GON VS PITOU! | Hunter x Hunter Episode 131 REACTION

[@rahulkun07]

I deeply appreciate how this scene is portrayed as the tragedy that it is in universe. This is not a great victory for Gon, this is not him gaining a new level of power through determination in order to beat an impossible foe, this is Gon throwing away all he could have ever had in a childish rage and viciously brutalising a helpless opponent. This is incredibly sad and powerful and commend the makers.

[@Zotube888]

When i first watched this ep i was silent for the whole 23 minutes And that's something form a talker like me

[@levynetoto]

it may have been a little childish, but I think Gon's sacrifice is sometimes underestimated, he was very attentive to everything in this final arc. If not for his sacrifice, Pitou would have wiped out all the other hunters in the invasion.

[@rahulkun07]

Gon becomes giga chad from a kid

[@rixz89]

yeah maybe, but he woulda died if didnt do what he did

[@jellalfernandes1309]

Helpless is not the word to be used for pitou. People easily forget she was a vicious killer that killed kids and took pleasure in torturing opponents.

[@Kal911]

Wing told Gon at the beginning of greed island arc “you must never do what kurapika did”, now you know why. Gon sacrificed everything, his nen, all those years of life, his own body, all he had to achieve his revenge. He wasn’t protecting anyone, he wasn’t fighting for a right cause, he just wanted to get revenge and throw away everything for that. No nobility, no selflessness within his sacrifice, it just a pure revenge desire because he didn’t give a damn about himself, he would have never found any satisfaction if he couldn’t destroy Pitou. I love how Gon is the deconstruction and negation of the stereotype of the classical shonen main character.

[@gausly]

kinda skipping over the fact that he really didnt have a choice in this scenario. pitou was mere moments away from turning gon into a corpse puppet like she did to kite.

[@Kal911]

@@gausly in that moment, yeah, but all Gon wanted was based on his delusion. Everybody who saw Kite's puppet understood that he was dead for good, no hope to "heal" him. Gon decided to held on that hope, that was merely delusion since it was impossible, and sinked into the deepest darkness of his rage to realise that delusion, because he just couldn't accept that Kite was gone for good. Also Gon can be delusional, refusing to accept reality and be incredibly naive, but he is not a stupid guy, after witnessing somebody else overhelming power he can be stubborn, but he knows his own limit and he knew that he couldn't win against Pitou on his own as he was, never. And surely he didn't decide on the spot to make that sacrifice, he surely alrady chose to do so if he had to, he was already prepared to make that sacrifice. The moment he lost hope, he lost any will to not do that sacrifice and went for it.

[@yukinarisan12]

you are wrong tho kurapika use an nen power to target memberd of the 8 only or he would die. Gon did a version of there teacher biscket but in the worst waqt giving year not the training for it. there for not gonna say aka spoilers!!!

[@Kal911]

@@yukinarisan12 Gon used the condition and covenant on himself, which was kurapika did, but Gon did something far more reckless and self-destructive, just like Wing knew it would have happened because of Gon’s temper.

[@termindterguta3514]

@@yukinarisan12 yes, kurapika restriction makes HIM DIE. it was on himself. there are very few people who used the restriction on themself. look at netero, hisoka, chrollo, bisk, kite...incredible nen users that their restriction are not dangerous for them. chrollo in order to use his great power needs a lot of planification, netero needs to give 100% gratification to buddha before doing anything but kurapika and gon are fighting with different restriction. same stuff happened with komugi, put her life on the line if she ever lost a game (even tho she didn't did it on porpoise). Kurapika gave gon a bad idea unfortunately

Gon's final look at killua kills me everytime. His expression conveys so much sadness, love and regret. He knows what he's done. He knows this is the end for him, that he'll never see killua again because of his selfishness, that killua is hurting immensely from this but it's too late to turn back now so he commits to it and loses everything.

Pitou's devotion transcends death, my favorite royal guard , it is the representation of the queen's heart.

[@so6p138]

If you remember, the nen condition being done by kurapika, that was showed in episode 47. This is what Gon did, his conditon is he'll use everything just this once in order to kill pitou, and the price is his life energy. Condition + rage

[@omnissiah7247]

Been a minute since I watched this in its entirety so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't vengeful Nen the most/one of the most powerful types of Nen? Which is why Nen after death is so powerful, it sticks around after death and the revenge aspect fuels it to be stronger than its original form.

[@jdogzerosilverblade299]

and literally everything. potential life etc.

[@so6p138]

@@omnissiah7247 It could be, but from Gon's perspective it is vengeful, rage, adding the condition, that's why it become so powerful. In Pitou's situation as we seen it, even after his death, his nen manage to manifest but it is driven by deep devotion and strong will to protect the king to his last breath. I guess Pitou also came up to putting condition in himself(devotion + condition).

[@ikuzo5847]

I always thought of the side effects of adult transformation To be some kind of nen curse cuz you need someone like nen exorcist to actually remove the side effect

[@ThiVasss]

@@omnissiah7247 Kinda but not entirely. Nen manifest through emotions and hatred is a strong one. There isnt exactly vengeful nen. Netero said something like that and his 0 hand was also very strong, even thought he had no actual hate for his opponent.

