Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
How do people assume that Gon is the talkative one out of the two when we literally have this in canon :
I'm not saying Killua is talkative either, but what I'm saying is that both are kids , both are energetic, and both would be goofing and play around, greed Island was clear enough to prove that , yet , you'll still find some people LOVES to characterize Killua as this emo gloomy traumatized edgelord , well , Killua is not some Sasuke or Bakugo,sorry to disappoint you,
( not to mention how they love to make Gon seems " stupid and acts like a 4 years old " because that's a whole different story)
And I REALLY think it's unfair to mischaracterize them just in sake of them to fit with " your " headcanons and fantasies ( I'm not saying you're not allowed to enjoy yourself, I'm saying don't talk or act as if your headcanons are canon )
I might seem sensitive, but that's how much I value hxh and cherish Gon and Killua.
Everyone still interprets the “you are light” scene….WRONG.
it is not “you are light” and you are my sun and my stars and my moon – it is, “Gon, you are too optimistic and sometimes I can’t see what I should…” aka: logic
In that scene, Killua is admitting to knowing that Gon is an optimistic fool…but negates his own rational side and stays positive with Gon. WHICH EITHER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT – WOULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. If Killua said, “no gon, give up on kite and your optimism of him being alive” … that clearly wouldn’t have ended well. And the other side of it was…EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. Gon’s optimism burning and crashing at his feat.
Gon had a lot of growing and learning to do…it’s unfortunate that it came at such a shitty cost, but it happened. And Killua, his best friend, was there every step of the way. Just as Gon had saved Killua in the beginning, Killua had saved Gon in the end.
character….DEVELOPMENT. Friendship….DEVELOPMENT.
Exposure therapy can be among the most traumatic ways to work through a phobia or trigger. It can backfire spectacularly. It should only be undertaken with intense motivation, and carefully and slowly.
All that being said, when it works, it can also be one of the fastest ways to break through.
Killua is doing so much here, and under the worst possible pressure.
NO BUT FRIENDS
LEORIO IS THE BEST????
AND KILLUA TOTALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT???
UNIRONICALLY TURN TO LEORIO FOR THIS?
I LOVE THIS????
me, in the shower, contemplating life: honestly truly there is no child as good and pure as my son killua. he only ever wanted to make friends he treats alluka so well (and we KNOW he didn't learn that behaviour from the rest of his family). consider how MUCH he's willing to do for his friends, not just gon but kurapika and leorio too. this tiny tiny child is just so perfect and selfless and kind. contemplate how much everyone depends on him to be the calm and rational one... that'S SO MUCH PRESSURE he's 12!!!! but my son can do it, my son can do anything i am so proud :')) he is so cute and remember those little cat faces he does sometimes?? precious oh yes. and he is trying his best oh boy he's really just trying to do the right thing! truly nothing can compare to my beautiful, brilliant boy
pro tip: if your family thing ever makes you be an assassin just fuck shit up. run away. fuck up your brother’s mind control thing. become static shock. teach an octopus about friendship. start beating up ant furries. cry because your best friend fucked up and now he’s 32. kidnap your little sister. you’re twelve
To those who think Silva isn't manipulating Killua with the blood pact...
.... he actually got secretly mad when Killua brought it up.
"If I ignore a friend I have the ability to help, wouldn't I be betraying him?"
remember when 2011 had to censor a heart and there was apparently no better option so they made it look like… That
“Sorry, but I’m a little ticked off right now. So I’m just gonna take it out on you.” -Killua It’s so hard to draw the electricity realistically but I’m having fun with the process nonetheless. =)
And everyday we grow. Happy Birthday Killua. 07.07.18
This was heavily inspired by a sentence in @murderxbaby‘s beautiful fic WeHappyFew. + inspo by the gorgeous @decembercamiecherries.
HUNTER × HUNTER || chapter 85
A nice little squad moment that was changed in 2011 adaptation. Gon considerately looking at his friends... Killua and Leorio's encouraging smiles... 💞
In the following post I will attempt to explain how Hisoka nearly got himself killed asking Illumi for permission to fuck Killua.
This is the scene in question:
As you may remember, Illumi asks Hisoka to help him in capturing Killua to prevent him from using Allukas powers to help Gon. Hisoka then turns to Illumi and asks him the following:
ところで、僕はキルアをやるのは、ありかい?
Both the manga and anime translate this as
By the way, am I allowed to kill Killua?
Which is fair enough, except that Hisoka never mentions killing him at all. The verb he uses is やる which literally means “to do”. It’s used as a euphemism for killing, but, you guessed it, it is also a euphemism for, well, sex. But how can we tell which one Hisoka is referring to?
Here, his gesture comes into play. Of course, the anime is faithful to the original. This is Hisoka in the manga:
The gesture is even more prominent here.
For everyone who isn’t savvy in Japanese nonverbal communication:
His hand gesture appears to be セックス (sekkusu), lit. Sex. It’s used so you don’t have to actually bring sex up in a conversation, but still make it clear that you’re talking about dirty stuff. Usually, this gesture requires the thumb to stick out between your middle and index finger, but this version is sometimes used as well. Since HxH appears in Jump, they might have had him change it as a form of censoring, but that’s just me taking guesses.
(Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig_sign)
On the Japanese wikipedia site for this sign it says that the thumb represents the penis, and the index and middle finger represent the vagina, it is possible that for this reason Hisoka chose the middle and ring finger instead, since Killua is a male.
In any case, it is clear that Hisoka is using this gesture to communicate to Illumi that he is talking about dirty stuff here. The fact that his words could mean both things work in his favor. He probably just said that to provoke Illumi, anyhow.
And that’s how Hisoka nearly died because of a stupid joke.
I do love all the posts talking about how lovely and wonderful Leorio is, don’t get me wrong
But he’s technically not the weakest in the group. The 2011 anime just made him look that way
In terms of combat ability, yeah he’s probably the weakest. He hasn’t really used his Nen in a full on battle so who knows.
But the 2011 downplayed his natural strength a lot, which makes me sad.
In the manga (and in the 1999 anime technically), they talk a lot about his physical strength as much as his emotional strength.
During the Zoldyck Arc, he actually opened the Testing Gate by himself before anyone else after training for two weeks
And later on it’s mentioned that when everyone opened the Testing Gate on their own, Leorio was strong enough to move two of the gates
Weakest in combat skills? Probably. Weakest character of the main four? Certainly not. Leorio is a beast
whenever i see alluka on my dash:
The reason Killua knows the rules for how Alluka and Nanika works?
He asked her. That’s it.
“I asked for her to tell me how to turn her eyes back.”
Killua asked her, and he listened to her, and he respected her rules about herself.
(Hint hint hint if the gender identity connection wasn’t clear enough by now.)
That’s all. He’s the only one to ever talk directly to her, and ask.
