Hi, I Just Read Your Tags In The Misinterpretation Of "Gon, You Are Light" Scene ("#killua Directly References

Hi, i just read your tags in the misinterpretation of "Gon, you are light" scene ("#killua directly references something illumi said to him during the hunter exam") I wanna ask if could explain this part. If you have time, of course.

oh man, this is on me for saying YEARS ago i would talk more about this and i don’t think i ever did. so sorry…

when illumi confronts killua during the hunter exam, he tells killua that gon is “眩しすぎて“ (mabushisugite, “too bright/”too dazzling”).

this is the same phrasing killua uses to describe gon in the “you are light” scene:

both crunchyroll and viz translated “mabushisugite” differently in both scenes, so it makes the parallel less apparent to non-japanese speakers:

what i wanted to write in depth before and never really got to is that in both of these scenes, killua is thinking of himself as darkness, aka the exact oppoosite of gon, although he never says it himself. this is reinforced by the chapter covers/titles for these respective scenes:

multiple other characters like illumi, netero, etc, refer to killua as someone of darkness/engaged in “underworld work” (闇 商売, yami shoubai, lit “dark business”), but killua doesn’t.

i see the “you are light” scene being much less about gon and much more telling about killua. at that point in the series it’s the closest killua comes to admitting his own worst fear to himself, that he really is nothing but darkness – just like his family always said he was. killua gives up too easily – he runs away and abandons people like kite when in danger. if killua is darkness, then gon – who stays and fights against all odds – must be light. and if that’s the case, then is it really okay for killua to stay by gon’s side? because what if he really does betray gon and leave him to die one day?

It’s a bit old but, just in case you guys didn’t saw it.

I talked about it a lot but since the game would 'fix' and probably rewrite big part of the plot. I REALLY hope the Teikoku plot get more development/screen time and Haizaki get involved.

I'm still dissapoint that Kidou didn't react at all but mostly because they could involved Haizaki and they didn't.

Teikoku was an important part of the story, even in GO they were somehow relevant, but in Ares-Orion they were like any other team. What is the point of establish a pupil-teacher relationship between Haizaki and Kidou if you aren't gonna used it at their full potential? We only have "Haizaki learned Teikoku's hissatsus" and "Haizaki getting new hissatsu with them" but without any developement between the members. Haizaki is like "I’m like a Teikoku member but not really".

Honestly I was expecting Kidou to have a reaction like in the Season 3 and Haizaki being surprised because he never saw Kidou lost his cool. Some kind of drama about "I can get involved in your problems but you aren’t allowed do the same for me" because we know that Kidou didn't solved his problems with Kageyama in Ares and he would leave Haizaki out of them.

This would leand to Haizaki to get involved and interact with  Teikoku, the only ones that know what is going on. It's would explain why Haizaki have a Hissatsu with Fudou and later with Kazemaru in Orion, after all, a combine hissatsu used to be important because it showed a strong bond/good relationship between the members.

I don't know. I think something like this could work and the new characters wouldn't be leave aside [since this was the usual argument against our complains]. I only talked about Haizaki but they could also involved Mizukamiya since he is close with both, Haizaki and Kidou. 

Summary of Someoka's feeling in the S2.

Sorry, sometimes I forget about upload my stuff here too.

Send me some curious anons or just some asks about anything

Sometimes I like to imagine that Miyabino and Yukimura get along until someone (Kariya) says anything like "Who is the best coach/What is the best team" causing them to start an endless discussion about it.
