On the cultural lore behind the late Hunter Exam Arc and the Testing Gates Arc.

Hi ! Today I want to talk a bit about Togashi’s use of mythology, legends and lore as a way to emphasize the narrative in his story.

It’s no secret that Togashi loves to use details and symbolism in his story, but I think the Testing Gates arc is the one arc that uses this writing technique the most. In only a few chapters, Togashi manages to reference and intertwine 3 different legends to highlight the message in his narrative : Gon’s rescue mission is emphasized by the legend of Orihime & Hikoboshi, the legend of Eurydice & Orpheus, and the legend of Izanami & Izanagi.

As you may know, the early part of Killua’s character arc reflects the Tanabata legend, and it’s reinforced by the fact that his birthday falls on July 7th, the day Tanabata is celebrated. I’m going to link this post that is better written than anything I could ever write on this, so I suggest reading this before reading this post ! I’ll still go over the general details of Tanabata below though.

The legend of Tanabata can be closely paralleled to Killua’s early story arc.

Orihime worked relentlessly for her father and weaved the most beautiful clothes. She was very, very talented and worked very hard for her father.

However, Orihime lamented the fact that because of her job, she couldn’t meet someone and fall in love. All she craved was human connection, and her working for her father kept her from meeting someone and falling in love.

Her father eventually allowed her to meet someone, Hikoboshi, and they instantly fell in love.

But sadly for her father, that meant that Orihime didn’t focus on her job anymore and only focused on appreciating her time with her lover.

In anger, her father decided to separate the two lovers and forbade them to meet. (don’t take this too literally - the Zoldyck family in its entirety represents Orihime’s father)

As you can see, Killua follows Orihime’s story pretty accurately. He used to work for his family as a skilled assassin, the most skilled one in the entire Zoldyck family’s history. However, Killua lamented the fact that because of this, he couldn’t make friends. That’s his primary reason for leaving the Zoldyck Mansion : see if he could make a friend. And then, he met Gon, and it was pretty much love at first sight. The two of them enjoyed their time together, joking around and sticking together most of the time, until the final phase of the Hunter Exam where Illumi forbids Killua from seeing Gon and manipulates him into going back to the Zoldyck Mansion.

This isn’t how the Tanabata legend ends, but this is where the other 2 legends I want to talk about come into play.

Gon, after being passed out for hours as a consequence of his fight with Hanzo, learns about Killua’s fight with his brother and completely flips out. He proceeds to confront Illumi about it directly and asserts that Killua is his friend and that he’ll bring him back no matter what. After this, Leorio, Kurapika and Gon make their way to the Zoldyck Mansion to get Killua back. As they arrive at the Mansion, the tour guide proceeds to explain one of the particularities of the Zoldyck Mansion : there’s a huge gate that can only be opened by brute force. Anyone can enter, as long as they go through this door. And this is where it gets interesting.

The tour guide mentions that this gate is called “黄泉への扉”, yomi he no tobira. The gate to Yomi.

But Tele, why the fuck are you mentioning this, you may ask.

Because 黄泉, Yomi, is the land of the dead. Togashi is expressing that this is the gate to Yomi, the gate to enter the land of the dead : the Zoldyck Mansion. The Zoldyck Mansion is directly compared to Yomi.

In Japanese mythology, Yomi is where all souls go after they die. No matter if you were good or bad, you’ll end up in Yomi. It’s not Heaven, it’s not Hell, it’s just…. A place where you end up rotting forever. It’s described as gloomy and dark, empty and cold. It’s not burning in hellfire, it’s just a place where you just sort of wander aimlessly, empty for the rest of eternity.

And this cold and gloomy, empty atmosphere can directly be correlated to the Zoldyck Mansion. The tour guide mentions that this is the gate to Yomi, because if you enter, you’ll never come back, but this applies more to Killua. Killua is in Yomi right now after a trauma-induced dissociative episode. He was forcefully sent back to the Mansion, and is now being tortured by his family. If Killua stays there, it’s obvious he’ll never come back psychologically from this. He’ll be trapped in this meaningless existence, cold and empty, devoid of any passion. A life his parents chose for him, a life he doesn’t want to live, a life as Zoldyck heir. He’ll be stuck in Yomi, the land of the dead, forever.

