Some Killua and Gon Moments

These are moments from @telehxhtrash's great analysis on Togashi's subtext for Killua and Gon's relationship (check it out for some more!!) Because her analysis is that good, I'll just be including two of the scenes of in it.

1. Rainbow Diamond Card

ID: Screenshot of Hunter x Hunter manga. The first panel shows Killua holding a card. The card is ordered in a TCG format. It has a diamond in the middle and is titled "RAINBOW DIAMOND". The description says: "A diamond that shines in a rainbow of colors. Propose with this diamond and she is guaranteed to say 'Yes.'" Killua says he got the Rainbow Diamond. The next panel is Killua and Bisky. Killua says: "I knew it! These dice are the key to winning the city." Bisky replies: "But it's scary to think of the 'worst luck' scenario." The last panel is Killua passing the card to Gon, while saying: "That's why I'll give the card to you." Gon replies: "All right." End ID.]

2. 心中 - Lovers' Suicide

ID: Two screenshots of the Hunter x Hunter manga. The first is Killua with a black background. He says: "Once I've finished charging, I'm heading back to Gon. You hwad over to where Knuckles is, okay?" The next panel is Killua kneeled next to an outlet. He is talking to Meleoron. Killua says: "With Pufu out of the barrier, the chances are high that the boss has been taken out. Stake out the situation and talk with Knuckle. The two of you decide what to do and don't rule out retreat." The next panel is a close up of Killua once again. The background is black again. Killua says: "Now that Gon's like that, he's not going to move an inch... so worst-case scenario, it'll be a double suicide." The last panel is of Meleoron. He looks conflicted and his peech bubble simply has ellipses.

The next image is another screenshot of the manga, this time in Japanese. It is a close up of Ikalgo's eyes. According to the translation provided by Tele, the original poster of the analysis, Ikalgo says: “We were… No, KILLUA was ready to commit shinjuu with Gon”. End ID]

In the first panel, what Killua says in Japanese is 心中 (shinjuu). In media, this is used in reference to lovers who commit double suicide together, those who share love. Killua and Gon's bond is so profound that Killua is ready to die with Gon because he needs to be with Gon. He is done running away, realizing it was the needle that his brother had placed in him that had him running away from Gon.

I recommend reading the whole analysis because Tele described their relationship so much better than what I could write and its a great read! Anyways,

Vote Killua and Gon
