In Hunter x Hunter 131, Anger x and x Light, Gon can't be saved from the forest and neither can Pitou.

My favorite comparison to make from reactors is how they view Gon's transformation. I felt that it took the basic shounen trope of power boosted angry characters becoming cool and triumphant and flipped it. You have the Assassin trying to convince the naive goofball to snap out of it. I didn't feel excited to see Gon power up. This series has built the viewer up to this moment of disappointment and heartbreak the moment other characters called him dangerous in the first few episodes. It may be my favorite payoff of a character arc, but in a sad way. Glad I could hear your take on this!

I love how Pitou falling from the sky had already been established as a vulnerability as well as how one of Ja Jankin’s weaknesses was the long charge up time required of Gon standing still. Both of those being exploited with a big kick to launch Pitou up and then we were smooth sailing.

that trope is always really good when done in a negative way. obviously there are other examples, but something like this was done in Bleach really well.
