Whatever brings them together, it’s like it is a dream to be in a relationship and he’d tell everyone that he’s his favorite friend. If they break up in the end, it’s like an emotional time to accept the fact that they won’t remain together all the moments. It’s not the typical shonen type of story where you’re required to accept friendship between boys in its current form. Consider it as a way in which they build their relationship rather than a normal boyxboy friendship that doesn’t have a chance to marry even with all those clues. Greed Island is for me, the arc that sets the basis of Killua and Gon’s love affair. In this arc, we see the more Killua thinks about, how he’s fortunate to meet Gon and how he is extremely thankful. Gon’s character in this episode is also very loving and always trying to reassure Killua about his status in the same place as Gon. In the same way, the scene where Killua considers “You’ve got it backward, Gon, I’m the one that’s glad I met you.” isn’t regarded to be subtextual. I believe it’s a way to let the reader know more about the way Killua is feeling towards Gon.
