Why is he so much more popular than Gon?
Why is he so much more popular than Gon?
He’s seen as more nuanced and relatable, which I get to an extent, but a lot of the writing surrounding his character is somewhat questionable. Also his electric assassin style and general design is often seen as cooler than Gon’s spry naturalist lad look.
He looks more fuckable.
He was godlike in Jump Ultimate Stars
he's gayer
Name one (1) shounen series in which the protagonist is actually the most popular character.
beat me to it
He’s a mix of the pretty boy aesthetic of kurapika with the cute shota looks of Gon, coupled with an edgy backstory he’s perfect fodder for girls who want to “save” a tormented character by promising to bang them everyday.
you can self insert into him pretty well, Killua is a cool kid with family problems who just wants to decide his own future
idk, most "asspulls" in the series center around him
not knowing nen when his whole family is nen users
headneedle
surviving the dart game
knowing about dragon dive
nanika
Dragon Ball Z.

Hasn’t Luffy been One Piece’s most popular forever?
The appeal of an edgy child assassin who has to deal with his jerk family is obvious. It's easy to relate to, it's cool to see him fight, and if I was 12 again I'd be all over him like flies on shit.
Because he's cool
>knows about dragon dive
>doesn't know what nen is
has he even tried to explain this
> he’s perfect fodder for girls who want to “save” a tormented character by promising to bang them everyday

Y-yeah, right, eh he heh
he's girly and feisty and obviously more willing to spread his butt.
You know why.
FMA.
I’ve heard people try to explain (with head canon) that he could have known of this ability but just assumed it was something like the phantom step thing from the exam arc. Basically he knew what dragons dive could do but had never actually seen the nen itself. Togashi himself hasn’t done/said anything because he’s a hack.

Killua's fans are almost exclusively homosexual men.
Otherwise you're correct though.
Killua's fans are almost exclusively fujos.
Gon is pretty bland until the CA arc.
Because he's the edgy cool side character. They by default attracts normalfags like clockwork.
luffy
edgelord fag fuck this guy
hes the brainlets favorite character
Gon's a retarded shonen default protagonist and has a kind of crappy design to boot.
t. Hasn’t read or watched hxh
Killua is cute, dark, and overpowered, the perfect combination for popularity. Leorio has always been the best character though, what a guy. I hate how much he has been obscured into irrelevancy except for his few shining moments.
You need to watch something before talking shit about it.
shotabait
what happened to the killua is cute poster?

As it's already been explained Gon is a retarded generic shounen mc so he obviously stands out from such a shitty character.
>better written
>more interesting
>cooler powers
>cuter
it's hard to think of reasons why anyone would prefer Gon desu
Because gon pisses me off. He's too impulsive and never follows out the plans and has to ruin everyone's shit. Kind of like luffy
>spry naturalistic
Gon looks like a fucking boyscout with a tree growing on his head
Gon only ever make situations shitter for himself unless you're faggy enough to believe that Killua getting mental ouchies from Gon calling him out on not giving to shits about kite was actually a bridge too far.
