    Also Ging's abandonment is actually a Buddhist virtue, which is represented in the story in the way it causes no harm to gon.

And in light of what another commenter has said, if Mito took custody of Gon from Ging then it was obviously because there was evidence to support the notion of Ging not being a good father. It's clear he was not made to look after a kid.

    • @ThatBoldStatement
      @ThatBoldStatement 3 роки тому +9

      Mito used the court system actually. Sure you can argue "Ging ain't scared of the po po or people coming at him" but then the story is something entirely different. Imagine he did take Gon regardless. Suddenly Ging is a wanted man who kidnapped a kid and is basically on the run. If he isn't running he is beating up the police or whoever comes and it looks even worse.
      Once it was portrayed that she used the court system to take Gon the story would be a mess if he still wanted to be with Gon.
      Why did a court do that? Good question. We'll never know. In the best light Mito said Ging is getting into dangerous situations and its no place for a kid. In the worst light he was a deadbeat who was terrible. But both are completely speculative

    That changes my perspective a bit. First as if Gon know that Ging didn't abandon him it means that he's not just wanting to be a hunter but he also likes to know his father. In 2011 version Gon portrayed not caring on his relationship with his father he just want to know what reason a father abandon his child.

    People always talk about morality as if it’s black and white. Morally good for one culture can be consider completely evil for another. That’s what Hunter Hunter is all about. Our hero’s that we follow are the bad guys for the chimera ants. I remember one scene where a human is pleading to Mereum and begging for his life and Mereum tells him when have you humans ever spared an animal being slaughter by the millions for our own selfish desires. We really think we are morally superior but no we are just as bad as the hunters or chimera ants in the anime.

    Thank you for doing this! Not everyone knows this either. Ging left Gon in his grandma care not Mito. Mito was 14 when she first met Gon. So fun to know a 14 year won custody over the dad. Or could been more later on. But still kind of cool still.

  • @TenebraeXVII
    @TenebraeXVII 2 роки тому +1

    Gon absolutely would not resent Mito for insisting that Ging leave him in the care of his grandmother and aunt because he knows that they both love him very much and took care of him and Gon's warped morality would cause him to view Mito as "a family member who helped me by raising me and enabled dad to go and do amazing things unhindered."
    As to the Ging who's built up versus the one we see, he's a mixed bag, split between the two ways we see people regard him. Kite and Satoz think the world of him as close student and dedicated colleague in the same field of study.
    Members of the HA in other fields tend to despise him because he usually makes no effort to interact respectfully with them and sometimes goes out of his way to antagonize them if he doesn't like them.
    The rest of his friends on the Greed Island team all greatly respect his vision and achievements but some of them (Dwun especially) can still be exasperated by his willingness to be completely unreasonable and arbitrary in pursuit of whatever he wants at that moment.
    Most of the people we see discuss Ging prior to his actual appearance have a slanted view of him emphasizing what's important to them about him where the real Ging as we see him operate isn't really any of those Gings but rather the split difference of all of those feelings about him.

    I actually have a small theory/head Cannon myself.
    I like to believe that gene had multiple children since he wanted multiple kind of successors so they can go to the dark continent or at least have a greater chance of going to the dark continent, at the end of the series, he says that he wants what he doesn't have, and it's most likely he did have multiple children so he could at least have a better of chance of going to the dark continent, plus, he said that he wants what he doesn't have, and if we're going with actual Canon here, gone is his only child, and son, most likely that he doesn't have a daughter, he would have a daughter since she doesn't have that or have multiple children in order to increase his chances of going to the dark continent. He didn't say what limits he has when going to the dark continent, he would have multiple children in order to increase those chances if one of his children doesn't end up going to the dark continents his life would have been for nothing. Well, of course, this is my theory. When referring to the anime a, of course, I have not read the manga, but gene in them, Anime seems like someone who is willing to accomplish his goal at any means necessary, no matter how long it takes, and even if that means having multiple children with may be multiple different women, he would do that in order to accomplish his goal.

