I see why you wanted these together.  Seeing Gon go through this was tough to absorb...mostly after the reaction.  He's truly not a typical protagonist.

God, that sad look Gon gives to Killua when he looks back always hurts, you could see he’s sorry without him even having to say anything 😭

Some animes don't have the plot armor your used too. I've seen plenty that seem to have no plot armor. So don't assume everything will be fine. This is not confirmation of anything, just a reminder plot armor varies.

One of my favorite things about hxh is how they avoid making all fights triumphant. Because how many times have we seen this play out? A cherished mentor figure is killed by an insanely powerful enemy. After much training, and even after that needing a last minute sudden power boost, our protag manages to defeat the hated enemy. And the music gets all bold and triumphant, the sun comes out of the clouds and shines directly on the face of the protag who has passed out from exhaustion but has a huge grin on his face. A friend finally shows up and seeing him there and thinks "That's our protag! He really did it!" and we pan into the sky and there's a voice over saying something like "And now you can rest in peace my mentor". This... this was <b>not</b> that. HxH recognizes that usually revenge based battles are not celebrations. They are battles that happen only <i>after</i> you've already lost. They did a similar thing with the Phantom Troop mourning Uvo. I love that that's the approach they take. They don't celebrate the fight like so many shounen anime would in this spot; they tell the story as the character they have written would feel. And in fact Pitou actually won this. Gon's goal was to get Kite back. Pitou's was to prevent Gon from being able to face the King. Only one got what they wanted out of this fight. Gon won the fight, but Pitou won the war. And the brilliance of HxH is that they realize it and tell it that way.
