Gay hunter x hunter
A masterpost on Togashi’s gay subtext and why it’s intentional.
Hi ! After seeing so many posts about Togashi dropping subtext about Killua’s workable romantic feelings for Gon, I mind it’d be a good idea to make a sort of “masterpost” with all the subtext that Togashi has included into his work.
I usually watch a lot of people trying to say that HxH isn’t about adoration and that Togashi isn’t interested in writing romance into the manga, but when you study all the subtext that’s been going on the further Gon and Killua’s relationship progresses, I think it’s incorrect to say that Togashi has never hinted at the possibility of adoration in HxH.

I’d also like to mention, although I will analyze it further after list

Killua is a Gary-Stu assassin. Started training at 3, entered a tournament at 6. Come on. Putting kill in his label makes it even worse. Reminds me of anime like "Kil

Shaiapouf, one of the Royal Guards in Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter, is a fascinatingly complex villain, particularly regarding his queer-coded self. His loyalty and devotion to Meruem, the Chimera Ant King, are steadfast, bordering on obsession. This dedication goes beyond duty, venturing into deeply feeling and arguably romantic region. Shaiapouf’s feelings are sensual rather than overtly sexual, portraying an intense, almost divine adoration that mirrors the complexities of unrequited queer love often depicted in media.
Hunter x Hunter is populated by multifaceted characters that challenge the audience’s expectations of specific anime archetypes and notify into question the societal factors that shape stereotypes. From Hunters to organ thieves and organized criminals, everyone has a purpose and a point of view. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Chimera Ant arc, which adds a bevy of new characters to an already bloated cast. Togashi continually impresses with his ability to ma
