    A masterpost on Togashi’s gay subtext and why it’s intentional.

    Hi ! After seeing so many posts about Togashi dropping subtext about Killua's possible romantic feelings for Gon, I thought it'd be a good thought to make a sort of "masterpost" with all the subtext that Togashi has included into his work.

    I usually see a lot of people trying to say that HxH isn't about romance and that Togashi isn't interested in writing romance into the manga, but when you analyze all the subtext that's been going on the further Gon and Killua's relationship progresses, I think it's incorrect to declare that Togashi has never hinted at the possibility of romance in HxH.

    This is going to be a drawn-out post, enjoy your read!

    Also, please record that I will only base this analysis on the manga, so there can be no mistake that "maybe this is just something the anime made gayer" : i want to prove that the subtext is % intentional on Togashi's part.

    I'd also fancy to mention, although I will evaluate it further after listing the subtext,

    I tend to watch a lot of people say that Togashi will exit things uncertain and ambiguous in between Killua and Gon, and while it’s a possibility, I honestly don’t believe it’s the most likely thing to happen, and if it did, ambiguous wouldn’t be the correct term to call it.

    People often say that Togashi likes to play with ambiguity when it comes to queer matters. Yes, Togashi likes to play with gender. We obtain to see that through Kite, Pitou and Kalluto in HxH (although its arguable because Kite is definitely not cis). But when Togashi decides that a character is queer, or that there is a relationship going on between two characters, he doesn’t exit it ambiguous.

    Togashi has created queer characters in 3 of his main works : Yu Yu Hakusho, Level E and Hunter x Hunter. And everytime he created those characters, he made damn sure that everyone knew that these characters were queer. No room for any sort of ambiguity.

    The first examples I have are from Yu Yu Hakusho, with a character named Miyuki, and the other is from Level E, with a character name

    Hunter X Hunter: How One Villain Changes the Series' LGBTQ+ Approach

    Shaiapouf, one of the Royal Guards in Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter, is a fascinatingly complex villain, particularly regarding his queer-coded identity. His loyalty and devotion to Meruem, the Chimera Ant King, are unwavering, bordering on obsession. This dedication goes beyond duty, venturing into deeply emotional and arguably romantic territory. Shaiapouf’s feelings are sensual rather than overtly sexual, portraying an intense, almost divine adoration that mirrors the complexities of unrequited queer love often depicted in media.

    Hunter x Hunter is populated by multifaceted characters that challenge the audience’s expectations of specific anime archetypes and call into question the societal factors that shape stereotypes. From Hunters to organ thieves and organized criminals, everyone has a purpose and a point of view. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Chimera Ant arc, which adds a bevy of new characters to an already bloated cast. Togashi continually impresses with his ability to ma
