*edp nodding in the distance to the last part*

Hisoka to Gon be like: "You know what else has the properties of rubber and gum?"💀

The innocence of Gon and the fact he's growing is what he wants, that and he doesn't want Illumi's smoke yet. He still wants them both beaten down

I think people are overanalyzing this. In the Hunter exam, Gon is the only contestant who caught Hisoka off guard, & he did it not once, but twice. Hence why Hisoka wants to see how far Gon can go.

He wants to break their will before he kills them Killua ain’t have much “hope” at the start ,that’s why he’s more interested in Gon than Killua initially

I personally think it's because Killua's a Zoldyck so Hisoka can't fight him as it's too risky for him right now, considering that would mean fighting the whole Zoldyck family. Besides, before Killua took out the needle there is no way Killua would have fought Hisoka, which Hisoka finds boring. Killua has been through more training since he was a child than Gon to be the Zoldyck family's heir; he has more battle IQ, more common sense & rationality, more knowledge, etc. but Gon's still *almost* just as powerful as Killua without any prior training. Gon lived in a small, isolated place full of nature; Whale Island. He learned & gained a lot of things such as his superhuman sense of smell, speed, taste, & eyesight. Gon being a quick learner, even mastering the art of hunting in a short amount of time in the Hunter exam, concealing his presence like a predator successfully to take Hisoka's badge, all of these things I mentioned.. he learned on his own. His willpower is strong, & he will do anything to get what he wants; examples would be his fight with Hanzo, dodgeball game, or his fight with Genthru where he sacrifices his own hands out of pride. Gon's very raw potential & strength, his simple mindset & never ending determination that thinks of solutions quickly in a situation of need, attracts Hisoka; & while Killua would be great to fight, Hisoka having already considered it while he was with Illumi, choosing to target Gon would be a better option for Hisoka & more enjoyable for him.

I feel like it's cause Gon has more room to grow and get better, and Hisoka wants to see that happen, while Killua is a prodigy and good st everything

He wants to see when gon is gonna get ripe

*Whenever hisoka is near gon & killua* Me: I am suddenly really concerned about the kids

He just like em young

I am rewatching and I just finished the hunter exam arc and I was thinking about that too. When Netero asked Hisoka which one interests him the most he chose number 99 which happens to be Killua, I found that quite weird since he has shown a lot of interest towards pretty much every one out of our boys except for Killua and then suddenly he is interested in Killua ? But now that I think about it it makes sense, Killua is definitely much stronger than Gon pretty much up until the end (except for when Gon skips years lol) but one of Killua's most obvious traits is his cautiousness, his assassin training planted this in his brain "don't fight anyone stronger than you" "don't fight when victory isn't guaranteed" "you should always find a way to escape when facing people stronger than you", everyone who took the exam that year was weaker than Killua except for Hisoka, Illumi and Hanzo, he showed no fear whatsoever since he was definitely going to win no matter what. We didn't see a direct encounter between Killua and Hisoka in the hunter exam but Killua warned Gon a few times telling him to stay away from Hisoka or that he is a big threat and so on, if Killua had to face him he would have ran away immediately to save himself since he knows that he has no chance against him. Gon on the other hand is reckless, simple-minded and not much of an overthinker, he doesn't fear fighting people stronger than him and his ego doesn't allow him to give up or run away, he chose to help Leorio when Hisoka attacked him, he chose to get Hisoka's ID batch instead of getting 3 others, he didn't fear facing Hisoka who is definitely much stronger than him. That's probably what interests Hisoka the most since Gon is very similar to him, he loves fighting strong people even if his life is on the line, but of course Gon is a hundred times less creeoy than Hisoka lol. One other reason might be that Killua is Illumi's brother and he doesn't have time to fight Illumi after he kills Killua because he is still chasing after Chrollo.

I know in the anime he says it’s cause their personalities are opposite and opposites attract. Hisoka fickle and deceitful while gon is sincer and earnest. He says something like that during their fight in heavens arena

i think hisoka likes gon more because he sees some of his own traits in gon

"Why's Hisoka more interested in Gon than Killua?" Cuz that's his type. ... Also cuz Illumi's gonna beat his azz-

Nah it’s the booty shorts, that’s why he kept wearing them

I think the reason is because killua is basically mini-Illumi.Meanwhile Gon seemed like a wild card to him.

