Hey everyone, welcome to yet another addition of HXH translation meta with your old pal hunterxhell. This time, I’m taking a look at what I think is, hands-down, one of if not the most important scenes in HXH for understanding Killua and his feelings for Gon. In fact, I’m going to make the case that this scene proves that those feelings are romantic in nature. Unfortunately, the translation for this scene was absolutely butchered (it’s by far the worst translation in the series), so all of the meaning was lost, including the wonderful Killugon subtext.
alluka: i want to…. punch the orc in the face!
killua: okay okay i like this plan so basically you. run up and do some like cool back flip maybe?
alluka: double backflip!
killua: so you do a TRIPLE back flip and punch the orc in the face and his head goes SQUELCH and it’s AWESOME
leorio: hey! shouldn’t she roll for that? you made me roll to see if i could sit in a fucki-flippin chair without dying
killua: yeah yeah whatever see i’m rolling and [throws dice on table and doesn’t look] oh wow she did great! so great i think maybe she does a QUADRUPLE backflip
Alluka and Killua were always close, growing up, and they dreamed about leaving Kukuroo Mountain behind. But while Killua traveled the world, Alluka found herself more and more restricted.
Here’s the fic I wrote for the Hunter X Hunter Big Bang! It focuses on Alluka and Killua growing up in their fucked up family, pre-election arc. [Content warning for misgendering and abuse – to be more specific these things show up in ways already established by canon]
oh god killua and alluka fic im so excited..time 2 die
