I'm commenting on this comment so people see this but the 3 leaf clover at 2:02 may be because her birthday is one day after mine march 15 so a lucky month.
Great points. Ging even says to gon that kite has a crazy slot ability that he will use when he absolutely won't die. And if he's alive now that's probably why. Maybe it is some kind of resurrection ability?
that is the ability of the slot number 2 (scythe) that's why is so confusing, because when he fights with pitou, he dies using the mace (slot 3) not the number 2 as expected
why is it you say that? When Ging mentions an ability that will only appear if kite is adamant about not dying, they flashback to him using the "mace" shown in this video. There is no mention of the scythe being the weapon to keep him alive. At least not that I remember. i also have not completed the entire manga yet so if it is mentioned there I apologize. just curious why you think the ging is referring to the scythe
Back in the day i had the theory that crazy slot wasn't random at all. It was based on the enemy/situation Kite was in. That's why when fighting multiple enemies he got the scythe, when fighting one on one he got the rifle... And when he was about to die he rolled the mace. Now... If you remember everytime he got a new weapon he said "Bad roll", whereas with the N3 he didn't say anything... This was the weapon he knew he needed, not to win the fight... but to live on
Camilo Mella When watching the show I came to the same conclusion, it doesn't seem to be random at all. It seems to give him the best weapon for the given scenario. The gun was perfect to quickly dispose of the ants that would soon attack gon and killua. The gun was perfect for a clean kill on the horse squadron leader and to save Gon. The scythe was perfect for dealing with the ants surrounding them in 360°. And the mace was perfect for the situation of his death, as ging says it's a weapon that would have only been brought out when he really needed it. It seems kite has no control over what he gets, but the roll gives him the best for the given scenarios.
Just watched Gon meeting Ging again, and in one of those episodes Ging said he trained Kite and taught him his abilities and techniques. He also says there's a number that only shows up when he knows he'll be killed, and it's probably the reason he's still alive.
I think you missed something, or perhaps you thoght it wasnt relevant enough. When Gon meets Ging for the first time, he tells him about Kite and then Ging tells him, right before he leaves: "Hey Gon, I remembered something. I taught Kite how to use Nen, I taught him his techniques. His Crazy Slot would never show a certain number, unless he's decided to NOT die. If he's still alive, it must be because of that. He would never sacrifice himself for you. Dont screw up your apology to him, or he'll hit you again" I think this pretty much confirms your theory
I'm not someone who takes fan theories seriously very often, but I feel like your theory could honestly be true. Great job, and I'd love to see more theories from you.
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!! I read a UA-cam comment somewhere saying that Ging could copy/learn his opponents nen abilities be being hit by them. If this is true then that could explain why Ging let Leorio punch him.
Makes sense, HxH is rife with religious symbolism and themes in general, after all. If anyone's interested a channel called Aleczandxr has a good video on this.
so Pitou is Kite's mom (mary/jesus) ?? kinda makes sense since she killed him and he got reborn as Ant-Kite. so she's the mom of Ant-Kite who is jesus..
this makes so much sense because crazy slot #3 was the only time kite said that it was a good roll. it was a good roll because it helps kite get reborn and he knew he was likely to be killed
He knew that his chances were grim especially since he only had one arm and was heavily hurt because of that. I always wondered what would have happened if he hadn't lost his arm. How would the fight have turned out? At the very least I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have died because he would have been able to get away from Pitou since her objective was to guard the nest and not pursue invaders.
I agree, if you look at pitou with kites had she is seen to be decently damaged by kite with only using a wand, and had one also had one arm. I feel like kite would have escaped or the fight would be a draw
Something interesting I thought of while watching episode 147 again is that the story of Koala has a couple of parallels to the story of Cain and Abel. While it very likely means absolutely nothing, it's at least interesting to think about. So in Genesis chapter 4, Cain and Abel are brothers and the sons of the original humans, Adam and Eve. While Cain farmed crops, his brother Abel was a shepard and took care of the animals. And since the God in the Christian Old Testament is a very jealous God, (He created everything and everyone, so he demands love and respect from his creations. And this isn't presented as a bad trait either like we might think of it today.) so people were required to give sacrifices to God. So when the time came, Cain gave some of the crops he harvested as a sacrifice while Abel gave the first borns of the flock and all of their fat. God found favor with Abel's sacrifice while he did not accept Cain's. While the exact reasons of why are only speculated upon, they don't really matter in the long run. After this, Cain kills Abel and here's where the interesting similarities start. 1) Cain kills his brother Abel likely out of jealousy and to make things easier on him. Koala killed the girl instead of the people attacking her so that things wouldn't go bad for him. 2) Cain is cursed to be a fugitive and to wander and so that all of his work on the land will be incredibly brutal. Koala is told that he has to stay with Kite now wherever she may go and work with her. Both are also told that they can't run away from what they have done. 3) Cain is also cursed so that no one will be able to kill him so that there's no easy escape for him. In a similar fashion, Koala is told by Kite that no one will be allowed to kill him so that he can't just hit the "reset button" and get out easy. 4) It's also worth noting that like you said Koala is told to apologize to Kite every day in a similar way as to how Christians have to pray to God and ask for forgiveness for their sins. And that's about it! Again, I know very well that these similarities almost definitely mean nothing at all and were very likely not planned. However, since this video talked about Kite's similarities to the Christian Trinity, I thought it would at least be interesting to read this and think about it. TL;DR: The story of Koala and his relationship with Kite has some interesting similarities to the story of Cain and Abel and Cain's relationship with God. While these similarities almost definitely mean absolutely nothing, I wanted to at least point them out so that they can be thought about if nothing else.
Lol that's perfectly fine. Someone might end up reading it if they have no free time, and even if they don't, I wrote it more for me than for anyone else.
I really hope we will see Kite come back in the future and show us his other weapons or at least some of them. Though he can only do that if he can somehow regain his ability before his death or if it didn't change and we don't even know if he is still a Conjurer or if that changed with his rebirth as well. I really wanted Togashi to show us at least one more weapon before he killed off Kite... I thought it was kind of dumb to have him use his rifle twice and the scythe twice. That is way to weird to be random.
