Out of Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio... Gon was the only one who didn't understand the pain of loss until Kite had died.
your name lives up to the legends
Facts but honestly it didn’t need to happen if Kite had told him before had he can come back 😂😭 So Gon lost kinda did all that for nun if u think on it which ig was the lesson Gin was tryna teach him before hand but I still don’t understand why it wasn’t told to them before hand given how bad ass the ability is
Who did killua loose
@iskasaciid5352 The closest thing I can think of is Killua having to live like his little sister didn't exist or living with the inability to free the person he loved the most.
Nice thought, though this would go to show how mentally unprepared gon was to follow his fayhers path
One of the tings I liked about the Chimera Ant Arc is that shows Meruem acts more like a sane and civilized person, while Gon and Netero act inhumane and monster like.
Meruem the monster, learns to be human. Gon the human, becomes a monster
That was the theme of the that arc Netero becomes a monster an embodiment of malice to save the human race and meruem sit down for a civilized chat, gon goes in to total destruction route where pitou give its life to save the king the human show there true innate nature whereas the monster shows there truest side.
@@daiblo.dshadowdon't act like pitou is good at all mereum maybe but pitou was a complete monster
@@swaydemon7988 hence why he mentioned Meruem.
@@swaydemon7988I mean, maybe not to the standards that we hold as humans, but she executed her duties as a royal guard to a T, better than Shaiapouf (who wanted to go behind Meruem’s back and kill Komugi) and Youpi who showed a teeny bit of Mercy in one or two instance based on respect for the way the invading humans fought with everything they had when he could have killed some characters. The chimera ant society and morality system is different from human society and moral system. If anything, this arc showed both systems and positives and negatives, times when it’s people acted “good” and “evil,” but sometimes morality and society come down to a matter of perspective. As humans we have been raised in ways for centuries that make us act and think as we do today (with some variations among different groups), but the chimera ants have lived a different way for years and years and probably had to I order to adapt and survive their unique circumstances.
That last part actually hits. "He's not one note, you just can't read the sheet music."

@NumberTobi ion know
I always resonated with Killua more. So I saw Gon as the friend you think you want, but not the one you need. Killua latched onto Gon to have direction and they are happy for a bit. Killua covers for Gon and protects him through Heaven's Arena. Helping Gon in Yorknew gets Killua into trouble even he isn't strong enough to handle. Then in Greed Island, Killua becomes so used to helping Gon do what he wants that it comes at the detriment of his own health. He ruins his hands to help Gon. Gon nearly killing himself to beat the Bomber shows how he could easily die, which would be a massive trauma for Killua. In the Chimera Ant arc, Killua sees he can't protect Gon, cannot get Gon to stop, and then lets go of Gon after ensuring Gon will survive. To me, it is a story of Killua realising that he needs to take care of himself and find things for himself separate from others.
But what do I know? Gon always creeped me out. He would like you even if you were a murderer, so long as you were nice or useful. Going after Hisoka to get revenge for that punch showed how easily he gets obsessed, and nothing would stop him from doing it. After the Hunter Exam, I knew Gon is the last person you ever want to get on the wrong side of.
Wow never seen it like this! Great perspective
Gon would make a dope villain.
He could very well be in the future @@justifano7046
Anybody notice within each Arc, Gon either breaks or loses one of hands?
And kite loses his arm too
And the degree of damage to his arm increases each ark
@katleholenkoane4364 damn that next ark is gonna be crazy
Yeah it's well documented acc. Not something I figured out on my own tho
I love how you explained Gon as a MC. He isn't your typical MC who gets stronger when a dire situation occurs. He Is what every child has to go through, growing up in the real world
I mean so far I still think he still fits the trope mostly. He does get strong enough for basically all obstacles each time. Now yes there are times when he is cleared out of his league but that happens with every MC in an Shonen show. Every character faces crazy odds at some point and they lose but they come back stronger. Gon mainly took Ls to Hisoka. But it seemed like they were building for more but the story still isn't over.
