He's kind of like an animal, in a sense, since he doesn't hold a grudge according to any higher morals. So, if someone is a murderer, Gon might not care any more than a dog would care if its owner killed people. A dog would remain loyal to the owner to the last breath, if the owner kept treating the dog well, no matter what kind of monster the owner was otherwise. I suppose this kind of personality might make it difficult to really understand Gon, but I like how it makes HxH fundamentally different from great many other shounen action/adventure series.
