"I don't want him to be a person who can't keep his word..." "Especially not Gon." "Don't worry about him." "Gon is very independent." "But he's still a child who's not even ten years old!" "If anything happens to him..." "Don't forget one thing." "You can act like his mother, but you can never be a substitute father." "Forgive me." "But there is a rule to terminate beasts which harm people." "Can you stand?" "Y-Yup." "What fool would walk into Snakebeech Forest at this time of year?" "!" "See!" "It marked its territory!" "Any stupid animal will run away at this sight!" "Didn't your father teach you a basic thing like this?" "!" "Damn!" "I should have ignored the speckled squirrel's warning." "I haven't done such a disgusting kill in a long time!" "I don't have a father or a mother." "I heard they were killed in an accident soon after I was born." "My aunt is taking care of me." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Don't be." "Thank you for saving me." "What are you going to do with that cub?" "I'll take care of it." "It'll starve to death soon." "Even if it survives, there's a good chance it'll attack humans for killing its mother." "What are you doing?" "I will raise him." "Impossible." "A Foxbear will never get attached to humans." "Still...!" "You..." "Gon, you're late." "I told you to...!" "I'm sorry, Aunt Mito." "Gon!" "How did you get these cuts?" "Ah, well..." "I fell in the woods..." "Huh?" "Aunt Mito!" "Those cuts were not made by falling." "If you won't tell me the truth, you must stay outside all night." "I got it, Aunt Mito." "I'm sorry I lied." "I found a baby Foxbear which got separated from its mother." "When I tried to catch him, he scratched me." "All right." "You may come in." "We have to take care of those scratches before a meal." "Okay!" "Hey, kid." "How long are you going to stay there?" "Suit yourself." "Come on." "Push harder." "O-Okay." "Ready?" "My name is Kite." "I'm a Hunter." "What is a Hunter?" "The world is filled with mysteries." "A Hunter is one who pursues such mysteries and things that are hard to obtain." "Say, why did you come here?" "I am looking for my teacher." "Your teacher?" "Yeah." "The final test to make my teacher acknowledge me is to find him." "Really?" "Anyway, it's more difficult than any other kind of hunting." "Gon, you told me yesterday that your parents had passed away, didn't you?" "Yup." "Do you know anything about your father?" "Well, Aunt Mito won't tell me much about him." "I see..." "What's his name?" "His name is Ging Freecss." "Gon..." "Your father is still alive." "He is alive somewhere in this world." "Your father, Ging Freecss, is my teacher." "In other words, he is a Hunter." "A Hunter..." "Yes." "The best Hunter in the world." "What are you saying?" "!" "I want to know about my father." "Please tell me, Aunt Mito!" "Tell you about your father?" "He was just an ordinary man." "He ran this shop, and he was killed in an accident before you were born." "There's nothing else I can tell you about him." "It may sound cruel, but I wanted you to forget quickly about someone who's dead." "I realized that I can't be your father." "But I don't think I've ever made you feel that you miss him." "No..." "I'm glad that you understand." "I wonder why Aunt Mito lies to me." "Besides, if my father is alive, why doesn't he come to see me?" "Does it mean that, after all..." "I was abandoned?" "Ah, the shop is not open yet." "I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry." "Is that what you want?" "Yes, it's my favorite." "I'll take this." "Mom, I'm sorry I'm late." "Do you know where Gon" "Oh, a customer..." "I beg your pardon!" "No." "Sorry for troubling you." "I think I've done something I shouldn't have..." "But looking at him..." "You will regret this..." "If you wanted to burn it, you could have done it long ago." "So why now?" "Mom..." "I'm scared..." "Since Gon started saying things like that." "I'm afraid that he is going to leave." "If you want to be his mother, you must understand that a boy will leave his mother someday." "It's something you can't stop." "Just like him?" "Yes... {\fad(0,550)}That light in his eyes is just like his father's." "It's in his blood." "Yes." "He has the skills to be an excellent Hunter..." "A mark of a good Hunter is to be liked by animals." "You are eligible to take the Hunter Exam when you become 12 years old." "It's up to you how to spend your time until then." "This is..." "The Hunter Exam Application Card." "I want to take the Hunter Exam." "W-Why?" "I know everything." "I know my father is still alive." "And that he's a Hunter..." "I want to become a Hunter and find my father!" "Please understand, Aunt Mito!" "These past three years..." "I've watched Gon..." "And I've known that he would say this some day." "Then?" "!" "No!" "You can't be a Hunter!" "Mito, you must understand him." "On one condition." "Gon is going to catch the Master of the Swamp?" "Yeah." "Within a week." "I wonder if a small boy like him can catch it?" "No." "I heard that it was too big for even five grown men." "Mito, you gave him a difficult task." "If he can't handle a thing like that, he can never be a Hunter." "All right!" "This is it!" "You failed again." "Aunt Mito, I'm sorry." "I tore my shirt." "Why do you keep trying?" "Why don't you give up already?" "No!" "I will catch it!" "You promised me!" "I am going to be a Hunter!" "I'll become a Hunter and look for my father!" "What will do you when you find him?" "!" "He abandoned you when you were just a baby!" "It's true." "Ging was a Hunter." "He would go off on long journeys and return once in a while." "While he was gone, my sister missed him terribly." "It was so hard for me to watch my sister suffer..." "And I hated Ging for that!" "Just who did he think he was?" "He neglected his family... even his child!" "And you're going to be a Hunter to look for such a person?" "!" "But... it must be a job that's worth continuing even at the cost of neglecting his own child." "Being a Hunter means that much." "You are his child, after all!" "Where is Aunt Mito?" "Today is the last day of the promise, right?" "You'd better finish eating quickly." "Okay..." "Open it." "This is..." "That's the rod that Ging used to use." "If you can't catch it using that..." "Aunt Mito." "Thank you!" "I'm going to catch the guardian fish of the swamp with this rod!" "Here it comes!" "Here it comes!" "It's the guardian fish!" "I can never pull that out of the water like this!" "What'll I do?" "!" "What would my father do?" "That's it!" "That guardian fish may lessen it's pull." "That's my chance!" "Now!" "I did it!" "You promised me, Aunt Mito." "Now I can take the Exam to become a Hunter, can't I?" "Don't grow up to be someone who can't keep his promise." "You taught me that, Aunt Mito." "Is that the guardian fish of the swamp?" "I can't believe it!" "Do whatever you like..." "Yup..." "Thank you..." "I'm sorry, Gon." "I lied to you." "Ging didn't abandon you." "I won custody of you in court and took you from Ging..." "I knew it was a lie." "Because, Aunt Mito, you never look straight at me when you lie." "Gon!" "The way you smell, Aunt Mito..." "I don't know the smell of my real mother." "But your smell is the smell of my mother." "I will never forget you, no matter where I go." "Aunt Mito, you are the same as my mom..." "The final test is to find him." "It's more difficult than any other hunt." "He is the supreme Hunter." "Dad, I'm coming to see you." "Take care."

"If you got that, why don't you go back to your mama?" "!" "Oh, no!" "Hold it right there!" "Go!" "What?" "!" "Oops!" "It's the Kaijinmaru..." "Pardon?" "The ship you want to take." "It leaves at 6 o'clock!" "Thank you!" "It's Whale Island..." "Be punctual for the departure." "ls that clear?" "!" "You there, the new face!" "Enough cleaning." "Bring us tea!" "Yeah!" "Anyway, I'm amazed that you really caught it..." "Heh!" "I'm not in the hunting business for nothing." "A Hunter he says..." "Come and see for yourself." "Many rare animals of the world are exhibited inside!" "Let me see." "The Kaijinmaru, the Kaijinmaru... ls this it?" "You two, I'll be your guide!" "Ah, is this ship..." "Welcome to the show!" "Please, this way." "Please step inside!" "Say..." "You can pay on your way out!" "Many rare animals collected from all over the world are exhibited here." "Let's begin with the giant snake with three heads named A-chan, B-chan, and C-chan." "Next up is a giant tree frog which jumps around when it rains." "Following that is a round turtle." "Once she starts rolling around, she can't stop." "This Foxbear is most dangerous." "They are known to be very wild and they will never be tamed by humans." "When we caught this particular Foxbear... three people died." "I'm sorry to make you do the promotion for the exhibition..." "Oh well, I had fun killing time..." "By the way, about this thing." "You know I'm taking quite a risk for this." "You've got to give me a real good price." "Or it won't be worth it!" "All right, Mr. Hunter!" "Oh well, you know it's give and take." "Ah..." "You may go now." "Okay..." "Will this do?" "No way..." "That's way too little." "What was that?" "It came from the cage." "What?" "!" "We'll talk about money later...!" "All right!" "Please step back!" "I'm very sorry that you are locked in the cage." "Just like Konta, I bet you once ruled the forest." "The Foxbear..." "What the hell is he?" "What happened?" "What is going on?" "This boy began to pet the Foxbear and... the Foxbear became excited... and now it's licking him!" "Don't disturb our business." "Even though you're just a kid, I'd have to take serious action." "Mr. Hunter..." "Right." "A Hunter?" "Do you want to save this?" "I can't let you do it." "It's a precious source of income, you know." "ls he the Hunter?" "Excuse me..." "Here it is." "I think the code was... I guess that is the gong of the Kaijinmaru..." "Hmm?" "The ship's leaving." "What'll I do?" "Mister!" "Eh?" "Mister, why are you here?" "The ship is leaving, isn't it?" "I can make it if I hurry!" ""Why am I here?"" "You know, I have a strong sense of duty." "By the way, look what I have here." "You know we don't have time!" "I'm going ahead!" "Geez!" "I can't keep hanging with you!" "Now, go!" "Go anywhere you like!" "You are all free!" "He's so reckless!" "Wait!" "Did you do this?" "!" "You are bad guys, aren't you?" "!" "Damn, I took you too lightly, lad!" "Mr. Hunter, teach him a lesson please!" "Look, kid, why did you do that?" "You willing to fight?" "Do you know I'm a Hunter?" "You are not a Hunter!" "What did you say?" "!" "You have some nerve!" "Let me teach you what will happen if you defy a Hunter!" "What the hell...?" "!" "Mr. Hunter... I can do this if I weren't so hungry..." "Mister, you said you were going ahead... I told you I had a strong sense of duty!" "Besides, I wanted to settle the score with this fake." "Mister!" "Just as I thought." "First of all, if he were real, he wouldn't be downed by one blow." "Really!" "Hold it!" "Yes!" "Well, this is the money to cover the escaped animals." "Say, Mister, are you sure about giving that money to him?" "That money was supposed to be given to that fake by the owner!" "However, I've gotten some money for my service." "Quite abundantly." "Anyway, hurry up!" "Or we won't make it!" "Yup!" "Time to set out!" "Hoist the sails!" "Wait!" "Wait for us!" "I want to take that ship!" "So do I!" "You're late!" "The ship won't turn back!" "Swim to reach the ship!" "The ship is under full sail." "It's impossible for them to catch up by swimming!" "Taking us lightly!" "For such a small kid to try to be a Hunter!" "Mister, follow me!" "I'll figure something out." "H-Hey!" "Damn, I should have left him..." "Hey!" "You said you'd figure something out!" "Leave it to me!" "What are they trying?" "No way!" "All right." "Here we go!" "Oops." "Go!" "Hold on to me!" "Y-Yeah." "Mister, are you all right?" "Ouch..." "Don't call me "mister"!" "I'm Mr. Leorio!"