Gon has the vibes of a villian at the beginning stages of their development, kind of the opposite of killua. I always felt we'd see them full switch up by the time they reuinite, gon will be a cold blooded killer (he kinda already is) and killua will be more in line with the typical shonen protagonist.
exactly, that's what i always say, during chimeras arc, Gon failed as a MC and Kirua became the MC and the next arc really solidify that stance.
Yea, it’s a pretty nice change tbh… btw genuine question, what’s with the them/they’s?
@@dzpakBecause referring to multiple people with pronouns is convenient.
sorry i didn't realise your first "them" referred to both Gon and Killua... i thought it was a new thing ppl are doing, and i'm just getting older and older
@@tristanalain9239
Honestly I just see Gon as a kid who threw a temper tantrum. And there was no one there to stop him. Because once he is healed he doesn't seem to have a bad view point of the world at least as far as I have seen.
Ahhh the Chimera Ant Arc
Where humans became monsters and monsters became human
Simplicity, negative development (or w/e the proper writing term is) aren’t bad things for a character when done right. Gon is alot more subtle and nuanced in his development as a character than most ppl are willing to give him.
I love this breakdown. Gon losing himself at the end was a perfect silhouette to his bright and optimistic counterpart at the start of the anime. I like the fact that hes written so differently from the typical shonen protagonist.
I also agree that the Chimera ant arc is the best arc of the anime. Id like if you could do a killua breakdown as well because his character development I also find interesting as his personality changes the more Gon loses that innocence and he comes to the realization that hes losing his friend slowly.
Quick question what makes him so different though then let's say Naruto? Naruto loses his cool many times and lets the nine talks out. Most of those rampages were solely emotional responses. I view Gons fight with Pitou to be right on brand. He has to end Pitou because of what he did to his friend. Naruto did the same to Pain. Ichigo gave up all his soul reaper powers to try and beat Aizen. To me is isn't that different
@@jacobhayes8324 Gon is different because how the story is written, his downward spiral is fairly obvious whereas Naruto and the others isnt. Naruto was born as an orphan and quickly understood how dark the world was. His story is more of a redemption-and-overcome-story by never giving up and fighting for what he believed in. Thats typical for most shonen MCs.
Gon on the other hand starts off innocent and optimistic and slowly loses himself as he comes to understand his own weakness and inadequacies more and more. In the end, he still defeats his enemy but it cost him everything to the point where i question if it was even worth it to begin with. Its almost sad
"losing his friend slowly" damn. this is so sad. but I have so much love for hxh. honestly I think shinobu and gon have a lot in common. The only difference is that shinobu actually lost those she cared about, meanwhile gon never had them.
u ramble so bad
the opening to this video was beautiful, honestly. I think that you did a really good job of explaining how people (whether they realize it or not) can be drawn to characters in media that resonate with them/their own personality!
Gon withstood a 3 hour ass whooping from a Ninja. Respect.
yeah he didnt poop that whole time. dont think theres something wrong with him??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? im serious no one can go without pooping for that long. also stop talking about onions im sick of it
I think the most alluring part of shounen MCs is their ambition. They all tend to have the same trait of an ambitious dream to become the best at what they do, which is something we can all relate to. While my goal may not be to become hokage or wizard king, i can relate to working hard to become good at what i do, and admire their ambition to truly become the best at their craft, a feat that most people will give up on at some point in favor of a more “realistic” goal. They never gave up on that ambitous dream and actually achieved it through blood sweat and tears
After Gon had met his dad Ging, his cousin Mito made him do 2 years worth of school work. 😂
Gon is so interesting cuz all the other main characters are more dark or realistic but they highlight truths of humanity. Kurapkia with the price of revenge and anger. Killua with his assassin origins and battle for agency. And leorio with his relatively simple goal of being a doctor but the grand idea to help everyone is willing to accept the risk if reaching that goal is a possibility. Gon is an innocent boy, while gift, is still just a boy. He doesn't understand what consequences are and how to deal with them. It's why we see him be selfish and later on lash out cuz all of this is new for him where as everyone else had a head start on the cruelty of their world.