    The problem I always had will be the lack of just writing the story and finishing it... this story effectively started in late 90's you can't expect the story or the characters to stay "true" to their nature when the writer is inconsistent and takes these insanely long breaks. Whether this is a good thing or a bad things depends on whether or not the story ever comes to a conclusion. But the characters and their motivations even their initially story arcs are bound to go off their original course because the writer is no longer the same person. ina way it is upsetting

    i feel like its best to just take it for what it is instead of trying to work around it with real life circumstances. like he can easily be someone who wouldnt want to abandon his kid, someone who can gain the admiration of some and the ire of others, and a selfish person all at once because people are just complex like that. his selfish drive to do what he wants can be inspiring to people like kite and satotz, but at the same time make him generally unliked by the people who take things too seriously. his desire to take his small child on his adventures shows that he cares about gon but is also selfish because of the dangers hes exposing him to, which also make mito seem reasonable because we know how dangerous the world of hunters can be.

    Knowing what I knew, the idea of Mito wanting to get custody of Gon given what a shit person Ging seemed... natural. It was a heavy and mature topic, and the sense that Ging was being displayed in a favorable way just sorta flew over my head. Simply knowing the kind of person he was beforehand completely reengineered how I absorbed that scene. I feel like they could have given us something great by recontextualizing rather than scrapping it entirely.

  • @ethanwilson1001
    @ethanwilson1001 3 роки тому +1

    Personal Theory: Ging didn't abandon Gon; he gave him to Mito. Ging isn't really Gon's dad - remember the time Gon had a chance to listen to the real story about his mother from Ging on the recorded tape, Gon stopped the playback. An obvious block from us learning more clues about his origins. Gon is actually a rescued child from a previous (undocumented) journey to the Dark Continent and handed to Ging due to an apparent blood relation (or found artifacts found near Gon when he was discovered). TL:DR - Gon is really Don Freecs who ate too much Nitro Rice and regressed back to an infant body, and his ultimate goal is to return to the Dark Continent and finish writing the second Journal of the Dark Continent (West). Thoughts?

    Man i remember thinking Ging was the biggest asshole dad for a very long time when i was first watching, but nowthat I have a child he feels more sad and sympathetic especially now knowing he didnt actually abandon Gon. Imagine being forced to give up your child because of your work and not being able to push back because you know theyre right. So you leave and they grow up without you and you cant go back because of the guilt of having left them in the first place. You then meticulously craft something for them so that they can grow and maybe even find you some day, but your own emotions and actions make you so afraid to confront them you start running away. Then next thing you hear is that theyre essentially on the brink of death and you just want to reject reality. I hope i wouldnt do the same but i think i get it

    My fan theory is Ging knows more then meets the eye.
    He doesn't care that Gon is dying because he already knows Gon will be okay. It's not crazy when you consider we've already seen someone who has the power to see the future. I don't think Ging has this power but perhaps someone he met or even Gon's mother who knows. But I mean Ging is still such a mystery at this point. I don't think Ging is a good person that's why I think if he actually thought Gon was in danger he would of done something.
    After all after Gon "losses" his powers it's Ging who tells Gon that he doesn't think so.

  • @julesrules5685
    @julesrules5685 2 роки тому

    my take on it is that yet mito did take custody over gon, but ging did *not* put any effort into defending himself or getting gon back, so it fits with the "yes he did abandon gon... but also no he didn't"
    i get why 2011 did what they did with ging, but i'm still very mad they cut every mention of kon and kite out of the story up until the chimera ant arc. and even so, they could have put a lot more info into the flashback. this leaves people who watched only the 2011 confused as to why gons drive to get kite back in the chimera ant arc is so strong because they don't know the sheer impact kite has on gons life. this is why i made my sisters watch the first episode of 1999 hxh to understand that reason better.

  • @kirbstomp8666

    I don’t defend the loss of kite in the first episode but I think ging abandoning gon is more interesting and makes ging a better character.
    Ging fills the sort of absentee father trope in anime. Characters like Goku and others are constantly forgiven or excused for being bad parents. During the early segments of hunter hunter, we kinda assume that ging must have some higher purpose or something because in other media they always do. But I love that ging really is just an asshole. Gon can forgive him and come to understand why he felt that he’d rather pursue his own interests but there’s no “actually he was secretly a good person/dad” moment and I love that.
    I think that the change is for the better

