He is thought to be a chimera ant who kept his strong human ideology and ignored the Queen's orders. There have been theories (if you are caught up with the manga) that he will be a big player when we get to the dark continent. Togashi wouldn't waste a character with this much backstory and now with the power of a chimera ant/human hybrid.

oh really when? (I have read the manga, but probably missed it)

That's because he's going to show back up in the manga at some point, but hasn't just yet.

I find the long backstory for the NCL leader weird. It's really good but... He just dies off screen, this is never mentioned again or has any connecting to what's happening. It seems like a missed oppurtunity

Gon is so interesting to look at as a a character in hindsight

Well, I don't think my comment's specifically spoiling anything and I did refer to PAST episodes when it came to context. You shouldn't be banned from themes that exist in previous episodes since that's just nitpicking. Everything could be a spoiler when the boundaries are too loose.

You're just inviting the wrath of Princes Paladin If you speak about this show she shows up and yells spoilers.

Heck, you could probably find my comments in manga discussions 10 years ago concerning this. I swear... ignorance isn't bliss.

Bruh, you guys gotta stop treating everyone like they're dumbasses. You don't need hindsight to see Gon's hypocritical side. Whether it's the Hunter exams, the way he acted in the Phantom Troupe arc or his friendship with Killua, Gon's hypocrisy is EVERYWHERE. The point is that he's extremely selfish and that was already mentioned by multiple characters.
Just because you don't pay attention to details doesn't mean no one else can. I've already commented 30 episodes ago about the appraiser's comments on Gon as well as 20 episodes ago when Bisky talked about Gon's weaknesses.

Hindsight is 20/20. It's easy to see Gon's hypocritical side when you have the full picture and you've seen everything that happens.

Also, Caleb's point about the Chimera ants being not a single person's reincarnation is something I preached for a long time.
My issue with Jacob's contrast point is that Gon's actually one of the biggest hypocrites in the show along with the Phantom Troupe. Hunter X Hunter's rather clear in its grey morality. Either way, it's a good thing that most of their theories are misses more than hits so far lol.

I'm so glad up to this point, they're still neutral enough to understand that Chimera Ants aren't necessarily "evil" cause morality's very subjective. When it comes to the ants' society, they're acting rather normal.

I think this was the part of the manga that I first realized this arc was going to be a very different thing from the past arcs.