Theres also the Illumi factor with Killua. Hisoka wants to fight strong people and wants to fight Gon at his full potential but at the same time he doesn't seem to actively want to fight Illumi. They have something of an alliance and what can very loosely be described as loyalty between them. Gon is also an unpolished diamond whereas Killua has already started to be polished by the point Hisoka meets them

I don’t necessarily think hisoka is more interested in gon over killua I just think hisoka just didn’t want any smoke with illumi at the moment; however he was contemplating if he wanted to kill nanika to earn killua’s wrath or kill killua to make an enemy out of illumi.

Killua gets the fandom's fangirls gon gets hisoka

because hisoka's not dumb enough to try and kill his best friend/husband's little bro

Hisoka likes thrill. He knows Killua wont waste his time on him. 😅😂 Gon also likes thrill. Challenge.

I think it might be because Hisoka knows of the mental handicap that killua had because of his brother, illumi. This might have cause a large break in Killuas improvement. On the other hand, Gon had no such manipulation and instead had study improvement. As we all know, Illumi and Hisoka already know each other, so it would make sense if Hisoka knew of Killua's controlled mind.

I think it’s because bungee gum has both the properties of rubber and gum

Gon is unhinged and takes risk to win, while killua knows his limits and runs when facing a greater enemy. Killua runs from phinks, youpi. Gon faces hisoka when he cannot escape, pitou and does a risk of sacrifice

In the show it’s been high lighted how Gon and Killua are both 1 and a million(wing mentions that) and I’m pretty sure plenty of more people notice the same potential. Hisoka does consider kill as a “toy” too as shown in image containing characters hisoka what’s to play with but prefers Gon most cause he’s mentioned he’d love to also break his spirit.(like Batman and joker kind of vibe)

The reason is two words main character

gon is like a raw gem with unlimited potential. killua is already on killer path

Killua won’t fight unless provoked or it’s the only option, Gon would fight just to test his limits and has shown the determination to just keep fighting even when he’s beat to near death, Hisoka probably sees the difference between them but it’s small enough that the hunger to win from Gon and the willingness to just fight for what he thinks is right is enough to equal the gap between them and even surpass it as it would be more fun.

I personally think it’s because he recognizes gon’s darkness and sees that he’s somewhat of a psychopath(we all watched that video)

another MAJOR reason is Illumi, even if he was interested in Killua going after him would also sever his relationship with Illumi and make him Illumi’s sole target, simply not worth it

Gon doesn't have a big brother that threatened to murk him on site.😂

Don't let this distract you from the fact bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum

"GoOoOoOoÖoØōÔóÕœN~~~ 🤡🥴😩"

Hes more interested in fighting killlua during the hunter exam. But gon and hisoka fate seems to be always entangle.

OH GONNNN😩

*gOoOOnN GoOOOoN*

Basically the whole video of his explanation in a sentence: Killua is better than Gon and Hisoka is a pervert

hisoka like gon more because he likes living

I think also because they have similar pasts. Gon basically grew up without parents and as a child was dating grown women 🥴 catching giant fish and whatnot. Whereas Killua was raised and trained to be who he is today. Gon is just feral enough for Hisoka to maybe feel a strong connection to him for that. When we look at the one shot of young Hisoka, he was also incredibly gifted at a young age and a wandering free spirit. Of similar stock

Remember Gon was also the one that was able to actually touch him even though it was with this fishing pole he was still able to make a mark on him while the other two they couldn't even touch him he was too fast in killua wasn't even there with him away way but you had gotten separated from the two different groups and he ended up fighting his hisoka while killua was following the rest of the survivors

Also i like to point out that hisoka is a world class nen user he rated some of netero beast senate memeber like at 86 and people tend to forget killua is talented as hell so it tends to overshadow the fact that gon has absurd nen potential. And you stsrt to see this in the chimera ant arch hisoka probably wants to fight adult gon tbh. Hisoka can tell gons nen and aura level is off the charts. Even as a kid in the chimera ant arch he easily wiped the floor with pitou with unlocked potential. And before that he was scaring other top tier hunters and dealing with stuff those same people admited they cant handle. Hisoka can tell gon was one day supposed to naturally be what he was when fighting pitou and hisoka wants to fight that beast.

