HxH Random Headcanon Time

I think the reason Hanzo is so talkative and goes on and on is because of how he was raised. His whole life he went through insane training to get to where he is today. I doubt he was allowed to be so friendly and chatty with his peers. That and he probably never felt comfortable/safe around them, again because of the training.

So, when he left to get his hunter's license and there's finally all these new people, he finally feels like he can be social. He goes on and on 1 because he's an extroverted guy, and 2 because he never got to be chatty. So, he doesn't know when his talking gets to be too much.

Can we just acknowledge how tall Hanzo is? He's a bit taller than Hisoka, so about 6'3 at least. But something I've noticed since I've been nonstop rewatching the episodes he's in is how he talks to people shorter than him.

He literally crouches down to eye level with the person, and we see him doing this at least 3 times.

He's taller than these guys, and we can see 1, that he's kind of hunched over, but he's also got his knees bent, all so he can make eye contact with them.

Here he is doing it again, knees bent and hunched over, but he's actually crouched down a little too far this time, he isn't eye level, but he can make eye contact with the person.

And here he is doing the same with Tonpa.

I don't think he's doing it to be a dick. I think he's doing it because eye contact is very important to him, and maybe not to intimidate people. Because he is very friendly and social, he only gets intimidating when Tonpa offers him the can of juice. I think if he hadn't done that, Hanzo would have continued trying not to be intimidating.

This is so incredible!

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of dissociating, torture (I'm talking the freaky renaissance torture stuff) abuse, and trauma

I wanted to talk a little about the fight between Gon and Hanzo. It's really intriguing to me because of how different Hanzo acts during the match, compared to his usual self.

I've gathered that he definitely didn't enjoy any of it and really tried to go easy on Gon. He looked extremely uncomfortable after breaking Gon's arm. And even though Hanzo is a master of torture, he really went easy on him. Throughout the whole match, Gon was beaten up pretty badly by Hanzo and of course, had his arm broken. But every time Hanzo would punch or kick Gon, he would only do it once and pause before punching or kicking him again. He gave him chance and chance again to give up.

And even when he tried reasoning with Gon, it was never demeaning or insulting. It was reasoning. And when he tried to reason with him again when he was doing the handstand thing, what he told him was, "At this point in time, you have no hope of defeating me." He said, "At this point in time." Not "Never," or anything the like. He could very well have caused Gon to need amputation of his arm or legs if he wanted by breaking his bones badly enough in several places so that they would be past repair. But he never did. In fact, when he did break Gon's arm it was a "clean break," and "easily set." Satotz even told Gon that his arm would be even stronger once it healed.

But something I noticed and have been thinking about is that maybe Hanzo was trying to dissociate during the match. When Gon and Hanzo first enter the match and are just walking to the center of the room, we see Gon looking at Hanzo and keeping an eye on his opponent. But when we look at Hanzo, we get a clear shot of him staring off at nothing. He looks like he's zoning out.

Now, I doubt that if he was dissociated that it was during the whole match if at all. Some sources have said that people are unable to talk while dissociated while others have claimed they are able to. But I think he would likely have been doing this out of habit and as a trauma response. And it would make total sense for him to do this. He is literally a ninja. I know it gets brushed off as "Oh haha, the weird ninja guy, is he from Naruto or something?"

But we actually see a glimpse of what Hanzo's training is like and it's brutal.

In the first image, it shows him and others being hung upside down by their feet. It isn't as if they're wearing a harness and just pull themselves back up when they want, their legs are literally bound together with rope or bandage and they're just hanging there. Have you ever tried hanging upside down on the monkey bars as a kid? You know how after a while it's painful and you get dizzy? They likely had to stay like this for a while.

The next image we were shown freaked me out a bit more. While not as extreme, this is very similar to "Quartering." An execution method in which the victim had each limb tied and attached to a horse and then they would have the horse go in opposite directions, ripping them apart. They are doing the same thing to him but with more ropes and people instead of horses. And they did this to him from a very young age. In all of these images (not just the two above), he always portrays the other people as taller or bigger and him being smaller. These are events that happened when he was very young. He claims to have been training from the day he was born (probably impossible) but to him, this might actually be accurate.

