i don’t even feel like making a long meta on this subject bc it’s one of those mischaracterizations i think barely deserves the time of day but i am just endlessly frustrated with the idea that gon does not care about killua’s well being or would sacrifice killua for his own gain. if anything, it seems to be the other way around (i elaborate on how gon’s rejection of killua in CAA is partially a method of protecting him from gon’s self destruction here).

we see in greed island that the idea of killua dying makes gon so angry he practically enters a dissociative state and takes the pressure of winning all into his own hands.

he says “i have to crush him completely,” as if he is killua’s sole avenger and is no longer participating in a team sport. it becomes just about gon and killua and gon’s anger over killua’s safety. he says “it has to be killua,” because this moment has now become about this affection over all else (similarly to how much of hxh narratively just shifts focus to killugon over other major characters because killua is gon’s priority). he trusts killua to hold the ball despite his hands being in pain because if killua is saying he can do it, gon believes him. because if killua needed gon to harm himself to achieve their victory, gon absolutely would, and has.

these are not the markings of someone who would sacrifice their best friend—quite to the contrary it speaks to an unmatched mutual understanding. is it unhealthy? yes. should either of them be expected to harm themselves for the other? no. but these are abused preteen boys in the middle of developing a brutal codependency so let’s cut them some slack.
