had beaten Gon's team, they would have been slaughtered by Hisoka and the Phantom Troupe the second they're ending the game (since Hisoka is negotiating with the exorcist around that time). Taking a Rock to the gut might have just saved Genthru's life.
It's not 'manufactured insanity' ...for people who play it safe, you don't need much to appear insane. Whoever is willing to go further than the other will be the more insane.
@@emanueladadarlat3159 Of course it is. His talk of insanity is a rational choice. Therefore by *definition* it's manufactured insanity. "for people who play it safe, you don't need much to appear insane" You've literally just proved my point by showing how that fake insanity is a rational choice for Genthru. Therefore it's manufactured.
@@Arkayjiya When you say 'manufactured' it feels like saying he fakes his insanity, which is not the case. He is simply willing to go further than the other.... yet it is not just a bluff, he is actually making a choice to go that far. . Also, the 'being insane' is a matter of perception. It has less to do with the one 'playing insane' and everything to do with the one perceiving it as such .....reason for which bluffing insanity would unlikely get the desired result, being flimsy and un-insane-like. Not the real thing. Not intimidating at all. So again, Genthru is not just bluffing, thus I would not call his insane manufactured.
@@emanueladadarlat3159 Of corse he fakes it. He's lying about being insane. As you say he's merely willing to go further than his opponents. That's not insanity. At most he's a psychopath, and psychopathy is a personality disorder, not a mental disorder so not insane. And he's not even really the case as he has empathy for his friends so he's not even a psychopath. He's just a piece of shit who goes around calling himself insane because it makes other people more likely to agree to what he says. Essentially he's a bully, that's not insanity. As opposed to what you say, it is a bluff. You're confusing all he does with insanity. Most of what he says isn't a bluff, but it's not insanity either so that's not supporting your point. The insanity specifically however is a bluff. If it wasn't, he would not have tried to surrender to Gon at the very end. Gon called his bluff and won thanks to that. If Genthru had truly been insane and unable to be reasoned with, he would have tried to use countdown on Gon the moment he was about to get hit with Rock to ensure mutually assured destruction. Instead, Genthru chose to surrender because that was the most rational option available to him. Because he's not insane, he's rational, he's perfectly mentally healthy.
@@Arkayjiya Meanwhile, Gon needlessly risks his entire life to land a single hit on Genthru, to "give him a good scare." Brother, you're not "giving him a good scare." You *are* a good scare.
Gon is so selfish, but only in the sense that he wants to do things his way. He is simultaneously super kind and will give it all for his dear friends.
notice how Gon continues to not be truly punished for his selfish behaviour, between the Hanzo fight, Canary fight, escaping Nobunaga in Yorknew, the Dodgeball game, and now this. It's really interesting to me, this portrayal of the purity of a child in such a negative light.
Tbf in most of these he got beat tf up, but what would be a very harsh punishment for others only act as a fuel for Gon. He's very hard to control, he's stubborn, selfish and has little self preservation, so not everyone knows how to make him feel guilty.
+the important thread: the escalating risk and injury he subjects himself to 😵💫 this regular escalation of danger and/or brutality invites a crazy ominous sense regarding Gon and his luck running out... 💀
This is why when people say “but he doesnt learn” as a criticism, I facepalm. That’s the POINT. Not every character has to adhere to the generic coming of age/hero formula.
Indeed. Everyone says they love Gon, that he's a great character, and that he is good. But he isn't good at all. He is very selfish, evil, and a badly written character.
> badly written? Throughout the story, it shows Gon's descent into darkness because of his abandonment issues, simplistic animalistic nature of how he perceived good and bad, using and abusing people to complete his goals if he's locked in. That is such a great way to subvert expectations of the mc and his luck will soon run out hopefully be greatly punished for it.
Genthru said something about insanity and how he’s insane in an earlier episode as intimidation to one of the other Greed Island players but he was not prepared for the actual insanity Gon brings 💀
Gon vs Genthuru is one of the greatest fights in the series. Unfortunately it’s overshadowed by the fact that not many people like Genthuru as a character and an antagonist

Gon sacricifing his arm just to land a hit was such a shocking moment. Even watching it now I get the chills

5am in the morning, some tea, and watching these reactions. Not a bad start heh

This is sick because Genthru was recently confirmed to be in the upcoming HxH fighting game nice timing lol
What's the game name?
@@cocophyHxH Nen impact look up Jwong’s recent video about it
@@cocophyNen Impact i believe, it's like a marvel vs Capcom type of game if what i heard is correct
@@cocophyHunter x Hunter Nen Impact
@@dou5397 not just MvC like, its from the same developers of MvC3/UMvC3/CvT.
yup we officially are closing in to the legendary arc guys cant for the love of god wait for his reaction
Genthru will never forget about Gon, just like Zeke got traumatized by Levi 😂
this kid's... totally insane..!!
I genuinely love how terrified you look at 4:49 Gon is INSANE!!
Really important episode for Gon's character. I never doubted you'd appreciate it
halfway point in the series already, wow!
You know what's funny on a rewatch? What Gon did he called a "great idea" lmao
:))))

You just made my day 20 times better!
JAN KEN
Just before my workout, thank you.
Extra motivation 💪
Get it bro
4:45 this scene on the manga was worst. You can see the bone
Great discussion!
I'm curious Im, if you intent to read the manga beyond the end of the anime. :-?
Like I said before in Yorknew, its going to be hard picking shots for the end discussion 😅
Halfway through 🎉
Yippie
When push comes to shove, gon puts his own interests first, yet he once again gets off relatively Scott free…
Yet another insane moment of Gon, only 1 card to go!
great reaction
My bedtime. I'll see it tomorrow during breakfast ❤.
Still no Dr Who?
Gon is crazy!
OMG i hope you haven't read all of the comments because people really got carried away with spoilers
Sacrificing limbs....who does that remind you of...? :-?
36:07 things will indeed become more dangerous
Osu!
nice
