[@flickersense]

Some clarifications: 1. Pitou's body attacked Gon, because her nen activated after death. Remember the time when Kurapika put his chain into Chrollo's body, and later Phinks told Gon and Kilua that the Phantom Troupe members weren't going to try to kill Kurapika, because nen has the ability to activate after its owner's death(especially when the owner of that nen had strong emotions towards somebody or something). And he said that if Kurapika was to get killed by the Phantom Troupe, his chain might've activated and killed Chrollo. 2. I'm going to leave specific details out, but Gon made a restriction to gain a lot of aura in order to fight Pitou. I don't know if his hair becoming longer has anything to do with him aging, since if it was due to him aging, then his nails were also going to have to become much longer. 3. After Gon crushed Pitou's head, he said "Kite... i finished the job the way you taught me to", because Kite told Gon and Killua to crush chimera ants' heads to kill them. 4. Gon saying "you may have my arm" to Pitou after impaling her body, is similar to Pitou saying "you may also have my right arm" to Gon when she was healing Komugi. (I don't know if this connection was done on purpose or if it was just a coincidence, though) 5. A lot of other things that happened during this episode, were foreshadowed in some of the previous episodes, but it's going to take too long to list all it.

[@TheRandomThings23]

A bit of clarification on the first point. It wouldn't have been Kurapika's chain to kill Chrollo if he were to die, it would have been Kurapika's residual Nen that is fueled by his hatred of the PT to attack and potentially kill Chrollo, because Chrollo at this point in unable to defend himself against postmortem Nen.

[@thijsoostenbrink268]

The arm was also done because kite lost that arm during his battle with pituo

[@BigMoneyChao]

I honestly don’t know why I read it cuz i knew it all😂

[@senbujohns4489]

I think his nails didnt grow because it wouldnt have been very pretty on him. Another example of nen after death. It is implied that after Ubo and Paku's death, their nen might have attacked him and caused Kurapika to go ill for a few days.

[@monish2011]

@@ozyssah I mean the reason most of the anime MC's are teens because that's their target audience and characters are easier to draw, but no one really acts according to their age because for a fictional character that's just a number, and for a good reason, it's not needed to make everthing work according to our world to make it seem realistic.

[@Chibistic]

​@@monish2011 The only thing that separates him from an average 12 year old is his superpowers which allow him to go on adventures where he can brute force his way through most situations, but the point of his behavior in this arc is to show what happens when the situation is too morally complex to just "punch away". Gon is 12 and has no frame of reference for how to handle something like this so he goes into emotional breakdowns. Killua is only slightly better because of his upbringing but even then the arc clearly takes a huge mental toll on him and he breaks down in tears during like 3 battles. They're kids and they're written like actual kids, with superpowers.

There are so much parallels in this episode that proves Togashi's masterclass storytelling 1. When Gon transformed his face was skull-like, it's abstract and it's scary. It's reminded of the time on Netero's final moments that the King felt fear where he said "Don't underestimate humanity's infinite potential for evolution/malice" 2. Gon didn't stop punching Pitou's head until it was completely smashed. When Gon fought one of Yunju's men with Kite, he used Scissors to cut him, but it almost got him killed. Kite reminded him to completely destroyed the head to make sure the chimera ant is dead. But he forgot one detail on the next one 3. Gon hasn't fought any chimera ant that knows Nen. So he forgot Nen can activate after death, as what Phinks said at the end of York New City. 4. Gon was happy his arm got cut off, he's the same as Kite. But he also relate to Pitou because to heal Komugi, Pitou broke his arm and said the same words "You can have my arm" like Gon did when he impaled Pitou's corpse.

that’s why the yorknew arc is very important since they explain a lot about nen, but most reactors forgot about what they explain about nen and when they reach here they don’t “understand” how gon can turn to that and how dead pitou can move. But since reactors don’t continuously watch every episode (they watch other stuff too), unlike normal anime watchers and manga readers, so it’s ok. Just hope they (most reactors) read comments since someone always re-explain how nen works.

Just a heads up (though they might be finished by now).

Now that they’ve gotten here. I can safely say this without worry of spoilers. This transformation is basically the culmination of gon’s character throughout the entire show. In earlier arcs and throughout this one, gon has been seen to make very childlike, immature decisions based on a juvenile sense of morality. Many characters such as zepile, wing, bisky, etc. have called into question how simple minded he is and how gon doesn’t care about right and wrong, but moreso what is important to him (like a child). Togashi purposely made this aspect of his character stand out in the very ADULT ruthless world of hxh. In this arc, we see gon descend into morbid madness, yet he still remains a childlike hope that kite is still alive. When all of this is crushed at pitou’s revelation of kite’s death, gon loses that childlike innocent thinking, hence that ADULT GON transformation.

Nahid is right about the hair lol how is it weird? He aged himself, so imagine that he hasn’t cut his hair in decades

[@Glacius91]

I agree that it's because he forced himself to age, but the "problem" with that is that his nails would also have grown like crazy (and beard too)

[@Александар-ш1ж]

@@Glacius91 He didn't age, he used his Hatsu and enchaced his body, he sacrafised his Nen for powerfull aura by conditioning only to use it until he killed pitou, and that let him do it.