Sooo basically kite is a reborn ant Jesus... everyone was right, this is NOTHING like your typical shounen anime. (but either way this anime is beyond amazing and so is your theory good job)
Great theory! I've copied this from the Hunterpedia Wiki: According to Ging, a number Crazy Slot comes out only when he desperately does not want to die. Its power is so great that Kite managed to reincarnate as Meruem's twin sibling after his death. The Crazy Slot Mad Clown refers 3 as a good spin. This pretty much proves that the third spin is for reincarnation.
Thank you! I was quite surprised myself lol. I have a few good ideas for more vids like this. I'd love to do one a week but they take a lot of time so at least every other week should be feasible.
Has anyone discussed how Kite's crazy slots ability may be a form of limitation/vow/contract that Kite has placed on his conjuring technique. For example, Kite may have given up his ability to perfectly conjure the weapon necessary to fight in his current situation in order to make the weapon that is conjured much stonger. In essence, the weapon that is conjured from crazy slots is probablistic in nature instead of deterministic as you would imagine most conjuring techniques would be. I also imagine that the number of slots 1-9 would have an effect on the strength of the ability. Such that, if Kite were to increase the number of slots to 15 instead of 9 the probability of falling on any single weapon (i.e., the perfect weapon for the moment) is reduced. So, the first limitation used by Kite to increase the power of his conjured weapons is the reduction of the potential weapons to be conjured (1-9 instead of an infinite #) and he allows these 9 weapons to be conjured in a stochastic instead of deterministic manner. Additionally, if you pay attention to the scythe that he draws, he also puts conditions on the weapon. He tells Gon and Killua that the scythe can only be used for one specific attack and the attack must be used before he can put the scythe up or change to a different weapon. In sum, Kite has utilized several limitations/vows/contracts to increase the power of his conjuring ability. Just a thought...
Awesome theory, another similarity to Jesus is after his death kite usually had his arms in an outward position because he was being controlled by pitou, he had a similar look to Jesus on the cross with his arms spread out along with the scars on his body.
But wasnt it kinda implied by Ging? He said there was a slot that only appears when he really doesnt want to die and that is why he's probably still alive. And well 1 +1 = 2, number 3 is a rebirth of sorts or souls transfer. He knew he would lose and didnt want to die. It didnt seem like a fighting weapon anyway.
Your content is leaps and bounds better than any other HxH youtuber--you look at things from a different perspective and you deserve at least 100k subs.
I also want to point out that kite rebirth as the ant was connected to three dead characters kite,reina (kurt/colt sister and was the name of the ant that kite was reborn as)/and the girl koala killed
so if kite is jesus. pitou is mary. does this make meruem = god and komugi = humanity? so god(meruem) played with humanity(komugi) and when time goes by meruem(god) fell in love with the humanity(komugi)? :D
if this is true togashi is an absolute genius. HxH still stands as my favorite battle shounan of all time and this is why. togashi may barely ever put out new content but damn does he put in alot of thought into what he DOES release.
Also in Chinese the number 3 is often seen as lucky as it has a similar sound to the word live , could've been a small hint of kite being reborn and living on add it to the pile Amazing video and thank you so much! I cant imagine how much research and pondering u had to do but truly means a lot to fans who r constantly trapped in hiatus to receive something like this to think about whilst we wait.... I liked seeing how u made connections to kite and various aspects of religion but as for if togashi was inspired by these elements im not sure... your theory about gon and meruem's parallel journey was most likely intended though. Keep up the good work do u plan on making anymore hunter x hunter related content?
Togashi uses a lot of Chinese influences so thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know that. And thank you for your kind words. There is definitely more HxH content to come. I did a lot of brainstorming and note-taking this weekend but have been indecisive about a topic to cover next. I really wanted to finish one this weekend but two of the ideas I was working on both were shorter than I thought so I'm going to combine them for a later video about character inspirations from the real world.
Omg thanks for responding! Oh I see well im sure your future videos will be just as fantastic and take your time if there's one thing togashi has taught me it's that good things are worth waiting for 😊👍 Also what were the chinese influences? Ok I should know that one I should rewatch the series to try and figure it out
Of course! I try to respond to as many comments as possible :) Are you caught up with the manga? Several of the character designs from the newest arc seem to have Chinese influence such as Beyond and the King of Kakin. The Zodiac are also from the Chinese Zodiac. Saiyu specifically seems to be heavily modeled after Journey to the West
And while the gun doesn't seem to carry that huge a meaning as the sycthe or number 3 at first the fact alone that it is number 4 is telling of Kites eventual demise since the number 4 is heavily associated with death in japan as well. It can literally also mean death.
Very well done. There isn't much info we are given, but you squeezed out everything from what's given. I hope you continue doing videos, you have potential.
What is ironic to your theory of him having been originated from the Ankou, is that he hates to take the life of another, which he mentioned during Gon's foxbear incident.
i think youre right on the fact that it is to reborn him remember how Ging said on one of the episodes that Kite has a special slot for when he is in deep danger.
If I remember correctly Gon and Killua ask him about Crazy Slots and Kite says something about it being developed to help him master more than one weapon and/or fighting style. So if this is true then couldn’t it be that each weapon correlates to a nen type? Number 2 being a gun so transmission, and I think I read somewhere that the scythe’s ability is the more nen that is put into it, the bigger the blade gets so that would fall under conjuration. Fallowing that line of thinking and the three leaf clover idea couldn’t number 3 be enhancement? When Kurapika is fighting Uvo he uses the chain on his thumb to heal his broken arm which was a cross and (again if Im remembering correctly) enhancement nen. Going back to Kite’s number 3, couldn’t that bee a ‘staff’ that does something like “as long as he holds it, it allows him to heal himself”? That would fallow the ‘religious’ / enhancer nen type idea. Also I think Ging says that Crazy Slots has a ‘0’ roll reserved for when Kite dies that Kite may or may not be aware of. All in all good theory sir! lol
Very compelling argument made here, cant wait to see what other ideas you have. Have you considered the possibility that the 3000 chimera ants currently under Pariston's control may end up being led by Kite. As Meruem's twin I don't think its too much of a stretch, either way Kite definitely has a role to play in the story to come. Hopefully his Crazy Slots ability has been retained, perhaps even enhanced, Togashi has emphasised nen becoming stronger after death quite a lot in the more recent chapters
This is some great stuff. you deserve more subs dude, I've been looking for a good discussion video series for hunter hunter and im glad I found your channel!