"W-What?" "Hey!" "Let go!" "Do it." "One, two!" "You are on my ship and you will all obey my rules!" "If I don't like you, I'll throw you overboard!" "Keep that in mind!" "Humph." "We're paying customers." "Got a bite!" "Gotcha!" "Hey, son." "You caught a big one." "Not only that, a flying bonito is very special and rare catch." "Yup." "I don't see it much on Whale Island." "The wind has died down." "Not even a light breeze." "I wonder how long it will take to reach Dolle Island." "It's coming." "A storm is coming." "Hmm?" "Stop joking." "The sea's totally flat." "The air is getting moist." "And it's salty." "The sea cranes are warning each other." "Sea cranes?" "Are you saying that you understand the birds?" "Yup." "But not completely." "Are you pulling my leg?" "Son..." "You got on at Whale Island, right?" "Yup." "What does your father do?" "He's a Hunter." "I only know him from photos." "But I respect him." "I see..." "So, your father is also a Hunter..." "Son..." "What is it?" "What is the size of the storm, and when does it come?" "Sea cranes are saying it is really big." "Considering the speed of this ship..." "In two hours." "I've been in this business a long time, but you're only the second person who guessed it right." "I'm the second?" "Guys!" "Lower the sails!" "Get a move on!" "Move!" "Hey, watch it!" "Well, sorry." "My hand slipped." "I doubt it!" "It's ten years too soon for you to test me with this thing!" "I guess there are some prospective applicants this year." " Look!" " What's that?" "St. Elmo's fire." "St. Elmo's fire?" "It's a weather phenomenon caused by the spontaneous discharge of static electricity from thunderclouds or electrified clouds towards objects below." "Oh." "Finally, you spoke up." "I guess I should thank you for the scholarly explanation." "Among sailors, we have a saying that if you see St. Elmo's fire, you won't go home alive." "That sounds cool." "It's coming, a huge storm..." "Seems I'll get to meet some prospective applicants who have all the makings to become a Hunter." "This is terrible!" "Mommy!" "Oh, wind, blow harder on the stormy seas~" "Captain, we're taking in water below!" "Damn!" "Stuff the leaks with those useless asses lying around!" "Aye ay, sir." "Hard to port!" "Here we go!" "Shameful!" "And you all intend to take the Hunter's Exam?" "What a laugh!" "Here." "Have some water." "And chew on this grass." "It's soothing." "I guess it's the three of them." "A whale offshore is calling me~" "You want to know my name?" "!" "That's right." "I'm Gon." "I'm Kurapika." "I.." "I am Leorio!" "Gon, Kurapika and Leorio..." "And?" "Why do you want to be Hunters?" "Don't question us like that!" "You're not even an interviewer." "Just answer it." "What did you say?" "!" "It's what my father does!" "So I want to see what it's like." "Hey, wait your turn." "I'm still talking to this old man." "What's the big deal?" "Just telling him the reason." "I don't want to!" "I will never tell you!" "Look!" "I never do anything I don't want, even if it means fighting." "I agree with you, Leorio." "Hey..." "How old are you?" "Don't act like you know me!" "It's easy to avert an unwanted question by making up a believable story." "However, I consider making a false statement is a most shameful action akin to greed." "Call me "Mr. Leorio"!" "However, my reason for applying is too personal to tell someone I just met." "Therefore, I can't answer your question at this moment." "Call me Mr. Leorio." "Mr. Leorio!" "Get off my ship immediately if you can't answer my question." "You still don't get it?" "The Hunter Exam has already begun." "It started the moment you got on this ship." "That's from the Hunter Association...!" "As you may know, there are hoards of people who want to get the Hunter License..." "However, proctors have no time to examine all of those people." "Therefore, someone like me is hired to screen the applicants." "The ones who have been thrown off the ship and the ones lying around here are reported to the committee and disqualified." "Even if they go to the Exam Hall, they will be turned away." "It means that whether you can take the Exam or not depends solely on me." "You'd better answer my question very carefully." "Geez..." "I have no choice then." "I guess I have to answer." "The reason I want to be a Hunter is..." "I am the only survivor of the Kurta Clan." "Hey, I'm trying to talk!" "I want to be a "Blacklist Hunter"" "to capture convicts who have bounties on their heads." "The reason for that?" "Four years ago, all of my brethren were massacred by a gang of thieves, "the Phantom Troupe"!" "I am determined to capture them." "For that reason..." "You want to be a Hunter?" "All members of the Phantom Troupe are on the most wanted list." "Even the most experienced Hunter hesitates." "You may end up dying in vain." "I'm not afraid of dying." "The worst fear I have is that my anger will fade away." "I see." "Don't give me that important crap!" "If you want revenge, you don't have to be a Hunter." "That is one of the most foolish comments I've ever heard." "There are places and information that only Hunters are allowed access to and actions you are allowed to take only as a Hunter, Leorio." "I told you to call me Mr. Leorio!" "Well then, what is your motive, Mr. Leorio?" "Mine?" "I won't answer your question just to impress you." "So, I'll tell you honestly." "Money!" "I will be a Hunter, and I'll make lots of money!" "If I have money, I can get anything!" "A huge mansion!" "A great car." "Expensive liquor, even women!" "You can't buy class, Leorio." "This is the third time." "Let's go outside." "I guess the dirty Kurta Clan's man doesn't know about courtesy." "Take back your words, Leorio." "Remember, it's "Mr. Leorio."" "Come!" "With pleasure." "H-Hey, wait!" "I'm not through with you yet." "Hey!" "Wait." "Leave them alone." ""If you want to know someone, know what makes them angry."" "I like those words that Aunt Mito taught me." "It seems to me that the reason for their anger is very important." "You'd better not stop them." "What?" "!" "A crack in the main mast?" "Aye... it should be taken care of right away, or else..." "If you take back your words, I will forgive you, Leorio." "You do it first, Kurapika." "I have no intention of yielding." "Here I go!" "You are quite good." "As are you!" "Katzo, be careful!" "Katzo!" "Th-Thank you... you saved my life." "All right, pull it." "Gon!" "That was so reckless!" "Very reckless, indeed." "If we didn't grab you, you'd have been a goner too!" "But you caught me, didn't you?" "By the way, what happened to the duel?" "Duel?" "Ah, right." "We were doing that." "Let me apologize for my rude action." "I'm sorry, Mr. Leorio." "Hey, don't be so square." "You can call me Leorio, Kurapika." "Let me apologize, too." "I take back everything I said to you about your people." "The three of you have passed the trial!" "Are you serious?" "Yeah, I'll take you to Dolle Island." "Yippee!" "But can this scrap make it without sinking?" "Trust me!" "Hurrah!" "It's Dolle Island!" "But how do we get to the Exam Hall?"

"Most of them are probably here for the same purpose." "So they're Hunter applicants from all over the world..." "Let's see now." "Transportation to Zaban City is...?" "Captain, thank you for everything." "I had a lot of fun." "Well said, Gon." "The stormy journey was "fun," was it?" "But you've only reached Dolle Harbor." "You still have a long, difficult ways to go." "Yup, I know." "If you're lecturing us, no thanks." "You gave us plenty during the sail." "Then I will give you one last piece of advice." "Let's say, it's a special tip." "A special tip?" "Look." "Head for that lone cedar." "That is one of the shortcuts to the Exam Hall." "If you got that, be on your way." "The Exam has already begun." "Well, take care." "Yeah." "Same to you all." "Good bye, everyone!" "Ging, don't worry." "Turns out the child of a hawk is still a hawk." "But it's strange..." "Zaban City, the site of the Exam, is located in the opposite direction from the mountain where the lone cedar is." "That's true." "That's no shortcut." "We could end up going there in vain." "Shouldn't we head straight for Zaban City?" "If you are heading for Zaban City, there's a direct bus." "The bus stop is right over there." "Who are you?" "I'm Matthew." "I am a rookie applicant just like you." "Nice to meet you." "I'm Gon." "Don't mind about him." "He's a bit strange." "I'm Leorio." "Say, Mr. Matthew, are you going to take the bus, too?" "Unfortunately, I get sick riding on a bus." "Besides, I've already decided to head for the mountain with the lone cedar." "Then we're going the same way, aren't we?" "Oh, what a coincidence." "I was looking for a companion too." "Let's go together, Gon." "Yup." "Look, Gon." "I'll do as the captain said." "He probably had a reason for that." "You'd better learn to doubt people!" "I recommend taking a bus." "H-Hey, Kurapika." "I don't care about what the captain said, but I'm more curious what Gon does." "I'll keep company with him for a while." "Geez, he's not as independent as I thought." "So long!" "It was a short acqaintance, but take care!" "Take care, Mr. Leorio!" "Hey, that hurt!" "What a crowd!" "Hey, hold it!" "A clump of iron and a clump of cotton, both weighing one ton." "Which is heavier?" "A clump of iron." "Wrong!" "The answer is neither." "Both weigh one ton." "An older brother and a younger brother." "Which one is older?" "The answer is you can't tell." "Because they could be twins." "Bingo!" "What're those kids doing?" "Leave them alone." "We're in a hurry." "Yeah!" "You can go!" "Great!" "Most of the applicants are sheer fools aiming to make a fortune by becoming a Hunter." "It would be nice to meet applicants who don't disappoint us once in a while." "Don't shove, damn it!" "Geez!" "Hey, driver!" "How long does it take to reach Zaban City?" "Don't talk to me while I'm driving, sir." "It's dangerous." "Hey, we passed here before." "This bus has been circling around and around!" "Th-That's ridiculous!" "Hey!" "Is this bus really heading for Zaban City!" "Zaban City?" "Yeah." "If I feel like it." "Wh-What did you say?" "It's a trap!" "This bus is a trap!" "Don't fool around with me!" "Hey, stop the bus!" "I stopped it, sir." "Y-Yeah." "Thanks." "Huh?" "What's this?" "Oh no!" "Wha?" "!" "H-Hey!" "Hurry!" "Start the bus quickly!" "You sure are demanding." "Sir, I look forward to serving you again." "I'll never ride your bus again, punk!" "Fine with me!" "Oh what the heck..." "Does your leg still hurt, Mr. Matthew?" "Yeah..." "It seems like I sprained my ankle walking on an unfamiliar mountain path." "I'm sorry, Gon..." "Don't worry about it." "That's right!" "Wait here a minute, Mr. Matthew." "What's the matter, Gon?" "There could be medicinal herbs in the mountain." "I'll look for some!" "Wh-What are you talking about?" "!" "We can't waste time doing that..." "If you are in a hurry, why don't you go ahead by yourself?" "What...?" "So long." "Damn..." "Just when we're almost there." "Hey, don't leave me alone." "Where are you, Gon?" "!" "You, beast." "If you attack me, you'll be sorry!" "Put that thing away!" "You can't even use it properly, can you?" "Hey, hey..." "Gon!" "It's too agitated." "We have no other choice." "Wait, Kurapika." "It became nervous because we entered its territory." "Calm down." "I won't do anything." "We have no intention of violating your territory." "So..." "Watch it!" "Gon!" "Damn you!" "Don't come this way!" "What did he come here for?" "A trap?" "The bus?" "Yeah, I had a terrible time!" "So you came back to follow Gon." "Right, Leorio?" "Th-That's not exactly right." "But I thought you might be missing me." "You know the saying, "when you travel, take a friend."" "So please, Gon, send that rhino away!" "Good bye." "How long are we going to waste time here?" "Someone may have gone ahead and beat us to it by now." "If we didn't daily here like I warned you, we could have avoided this danger." "But it turned out to be nice." "What?" "We were able to meet-up Mr. Leorio." "And it seems like your ankle got better." "I'm glad for you, Mr. Matthew." "What an eerie place!" "There's no one around here." "But there are many people, right?" "Yes." "Be careful." "Why?" "How can you say that?" "!" "Can't you hear breathing sounds all around us?" "Yup, and the rustling of clothes..." "I wonder if they are hiding." "Unfortunately, I am an ordinary man." "Gon!" "I found you, Ma'am." "H-Hey." "Hey, what is it?" "Who are they?" "!" "Doki, doki, doki, doki?" "!" "Who the hell are they?" "Hey, Matthew!" "Are you sure we're on the right path?" "Yeah, I'm positive." "But if you want to take a different route," "I won't stop you." "Fine, I'll do that." "I'm fed up with these stupid traps!" "That bus was bad enough!" "Hold it, Leorio." "Just like Matthew says, this is the right path." "What?" "The other paths were filled with signs of dangerous beasts and magical monsters." "In order to avoid that, we headed for that lone cedar and it led us to this town." "Then who the hell are they?" "This is also a trap, isn't it?" "Listen." "You're heading for the lone cedar, aren't you?" "You can never get there unless you go through this town." "Other paths are like a maze." "Moreover, there are violent beasts and monsters lying in wait." "That boy is right." "Oh look!" "It's the same mark the captain had!" "So this is also part of it." "We have to go through to take the Hunter Exam." "Damn..." "So is this old woman a proctor?" "And now, here's a heart stopping quiz!" "What?" "!" "A quiz!" "I will give you one question." "You are allowed five seconds to answer." "If you give a wrong answer, you will be disqualified." "And you should quit aspiring to be a Hunter." "No doubt about it." "This is the two choice quiz town I heard rumors about." "You must answer by choosing either (1) or (2)." "All other answers will be incorrect." "Hey, wait a minute." "You're giving us one question for all four of us?" "That will be quicker, won't it?" "But if he gives a wrong answer, I'll fail, too!" "That's impossible." "I'd say the possibility of the opposite is extremely high." "It almost brings me to tears." "But it means if one of us knows the answer, we're all safe!" "Besides, I'm not good at quizzes." "No thanks for me." "Let me try first." "Is that clear, Granny?" "Oh." "I suppose you are quite confident." "You can try it." "Good, it's decided." "I can't risk failing by taking the quiz with you guys." "Mr. Matthew?" "Sorry, but I never had any interest in becoming your pals." "I just needed you to reach this town safely." "I am quite good at using my brain." "I have no business with you anymore." "What did you say?" "!" "Damn you!" "Leave him alone." "Hearing the question in advance will give us a hint, too." "That's true, but..." "Let's do it quickly, Granny!" "Here is the question." "Both your mother and your girlfriend are captured by bad guys." "You can only save one person." "(1) Mother (2) Girlfriend." "Which will you save?" "Is this serious?" "!" "There's no legitimate answer to such a question." "It must be a joke..." "The question is too easy for me." "Anyway..." "Answer it within five seconds." "Five... four..." "One!" "What made you think that?" "You know, you only have one mother in the world." "But you can always find a girlfriend." "You can go." "Well, I'll go ahead and wait for you all." "I will set lots of traps for you." "Don't kid with us!" "This quiz is outrageous!" "Even if he saved his girlfriend, can you be absolutely sure that he made a mistake, huh, Granny?" "!" "There can't be a correct answer to such a stupid question!" "Or are you saying we have to pick an answer to please you?" "!" "I'm going back and taking another route!" "It's too late." "If you do not take the quiz, you will be disqualified immediately." "What?" "!" "You are not qualified to be a Hunter." "Gon!" "Leorio!" "What is it?" "Are you saying we should take such a stupid quiz?" "This quiz is..." "Hold it!" "I won't allow you to talk anymore." "I guess the boy with cat's eyes realized it." "If you say anything unnecessary," "I will disqualify you immediately." "Now, answer it." "(1) You take the quiz. (2) You don't take the quiz." "One!" "Figure it out, Leorio." "It's a simple trick." "Gon!" "I think you heard it, too." "Then you should realize the trick of this quiz!" "Here is the question." "Your son and your daughter are abducted." "You can only take one back." "(1) Daughter (2) Son." "Which do you chose?" "You old hag..." "Five... four... three... two... one!" "Time is up." "You got to be ready for this!" "Is that your answer?" "Leorio!" "Damn you!" "Amusing yourself with such an outrageous quiz!" "Who are you to say we can't be a Hunter if we can't answer the question?" "!" "I've had enough!" "Calm down, Leorio!" "Shut up!" "I'm going to drag this hag as my gift and charge into the Exam Hall!" "And, I'll bash all those patronizing proctors and teach them a lesson!" "Tell me, what does this have to do with becoming a Hunter!" "To hell with this hurdle for the Hunter Exam!" "Are you going to ruin our right of passage?" "What?" "We passed the quiz, Leorio." "Silence!" "That is the right answer." "Silence?" "Just like you said, there is no right answer." "You are right." "There is no right answer to this quiz." "However, the rule is that we can only answer the question by saying either (1) or (2)." "So we don't answer by staying silent." "But Matthew went to..." "She didn't say "correct."" "She only said "you can go."" "A minute ago, I heard his scream." "Probably he was attacked by a beast or a magical animal." "He tried to outwit us, but he ended up digging his own grave." "After all, this way is not the right path." "What?" "That's correct." "The right path is this one." "It's a straight road." "It takes about two hours to reach the top." "Silence is the answer..." "If you are not still happy about it, why don't you grab this old woman and take her anywhere you like?" "Ma'am..." "I'm sorry." "You don't need to apologize to me." "I am doing this in order to meet someone like you." "Work hard and be a good Hunter." "Ah, yeah..." "You may go now." "A couple living in the house underneath the lone cedar are the navigators." "If they find you promising, they will guide you to the Exam Hall." "No!" "I can't find the answer." "Hey, you were still thinking about that?" "You don't have to think about it anymore." "What?" "Why?" "The quiz is over." "And we passed the test!" "I know that." "Then..." "But... if we face a real situation in which we can only save one person out of two special people..." "Whichever you chose is not the right answer." "But, there will be a situation where you must make a choice." "That may happen someday..." "That is the real intention of this quiz..." "You must imagine all the possible harsh situations." "Reality suddenly turns merciless." "To prepare for the crossroads you will have to face someday..." "Wh What is going on?" "!" "Oww!" "Hurry and come, rookies." "I will take good care of you." "Say, I wonder what a navigator is?" "We've been tested to see if we qualify to become Hunters."

