HisoGon

"The two of us are quite compatible. Our opposing personalities attract. We could become very intimate."

- Hisoka to Gon, during their fight (Heaven's Arena arc).

HisoGon is the slash ship between Hisoka Morow and Gon Freecss from the Hunter x Hunter fandom.

Canon
HisoGon is a ship with quite a lot of moments. Mostly because of Hisoka's crush on Gon, but not only.

Hisoka and Gon first met during the Hunter Exam. Morow was obviously intrigued by Freecss already from that moment, but Hunter x Hunter fandom thinks that he started to have a crush on Gon, only when they met for the 2nd time.

Hisoka is completely obsessed with Gon, what is emphasized almost every time Morow appears on screen. For example, when Illumi started to have thoughts about killing Freecss, Hisoka told him, "Gon is mine, do not forget that. Leave him be or suffer the consequences". He also really cares about Gon - when Illumi told him that Gon's in a really critical state, we could see how much it worried Hisoka. All the more, he tried to do something to keep him alive.

Gon might not be in love with Hisoka, but he definitely admires him and was many times impressed by his techniques in battles. Freecss also evidently likes Hisoka, despite his quirks. Knowing Gon, it's highly possible that he considers Hisoka a friend.

Hisoka and Gon seem to be very different, when you look at them at first, but the closer look you take the more it's visible that after all, they actually have a lot of similarities. For example they both love the danger in fights, they're both excited by that. They're both also not really the person who they pretend to be. Gon pretends and actually tries to be happy and optimistic, but we could see in the Chimera Ant arc, that there are times, when it's only a mask. Hisoka also seems to be happy, joyful most of the time, but there were short moments, when we could see that it's a facade too. And in Hisoka's official spin-off, it's even more visible. Those similarities are only a few examples and there's a lot more of them to see in the series.

A huge part of the fandom thinks about HisoGon as pedophilia, but it's hard to tell that it really is pedophilia, when Hisoka said himself, that he'll wait until Gon will become an adult and he actually waits for that.

Fanon
A huge part of the fandom dislikes this ship and prefers Killugon or/and HisoIllu. HisoGon isn't really a popular ship in the fandom, but at the same time isn't a rarepair either. There are a few people who also treat HisoGon more as a crack ship, than a real ship.

Lots of the fans of the ship like the idea of Gon meeting 14-year-old Hisoka and there are some people who draw fanarts with them in this AU. There are AUs with age swap too - where Hisoka is in Gon's age and Gon in Hisoka's. A few people also drew HisoGon with Gon in his "adult" form and with Gon as a real grown-up. A page where's the biggest amount of HisoGon fanarts is Pixiv.
