![]() That’s when Kite shifts the engine once more. But he needed help, and this is something he doesn’t feel proud of. If he proves himself and protect the ones he loves, he will do it. This means a lot for Gon’s development and grief, because the moments where he feels he’s messed up or must redeem himself, he doesn’t mind getting hurt or overcoming fear in order to handle “his mess” all alone. The troubled boy acknowledges that “if it wasn’t for Killua (name separated from the rest ‘cause he has his special spot) and everybody else, I wouldn’t be here”. His past self has died, alongside with Kite - figuratively and directly speaking. If being approved doesn’t mean the same, meeting Ging is pointless. If Kite is not the same, he shouldn’t be either. Gon doesn’t feel like he cares about this anymore. But, why is this so important? Because this is a breaking point for his journey. Gon shows no trace of excitement over the fact he has accomplished his first goal - he was able to impress Kite. The boy’s reaction, though, it’s not what we would’ve expect from Gon. Instead of throwing the truth about what was the real issue here, Kite first gives Gon craved the most: he praises him for being able to defeat a stronger enemy that Kite himself could not. The moment where he asks Gon “sorry about what?” is important, because it’s where Kite and the readers get to understand that Gon needs a break before realizing it. Kite then sees no good in weighting his shoulders any more. What you seek must be found in yourself.īut what Kite sees, in this chapter called Repentance (337) is that Gon is probably not ready for the amount of reflection waiting for him. ![]() He can’t project his goals around others anymore - and like the Koala Man said, the heart must be fed, or you’ll end up doing the same things again and never getting satisfied with the outcome. Because Gon has stated, back in chapter 7, that “Kite seemed to be prouder of him (Ging) than he was of himself”, so he wants to walk the same steps as his biological father to make someone proud of him the same way. It’s also a very smart and symbolic way to end this desperate journey around the urge of becoming deserving of proud, especially from Kite, the one who gave his life a purpose. And this is a heavy loss, because it took Gon’s goal away from him. Resembling now a girl of similar age as Gon’s, Kite can not be kept as a replacement for the mentor and father Gon didn’t have. Pitou has killed the physical adult Kite, but the rebirth itself “killed” the father figure imagery that Gon saw in Kite. Someone stayed by his side, for a short moment, and gave him a reason.Īnd if you take into account that he died two times before Gon’s eyes, it makes everything more shocking for the kid. For the first time, someone cared to tell him the truth about Ging, and made him feel a little bit important. ![]() That said, I’ll won’t be deeply working some points that I’m assuming you are all familiar with, like Gon’s reaction because Kite has been the fuel of his search for approval and being valued, or like how difficult it is for Gon not to handle things alone.įirst of all, Kite is indeed Gon’s fuel for his journey. ![]() The irony is that, while Bisky and post-CAA Kite look like children (Kite is a child now, to be honest), Gon and Killua are, actually, real children facing painful and forced coming of age, enduring conflicts that even adults can fail to cope with properly - and this has been acknowledged by Knov and Shoot, also two experienced Hunters that got mesmerized by how those two kids could still fight, despite everything they saw and been through.Īnyways, Gon and Killua got their emotional development and their lack of experience put under extreme conditions, forcing them to break their dynamic without proper thinking, basically facing the war, the complexity of morals and relationships like adults. ![]() Both of them are experienced, opposing the appearance of a child. These two are the greatest and overall positive influences within Gon and Killua lives in terms of adult Hunters, always looking out for the boys. While two of the few grown ups who cared about them and gave proper attention to their relationship, are the perfect imagery of children: new Kite and Bisky. Gon and Killua had to let go of their childhood and childish behaviors. It’s so complex the way Togashi works through symbolisms. I wouldn’t even call it a meta, more of a psychological analysis. WARNING: MAJOR CHIMERA ANT ARC SPOILERS //įirst of all, this is kinda messy because I was writing and power went off </3. ![]()
