Gon’s Struggle in Hunter x Hunter Chapter 333
In Hunter x Hunter Chapter 333, Gon is in the hospital after his fierce battle with Neferpitou during the Chimera Ant arc. In a moment of desperation, Gon has unleashed all of his potential, transforming into a powerful form that is beyond anything he could have ever imagined. Tragically, this transformation comes at a great cost, as he is left in a state of despair.
However, Gon is not alone in this dark time. Killua has always been by his side and has brought Alluka to help heal his friend. As Gon lies on the hospital bed, Killua clutches his friend’s frail hand, his face displaying profound sorrow, to the point that it could shatter anyone’s heart.
“I have been waiting a long time for this moment. I thought I could make Fushiguro (Sukuna) feel truly envious,” Akutami revealed. Reflecting on the intense emotions captured in Chapter 212, the author added, “When it came to Itadori, I envisioned Killua holding Gon’s hand right in front of Alluka.”
Both scenes are deeply moving and touch upon the pain of witnessing one’s own self die. Though the circumstances are entirely different, the feelings of loss are strikingly similar.
The Symbolism in Hunter x Hunter
The scenes in Hunter x Hunter carry significant symbolic weight in various ways. When compared to the emotional depth found in Jujutsu Kaisen, we must acknowledge that Akutami has excelled in illustrating his characters’ inner turmoil with great finesse.