Gon is a boy in a man's world and hisoka is a man who loves to play with little boys!

Maybe because Ilumni is protective of Killua, It shows when Hisola asked him if he could do him(Killua). he probably told Hisoka to back off

I feel the things that sets killua and gon apart from hisokas view is first the zoldyk family. Same thing for hisoka and the spiders, picking a fight with them is a good way to be killed and he isn't about that....yet. second, gon is easily a more unpolished gem. Killua has been trained since a very young age, meaning that he is already one of the most skilled and strongest Mc of the series. Gon did most of it by himself and was way behind killua at the beginning in some aspects. So gon can be polished further and has more potential physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

I thought it was his personality, rationality and mindset that he was looking at when he saw Gon, that’s how I thought he started taking interest in him. Maybe even his physical skills, that probably makes Hisoka take even more interest in him.

Killua plays it safe and Gon is crazy in battles will fight to death like himself and Gon full potential is that relative of the ants king as he is enhancer

I thought hisoka just didn't want to mess with his best friends kid brother

Because he probabbly knew how strong gon wouldve gotten with enough time

I think hisoka found my address…I gotta run…😅

Hisoka likes gon because even though killua outshines him - fighting gon is more interesting. This can be seen in the arena where gon doesnt care how much weaker he is, he fights regardless and strives really hard to compensate through battle iq with no fear. Hisoka just really really enjoys fighting

Some of the main reasons could be Killua is from the Zoldyck family, so Hisoka's gonna meet his end if he messes with them. Kil is a prodigy so there isn't much potential ig...? And lastly since Kil is manipulated by Illumi, till the Chimera Arc, he didn't really have the same 'guts' as Gon. (like uk how its drilled into him he should just run away if he's facing a much more powerful opponent) Also could be becoz Gon is very innocent? idk.

deadass i think it’s cuz hisoka likes the fact that gon is a psychopath

Killua is too careful, Gon’s crazy and passionate at the same time.

"And we all know what that is" He likes little kid -someone that watches every anime possible except hxh

Like is it canon that Hisoka is you know… I thought he was just turned on by like pain and strong fighters.

Killua has skills, experience and power. Gon has the POTENTIAL.

He probably knows it suspects about the needle in Killua's head that makes him run when he can't win. Gon doesn't know when to quit, especially when he gets emotional.

Hisoka wants someone strong that wants to fight with him back, and is determined to win He doesn't want Killua, because Killua doesn't get into fights he will lose He wants a mutual fight, so he isn't just going to randomly walk up to a strong guy and attack them This is why his targets so far have been gon, kastro, and chrollo. And if he asks for a fight Killua will most likely just refuse.

Ahem and Hisoka asking Illumi if he could do Killua, with the very suggestive japanese hand gesture for "sekkusu". Well at least Illumi is protecting Killua... bad news is, Killua's having Hisoka as a brother-in-law...

Hisoka is a pediatrician

Bro really just said "certified lover boy certified PDF file"

Gon is more savage and unhinged he makes decisions based on his own instincts and doesn’t care about the consequences Killua is cautious and intelligent he knows his limits and knows when to fight and when to take the L and get out with his life. It be more interesting for Hisoka because once Killua realizes he can’t beat Hisoka Killua is going to dip.

I think, the fact that Gon is an Enhancer (simple-minded) makes him and Hisoka compatible. Killua is a capable fighter, but not compatible with Hisoka’s personality bc both of them are fickle. Chrollo is also a contrast to Hisoka’s personality, so I guess that shares a similar sentiment with Gon.

He's whimsical. There is no why. A random wild kid has much more appeal than a prodigious child from an established family. For a Transmuter to be interested in another Transmuter is already low probability. This is an easy question; click bait.

OOOOoOooooOhHhHhH gOoOoOon -hisoka

Hisoka is interested in breaking toys, Killua is already broken

The main reason is Hisoka knows that Gon is the same type of person as him

The answer is Illumi. On multiple occasions Illumi has warned Hisoka about hunting Killua, and in other cases Hisoka has joked about targeting Killua in order to provoke Illumi.

we all know what he likes the most... *Bungee Gum posseses the properties of both rubber and gum*-

Hisoka be like Say Drake I hear you like em young

Both their potentials are the same. Killua is only stronger due to training much sooner in his life.

