TOGASHI *probably* CREATED KILLUGON BASED ON A ROMANTIC COUPLE FROM THE ROMCOM HE WROTE !!

Did you know Togashi created a romantic comedy manga back in 1989? He always talked about liking shojo and romance but it’s not very known that he actually wrote one! (this is about killugon i promise keep reading)

title : Ten de Shōwaru Cupid

disclaimer : it’s nsfw and kinda gross (MINORSDON’TREADIT) but i’m not showing or talking about any of those nsfw things in this post so don’t worry!

It was never officially licensed so there’s no released English translation.

Very vaguely, the story is about Ryuji and Maria, the main romantic couple (pictured above) . It’s sorta a “ friends to lovers “ situation… in it’s own way.

Anyway, there’s one scene that started this whole discovery. Ryuji and Maria essentially go on a star gazing date. (yakwtfgo)

a few panels from the scene :

Star gazing. Shooting star. Deep conversation.

Doesn’t that sound familiar?

But wait, it also LOOKS familiar.

losing my mind bc ohmygoddd togashi ur so insane for this.

hell, even the set up and light/dark scheme is similar.

1989 : Togashi creates a star gazing date between the protagonist and deuteragonist of his shojo.

1998 : Togashi creates a star gazing date between the protagonist and deuteragonist of his shonen.

it took him ten years to make it gay

There’s more :

As we all know, Killua has electric powers. He has one move in particular called “ 落雷 “ (thunderbolt/lightning strike)

Coincidentally, Maria from the romcom ALSO has electric powers. Not just any electric power though, she has a move called “ 落雷 “ (thunderbolt/lightning strike)

Deuteragonists with electric powers and a thunderbolt move.

What’s next? Maria also being immune to poison just like Killua?

Exactly.

Miss Maria over here is the OG “ i’m immune to poison ” character. She drinks the poison from the snake to hide her demon tail (wild plot ik)

—

(( 4/27 update : i was just reminded of how Killua has that snake awaken thing with his aura hhhhhhomg

when they’re both associated with snakes ))

—

So, a deuteragonist who is strongly devoted to the protagonist, in love with the protagonist, immune to poison, has lightning powers, uses a move called "thunderbolt", and has been on a stargazing date with their protagonist.

It’s almost as if… Maria was Togashi’s blueprint for Killua.

This next portion isn’t as big but they’re just little situations that gave me deja vu :

Here we have the classic jealousy situation when a “romantic rival” enters the story.

- Stalking as they talk by a tree.

- Fuming with anger as something affectionate happens between them.

- Fleeing when the current situation became too much to handle. (in killua’s case he left to go fight a rabbit but still. yk he wasn’t about to stick around for what came next😭)

And there’s also the way they bump heads and bicker with each other like a married couple.

i’m sure there’s more similarities and hxh inspo in the story but i don’t feel like rereading and translating it all

In conclusion :

This means that from the very beginning, Togashi intentionally coded Gon and Killua from a romantic couple. KilluGon is the recreated/reimagined version of Ryuji and Maria (a pure and sfw and gay version)

goated behavior tbh

i’m just gonna leave this here

[mariposahxh]

i originally made this as a tiktok but didn’t feel like retyping it for tumblr so i’m just reposting the images

So far I’ve read only a few chapters, but with the help of other tumblr posts and a little research of my own, I found just enough material to make a distinct comparison with Killua.

I know there’s more similarities & connections in general with Patalliro! and HXH. I might possibly make a part 2 of this post after I finish the manga.

I know some people only ship killugon for fun but I’ve been genuinely convinced for a while now. The math IS adding up. It’s always adding up and makes perfect sense each time.

The question is no longer

“ Is Killua gay? “

but

“ How much gayer can Killua get? “

Edit : before this gets taken out of context :

togashi has NOT said anything or confirmed this! This is only an observation and strong assumption! A theory if you will. Nothing in this post is spreading false information so please chill out Twitter 😭

[mariposahxh]

i am VERY bothered rn

this is possibly one of the biggest pieces of gay subtext in hxh. Gon is Killua’s beloved. that was said. by Hisoka of all people.

actually, is that even subtext?? because it’s just THERE. Togashi picked up his pen and wrote that shortly after the comparison with a romantic couple. don’t even get me started on the CAA lovers suicide.

i’m bothered because this moment is NEVER talked about??

like what the fuck

i was reading the comments on a yt vid of this scene and literally no one was talking about this moment. they were all just “haha hisoka and illumi funny interaction”

DID THEY COMPLETELY MISS THE PART WHEN HISOKA CASUALLY CALLED GON AND KILLUA LOVERS??

kind of unrelated but this bothered me too :

i’ve seen posts saying that Togashi “accidentally” or “unintentionally” made them seem gay since there’s a lack of female characters.