[@Lrodpotato]

@@Glacius91 I never saw it as aging. It merely appears as he did since he is a child after all. To me its more like he used all his life force to enhance everything about him. Which is why he grows taller to accommodate his growing muscles, hair gets longer but he doesn't necessarily grow a beard or nails like you said. He basically just enhanced all his current characteristics to their limit. Which what enhancers do like for example Palm is able to enchance her hair to be stronger and long enough to cover her entire body to both attack and defend or like Uvo could bite through someone's skull or enhance his voice enough to damage your ears. Or it could've be a just an aesthetic choice from the mangaka for the sake of the viewers and nothing actually changes about Gon other than the power he's gaining in exhange for his life which alters his appearance. (Kinda like Ichigo's Final Getsuga Tenshou which makes his hair black and long and even alters his eye color but as soon his powers are gone, all that disappears.)

[@Erick-hn6hg]

@@Glacius91 well true but I think gon would just look weird with long nails. Im pretty sure Togashi that this too so the best way to represent this would be just with hair.

[@522eds]

Gon learning of Kurapika's covenants with himself to increase Aura definitely had influence. Masterpiece of an episode.

[@Camuska]

This episode is the best written piece of anime ever, and HxH is not even in my top 10 manga, but THIS (Well the entire arc) is probably the best written thing ever. It is slow, built, developped. You love, you hate. You feel depression to the highest level. You had such a connection to the characters that a single glance means so many things, a single sentence has deep meanings.

[@karlluigi1987]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? Gon lost his arm? That never happened before????

[@SHOCKERSTEEL]

The most sad thing about this episode is what Killua says when he sees Gon, that this grown up Gon (Massive Aura) version would have inevitably happen decades later in Gon's life if he had been training regularly. meaning Gon sacrificed all that talent and potential along with his Nen for revenge. P.S.: Their Master (Wing) who taught them Nen also said at one point: "Master, I think I may have awakened a MONSTER".

[@frankgreenwood4649]

'He's almost being childlike, not computing that he's dead.' Hmm, I wonder why Gon, a child, is acting childlike...

[@thomasfairburn5254]

The long hair is bit of a reference to Yu Yu Haksho, Togashi's other work as Yusuke when transformed as a demon his hair grew extremely long. Also a bit of a cultural thing as having extremely long dark hair has been portrayed as demonic in Japanese media..

[@user-un-known]

Long hair is demonic in our media?? First time hearing that... and I been a jp man for almost 40 years. You sure about that being a "cultural" thing? Also, since Gon literally aged his body, his hair becoming long is only natural. Without any references.

[@thomasfairburn5254]

@@user-un-known I think so from what I've seen with how extremely long dark hair is portrayed in Japanese media at least when certain characters get really creepy or dark, the long hair gets played up for effect. Then again it may be more of a trope.

[@arthursboypusshe3613]

Idk if this needs to be said but when Pitou said Gon was as powerful as the king, they meant the King before he was reborn (since Pitou doesn’t even know anything happened to him)

[@Yannou444]

If you’re wondering how pitou was able to attack even after it died. It was said in the yorknew arc that nen becomes more powerful (or evolves) after death. That was the reason the troop couldn’t kill kurapika because he pit his nen in chrollo. Also SPOILER WARNING ⚠️... I’m pretty sure in the manga during the chrollo vs hisoka fight chrollo used an ability that he stole from a dead person that was incredibly more powerful. Don’t quote me on that last part tho I’m not 100% sure.

[@rapmabida9813]

It's the bombs he got from the elder in their hometown

[@camargo1805]

Yes. Moon and Sun. And there is another example of nen after death on the manga 😉

[@Kal911]

If I recall it didn’t get more powerful the ability itself, but it’s nen got strong enough to remain in the book even after death.

[@xKillerx92x]

he stole the ability but when the elder was dead the ability didn't disappeared from the book for the nen after death boost

[@Александар-ш1ж]

Chrollo did get the Sun and Moon marks from the Elder in Meteor city, you are right.

[@kelvindestama8026]

This is one of the greatest anime episode in history

[@Wuffskers]

Glad you guys understood that this was basically a nen contract, some people don't get that at first. Generally nen contracts and restrictions give power proportional to whatever you're sacrificing or restricting, so just think about how strong Netero was and he still couldn't beat the king, yet Pitou says Gon is as strong as the king, so he has to give up A LOT to get this kind of power.

[@vicentematiasmunoz487]

This is one of the best subversions of anime tropes. Usually a big power up is presented as triumphant, light and earned (the greatest example is the Super Saiyan transformation). Here, Gon got the power in exchange for his own life, he got the power he would've developed in years of training (in contrast to Netero, who did do that), wich came at enormous cost and is presented in a frightingly dark and depressing way. He got the power he wanted at the biggest cost possible.

[@prakashverma1183]

12:23 I know suraj, Pitou is pretty cute.

[@TheFiddler69]

Just one thing I would like to point out, because of all the comparisons with Bisky, Gon actually never saw Bisky in her muscle form so he didn't take it from that. He came up with this power by himself.

[@queensaharaice7376]
