Ging Freecss is the father of Gon Freecss, the main character of Hunter x Hunter. His detailed background is rarely revealed, and to date, many theories have been read about him. Recently, he officially appeared in the main story, and some information has been made public, but he has remained a mystery for many years, and I think there are still many people who do not know much about his existence. In this article, I would like to explain about Ging Freecss, one of the most mysterious and key characters in Hunter x Hunter, Gon's father.
Who is Ging Freecss anyway?
Before we go into detail about Zin Freecs, we'd like to first summarize some basic information about Zin Freecs for those of you who are wondering, "Who are Zin Freecs?"
The purpose of Gon's adventure
Although Ging is Gon's father, he left Gon alone to pursue his dream of becoming a hunter. This made Gon interested in the profession of "hunter," which his father wanted to become even if it meant leaving his son behind, and he embarked on an adventure as a hunter, following in Ging's footsteps.
One of the best hunters
All we knew about Ging in the early stages was that he was one of the best hunters. He is highly regarded by the skilled hunters he meets wherever he goes, and it becomes clear how far apart Ging is from them.
Until now, Ging has been shrouded in mystery
Because he is the "ultimate key person" in Gon's adventure, most information about him was kept secret until he first appeared in the Chairman Election arc. With many speculations and theories flying around, Ging is one of the most actively discussed characters in HUNTER×HUNTER.
Few clues
Even before his first appearance in the Chairman Election, clues appeared here and there, such as a recorded voice in the "Greed Island Arc" where Gon and Killua adventure on Greed Island created by Ging.
Is finding it itself the final test?!
The setting of Ging's identifiability is thorough, and in the story of Kite, an excellent hunter who saved Gon in his childhood, it is explained that "reaching Ging itself is the final test for being recognized by him."
Gon's adventures and Ging
So how exactly is Ging involved in Gon's adventures? Let me give you a quick explanation.
Gon doesn't know his father
One of the main reasons why Gon has overcome so many obstacles in his adventures is his strong desire to somehow get to Gin on his own.
Greed Island
And above all, it can be said that Ging was greatly involved in helping his son Gon's adventure by encouraging his growth by having him experience the "Greed Island" that he created.
Ging and friends
Although he is a man of many mysteries, he is not completely without clues, and many of Ging's friends will appear in front of Gon and his friends in the story.
Kite
He is a disciple of Ging, and when he visited Whale Island as part of the "final test to find Ging", he happened to pass by and rescued a young Gon who was being attacked by a fox bear. He instantly realized that Gon was Ging's son and told Gon about his father. He is treated as a fairly "key person" in the story and can be said to have had a great influence on Gon.
Razor
He is one of the game masters of the game "Greed Island" that Ging and his friends created. He stands in front of Gon as the enemy who bets "cards" in the game.
Doon
He is one of the game masters of the game "Greed Island" that Gin and his friends created. After Greed Island was cleared, he waited for Gon and his friends at G.I. He has a shaggy beard and hair, and Gon and Gin had a great time talking about Gin.
Elena
She is one of the game masters of the game "Greed Island" that Jin and his friends created. She is responsible for sending players inside Greed Island off the island. She is Eta's twin sister.
Eta
She is one of the game masters of the game "Greed Island" that Gin and his friends created. She is responsible for keeping track of the people who enter Greed Island. She is Elena's twin sister.
She first appeared in the Chairman Election Arc! !
He hadn't appeared for a long time and was shrouded in a lot of mystery, but he finally appears in the "Chairman Election Arc" as one of the Hunter Association executives, "The Twelve Zodiacs."
High-level bargaining
In the Chairman Election arc, Ging plays an active role as one of the candidates competing for the position of next chairman to replace the previous chairman Netero, who lost his life in the battle with the Chimera Ants. Although he himself did not seem to have the slightest intention of winning, he engaged in high-level bargaining with one of the leading candidates, Pariston Hill, and showed readers how much smarter he is than Gon.
Unexpectedly hated
He finally made his first appearance in the main story, but he was slammed as soon as he announced his candidacy, showing how much he was hated. It was somewhat predictable when he left his son on a trip alone, but it seems he has some personality issues and is such an eccentric person that people around him call him an "unshakable idiot."
Getting punched by Leorio
Because he is disliked, Leorio gets angry at Ging for not wanting to meet him even when Gon is near death, and punches him. The impact was so strong that when Ging was punched, there was a standing ovation even though it was the chairman election venue.
Waiting for Gon at the World Tree! !
With the help of Killua and Alluka, Gon miraculously recovers from near death and meets Gin in the Chairman Election Arc. At that time, there was a commotion and the two were unable to have a proper discussion on the spot, but Gin called Gon to the top of the World Tree again and the two talked.
A touching reunion
Since Gon had been his goal for a long time, the scene where he talks with Gin at the top of the World Tree is very moving. In particular, Gin's words to Gon, "What I want has not changed from the past to the present, something that is not in front of me," can be said to be one of the most famous lines in HUNTER×HUNTER.
To the Dark Continent
Just as he declared to Gon at the top of the World Tree, he will embark on the Dark Continent in search of something that is not in front of him.
Here too, his negotiating skills shine
During the chairman election, Gin was able to deal with the leading candidates with his outstanding analytical skills, but in the Dark Continent arc, he also demonstrated his negotiating skills by winning the trust of the Beyond Squad, whom he had never met before.
Abilities that are still shrouded in mystery
Unlike before, we know a lot more about Jin, but there are still many things we don't know. Among them, the biggest mystery is probably Jin's abilities. There is still not enough information to identify his abilities, and it remains unclear what type of abilities Jin uses.
Can you copy enhancement abilities?
The only clue is that after being hit by Leorio, he was able to immediately reproduce his ability. This alone does not allow us to determine what kind of ability it is, but I'm sure it will be an important hint in identifying Jin's ability in the future.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we explained about Jin, one of the most mysterious characters in the work. There is still a lot we don't know about Jin, and we are looking forward to the settings that will be revealed in the future. I hope that Mr. Togashi will write a sequel soon.