I agree. That's why I just don't view Gon as this super complex character. He to me just seems like every other Shonen character, just able to not have anyone stop their tantrums.
most shone mcs are not realistic at all. they're kids but don't act like kids lmao
Gon didn’t get mad at the phantom troupe because they hurt people. He was mad because they hurt his friends (Kurapika). He doesn’t care about people doing bad things. For example, he was kind to the scissors guy in Greed Island even though he was a serial killer because he helped him and Killua.
That's a child for you. They only worry about what is involved in their own world. Anything else is just in the way or doesn't matter.
Boooooooyyyyy you COOKED with this one! My goodness. This goes up there only to be surpassed by your Meruem post
Gon's character development could be summarised in 2 sentences.
Gon didn't develop as a character. Until he did.
Did you know that Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum?
why did you comment 12 times 💀 one is enough
This Video made me realize that despite knowing HxH was an inspiration for JJK, that Gon and Yuji are written a lot more similarly than I originally thought. Yuji and Gon are both very sunny, just generally speaking good kids, and while their calls to adventure are very different, the way they both represent a loss of innocence is very similar. Gon experiences this loss in a more subtle, gradual method while Yuji has his torn away brutally quickly. I’ve yet to see all of HxH, and the parts I did see were several years ago, this video definitely put it on the list to watch seriously
I'm pretty sure the writer of jjk is a HUGE hxh fan too! I've seen somewhere that someone poked fun at how much hxh manga and merch he had
Ironically he was always strong enough to get in involved but never strong enough to help
I cant believe some People odnt get
how Gons Adult-Transformation, his big Power-Up works.
Him - "I held onto my child like innocence"
Me - "wasn't he sponsored by a seggs toy company"
I'm with you brother, I've wathched HxH 6 times, It just hits different on each watch through.
I love Gon above all the Arc types MC. His innocence was tested but it persisted on the Chimera Arc. I'm so sad regarding what happened to Hunter X Hunter. And btw, Nick do a deep dive regarding Sasuke Sarutobi on the other channel, please. Thanks. 😊
Gon is the best character in hxh and his story arc just reached it's midel point the thing is a don't think we will ever see his arc fully developed because of togashi health
Hunter hunter has some of the most deep and subtle characterization in anime that I feel is so under appreciated
I'd say he's exactly what you said my problem is mostly the fact that he sacrificed everything for pretty much a stranger I was okay for his anger and hatred but to literally forget his most close friend for his father's friend/student is just crazy to me sure he met him as a kid but he has like zer0 Memory of it 😶
Gon is a child. Children aren't mature. He responded as well as most kids will with no life experience or guidance.
@@jacobhayes8324 Yeah but even so he still had Guidance and when Killua was right there helping him through his tuff time he just ran away kids are often more observative so Gon should have known and felt Killua's Fear and Sadness towards him that he was Consoling Gon and Gon should've felt that cuz kids feel the emotions around them more than anything else
@@dragonflyswataswata5135 if you don't mind me asking what guidance did Gon have? I mean he had the guy who exposed him to Nen. But that was just mainly about how to use Nen. Same with Bissy. As far as I can see Gon just had peers that gave consult but he has no supervision at all. Killua had a structured upbringing so he is different anyway. I don't disagree with what you said completely I just feel like Gon is the embodiment of youth, innocence and blissful ignorance.
@@jacobhayes8324 Aunt Mito-
@@zashgekido5616 I will agree she was his mother like figure but I am curious of her overall structure of his life. It seemed like Gon mainly just lived out in nature and did what he wanted. Not that he was a bad kid or anything. I mean he left the house at like 11 lol.
