No, idiots like you don't understand anything about story construction or setting up a tangible emotional payoff.
Having just one or two scenes in a long running manga/show establishing a relationship does not justify a massively over the top emotional reaction without any form of tangible set up and foreshadowing.

Of course low-IQs like yourself don't care too much and you're easy to please. People with functioning brains recognize hunter x hunter is not nearly as good as you morons love to make it out to be.
>>
>>288498590
>I thought he wanted to become a great hunter like him and explore the gay ass continent that we'll never reach
Gon (and you the reader) never even knew of the dark continent before meeting Ging. He did not want to become like Ging, he became a hunter because he admired Kite and wanted to become like him to understand what made it so great that Ging would abandon his son for it. He made finding Ging his goal as a hunter.

Father figure is just conjecture you made up, idiot. Kite had barely been in the manga or the anime, which had been running for a long time to that point. That's why so many people found that scene weird; there wasn't nearly enough build up or construction to make that scene feel natural or believable. It was making the main character go through an edgy character arc for the sake of it.
>>
>>288498608
>does not justify a massively over the top emotional reaction
Anything can justify it, even in classical literiature people have sperged over literal nothingburgers losing themselves over it. Its the story of Gon, not Kite. Gon could get attached to a tree and shit himself over it falling, it telling about him as a character. Thats narrative for you, kiddo.
>>
>>288498608
Gon's personality is the basis of the sacrifice. If you truly knew about stories or how characters react emotionally, you would have understood what the author wanted to do with that scene. You don't have to be very intelligent to see that it's not just a power-up.

Just using this word at all is a sign of extremely low IQ.
Hunter X Hunter is a long-running serialized shounen manga with superpowers. It's a fictional work for young boys. You are not special for reading it, idiot.

No, thats basic psychology. Kids need a mother and a father figure, and they grasp onto anything they can to get that. Gon had met Kite before he had even met his father, and Kite had helped him at that instance. Kite also had a concrete social connection to his father. Ta-da. the basic form of father figure is born.
>>
>>288498648
>classical literiature
You haven't read any, idiot.
Stop drawing parallels to things you have never touched in your life.
People who have actually read classical literature do not use words like "nothingburger" and "sperged". Such vocabulary is reserved for morons like yourself attempting to defend a poorly constructed character arc in a comic for young boys.
>>
>>288498660
No idiot, Gon's personality throughout the course of the manga and the anime up to that point is a very standard fare shounen protagonist. There is absolutely nothing there to foreshadow his over the top reaction to loss, and that's exactly why it's poorly written you laughable little idiot.

Multiple characters comment on how hes not right in the head, hes portrayed as an abnormal child which is why hes the best friend of a tortureraped assassin child named Killua.

Thats because it is for Gon, which is why its potrayed that way.

>>288498707
How am I proven wrong, idiot? At what point did you prove you're well read in "classic literature"?
You drew a parallel without going into specifics. This is something idiots like you love doing without delving into the nitty gritty, because deep down you know you're unintelligent, and wouldn't have a hope of reading even a single chapter of something like Anna Karenina

Stupid people like you sure do love indulging on made up words learned on 4chan. Anything to avoid properly articulating yourself with correct grammar.

>hes portrayed as an abnormal child
Under what pretext, my dear?
At what exact point in the long-running serialization did the story establish clear, distinct abnormality in his personality that adequately foreshadowed his reaction to the passing of a barely-known character?
His personality was standard fare shounen. Determined, friendly, motivated, trying to help people in need. There was never a moment prior to that chimera ant arc where you think "hang on, that's not right" or something even remotely unsettling. His relationship with Kite was also nowhere near detailed and well defined enough to merit a sense of grief the author imposed on the character. See it would make sense if the two characters had gone through a lot together, where the reader could really feel their bind, but this didn't exist.

Alas, this is just another case of shounemtards massively massively overrating a darker, slightly unorthodox story of the shounen fare. Meanwhile people with functioning grains see this for what it is: messy,poorly constructed tripe; very common in serialized works.