Astonishing :) Someone mentioned earlier in the comments, that you attempt to find a painkiller, though it sounds funny i believe you did. Totally changed my view upon the tragic event of his death, now when undersatnding the point of rebirth . Your ideas are very clear , thank you for doing this job keep going on :)
Another thing too. After every spin, Kite always said "damn, bad spin" (or something along the lines of that). However, he didn't say that when he got the mace, even though he was facing a much stronger enemy this time.
Wow, could it be possible the author truly went as deep into these details as your theories? It is so deeply detailed. I admire all your work and research in order to find out and look upon these clues.
I was wrecking my brain tryna figure out what could his ability could have possibly been but this actually makes a lot of sense your onto something here great job
Thanks. I spend way too much time on wikipedia and end up with twenty tabs open at once. One article always leads to another. Hopefully the government doesn't look at my search history or they'll think I'm insane lol.
Wow just wow , you're always so deep I believe it that part with the koala has always confused me till now , I really believe your theory ,, hunter X hunter really is a masterpiece
And don't forget, Ging mentions to Gon that Kite's crazy slots has a number he won't bring up, unless he's adamant about not dying. And when he says that it shows the flashback of Kite with slot # 3!
Thank you, that means a lot! I've only been doing anime/manga videos since April so I'm happy so far with how the channel is progressing. It's tough to get recognized when so many other people do what I'm doing. I'm in it for the long haul though and prepared to work hard to earn each sub.
Ging said that there's a slot that will come out if Kite is determined not to die. You could see that as a powerful weapon, but it is still risky. Slot 3 gives him a means to immortality.
I did a fun stream about what his other abilities could be. Here is it with the timestamp of when I start talking about it: ua-cam.com/video/zy_gOBXc4zI/v-deo.html
Dope theory. And it would make sense based on how Ging said Kite's abilities work. Something about the more resolve Kite has to live the better his slot number would be.
Great video. There's another subject that it’s worth to research and is how Randomness plays a big role in Kite's Nem abilities. As we all know he says he doesn't know what number will come up from the slot. This was taken by Gon and killua as something funny but it’s far from that. The higher the risks in the creation of a nem abilities the higher the power the person can get from it (Kurapika's case). That's also Kite's case. Maybe when he started to develop his nem he started to materialize weapons but they weren't powerful enough so when he decided to create the slot ability that would allow him to multiply the power of each weapon not by his own power but by the power of randomness. Is worth to make some research and try to create groups of characters whose ability depends on strength, intelligence, randomness and conditions. What I have read on the Internet is that Kite can summon Number 3 if he knows that his life is in danger. Of course there's no evidence except from the fight with Pitou but as this video shows it has sense that he can summon this at will.
if you want to add this in as well to your theory. St.Patrick also rid ireland of all the snakes (idk if this is actually true but we were always told this in school here). So kite's wand could also be like St.Patricks staff, how he was trying to rid the earth of the chimera ants much like how St.Patrick banished the snakes.
I remember Gin telling Gon that Kite would be fine as he has an ability that he can use when he's serious about not dying, which the anime implies is slot 3. That exchange adds some credence to your theory
Gin also said Kite was possibly reborn due to one of his slots so I believe your theory, He said that in the episode where Gon finally met him and left to go apologize to Kite
Thank you! Definitely more to come. The vid I'm working on now has been taking a lot longer than I expected but I have plenty of ideas that I think I can release quicker once this one is finished. Very close to finishing the script, then need to record the audio, and finish with the video editing. Stay tuned.
Dude don't stop these videos you are pretty good at this. Cant wait for more. If you have time talk about one piece. The manga recently has been on fire.
I totally agree! In Chinese, 4 is unlucky because the sound of the word 4 “四” is nearly the same as the sound of the word death "死" (they are both pronounced "Si" or in english the sound is "SS" like a snake haha) Your theories are awesome! Keep on doing em'! And hopefully you understood my explanation :D
This is a really good theory. I am really inclined to believe the theory about slot number 3 to be true, since we were told outright in the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight that Nen becomes stronger after death. If we ever get more information revealed to us about the topic, it will probably only back up this theory.
as far as i can remember after gon was heal by alluka, and then he go to ging and met him at the election of the new president of hunter association, ging said that he's the one who teaches the slot number 3. that he can use when kite is in trouble. also when kite releases slot number 3 the clown laugh and said to kite that "looks like you're in trouble"
I would just add some things: that in the end, with the koala ant, he again acts like Death (which is the very thing that gives Life meaning, by giving it finitude if the koala "slips" in his "3. Penance"), and offers to the ant a purpose, meaning, also related to the cristian simbolism of Jesus, who carries himself the sins of humanity, and had loyal followers (the picture in the end with the landscape can be related to the apostles). Making the koala "so much busy" maybe refers to the old religious belief that "work equals punishment", too. And the Ging quote almost confirms that Kite has some Crazy Slot that has a mechanism to avoid death, and your theory fits just right.
Kite, to me at least, is the most intriguing character in this show (by virtue of his unique ability and personality) and I'm amazed by the connections you made in this theory! Great work! :) I just wish there were more about his other crazy slot number weapons, I am dead curious about what other weapons he had available... maybe a spear, a halberd, a flamethrower... or whatever else comes to mind. Well, too bad it really is Hiatus X Hiatus, I may never know. :(
Same here! I want to see so much more of him....her. And thanks, it feels great to know so many people are enjoying this. The positive reaction definitely surpassed my expectations. There was an article translated on Reddit saying the haitus will not last as long as fans typically expect. The editor from WSJ also said they've been dropping hints in each release to when it would return. But he also said you probably wouldn't see the hint unless you were an insider or editor at WSJ. So don't give up yet!
And I believe Number 3 is the number of eternal life (in the bible), as he (Jesus) was resurrected after three days of being dead. So what Im trying to say is that, kite number 3 slot ability may be resurrection or, redemption which means to acquire something in exchange of something.
