i can’t believe leorio fucking yells at gotoh over the phone using keigo (honorific language, v formal, often used for like…subordinate/superior relationships. not necessarily out of place for this context, if it weren’t for…the yelling lmao)
also worth noting that when gon had the same kind of conversation with gotoh, he used more formal language than usual (not keigo, but masu forms - he’s at about the age when japanese kids actually start learning keigo, i think) but only in the first call - he reverted to his usual speech pattern when he yelled at gotoh
The reason Killua knows the rules for how Alluka and Nanika works?
He asked her. That’s it.
“I asked for her to tell me how to turn her eyes back.”
Killua asked her, and he listened to her, and he respected her rules about herself.
(Hint hint hint if the gender identity connection wasn’t clear enough by now.)
That’s all. He’s the only one to ever talk directly to her, and ask.
What are hxh's themes?
Eeeeek okay. So HxH had a ton of themes, some unique to each arc, some overarching.
I’d say the overarching ones I’ll chat about here are growing up (aka responsibility), recovery from trauma, discovery, the importance of connection, and human nature. These are explored differently in each arc, though. First, I want to address overarching themes as addressed in the character development since HxH fundamentally addresses its themes through both character development and worldbuilding, and then I’ll briefly talk about each arc.
So let’s start with the premise. Here are our three main protagonists (there is a fourth but he doesn’t have an arc so I shan’t talk about him as much).
Gon–>a boy on a quest to find his father.
Killua–>a boy on a quest to escape his family.
Kurapika–>a boy on a quest to avenge his tribe.
Notice how it expands, showing us the importance of both self-discovery, connection, and discovery of the world in these quests and therefore the character development.

Remember mama Kurapika? Well, here’s papa Leorio and that disgusting stubble attack that every dad does to his kids. Ugh, dads!