If anything, your example contradicts his reaction to death, and demonstrates a comical degree of inconsistency.
If anything, Gon should've oddly indifferent to Kite's passing, to the point one might suspect he's a sociopath. Instead he reacts in a completely over the top manner.

you're just doubling down on stupidity now after being proven wrong. anyone with a brain can fill the gaps with the information that is divulged about Gon's character throughout the manga without needing to be spoonfed further information.
you just seem like a rather dim person who couldn't put together the pieces unlike the majority of readers (if you are even a reader at all, which I doubt)

>>288505267
>gaps in information
No, you're missing the point, idiot.
The problem is the relationship dynamic between Gon and Kite isn't nearly substantive enough to justify the emotional reaction, which is exactly why it felt so out of place.
Being the blithering idiot that you are, you are naturally stupid enough to believe a few manga panels magically prove yourself right, but you are too stupid to quantify what substance actually looks like because you only read shounen garbage.
There is very little that makes up Gon and Kite's relationship. That character arc and reaction wasn't earned, and felt out of place. You are a moron with no idea what you're talking about.

anyone with a functioning brain understands that there were more factors involved in gon's breakdown than just how long he knew kite as a person.
gon wouldn't need to know ging either yet if ging was killed in front of him, anyone who understands the story and it's characters would also understand why gon would freak out.
we've seen him put literally everything on the line for this journey time and time again. and whether you want to acknowledge it or not, kite is the person who sparked his interest in this journey.
remove kite from the equation and the fatherless kid feels lost and without purpose.
kite gave him everything that forms his personality and motivations even if their encounter was brief.

I think >>288499439 gets it best. Gon is stubborn like Ging and doesn't like to lose or be weak, he'll even come up with more attainable goals like punching Hisoka or making Netero use his other hand. He also says in fights like against Hanzo or with Hisoka that he feels like if he backs down now, he won't be able to keep going. Kite's death was a mix of losing that control, and in respect to the aspect of fatherhood, Kite was his connection to Ging, his main goal. He wouldn't be able to confront Ging knowing his friend died and he couldn't do anything about it. That's also why he starts crying and apologizing when he does.

Every single shounen protagonist, moron. Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo, Goku, it's literally the same shit. Try reading something other than shounen, idiot.
>remove kite from the equation and the fatherless kid feels lost and without purpose.
You might have a point if Kite was actually with him during serialization, but he wasn't. He was not a big part of Gon's life, his journey, they had no relationship dynamic outside of a brief sequence of pages at the start of serialization.
Alas it's enough to convince low-IQ shounentards like yourself that there was some deeper bond, despite a complete absence of evidence.

Show some evidence then.
He loses in a fight to Hisoka. There was no page or scene where he is visibly angered by losing. He also didn't seem that bothered getting bashed by the bald ninja during the exam, and certainly didn't think about him for a single moment after the fight.
Hunter X Hunter fans seem to enjoy making up fanfiction to rationalize the actions of a poorly constructed character.

they're not meant to have the same relationship. the absence of "father/mentor figures" throughout gon's journey is essential to his character, that's why he doesn't stay with one for any prolonged period of time.
when he finally finds the one person who was somewhat a mentor in his youth, he ends up being responsible for his death. it's a pretty simple concept to understand which shouldn't require further handholding.
as for the whole "adult gon" transformation, there's more going on with that than just kite's death, it's also the esteemed hypocrisy that gon encounters with the ants valuing certain lives over others, which angers him (along with his weakness to protect the ones he cares about).

Contradict yourself much idiot? Finally finds one person? What happened to the scene at the start of the manga? The one where you stress the ACKSHUAL relationship between them developed?

He wasn't a father figure or a mentor, just a character that lead the way briefly at the start of an arc before dying. There is very little there in the form of a tangible, strong relationship, as hard as you're clearly trying to claim there is.

>>288505810
you're once again missing the whole point of the series.
the brief interaction with kite and his stories about going form the foundation of his journey, his obsession.
we see over and over that this obsession by gon has grown to an unhealthy extent which leaves other characters thinking he's mentally deranged.
togashi clearly uses gon as a means to critique the trope of such an obsessive person (who is generally the central focus of a shonen series)
the killing of kite or ging removes an essential part of him even if he doesn't know ging at all, and kite only briefly (although by their second encounter, gon does learn that kite is a very respectable man who lives up to all his idealization of him).
gin and kite having a deep relationship would actually be counterproductive to the narrative that togashi tried to push about hon being in his own head, even neglecting his real friend in Killua for this single-minded obsession
>>
>>288505974
what I meant, obviously, is that he finally found kite, who had mentored him earlier, again and soon enough he is left responsible for his death even though Gon was eager to prove his strength and growth since they had last met each other

Refusing to surrender to Hanzo, wanting to get back at Hisoka for getting KOd by the blowdart guy and subsequently taunted. Refusing to change plans with Razor. Refusing to stick to Bidcuits sure-fire plan against Genthru. How people across the series note jis insanity and drive.

