Get you a gum that can do both

it’s not that gon actively hates himself (at least for the majority of the series – it’s arguable that at several points in the chimera ant arc he is practically drowning in self loathing, and That Scene (”i should have died instead”) in the election arc springs to mind as well)

rather, he doesn’t value himself. he doesn’t see himself as worth much – sure, he’s okay, he’s mostly happy most of the time even! but he’s not much to get worked up about (in his mind) and so the idea that other people would risk themselves trying to help him is unpalatable and confusing to him.

i think the only time that this sort of less obvious self-worth issue doesn’t crop up and keep him from allowing someone to make a sacrifice for him was in the dodgeball match, and i think there’s more than one reason for that.

Me: It’s good for Gon and Killua to spend time apart from each other; neither of them have any real experience with friendships, much less the immediate and intense connection that they found with each other. You can already see that inexperience being materialized as over-dependence and near ostracization from others around them, because they found each other and immediately became each other’s entire world. But this dependence on each other ultimately hurt both of them in the end, Gon discovering that some conflicts cannot be mended by Killua’s presence and Killua discovering that he cannot save Gon from everything. These realizations in the midst of battle nearly cost both of them their lives and has also fundamentally changed their relationship. They are different people and no longer each other’s one and only but that is okay, it will be good for them to spend time apart and reunite after experiencing independence after discovering what it feels like to have a soul mate. This will only strengthen their relationship and make it much safer and healthier for both of them.