"It takes about two hours to reach the top." "You may go now." "A couple living in the house underneath the lone cedar tree are the navigators." "Say, Kurapika." "That old woman spoke about a "navigator."" "What is that?" "The site for the Hunter Exam changes every year." "The navigator perceives the exact location and leads prospective applicants to the site." "They say it's nearly impossible to reach the Exam Hall without their guidance." "Simply, we must find the navigator in order to reach the Exam Hall." "And we must make them recognize our talent and skills..." "Really." "It sounds very complicated." "Haven't we reached the exit yet?" "To hell with "it takes two hours by walking!"" "Two hours passed two hours ago." "I'm getting hungry." "And I want to relieve myself, too." "We'll leave you!" "Let's take a break." "Hey, the exit is right over there." "What?" "!" "Why didn't you say so sooner?" "!" "We walk out of the tunnel and there spreads a lake?" "Are we supposed to swim...?" "Look!" "There's a boat!" "Hey, water is leaking-in." "It's not a big problem..." "Plug it until we finish crossing." "Cripes!" "Don't tell me this ispart of the Hunter Exam?" "!" "That's the warning for the magical animals..." "Yeah, so it seems." "The magical animals?" "Say, I've been thinking." "How do we impress the navigator?" "I have no idea." "Well, we can..." "I guess it's appearance." "I'm sorry to say this, but Gon, you have no chance." "As for Kurapika, you're not tall enough!" "Taking that into account," "I'm the only one among us who can impress the navigator..." "Is that right?" "No... absolutely not." "What did you say?" "!" "After all, it takes more than just being physically strong." "Something else..." "Huh?" "Like intelligence and shrewdness..." "As for you, Gon, think of something you excel in." "Something I excel in...?" "You don't notice it yourself, but you excel in many things." "At least more than Leorio." "For me, it's my courage." "I wouldn't get scared, no matter what monsters I encounter." "Leorio... behind you." "Behind me?" "Look." "Leorio." "Here." "Even this lake that's as big as the ocean can be crossed quickly if I row the boat." "Hey!" "Is this a ruin?" "It seems like a relic of the ancient Sumi tribe." "Can you read it?" "Many parts are missing, so I can't say for sure..." "It seems like this is a warning for those who trespass this ruin." "Hey, forget about it." "Where is the straight path?" "The path that old woman talked about." "The path is right there." "It looks like a long, winding road to me." "That old woman said it's a straight road." "A straight road doesn't necessarily mean that it leads straight towards our destination." "Isn't that right, Gon?" "Yup." "Thank you for your explanation..." "Are you sure we can reach the Exam Hall by doing this?" "Look." "It's another warning sign about magical animals." "Hey, Gon." "You're walking so confidently, but I hope you're not leading us into a path of magical animals!" "Don't worry." "There's no trace of magical animals." "Then why is there a warning sign concerning magical animals?" "Anyway, how can you see so well in this darkness?" "My house was located deep in the mountain on Whale Island." "So, it was completely dark at night." "But the atmosphere of the woods at night is totally different here." "I found it!" "Oh?" "See!" "There's the lone cedar tree over there!" "It's strange that they are not here..." "She said there was a couple living here." "Doesn't seem like other applicants have reached here yet." "We're the first." "What shall we do?" "I'm going in." "No!" "M-My wife!" "Leorio!" "Take care of the wounded." "Yeah, leave it to me!" "Where did he go?" "There!" "What?" "!" "He can sense the movement of a magical animal in these dark woods." "He's quite a boy." "Leave that woman!" "Try taking her by force!" "Wow!" "He talks." "We call animals capable of speech,"magical animals!"" "That's the Kiriko which can transform its figure!" "It can even transform into a person." "Don't take her lightly!" "If it can speak, it'll be easier." "What?" "Hey!" "You stupid Kiriko!" "Hold it!" "Oh, who are you?" "You need not worry." "Are you in pain?" "My husband!" "What happened to my husband?" "!" "Don't worry." "One of my friends is taking care of him." "Please!" "Take me to my husband!" "Please!" "Please take me!" "This tattoo is..." "This will do for now." "But you need antibiotics for that wound." "Isn't there any place where the Midoguda herb grows?" "Yes, there is, but..." "It's kind of far and there might be magical animals around." "How can I take the Hunter Exam if I'm afraid of magical animals?" "But..." "My wife..." "My wife is...!" "Don't worry." "Gon and Kurapika went after her." "They'll do fine." "They'll return shortly." "Anyway, where is the place the Midoguda herb grows?" "Ah, that is..." "Come get me!" "Hey, hold it!" "It's me." "You okay, Kurapika?" "Where is Gon?" "He went after the magical animal..." "How is her husband?" "He'll be all right." "The wound wasn't as deep as it looked." "He took a pain killer and is sound asleep at home." "I see..." "Then..." "What... the hell... are you doing, Kurapika?" "!" "Unfortunately, I am no friend of a magical animal." "How did you find out that I was a fraud?" "Even if you were real, I would have done the same thing." "What?" "!" "I left the wounded person to Leorio." "And Leorio agreed to it." "If he shows up leaving a wounded person behind," "I would have done the same thing to him!" "Anyway, will you answer my question?" "Who are you really?" "It's not easy to find herbs." "Kid, you did great to catch-up with me." "What?" "It will cost you a lot for me to pay you back." "Pay me back?" "Yeah, get ready!" "Why don't you dodge me?" "'Cause I don't owe you anything." "Look, who are you?" "I'd better think it over about being so dutiful." "What?" "I'm in trouble... deep trouble... dealing with a magical animal like this." "I think I'm really in serious trouble." "Yes, my real figure is a magical animal." "But, how do you find it out?" "It's that tattoo." "That tattoo is carved when an ancient Sumi tribe woman swears to God to be his wife and to stay single for all her life." "Why would such a woman have a husband!" "?" "Damn!" "This bastard animal plans to slug me?" "I guess a magical animal is really wicked at heart." "Well, it shows on his face..." "That is...!" "So that's it..." "I'm beginning to see through the trick." "Hey!" "You, magical beast!" "So that wound was faked to trick us, wasn't it?" "It's so wretched that I treated you and didn't notice it!" "Wh-What are you talking about?" "Hey, you're that husband in that house, aren't you?" "!" "The needle mark in your right arm is solid proof!" "What?" "!" "Damn!" "The tide is turned." "I should say the game is over." "You are different from the person I was after." "So it sounds strange for you to pay me back." "If you interrupt me, I will take the challenge." "Why?" "How did you know I'm different?" "What?" "'Cause you look totally different." "Your voice sounds more high-pitched and sharper." "If I look carefully," "I can tell which leaves fell from which trees." "Compared to that, the difference between you two is much more obvious..." "You must have switched when you leapt from the waterfall pit." "Hey, honey!" "Come out!" "There's something we rarely see!" "It's been years since we found a person who can distinguish us." "How fun is that?" "Can you tell the difference between faces or voices?" "No... not at all." "By the way, Kurapika and I hit the husband." "So, tell me which is which." "You predicted the storm before." "This time, you were able to distinguish the magical animals..." "You have a peculiar talent." "Well now, as you've probably realized... we are the navigators." "I'm the daughter." "I'm the son." "Hello." "My daughter and my son were disguised as the married couple in that house under the lone cedar tree." "And as Mr. Kurapika pointed out, this tattoo is my proof that I am sworn to God, his wife." "Unless you are versed in ancient history, it's impossible to know this." "It takes not only broad knowledge, but keen eyes to spot it." "We are very much impressed by your keen perception in discovering that we are not a real married couple." "And Mr. Leorio." "Although you didn't realize that deceptive wound..." "Oh well..." "You treated the wound very efficiently." "And most of all, you encouraged me while I acted as though I was worried about my wife." "I am moved by your kind heart." "Say, cut it out." "It's embarrassing..." "Moreover, your insight in discovering my true identity from a faint needle mark." "It is worthy of praise." "You are that person, once in a decade... who can distinguish us." "Such perception and physical ability..." "Mr. Gon." "If I knew it, I would have hit you lighter." "I'm sorry." "All three of you have passed the test." "Well, we shall lead you to the Hunter Exam Hall." "I hate heights!" "Please don't drop me!" "Didn't you say you were a man with courage?" "Finally, we're able to take the real Hunter Exam." "I wonder what kind of people are there." "What kind of exam is waiting for us?" "Wow!" "These houses are all like castles!" "After finally reaching Zaban City, we search for the test site."