Anytime he's insulted or beaten he stews on it. And anytime a seemingly insurmountable challenge is thrown his way he only thinks to overcome it. Pious triggered both responses and Gon couldn't cope so he became suicidally driven to correct things and make Kite right.

You talk like these are strict rules instead of just general guidelines, the story shows Gon cared about Kite and why, they spend like 20 chapters together along with him being friends with his dad, Kite was someone who managed to be noticed by his father like he also wants to be, he was someone he looked up to, besides that, even if you never see this person again, you would be pissed if someone who saved your life was killed by someone else, it's natural, you owe your life to that person.

In addition to the other answers, part of why Gon melts down so hard is because he's massively insecure about his strength.
>refuses to take Hisoka's badge during the exam because Hisoka is sparing him
>won't back down against Hanzo despite being outclassed, it works out in his favor but it shows how stubborn he is
>deviates from the plan against Genthru and ends up getting his arms blown up because he wants to keep fighting alone for a bit longer
So he's mad that Kite died, but he's even more enraged that Kite died because he was so weak and useless against Pitou.

To me it shows that this discourse starts and ends with the anime because people focus on Kite not being in the first episode and not on how Gon's character is written. Having not watched the 2011 show, I don't even know if they cover his breakdown when Pitou tells him Kite can't be healed because it explicitly states that Gon's anger is mostly directed inward at himself for being weak and thinking he had control over Kite's fate.

Only for many chapters earlier; Morel, Knov, Shoot, and Knuckles all noting that Kite went in too deep and deliberately touched Pitou's en which got him killed. Kite was the adult and made the wrong choice but Gon took responsibility in his own mind.

And this is why every poster talking about how long Gon knew Kite or when this meeting takes place in the story don't get what happened. It's not really about Kite, it's about a kid being angry that someone died and confusing that as being his fault. When the reality is the adult should have not taken all of them and backed out much sooner.

Kite is Gon's inspiration of being a hunter, and also closer to Ging than the Greed Island crew is.
Gon had HOPE that Kite was able to be fixed and Pitou took advantage of his human nature to draw Gon away from the King.
Gon even had hope that Pitou was freaking joking when it pulled out Doctor Blythe only to repair itself, which made the fact that Pitou broke its own arm hollow.

Also Meruem and Komugi had like 3 or 4 moments together but then the climax is them acting like they've been in a long fleshed out relationship. Togashi's writing is so garbage. I wish HxH pseuds would read a good novel and see how shlocky manga writing is.

>Yes, because he can only meet him if he becomes one.
>meets him in the same arc where it is literally required for every single hunter to meet in one place
Gon could have done literally fuck all after becoming a Hunter and still met Ging.

Honestly Hunter X Hunter was a mistake after Yorknew. The only reason this series doesnt get shit on because every beloved shonen series ever aside from FMA ends up being pure putrid dogshit down the line or at the very end. HxH somewhat sticks the landing with some kino moments despite terribly cringey parts, endless filler dogshit and the worst asspulls in shonen. It had a good message at the end unlike AI generated dogshit zoomer slop that has nothing to say like JJK

HxH shouldve fucking ended and never mentioned the dark continent but all these shitty shonen authors cant help dumping on their series

why are you raping yourself hisoka

A. Gon is going ballistic and saying shit he wouldn't normally to do anything he can to hurt Pitou
B. Threatening and actually killing are very different
unsocialized retard discovers people can act inconsistent when they get highly emotional

Do you think he knew that before setting out on his adventure? If not, how do you think him not knowing that affected his mentality and goals?

Irrelevant. The point is Gon being a "great hunter" was never a requirement to meet Ging because Ging would be shoved in his face regardless. Blame Togashi for choosing to write it that way.

>they won't just throw away their lives for someone
Gon is not some normal kid and we've seen how insane he is when it comes to anything really. How many kids do you know can have someone break their arm and they harbor no anger over that fact and still insist that the fight should go on even though he knows he's outclassed?

>Also he got healed in the next arc anyway so his dramatic big explody sacrifice was just poorly written melodrama with no consequences
He still fucked up his relationship with Killua and effectively wrote himself out of the plot and has no powers.
>but then the climax is them acting like they've been in a long fleshed out relationship
Surprisingly, people can fall in love fast and if someone as single-minded in her devotion to Gungi can find someone she loves, of course she will choose death to stay by their side. Same with Meruem, he clearly shows that Komugi is not just an individual to him, but someone he considered his equal and mentor. That alone gives her more value in his own eyes as he doesn't view many humans like that, really just her and Netero.
