Can’t believe you won me over.
if we look at the four protaginist of Hunter X Hunter, all of them are monsters in their own right, except one. They all represent the darkness of humanity. killua is a boy nurtured to be an assasin, he feels no remorse in death. Then w have gon, the person who'll sacrifice all his ideals, who will become a monster for his revenge. Then we have kurapika, he's someone who has thrown away his life to be an avenger, will destroy himself in his vengeance. Lastly, is the contradiction, leorio. He is the heart of the group. I believe he will die on the dark continent to show how humanity doesnt belong there, and that to survive the dark continent you have to become a monster.
You can also see the inverse between Gon and Kurapika in how their relationships with Killua and Leorio play out from the Hunter Exam. Gon serves as the model of childhood Killua strives to reclaim, his tether to the normal world that keeps him from slipping deeper into his killer impulses. On the flip side, it’s Leorio who serves as a pillar of normalcy for Kurapika, the most mundane member of the core four who reminds him what untainted friendship is like. Notice it’s Leorio who calls Kurapika over and over while Gon is comatose, desperate to drag him back into the world beyond his grief. This is also why Leorio acted as hostage negotiator in Yorknew, and I suspect a major part of why Togashi had him join the Zodiacs along with Kurapika. As we focus on this pair more (would love to see an arc with Leorio at the wheel), we’ll likely find Leorio further struggling to rein in Kurapika’s self-destructive tendencies, especially when they collide with the Troupe again.
togashi's obsesion is with "loss of innocence". even in yu yu hakusho his little stories about how happy he was before being a mangaka vs now is just..eye opening
Another point to Kurapika and Gon being inverse to each other, especially with regard to their purpose, is in their nen abilities. The only reason Gon chose Rock Paper Scissors for his ability was because Bisky brought up the history and it intrigued him. When pressed about why he chose it, he said he just liked Rock Paper Scissors. If something else had been interesting to him when developing the ability, it would have been based on that. Gon's ability choice was effectively random. On the other hand, Kurapika's nen ability could only ever have been something that could help him capture the Troupe and find the eyes. It had very limited forms it could have taken.
i have HxH Chapter 342 Animated
i already know this is gonna be a great video
It took me this long to realize Chrollo's book is meant to evoke the Bible
I'd like to think the hunter hunter world is so vast that the human world is still in its hunter gathering stage and has thus integrated it with modern living stuck in that mobius lake.
Great work as always!
It’s no coincidence that when we are just learning about the world of HxH (Nen, animals, people, the underworld) we see it through Gons naive perspective, early in the story we are just like him, naive on what’s to come. And the chimera ant arc is what breaks us as an audience and Gon as a character.
Comparing Kurapika and Gon is something that never crossed my mind. Thank you for this great video!
Solid Video! Never really thought of Comparing Gon and Kurapika.
Since you talked about the mirroring in the title, I would also like to add onto that. Gon and Killua’s journey contradicts each other and so does Gon and Meruem. One gaining humanity while one’s slowly corrupting
great vid
I never considered how Hisoka and Chrollo mirror each other in the same role they play in both protsgonist's story. Genius dissection!!
ive always thought gon and kurapika were somewhat similar, and their arcs are so similar too
Gon and Kurapika may have been the only ones to use nen vows as act of overpowering their enemies, but I would definitely consider Abengane’s nen beast summoning for Genthru’s bomb a pretty big nen vow as it came with the trade off of carrying the damn thing around with him. Great video btw!
Gon and Kurapika are my favorite characters due to their path of self destruction, their unique way of thinking, their fight scenes, how they interact with other amazing characters like killua, leorio, chrollo, hisoka, etc. Killua is a great character but feels like his journey and path to redemption wouldn’t be as impactful without the downfall of those two.
i always said kurapika is the second main character and not killua🤦🏽♂️. it’s like goku killin and vegeta. yeah krillin is the main character’s best friend and had more interaction time with him b4 the sequel, but vegeta is the second main character no question. kurapika is no question the protagonist of this part of the story