He had killed someone by the age of 12. It doesn't seem like a big deal because also in HxH is Killua a 12-year-old ex-assassin. But seriously. Could you imagine being made to do that before you were even 12? That is horrifying, not to mention any other traumas he may have experienced, and from what he shows us, they were awful. But this is where it makes sense that he thinks he's been training from the day he was born. Obviously, training is all he's been doing his whole life, I believe that but he was traumatized, there is no debate, there is no way he could have gone through all that without trauma.

When people are traumatized one of the responses is dissociation. It can be voluntary but also involuntary. With dissociating the person forgets everything that happened. It can protect the person from remembering a traumatic event. It really isn't a stretch to say he likely dissociates intentionally when he does things like torturing. He obviously has some coping methods (be them healthy or not) for when he's in those situations. When explaining why he didn't straight-up torture Gon he says, "I expect when I torture someone, my victim will despise me for the rest of their life. It's more effective and less stressful."

Having to torture someone who doesn't hate him is stressful and he literally admits it himself. He likely wanted to dissociate from the fight because it gave him a lot of emotional distress, but Gon just wouldn't hate him no matter what, hence why maybe he wasn't able to dissociate and became more and more agitated and escalated to threatening dismemberment of his legs. It's not like it was a short escalation, this was over 3 hours of him having to beat up Gon, something causing him a lot of distress, be judged and berated by the people watching who he had wanted to bond with some of them, adding humiliation to the mix, he is unable to dissociate and cope, Gon manages to kick him while his guard is down and cause him more humiliation and now physical pain, and the cherry on top is Hanzo's own impossibly high standards.

We've seen more than once during the exam that Hanzo has very high standards for himself, feeling defeated and like a failure when having to get more badges than he bargained for, and becoming angry with himself for coming in third place at trick tower.

It's really no wonder that he threatened to cut off Gon's legs and had a bit of a tantrum before threatening to just kill him. But keep in mind he never actually did it. And I don't think he actually intended to. I think he wanted to try and scare Gon into finally surrendering, and when Gon brought him back to reality with the reasoning of him being disqualified if he cut his legs off, he became frustrated and overwhelmed. He can't even speak for that moment and doesn't know what to say.

That's why he then threatens to kill Gon as a final attempt to make him back down. But he actually gives it away that he didn't intend to kill Gon at all. When He tries to reason once more and Gon explains that he needs to see his dad and that it's his only chance, Hanzo says, "So, logic had nothing to do with it," to himself. He thought Gon was playing mind games with him too, even more reason that he would become emotionally distressed so easily. But he was threatening Gon with killing him because he thought that it would break through any mind games he was playing and end the match.

But in realizing, it wasn't the case he finally gave up. That's why I just can't see Hanzo as a bad person.

I don't know a ton about dissociation, as I don't experience it and I am not a psychologist. I have done a lot of research on DID, but not dissociation on its own, so I would absolutely love to hear from anyone who experiences it or knows more about it if you want to add more and correct me on something. I tried not to mention anything about dissociation that I didn't fact-check from multiple sources.

can u do some headcanons on how hanzo would treat his trans boyfriend if they had some gender dysphoria :} ?

Absolutely! I don't know a lot about what gender dysphoria is like because I haven't had a lot of experience with it but I will do my best!

-Honestly, he's probably the one to bring it up first

-He doesn't know what's wrong but he can tell something is

-He's going to cut to the chase and ask what's wrong

-And given he's a master of torture he will know if you're making up some excuse not to talk about what's really going on

-When you do tell him what's wrong and how you're feeling very dysphoric he'll try to verbally comfort you

-He will end up talking a lot but the things he says are very comforting

-He'll listen to you talk about how you've been feeling lately and ask a few questions about it

-If there's anything he thinks he can do to help he'll sure try

-He'll give you hugs and cuddles to try and make you feel better

-Might take you on a date later just to try and help you get your mind off it, maybe a movie

-If you don't feel like being out and about you two can always watch or do something at home
