Nobody could have predicted that Hunter x Hunter will evolve from quirky, but pretty chill and often funny adventure series about a 12 years old determined and kind boy into a mighty parable with religious, philosophical, sociopolitical allusions peppered with the intensity geared up to 300%. I totally share every feeling you both felt during 131 - it is equally mesmerizes, scares and leaves you stunned and emotionally hurt, but not because the author intended to bring shock value with such wild representation of the anger and guilt in the child's soul suffered from his first important loss, but cause this culmination felt incredibly relatable (either in a way or fully - depending on the viewer's age). This is very accurate representation of a child psychology on so many levels, and it's rare to witness in anime or any other narrative type. It devastates you because, like Wes at the end of reaction, you want a child not to suffer anymore and to grow into a beautiful and responsible adult, but there's no growth without change, and change is often brutal both for the child and everyone who affected him. Hunter x Hunter at times can be quite cruel because of its honesty, no sugarcoating or idolatry of the power; it represents characters as they're - flawed and stucked into their world of inner struggles (Kurapika - survivor's guilt and a duty to better himself for the legacy of his clan; Killua - corrupted childhood with assassin indocrination and loneliness; Leorio - ostentatious bargaining, desire for money due to his friend dying without financial help; etc.), and with Gon Togashi showed extreme version of what teenager goes through when his morale built on his emotional dependency. Wes is spot on about it: Gon was raised on an island (sheltered from harsh reality) without father's influence (never met resistence to his childish selfishness), but with a narrow thinking on the world full of nuances. Tragic hero, for sure, but I'll say that Killua in the whole story even more tragic as Gon was the first instance of happiness he ever felt in his strict life. Seeing best friend sacrificing himself for the revenge has to be devastated in the same way as us seeing a child's future being wasted.

Yeah.. ep130 needed to be with 131 just so you dont break the tension of Gon's full breakdown into despair that leads to ep 131 but unless you wanna watch like 7eps in one sitting you still will get with that cliffhanger for what exactly happened with gon. Sorry steph, it was inevitable =/ And yeah, this last ep brings back things about nen contracts even if not explicitly made as well as the spider troupe's warning about how nen can become stronger after death.

Ngl I blame Ging for Gon turning out like this. I hope someone punch Ging in the face for being a shit father.

I don't usually comment, but this time I feel like I owe a debt of gratitude to you and your community. I've watched this series over and over with many different people, and I can honestly say that you are truly wonderful viewers. Your perspectives and your post-episode discussions are fantastic. You also have a really great community. It's so nice to read the comments. Watching HxH together with you and this entire community is genuinely a joy. Thank you sincerely, to both you and your community.

Gon's goal was never to kill the King, it was always to kill Pitou/save Kite.

I feel like people struggle to realize that Gon was never intending on killing the king. Nothing of the power that Gon got was meant for the king, it would've never even manifested if it was the king. Gon & Meruem were never meant to fight. Not once. Not ever.

Zeirra

Btw idk if someone mentioned it. But what Gon did here was sign a contract with Nen like the conditions Kurapika set for himself. The more you wager/sacrifice the more you get. Gon sacrificed all his potential and all the Nen he would've ever gotten. "I don't care if this is the end" is basically signing a white/empty check for Nen which it can put its own conditions onto it. It's basically Gon saying "Nen, take whatever you want to give me the overwhelming power to defeat her, even if it means that it's the end of me or my Nen", and that's what the Nen did. No more Nen for Gon. Ever. And again, non of this was meant for the king. Gon never cared about the king at all.

Killua's family be like: "Well, not our problem. By the way: How's Killua doing?"

1 small thing I want to add to your absolutely brilliant commentary: Gon’s hair increased in size to that extent because he entered into a covenant with himself to age his body and nen potential to what it would be for the rest of his natural life, as I’m sure the comments here have pointed out. So not only is the hair long because that is decades of uncut hair, but it’s also because he got unfathomable amounts of aura in one lump sum. As an enhancer, nen manifests in the increasing of volume, not just physical strength gains, as you can remember the water overfilling from the glass during the nen test. That’s also why it seemed Uvogin had very long body hair and scalp hair. They start to resemble wild animals in their physique and appearance, which is why enhancers are often the best with animals among hunters, since many animals have an inherent strength hierarchical mindset, like in the case of wolves that roam in packs.

Know I'm late to the party on this but thought I'd add my few cents. Pitou is simultaneously the most interesting and most surface level of all of the Royal Guards. When thinking of the guards, you have to think on their nature, and with Pitou in particular, they're a cat! Which is to say, they are very straightforward and open with their interests and the things that they care about. Pitou in the beginning enjoyed playing with their food, we see that with Kite, but with the birth of the King, their interests shifted solely to how they, in their own way, can best serve Meruem. This contrasts with the other guards in a rather nuanced way. Pouf wants to serve the king, but only the idealized version of his king that he has in his head. Youpi wants to serve the king, but primarily out of his loyalty due to the genetic hierarchy (due to his nature as only being created from magical beasts and because of his limited mental capacity). Pitou wants to serve the king, and does so through carrying out what the king ACTUALLY wants. Pitou in many ways is the only member of the guards who actually wants to serve the Kings spoken declared interests. It doesn't have a concept of who the king should be, because to Pitou the king is just the king. When Pitou sees how utterly destroyed Meruem is at the injury of Komugi, their entire priority system instantly changes. Pitou at this point is able to empathically understand that Meruem cares for Komugi with the same intensity that they care for the king, which ironically ends up making Pitous arc the most successful "humanization" of all of the royal guards. If Pouf had never sent in that phone call, there is a non zero chance that Pitou and Gon never get into their fight. It's only when Pitou, who is scared shitless by Gon's monstrous personality, is given the ok that Komugi is ostensibly safe that they feel like they must kill Gon because he has a will comparable to that of the king himself and (as proven by his transformation) was a huge threat. It's why Pitou's death is the saddest to me of all of the guards, because if there was a peaceful conflict resolution in Peijing with the Kite's actually dead situation, Pitou probably sprints back to the palace and instantly tells Meruem about Komugi. They then would have diligently waited by their King's side until the very end, meeting the same fate as him but doing so as the most loyal and dedicated of the 3 guards.

Remember when they were trying to figure out why Pitou stopped using En while Knov was infiltrating the palace? They concluded that she must have been healing the King, and that the King must have injured himself on purpose, because who else could injure him? Then Morel asked what would make someone injure themself on purpose, and Gon replied, “When they can’t forgive themself” (paraphrasing). That’s why Gon gave up his arm to Pitou and felt happy about it. Another thing: Pitou died, but her residual nen stayed behind. That was explained by Phinks from the Phantom Troupe as the reason they stopped chasing Kurapika after Chrollo had his nen sealed, because Chrollo wouldn’t have been able to defend himself against Kurapika’s residual nen if they killed him.

I think the biggest narrative miss Togashi made in this series was revealing to the reader that Kite was dead. We would have been able to feel Gon’s drive to save him, as well as his despair and shock at the reveal that it was impossible so much more sharply if we thought he was still alive also.

I understand your point but I think the point of revealing Kite's fate early on just makes Gon's ceaseless drive to save him even more tragic, because we know how pointless it is. It would have also required delaying the reveal of Pitou's powers, which I don't think would've been a worthy trade off at all.

Like Ikalgo said they could all take Pitou on at once and she'd still win, she is incredibly powerful, even more so than Youpi.
