What if the bomber squad ✨
First impression: oh just the arc antags they fit nicely into the story though but kinda boring
Impression now: pixiv has turned me over, i need to know more, i wish they had more character to them but i think their actions in the story so far are interesting (especially Genthru's fight with Gon)
Favorite moment: I love the moment where Genthru asks Gon to heal the others first, it really humanizes him, I see a lot of people compare him to Hisoka, I can see where that comes from but I dont agree, hes missing the presentation and genuineness that Hisoka operates from, when he says Gon should give up because he has so much potential he isnt sparing him like Hisoka is, he wants Gon to give up. Genthru lies a lot throughout hxh so its rly refreshing to see him sober up in this moment and quietly ask the greed island trio to heal his friends
Idea for a story: I don't have any story ideas, I do wonder what they're doing now in greed island did they quit the game? did they decide to restart? I can't help but wonder
Unpopular opinion: They're not terrible antagonists, not every antagonist has to be like the chimera ants (who got so much time to be developed) or the other villains who are reoccurring, they're simpler villains meant to world build and reinforce themes (like the rest of greed island) they fit the arc they're in well. You aren't supposed to sympathize with them. They're player killers, they're not like the troupe or the ants who are a glaring symptom of a larger problem in the world. TBH I have a lot of thoughts about the bombers because they absolutely could use work (especially genthru should’ve had more complexity) but for a 17 ep arc he was pretty good im not expecting some complex shit angsty shit from Greed Island
Favorite relationship: I love the three of them in a relationship I mean two of their names are Sub and Bara ffs lmao
Favorite headcanon: They do care for each other very deeply, initially Greed Island started out as a fun challenge for the three of them as friends just like how many of the other players started (they bought the game as it came out) but as the time went on and as they became more and more weary they turned to player hunting, bad choice since the game wasnt designed for that lol
