Hunter X Hunter has been on a strike since his comeback after a two-year-long hiatus, even silencing fans with one of Togashi¡¯s best chapters to date. However, while during the long wait most people coped by rereading the manga or revisiting some of the series¡¯ greatest moments, one dedicated fan made an impressive tribute by bringing Gon¡¯s best form to life in an amusingly realistic fashion.

In a post shared by X user @yeskiri, Gon returns to his adult form once again, but not to take revenge on Nerfepitou, but in a work get-together for entertainment purposes. Even though the incredible cosplay doesn¡¯t focus on capturing Adult Gon¡¯s intimidating aura, it perfectly showcases his signature gravity-defying, impossibly long hair with an amusing mechanism that has captivated fans on the social platform.

Adult Gon Never Looked Better Than in This Wildest Cosplay Take

Gon’s Iconic Hair Got its Live-Action Version Thanks to an Ingenious Prop

In the video posted by @yeskiri, the Adult Gon cosplayer appears at an end-of-the-year party, making the posture of the hunter concentrating his aura before launching a Janjanken, but the most impressive part of the look is that the iconic long hair is stretched out to reach the establishment ceiling thanks to a wire connected to a small air pump prop.

Gon is one of the most beloved shonen protagonists of all time, starting Hunter x Hunter as a starry-eyed boy before growing into a mature young man.

This clever cosplay was made by the TikTok user @zeusdance, who has shared many videos of the look in different settings on his social media, from doing Gon¡¯s iconic pose, raising his left hand, to dancing to songs by Eminem and Aimyon, and it serves as a reminder of Gon¡¯s cultural influence even more than a decade after its appearance in Hunter x Hunter episode 131 "Anger ¡Á and ¡Á Light".

The Cosplay is a Hilarious Homage to Gon’s Rage Moment

Adult Gon Remains as One of the Most Shocking Power-Ups in Anime

This talented cosplayer features a unique take on making Adult Gon as realistic as possible because of his commitment to presenting both a similar physique, which is not easy to achieve, and an outfit that seems taken from anime itself, showing that the love for the franchise is still latent in fans. Also, it highlights how fans now take Gon¡¯s atmosphere-reaching hair and design in a funny manner, instead of the most bone-chilling and eerie Hunter x Hunter moment it represented when the hunter sacrificed his future to use his potential in one of the best rage scenes in anime history.

Additionally, although Gon isn¡¯t the main focus of the story for now, as he has been absent for a while after losing his nen, the cosplay made by @zeusdance proves his popularity is still high, remaining as one of the most beloved characters in Hunter x Hunter, and how his iconic design has become a top cosplay choice.