But Gon won’t let that happen. He planned this rescue mission because Killua opened up to him about who he wants to be. He doesn’t want to live according to his family’s plans for him anymore, he wants to live a life for himself and be free. And Gon wants to help him achieve that, because he saw the good in Killua. Which is why he insisted he’d rescue Killua himself and will drag him out of the Zoldyck Mansion. He’ll get him out of Yomi.

Which leads us to the story of Izanami and Izanagi. Yomi is commonly known as Izanami’s retreat after her death, so when you hear Yomi, you automatically associate it to Izanami. And there’s an interesting piece of lore when it comes to Yomi and Izanami : Izanagi’s rescue mission. Izanami died a horrible death after being burned giving birth to the fire god Kagutsuchi : she descended to Yomi. However, Izanagi, her husband (and brother but we don’t talk about that) found himself miserable. He missed her terribly and couldn’t live a life without her. That’s why he decided to make the trip to Yomi to get her back. Izanami ended up pleading to the Gods of Yomi to let her go back to Izanagi, and the Gods ended up making her an exception and allowing her to leave.

I’ll spare you the details but the story ends tragically with Izanagi trapping Izanami in Yomi forever, her ruling over it and the both of them pretty much getting divorced.

Anyways. What matters is that when you talk about Yomi, it’s automatically linked to Izanami, and Izanami is automatically linked to Izanagi and his rescue mission. A rescue mission that also happened in HxH. Just like Izanagi, Gon decided to take the trip to Yomi, as the tour guide said, to rescue Killua from eternal damnation and be reunited with him once again.

Additionally and still in the spirit of the Yomi lore, the etymology of Yomi (黄泉) is uncertain, but it is theorized that it could come from 山, yama, meaning mountain. Izanami was buried in the mountains and Yomi was thought to be located in the mountains in ancient society, which is leading me to believe this could be the reason why the Zoldyck Estate has a mountain. So it could simply be because the Zoldyck Mansion is referred to as Yomi, and Yomi was thought to be in the mountains : hence the Zoldycks living on a mountain, fitting the Yomi lore perfectly.

There’s one last interesting thing about Yomi. Since Yomi is not Hell, it’s not where peoples’ souls go to get punished but more of a place of eternal wander, it’s oftentimes related to the Greek Underworld also known as Hades. So usually, when japanese media refers to something as Yomi, translators choose to go with “Hades”, which is the translation choice Viz made here.

So by insinuating the Zoldyck Mansion is considered as Yomi, it also connects it to the Greek Underworld, since the two are deeply connected. And interestingly enough, the first thing that pops into my head when I think of the Underworld is Orpheus and Eurydice’s story.

Orpheus and Eurydice fell in love at first sight, and enjoyed all their living moments together, however, this provoked the jealousy of one man who despised Orpheus and desired Eurydice for himself. After multiple events including a chase through the woods, Eurydice got bit by a deadly snake and died, leaving Orpheus heartbroken and alone. He couldn’t do anything but grieve and he lost his will to live without his beloved. That’s when he decided to take a trip to the Underworld in an attempt to get Eurydice back. Orpheus, armed with his lyre and his voice, was pretty much protected by the Gods as he walked through the Underworld and sang his song of love to anyone who would listen. His song and story brought tears to Hades and Persephone’s eyes, and Hades eventually accepted to make a deal with Orpheus : Eurydice has to follow him and he must not look back under any circumstance as long as they’re in the Underworld, or she will be sent back there forever.

I’ll once again spare you the depressing details, but basically, Orpheus turned back because he couldn’t bear to not look at his beloved anymore, they got separated again and Orpheus ended up grieving his entire life, ending up being killed because of it.

