Yeah, very interesting. I had these same thoughts as well, especially the good byes after the Chimera arc, they were so awkward. Out of all the fights, ants, powers, deaths, the most powerful scene (well there is one exception, but I won't give spoilers) is when Gon tells Killua to go away. Was it to protect Killua from Gon himself? Or was he being selfish? Was Gon so scared of his own powers to come, he didn't want to hurt Killua in the process? One thing we all have to remember is Gon is just a kid. In a lot of mangas, the heroes or characters deal with incredibly adult situations and then you remember they're only 14 or 15. Gon being selfish, brutish, and not considering others feelings is very real thing for a pre-adolesent boy. That's why this manga stands out. Now that he's with Ging though, I can see Ging smacking him in the head when he gets out of line. :P
