| Except that Ging is too perfect (from what we've seen.) It's much more boring to watch something with a flawless protagonist rather than a flawed protagonist. Gon's naïve and selfishness are the qualities that makes him a fine Shounen lead. |
| I'm a douche. Deal with it. |
| There would have been no growth. It wouldn't work as a shonen. Yes he's an awesome character but the reason he's awesome is because he's a veteran of the Hunter x Hunter universe and Gon is not. We have to see Gon build up from a wild kid looking for his dad to a seasoned hunter trying to stand shoulder to shoulder with his father one of the greatest Hunters in that world. I think that makes for a far more interesting story. One thing I will say is that when I started watching Hunter x Hunter I had expected Kurapika/Leorio to be more relevant in the story. They do appear in several arcs but there isn't that relationship that Gon has with Killua, who is my least favorite character of the four. j0x said: Mortsyn said: Except that Ging is too perfect (from what we've seen.) It's much more boring to watch something with a flawless protagonist rather than a flawed protagonist. like how people hate perfect main characters like Kirito from Sword Art Online I think people hate Kirito for other reasons.....I could not get pass 10 episodes of that show. Its one of the most dull and poorly written stories I have watched in ages. It appeals to people for all the wrong reasons, and Kirito in my opinion is an amalgamation of everything that is wrong with Shonen lead characters. Since the Bishonen craze started in the 90s with Gundam. |

| I think there will be a movie about him only |
| I vote just having Killua as the lead with everyone else being his bitches. |
| Ging is unlikable imo. He's so self centred but happy with himself. At least Gon is a apologist for his selfishness. |
| Ging kind of annoys me haha. He's just too damn perfect, every time his name comes up it's always about his triumphs and victories and all that shit. But we never actually get to see him do any of this. |

| I admit that it would be interesting to follow an intellectual and badass person beating up monsters and discovering ruins(like Keaton minus the monsters) but I wouldn't like Ging as the main. Like everyone else says, he's too perfect and that wouldn't be interesting. |

You just called him perfect? |
 |
| Then we'd have another Yusuke I wish we get to see more of him or have an arc focused on him or something |
 |
| Kirito was cute in a little boy way, but perfect? I don't understand. Also, I think the author means perfect in the sense that he didn't appear to have many character flaws, like selfishness, vanity, greed etc |

| I don't think it would have been an interesting story to watch Ging become a Hunter. He was the one applicant of his pool to pass. He's a legend in the Hunter world and one of the most powerful Nen users. ... doesn't it seem like his entire story is one easy climb to the top? Where's the fun in knowing Ging is going to effortlessly come out on top? Gon is /never/ the most powerful fighter. He wins all of his fights with wit, instinct, and luck. It's a good story because we see how Gon & Co. struggle to overcome what lies in front of them. The story is in the growth of the characters. And I like Gon, too. So... |
| >.> |
| The story of Hisoka looking for more "ripe fruits" would be more interesting imo. |
| Lmao. ripe fruits xD |
| Watching Gon's growth and his relation with Killua are way more interesting than seeing Ging as main character If I have to pick someone other than Gon as a main protagonist, I think Killua is my choice I don't know how some people here think that Kirito is perfect... Maybe perfect and overpowered as a player, but he has many weaknesses as a human |
| ^ accurate. |
Cedronia said: know how some people here think that Kirito is perfect... Maybe perfect and overpowered as a player, but he has many weaknesses as a human Being perfect as a player is all he needs anyway, and as for being a perfect human, all the ladies seem to think so. Anyway, Gon is the perfect main character for this series. |

| Ging is one of my favorite characters, because, I personally can relate with him :P so, I can understand his feelings. rofl. But nah, I like Gon better as a character. That kid's abysmal. Togashi's characterization for this kid is unforeseeable (IMO to me). Plus, he's what attracted me to watch HxH in the first place. I didn't give a damn about that show when I was a kid, and many of my friends used to love it (1999 version (?)) because of Killua and Kurapika. But I instantly liked Gon, and I was kind of in the same boat as Killua when I first encountered the kid. lmao. He kind of interested me. There was just some kind of mystery about him. He's supposed to be this open book but he's not. Anywho, I've never been attracted to a show before primarily because of its protagonist, until HxH...So that's saying a lot. |

Nobody can beat Gon as the main character tbh. |
