Does Gon Die in Hunter x Hunter?

Last Modified Mar 15, 2024 07:38 GMT

No, Gon did not die in Hunter x Hunter, but after the fight with Neferpitou, he almost died because he made a contract to give up all his lifetime Nen power to defeat Neferpitou. After he defeated Neferptou, Killua took him to the hospital and then brought his sister Alluka (Nanika) who had the power to grant any wish. Killua asked her to revive Gon, which Alluka did. However, just after the election arc and Gon’s revival, the anime series stopped as the writer Yoshihiro Togashi felt ill, which made him stop continuing the series.

Gon is the main protagonist of the Hunter x Hunter anime series. At a very young age, he was separated from his father and decided to become the Hunter to find him. In the last episode of Hunter x Hunter, Gon met with his father and talked about the scenario that happened with him but after that, no new episodes were aired.

Hunter x Hunter is considered to be one of the best anime series worldwide, and all the otaku (anime fans) have loved it. However, many were also quite disappointed with how it just stopped midway.

When did Gon almost die, and why did he use all his Nen Power?

In the Hunter x Hunter episode 85, “Light x And x Darkness,” when Gon, Kite, and Killua came near the Chimera Ants’ Nest, Neferpitou sensed their Nen power and made her move to kill them. She attacked them and Kite saved Gon and Killua from her attack, but lost his arm and later was killed by her. That made Gon very angry, and he used his contract to use his all-nen ability to defeat Pitou, and after that, he would almost die.

Did Gon lose his Nen ability in Hunter x Hunter?

Until Chapter 390, it was clear that Gon could not use Nen again because when he made the contract to use all of his lifetime Nen ability to defeat NeferPitou, all his aura nodes that circulated the Nen ability closed up. Even after the revival, he cannot use the Nen again. However, in the 345 Manga chapter, when Gon talks to his father, Ging, over the mobile, telling him that he lost his nen ability, his father says that he has not lost his nen ability. It was just that he couldn't see it anymore.