"But why do they take such risks to become Hunters?" "Did you really come to take the Exam without any knowledge?" "I don't know..." "Look." "A Hunter is..." "In this world... the most well-paid occupation!" "the most noble occupation!" "Not again, you goody-goody!" "You greedy bastard!" "Gon!" "Listen carefully!" "Only official Hunters are issued Hunter Licenses." "If you have one, you're permitted to go anywhere." "And you can use most public facilities free of charge." "If you become a Treasure Hunter of lost antiquities or a Contract Hunter for a rich patron, you can make fortune!" "You can have a great life!" "That's wrong!" "Gon!" "A Hunter's job is to keep the order between people and nature!" "Like a Heritage Hunter and a Rare Animal Hunter, it's part of a Hunter's job to protect a priceless cultural heritage or an endangered species or to capture notorious criminals!" "You must have a sound mind, a sound body, and strong discipline!" "Y-Yeah..." "What do you say, Gon?" "Which kind of Hunter do you aspire to?" "Well, it's hard to choose..." "The air is distinctively different!" "They're different from the Hunter applicants I've seen so far!" "They must be experts in something special!" "There are so many people!" "That's because with you, there are 405 of us." "Hi!" "I'm Tonpa!" "I'm Number 16 this year!" "This year?" "Nice to meet you!" "I'm Gon!" "These two are..." "Kurapika..." "Nice to meet you." "And Leorio." "Nice to meet you." "You're rookies, aren't you?" "Can you tell?" "Sort of..." "You know, I've taken the Hunter Exam 35 times." "35 times?" "!" "Yeah, it only means I'm an expert at taking the Exam..." "I can teach you anything if you have questions." "Thank you." "Ah... 35 times?" "Oh my..." "So, you are the famous Mr. Tonpa." "Who are you?" "Let me see..." "I don't think you know me." "I'm a rookie." "I'm Number 187." "Nicolas!" "Hello." "I'm Gon." "Let me see." "Ah, here it is, Mr. Tonpa." "Taking the Hunter Exam 35 times, is the second highest on record." "And you've made it to the main exam 30 times." "Absolutely the most ever!" "It is quite an achievement." "It only means that I made it but never passed." "You know, I flunk all the time." ""Flunk all the time," huh?" "I think that description suits you very well." "Excuse me." "What an annoying brat he is!" "Well, he got me there!" "What he said is right..." "It seems like this time, there are many unique characters!" "Take a look!" "Just between us..." "I'm a ninja." "It's true!" "I endure hard training every day." "{\fad(0,800)}H-Help me!" "You have to be careful." "If you bump into someone, you must apologize..." "Damn, that dangerous guy is here again." "Number 44, Hisoka the Magician." "Last year, everyone thought he was sure to pass the Exam." "But he was expelled after nearly killing a proctor he didn't like." "Not only that," "I heard there were more than 20 applicants who were disabled by him..." "I must warn you to stay away from Hisoka." "Can such a person be allowed to take the Exam again?" "Yeah." "For the Hunter Exam, proctors are changed every year." "The proctors decide the contents of the Exam." "If that proctor says pass, even a devil can pass the Exam." "That is the reality of the Hunter Exam!" "The call for applicants is now closed." "I announce the start of the Hunter Exam." "Finally!" "The Hunter Exam!" "I'm getting nervous!" "Please come this way!" "Let me remind you." "The Hunter Exam is extremely difficult." "And if you are unlucky or incapable, you may get injured or even die." "Help me!" "Only those of you who don't mind that risk should follow." "All right, the number of applicants taking Phase One is 404." "Is that correct?" "I shouldn't be surprised, but no one has left." "I was hoping some would." "Are we...?" "Did you realize it too?" "The pace is accelerating." "So this is what they came up with this year." "Huh?" "It seems the Hunter Exam is just beginning!" "I'm sorry to introduce myself now." "I am Satotz, the proctor of Phase One." "I'm leading you to the test site for Phase Two!" "Some of you may have realized... to keep up with me until we reach the Phase Two site..." "That is the task for Phase One." "30 minutes later" "How long have we been running?" "Well, I would say about 30 minutes at the most." "What a strange test!" "Nope, This is the ideal test to try one's endurance." "Not only that..." "Yeah." "Did you notice too?" "Notice what?" "We don't know how far or how long we must run." "But we must keep running as hard as we can." "The psychological pressure is quite big." "Besides sustaining physical strength, one's mental strength is being tested here." "I see." "Suits me fine." "I'll keep up with him all the way." "Say, Mr. Tonpa!" "Huh?" "Since you've participated 35 times, you must know many people around here." "Sort of!" "Please tell me!" "I bet they're all amazing people!" "Sure, I'll tell you." "Let's start with Number 103, Bourbon, the snake charmer." "Most of all, he is very vindictive." "Next is Number 76." "Cherry, the martial artist." "No one can surpass him in the martial arts!" "Number 255." "The wrestler Todo." "He is really strong and is smart too." "Numbers 197 to 199." "The Amori Brothers." "By combining their efforts, they always get high scores..." "And..." "Ah, there he is." "Number 384..." "Geretta, the huntsman." "He can hunt any creature with a blow pipe and a club." "He is very skilled!" "Well, those are the regulars I see." "Really." "They all sound so great." "So what?" "The question is whether one can pass or not." "Wow!" "That's so cool!" "Hey brat!" "You over there!" "That's unfair!" "Isn't that against the rule?" "!" "Hey, Who are you?" "How old are you?" "What is against the rule?" "This is an endurance test!" "That's not true." "The proctor just said to follow." "Hey you!" "Which one is your friend?" "Friend?" "Don't yell!" "You'll run out of stamina." "Besides, it's annoying!" "Basically, we can bring anything we like to the Exam." "He's obnoxious too!" "You're a new face, aren't you?" "I supposed you have many questions." "If you like, you can..." "What?" "You asked my name, didn't you?" "Yup." "But you don't have to answer if you don't want to." "I'm Gon." "I'm 12 years old." "Twelve years old..." "Aren't you using it anymore?" "Hey, old man." "How old are you?" "Huh?" "!" "I may not look like it, but I'm in my teens just like you!" "No way!" "Huh?" "You too, Gon?" "How rude!" "We are not friends anymore!" "I'd better keep my distance." "A fork..." "I wonder who he is." "He looks about my age." "I don't give a damn about who he is!" "Geez." "What an annoying brat he is!" "His eyes... he looks dangerous." "You think so?" "Forget about that." "Everyone is moving to the left." "What'll happen if we go right?" "It could just be a shortcut and make it easy for us." "Oh?" "What is this?" "It smells sweet." "It's coming from the right tunnel..." "It's true..." "I wonder what it is." "Three hours later" "We've come to a fork again." "It's been about three hours..." "I wonder how long we have to keep on running." "Again." "That sweet smell..." "It's coming from the right tunnel." "Yeah." "It smells like some kind of sap." "Are you all right?" "I can't believe this!" "How long have we been running?" "Why hasn't anyone dropped out yet?" "I underestimated the Hunter Exam." "No, I underestimated all the applicants here." "Even if they're just applicants they're all incredible specialists." "I've taken it too lightly." "One in ten thousand." "That's the probability of reaching the main Exam Hall." "One person in three years..." "That's the probability of a rookie passing." "Indeed, it's an occupation only for the chosen." "It's a fantasy beyond a dream for an ordinary guy like me..." "Leorio!" "Hey!" "Are you guys dumb?" "What?" "He's done." "That's not true!" "Besides, I can't leave him.." "He's a friend." "A friend?" "Yes." "A friend." "Damn it!" "I will be a Hunter, no matter what, damn it!" "Hey!" "Don't overdo it!" "Rest a bit!" "Shut up!" "If you're gonna waste time here, I'll leave you!" "Damn it!" "My legs won't move!" "It's not only for the money, is it?" "Shut up!" "Money!" "It's for money!" "There's no other reason!" "It's not the time to argue about that." "Mr. Tonpa, what should we do?" "!" "Oh yeah... that smell!" "Huh?" "At t he fork..." "The sweet smell coming from the right tunnel!" "Hey!" "You may able to recover your stamina!" "What did you say?" "What is this smell?" "I knew I'd smelled it somewhere before." "That must be the sap of the healing cedar tree..." "The healing cedar tree?" "Yeah... the sap is used by Hunters who become exhausted in the woods." "If you sniff that smell for a while, you can temporarily recover your stamina." "Wait a minute!" "What if it's a trap?" "Certainly that's possible." "But, you can't just leave him here, right?" "It's a gamble we have to take." "But..." "Flunking all the time..." "Do you know why I've flunked 35 times?" "It's because I'm such a silly, kind hearted person." "Mr. Tonpa..." "Don't worry." "When Leorio regains his strength, we'll catch up." "I'm sorry, Tonpa..." "Gon, Kurapika." "Don't mind about me." "Go ahead!" "Leorio... but." "Didn't you hear?" "I said go ahead!" "Don't worry." "I'll be with him." "I haven't participated 35 times for nothing." "I won't be such a fool as to fall into an easy trap." "Now." "Go quickly!" "I understand." "Please take care of Leorio." "This can't be happening..." "I'm failing?" "That's not possible..." "There is no one who can surpass me!" "In studying!" "In sports!" "I've always been at the top!" "I'm the best!" "I can't drop out." "Never!" "So this is where you stopped." "Now you know what it's like to fail, don't you?" "I'll help you." "Come with us!" "{\fad(0,1800)}Ah... ah..." "I'm..." "What are you doing?" "Aren't you going?" "Oh, I'm sorry we made you wait." "You can go ahead." "Aren't you going?" "Not until Leorio comes back..." "Kurapika, I'm going back to see how they are." "Although Mr. Tonpa told us not to worry," "I'm still anxious." "Let me go with you." "We can always catch up later." "We'll be back." "Then, I'll be happy if you tell me your name." "Because I don't know what to call you." "Well, see you later." "Just as I thought." "This smell is..." "Now... remain still here for a while." "If you do, you'll be certain... to drop out!" "What did you say?" "!" "What do you mean?" "Listen, I have a nickname." "I personally like it too." "Tonpa the Rookie Crusher." "Damn you, what's the big idea?" "Where the hell is this?" "!" "You'll find out very soon!" "So long!" "Damn!" "Hey!" "What happened?" "Hey!"

"As you can see, I died miserably." "My heart will never beat again." "My body is just a cold corpse." "Leorio..." "You are a doctor in training, aren't you?" "Please help me."

"Kurapika!" "What's happening?" "Stop." "Stop..." "Kurapika!" "Kurapika, hang on." "Leorio, I'm coming." "Why so scared?" "N-No, I'm not..." "You must have tricked them." "What?" "Don't kid with me..." "Let me tell you something good." "Those who use dirty tricks will someday die a dirty death." "I'm not lying." "Want to find out right now?" "At this very place?" "Damn kid!" "Are you up, Leorio?" "Yeah." "Pietro, I'm sorry." "I wanted to cure you, but I didn't have the money for your surgery." "Yeah, I know." "On top of that, for me to operate on you," "I had to be a real doctor." "For that I needed so much more money." "Damn it!" "If I had the money..." "If only I had money at that time!" "Yeah." "I'll become a Hunter and make lots of money..." "Then, I'll use that money to become a doctor..." "And I want to take care of all the sick people like you." "So..." "Kurapika!" "Kurapika..." "Kurapika..." "Kurapika!" "Gon..." "I'm glad you finally snapped out of it." "Umm..." "There's no such tree like "the healing cedar."" "What?" "!" "This is the sap of the Illusion Tree that assassins have been using for a long time." "It shows the illusion of the past that a person dreads most." "And destroys his mind..." "You're very knowledgeable." "Then Tonpa..." "He tricked you..." "We have to go!" "There is a way..." "To save that old man and catch up to the leaders in one shot." "A game that's too easy isn't fun." "I'm glad that we met again." "Will you tell me your name?" "Killua." "I can't go any further!" "Aww, too bad." "Bye-bye." "Killua..." "Killua, what shall we do?" "It's a bomb." "Quite a powerful one." "A bomb?" "!" "We'll blow up... this disgusting sap-covered wall!" "What?" "What... do I... have to do?" "What should I do?" "Tell me, Pietro." "You should die." "You should die and come to this world where I belong." "All the living will die some day." "It's only a matter of time." "You don't need to worry about it so much." "You are not the type to be a doctor." "Let's have fun together just like the old days, Leorio." "You and I are buddies, right?" "Don't leave me alone." "Don't let me feel lonely." "Leorio, why don't you come to this side?" "Pietro..." "Move away!" "I said move out of my way!" "You losers." "Leorio, what's the matter?" "I'm sorry..." "Pietro." "I can't go to your side..." "Why is that?" "It may just be a useless struggle." "It's not like I have the confidence to become a great doctor either..." "Still, I don't want to end my life without trying anything." "I want to cure the children who are suffering, just like you were." "And I want to tell their parents, "don't worry about money."" "For that purpose, I want to live and become a doctor!" "I'm sorry!" "Forgive me, Pietro." "Leorio." "Become one, Leorio." "Become a fine doctor..." "That sure was quick... but rough." "We can't turn back now." "O-Oww!" "Gon!" "Kurapika!" "P-Pietro?" "The smell of the sap in the wall made you hallucinate." "You were tricked by Tonpa." "A hallucination!" "I guess I was saved in the nick of time." "But it didn't affect you guys?" "I almost got into trouble..." "I was fine." "That trap wouldn't work on you, Gon!" "You don't seem to have any worries." "Hey, old man." "There's no time for chattering." "Old man?" "!" "Hey, you're...!" "His name is Killua." "Let's get going." "Click?" "Could that be... a bomb?" "!" "Hey, Tonpa the Rookie Crusher." "You did it again?" "It makes life worth living for me." "Oh." "I'm scared." "An earthquake?" "What was that?" "Are they digging a tunnel or something?" "What is going on?" "Sorry, we broke the wall." "I never said that you couldn't destroy the wall." "You came back alive after wandering into the Tunnel of Hallucination." "I'm very impressed." "N-No way..." "What's up with the rookies this year?" "How dare you!" "I will never forgive you!" "Stop it, Leorio." "Shut up!" "Gon, doesn't he piss you off?" "There are always obstacles in the test." "Thank you, Killua." "I didn't mean to help you." "Huh?" "I told you." "This is a game..." "Well, everyone." "We're about to make the last dash." "I'm going to pick up speed." "So that's how it was, you liar!" "I didn't lie." "My object is money, after all." "The past is the past." "Money is money." "I have a tendency to drop anything which won't bring me a profit." "I hope you can make it." "You don't need to wish it for me." "I am going to be a Hunter even if it kills me." "No." "I meant a doctor..." "Don't say such things with such an innocent look." "What if people think you swing the other way?" "All right." "Let's go!" "Are you all right, Leorio?" "Sure, as you can see." "If I don't care about how I look, I find I can still keep on going." "I'll keep running even if I have to run naked!" "I guess I can learn something from him." "The exit." "You look happy." "Killua, aren't you happy?" "Not really." "It's only an exit." "What a boring test it is!" "It's not even a game." "But if you pass, you can become a Hunter." "Why are you so eager about becoming a Hunter?" "My dad is a Hunter." "I bet he's a great Hunter." "You bet?" "Yup." "I was raised at my aunt's house." "I only know my dad from a photo." "But it's okay!" "I want to be a Hunter like my dad." "Say that thing..." "Will you let me use it sometime?" "No?" "If you let me use that fishing rod..." "Gon." "They're amazingly tough kids." "It seems like they will amuse me more." "Wow..." "It's the Milsy Wetlands." "Also known as the "Swindler's Swamp."" "We must go through this in order to reach the site of Phase Two."

