To non-yaoi fans, what I have to say might sound like I’m corrupting the nature of their friendship by interpreting it as “ambiguously gay”. It’s one of the most powerful friendships I’ve ever seen in anime – and I’ll freely admit it: they’ve even moved me to tears. Their friendship is the heart of the anime, and however you interpret their relationship, I would say it’s definitely more important than all the other plot elements put together, except for Gon’s quest to find his father. It’s not quite the same thing as shipping exactly, but I do find Gon and Killua interesting to watch, so I guess the point is moot. I’m not kidding you. Sometimes, for whatever reason, I do interpret two characters as ambiguously gay. Honestly, I watch this show for the two little boys in it. Unfortunately, these same people tell me that they like the show because it is a “subversive” and “intelligent” shonen and frequently cite the Yorkshin arc as the best arc. Many people have told that they like Hunter x Hunter. This is great to hear because HxH is awesome. Have I ever mentioned how I’m a fujoshi on the inside?