Lol I love when u use out innuendos 😍😂 We understood what u meant about him being a top tho 🫢🤣
Gon is the result of when the MC didn't have the privileges of he's parents, he inherited nothing and most of he's powers are basically from he's hard work, this mirrors the reality that the world doesn't revolve around him
Never thought about Gon like this... Kinda makes me sad... But once again thank you NChammer23 for helping me with a totally outside the box perspective of one of my favorite animes👍👍
Definitely like how you broke this down. He one of my favorite MC’s and with plot armor he’s able to gain his nen back. Thank you again for another wonderful video
You do such a good job at analyzing these animes, past what I would have realized. Especially in terms of what the arcs meant. I’ve been listening to your HunterxHunter videos while farming for stone in Stardew Valley for the past few days (I have COVID, so, not a lot else to do lol🥲). I recently finished watching HunterxHunter for the first time and the show really really stuck with me, so I’ve been watching videos of HunterxHunter analysis and I gotta say that yours have been my fav to watch/listen to!! I can’t let the series go and I’m sad that it’s gone lol. It’s real nice to see someone appreciate it so much too, and also super interesting to hear your takes and analysis on everything!! Thanks for making these ❤
I greatly appreciate this character breakdown. Hunter x Hunter quite instantly became one of my favorite animes after 1 watch. Seeing Gon lose himself and become an adult reminded me of Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation.
It’s insane! I also find Gon amazing and he is one of my top favorite characters. So I am always surprised that people don’t find him interesting when I tell them he is my favorite!
"I live a child like existence" that's why you're the weeb commander & why we love you 😁
Mostly all protagonist Evolves however Gon Devolves.
2:56 man, I already respected you but right here is when you legit became one of my top 5 UA-camrs. I’ve watched your content since your TikToks became famous enough to be stolen and put on Facebook 🤣 you made it brother, congrats 🎉
Love Hunter x Hunter, but I'm not sure I got why Kite's death affected Gon more than any other until I watched this video. The way you put it made a lot of sense. Also, I know it'll be a while even after the current hiatus, but the longwinded scheming and exposition of everything on the big ship in the manga has made me miss Gon and Killua so much.
The manga is not continuing
@@cngotham4111 Really? Well damn... :(
@@odistabettor yea it sucks
I like your interpretation. I've heard some others say that Gon only saw people as those who benefit him and those who didn't. But that seems ridiculous to me. As you said, he was always shown to be trying to risk his own life to save those around him whether they benefited him or not. Now I know the magic number of how many times I need to watch an anime in order to get it.
Hunter x Hunter by far my favorite show/anime just perfect a simple story he told and how if you put yourself the reader as a 10-12 year old kid as Gon, you too would often make the same decisions or mistakes Gon does. We were all just children once in this big world and Hunter X Hunter shows humility at its best and its worst. I believe Togashi made that one character "Gon" to represent humans true nature and everyone else in the show are fiction characters/persuaders that one wants to be or lies in themselves.
You ate this review just a tad bit more than usual!. I see this is truly something you love. Great break down.
I have to say you had on of the best transitions for short form to long form content keep the good work up
Greed island was my favorite arc. I never read the manga but I may pick it up if I know it will actually move forward and not end in middle of arcs
In the manga kite was the one that Showed Gon his hunter's license and motivated him to become a hunter.
It'd be like in One Piece, if Luffy lost Shanks
Gon is a truly optimistic child facing the brutally of reality and displaying what happens often to innocent hearts not ready for the corruption world.
It honestly felt like Gon is on the path to be the final villain that anger he has is present well before kite died I don’t think the power hisoka sees in him is a good thing anytime some he cares about get injured or he has a strong opponent he’s always willing to sacrifice everything
It's possible I guess. I also think it's lack of maturity. Gon unlike the others wasn't raised with much structure. He was kind able to just go do whatever he liked. Killua was strictly raised to be an assassin. Gon is like an animal. Not harmful until you mess with it or something it cares about. I think many Shonen characters are this way. They usually just have safe guards to reel them back in.
dude the way you've changed my perspective on Kakashi and now gon 🤯🤯
Wait... There is a large group out there who think the Chimera Ant arc is bad?
The arc up there with Mareinford (as an entire saga of arcs) as the greatest story in shonen manga, if not fiction in general? What the hell?
Very crisp ending analogy, loved it. That eas a Danny inspired line
I absolutely love HxH and this vid was on point, Gon just couldn't deal with loss and give all his power away in a childish rage to get revenge
Ngl bro that last line was a barrrr
Gon is him!!! certainly not boring and hxh in general is a masterpiece
Dude, your videos are amazing! I love how you dive into philosophy of this, and explain it so beautifully and passionatley! You gave me new perspective on watching anime and life in general :D
Keep up the good work man!
