It was the moment we all looked at each other and shook hands…Compared to the people, the information I got from the tombs was just a bonus.” (Viz media translation) “When we finally set foot in the tomb, what made me happiest wasn’t seeing it with my own eyes. Ging explained how he left home and became a Hunter to form a team and excavate certain ancient burial grounds. The best example comes from a story Ging told Gon in chapter 339.
He made Greed Island by connecting with ten other people and combining their talents to make a game unlike anything the world has ever seen. He is able to able to calm Gon down when he’s upset about Kaito by giving him good advice for making up with friends. He is the only major character who knew Pariston was taking the Chimera Ants from the Palace in East Gorteau because he made friends with the pilots and mechanics. For being a shy person, Ging is very good with people. Nearly every single instance has to do with the fact that Ging has a surprising degree of social intelligence, and makes strong social connections. However, there are also times when Ging is regarded positively or shown to be admirable.

He is considered to be a selfish, irresponsible person by the majority of the characters in the series (although there are notable exceptions), and is constantly criticized for this behavior. He left home at age twelve to pursue his own dreams with no regard to anyone else’s feelings on the matter, and only came back to leave his son at home and continue pursuing those dreams. He is practically the personification of individualism. I’ll start off using Ging Freecss to illustrate my argument. It is important to note that one person can perform actions (or possess values) in line with both collectivism and individualism. Conversely, Individualism is giving priority to one’s own goals and defining one’s identity in terms of personal attributes rather than group identification. I argue that the actions of the characters that are more in line with collectivism are treated more positively by the narrative.Ĭollectivism is defined as the concept of giving priority to the goals of one’s group, such as family or a place of work, and defining one’s identity accordingly. I believe that the narrative in Hunter x Hunter was heavily influenced by the concept of collectivism, due to the fact that Togashi grew up in the highly collectivist society of Japan. I do prefer Mariya Ise’s Killua in 2011 as well, but you can’t have everything.) hunter x hunter hxh hxh 1999 illumi zoldyck killua zoldyck video i love this illumi so much his face is terrifying kitty talks oh my god the filler scene with Gon and Illumi fighting is amazing it's so bad and exactly the opposite of why i like the the Killua and Illumi scene i think the animators just wanted to have gon kick illumi in the face the 1999 anime is a trip The juxtaposition of her occasionally perky tone with Illumi’s frighteningly still face just gets me every time. (Honestly, I can’t tell if the voice work is any better in 1999 than 2011, but I do still prefer Illumi’s 1999 actress.
(Starts at 5:18 if I haven’t embedded the video correctly.) It’s just a really great scene, and I definitely recommend giving it a look. Illumi looks genuinely terrifying at certain points in this version, while in the 2011 anime he just looks sorta strange. Just, the lighting, cinematography, and music all fit the scene perfectly, especially when it comes to animating Illumi’s face. Illumi confrontation just now, and I have to admit, this version of the scene is still my favorite. I went back and rewatched the 1999 Killua vs.
