User blog comment:Martialmaniac/Urgent adition and correction to Gon's page - Aiko and Paper/@comment-26871067-20170208022731/@comment-26871067-20170215033101

The "sho" of aiko desho is the point where the players show (it's actually a coincidence that they're homophones) their new hand. It's the "shoot" of "rock, paper, scissors, shoot", but "desho" is a single word. So it's possible that because Gon didn't actually fire off his second attack, he left off the "sho".

I honestly am not sure if "aiko de" is grammatically correct, because I'm not certain what exactly "aiko" is supposed to mean on its own? I've never seen it written in kanji and only know it from the context of janken. I definitely need to just rewatch/reread the scene and see if I can figure it out.

(By the way, I checked the Japanese wikipedia page for Gon and yeah, it only says "aiko de" so presumably that's what the text says.)