I cant believe some People odnt get
how Gons Adult-Transformation, his big Power-Up works.
I feel like gon is relatable whilst meruem is kinda enviable.
Took today and followed your channel bro, literally the best UA-camr when it come to breaking down anime 💯
That he be my favorite main character to 2:27
2:05 I am a fan of these same characters too but because I'm envious of their positivity and optimism
"You just can't read the sheet music" BARS!
I have to say this real quick, i will be back to watch this. But your description of characters like Luffy and Gon hella mad me wanna watch OP so i am gonna do that and be back later!
The smile on my face when i seen the thumbnail 😁 love HXH
I never saw it that way but your point of view was very interesting 2 years ago when i discovered hunterxhunter i really enjoyed it and didn't totally get it at first I thought Gon was actually the type of mc to think about himself because to me it seemed like anything he did was to his benefit so he wouod always think about his life first especially in the hunter exam when he saw someone was about to get kilked and didn't do anything but there was definetely something more about him and I think you translated that very well your video made me understand much more about the character and the way the world he is in would affecr him is crazy.The chimera ant arc was my favorite it shows how losing someone important to Gon would affect him slowly turning into a monster while Meruem being a monster slowly becomes more human all of that while these 2 characters never actually met or interacted between each other at any point.All of that to said its a really nice video it explains well who Gon really is.
Remember. Gon threatened a blind girl if Pitou had disobeyed him.
I have never heard of anyone who makes these arguments against Gon. I have only seen him to be relatively loved.
Nor have i heard of many people disliking the chimera ant arc.
yes!!! always get so excited for hxh videos!
"He's not one note, you just can't read the sheet music." That is such a bar!!!
"He's not one note. You just can't read the sheet music." is a hard ass quote
How about a video on Medeka Box.
Off topic, I know, but you made me realize I'm so neutral about nearly every character in Bleach and yet still love the manga. I like Orihime, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Soi Fon, Mayuri, and then a couple of bad guys. I don't dislike any of the other characters or anything, just not super hyped about them.
On HxH, it's not an original idea for me to say Gon's character is the way it is either because A) it's a deconstruction and the point is to setup breaking Gon in the CA arc or B) Gon isn't the main character because there isn't a main "series" character. Instead, for any given arc(s), there's either no MC or it's Killua/Kurapika at the same time as Gon for the point of contrast. I mean, currently is Kurapika even the MC of the arc?
As far as development goes, I think you're spot on. You see all these changes from arc to arc, though for me I couldn't see it in earlier arcs until I saw it in CA. Then you see it was all foreshadowed and have that "ah ha" moment.
When I say that was a read…..whew. You opened and closed that library with sheet music.
I thought I was the only one who loved Gon (my favorite M.C.) Too.
Gon is a sociopath and selfish as hell.
Remember when he let that Serial Killer Get Away or when he held Komugi as a Hostage?
That sheet music line tho👌
Let's go
Can you do a video on all strenitter from bleach abilities?
...Not enough People remember the important Nen-Law that Aura naturally wants to stay in it's owners body so theres a Reduction in all Power and Efficiency the more it moves away. But even less dont seem to realize theres a giant Exception to this, which is the entire Type of Conjuration. Genthru and Kurapika are both absolutely unconcerned with Distance of their Victims and theres no way Togashi forgot something this big, so clearly, Conjured Things act as a sorta Battery.
This little realization is esepcailly all-important for those who wanna sell ther Nen
“ a well know but unfortunately religious analogy” lol geez
The part of the video where u say Gido is a Top had me on the floor dying😭😭😭
I agree, I think the chimera ant arc is the best!
Keep up the awesome work and videos Nick
We are changing the world around us simply by being ourselves and keeping our innocence alive.
The world does not know what to make of our paradoxical nature and is forced to adapt to our existence.
Thank God someone is finally giving credit to the writing behind gon I hate that people think he's just a copy of shonen mcs
Goin isn't the MC. He was just in the epilogue for world building. The real story is about to begin.
