Gon is the main protagonist of the Hunter X Hunter series and easily one of its most compelling characters. Unlike many other anime heroes that remain static throughout their narrative, he is constantly changing, with many of the ways he has grown not necessarily being improvements.This renders him a dynamic and engaging individual, with realism that makes it easy for others to resonate with. To commemorate the brilliance behind his character, enthusiasts have created many unique and talented cosplays, demonstrating the fanbase's skill, passion, and adoration of the story's central character.
10 Shake A Leg
GeazakiCosplay presents Gon in his Greed Island outfit. It is evinced through his necklace, white shirt, and overall lighter aesthetics. They effectively use his physical pose in order to emphasize this fact, as the arc was one of Freecss' greatest opportunities to grow through his rigorous training.
Under the tutelage of Biscuit Krueger, he became one of the few hunters able to contend with the Bomber's terrible power, meeting and defeating the insanely explosive villain in battle. Despite how the pyromaniac had wronged him, he would spare his life and even insisted that his foe was healed before he was.
9 Getting To The Point
Latum_P1 depicts another fascinating illustration of Gon, borrowing after his earliest aesthetics. This is proven through his emerald vest trimmed in crimson, with spiky hair and a witting smile to match. The cosplay reflects every visual aspect of Gon's appearance, from physical stature to the specifications of its wearer's uniform.
The casual finger gesture is a welcome touch, adding personality to an already strong picture. As a result, it creates a complete and charming image that is strongly redolent of Hunter X Hunter's main protagonist.
8 Better Days
KellywoeshxDÂ presents a whimsical and charming image that magnifies the powerful bond between Gon and Killua. The two are fishing on (what is presumed to be) a riverbank, capturing the frequently lighthearted tone of the anime. It is particularly appropriate when considering the young hunter's reliance on his rod during the first arcs of the story.
Moreover, the smile the young Zoldyck wears is an excellent though subtle nod to how much Freecss has helped him, especially with the ways he prevented him from going down the wrong path. Were it not for Gon's influence, his friend may have become just as monstrously wicked as his older brother.
7 A Warm Smile
Mekichimo stuns us with a lively aesthetic as genuine to Gon's original design as the pages of the manga themselves. Every detail is accounted for, from the length of their pants to the laces of their boots. The backpack and belt serve as excellent props to complete the picture, further bringing it to life.
The authentic smile and posture of the cosplayer matches Gon's endearing and gullible demeanor, well resembling a young boy attempting to find his place in a huge world. A meticulous attention to specifics proves the wearer's passion for the series and the character they are paying homage to.
6 Preparing For The Hunt
Personarose1Â charms us with their Gon cosplay, using visual storytelling to further sell their outfit. The picture is a clear reference to Gon's trials in the Hunter Exam - notably during his mission to steal Hisoka's badge and make it to the final round.
This is evinced through the subtle pin attached to his lapel, one that is supposed to represent his status as a hunter. Should he have lost it during the test, he never would have been able to find his father in the subsequent arcs.
5 Huntress X Huntress
syzgy_cosplay depicts a stunning and original interpretation of Gon's character, one which realizes a genderbent (and adult) hunter. Though it shares many similarities with the original costume (such as the bright colors contrasted against its vibrant green base), there are a handful of artistic designs that make it distinct.
Instead of Gon's iconic shorts, this reimagination wears a skirt. Additionally, his spiked hair is exchanged for a set of pigtails, ones elegantly braided that enhance the overall appearance of the costume and contribute to its modified theme.
4 Daydreaming
Playitlikearainbows returns to the famous friendship between Gon and Killua, one which evinces their familiarity with each other through their poses alone. The Zoldyck assassin rests his head on his companion's shoulder, proving the monumental trust and almost uncharacteristic confidence that he places on him.
Given each of their costumes, it's likely that this image was intended to have occurred at the beginning of their adventures with one another. However, given how adamant Killua was on protecting Gon even at the earliest stages of their relationship, their coziness is nonetheless apt.
3 Just Like The Old Days
HaruXHaru expands upon the connection between Gon and Killua to include their two other friends. Leorio and Kurapika were each staples of the anime, especially with the prominent roles they played in the earlier seasons.
Their familial connection is perfectly captured in this piece, mastering every character's dispositions. Killua is curious though reserved with his new associates, Gon is his usual adventurous self, and Kurapika is at odds with Leorio. Though allegedly dysfunctional, fans of the series understand that their bond could not be stronger.
2 Risk It For A Biscuit
xSnow-Maidenx depicts a pleasant triple cosplay, one featuring Gon Freecss, Biscuit Krueger, and Kurapika (featured from left to right). Each of their outfits is stunningly made, taking after the earliest iterations of all characters present.
Gon's prop is a fantastic addition to his ensemble, entailing his user's knowledge of the anime he is referencing. Though a fishing pole might appear to be an unlikely weapon, anything could become deadly in the capable hands of an enhancer. His application of such an unconventional utility in battle is only a testament to his natural creativity and resourcefulness.
1 Taking A Knee
Dolphin-Chan2Â brings Gon's fishing pole to the center stage, using it as the main attraction in their charming piece. The bright bauble affixed to the end of the shaft is a token of its authenticity and further strengthens the resemblance between the prop and the canon counterpart frequently seen in the first arcs of the anime.
The cosplayer's youthful features contribute to their costume well. Between their natural similarities to Gon, their spiked hair wig, and the large fishing pole at their side to scale, Gon Freecss is reborn through their dedication and commitment to mastering every facet of his likeness.
