laudableshrimp said: Isnt it a bit a long shot to say he abandoned him for no good reason?First things first. I'm on episode 83. but. Just but. Abandoning his son for no good reason and making it incredibly difficult to find him. Even at episode 83, it should be quite apparent that there's a reasoning for all of this. |
Happy Halloween  |
| Yes, He is. |
 |
| Yep, he is. He even said so himself. In a few episodes this will be adapted. so that is when you can see it for yourself. |

| Well, Ging is an irresponsible father, that's for sure. And maybe because of that, he left Gon with Mito knowing she could take care of his son more than him. And he also has this crazy he-won't-die-because-he-is-my-son attitude. It seems Ging trusts his son so much that he believes Gon is capable enough to overcome any trials and hardships(and it looks like he's not even speculating, he's just so damn sure lol). So, you could say he's insane but no, he's not that horrible(in a sense). :3 |

| Na man, he needs father of the year award! Best father hands down, 10/10 would pick again. |

| You know his name not his story! |

He abandoned his son and doesnt care about his safety at all...he also avoids contact with Gon and and puts him in danger on purpose (Greed Island)...I hated him from the very beginning. Its weird how some people here are defending him...SMH Ging didn't abandon Gon: http://i20.mangapanda.com/hunter-x-hunter/1/hunter-x-hunter-1638641.jpg Gon could know about Greed Island only if he become a Hunter. He told to Mito to told him about the box/message only if Gon become a hunter. Ging is a hero, a model for Satotsu, Ging used his own fortune to preserve ruins and to allow everyone to see them: http://i32.mangapanda.com/hunter-x-hunter/35/hunter-x-hunter-1640871.jpg http://i32.mangapanda.com/hunter-x-hunter/35/hunter-x-hunter-1640876.jpg http://i11.mangapanda.com/hunter-x-hunter/38/hunter-x-hunter-324020.jpg http://i3.mangapanda.com/hunter-x-hunter/38/hunter-x-hunter-324021.jpg http://i11.mangapanda.com/hunter-x-hunter/38/hunter-x-hunter-324022.jpg |
| Yes. |
 |
| I'm still at episode 125, but so far he seems like a very irresponsible and immature father to me. He abandoned Gon, and then he set up some dangerous situations in order to find him. He says ''it won't be easy to find me'' and ''if I sense you around I will stay hidden'' (or smth like that) like it is some kind of a freaking game. Still, as they say above he may have his reasons so these are only my thoughts so far on the series. |

| He's a bad father, but a great hunter. Whether being a great hunter makes up for it is up to you. |

XD ಠ_ಠ You would want to abandon your child? lol no. but I wish i could abandon my parents' expectation of me :3 Ging does whatever he wants to and doesn't care what other people think of him, I find that to be admirable, in a way. |
| I kind of get what BakaKyon is saying. Being able to live your life on your own terms without giving a damn what other people think of you is pretty admirable. However, one could certainly argue that goes out the window when you have a child and that Ging should have been there for Gon. Yet, and it always comes back to this for me, Gon does not and has never hated his father. Why should I? Mito was probably way more capable of raising Gon anyway, considering what Ging does. However, not seeing Gon in the hospital when Leorio was requesting it was undoubtedly a dick move. But, there are some "spoiler" related reasons as to why I think Ging may have purposely antagonized him there. |

| @ Sapewloth Did you come up with that or did you find it on the internet somewhere? Either way, that's pretty hilarious. |

| I don't think any mainstream Shounen protagonist's father has actually lived up to his fatherly responsibility lol. Isshin, Minato, Dragon, Ging...etc. Ging just happens to be the worst of the lot due to not having a genuine enough reason. The first two have already reconciled with their sons since their respective manga are coming to a close, and Luffy just isn't actively chasing his father like Gon is, and has other priorities. I don't think any of them are horrible fathers though. |

| Not like I have anything against reading the manga (besides the artstyle that I'll have to get used to), so there's still a chance I might pick it up when I grow tired of waiting for HxH 2018 or, in the best case scenario, if Togashi gets his shit together and puts out his chapters more regurlarly. |

Lol, what if I told you he's gone on a two week hiatus? Though it's apparently for back pain. |

| Of course he is, with the way he's treated Hisoka. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| He is no doubt a horrible father as he was driven more by his passion for being a Hunter more than being with his son after Gon was born. |
| He is a bad father. The excuses are meaningless here. No good father would leave his child behind, no matter the circumstances. |
 |
| Even if he did not abandon his child he could at least try to keep the contact with him. But everything he does is only to make it more difficult for his son to find him. He is indeed a horrible father, no doubt about it. Some of you did write that most shounen fighting fathers are like that ? Goku is a great example of someone who really cares for his son(s). |

| Whenever I give DBZ a re-watch or watch Kai, I shall be paying special attention to Goku as a father. It's probably because it's been years, but I never knew that he had a reputation as a bad one. |

| Terrible father, only the father of Nina (FMA;B) is worst. |
  |
| In HxH though, Gyro's father is what I'd call outright horrible if anything. |
| Yes. |
| yes he is but hes nowhere near as bad as minato. |
