It later got a CG animated television series co-produced by Kodansha and Korean publisher Daewon Media and aired in Japan from April 2, 2012 to March 25, 2013. it ran for 50 episodes.

## **Biography**

Gon is a  miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex who is unlike many other characters who share his species, being both playful and innocent, yet also extremely strong despite his small size. The yellow dinosaur is somewhat chaotic, as many of his actions are focused on doing what he wants and finds to be fun. The chaotic and surprisingly strong dinosaur finds himself dethroning Uru the bear, the previous king of the jungle, not out of any kind of ill will towards the bear, but purely because Gon is able to withstand all of Uru’s attacks and attempts to undermine him.

From as early as the first episode, Gon is shown to be extremely gassy. In Gon’s debut appearance, he showcases his playful and cheerful personality, as he farts, after being bullied by Uru the Bear. Uru, being a strong bear, is feared and pampered by every other animal, so when he meets Gon, he expects the yellow dinosaur to pamper and give him what he wants. Gon is unafraid and takes several punches from Uru like it is nothing, even smiling as Uru picks him up off the ground to throw him. As Uru picks him up, Gon’s tail wags and he lets out a variety of farts while laughing and smiling. Thus is the first of many animals that Gon manages to humble and win over to his side, all due to his loving personality.

## **Personality**

Gon seems to be extremely fun loving and always wanting to play, as he manages to overpower and turn enemies into friends, through a mix of his cheerful personality, strength, and even his farts. There was the previously mentioned example of Uru the bear, who despite being 10 times bigger than Gon, was eventually overpowered by Gon, citing the dinosaurs fart’s as being “unbearable.” However unlike other characters in his series, Gon does not like to use farts to torment innocent people, and instead the dinosaur prefers to make friends with others, farting back against others when they try and fart on him.

In the debut episode of Kunka the Skunk, all of the other animals are shown to fear how strong Kunka’s farts are. Fuuro, the honey badger, begins going around and farting on Gon and the other animals, to try to live up to Kunka. Gon, having enough of all the farting, decides to reveal his true strength as a farter, and storms Kunka’s hideout, challenging Kunka to a fart contest. Kunka’s farts put up a strong fight, but Gon wins, with Gon’s fart being so powerful that it knocks Kunka out of his hideout.

In the episode, *Smelly Romance*, Kunka tries to start another fart contest with Gon. Gon fearlessly tries to begin another fart contest with Kunka, but is stopped when Kunka’s crush Ai screams at them, which makes Kunka give up on the fart contest in fear of his crush.

## **Farting Ability**

Similiar to other characters in Gon, the yellow and tan colored dinosaur has farts that take on the appearance of his skin tone, His farts are a dusty, somewhat tanish yellow color, and are somewhat thick. The farts' stench is shown to be extremely powerful wether Gon lets out a small or a big one, depending on the volume of the visible farts and the deepness of their sounds.

## **Farting Highlights**

Gon farts many times throughout his Korean TV series, but this is not the only adaption of Gon to feature farts. The game Tekken 3, features Gon as an unlockable character. In this game, Gon can use a fart attack known as “Gon with the Wind” making Gon one of a small group of characters in Tekken that are canonically able to fart.

Gon’s farting in Tekken 3, also led to farting becoming a trait he did in the world of manga as well, which can be seen in the gallery below.