"Stupid!" "I would've gone a long time ago if I could!" "But you have to do it somehow." "Well, I can't!" "No sense of suspense." "The fog has gotten so dense..." "Damn!" "As it is, I could lose sight of the person right in front of me!" "Certainly, it's dangerous to get lost..." "But it's more dangerous to run alongside that man..." "Should I run faster?" "I guess I can't leave him behind..." "H-How annoying!" "Don't touch it!" "This moth is!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "H-Hey, look!" "We're saved." "Help has arrived!" "Hey, wait!" "What was that sound?" "!" "Someone must have gotten tricked." "Hey, look." "No one's coming behind us." "Is this real?" "There were at least a hundred behind us!" "Help!" "I guess those of us at the rear have become totally separated." "How can you say that as if it's none of our business!" "My goodness!" "Kurapika, Leorio..." "Gon!" "You are not in any position to worry about others..." "Look at this fog." "If we lose him, we're out." "Yeah..." "Just pray that you don't hear your friends scream." "Aw, ouch!" "Damn you!" "Why did you do that?" "!" "I'm pretending to be the proctor." "I thought I should remain quiet until Phase Two, but I got too bored..." "I thought I'd help out the Exam Committee." "I will judge if you are eligible to be a Hunter or not." "Judge?" "!" "You stupid bastard." "Look at this fog." "Once you are separated from the others, it will be impossible to find the proctor who is running at the front!" "In other words, you've also failed... just like us!" "How rude of you." "Don't put me with you." "I'll tell you one thing as a farewell gift for your journey to hell." "Nothing is impossible for a magician." "Don't make me laugh!" "You have no right to become a Hunter!" "I'll teach you a lesson, so you'll never be fit to take the Exam again!" "Let me see." "I say one card... will take care all of you together." "Don't be so sure!" "Ladies and gentlemen!" "Hisoka the great magician of the century shall begin his miracle magic show." "Please enjoy it!" "Run!" "Damn!" "My weapons are in my bag!" "Leorio?" "!" "Gon!" "Damn, what a stupid kid!" "He's gone back to save the others." "Yeah, he's a stupid kid..." "They all fail." "Only the three of you remain." "Damn you!" "Shall I start... with you?" "When I give you a cue, disperse in different directions." "What?" "He's strong." "Every killer has a moment of hesitation when he is about to kill a person." "But he has none of that!" "Certainly, we have no chance of winning against him even if we attack simultaneously..." "How would you know without trying?" "I suppose you, too, have a strong motivation to become a Hunter." "I know you're not gonna like it, but this time you'd better run." "I see..." "It's a good decision." "As your reward, I will wait for ten seconds." "One, two, three... four, five, six... seven, eight, nine... ten." "Let me see..." "Who shall I play with?" "Oh my..." "I can't do it, after all." "Did you give up?" "Nope." "It's the opposite." "I am big enough of a man to keep on taking the beating without doing anything about it!" "Leorio?" "!" "Idiot!" "Damn!" "What a nice face." "That expression of anger and fighting spirit... clouded over with a momentary fear of death." "It gives me a rush." "However... it's over for you now." "Good-bye." "You are quite good, kid." "A fishing rod." "It's an interesting weapon..." "Will you let me see it?" "May I?" "Now..." "I'm your opponent!" "Did you come back to rescue your friend?" "You are a good kid." "Yup, you pass." "Oh dear, did you come back?" "How wonderful." "After all, it's nice to have friends, isn't it?" "Yup..." "I see." "I'll be right there." "Leorio!" "Don't worry." "I didn't kill him." "Because he also passed the test..." "What does that mean?" "!" "Hmm?" "Give Leorio back!" "If you want him back, catch up with me." "Gon!" "Are you all right?" "This way!" "Can you tell that clearly?" "Yup." "The cologne Leorio uses is very distinctive." "You're like a dog..." "Besides..." "Animals lie dead on the ground as if to guide us." "I suppose they were killed by Hisoka after they attacked." "But it doesn't necessarily mean Hisoka is heading towards a goal." "He is a devil." "He may have let us free in order to kill us later." "As if to enjoy the hunt." "Still, I can't leave Leorio!" "Sorry!" "Hisoka was saying that Leorio and I had passed the test." "Do you know what that means?" "He said he was "pretending to be a proctor."" "In other words, he was judging us." "Judging?" "But Hisoka only stared at me." "You gave him a blow before that, didn't you?" "Yup." "I did." "But Leorio was knocked out." "Still, he said he passed the test!" "Hisoka's movements are beyond human..." "He is a genius." "Especially in fighting, he far exceeds our skills." "Yeah." "The experienced fighter can ascertain the ability of another the moment he has physical contact." "Experience, skill, and all other things..." "Hisoka could have sensed such things and perceived the same scent as his in you and Leorio." "The same scent..." "Yes." "One who has the same scent." "He may have thought "it's a pity to kill right now."" "I'm sorry." "I've said something insensitive." "No." "Killua said the same thing." "He said he could distinguish people with similar scents." "Gon, you are not like Hisoka." "At least I don't think that man is fit to be a Hunter!" "I wonder..." "Gon?" "When Hisoka came close to me," "I was so scared that I wanted to run away, but couldn't even turn my back on him." "And at that moment, I thought, "This is it for me."" "I was at the point where I could be killed at any moment..." "And yet, I know it's strange... but I was a little bit excited." "Gon!" "It's about time..." "So, they didn't make it." "It's ironic." "He went in for a mummy and became one himself." "He went out to rescue his friend and missed the chance to pass." "Gon!" "It's over!" "Well done, everyone." "Here, the Visca Forest Reserve, will be the site for Phase Two!" "I guess somehow we made it in time." "Where are Leorio and Hisoka?" "Leorio!" "What happened?" "Umm... except the wound in his arm, he seems all right." "Ouch!" "Hey, check my face!" "You look the same as usual." "What looks the same?" "!" "Damn." "What is going on?" "!" "Don't you remember?" "Don't be rude to me!" "I do remember stepping into the marsh, and..." "I guess we'd better not tell him." "Yeah..." "Anyway, let me officially congratulate you." "All of you who are present have passed Phase One." "I wish you all luck on Phase Two." "I'm so glad!" "You did it." "Killua!" "What kind of magic did you use?" "I thought you would never make it." "What?" "You followed Leorio's scent?" "Yeah." "You really are very different." "Frankly speaking, you're a dog, aren't you?" "You think?" "148 persons have passed Phase One." "That is a greater catch than I expected." "Considering that, it makes me regret so much more... that Phase Two is by Menchi and Buhara." "The number could be reduced to 50." "Depending on the subject, we could end up with less than ten." "Perhaps I'll stay awhile and see how it goes." "It's about time." "I'm getting nervous." "Yeah." "We don't know what to expect." "There's no telling when we may be attacked..." "Yes!" "Phase Two is all about cooking!" "Actually, I have a special dish that I'm good at making." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Menchi x Furious x Second Phase?" "It'll be yummy! Did you hear it?"

"We don't know what to expect." "We don't know when we'll be attacked..." "Thank you for waiting." "How is it?" "Buhara, are you getting hungry now?" "As you can hear, I'm starving, Menchi." "We, the Gourmet Hunters, are in charge of evaluating Phase Two." "Gourmet Hunters?" "What is that?" "A Gourmet Hunter searches for all kinds of food throughout the world to create new cuisine." "Of course, Hunters themselves are excellent cooks as well." "That means the subject will be..." "Right!" "The subject for Phase Two is... cooking." "Cooking?" "!" "Cripes!" "Why the hell do I have to cook after reaching this far?" "!" "You over there!" "If you want to complain, go home." "Anyone else who has objections to the test can go home immediately." "It seems no one has any objections." "Anyway, what kind of food do we have to cook?" "First, you must cook a dish that I order." "And only those of you who pass will be allowed to cook what I order next." "In short, if both of us say the dish is "delicious,"" "you pass Phase Two." "That's not fair!" "Whether it's tasty or not depends on the person!" "If food that's delicious to us doesn't suit your taste, we'll fail, won't we?" "!" "Hey, hey, hey, hey." "Look." "As I said a minute ago, if you don't want to take the test, you're free to go home." "Go on, good-bye." "No kidding!" "How can I go back after coming this far!" "Yeah!" "You made a fuss about it and now you've made matters more complicated!" "How annoying." "If you're gonna complain, seriously, go home!" "Umm..." "Can you continue with what you were saying?" "In short, if you can make both of us say, "delicious," you pass." "The test will be over when we're both full." "Unlike the man, the woman doesn't look like she eats much." "So it'll eliminate a lot of people." "Damn!" "I've never cooked in my life." "I never expected this." "I have." "That's unexpected." "What can you cook?" "Many things." "But my specialty is a bowl of rice with a raw egg on top!" "R-Rice with egg?" "Uh, I guess that can be described as cooking, but..." "The cook doesn't matter much for such a dish." "That's not true." "Aunt Mito praised it." "Well, all right." "You can cook it for me some day." "For me, too..." "Well then..." "My order is..." "A whole roast pig!" "A whole roast pig?" "My favorite." "Using the most dangerous pig in the world living in this forest..." "The Great Stamp." "Great Stamp?" "Phase Two has begun." "The Great Stamp smashes the enemy with its hard snout." "If you fail to dodge it, you will become pig feed." "Leorio..." "The head!" "The head is its weakest point!" "I-lts head?" "Take this!" "Hey, this way." "I'm here!" "Way to go!" "I'm hungry..." "Here's your order." "Wow!" "Oh!" "What a big catch..." "I underestimated the applicants." "That really is a big catch..." "But the taste is what matters." "I wonder how many of them can satisfy Gourmet Hunter Buhara who has the most discriminating taste buds in the world?" "Mmm, good!" "How many can satisfy..." "This is good too!" "The one who has the most discriminating taste buds in the world..." "Mmm, this is good." "Even a burnt one like that..." "Delicious!" "Great!" "Is he really a Gourmet Hunter?" "Boy, did I eat!" "I'm stuffed." "It's over!" "Seventy whole roast pigs have been totally consumed!" "H-He's a monster..." "Hunters are really amazing!" "He's great in a way." "But I don't want to be like him." "That's strange." "I don't get it!" "Clearly the volume he ate is much more than his whole body." "Well, you don't have to take it so seriously..." "Say, are you going to say "delicious" to all the pigs you ate?" "That's not judging!" "Who cares?" "It worked out in reducing the number." "And besides, this test isn't to evaluate intricate flavor." "You're too easy." "Look, you're a Gourmet Hunter." "You have to be true to your calling." "Oh well, I guess I have no choice." "For roasting a whole pig!" "70 persons have passed!" "All right!" "Seventy contenders..." "That's a great number indeed." "That pig can be caught easily if struck hard on its forehead." "But hitting it right on that spot takes courage, decision-making skills, and physical ability." "However, the real problem is just beginning." "She's very tough." "Despite her young age, she earned the title of a Single Star Hunter as a supreme gourmet." "Gourmet Hunter Menchi!" "As one of the best chefs in the world, she creates elaborate dishes with her fine sense of taste." "To satisfy her deep curiosity, she tries all sorts of foods and she never forgets a flavor once she tastes it." "At the age of 21, she is a genius, a leader in the world of Gourmet Hunters!" "I'm not like Buhara." "I won't be easy!" "I will judge very harshly." "However, because she's a genius, she can be very whimsical." "If you're not careful, you may fall into a big hole." "The second half of Phase Two!" "I'm going to order..." "Sushi!" "Huh?" ""Sushi?"" ""Sushi?" What is "sushi?"" "What kind of dish is that?" "Do you know it?" "Nope..." "What am I supposed to do?" "I don't have a clue." "To make something totally unfamiliar is impossible..." "You guys look very troubled." "Well, I don't blame you for not knowing it." "It's the ethnic cuisine of a small island nation." "I will give you a hint!" "Take a good look inside here." "You cook the dish here." "The bare minimum of tools you'll need are provided." "I also prepared the rice which is essential for sushi." "And now, here is the most important hint!" "I'm ordering sushi, but it must be nigiri sushi!" "All right, you may start!" "When I'm full, the test will be over!" "Prepare as many as you like in the time allowed!" "Nigiri sushi..." "Nigiri sushi..." "Do we make it with only rice?" "Looking at the tools, it seems we need to use more than that." "This test is mine!" "What luck!" "I never thought a traditional dish from my country would be the test subject!" "But if I act too excited, I'll give away myself to the others." "So it's smarter to feign ignorance and pass this all alone." "Damn..." "He knows it!" "Nigiri..." "I kind of have an idea of what it looks like..." "But I have no clue about the other ingredients." "Nigiri sushi..." "I don't know the exact shape, but I think I've read about it somewhere." "For real?" "I believe it's "rice mixed with vinegar and seasonings served with fresh slices of fish."" "Fish?" "!" "But we're in the forest!" "You're so loud!" "You can find fish in the river or pond!" "It's fish!" "Damn!" "They were eavesdropping." "That's not fair!" "If you call that eavesdropping, I'd better stay silent." "Damn, someone other than me knew about it!" "Aren't you glad, Gon?" "Fishing is your specialty, right?" "Yup." "Menchi, you're so mean." "Sushi is usually made with saltwater fish, right?" "That's why it will be interesting." "I'm tired of ordinary sushi." "I'm very curious to see the peculiar things they'll come up with." "I'm here today more as a cook than a proctor." "I don't know if that's appropriate..." "What?" "N-Nothing..." "As a chef, huh?" "I hope she doesn't get into her bad habit..." "I'm confident!" "Add fresh fish to the rice and mold it..." "Like this!" "I've finished!" "I'm the first one to finish it!" "I call it