    let me break “the myth” for u guys,
    i ever worked for sensei, (the mangaka of hxh) for details im not going to go there.
    but idk why this being called myth by this channel, of in other channels (maybe)
    so basically for full understanding u need to read the manga. yes. if u want to have sometime for fun, with voices and audio, then add it with anime.
    at 2009 anime, the budget to make anime series was okay, but its better than 2011, so in 2011, the crew was renewed, and the budget are not that much as before, its still ok but not like 2009, ok.
    noticed the crew were changed rite ? from the drawing of the characters. to make competition with ongoing anime+manga that has better rating is hard, so they need to make cut in the anime “with necessary content” so for details, u need to search in the manga.
    and this explanation will be the same almost with all anime, “budget”
    paying 声優 or voice actors is alot lol
    so hxh just made adjustments
    but u dont have to be worried about this anymore, what u need to be worried is, hxh’s future is compromised.. sensei’s health is not good.. thts why the manga release getting slower to be released..
    one thing that is sad to be heard now as well sensei ever told the crews before
    “..i actually has so many things in my mind i want to put in there(my creation) but i just shocked its difficult to put those in…”
    yes, thats fact.
    以上です〜お疲れ様でした♪

    I mean even if you take the manga into consideration, not much is different; Mito won custody of Gon because Ging never even tried to contest it. You could say he just didnt know that it was happening, but that still brings the fact that, even if Ging had no idea there was a custody battle going on, he still never visited his son even once for 10 years. I think he knew he was never really meant to be a dad, and so he did the "right thing" and left Gon with someone he could trust to keep him safe, so Ging could essentially leave the picture with a clean conscience. I like the decision to make Ging not a villain, but a selfish almost agoraphobic person who chose not to raise gon because he knew thatd probably traumatize him more than if he grew up without a father

    Even if Mito did, ask for Ging to leave Gon, Ging is still a deadbeat dad. He couldn't put a pause to his hunter lifestyle, nor could he be bothered to even come back from time to time. There is no valid argument for not being able to do at least that.

    Did you ever consider the conflicting views of Ging may both be legitimate? People are complex. Ging seems to be the kind of guy you either love or hate. Either viewpoint is for good reason. He is not evil but his first inclination is to irritate someone. It’s only after people get to know him do they realize how great he is. But that takes time. Becoming his friend and gaining his trust is something of a hunt itself.

    Ging purely left Gon alone because 1. He had a goal that he couldn’t accomplish watching over Gon. 2. He wanted to keep Gon away from any particular enemies Ging comes across. Ging is smarter than he came off.
    Gon also wanted to find ging. Ging even doubled down on it when leorio called him out on not visiting Gon. He asked leorio “did Gon want me to come visit?” He didn’t want to take Gon’s goal away from him

    I disagree with the change, because it's realistic that kind of expectation. Not only that, but i find the situation with Mito not breaking their bond, as Gon forgave Mito for what she did. But it was not done in spite as we see in that same chapter Mito treat it as a deep dark secret implying there is more to being a Hunter then just hunting and not being a nice kind of life from a normal persons point of view. More then that, if you keep going the rabbit hole, it doesn't change Ging from how it's portray later on, because he did gave up Gon. He could have not done it, he has the power by a lot, intelligence, etc. So that he wouldn't have to give him up, which still puts family as a second thing to his desires.
    Second, everyone we hear from is there, people with minimal interaction with Ging to admiring his work to being their student for a very short while. And as we see on the last arc, when it comes to work, Ging is surprisingly efficient.
    Final point, Gin wasn't well know in the assosiation, just the Zodiacs truly know him, and that's a more recent development. To the assosiation in general he was a mystery.
    As such, i don't find a tonal shift that damaging for the story, it's just the anime wanting to appeal more to certain part of the audience and more of the problem i have with modern Anime, which i think it always was there of trying to be more fancy then it's in dfferent aspects. Instead of just accepting what it's. And the Anime audience also wanting that, instead of just accepting it for what it's and moving on to focusing of making it the best possible it can be, without changing what it is for the wrong reasons.

    This is a very opinionated view it seems cause I highly disagree with the conclusion. Let's not forget that Ging is relating to Togashi's personality and that isn't something he would just decide to do midway through the story
    Ging was never expected to be ideal, we could see his true motives from his tape. Even in the Manga he wasn't hesitating to present himself as selfish, and he was always meant to run away from Gon. I feel like you're having Togashi as way more inconsistent than he is 👀. As a big Ging fan, I think that he expected Mitou to insist in keeping Gon. Cause he knows his sister very well. This would a very easy prediction for him.
    The change the anime did was very damaging cause they didn't allow the viewers to see that he cared about Gon as much as he's originally intended to care. Ging did so much in order to make Gon get stronger. Cause he knew Gon was gonna go after him, and that's what he wanted. He let Gon to the hands of the person he trusted the most, and someone who would be a better parent, whilst also managing to hunt for his own aim to find Don.
    That is my view of this