DO THEY REALLY THINK TOGASHI IS THAT CLUELESS?? THE SAME MAN WHO THEY PRAISE FOR WRITING ALL THOSE COMPLEX PARALLELS AND SYMBOLISMS AND EASTER EGSS??

“Togashi is the goated manga mastermind 🐐🔥‼️”

then proceeds to doubt his intellect and abilities of creating manga.

THE MAN HAS BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY LONGER THAN MOST OF THESE DUDEBROS HAVE BEEN ALIVE FOR

Togashi knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.

i’m just so baffled how people still deny it. STILL. after piles and piles of proof and literal sentences in the manga.

[mariposahxh]

the way Killua lights up when talking about Gon <3

ik silva’s manipulating him here but from a distance it’s like how someone talks to their parent about their first crush 😭

AND THEN THIS ONE

underrated moment

he’s even got his own little signature expression saved for conversations where he can brag and fawn over Gon

i can’t get over how he smells like Gon now😭 at this point i think they’ve been glued to each other’s sides for almost a year (since the exams happen every year on 01/07)

anyways,

he just LOVES talking about Gon

it’s fr so sweet and adorable and hhhhh i can’t take it

hxh makes me giggle and kick my feet more than any shojo ever has

thank u togoatshi 🙏

[mariposahxh]

GON SAID YES TO KILLUA’S PROPOSAL !!!!

THE WHOLE DIAMOND AND SHINE BRIGHTLY STUFF??

look they even got married at the end of greed island

this is getting a little too gay for me wooo ur a goat togashi

[mariposahxh]

!!!🏳️‍🌈

LESBIAN KILLUGON REAL

!!!🏳️‍🌈

(Gon and Killua influenced a lesbian relationship in a yuri manga & anime, Bloom Into You)

As said in an interview (shown below) with the author and series editor of Bloom Into You (Yagate Kimi ni Naru), Gon and Killua’s “light and dark relationship” is “the definition” of the sapphic relationship between Yuu Koito and Touko Nanami :

full interview here

i finished the whole manga yesterday and i found sm similarities in their relationship and personalities with Gon and Killua, they really are lesbian killugon

(mild spoilers below!!)

“Stay by my side.”

“The most important person to me.”

“You’re the only one for me.”

“It has to be you.” (TOUKO SAID THIS DURING A VOLLEY BALL GAME BTW)

“She loves me without wanting anything in return.”

c’mon they’re sooo killugon THE WAY THEY ACT AND THEY ALSO LOWKEY LOOK LIKE THEM

WLW KILLUGON

STARGAZING AND “DAZZLING”

AND A TANABATA SCENE?? (Killua’s birthday)

wait no this is literally a scene from hxh

“Loser has to do whatever the winner says!”

RIGHT DIDN’T GON SAY THAT TO KILLUA IN YORKNEW? come to think of it, we never did get to see what happened…

anyway

yeah it made me really happy when @lauretra sent this to me 😭 thank u, i will treasure this forever <3

i really cannot get over this, like can you believe that KILLUGON inspired a YURI LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP.

beautiful tbh

[mariposahxh]

seven different romantic pairs handpicked by Togashi that parallel/inspire/relate or compare to Killugon

idk if Hisoka and Illuminati’s relationship is romantic in nature but they’re engaged so ‼️

and the whole Palm/Knov thing is one sided but oh well

I was going to write an analysis abt six of the pairs & how they relate but that’s a lot of work so no

anyway I think it’s funny how Killua is always compared to the feminine one 😭 even the 2011 anime director called him Gon’s “wife” and um that one scene from the movie… iykyk

ambiguously ambiguous killugon’s ambiguity

am i right 💯💯💯