Huh... The similarities to the Aunko are undeniable. Nice find! Would you ever consider speculation type video on his other weapons? And on that note what the other coloured arrows Pokkle had could do? Ive always wondered since we only saw 3/9 of kites and 2/7 for Pokkle...
Defining Kite's other weapons is something I've thought of doing. I may have found a somewhat bizarre pattern in the weapons we've seen so far that gave me ideas on his other weapons. Really the only thing holding me back is doing too many Kite videos in a row lol.
This is a good theory especially when Gin told Gon that a certain slot number would only show up when Kite gets extremely serious so it could be that No. 3 slot is the ability, "Like hell I'm gonna to die!"
I always thought that the "golden shamrock" was in fact the symbol for clubs from a deck of cards meaning that weapon was a club. It makes sense when you think about how Crazy Slots is modeled after a clown, with the only other clown-like character being Hisoka who has the card motif all over him.
The suits we're all familiar with (clubs, hearts, spades, diamonds) come from France. In French they call they club the Trèfles which actually translates to clover! Some french decks even use the color green for the clubs cards (common in playing bridge). You can even see the green clover/club when Knov encounters Pouf's nen and imagines being toyed with by Pitou ;) But your explanation is entirely possible as well.
i think you might be spot on - remember in the part wherein Gon met with Ging? before leaving, Ging told Gon that he was the one who taught Kaito his Nen abilities and he taught him an ability - something that would greater his chance of survival... m.mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v32/c335/13.html
however this can also be seen as an inconsistency since the other guys who had their memories intact does not have this ability. like Karuto and Gyro among others... it can also be asked what part of Kaito was "eaten" by the queen to give birth to him as well since we all know that his body was used by Nef as a puppet.
Symon Sybico Because he has had Medicall issues with Health Since the early 2000s. This would not be such a big deal if He would Get assistans to Ink and draw the Manga for him. But unfortunately He is Very stuborn and wants to the Job all by Him self. Some say he has some kind of Mental issue. thou i just think he doesnt Trust Present Assistans as there supiscious to him or He just cant Pay them. Thankfully He agreed on that His Wife would Continue The Manga for him on 2017
Togashi's wife is the creator of sailor moon...biggest mind blow in my life so far

Yoosung Baby Madoka Magica would've been the perfect mashup of both LMAO
I'm commenting on this comment so people see this but the 3 leaf clover at 2:02 may be because her birthday is one day after mine march 15 so a lucky month.
If you notice he only had 10 followers and jesus had 12 meaning kite needed 2 more this was gon and killua so this further solidifies the connection
Good find
your profile picture is my reaction to your comment
+Soufian A lmfao 😂 nice!
Zallcar hhv
is Killua Judas then? he left him to die kind of a betrayal
Togashi is a subliminal genius truly gifted

Lol, hi something! How are you doing?
@@geovaniraffaelli4508 that's a spoiler 🤣
Ummmmmmm hello
Great points. Ging even says to gon that kite has a crazy slot ability that he will use when he absolutely won't die. And if he's alive now that's probably why. Maybe it is some kind of resurrection ability?
Abelon535 I'm kinda wondering why he didn't mention that in the video
that is the ability of the slot number 2 (scythe) that's why is so confusing, because when he fights with pitou, he dies using the mace (slot 3) not the number 2 as expected
why is it you say that? When Ging mentions an ability that will only appear if kite is adamant about not dying, they flashback to him using the "mace" shown in this video. There is no mention of the scythe being the weapon to keep him alive. At least not that I remember. i also have not completed the entire manga yet so if it is mentioned there I apologize. just curious why you think the ging is referring to the scythe
this ability makes no sense,since everybody who has been eaten by queen,are reincarnated as chimeras anyway.with or without his nen ability
camila paz that's not the ability of slot 2, you've seen the ability of the scythe already, it does nothing else
I think you may be right. they did never show the fight after all. this anime seems to be way too deep.
Not as much as Lain.
proper lad
Different from HxH, but shorter and deeper.
That's why it's so fucking good.
Back in the day i had the theory that crazy slot wasn't random at all. It was based on the enemy/situation Kite was in. That's why when fighting multiple enemies he got the scythe, when fighting one on one he got the rifle... And when he was about to die he rolled the mace. Now... If you remember everytime he got a new weapon he said "Bad roll", whereas with the N3 he didn't say anything... This was the weapon he knew he needed, not to win the fight... but to live on
It's a very reasonable theory. Hopefully he'll develop the same hatsu and we'll get to see the other slots in the future.
Camilo Mella
When watching the show I came to the same conclusion, it doesn't seem to be random at all. It seems to give him the best weapon for the given scenario. The gun was perfect to quickly dispose of the ants that would soon attack gon and killua. The gun was perfect for a clean kill on the horse squadron leader and to save Gon. The scythe was perfect for dealing with the ants surrounding them in 360°. And the mace was perfect for the situation of his death, as ging says it's a weapon that would have only been brought out when he really needed it. It seems kite has no control over what he gets, but the roll gives him the best for the given scenarios.
Just watched Gon meeting Ging again, and in one of those episodes Ging said he trained Kite and taught him his abilities and techniques. He also says there's a number that only shows up when he knows he'll be killed, and it's probably the reason he's still alive.
I think you missed something, or perhaps you thoght it wasnt relevant enough.
When Gon meets Ging for the first time, he tells him about Kite and then Ging tells him, right before he leaves:
"Hey Gon, I remembered something. I taught Kite how to use Nen, I taught him his techniques.
His Crazy Slot would never show a certain number, unless he's decided to NOT die.
If he's still alive, it must be because of that. He would never sacrifice himself for you. Dont screw up your apology to him, or he'll hit you again"
I think this pretty much confirms your theory
BRUNO did he miss this on purpose? Ging did LITERALLY say this
maybe he thought it wasnt relevant enough... I dont know
Momo: Ging's exact words in the manga were, "I taught Kite everything he knows about nen!!"
I'm not someone who takes fan theories seriously very often, but I feel like your theory could honestly be true. Great job, and I'd love to see more theories from you.
Thank you!!!
Tales of Nerdia in Korea and japan the number 4 is associated with death. that one should of been the grim reaper scythe
If this is how strong kite is, then imagine how ging would be....
ikr
I'd pay money to know what his abilities are
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!!