Easy answer Illumi

The concerned face at the end...

Also if you fight and kill killua, his psycho older brother, dad, mom, grandpa, and a super lifeform from another world you didn't know existed all come to hunt you down and kill you with the most efficiency possible. If you kill Gon his own dad probably won't even notice.

I've never seen HxH what's the problem with Hisoka Edit: I've heard enough.💀

Killua always runs when shit gets bad so his potential is limited. Gon knew how crazy Hisoka was but still hunted him 🤣 (and got stronger in order to do so).

Not only is he cute but he is stubborn and has a lot of stamina 🤣🤣🤣

Illumi got hisoka on watch. Bro isn't even gonna let him touch killua without a reason he believes is acceptable

Okay, he has more admirable qualities but... you didn't say what those are? Let me fill in the blanks. When they met, Killua was brainwashed to run from any fight he didn't know for a fact he could win. He isn't a fighter, he's a killer. Gon was excited at the prospect of a battle with his life on the line, even knowing he would lose. Hisoka saw himself in Gon.

okay but this fact may shock you. did you know that bungee gum was not only named after hisokas favorite chewing gum brand from when he was a kid 😯 BUT ALSO. bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum..

I mean Killua did eye Gon"s Bakery so I don't blame him. Kids got Potential.💀

Hisoka wants gon more then killua because he has a childs innocence

Bc gon is so raw unlike killua he cruised through his early years

Bc gon has more potential tho both have insane talent that's why Hisoka would want to fight killua too

I Think it’s the fact that killua is so powerful already, and he probably doesn’t have that much more to gain. As well as killua doesn’t have that strong a will to begin with, as hisoka enjoys breaking the will of people. While gon is the complete opposite; he starts out strong, but very weak in comparison to almost everyone else. He grows a lot very fast, and have so much more potential compared to who we’ve met so far. He has a grounded and rooted will and spirit, to do what he deems right and just. Gon will be an excellent person to fight with later down the line, and his will, will be so much sweeter to break. And he’s a kid.

Hisoka will never pass up a little boy in booty shorts

Its probably cause hisoka could predict adult gon power cause adult gon is literally a representation of the full possibility of his potential.

It’s because gon is to innocent and he’s determined also killua and hisoka are transmuters while gon is enhancer and they attract and hisoka still wants killua

BuNgEe GuM pOsEsSeS tHe PrOpErTiEs Of BoTh RuBbEr AnD gUm 👁️💧👄⭐️👁️

If Hisoka is interested in killua irumi would be very mad

Gon definitely has the better potential

once gon trains enough, i doubt killua could pierce his nen shield, would get him with electricity tho. If you think about it gon also has superior genetics

Hisoka never miss a P diddy party

before I say smth I’d like to mention I haven’t watched hxh in over 2 years so if I’m wrong plz tell me:) I always thought he liked them both the same?? the only times I remember him specifically going for gon was during the heavens arena fight, and he knew something like that would eventually happen bc of the badge thing during the exam. hisoka interacted with gon during the hunter exam after gon attacked him that once and followed him the next. plus if I’m remembering right hisoka said the one who caught his eye the most was killua, and after heavens arena arc all of his remarks were directed at both of them?? anyways like I said I haven’t watched the show in years so I’m not rly sure

Cause Killua will run from the fight and adapt. Gons gonna keep smashing his face at him till he figures it out.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnn oh goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnn...

Not to mention the one time Hisoka was gonna go after Killua, Crollo basically said "Touch him, and I rend your innards"

He using that bungee gum for something else💀

He mentions he wants to kill and rape them both, he mentions it around killuas brother who essentially made it clear that if hisoka went near killua he would just be killed, no messing around

Gon had been stated to have more potential than Killua however they both have immense potential. But the biggest factor is Gon’s personality isn’t cautious compared to Killua’s who runs away if there is any relatively close chance to dying, this probably is because of his family being Assassins which they train to kill and only kill while being efficient and not fighting for the sake of enjoyment.