This is the Gon defense and the Chimera Ant arc defense I’ve been waiting for. I’ve watched HxH 4 times myself and was always blown away with people who thought Gon was bland or Chimera Ant was too long.
Dope to see someone else who gets it.
In the anime the narration really kills the chimera ant arc. I like all. The other arcs more
Agreed hxh was one if the first anime i watched when i first subscribed to crunchy
Wait wait wait, hold up. People think the Chimera Ant arc is boring and the worst arc in HxH?! Wow, I am truly floored. I feel the Chimera Ant arc is unquestionably the best arc in the story. But what do I know
gon is not just this base of innocence. he develops on it, u see the dark sides of it, like ignoring someone killed people before if he helps gon he is good etc.
Another point on gon is he has vague morals and still develops them. he takes everything at face value (subjective) so how does it effect him.
thats why he lets people die in the hunter exam but doesnt take lghtly that the spiders kill innocent people. its because his emotions are the difference.
does anyone remember the guy they met when buying stuff to get to greed island and meet this guy who is facinated by gon? thats what he was talking about.
his morals are not chained to societys morals. so his way of right or wrong will form around what is for or against his goals. and all this from childish innocence, because he doesnt even get that he is hypocritical. its very dangerous how he develops because he could see it like this: is it for my sake (helping me) thats good
if its against my sake (not good for me) than its bad. this is even influenced by his emotions. so if u kill someone and gon is happy because of it ur good
but if he is not happy about it u are bad.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
“I never seen that” that’s a understatement lol
I don’t get how people hate on gon he is a kid growing up the story starts off with him being care free and not caring and then in the middle of hxh gon is still care free but the stakes are high then in the end kite dies and he reilizes everything and because of not knowing loss turns in to a monster with no one with him to help in his hardest time, which turns him into a monster the worst of humanity trying to get revenge at any cost, which is shown through adult gon
Hxh is probably my favorite series but Yusuke is my number one MC
FUCKIN AGREED, BRO! HUG'S! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😍🥳🦍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🔥🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊❄️🌏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
There seems to me to be a connection between Gon dealing with dangerous realities of the HxH world and the G6 countries dealing with explorers trying to make it to the dark continent. I wonder if Ging will be happy, or horrified by what he finds.
Please do a video for Undead/Unluck, I rarely see it spoken about but it’s such a good story
Hey Nick great vid as always
I have a request that I and possibly others would like to see you bring to this channel and maybe even yo podcast could you also cover more non shounen jump anime like Vinland Saga, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Mob Psycho, Overlord, etc. It just seems so right to see you cover animes like these 👏😌
“Unfortunately religious” why such shade 5:54
I started out trying to hate hunter hunter. I tried. Gon is far more complicated than any Mc I’ve ever really watched, far more intelligent as well. The way he communicates with villains he truly tries to understand them. He has principles he tries to protect and he has goals but some things don’t matter to him at all. He is a child but a child actually growing up. He’s realizing why he can’t remain a kid. . . And finally he realize that none of this is a game. . . It’s for keeps
You should let Danny do a video on your channel and do one on his. Just randomly out of no where.
Lol you just made me realize I knew all the MC's side characters better in most anime
ANOTHER HXH VIDEO!!!!YES!!!
There's one more he needs to share his power with......... His captain! Man talk about dope! I'm not mad at the crazy rush to overpower everyone. Tabata just wants to finish his story before they yank him. They said they would soon.
I feel gon is not naive out of inexpirience but because he is so confident on his training and his friends abilities that he allows himself to be naive and hopeful. And he has this monster confidence because of his father because you see the way ging did things, by not being physically present he manages to cast a huge shadow around gon. By not being present in body ging became more present then if he was around and that instiled a tremendows sense of confidence in gon. Ging msybe caless but he is wicked smart and loves gon in his own way
Gon was never my favorite MC, but i have never thought that he was a one note character. I always understood his lose pf innocence i just didn't like his personality. There couldn't have been any other main character for Hunter Hunter so i believe Gon did his job well. And i want to see him again in the manga.
