i want to hear more of people's takes on them, because i think they're such a cool character. but every time i come across an edit or any kind of content of them the comments are all hating, like as if this fandom wasn't praising serial killers??

Before Meruem's birth they are off the rails because their goal is not here yet (protect the king) so they are just doing their little things (horrendously killing character we love). They are not devoted to a cause, but to Meruem - they're intelligent enough to see him adapting his ideas and struggling with his humanity. Pitou doesn't lie to their king, they obey with enough room to change in case of emergency, and they're good at doing their job that they ACTUALLY put themselves in danger when Gon's around because they know if they lose Komugi it's going to be a MASSIVE problem. At the end, they end up respecting Gon a whole lot ; either because they are seeing them as equal (very, VERY HUMAN TRAIT) or they kind of see Meruem through Gon (both lost/are losing someone they loved and are willing to do anything to bring them back + the whole Meruem/Gon parallel in the whole arc but this isn't about them-), probably both. Like a lot of the chimera, they gain humanity, but it's so faint and so slow you only realize it when it's over. At their end, its not a fight, it's an execution, and they made peace with it. Even with their human traits showing up, there's still the animal parts showing with frightening precision - during the attack of the palace her quick reaction time still catches me off guard, and putting them against Netero is REALLY telling with Netero's flashback of him "becoming a monster". Think about it : it wouldn't have been this impactful if it was Any Other Guards, it works so well BECAUSE it's Pitou, BECAUSE it's the one that is showing sings of clear humanity when Netero doesn't. I used to despise them, but seeing them evolve during the arc, it's difficult to see them go.

Do you know what part of this fandom sees that they hate them so much, not counting Kite's death tho ? They see them as a evil woman. A evil catgirl. And oh, we know how people are with treating evil women next to evil men in fandom in general.

So apparently, Gon looked surprised but also impressed when Killua killed Johness.

Literally how?? He seems to have about the same reaction as everybody else. Gon was shocked and horrified just like everyone else. One of the prisoners doesn't even have a reaction. Plus, we've seen his shocked but impressed look before with Razor.

Also, I always got the feeling that Pitou began to somewhat empathize with Gon.

I dislike Pitou because anyone against Gon and Killua I will have beef with, but Pitou's loyalty honestly gained my respect. Pitou instantly became my favorite royal guard because of their character development. Pitou is definitely a very interesting character.

Various spots around the city have been decorated with hxh characters, and of course, being me, the first thing I did was look for the murder husbands. And YES, I can confirm there's a Schwing poster. 😆

And of course, Illumi peeking out of the dirt. 😂
