Komugi has nothing to do with Gon, user. Gon is the one making the threat.

I can never tell whether it is a while community that keep trying to hype this fairly standard Shonen or it is just one easily impressionable teen

Actually good writing desu. The classical overexaggerated hero would have stayed true to the same ideal no matter how hard the psychological pressure is, leading to unrealistic standards. Gon show humanity and weakness by showing that high stress situation can cloud his morality, even temporary.

Woah woah relax there with those insults. Hxh is pretentious shit, just watch Netero vs Meruem, a better example of /pol/ would be Bleach, with jews fearing the bankai, or Attack on Titan.

Why?

It's Yea Forums's Rick and Morty:
>Both sets of fans are insufferable smartasses who unironically claim their series "subvert all expectations and can only be understood by people with high IQs"
>Both are currently in indefinite hiatuses

AHAHAHAHAHA OWNED

>MC is overcame by rage when a person close to them is killed.
isn't that almost all shonen MC?

No.

Asspulls of Hunter x Hunter

Killua getting over his psychological urge to "run away when he knows he can't win the fight" by literally ripping a needle out of his brain is seen as an easy cop-out given that there was almost no build-up to Killua suffering from this problem in the past.

Gon's overpowered adult form might come across as this considering how out of nowhere Gon reaches the King's power.

Hisoka coming back from the dead after his fight with Chrollo. While it's true that Nen can do a lot of things, the particular method Hisoka used to revive himself (essentially, post-mortem Nen CPR) still required a good deal of artistic license – biology in order to work.

The fact that people eaten by the Chimera Ant Queen get reborn as Chimera Ants and can regain their memories. This seems to only come up when it's convenient for the story, and fans accuse this of another example of “death is cheap” in this series.

For some people, the entire existence of Alluka is viewed as this trope due to Togashi cheapening any real repercussions Gon would have had to suffer from as a result of what happened to him in the Chimera Ant arc. Instead, Gon ends up getting completely healed in the next arc thanks to a newly introduced character.

You hxh fags would have a point if Gon acknowledge he's been acting like an autistic little shit. He doesn't. He learned nothing. So tell me what exactly is the point of having a character go against their core belief if immediately afterward they pretend none of it happened and if no character points it out either? That's not a deconstruction, just more bad writing. The chimera arc was a good opportunity for Gon to have some character development but that's too bad, shonen authors really love their autistic child protagonists.

OH MY MOTHERLAND!

Fpbp.
Delete thread.

Which would have been all well and good if psychological pressure was actually founded and built up, rather than suddenly tunnel visioning on revenge to justify whiplashing the character and then moving on as it never happened.

Hunter x Hunter is a Deconstruction.

The typical Shounen protagonist will almost certainly 1) Fight the main antagonist of the arc, and 2) this is either to save or protect someone.

In HxH, Gon never even meets the main antagonist, instead just tasked to separate his royal guard from him. And his motivations, while early on was to rescue Kite, became completely different by the end, instead just based on vengeance and pure hatred.

In standard Shounen, protagonists gain a power-up when their backs are against the wall, and are fuelled by the desire to protect or to save. In Gon's case, the trigger is something entirely different.

Behind Gon's transformation is meaning, or, more accurately, the lack of it. Gon went through a whole range of emotions during that particular sequence... grief, anger, confusion... and in the end a great sense of meaninglessness. He muttered "I don't care if this is the end". He didn't care about anything anymore --- not Killua, not his desire to find his father, and not even to lament the loss of Kite --- everything lost its meaning to him. He descended into a deep nihilism, prepared to sacrifice everything he has, just for the singular purpose of killing Pitou.

Imagine. He risked his all, not to defeat the King, which would be more into the typical hero-sacrifices-his-life-to-defeat-the-villain we so often find in not just Shounen but any other fighting scene. No, he did it to defeat someone who literally meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. Killing Pitou won't bring back Kite. Killing Pitou is not as significant as killing Meruem. And killing Pitou by sacrificing your whole potential is a waste.

And that's why that final scene, with Gon looking back at Killua with an indescribable melancholy in his eyes, where you can see him just give up on everything, is one of the most disturbing and emotionally captivating scenes in all of Shounen.

>if psychological pressure was actually founded and built up
That's what happened throughout the series with Gon, though. He was constantly being described as dangerous, monster and capable of doing great evil.

Absolutely based.

A very annoying bunch of edgy kids who shit up any thread with their filth

>He was constantly being described as
Which is not a build up of Gon's character to that moment, especially when he was described in the other direction as well.

HxH managed to explore complex humane themes in a mature and intelligent manner, with the help of vivid imagery, subtle symbolism and parallels, as well as interesting characters and tons of plotting. Just to name a few: acquiescence, moral relativity, camaraderie, individuality vs the collective, self identity.
For that alone it is to be considered a deconstruction of the shounen genre.

I'm getting really tired of this thread

Yes it is. We always knew of Gon's lack of self preservation from his fight with Hanzo and Genthru. We always knew Gon was willing to go really far to get his way. We always knew that his morality was pretty messed up by the facts that he befriends assassins, convicted killers and child murderers if that benefits him.
So it makes sense that he did what he did.

A character being hypocritical or developing is not a deconstruction.

Do you have any idea what a deconstruction is?

Such GENIUS, no one has ever thought to make a main character like this.
Truly the deepest seinen and most superior deconstruction by the master Togashi.

Nice

Do you?

>While the series as a whole has received widespread praise,[134][135] the Chimera Ant arc in particular has been often singled out. In addition to being met with rave reviews, the arc has generated considerable discussion and analysis of its themes, symbols, characters and structure throughout and in the aftermath of its run. The arc is commonly viewed as a deconstruction of shonen and action anime;[136][137]

Everyone considers HxH a deconstruction. Cope.

I'm not watching an anime youtuber.

I never said that HxH isn't a deconstruction.

This but unironically