the "Leorio Special!" Try it!" "Let me see..." "Like I'd eat that!" "Hey!" "You didn't have to throw it away like that, damn it!" "What did you say?" "!" "I can disqualify you." "Hurry back to your station!" "D-Damn!" "Listen up!" "The shape is important!" "If it isn't shaped like nigiri sushi, it's not even worth tasting!" "I had confidence in that." "All right." "Mine is next!" "It's no different from Number 403!" "I'm at the same level as Leorio." "I sympathize with you, Gon." "What did you say?" "Come on, bring them quickly!" "Nope!" "Not right!" "In a way, it's close!" "Next!" "No way!" "What is this "sushi" anyway?" "Not you either!" "I can't take my eyes off from this." "Do it over!" "Shrimp cocktail, marinated trout with mustard sauce and rice." "It's sushi in Bourgogne style." "That's gross!" "Next one." "Next!" "Damn." "Hey!" "I haven't tasted a single one!" "Are you going to starve me to death?" "Seriously..." "Everyone lacks focus!" "I've given them so many hints..." "Since I have no knowledge of the shape, I must analyze the available data here." "Prepare as many as you like." "The shape is important!" "From that comment and the name, "nigiri sushi,"" "I can assume that it must be a solid food with a regular shape like croquette or a hamburger..." "And the tool she's holding and the plate of seasonings placed in front of her..." "If she is to pick up a sushi with that tool and dip it into the sauce in the plate to eat it..." "The size is probably that of an egg or smaller!" "And if I add fresh fish to it..." "I got it!" "This must be it!" "You're at the same level as the first one!" "Is it so shocking to you?" "Aaargh!" "All of you!" "It's not even about observing or paying attention." "You guys have no style at all!" "This is so frustrating!" "It's about time for me to step up." "How's this?" "!" "This is sushi, isn't it?" "Finally something that looks decent." "Let me see..." "Nope." "It's not tasty!" "Do it again." "Wh-What did you say?" "!" "A nigiri sushi is rice pressed into a bite-sized rectangular piece with a dab of wasabi topped with sliced fish meat!" "It's a simple dish!" "No matter who makes it, it won't make much difference in taste!" "Oops..." "I see..." "So that's what it is." "D-Damn it." ""A simple dish?"" ""It won't make much difference?"" "Damn you, bastard!" "They say it takes at least ten years of training to be able to make a proper sushi!" "No matter how hard you amateurs try to copy the shape, the flavor is totally different!" "Idiot!" "Then don't pick such a thing as the test subject!" "Shut up!" "You got any complaints?" "!" "Want to die?" "Oh man, it's her bad habit again." "Once she loses her temper, she never compromises on flavor." "Only a handful of cooks in the world can satisfy Menchi." "Cooking takes soul." "Aw gee..." "Shouting made me hungrier." "Now then, the next challenger please." "Here, have mine!" "Try mine!" "Because of him, everybody now knows how to make it!" "I have no choice but to judge on taste alone." "Let me see." "Nope!" "You pressed the rice too hard and it won't break apart." "Menchi, that's a bit too strict." "You keep your mouth shut!" "The fish is cut all wrong!" "The shape of the rice is bad!" "Do it again!" "You worked too slowly." "The fish got warmed up by your body temperature!" "This is not good either!" "Do it again!" "No good!" "Sorry!" "I'm full." "Huh?" "!" "So what happens now?" "Well, just as I told you at the beginning..." "It means no one passed." "Come again!" "No kidding." "No way..." "There's no way I can accept this!" "What will happen to the Hunter Exam?" "I was confident too." "Can you administer the test once more?" "Huh?" "Furikake over rice?" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Failing x Panic x Heavenly Voice!" "Seconds, please! Did you hear it?"

"Cooking?" "!" "At the tender age of 21, she earned the Single Star Hunter title." "Menchi is a genius who leads the world of Gourmet Hunters." "She is a tough one." "Because she's a genius, she's very whimsical." "Be very careful that you don't fall into a big hole..." "The second half of Phase Two." "I am going to order... sushi!" "Not edible!" "Not edible!" "Not edible!" "Not edible!" "Not edible!" "You're all at the same level!" "Sorry!" "I'm full." "This can't be for real..." "Everybody fails?" "That's so stupid." "No way!" "The Exam is over?" "Like I said, it doesn't matter." "Just tell the committee what I said." "No way!" "The outcome is the outcome." "I'm not doing it over!" "Menchi always loses herself when it comes to food." "Buhara, you keep your mouth shut!" "She can't be serious." "I'm the one in charge of this test." "Any objections?" "!" "This is ridiculous!" "Yeah!" "We are disqualified because of a cooking test?" "!" "Who can accept such a stupid judgment?" "!" "Oh my, I guess there's going to be a big dispute." "Anyway, I will not change my mind!" "No one passed Phase Two in cooking." "Hold it." "Time out." "Give us a time out, okay?" "Hey, what are you doing!" "Give that back to me!" "I have to pass the Hunter Exam and meet my dad." "Oh, I'm sorry for you." "But look..." "The right to decide who passes or fails belongs to me, the proctor." "You got that, kid?" "That's why all you have to say is, "I will re-administer the test."" "No means no!" "This year's test is over!" "You guys too!" "Go home already." "I can't accept that." "I can't just say, "All right, I'll go home!"" "I've had enough complaining from this boy." "I don't need it from you." "What...?" "Look, why don't you try again next year?" "Don't give me that crap!" "I'm not aiming to become a cook or a gourmet, but a Hunter!" "Not only that, my goal is to become a Blacklist Hunter!" "And I refuse to be judged by a mere Gourmet Hunter!" "A mere Gourmet Hunter?" "That's right." "How can you call yourself a Hunter when all you do is eat fine food and lay back?" "What a laugh!" "That man is..." "Number 255." "The wrestler Todo." "I'll never acknowledge such a person as a Hunter." "And certainly not as a proctor!" "I bet the other guys here won't accept your judgment so meekly either." "Hold it, Buhara." "Stay out of my business, will you?" "I can settle this by breaking a few bones in his body." "But if you do it, you'll cook him, won't you?" "Cook...?" "I'm curious to see what you mean by "cook."" "Cripes!" "That's why I hate amateurs." "All right." "Number 255, I'll show you what being a Gourmet Hunter is really about." "The other applicants can watch too." "It'll be my farewell gift to you all." "Give me about an hour." "An hour?" "!" "Wow!" "She's so fast!" "She's out of sight already." "I wonder where she went." "The situation is taking an unexpected turn." "It makes me more curious to watch it." "What shall we do, sir?" "It seems she has turned off her cell phone..." "She can be quite stubborn." "She won't change her mind so easily." "But she's not being very objective." "The purpose of the test was to evaluate the observational skills and attentiveness through cooking." "It's too late to say that." "You know many Hunters are stubborn or eccentric." "With such people doing the evaluating, it's no wonder they make harsh judgments." "In fact, there are times when the committee agreed to fail everyone based on the proctor's recommendations." "However, in this case, I see a problem with Menchi's judgment." "It's quite fresh..." "I got it!" "Hey, isn't it almost been an hour?" "I'm back." "You said something about a farewell gift." "You're empty handed." "Where are you looking?" "See this?" "What the hell is that?" "It's moss!" "But it's not ordinary moss." "Hey kid, you have good eyes." "Moss, you said?" "That's..." "This isn't ordinary moss." "Minced very finely and sprinkled over rice..." "It's excellent." "Now try it." "Here..." "How dare you to expect me to eat moss!" "What an insult!" "It's not even funny!" "Then I'll try it." "Here I go!" "Don't do it, Gon!" "What if you get sick?" "!" "Gon can tell whether it's edible or not." "It's disgusting, isn't it?" "You can spit it out." "Is it delicious?" "Not really..." "Which is it?" "Is it good or bad?" "Make up your mind!" "I've never tasted anything like this before." "I can only say that it has an unusual flavor." "It's not surprising for a kid to be confused." "This was taken from the Big Horn Bear which is found only in the Lauru Mountains beyond the Milsy Wetlands..." "Only a few are known to be alive and this is their horn moss." "This is the rare delicacy that every gourmet in the world would drool over." "I guess it proves her capacity as a Single Star Hunter." "Hey, wait a minute." "She said she got it by going beyond that marsh where half of the applicants had dropped out?" "!" "Not only that, she made it within an hour without a scratch on her body." "She's quite good." "Do you have a better opinion of the Gourmet Hunter now?" "I need a few more bites before I can judge the flavor." "Don't you dare help yourself!" "Do you know how precious this is?" "!" "I don't care how precious that food is." "All I care about food is to fill my stomach." "A Gourmet Hunter who puts so much value in such a thing is just a frivolous person with the "Hunter" title." "You are hopelessly stupid." "What did you say?" "!" "We're not just going to accept your decision to flunk us either!" "I'm going to grab your necks and drag you to the Exam Committee to tell them that Gourmet Hunters are not qualified to be proctors!" "Do as you please." "Hold it there!" "Why you!" "Damn you!" "You are quite strong." "Maybe I'll be more serious." "Buhara, don't interfere." "Bring it on!" "You're aspring to become a Blacklist Hunter with that ability?" "Don't make me laugh!" "It doesn't matter what kind of Hunter you want to be." "If you are a Hunter, you must be skilled in fighting." "That's something that you'll learn as a Hunter, whether you like it or not!" "Miss Menchi, that's enough." "At this point, no one dares to doubt your ability as a proctor." "How should I put it?" "It's not my business to say anything about Phase Two, but..." "Then keep your mouth shut!" "No matter what anyone says," "I have no intention of changing the test results." "Look!" "What I looked for in this test was not simply physical strength!" "What I was testing in this Exam was whether you had guts to confront something unknown to you!" "Still, Miss Menchi..." "Don't you think it's too harsh that no one passed?" "What's that?" "Oh my..." "That's...!" "The emblem of the Hunter Association!" "That's the Exam Committee!" "M-Mr." "Chairman..." "For the chairman to show up in person is quite unusual." "Who is that old man?" "Menchi called him "Mr. Chairman," which means..." "He jumped from that height..." "That's amazing." "I'll say!" "What kind of bones does he have in his legs?" "It's been a while, Chairman Netero." "The chairman of the Exam Committee." "He's the most important person in charge of the Hunter Exam." "So he really is an important person." "No wonder..." "Well, I'm the chairman, but I stay behind the scenes and act as a troubleshooter at times like this." "Anyway, Miss Menchi..." "Y-Yes!" "Look, that Menchi is so nervous." "It proves how important that man is." "In other words, he is like a savior to us applicants." "You were trying to test their spirit by challenging them to something unknown through cooking in Phase Two?" "Exactly!" "That was my sole objective." "That's why I gave them a very difficult subject, but..." "But?" "Well, I..." "You have evaluated them with that objective in mind and you felt that every one of them had a problem with their attitude." "In other words, you concluded that no one was qualified to pass." "Is that so?" "No." "Some applicants made light of cooking and I lost my head." "On top of that, there was another trouble where all the applicants found out how to make the dish..." "So I not only got even more upset, I became too full and..." "In other words, you are fully aware that the applicants weren't tested thoroughly?" "Yes." "When it involves cooking, I tend to lose myself." "I am not fit to be a proctor." "I'm sorry." "You are an honest young woman." "Certainly, as a proctor, I see some problems." "But it's understandable, you being a Gourmet Hunter with the title of Single Star Hunter." "It's proof of your passion for cooking." "Mr. Chairman..." "Let me propose this." "We will administer another test." "And I want Miss Menchi to continue to be in charge of the evaluations." "However for this retest," "I want you to participate by giving a demonstration." "How about it?" "That will make it easier for them to accpet your judgement." "I was really worried about what was going to happen to us." "But we're still going to be tested by our cooking ability." "We can't take it too easy." "We're going to have another test." "Yeah." "Aren't you glad, Gon?" "Yup!" "That's the way it should be!" "Anyway..." "Yes?" "What is the subject for the test, Miss Proctor?" "Let me see..." "All right..." "The subject is... a boiled egg!" "Yippee!" "Gee, that's..." "A boiled egg." "Mr. Chairman, will you take us to that mountain?" "I see." "That can be arranged easily." "Now I'll do anything to pass the test." "Here we are." "Umm..." "Where the hell is this?" "What is it like down there?" "Don't worry." "There is a deep river down there." "Well, I'm going ahead." "She went down to get an egg of the Spider Eagle which lives in this Split Mountain." "The Spider Eagle hangs its eggs on its strong web to protect them from the land beasts living in the area." "Bring back one Spider Eagle's egg." "You are to make a boiled egg with this." "You have to be careful." "The river current below is very swift." "If you fall, you will be washed out straight to the sea kilometers away." "She says it as if it's easy, but no one in his right mind would jump." "I'm glad." "I was waiting for something like this." "It's so much simpler than running or cooking a strange ethnic dish." "I agree with you..." "I'm going ahead!" "Me too." "Here I go!" "How about the rest of you?" "Are you giving up?" "It also takes courage to quit." "There will be another Exam." "I'm going, too!" "I got it!" "What is it?" "!" "Spider Eagles!" "Help!" "Gon!" "Are you all right, Gon?" "Yup." "I'm all right!" "That boy is very different." "This is not the first time, but you're too reckless!" "I'm all right." "The hunt for the ingredient is over." "Show me the egg you've gotten." "Don't think ill of me." "But the egg is mine." "Damn that bastard!" "I can't let him have it." "Don't worry." "It's strange." "Here!" "Look." "Why you!" "When did you...?" "You're quite smart, kid." "Why did you go out to