The impact of Kite’s death can still be felt throughout the series, making it a memorable moment for fans of the anime.

Why Was Kite Reborn As A Girl?

Kite was reborn as a girl because when she was killed, her body was consumed by the ant queen, who was pregnant at the time. The baby that the queen gave birth to was a girl, and it is believed that Kite’s soul was reincarnated into the newborn. This is evidenced by the fact that the child rejected the name given to her by her caretakers and instead referred to herself as Kite. This event took place in Episode 92 of the series.

How Is Kite Still Alive?

Kite’s survival is attributed to a rare ability called “Nen after death.” This ability is only possessed by a select few Nen users who, upon their death, have their Nen become stronger and are reborn with a new body. Kite’s case is unique in that his soul was able to take over the body of the Chimera Ant Queen’s unborn child when she consumed his corpse. Thus, Kite was reborn as a Chimera Ant-human hybrid and was later rescued by Gon and Killua. It shold also be noted that Kite’s resurrection was not without consequences as he suffered from memory loss and a change in personality due to the trauma of being reborn.

What Does Gon Do When Kite Dies?

When Gon learns about Kite’s death, he is devastated and expresses his disbelief by calling Neferpitou a liar. However, a sudden surge of dark aura surrounds him, surprising Neferpitou and making them question the immense power. The candles are blown out, and Gon begins to transform into a tall and dark figure. It is evident that Gon is overwhelmed by emotions and his transformation indicates that he is going through a significant change.

Conclusion

Despite being a skilled and experienced hunter, he met his untimely demise at the hands of the Chimera Ants, and his body was consumed by the queen. However, his spirit was able to take over the body of the queen’s newborn daughter, who he identified as himself through his refusal to accept any other name. While his rebirth as the Chimera Ant Kite brought some closure to his story, it was a bittersweet revelation for Gon and the other characters who mourned his loss.