I read a UA-cam comment somewhere saying that Ging could copy/learn his opponents nen abilities be being hit by them. If this is true then that could explain why Ging let Leorio punch him.
Yes but what about his own
Uzumaki Naruto that's dope . That would be a good match to have Ging and lucilfer (head of spiders) go head to head
Makes sense, HxH is rife with religious symbolism and themes in general, after all. If anyone's interested a channel called Aleczandxr has a good video on this.
I'm a big fan of Aleczandxr!
Yeah, considering the cover on volume 28, I'm inclined to believe everything in this video.
i.imgur.com/D7RkMsE.png
HOLY SHIT MAN!!
I saw it before, but I never connected it to Kite. This is a major stretch, but would that make Gon and Killua like Judas and Peter?
so Pitou is Kite's mom (mary/jesus) ?? kinda makes sense since she killed him and he got reborn as Ant-Kite. so she's the mom of Ant-Kite who is jesus..
ant-kite... ant-kite... anti-christ! jk jk
nice find
this makes so much sense because crazy slot #3 was the only time kite said that it was a good roll. it was a good roll because it helps kite get reborn and he knew he was likely to be killed
He knew that his chances were grim especially since he only had one arm and was heavily hurt because of that. I always wondered what would have happened if he hadn't lost his arm. How would the fight have turned out? At the very least I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have died because he would have been able to get away from Pitou since her objective was to guard the nest and not pursue invaders.
I agree, if you look at pitou with kites had she is seen to be decently damaged by kite with only using a wand, and had one also had one arm. I feel like kite would have escaped or the fight would be a draw
kite didn't say 3 was a good roll
Never Like My Comment Ikr
Never Like My Comment it is the only one he didn't call a bad roll
Something interesting I thought of while watching episode 147 again is that the story of Koala has a couple of parallels to the story of Cain and Abel. While it very likely means absolutely nothing, it's at least interesting to think about.
So in Genesis chapter 4, Cain and Abel are brothers and the sons of the original humans, Adam and Eve. While Cain farmed crops, his brother Abel was a shepard and took care of the animals. And since the God in the Christian Old Testament is a very jealous God, (He created everything and everyone, so he demands love and respect from his creations. And this isn't presented as a bad trait either like we might think of it today.) so people were required to give sacrifices to God. So when the time came, Cain gave some of the crops he harvested as a sacrifice while Abel gave the first borns of the flock and all of their fat. God found favor with Abel's sacrifice while he did not accept Cain's. While the exact reasons of why are only speculated upon, they don't really matter in the long run. After this, Cain kills Abel and here's where the interesting similarities start.
1) Cain kills his brother Abel likely out of jealousy and to make things easier on him. Koala killed the girl instead of the people attacking her so that things wouldn't go bad for him.
2) Cain is cursed to be a fugitive and to wander and so that all of his work on the land will be incredibly brutal. Koala is told that he has to stay with Kite now wherever she may go and work with her. Both are also told that they can't run away from what they have done.
3) Cain is also cursed so that no one will be able to kill him so that there's no easy escape for him. In a similar fashion, Koala is told by Kite that no one will be allowed to kill him so that he can't just hit the "reset button" and get out easy.
4) It's also worth noting that like you said Koala is told to apologize to Kite every day in a similar way as to how Christians have to pray to God and ask for forgiveness for their sins.
And that's about it! Again, I know very well that these similarities almost definitely mean nothing at all and were very likely not planned. However, since this video talked about Kite's similarities to the Christian Trinity, I thought it would at least be interesting to read this and think about it.
TL;DR: The story of Koala and his relationship with Kite has some interesting similarities to the story of Cain and Abel and Cain's relationship with God. While these similarities almost definitely mean absolutely nothing, I wanted to at least point them out so that they can be thought about if nothing else.
Lol that's perfectly fine. Someone might end up reading it if they have no free time, and even if they don't, I wrote it more for me than for anyone else.
I read this
slot number 3 ............................. jesus christ took 3 day to resurrect. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Now let's figure out what weapons the other 6 are :D
I really hope we will see Kite come back in the future and show us his other weapons or at least some of them. Though he can only do that if he can somehow regain his ability before his death or if it didn't change and we don't even know if he is still a Conjurer or if that changed with his rebirth as well.
I really wanted Togashi to show us at least one more weapon before he killed off Kite...
I thought it was kind of dumb to have him use his rifle twice and the scythe twice. That is way to weird to be random.
or we could see what the other 6 are in Gings flashbacks
SmilePlease they might not all have an even chance of appearing.
He has a revival number and a sword.
if kite will have a new battle again or if the author will have a flashback for ging and kite im sure the author will explain the crazy slots.
Sooo basically kite is a reborn ant Jesus...
everyone was right, this is NOTHING like your typical shounen anime. (but either way this anime is beyond amazing and so is your theory good job)
Fullmetal Titan KITE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!
kite=Ant Jesus Christ
Ant Jesus Christ
Ant Christ
Anti-Christ
Kite=Anti-Christ
Great theory!
I've copied this from the Hunterpedia Wiki:
According to Ging, a number Crazy Slot comes out only when he desperately does not want to die. Its power is so great that Kite managed to reincarnate as Meruem's twin sibling after his death.
The Crazy Slot Mad Clown refers 3 as a good spin.
This pretty much proves that the third spin is for reincarnation.
To be fair the clown does say he doesn’t have a bad spin but that could also be just in rebuttal to kite always saying ohh this is a bad spin
I'm stunned, never saw this coming. Great work!
Thank you! I was quite surprised myself lol. I have a few good ideas for more vids like this. I'd love to do one a week but they take a lot of time so at least every other week should be feasible.
