Kite HxH

Currently working on another skateboard how about that? Ballpoint pen and white paint, Anyone wanna guess the character?

5-5 happy birthday to our brightest sunshine!! ☀☀☀

Also without Kite, it’s not impossible that Gon would’ve never left Whale Island. End if he did leave the island, it’s hard to tell when and whether he’d do it the right year to meet Killua during the exam.

First off everything takes place on a Federation starship called the Blue Planet, flying under Captain Biscuit Krueger. I’m thinking that the Blue Planet is a Nebula-class vessel that performs various research and scientific missions on the edges of Federation territory and explored space, which gives a lot of potential for shenanigans. Bisky herself is an allasomorph from Daled IV, unbeknownst to most of her crew (or most of Starfleet for that matter), and she is blatantly ignoring the civil war on her home planet because unlocking the mysteries of the universe is a lot more fun. 

Well that’s the scene set, so now let’s get on to the main four!

Knuckle and Shoot are introduced in the CAA and it appears obvious that they are meant to act as foils of respectively Gon and Killua.

This is something strengthened also by them being matched with the two boys in what is presented as a competition, but is later revealed to be a training session:

At the same time though, this pair is also quite different from the one formed by Gon and Killua to the point that their development can easily be seen as an alternative to the one Gon and Killua have in the CAA.

This analysis will try to focus on the similarities Shoot and Knuckle share respectively with Killua and Gon and the way they are different from the two protagonists.

What is more, I will also try to explore the fact that their powers are metaphors for social institutions and how this is important in an arc where humans have to fight creatures representative of the force of nature. I have talked about this also in Youpi’s meta, so now I will try to develop it further in relation to Knuckle and Shoot.
