| PUPPY! |
(OK. This time I'm not drunk after a USA soccer game. Not even tipsy. I sobered up the second Portugal scored the equalizer. Then I was sad. Then I realized that the USA has a good chance to advance even with the draw. But, enough soccer talk. On to the episode.)
Apparently the home of famous assassins is both public knowledge and a tourist attraction. Because that his how hardcore this world is. Or it's that most people don't think the Zoldyck Family is even real. However, whether or not they are real is not really something anyone is thinking after a couple of guys decide to break into the side door of the main gate. The two of them are quickly eaten, and their bones thrown back outside the door. With the tourists gone, Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika attempt to get inside do meet Killua, with Gon insisting against all obstacles that he wants to meet his friend. They are let inside the main gate, and get to meet the guard dog who made a meal of the would-be intruders, named Mike. At this point, Gon realizes what real badasses this family is made of, just after meeting the family pet.
By now, Gon also has been shown to have a real stubborn streak. If it had done anything but served him well thus far, I would call it a flaw, but it hasn't. And I honestly hope that changes at some point in the future. It's all well and good for a character to have a strong will, but sometimes discretion is necessary to keep oneself alive. Also, it's getting a bit annoying to have a kid, albeit a powerful kid, getting his way all of the time. Gon naively thinks he can just walk up to the Zoldyck estate and see Killua. This despite knowing that Killua is both not on the best terms with his family and that Killua's family doesn't think highly of him. Maybe this isn't the time where Gon really gets hit with a reality check, but at sometime in the future, that check is going to hit. And it's going to sting like a bitch.