save Number 255 in the middle of the test?" "Because... he said "help!"" "What a straight answer." "You are so simple." "You did it, you!" "Take this!" "It's too early to celebrate." "The test is not over yet." "You are going to make the boiled egg as assigned." "Let me remind you." "A boiled egg is a fine dish too." "The boiling time is the most essential point." "You can't just boil a Spider Eagle egg for the same time as an ordinary egg." "I don't have to tell you what will happen if you overboil it." "Naturally, a half boiled egg means you fail, too..." "Isn't it about the time?" "Nope." "A little longer." "I don't even know the boiling time for an ordinary egg..." "Ohh!" "He just said "oh!"" "That means..." "Now's the time!" "The egg's ready!" "Hurry!" "It's gonna get overcooked!" "I got it!" "Cripes!" "That was so obvious." "This is an ordinary egg." "And, this is a Spider Eagle egg." "Taste them and compare them." "Delicious!" "Yeah." "It's no comparison to an ordinary egg." "I definitely prefer the Spider Eagle egg!" "It's very rich and creamy, and melts in my mouth." "It tastes as though the life force of the Spider Eagle is still there." "Yeah." "I've never tasted a boiled egg like this before!" "It's truly worth risking one's life to hunt for it." "I can tell the difference!" "Unlike the moldy rice." "It wasn't mold." "It was moss!" "The horn moss!" "I told you it was a rare delicacy!" "Mr. Todo, I'll give you half." "Y-Yeah." "D-Delicious." "It's really delicious...!" "I never imagined there could be anything so delicious in this world!" "When you discover something exquisite that no one else has tasted before... you experience overwhelming joy and emotion which is no less than the feeling you get when you capture a notorious criminal or discover a great treasure." "That's why we are proud of being Gourmet Hunters." "I'll come back again next year." "That's cool!" "Well, I'm supposed to be a genius Gourmet Hunter, you know." "And I must prove I'm a good proctor as well." "Well then, Chairman Netero..." "Yes." "Phase Two has 42 who passed!" "Menchi's menu is over!" "We did it!" "We were able to complete Phase Two successfully." "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Chairman." "It seems there are many prospective rookies this year." "It's so exciting." "Yes." "The Exam is just beginning." "I wonder how many of them will be left." "I can't take my eyes off of them." "Wow!" "I've never seen a night view from the sky!" "Let's go exploring!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Exploration x Guts x Stowaway!" "Killua, over there! Did you hear it?"

"All 42 of you here have passed Phase Two." "We are due to arrive at the next destination at 8:00 tomorrow morning." "You can just feel the tension in the air." "Everyone's got a nice determined look on them." "Chairman Netero, you must go back to the Hunter Committee." "You have a meeting..." "You can send someone else for that." "But..." "It can't be helped." "This was unexpected." "I'm afraid something may happen again, so I've decided to accompany them." "Mr. Chairman!" "Please think of your position as the Chairman and..." "Ahem!" "It's free time until the next meeting." "Dismissed." "We have free time!" "Yeah, Gon!" "Let's explore this airship." "Yup!" "Goodness me, it's so great to be where all the action is." "Kurapika, you're coming with us to explore the airship, aren't you?" "I'll pass." "I see..." "How about you, Leorio?" "I'll pass, too." "I don't have any energy left for that." "You two just go on ahead." "Okay!" "We're off." "Boy, they're tough..." "All I want is to sleep." "Same here." "It was really a long day..." "I'd better rest while I can..." "You'd better be careful." "You never know..." "This could be the test site for Phase Three." "They may not necessarily call us at 8 o'clock in the morning." "You could wake up to find that the exam was conducted while you slept." "If you want to pass the next test, you'd better not let your guard down." "Or not!" "Get all nervous and exhaust yourselves mentally and physically!" "Where should we start first?" "It should be the cockpit, of course." "The cockpit." "I see." "What's the matter, Killua?" "It's nothing." "See?" "Isn't it cool?" "But it says "Do Not Enter."" "That's why it's called exploring." "Let's go!" "Killua!" "The winds are calm and the visibility is good." "The thing I fear most on a night like this is getting sleepy." "If you're not busy, will you get me some tea?" "Why don't you make it yourself?" "It's only tea." "Don't be lazy." "But, if you'll let us pilot the ship, I'll make some tea for you." "Meany!" "You should lock the door if you don't want anyone to come in!" "We got scolded..." "C'mon, let's move on to the next place." "Say, what do you think?" "About this year's applicants?" "Yeah." "I know I failed all of them once, but don't you think we've got a nice batch?" "Some of them are giving out good auras." "Mr. Satotz, what do you think?" "Let me see..." "The rookies are quite good this year." "You think so, too?" "I think Number 294 was outshining others." "I don't mean because he's bald." "He was the only one who knew about sushi." "I definitely choose Number 99." "He smells different." "Besides, he has a talent." "I suppose he must had special training." "I bet he's very selfish and conceited." "I'm sure he's a blood type B personality." "You can never live with him!" "How about you, Buhara?" "Let me see." "He isn't a Killua... but the one who got my attention was Number 44, after all." "You probably noticed it too, Menchi, but from the time we appeared, he's been constantly exuding a cold, bloodlust aura." "It seemed he could barely hold it in." "Of course, I was aware of that." "That's the reason I was edgy." "He was constantly trying to pick a fight with me." "He acted the same way to me too." "To you too, Mr. Satotz?" "He's the same type of person as us." "But he chooses to live in a place that's much darker than ours." "We Hunters are always looking for good rivals." "For him, the Hunter Exam is probably the place for "kake-dameshi."" ""Kake-dameshi?"" "It's a term in karate, a martial art from the Far East." "It's the term used when a person dissatisfied with normal training... challenges any and all who look strong to hone his skills." "He is dangerous." "He would step on the accelerator without hesitation when even we would step on the brake." "He is a heretic among heretics." "There weren't many interesting places." "Yeah?" "I thought it was pretty fun." "Hey Killua, look!" "Look!" "Huh?" "Wow!" "Cool." "They're like jewels." "Gon, haven't you ever seen a night view before?" "Mr. Kiriko carried me in the sky at night the other day, but there weren't as many lights as this." "How about you, Killua?" "My family owns private jets." "So I've seen this countless times." "That annoys me a bit..." "We need them, since a whole mountain is our family property." "What?" "!" "And there are about 200 servants." "Your family must be really rich, Killua." "What do your parents do for a living?" "They're assassins." "Both of them?" "You're funny." "You're the first one to take it seriously." "But it's true, isn't it?" "How do you know?" "I guess I can sorta feel it." "That's strange..." "Most people can't tell when I'm being serious." "And that was supposed to be what's appealing about me." "Appealing?" "Everyone is a professional assassin in my family." "They'll kill anyone they're paid to kill." "It seems like they see a great potential in me, so..." "I've undergone special training to kill since I was a little kid." "But I don't want to live my life the way someone else has laid out for me." "When I told them " I'll decide what to do with my life myself,"" "my parents and brothers freaked out." "My mother even tearfully lectured about how much potential I have as an assassin." "Aren't they awful?" "Most kids would go astray." "Anyway, we wound up fighting." "I nearly killed my mother and my brother, and ran away." "I bet they're frantically searching for me now." "Well, if they show up, I'll just beat them up." "When I become a Hunter, I'll catch everyone in my family." "I bet I can trade them for a good price." "Killua, you're amazing." "What?" "Killua, you are amazing." "I never thought about surpassing my dad." "I see." "I guess capturing my dad would mean surpassing him." "I know you can do it." "You don't sound very convincing." "You don't even know my dad." "But he is your dad, right?" "I can sorta tell how he is." "Again with your "sorta" thing." "You know, that's not gonna work in the real world." "Why?" "It's not a big deal." "Forget it." "Let's go have some tea." "Killua?" "!" "Damn..." "Killua!" "What's the matter?" "Killua?" "It's nothing." "Well, let's go have some lava tea." "The presence I sensed a moment ago... that wasn't Hisoka." "It was something different." "More annoying." "Was it a grudge?" "Does that mean there's someone here who has a grudge against me?" "Killua." "You've been acting funny." "Not really..." "Hey..." "I wonder how many more tests we have to take." "I don't know." "Are you... mad?" "It has nothing to do with you." "May I sit there?" "What?" "You're missing someone?" "Yes, the number of disqualified applicants at the Split Mountain is..." "Yes." "Will you please check it there, too?" "I got it." "Damn." "At this stage..." "What's the matter?" "A disqualified person seems to have snuck into this airship." "You mean a stowaway?" "If Mr. Chairman finds out about this screw up, we'll be..." "If I find it out what?" "Mr. Chairman...!" "My, my." "I sure don't get bored this year." "So your name is Ms. Anita?" "I'm Gon." "This is Killua." "I am..." "I am aiming to become a Blacklist Hunter." "Do you have anyone in particular you want to capture?" "I want revenge." "I want to avenge my father who was murdered..." "My father was a trader who managed a spice mine." "He organized a fleet, and exported spice rocks from the spice mine to the world." "At the best of times, he was making a profit big enough to buy a small country." "Wow, that's amazing." "However, there was someone who envied his success." "And the rival trader hired an assassin." "I didn't even have to investigate." "The name of the assassin was from... the Zoldyck family." "The notorious family of assassins." "The family of assassins...?" "I see." "I see." "How difficult and sad it must be!" "I understand how you feel." "Let's become Hunters together and make your dream come true." "By the way, I am Leorio." "What is your name?" "She's Ms. Anita." "Anita..." "It's a nice name." "How about it?" "Instead of talking to these kids, why don't we move over there, so that we grown-ups can talk about our dreams?" "We can't do that." "Leave me alone!" "I can't." "My name is Kurapika." "I'm also aiming to become a Blacklist Hunter." "So I can relate to your situation." "I wouldn't get too deeply involved if I were you." "She has some business with me." "I heard a rumor that a family member of the Zoldyck family was going to be taking the Hunter Exam this year." "Then Killua is..." "Bingo." "No doubt about it, I am a member of the Zoldyck family!" "So you applied for the Hunter Exam for the opportunity to get revenge?" "That's right." "You'd better remember this." "Having an assassin sent means that the person was really hated by others." "I can never forgive you!" "That's it!" "Don't stop her, nosy old geezer." "Certainly a dispute between candidates is not a matter of concern for proctors." "However, Applicant Number 111 failed the test that was readministered in Phase Two." "No matter what the circumstance, you have no chance of winning against one who has qualified." "She should've known that she would be caught right away even if she snuck in." "If I had flunked the test, I might have done the same thing." "It's not logic, something like this..." "It's not logic, huh?" "Hey Killua!" "Killu..." "Damn!" "What do you want?" "Now you know." "I'm the kind of person who makes enemies." "But Killua..." "You didn't kill him, did you?" "What makes you think so?" "I guess I can sorta feel it." "Aunt Mito told me, "if you want to know someone, know what makes them angry."" "I want to know more about you, Killua." "Leave me alone." "But..." "Just leave me alone..." "Go away!" "Killua..." "I told you to go away!" "Suit yourself!" "Okay!" "It's itchy..." "It's itchy..." "My butt's itchy!" "I heard it from Anita." "That you're a member of an assassin family." "So what?" "Don't get so irritated." "You're the one picking a fight with me!" "What'll happen to Ms. Anita?" "It's none of your business, is it?" "Don't say that." "Tell me." "Well, I'm sure she'll be punished severely." "It's possible she may never be eligible to apply for a Hunter Exam again." "Do you care?" "Can you not do that?" "You say it so casually, but..." "Well, all right." "But on the condition that you win a bet against me." "A bet...?" "Well, it's really a simple game." "Before we reach the next destination, if you can get this ball from me, you win." "Then I will drop the charge against that girl." "No thanks!" "Why would I do that for her?" "Fine with me!" "I don't want pity from a member of killers either!" "Geez!" "This is a game." "Can't you take it more casually?" "Or could it be that you don't have the confidence to beat me?" "What did you say?" "!" "All right." "I'll offer you an extra reward..." "If you win, I will give you a Hunter License." "What?" "!" "I-Is that okay?" "I am the chairman." "If I say so, that's it." "That's so irresponsible." "You can attack me any way you want." "I won't fight back." "Is it really all right with you?" "Okay, okay." "Then I'll start." "Is he really old as he looks?" "What speed!" "Well then, first I'll stop his movement." "Ouch!" "That was an awfully good kick with nothing held back." "If it were the leg of an ordinary person, it would have been shattered." "This old geezer's legs are like steel." "What's the matter?" "Are you giving up already?" "Damn..." "He's making a fool of me!" "Watch this..." "H-He disappeared..." "Hmm..." "Erasing your existence as if to dissolve into darkness." "That is the basic of the basics for an assassin." "Th-This is Killua's true ability..." "Behind me!" "I got it!" "Mr. Netero isn't normal." "Hey, are you quitting, Killua?" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Good Boy?" "X Bad Boy?" "X Killua!" "Killua's normal." "Did you hear it?" "kiitanone" "The voices of the wind sighing across the land daichi wo soyogu kaze no koe" "It wakens a distant memory tool kioku yobisamasu" "Why lies beyong the clouds that drift by?"