So once again, here, there are similarities between Gon and Killua and Orpheus and Eurydice. Falling in love at first sight ; Illumi despising Gon and wanting Killua for himself and his family, thus ending up causing a separation and sending Killua to the Zoldyck Mansion ; Gon deciding to get Killua back. And for this one, there’s one interesting thing, and I thank @gallyl very much for telling me this, but it’s very important to note that Orpheus got Eurydice back because he sang songs of love and proved his devotion to Eurydice. Gon did the exact same thing. During those 7 chapters where Gon rescues Killua, the word friend is highlighted 7 times.

Gon, and therefore Togashi, makes it a point to emphasize that his rescue mission is solely based on his love for Killua. He’s doing it out of devotion and care for him. Just like Orpheus rescued Eurydice with his song of love and brought tears to everyone’s eyes, Gon managed to go through every hardship he faced by highlighting that Killua is his friend. That’s how he managed to convince Zebro to let him train to pass the gates, that’s how he got to Gotoh and to Canary, and eventually to Silva. Because he kept on saying that he’s doing this because of his love for Killua, which eventually softened all of these people and made them get on board with his rescue mission.

Another parallel is the fact that Hades strikes a deal with Orpheus with a condition, and should the condition be broken, Eurydice will return to the Underworld. Here, it’s slightly different but still under the same spirit. Silva strikes a deal with Killua, making him promise to never betray his friend, and that if he does… he will be unworthy of his friends and will have to return home.

There are also a few other references to the Underworld in the way Togashi portrays the Zoldyck Mansion and Silva and Kikyo, but I won’t get into it too much for fear of not being too objective and reaching, so I’ll just go over one. The Greek Underworld is kept by Cerberus, a gigantic 3 headed dog. And while Togashi didn’t make Mike a 3-headed dog, he did include 3 different dogs as gatekeepers of the Zoldyck Mansion, thus keeping a connection to the Cerberus lore.

So by making one random character talk about Yomi, the japanese underworld, Togashi calls back to those two myths : the japanese myth of Izanami and Izanagi and the greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Togashi put imagery for both of these legends to emphasize that they are connected to the story, and as a way to further highlight the narrative of someone rescuing someone they deeply care about.

I never finished talking about Orihime and Hikoboshi’s story, so I’ll do it now! After being forbidden to meet, Orihime pleaded for her father to let her see Hikoboshi again, until he finally agreed to let them reunite on the 7th day of the 7th month. However, when they reunited for the first time, there was no bridge to cross for them to be able to meet. That’s when a flock of magpies came and promised to help the lovers reunite, creating a bridge between the two of them, and allowing them to finally reunite.

This is once again reminiscent of the Testing Gates arc. Killua asked his dad to be able to see Gon again, until he finally accepted. However, Gon found that it was hard to cross the metaphorical bridge that are all the hardships of the Zoldyck Mansion, until a bird finally helped him : Canary. Canaries are birds that symbolize happiness, freedom and that spread joy. On top of that, I could even reach a bit and highlight that magpies, the birds that reunited Orihime and Hikoboshi are mostly recognizable by their long black tail. Canary and Gotoh, butlers, are the main reason Gon managed to get to Killua, and butlers outfits are characterized with a longer back, reminiscent of a tail, detail that Togashi also put. So it’s easy with that to associate the butlers with the flock of magpie, since they’re the reason Gon managed to get back to Killua.

The Tanabata lore started from the moment we got introduced to Killua’s character up until Killua and Gon finally reunite, and this lore was complemented by 2 other legends that highlight this beautiful narrative of rescuing a loved one.

All 3 of these legends share common themes : they feature lovers who got separated for multiple reasons and one of them pleading to higher forces to let them have their lover back. There’s a common theme of love and devotion that ends up moving the higher forces and lets the person be reunited with their lover at last. All these missions were rescue missions done in the name of love : Orihime pleaded with her father out of love, Orpheus sang his song of love to plead to Hades to let him get Eurydice back, Izanami asked the Gods to let her come back to Izanagi. And Gon begged everyone to let him see his friend. He shouted on top of every rooftop that Killua was his friend and that he’s rescuing him out of love and devotion for him, and that’s exactly what made people help him get Killua back. It’s seeing Gon’s love that made people help him, just like in those legends.

