I do love all the posts talking about how lovely and wonderful Leorio is, don’t get me wrong

But he’s technically not the weakest in the group.  The 2011 anime just made him look that way

In terms of combat ability, yeah he’s probably the weakest.  He hasn’t really used his Nen in a full on battle so who knows.

But the 2011 downplayed his natural strength a lot, which makes me sad.

In the manga (and in the 1999 anime technically), they talk a lot about his physical strength as much as his emotional strength.  

During the Zoldyck Arc, he actually opened the Testing Gate by himself before anyone else after training for two weeks

And later on it’s mentioned that when everyone opened the Testing Gate on their own, Leorio was strong enough to move two of the gates

Weakest in combat skills?  Probably.  Weakest character of the main four?  Certainly not.  Leorio is a beast

Killua’s eyes appreciation/development post

Killua’s gambling habit

killlua could’ve easily been a boring stoic edgelord who thinks friendship is stupid given his background as an assassin but he’s really one of the sweetest good boys ever i’m??????

has this been done yet With all the compassion I feel for Illumi, I sometimes wonder if it makes me a bad person that I don’t cry equally much for the other Zoldyck-children.

…it probably does.

The way the Zoldyck family treats Alluka/Nanika is oddly close to the way some families treats a child a mental illness or a neurodivergence.

Nanika is “something”, something they can’t reach, they can’t control, they can’t understand. It appears suddenly, just like a crisis. It obeys to certain rules, and reccurences. It’s out of control, but it’s not a chaotic force.

But it has a strong destructive potentiel. Nanika can destroy the whole world. For abusive/controling families, a mentally ill and/or neurodivergent child can destroy their world, destroy what they care the most for : their appearance, the illusion of a perfect family, according to social norms they chose to follow.

The roles are reversed. The parents watch over the child for their own safety, not the child’s one.

So they hide them, they limit their activities, their interractions with the outside world. Their needs are denied, but because the illusion must remain, the parents provide for needs the child doesn’t have. For example, by filling a room with dolls and plushies.

The child is deshumanized. They’re just a body who has to act a certain way, say certain words, to please the parent. They’re just the inconvenience, the mental illness, the neurodivergence, the thing.

Then there is this other relative. An uncle, a grandma, a sibling. Who doesn’t see the child as a thing, but see who the child would have been if they were neurotypical.

This is why the scene where Killua asks Nanika to go is so important. He wants to protect his sister from what makes her different - makes her a target for abuse. But Alluka is clear : she can’t do that. She doesn’t want to do that.

“Love as a whole, or no love me at all”, this is what she could have said.

You didn’t escape from abuse if you came from conditional hate to conditional love.

And Killua proves her both he loves them unconditionally. 

They escaped.

This is so close to the journey of so many mentally ill and/or neurodivergent kids in abusive/controlling families, it can’t be a coincidence.
