Does Gon Die in Hunter x Hunter?


Does Gon Die in Hunter x Hunter?

We have to admit, there are a couple of times when we thought that Gon was going to die in Hunter x Hunter. One instance was when encountered an animal attack but was saved by Kite. Another was during the dodgeball game against Razor.

Gon is the type of character who would never accept defeat, hence he is often put in situations wherein his life could be in danger. The good thing is that there is always a way to save him, like a newfound power or friends to help.

These instances, no matter how nerve-wracking they might be, helped Gon develop his abilities. His growth made him accomplish his goal, which was to find his father.

But now that his journey has somewhat ended, does it mean that Gon will most likely die soon?

Up until where the Hunter x Hunter manga was updated, Gon is still alive and well. He went back to Whale Island for him to fully recover after everything that he and his body had been through.

Gon, however, has lost his ability to use his aura, turning him into a normal boy again.

He informs his aunt and great-grandmother after he came back to the island, and Mito requires him to go back to studying. He feels bad about this but Mito subtly reminds him that he can be exempted from all of this as he is a licensed Hunter.

The story then focuses on the other characters. It is still uncertain what will happen to Gon or if he will be brought back to the story.

It somewhat feels that his part of the story has ended, considering that he was able to find his long-lost dad.

Hunter x Hunter isn’t the type of story to just focus on one protagonist and has focused on other characters as well, such as Kurapika and Killua.

For now, Gon fans can sit back and relax with the guarantee that their favorite character has made it through everything and is still alive.
