#zepile

fun fact: according to the databook (which isn't 100% realiable), paku is a little taller than chrollo (in the manga it isn't very visible but in the 1999 adaptation it's more clear).

I DREW THIS WITH MY FINGERS I'M UNSTOPPABLE

I love how Zepile’s little analysis of Gon here perfectly encapsulates Gon’s morals and sets up for his later actions. A lot of fans joke about characters meeting Gon and going “oh wow you’re actually really fucked up,” which obviously does happen but it’s rare to see someone understand him as quickly as Zepile did. Which makes sense, Zepile has built his trade off of being able to read people. That explains why this tidbit comes from him rather than someone closer to Gon

He goes on to say that Gon didn’t judge him when he learned of his shady activity, but he didn’t appear greedy either. This is what most of the fanbase gets wrong about Gon, he’s not inherently an evil person. I would describe Gon as amoral, he cares more about what interests him rather than if something is good or bad (as Zepile points out here). This is why we see him develop an attitude of “I will protect my friends and I won’t hesitate to kill anyone who doesn’t fall into that category.” I do not think of Gon as a killer, not in the way Hisoka is, but that extreme mindset comes from his lack of clear morals. This isn’t always a bad thing though, it’s also what allows him to see the best in Killua even after watching him take a guy’s heart out
