i love killua’s speech patterns so much because … it doesnt come across in the english subs very well but… oh my god he speaks in such a rough/“vulgar” way in japanese especially when he’s pissed. like you’d expect him to speak in a posh or slightly feminine way because of his upbringing or personality bbut no. he just yells and slurs his tough-guy words in his enraged little boy voice and it’s 俺/ore this and ore that. he does the thing tough japanese guys do where they slur their ai sounds into ee sounds so for example instead of じゃない/jya nai which is the proper fucking japanese i hate you killua he’ll say じゃねえ/jya nee and it slays my whole ass!!
even his speech style during the really famous internal monologue “gon, you are light” is… it’s more understated because he’s not angry he’s just reverent (he’s more “vulgar” when he’s angry) but he’s saying super poetic things in a sort of rough plain way and it slays me with the contrast like he’s NNNOT even trying to be poetic when he thinks that shit it’s LITERALLY what’s coming to mind.
i llove killua
killugon at the beach! killua doesn’t end up being lucky here thanks to the sun:
Everyone still interprets the “you are light” scene….WRONG.
it is not “you are light” and you are my sun and my stars and my moon – it is, “Gon, you are too optimistic and sometimes I can’t see what I should…” aka: logic
In that scene, Killua is admitting to knowing that Gon is an optimistic fool…but negates his own rational side and stays positive with Gon. WHICH EITHER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT – WOULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. If Killua said, “no gon, give up on kite and your optimism of him being alive” … that clearly wouldn’t have ended well. And the other side of it was…EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. Gon’s optimism burning and crashing at his feat.
Gon had a lot of growing and learning to do…it’s unfortunate that it came at such a shitty cost, but it happened. And Killua, his best friend, was there every step of the way. Just as Gon had saved Killua in the beginning, Killua had saved Gon in the end.
character….DEVELOPMENT. Friendship….DEVELOPMENT.
remember when 2011 had to censor a heart and there was apparently no better option so they made it look like… That
[ ] he doesnt wanna assasinate anymore
[ ] he wants to have friends
[X] He would gamble the fucking whole mountain away
“Let’s go to your house next!”
an elaborate/ re-imagined “redraw” of a scene from the 1999 anime
get ripped
has this been done yet With all the compassion I feel for Illumi, I sometimes wonder if it makes me a bad person that I don’t cry equally much for the other Zoldyck-children.
…it probably does.