I Love this theory, definitely subbing and liking
Has anyone discussed how Kite's crazy slots ability may be a form of limitation/vow/contract that Kite has placed on his conjuring technique. For example, Kite may have given up his ability to perfectly conjure the weapon necessary to fight in his current situation in order to make the weapon that is conjured much stonger. In essence, the weapon that is conjured from crazy slots is probablistic in nature instead of deterministic as you would imagine most conjuring techniques would be. I also imagine that the number of slots 1-9 would have an effect on the strength of the ability. Such that, if Kite were to increase the number of slots to 15 instead of 9 the probability of falling on any single weapon (i.e., the perfect weapon for the moment) is reduced. So, the first limitation used by Kite to increase the power of his conjured weapons is the reduction of the potential weapons to be conjured (1-9 instead of an infinite #) and he allows these 9 weapons to be conjured in a stochastic instead of deterministic manner. Additionally, if you pay attention to the scythe that he draws, he also puts conditions on the weapon. He tells Gon and Killua that the scythe can only be used for one specific attack and the attack must be used before he can put the scythe up or change to a different weapon. In sum, Kite has utilized several limitations/vows/contracts to increase the power of his conjuring ability. Just a thought...
Awesome theory, another similarity to Jesus is after his death kite usually had his arms in an outward position because he was being controlled by pitou, he had a similar look to Jesus on the cross with his arms spread out along with the scars on his body.
i think we can write multiple books breaking down HxH with theories and inspirations.
Agreed, I stick to videos though ;)
Thats why hunter x hunter is 10/10 for me..youre an anime scientist lol you go really deep in ur videos cant watch them when im sleepy :D
Haha, thanks.
But wasnt it kinda implied by Ging? He said there was a slot that only appears when he really doesnt want to die and that is why he's probably still alive. And well 1 +1 = 2, number 3 is a rebirth of sorts or souls transfer. He knew he would lose and didnt want to die. It didnt seem like a fighting weapon anyway.
i think the author was looking for a new type of pain killers
brother?
Rofl
And he kinda succeed :)
Your argumentation and research is flawless
Your content is leaps and bounds better than any other HxH youtuber--you look at things from a different perspective and you deserve at least 100k subs.
That is a very high compliment, thank you 😊
I also want to point out that kite rebirth as the ant was connected to three dead characters kite,reina (kurt/colt sister and was the name of the ant that kite was reborn as)/and the girl koala killed
so if kite is jesus. pitou is mary. does this make meruem = god and komugi = humanity? so god(meruem) played with humanity(komugi) and when time goes by meruem(god) fell in love with the humanity(komugi)? :D
God damnit.. literally
Vince WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
well if you think about it komugi is blind right? and can't see meruem so it is like komugi (humanity) can't see God but want to.
Vince STOP IT VINCE
but why?
if this is true togashi is an absolute genius. HxH still stands as my favorite battle shounan of all time and this is why. togashi may barely ever put out new content but damn does he put in alot of thought into what he DOES release.
My thoughts exactly!
HOLY FUCK, bruh your really good at this
Thats one hell of a way to look at it.......... My mind is blown and i shall now follow you forever to gain it back with new pieces
I just realized that Gehrman from Bloodborne also follows the same design as the Ankou.
God damn I love Bloodborne. So much fun (and pain) getting the Platinum Trophy ;)
This video was great. I think we need an anime manga theory channel on youtube keep it up! Heres a sub.
Also in Chinese the number 3 is often seen as lucky as it has a similar sound to the word live , could've been a small hint of kite being reborn and living on add it to the pile
Amazing video and thank you so much! I cant imagine how much research and pondering u had to do but truly means a lot to fans who r constantly trapped in hiatus to receive something like this to think about whilst we wait.... I liked seeing how u made connections to kite and various aspects of religion but as for if togashi was inspired by these elements im not sure... your theory about gon and meruem's parallel journey was most likely intended though. Keep up the good work do u plan on making anymore hunter x hunter related content?
Togashi uses a lot of Chinese influences so thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know that. And thank you for your kind words. There is definitely more HxH content to come. I did a lot of brainstorming and note-taking this weekend but have been indecisive about a topic to cover next. I really wanted to finish one this weekend but two of the ideas I was working on both were shorter than I thought so I'm going to combine them for a later video about character inspirations from the real world.
Omg thanks for responding! Oh I see well im sure your future videos will be just as fantastic and take your time if there's one thing togashi has taught me it's that good things are worth waiting for 😊👍
Also what were the chinese influences? Ok I should know that one I should rewatch the series to try and figure it out
Of course! I try to respond to as many comments as possible :) Are you caught up with the manga? Several of the character designs from the newest arc seem to have Chinese influence such as Beyond and the King of Kakin. The Zodiac are also from the Chinese Zodiac. Saiyu specifically seems to be heavily modeled after Journey to the West
And while the gun doesn't seem to carry that huge a meaning as the sycthe or number 3 at first the fact alone that it is number 4 is telling of Kites eventual demise since the number 4 is heavily associated with death in japan as well. It can literally also mean death.
A
This is some of the best Hunter x Hunter fan theory I’ve come across. So good, great research.
Thank you so much. Even tho I rarely post nowadays, comments like this brighten my day. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very well done. There isn't much info we are given, but you squeezed out everything from what's given. I hope you continue doing videos, you have potential.
after hisoka's ressurection, everything can be possible
Indeed
What is ironic to your theory of him having been originated from the Ankou, is that he hates to take the life of another, which he mentioned during Gon's foxbear incident.
Wow. Just wow. I've been looking for an explanation for some time and you just broke it down completely! awesome man.
i think youre right on the fact that it is to reborn him remember how Ging said on one of the episodes that Kite has a special slot for when he is in deep danger.
Keep it going man this is amazingly good. One day you'll be a big UA-camr
Always wondered about his other slots. Interesting stuff, thanks for making this.
Thanks! I have another idea for the other weapons we never saw. Still doing some brainstorming but it may become a video eventually.
If I remember correctly Gon and Killua ask him about Crazy Slots and Kite says something about it being developed to help him master more than one weapon and/or fighting style. So if this is true then couldn’t it be that each weapon correlates to a nen type? Number 2 being a gun so transmission, and I think I read somewhere that the scythe’s ability is the more nen that is put into it, the bigger the blade gets so that would fall under conjuration. Fallowing that line of thinking and the three leaf clover idea couldn’t number 3 be enhancement? When Kurapika is fighting Uvo he uses the chain on his thumb to heal his broken arm which was a cross and (again if Im remembering correctly) enhancement nen. Going back to Kite’s number 3, couldn’t that bee a ‘staff’ that does something like “as long as he holds it, it allows him to heal himself”? That would fallow the ‘religious’ / enhancer nen type idea. Also I think Ging says that Crazy Slots has a ‘0’ roll reserved for when Kite dies that Kite may or may not be aware of.
