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
Gon: Telling us these secrets could put your life in danger Kurapika. Why did you tell us?
Kurapika: I guess…
Kurapika: it’s because
Kurapika: you’re my friends.
Gon: 😀
Leorio: 🙂
Killua: …
Killua: …
Killua: if we get captured and tortured your secrets are fucked.
I’m laughing that my first impression of Kurapika was that he was the level-headed bookish responsible mom friend because anyway I just watched him kill a man to death with his own fists
I just landed from a 15 hour flight and 15 hours is LONG. Not to spoil how I spent 70% of that time but:
-fuck Tonpa
-Kurapika for Best Boy
-“wow this sure is a fun and exciting friend-making event! : D” Gon the sunshine child says while stepping over the scattered corpses of his fellow contestants who didnt survive the trial
-can’t believe Killua’s mom is a cyborg
-Canary for Best Girl
-Killua: *kills a man* Gon: …….that’s my friend there, that Murder Boy
For real though I’m what you might call Concerned™ about Gon’s priorities.
Gon: *watches several dozen people plummet off a cliff to their death* Gon: 😀 Gon: *watches another man die when a huge man-eating bird plucks him off the rock wall* Gon: 😀 Gon: *watches Killua just. Fucking rip out a guy’s heart. Literally that.* Gon: 😀 Gon: *raids the fresh corpse of a fellow contestant for the antidote to the snakes currently killing him* Gon: 😀 Gon: *gets accused of not really considering Killua his Friend* Gon: >>>>>:/