So by giving us references to these legends, by making Gon and Killua follow the same tropes as these myths, Togashi is highlighting the beautiful narrative of Gon’s rescue mission. Togashi is putting little details and symbolism to give his story more depth and make us subconsciously link together a legend about lovers wanting to reunite after being separated, and two legends about people going on a rescue mission to save their loved ones.

Killua’s story follows the Tanabata legend closely, he meets Gon and it’s love at first sight, they are happy together, until they’re separated. Then he gets sent back to the Mansion, Yomi, the Underworld, which prompts Gon to organize a rescue mission out of love, just like Izanagi and Orpheus. It’s thanks to this love that he moved Zebro, Canary, Gotoh and finally Silva, just like Izanami’s pleads moved the Gods and allowed her to (almost) leave, and just like Orpheus’ love songs moved Hades. Finally, they are reunited by a bird, Canary, and a flock of magpies, the butlers, just like in the Tanabata legend. The lovers are reunited at last, after a long rescue mission.

I can already feel the panicked asks, “but Tele, all these tales end tragically, is Killua and Gon’s relationship broken forever? Are they going to die?”. No. HxH is not a retelling of common legends. It’s not accurately and faithfully translating myths into a manga. It’s using cultural references to emphasize some narratives, and here, it’s the narrative of two lovers going against all odds to reunite with each other once again after being separated. I’ll link you to this post by @/buzzykrueger that explained it better than I could, but don’t worry, I can promise you, Togashi will never head this way. HxH is not a retelling of old tales, and he loves to subvert common classical tropes. He already subverted them many, many times in his manga, and I can guarantee you that Killua and Gon will be fine in the end.

Also, yes, I’m referring to Killua and Gon as lovers in this post, because Togashi made the conscious choice to refer to 3 pieces of lore focused on romantic love.

Thank you for reading this ! If you’re interested, I’ll link all my references below! Also, Tumblr hates me and won’t let me appear in tags anymore, so reblogs are very appreciated. Ty for reading!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flower 1 : Bloody Halloween

The whole city packed into automobiles, and every year on this date everyone come to the Palace to celebrate the annual holiday on October 31st. A Halloween Party has started.

Caravansary of billionaire, businessmen, publishers break into one room of grandiose inheritance. Gossip columnist alongside Governor and Gangsters exchanging telephone numbers. Film Stars, Broadway directors, morality protectors, and highschool defector, they do not forget to come with their own original costumes. You could find all the folklore characters alive and devouring champagne, dancing under the sparkling lights, shouting their heart to the end of their lungs.

It was time. Fireworks would be light up from the swimming pool. It was the finale of the party.

The sparkling lights gone up to the sky and exploding sound follows as it disappear in the air. Not far from it, there I am in a vampire attire, was conversing with a group of young lads while bringing a cup of warm latte to later accommodate the heat my body needed in the cold night.

But my feeling was telling me something.

Somebody’s watching from afar. It didn’t take a long time before I accurately pinpoint the direction of said eyes. Like they intended to be found, two young men were on their way approaching. I realized this and excuse myself, preparing to welcome the new guests I was sure were looking for me. The tall one has long sleek black hair, coming as a mummy—a hot mummy, and the younger and shorter one has white-silvered hair with the same attire as I did, vampire. Only he got the fake teeth and I didn’t. I got the lipstick and he didn’t. I got the black wig and he didn’t. I got the dress and he’s in tuxedo.

And they were right in front of me now.

“Pleased to make your acquaintance, Miel-san,” said the tall one with expressionless face in the midst of vociferous condition.

Now, this was the part where it didn’t compute for me. How should I treat this kind of mind-boggling guests? I hardly even find a word to describe my experience right now.

“Yes…uhh and you are?” being your—awkward—self is always the goal.

“I am Illumi Zoldyck,” his right hand hides behind the other young man’s back, “and this is Killua Zoldyck.”

“Lemme guess, you two are brother?”

“Yes that’s correct. And you are… the youngest princess of Adonis.”

“Exactly.”

“Have you heard of us?”

“Umm, no. This is the first time we met, yes?”

