![]() People who work together, who share a goal, without that deeper emotional bond. With Killua’s constant self-doubt and insecurities about how Gon sees him, it’s clear that when Gon decided to call him his “nakama”, he only saw the negative interpretation of the word : they’re just teammates. Gon went from calling him his best friend in the entire world in Greed Island (”ore no saiko no tomodachi datte”) to saying they’re nakama before they part. ![]() To be always reassured that they’re friends, and even BEST FRIENDS, only to sort of “downgrade” to a mere “nakama”, completely removing the emotional layer that Killua so desperately needs after the events of CAA hurt him deeply.

He can barely contain his need to ask if Gon only sees him as a teammate, as a person he’s on a mission with, and not as his friend anymore. ![]() He barely stops himself from asking Gon what Killua means to him. ![]() We saw him struggle countless times with the idea that he had to “earn” his place next to Gon because he’s not worthy of staying by him.Īnd at one moment, when they’re about to confront Pitou, Killua almost lets his emotions overflow. I never fucking noticed until a few days ago, but Gon unknowingly confirmed Killua’s doubts about his place next to him.ĭuring chimera ant arc, Killua kept on doubting if he was worthy to stay by Gon’s side. ![]()
