mochi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Ging and this dude seem like a negative counterpart to Gon and Killua

Gyaos Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Basically, Ging likes playing hide and seek with the ones he loves or considers friends. 1

DangerMouse Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 She's calling him out on being an ass too. 1
Gyaos Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Wow. Woooooowwww. Asshole father thinks his son is a wimp if he brings friends along. 2
mochi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 oh wow Ging really is an asshole he thinks ditching your friends is strength 2
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Hahahahaaaaaa oh Ging. ... hahahaaha ...... I hate you. 1
DangerMouse Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 "It was only for Gon, really" Yeah, fuck all those other people that went in there.

DangerMouse Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Ging seems to be pretty much on everything lol.
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 That may be a loss, but remember his father knows he needs to man up and "find him himself". Bad guy time?
mochi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 this is sort of sad actually, Gon's being led to believe his dad is this cool epic person but it's being really strongly implied that his dad is a total shit human being who doesn't deserve Gon's admiration 3
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Gon you shouldn't search for your asshole dad. Go and live with Killua. 1
The1gairon Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 OH MY GOD THE ENDING ANIMATIONFAN COME HERE I CAN'T TAKE I--mmf-- 1

3ngag3 Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 A few things from this episode. One is that it's implied here that Gon does not know Kite, while in the 1999 series, they made it clear that the two knew each other. In fact it was Kite that told Gon his daddy was alive. Also, in the 1999 series, Ging didn't really abandon Gon. Mito took his ass to court and won custody of the boy. 1

Expand This is why I was told to watch the first episode of the 1999 anime before this. Sure they reanimated it in flashbacks here, but there the pacing seems more natural.

Sandstone Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 As someone who holds this anime in high regards and is a big fan of the manga. I have to say I have very mixed feelings about Ging, I think mainly because the anime/manga through the first half of the show builds Ging up to be an irresponsible deadbeat that doesn't give a shit about his son. I think it is more accurate to say that Ging is not malicious but rather is very bad with social interactions and people in general. Following is my personal assessment based on the end for knowledge of HxH it contains very light though non-descript spoilers for the anime and manga. Reveal hidden contents I have a feeling based on what I know that he probably felt that Gon would be better off without him and the life that being a Hunter as a father would bring. This is particularly evident to me in more recent chapters of the manga, and Ging is actually shown as being very sympathetic and caring towards Gon. Whether or not he regrets his decision to basically not be a part of his life is still pretty much unknown. HxH has some very emotionally and ethically complex characters in any shounen in general. I love that you guys finally got to meet Kite, I personally love Kite he is one of my favorite characters in the entire series. Other than Netero he is probably my favorite adult character, to be honest. He is also a major fan favorite in general, I think pretty much everyone here will really like him.
OwlChemist81 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 I'd have to say after seeing this episode, you're probably right. BRING ON THE CHIMERA ANTZ!!!