“Oh. Ah.” His expression slowly came up to that pale face,”Ahahahaha,” he laughed like a maniac,”is that so? Well,” he grabbed my empty hand and began to shake it, “nice to meet you Miel-san.”

“Illu-nii you’re scaring her.” Said the white haired boy along with his little smirk.

“Ah, oh, yes, nice to meet you, haha,” instead of shaking his hand, my nine years old boney-ass want to just sit down and shake my head, “should we sit down and have a little chit-chat?”

“Lead the way, Kitten,” the shorter boy, now named as Killua Zoldyck was giving me the first way to one of the round table. I couldn’t wait to have a barrier between me and this tall-ass creep.

We chatted for what felt like fifteen minutes about NOTHING. I couldn’t even begin to mention what was the example of it because there was literally nothing, like obvious thing in the party, everyone’s costumes and other nothingness. Illumi’s face was friendly as he kept chattering. But his eyes didn’t give any sign of life. Killua was just sitting back and replied once or twice.

After it felt like forever in madness, I break out the conversation course.

“So, where do you guys come from?”

“Oh, we’re from the republic of Padokea, far away from here,” Illumi replied and nodded.

“What? How do you get the invitation? This party is for the people only.”

“It was from your Father.”

“Father? You know my Father?”

“Correct, our family knew each other. We’ve known each other since the 7th King of Adonis and still maintain our relationship until now.”

“Oh-My-God,” I was perplexed, “Excuse me, Illumi-san, I didn’t recognize you two.”

“Hahaha, it’s okay, it’s probably kept a secret to you.”

“Sorry, what?”

“Illu-nii,” Killua cleared his throat then turned to me, “we’re only here for a short business.”

“What business?” I get impatient and chased.

“Family business,” the vampire replied shortly.

“And that is?”

“Assassination,” Illumi said.

Hmm. Is the only thought I have at the time.

Wait, isn’t that dangerous? Who’s their target? It can’t be my family because Father invited them here, right? Or is it? Maybe another rebel or potential terrorist again? They are acquaintance for history and one could say these lads are the right-hand man of the King. He said it is kept a secret from me maybe because I’m not one of the kingdom official’s yet. Father never officially include me in the kingdom’s business yet. What if I have to use their service sometimes in the future? Or perhaps this is a way to kept the family strong as no traitor would summon themselves with an assassin family at line one. Okay. I got the situation now. And as relatives now they said hello to me while carrying their secret mission in this party. One thing I’m afraid of this get up though, if there will be no more Halloween party here, when again can I have a big party at my own house?

Wait, is my line of deduction right?

“Hey where’s the bathroom, young lady?” a boy suddenly came up on my left asking a question.

“Oh, there is one in the building, just ask a servant.”

“Thank you, Kitten,” the boy took my hand and kissing it before he ran off.

What was that?

“I don’t feel good when he calls me kitten,” I said, bringing a cup to my lips.

The white haired boy turned at me first before saying, “you’re not supposed to,” then he looked far away at the bridge above the swimming pool. With my cup of coffee hanging in the air, I curiously answered, “I’m not supposed to?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, by the way, so you guys here to assassinate someone as my father request?”

“Yeah, correct” Illumi answered.

“Well, that makes sense,” I said clicking my head and emptied my cup. The cup was now on the little plate on the table. I was right.

“Well, that was easy,” Killua said.

“What?” my head turned towards him, “What is easy?”

He just crossed his eyes with his siblings across his table then smirked at me. This was getting confusing, “Okay, I’ll be honest here guys, I don’t know what is going on in here.”

If it’s not me all the time. Look, I’m just really good at guessing what people are talking about sometimes.

Killua gave me a low chuckle. His left hand was slowly approaching me as I kept my eyes on him and he said, “nothing, don’t think too much about it, kay,” and his finger flicked my forehead before he instantly back away.

“Oww,” I rubbed it quick, though it didn’t hurt a bit, “but seriously guys, what was easy?”

Killua threw his body back on the chair and replied, “It was you—I mean, that was quick of you.”

“You mean I’m quick-witted,” as I deduct correctly.

“Nooooooo,” Killua protested.

“But I do has a quick wit for something that is happening to me. I realized what was good or not for me before it gets out of hand.”

