One of my favorite tidbits of HxH is the fact that Gon and Killua became friends because Gon talked to him during the exam and just “Hey we’re the same age! That’s a good reason to be friends let’s do that! :D”
And since Gon came from a small island and is friendly to a fault, it kinda makes sense for him to suggest it. I bet on Whale Island people more or less just made friends with those close in age due to limited options.
But what cracks me up is Killua. Killua “raised from age 2 to commit cold-blooded murder, extensively trained in the art of throat-slitting, shamed out of emotion and friendship despite his desire for human connection” Zoldyck was just like “:)??? :D?????”
The Zoldycks tried.
actually, i think it’s better than this because killua was the one who approached gon first!
hxh 1999 reversed it and made gon the one who introduced himself first (and then made killua refuse to introduce himself in return… wtf) …. which is a change i really don’t like and think mischaracterized killua a whole lot. like, this kid is desperate for a friend!! he is trying really hard to make a friend!! let him make a friend, you cowards!!
My memory is bad but this addition is good.
Killua-serial-introducing-himself-to-everyone but he got it right the very first time with Gon