[@c3p6]

12:07 Phinx mentioned it at the very end of YorkNew, that the whole reason they stopped chasing Kurapika was because Chrollo no longer had Nen and if they killed Kurapika his intense vengeful Nen would still go after/kill Chrollo.

[@BalerionRS]

Some fans looked at all the episodes and realized that when Killua was running to Gon is the first and only time in the entire series you hear his footsteps. The working theory is he cared to much about his friend he stopped focusing on suppressing his footsteps. Cool little easter egg.

[@Joshua-uo1ee]

Fun little tidbit from this episode, this is the first time where you can hear Killua's footsteps make a sound (right when he's leaping to save Gon from Pitou). It's a moment where he's thrown away everything he's learned with training, abandoned it all to maybe have a chance to save his friend.

[@Sage10001]

5:06 "Gon's hair is going to heaven" well he had to pave a path to send a body.

[@boxiannn]

imo this is one of the coldest transformations in all of anime, period.

[@RareAcnologia]

This gets easily overshadowed in this episode. On his way to make sure Gon is ok, you are able to hear Killua's footsteps. And way back it gets pointed out that he learned to silence them. His worry and care for Gon made him forego years of training, something that was probably unconsciously done at this point.

[@animeworld5847]

@@ikuzo5847 Um, don't take this the wrong way. I am a huge Bleach fan and Kubo is very talented in some aspects. But when it comes to character development and tugging on your heart strings, Togashi has him beat. That's normal dho. Bleach is merely Kubo's first Manga and he is young. Togashi has been there for ages and lived alongside some of the best Manga/Gekiga writers. He is also very interested in human psychology and sociology, especially when it comes to the darker sides of humanity. So it is normal for it to transpire in his writing. Just like how Kubo who is interested in fashion is a great character designer. My point being. It's alright for people to point out if someone did something better. Even admitting someone sucks at something. If someone asked me what was the best anime I've ever watched. I'd say Legend of the galactic heroes without hesitation. It's not even in my top 50 favorites, but gotta give credit where credit is due. Bleach is in my top 10. But if someone asked me for a well crafted story. I wouldn't even recommend Bleach.

[@ikuzo5847]

@@animeworld5847 yeah that's fair

[@dimaudalow]

About Pitou comparing Gon to the King, the translation isn't exactly correct. In og Japanese, she says something akin to "his fangs may be able to pierce the King". Which implies Gon may have been a serious threat to the King (probably more of a challenge than even Netero). But this doesn't outright mean he was stronger, unlike what the subs say.

[@tiogriver8479]

This is simply a masterpiece anime episode

[@o.m.a.r3311]

Remember guys, Morel approved that Gon can be dispatched to deal with Pitou because of his rage but what they didn't account for was that there's a reason why he mustn't do it alone so they tasked Killua to go with him. Gon was so scary at the time that Killua couldn't say no to him. Scary to his friends, not me. And I know some people like myself cheered him on. Most reactors were like: "Equal to the king!?"🤐😶😶‍🌫😮 Me however: What did you expect would happen? Gon wanted 2 things. A) To kill Pitou & B) to die while doing it. Guilt & regret.

gon did something like kurapika did on his nen but instead of a contract, gon creates an exchange. He sacrifice his life in exchange for his future power/potential for that moment. He forced his body to grow into a time that he can beat pitou. Even though he still has some years to live, his body cannot withstand the instant change and will not revert to its original form. So killua knows gon is done.

I will give you answer about your question about the storyline without giving spoiler about the next episode of the anime. If you think HxH only following Gon and Killua, you're deadly wrong. The end of this anime is the end of Gon and Killua's arc. The rest arc in the manga is just leaving Kurapika's arc to finding the scarlett eyes, Hisoka's arc to kill Spider's, and Ging's plan to travel to another world. The Spider's will got their own arc too, and everyone I just mention will attracted by political kingdom's problem. That's super messed up once you read the manga. And worse than that, remember the author not in a good health and can die anytime soon (but I hope not) so there's possibility that this series will ended without reaching the real ending.

I actually thought that as Killua said Gon's Gigachad form could've been the result of years of endless training. If let's say that form looks like Gon in his 30s-50s, that could be 18-38 years of *endless* training. Imagine if he actually did. He could possibly surpass Netero in terms of physical abilities.

[@furiousdestroyah9999]

Well this form already surpassed Netero, at least in raw physical strength. Pre-nuke Meruem was only able to bruise Pitou while going for the kill, while Gon destroyed her face with one punch and then completely crushed her head with a few more. I'd imagine that at this point adult Gon is on a similar level to pre-nuke Meruem

[@masonm8351]

Scenes like this remind me that, while I don’t think HxH is worthy of being called the best shonen (but it definitely is top 3), HxH has probably one of the greatest, if not the greatest shonen protagonist out there. Gon manages to both have that standard protagonist optimism, but deep down throughout the entire series the viewer notices hints that something is wrong with kid. The best quote that sums up Gon as a character is when he is called a person that can never be appraised, and that he rides the line between good and bad. No other shonen protagonist begins the series at the most innocent and pure versions of themselves, and slowly throughout the duration of the story begins to lose more and more of their humanity to the point that they become monstrous versions of themselves.
