Hey y’all, I’m currently rewatching the 2011 anime just starting the election arc and it’s so fascinating how every time I rewatch this I just find more and more stuff.
I don’t usually post but when I find something cool I usually just Google it and check out posts in the subreddits of someone who saw the same, but I didn’t see any specific to my point so I thought of adding it.
Anyway, one of Killua’s lines, specifically in episode 136, Gon is recovering and Killua says: “Everytime it’s the same. You keep running ahead while I gotta stay behind and clean after you.”
Maybe I’m overanalyzing but it really made me think about when Killua and Gon return from the Heaven’s Arena to Whale Island, and Mito is telling Gon how her first memory of Ging is of his back, and how she was always running after him. Now I can’t help but wonder if this was intended, but I think it’s a cool comparison.
Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts on this! I think it’s a nice detail that shows how Ging and Gon can be so similar.