All in all good theory sir! lol
Very compelling argument made here, cant wait to see what other ideas you have.
Have you considered the possibility that the 3000 chimera ants currently under Pariston's control may end up being led by Kite. As Meruem's twin I don't think its too much of a stretch, either way Kite definitely has a role to play in the story to come. Hopefully his Crazy Slots ability has been retained, perhaps even enhanced, Togashi has emphasised nen becoming stronger after death quite a lot in the more recent chapters
Can you warn for spoilers...
@@ghfrjhn How are you watching a video like this and worried about spoilers???
This is some great stuff. you deserve more subs dude, I've been looking for a good discussion video series for hunter hunter and im glad I found your channel!
Thanks :)
this also explains when ging told gon that kite had a number which he would bring up if he was in trouble meaning he might not survive the situation.
this anime is so deep that I can see Adele rolling
Astonishing :) Someone mentioned earlier in the comments, that you attempt to find a painkiller, though it sounds funny i believe you did. Totally changed my view upon the tragic event of his death, now when undersatnding the point of rebirth . Your ideas are very clear , thank you for doing this job keep going on :)
Great video! With this information, I realized that the diagonals/ sticks on a traditional kite also form the shape of a crucifix
MInd blown! Very well thought! You are the best HxH thinker I come across so far! =))
Thank you!!
Another thing too. After every spin, Kite always said "damn, bad spin" (or something along the lines of that). However, he didn't say that when he got the mace, even though he was facing a much stronger enemy this time.
Wow, could it be possible the author truly went as deep into these details as your theories? It is so deeply detailed. I admire all your work and research in order to find out and look upon these clues.
Excellent work as always man... Thanks. Will wait for your next videos.
JESUS KITE!
kite was able to be alive because of his crazy slots when he fight pitou the last spin that he got 0 which means he's going to be alive
Very well researched and thought out. Keep up the good work man.
I was wrecking my brain tryna figure out what could his ability could have possibly been but this actually makes a lot of sense your onto something here great job
simply amazing.how on earth did you come up with this.the best hunter hunter theorists there is,hands down
Thanks. I spend way too much time on wikipedia and end up with twenty tabs open at once. One article always leads to another. Hopefully the government doesn't look at my search history or they'll think I'm insane lol.
this is one of the best theory videos that I have watched. Great job.
Thank you so much!
Ging told Gon that he taught Kite his nen abilities.. and there are abilities that makes Kite adamant from dying.
You deserve at least 10k more subs bro. These vids are phenomenal. It's a shame Hiatus x Hiatus lost so many fans after all these breaks
Thank you! I'm hoping to keep people entertained during the hiatus so they don't forget about this amazing series.
This was very good! I can't say I'm convinced, but that's okay, this had a pretty good flow and structure. I was pretty entertained
Thanks, my number one goal was for it to be thought-proving and entertaining so I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Omg, brilliant, i salute you !
Im crying of excitement here.
You earned a subscriber for this video. Really great theory and video overall!
damn that... was something else i never expected that keep up the good work
Wow just wow , you're always so deep I believe it that part with the koala has always confused me till now , I really believe your theory ,, hunter X hunter really is a masterpiece
And don't forget, Ging mentions to Gon that Kite's crazy slots has a number he won't bring up, unless he's adamant about not dying. And when he says that it shows the flashback of Kite with slot # 3!
This is a really good video! You really deserve more subs bro.
Thank you, that means a lot! I've only been doing anime/manga videos since April so I'm happy so far with how the channel is progressing. It's tough to get recognized when so many other people do what I'm doing. I'm in it for the long haul though and prepared to work hard to earn each sub.
TalesOfNerdia No problem man! I look forward to seeing more videos :D
Ging said that there's a slot that will come out if Kite is determined not to die. You could see that as a powerful weapon, but it is still risky. Slot 3 gives him a means to immortality.
I loveeeeee Kite's ability, I wish I got to see more of it.
I did a fun stream about what his other abilities could be. Here is it with the timestamp of when I start talking about it: ua-cam.com/video/zy_gOBXc4zI/v-deo.html
@@TalesOfNerdiaChris thank you !
The fact that it's crazy slot 3 (holy trinity, Christ rising on the 3rd day) also contributes to the theory. Really nicely done video!
Very solid theory. I like it. The best theory I've heard so far in fact.
Dope theory. And it would make sense based on how Ging said Kite's abilities work. Something about the more resolve Kite has to live the better his slot number would be.
At first I kinda felt like this was a bit far-fetched, but the more comments I read and the more I think about it, it makes sense
Great video. There's another subject that it’s
worth to research and is how Randomness plays a big
role in Kite's Nem abilities. As we all know he says he doesn't know what
number will come up from the slot. This was taken by Gon and killua as
something funny but it’s far from that.
The higher the risks in the creation of a nem abilities the
higher the power the person can get from it (Kurapika's case). That's also
Kite's case. Maybe when he started to develop his nem he started to materialize
weapons but they weren't powerful enough so when he decided to create the slot
ability that would allow him to multiply the power of each weapon not by his
own power but by the power of randomness.
Is worth to make some research and try to create groups of
characters whose ability depends on strength, intelligence, randomness and
conditions.
What I have read on the Internet is that Kite can summon Number
3 if he knows that his life is in danger. Of course there's no evidence except
from the fight with Pitou but as this video shows it has sense that he can
summon this at will.
if you want to add this in as well to your theory. St.Patrick also rid ireland of all the snakes (idk if this is actually true but we were always told this in school here). So kite's wand could also be like St.Patricks staff, how he was trying to rid the earth of the chimera ants much like how St.Patrick banished the snakes.
Nice! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll need to look into that.
No bother man. Great video i was always interested in kites abilities
Wow! I would have never thought of this!! It actually makes sense too xD Great job
Thank you! More to come in the future.
Wow! This is very interesting! Great video yet again!
