BackgroundĪt the age of twenty two, Ging Freecss returned home to Whale Island for the first time in ten years carrying his infant son, Gon. It is also shown that if someone explains math and calculation too much to him, his head will release steam and eventually explodes like when Knuckle manages to knock him down while explaining about aura calculation. The prime example is he miscalculates the weight of the challenge doors at Zoldyck's estate until Kurapika has to correct him or he misreads the price tag as five hundred, eighty million and Killua has to correct him as five billion, eight hundred million. Gon's greatest insecurity lies in his own weakness and not being able to protect those who are closest to him.Ī running gag in the series is that he often has a problem with math and numbers. Aside from becoming a Hunter and finding his father, Gon desires strength above all else. Togashi initially portrays this as naïveté. He refuses to accept himself as inferior to any opponent that he disagrees with, including those clearly stronger than him. Sometimes, he does not realize when the opponent is far stronger or even after he knows the opponent is stronger than him regardless, he will continue to fight. Gon is extremely confident in his abilities. At the apex of his mental breakdown, he was willing to kill Komugi if Neferpitou did not accept his request and ultimately accepted to give up his own life to kill the Ant. During this descent into anger, he became extremely vengeful and single-minded, only focusing on making Pitou fix Kite, and if it weren't for Killua, he would've likely gotten Komugi killed. When Kite died facing Neferpitou, Gon blamed himself for being too weak and entered a destructive and self-destructive spiral. Notably, however, he did not even think about warning Agon when the latter was about to cross paths with Hisoka, despite knowing fully well that the encounter would inevitably result in the man's death, all for the sake of obtaining the magician's tag. He never judged Killua for his past as an assassin, but he snapped at Illumi when he started to suspect that, rather than Killua killing because he was not taught to value life, his family was forcing him to do so regardless of how he felt about it. Despite wanting to put a stop to the actions of the Phantom Troupe, Gon never hated them until he discovered they were capable of feeling emotion and empathy. He thanked Binolt, a serial killer, after he helped him get stronger, and, in spite of being aware of how dangerous he is, Gon admires Hisoka for his might. His morality is complex, almost juridical: Gon values life and ethics, but he can dissociate his personal feelings from them. Zepile remarked on how Gon "doesn't care about the good or the bad" when he is curious or amazed. Often it is difficult for others to understand or relate Gon's actions or thoughts to what people would consider "normal" thinking, with some believing him to be a little insane. The prime example is in the third stage of the Hunter Exam in which he can think clearly enough under heavy stress to find the way to get through the locked door to the finish line with all his companions by breaking the wall to lead to the finish line in time, which is the feat not even level-headed people like Kurapika or Killua can think of. When Gon is cool-headed, it is shown that he can think very creatively and thoughtfully to solve a problem. While his will is stronger than most and he can be very level-headed, this clear mind can also make him very cold at times. When his emotions are ignited, Gon becomes irrational and completely oblivious to anything else. But Gon's anger also leads to some extremely reckless tendencies. He continually strives to obtain greater power, often becoming exceptionally stronger in his anger. Though possessing talent far beyond the norm for his age, anytime his abilities are challenged, he feels as if he has to prove his antagonist wrong. Gon sometimes fails to think things through and such actions lead to him suffering. Simultaneously, his flaws lie in his temper and impulsive nature. Gon wants to become a Hunter because he wishes to find out the depths of an occupation that would cause a father to choose the profession over being with his own son. He has inhuman senses Gon has a heightened sense of smell almost like a dog's, he also has very good vision, as well as having a very keen taste. This determination and talent lead to both potential allies and potential enemies trusting in him and taking his side. Gon is an Enhancer, who are known for being simple-minded and determined. However, having spent a lot of time in the woods as a child, he is very good with animals. Gon is an athletic, rustic, and friendly boy who is searching for adventure. Gon's curiosity takes precedence over his fear
