as a killugon shipper i feel like all the freaking out over noko making an appearance is a little Much whether it's good or bad cuz i highly doubt she's gonna play a role at all, if she SOMEHOW ends up being gon's canon love interest i honestly won't even be surprised in the slightest? i don't expect creators of media to make fanon ships (killugon) canon and i don't think it's a good idea to expect them to do so either to avoid disappointment and whatnot, however i can absolutely understand fear and mild annoyance at the idea of it as it would be fun to have explicitly queer characters in anime for once ... it's rare for creators of large fandoms such as this to even acknowledge more niche fandom spaces after all, and the only reason teams working on medias for fandoms such as tadc acknowledged ships was because theyre way more online (and also togashi lives in japan hence western fandom spaces are practically unknown over there LOL). imo what makes ships fun is the fact that they aren't canon and we as fans can interpret things however we like as they're purposefully made for viewers to see them in many aspects :p

i feel like the people hyping up noko being significant within the story when it comes to them finding the real woble are probably looking way too far into it as well because she looks WAY too young to even be leaving whale island (and also too young to be gon's future wife or wtv cuz she looks like she's freaking five😭) and also she's always just been a background character,, ending d where shes his wife is also scrapped from what ive heard too so it's whatever. she also seems to be mirroring mito and gings relationship so at most they're probably just comrades or friends. this is all coming from ONE panel so we honestly never know until they make another appearnace but i really doubt noko is gonna do anything. if she did and became gon's future wife i'll just be like Alright i guess, i really hope she doesn't get the misogynistic "i HATE noko and she should die because she got in the way of my mlm ship" treatment because that would be terrible, especially since retz was treated that way :/ i personally don't care for noko that much since she's not important so far but Please guys...i love killugon too but if she becomes his wife don't be Evil.....

but YAY im really glad killugon are back! it was very soon for my expectations as i imagined that they'd be seperated for years but hey at least they have another purpose in the story now :-) i think it's also good for gon and killuas development for them to just have a break from the training/fighting as they're indeed very traumatized children and hopefully they can just catch a fucking break from bullshit and (hopefully) peacefully find and protect the real woble. this was a huge bombshell tho and today when the chapter officially releases hxhblr will genuinely be FREAKING OUT which im excited to see.... KILLUGON NATION RISE!!!!!!!!

unrelated to this chapters plot but im extremely obsessed with the hisoka/troupe conflict so im REALLY hoping to see some hisoka action these next few chapters....it's probably unlikely but a girl can dream cuz it's genuinely all i think about OUGH