I remember Gin telling Gon that Kite would be fine as he has an ability that he can use when he's serious about not dying, which the anime implies is slot 3. That exchange adds some credence to your theory
Gin also said Kite was possibly reborn due to one of his slots so I believe your theory, He said that in the episode where Gon finally met him and left to go apologize to Kite
you found some great evidence to back up your theory. great job and keep at it. i hope to be seeing more of you in the future :)
+1 sub
Thank you! Definitely more to come. The vid I'm working on now has been taking a lot longer than I expected but I have plenty of ideas that I think I can release quicker once this one is finished. Very close to finishing the script, then need to record the audio, and finish with the video editing. Stay tuned.
Dude don't stop these videos you are pretty good at this. Cant wait for more.
If you have time talk about one piece. The manga recently has been on fire.
the scythe should've been number 4
Agreed, am I really surprised it wasn't.
ohhhhh! I get it now. I think the number 4 has some connection to death
I totally agree! In Chinese, 4 is unlucky because the sound of the word 4 “四” is nearly the same as the sound of the word death "死" (they are both pronounced "Si" or in english the sound is "SS" like a snake haha)
Your theories are awesome! Keep on doing em'! And hopefully you understood my explanation :D
Ging said in one of the last episodes to Gon that Kite had a number in his slot that will make sure he wouldn't lose
So, you're saying that Kite is basically immortal and every time he ''dies'' he becomes stronger. Hax
'Ai
Kite is seriously my favorite character and he has the most interesting power ever. Thank you for this video.
Some really interesting information you pulled together, particularly involving the Ankou. The similarities are a little striking there, huh?
This is a really good theory. I am really inclined to believe the theory about slot number 3 to be true, since we were told outright in the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight that Nen becomes stronger after death. If we ever get more information revealed to us about the topic, it will probably only back up this theory.
this is a pretty solid theory
awesome analysis dude! you've earned a sub!
Thank you!
Ging did say that number 3 only appeared when he was adamant about death, so maybe empowering his soul and nen to reborn was right through the wand.
as far as i can remember after gon was heal by alluka, and then he go to ging and met him at the election of the new president of hunter association, ging said that he's the one who teaches the slot number 3. that he can use when kite is in trouble. also when kite releases slot number 3 the clown laugh and said to kite that "looks like you're in trouble"
I would just add some things: that in the end, with the koala ant, he again acts like Death (which is the very thing that gives Life meaning, by giving it finitude if the koala "slips" in his "3. Penance"), and offers to the ant a purpose, meaning, also related to the cristian simbolism of Jesus, who carries himself the sins of humanity, and had loyal followers (the picture in the end with the landscape can be related to the apostles). Making the koala "so much busy" maybe refers to the old religious belief that "work equals punishment", too. And the Ging quote almost confirms that Kite has some Crazy Slot that has a mechanism to avoid death, and your theory fits just right.
Lucas K
Kite, to me at least, is the most intriguing character in this show (by virtue of his unique ability and personality) and I'm amazed by the connections you made in this theory! Great work! :)
I just wish there were more about his other crazy slot number weapons, I am dead curious about what other weapons he had available... maybe a spear, a halberd, a flamethrower... or whatever else comes to mind. Well, too bad it really is Hiatus X Hiatus, I may never know. :(
Same here! I want to see so much more of him....her. And thanks, it feels great to know so many people are enjoying this. The positive reaction definitely surpassed my expectations.
There was an article translated on Reddit saying the haitus will not last as long as fans typically expect. The editor from WSJ also said they've been dropping hints in each release to when it would return. But he also said you probably wouldn't see the hint unless you were an insider or editor at WSJ. So don't give up yet!
And I believe Number 3 is the number of eternal life (in the bible), as he (Jesus) was resurrected after three days of being dead. So what Im trying to say is that, kite number 3 slot ability may be resurrection or, redemption which means to acquire something in exchange of something.
Huh... The similarities to the Aunko are undeniable. Nice find!
Would you ever consider speculation type video on his other weapons? And on that note what the other coloured arrows Pokkle had could do? Ive always wondered since we only saw 3/9 of kites and 2/7 for Pokkle...
Defining Kite's other weapons is something I've thought of doing. I may have found a somewhat bizarre pattern in the weapons we've seen so far that gave me ideas on his other weapons. Really the only thing holding me back is doing too many Kite videos in a row lol.
This is a good theory especially when Gin told Gon that a certain slot number would only show up when Kite gets extremely serious so it could be that No. 3 slot is the ability, "Like hell I'm gonna to die!"
I always thought that the "golden shamrock" was in fact the symbol for clubs from a deck of cards meaning that weapon was a club. It makes sense when you think about how Crazy Slots is modeled after a clown, with the only other clown-like character being Hisoka who has the card motif all over him.
The suits we're all familiar with (clubs, hearts, spades, diamonds) come from France. In French they call they club the Trèfles which actually translates to clover! Some french decks even use the color green for the clubs cards (common in playing bridge). You can even see the green clover/club when Knov encounters Pouf's nen and imagines being toyed with by Pitou ;)
But your explanation is entirely possible as well.
i think you might be spot on - remember in the part wherein Gon met with Ging? before leaving, Ging told Gon that he was the one who taught Kaito his Nen abilities and he taught him an ability - something that would greater his chance of survival...
m.mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v32/c335/13.html
however this can also be seen as an inconsistency since the other guys who had their memories intact does not have this ability. like Karuto and Gyro among others... it can also be asked what part of Kaito was "eaten" by the queen to give birth to him as well since we all know that his body was used by Nef as a puppet.
do you think there will be another season?
Not for several years, the author is on hiatus right now and there are only about 20 chapters that haven't been animated.
thanks for the feed back
TalesOfNerdia why is togashi hiatusing HXH?
Symon Sybico Because he has had Medicall issues with Health Since the early 2000s. This would not be such a big deal if He would Get assistans to Ink and draw the Manga for him. But unfortunately He is Very stuborn and wants to the Job all by Him self. Some say he has some kind of Mental issue. thou i just think he doesnt Trust Present Assistans as there supiscious to him or He just cant Pay them. Thankfully He agreed on that His Wife would Continue The Manga for him on 2017
TalesOfNerdia I give it 6 years If things go well next year