The boy ruffled his head first then he rose from his seat and lazily said, “yeah, yeah,” then his hand was hanging in the air offering me another cup, “coffee?”

“No, thank you.”

“What?” His eyes flashed at me.

“I said … yes, umm, please…?” I said in doubt while putting my cup on his hanging hand.

“Kil,” his brother rose up too.

Killua put down my cup again as he his eyes transforming into a sharper almond-shaped.

I caught a sight of a man walking out of the building, he was bald and fat, wearing navy blue tuxedo, and was walking down from the bridge towards the garden. It was Mr. Jaime Bernard one of our ministry.

Slurping my now empty cup that I forgot, I close my eyes.

I don’t know who he is personally, but I guess Father said to him to wait in the garden as the party’s over. It will be an easy job for the two as the guests are going home. But I do know one thing, that this year Halloween is going to be a bloody one.

3. Star sign: Cancer, though I think the description isn’t that accurate

4. Height: 5′8″

5. Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

6. Favourite animal: Rabbits

7. Hours of sleep: I need at least 8.5 hours of sleep a night, or I’ll almost always get sick within 2-3 days and be unable to function at work. It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity and requires me to sacrifice my would-be downtime. (Sorry, it’s a big pet peeve of mine when people say, “Wow, I wish I had time to sleep that much!” It’s a soft spot from years of being chronically ill.)

8. Dogs or cats: Ah... I’m going to lean toward cats, since I’m not always in the mood to hang out and dogs are so friendly. I’m allergic to both though. T___T

9. Number of blankets: Depends on the time of year. One sheet in the summer, and a sheet plus a soft blanket in the...not summer. (Those are really the only seasons in southern California.)

10. Dream trip: Japan! I’ve gone to so many places, but @niyari-to-kitsune and I have saved Japan for our honeymoon because it’s so special and expensive.

11. Dream job: An author or a doctor in the Doctors Without Borders program

12. Time: 17:12

13. Birthday: July 7

14. Favourite Bands: This is tough. Because this question has come up a lot, and I like a shitton of bands, I’m going to put some of them up here for future reference (i.e., future copy/paste): Sublime, Nirvana, Everclear, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Led Zeppelin, HIM, Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Linkin Park, 311, Vaux, Skindred, White Stripes, Fun., Gorillaz, Mother Mother, The M Machine, Foo Fighters, Five Finger Death Punch, Hurts, Chopin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, SOAD, My Chemical Romance, Everlast, Blue October, Bad Religion, Alt-J, Oh Land, Hed PE, Florence and the Machine, AC/DC... And many more. I have songs from 1,646 bands on my computer. If you couldn’t tell, I like music.

15. Favourite Solo Artists: Jimi Hendrix, Adele, Beyonce, Sia, Regina Spektor, Rihanna, Pink...

16. Song Stuck In My Head: The ending credits song for BoJack Horseman. It’s even worse because the only lyrics I know are: “Back in the ‘90s, I was in a very famous TV show.”

17. Last Movie I Watched: Captain Fantastic

18. Last Show I Watched: BoJack Horseman. Just getting into it and filling the void in my life left by Stranger Things 2 and Voltron.

19. When Did I Create My Blog: I created this blog in 2010 to be a quasi-public, shout-into-the-void diary (like an LJ). I didn’t expect anyone to see anything I ever posted, then abandoned it for several years.

20. What Do I Post/Reblog: 80% Naruto (usually SNS). The other 20%: funny shit, writing references, other shows (Stranger Things, BNHA, etc.), occasional political piece or personal ramblings.

23. Do I Get Asks: I do, but I’d love more!

24. Why I Choose My URL: I’ve been using it on my social media and fic sites for about 6 years now. It’s a Sasuke reference (fans = Uchiha, and Sasuke uses fire jutsu).

25. Following: 460

26. Followers: 1,389 (love y’all). I’m still a tiny blog.

27. Lucky Number: 7

28. Favorite Instrument: Piano. Biased because I play.

30. Favorite Food: So hard to say. Sushi, ice cream, German food, creme brulee...
