ABOUT TIME!!!

He's 4 arcs late. I totally agree with you.Like I said in my old blog, it won't hit the new fans as hard as it did the manga and 1999 fans. That is probably the one MAJOR gripe about the reboot. Even if they didn't introduce him in the first episode they could have showed the flashback during Gon's visit to Whale Island. People will probably argue that it doesn't matter and that they could just show it when Killua ask who Kite is. (IMO) that's bad story telling on MAD House's part.

When a character vital to the protagonist's growth dies, you want to make it as impactful as you possibly can ,so that the view can feel some sort of sympathy for him/her.People are not going to feel Gon's strife when he dies if he just shows up then dies 4 or 5 episodes later. If  he showed when he was suppose to people would wanna kill Pitou too and they'd really FEEL the raw emotion that Gon displays during the Ant arc.

On a side note:(If Megumi Han can pull off Gon's role in that arc like I imagined it when I read the manga, then she could POSSIBLY be my favorite seiyuu of all time XD. )

I'm mean Kite IS the reason why Gon wanted to HUNT for his dream and find Ging in the first place and if  this was established at the beginning, new fans would understand where we are coming from.

P.S

I wish Kite had a different color scheme. He seems REALLY bland to me. The only thing that pops out is his hat. I personally prefer Kite's 1999 color scheme.(I'm not going to debate which series is better,so DON'T bring up that topic.)