"He's the one who killed my father..." "Young lady, don't try to do anything stupid." "This is a game between us." "Stay out of it." "Hey, old man!" "This is a pretty fun game." "I'm getting eager to do it." "Shoot!" "He did it." "I got you!" "Oww!" "That's against the rules!" "You said you wouldn't attack." "That was a pass." "Your face just happened to be in the way." "Gon, let's switch!" "Be careful." "That old man is quite shrewd." "Okay." "I got it." "I'll try." "Here I go!" "That was quite a sprint." "But you need ten more years of training to challenge me head on!" "Above?" "Oww!" "I get it that you can jump really high, but you'd better control it, Gon!" "The old man was off his guard too!" "Indeed!" "I couldn't tell from his face, but he's using his brain." "Oops, I failed." "I guess both of you are quite good." "I'd better turn it up a notch." "Why are you doing this?" "If you are doing it to atone for your crime, stop it." "Doing this won't make me..." "It's nothing like that." "I'm just testing my ability." "What I'm after is neither the ball nor that old man." "It's to surpass my dad." "Oh?" "Are you exhausted already?" "You're not as fit as a young man should be." "Gon!" "Let's switch." "Take a break." "It's no good." "I can't even touch the ball." "It's not over yet." "This is just the beginning." "It's round two, old man!" "Come on!" "What's the matter?" "Here!" "This isn't getting us anywhere." "Why don't you two attack together to save some time?" "Gon!" "Come!" "Coming!" "Don't be tricked by the ball's movement." "If you concentrate too much on it, he'll figure out your next move." "I see!" "I thought I was chasing the ball, but I was fooled by its movement." "{\fad(0,100)}If I change the rhythm of the dribble..." "Their movements have suddenly improved." "Good going, Gon!" "Go around him more!" "Yup!" "I won't be fooled." "He killed my father." "He's a cold blooded person who'd kill anyone for money!" "Both of you have good expressions." "You have the look of a Hunter chasing its prey." "He's great." "Even Killua is soaked in sweat, yet Mr. Netero isn't even breathing hard." "I don't think we can catch him even though we're attacking together." "We're no match for him if we attack him head on!" "Shall we take a break?" "Not yet!" "I can dodge this kick!" "That's not fair." "You increased your range!" "Here's my chance!" "Not yet!" "That was close." "How cheeky!" "We got it!" "That was close." "I must say, you two deserve a "nice try" award." "Wow..." "That was amazing, wasn't it?" "Killu" "Oh no..." "Killua?" "I-I give up." "Oh, that's no fun." "What do you want to do?" "Your partner is gone." "Do you want to give up now?" "Nope, I want to continue!" "I was very close just now, and we still have time." "More importantly, I'll feel guilty for Ms. Anita if I give up right now." "You have no chance!" "What?" "Chairman Netero barely used his right hand and his left leg." "The way it's going, you don't have a chance even if you go after the ball for a year." "What?" "!" "Oh, you noticed?" "I thought I was hiding it pretty well." "Now, do you get it?" "Forget about me." "And just give it up." "Nope!" "I told you, you have no chance!" "You can never ever take the ball away from him!" "Yeah, you may be right." "But it's too early to give up." "In the remaining time, I'll make Mr. Netero use his right hand." "Suit yourself..." "I'm going back to my cell." "Is that okay?" "Fine." "Oh my." "With the two main people gone, it's like putting the cart in front of the horses." "Hey, Mr. Netero." "What is it?" "Killua disappeared earlier." "How did he do that?" "That's a specialty of those in the underground business." "You do not need to know that." "Actually, it's something you shouldn't know." "But it's still a great skill, isn't it?" "Yes." "It's something you have to train very hard to master." "I see..." "Killua is awesome!" "Nice try." "Pretending to have given up..." "You're a tricky one, aren't you?" "If I had continued, I would've gotten too serious about it... that I'd want to take the ball even if I had to kill." "Of course." "That's how I was raised." "I am a son of the Zoldyck family." "I was born to kill." "Like I told him, I didn't ask for it." "Is that right?" "He wasn't surprised when I told him that I was a killer." "In fact, he told me that he wanted to know more about me..." "Hey hey, don't make me laugh." "Do you think anyone would want to shake hands with me?" "With someone who smells of death?" "Shut up!" "You keep mumbling to yourself..." "It's annoying, kid!" "What will you do if..." "I fail Phase Three tomorrow because of lack of sleep?" "!" "Don't worry." "You can't make it to Phase Three." "Wait a minute." "My shoes are..." "I'm sorry." "Let me have my knife back." "I'm really sorry." "You..." "I thought you went to sleep." "That's my line!" "Are you worried about that stowaway?" "Don't be silly!" "I just came to give my opinion to the proctor." "That maybe there's a chance for extenuation." "I agree." "Hello?" "Ms. Proctor?" "Hello?" "You have some nerve, don't you?" "To make a pass at a proctor in the middle of the night!" "Y-You've got it wrong!" "You peeped, so how can you claim I've got it wrong?" "!" "At least I'm innocent of that charge." "I would never do such a disgraceful thing!" "Damn you!" "Are you trying to get away by yourself?" "!" "No excuses!" "You've finally revealed your true nature." "You are the devil that killed my father!" "Yeah, I'm a professional killer." "That's my true identity." "He can't even pass out because of the pain." "He will most likely be suffering from the encroaching terror of death." "I'm going to kill you." "To avenge my father's death!" "Prepare to die!" "Terror and despair to those who wish for death." "Look, my handsome face is ruined." "I don't think it looks that much different..." "How dare you!" "Why?" "!" "How come you didn't get anything?" "My appearance... may be..." "Damn you!" "Hey, look..." "Gon..." "Gon!" "What a tough kid." "From the above, again?" "You are serious now, eh, kid?" "Here I go again!" "Coward!" "Why don't you show yourself?" "!" "The psychological stress of not knowing where your enemy is... will wear you out the most." "I can kill her..." "Just as easy as cutting the throat of a rabbit." "Death... give her an absolute death..." "Gon!" "Gon!" "Go!" "You can't get me with the same trick!" "Now!" "He pretends he's after the ball, but his real aim is... my belly!" "Oww!" "Damn!" "What..." "He's still at it?" "!" "What is the matter?" "Why didn't you kill me?" "Look!" "He's still fighting for you." "So what?" "If I kill you, he'll be mad." "No..." "If he hits my iron belly with his head again, his head will be smashed." "But if I relax my muscles, I'll be the one in pain." "I'll just run away!" "Gon!" "Oh no!" "N-No...!" "It's mine!" "Not so fast!" "That was close." "You just used your right hand and your left leg, didn't you?" "Huh?" "Er... yes." "I did it!" "I won!" "That wasn't the objective..." "Gon..." "Killua, did you see that?" "I made Mr. Netero use both his hands and legs!" "You..." "What was Gon doing?" "I don't know... but there's one thing I can say for sure." "Gon is satisfied." "That's for sure." "My my..." "Captain, what is the flight status?" "I see." "I'm sorry to say this when everything is on schedule, but would you mind flying just a little bit slower?" "The clouds are beautiful." "Huh?" "You were watching the clouds, weren't you?" "Y-Yes..." "It's nice to live long." "Thank you for waiting." "We're about to reach our destination." "Umm..." "Chairman Netero said he wouldn't press the charge against me." "Thank you." "It's all thanks to you." "It's nothing..." "That's good news." "That's..." "You dropped it..." "It was a gift from my father." "That's a crystal of the spice rock, isn't it?" "The spice rock?" "The refined spice rock can be addictive..." "Once you taste it, you become addicted to it." "I heard many people lost everything in order to buy the spice." "That's not true." "That's a lie!" "It's true." "You didn't know?" "My father was very kind..." "And there were always smiling faces around him!" "Your happiness was built upon the misfortune of others..." "Still, my father was precious to me." "Hey..." "Why don't you try taking the Hunter Exam again next year?" "So you can become a real Blacklist Hunter." "Killua..." "What is it?" "You didn't tell her that you weren't the one who killed her father, huh?" "It was probably done by one of my brothers or my mom..." "Either way, it was done by a member of the Zoldyck family." "But... then..." "That's the family business." "I'm used to people holding grudges against me." "You must be tired." "This Trick Tower is going to be the test site for Phase Three."

"I wonder if it means the obstacles are that hard..." "I'm sure it's more difficult than Phase Two." "We must not let our guard down." "The Exam begins." "What are we going to do?" "There are no windows on the sides." "Yeah, only the wall." "Climbing down here would be suicide." "Yes, if you're an ordinary man." "But if you're a skilled rock climber, it's not difficult to climb down with this much footholds." "Wow!" "Great!" "He's gone down that far already." "Just watching him makes my butt feel weird." "Look!" "I guess I'll be the first one to pass Phase Three." "I guess we shouldn't clmb down the outer wall." "There should be a door that leads down to the lower level." "I guess everyone has the same idea." "If we don't want to fall behind the others, we'd better spread out to find the door." "Yeah..." "There are fewer people now." "What?" "!" "5, 10, 15... 20." "Twenty-three people!" "When did they..." "Close to half of us must have found the door and gone down..." "It's hard to imagine that all of them took the same door..." "It's reasonable to assume that many hidden doors exist here." "Leorio, Kurapika!" "Did you find it?" "Good job, Gon!" "Chief, I see there are two kids..." "Yeah." "You think they got lucky?" "The Hunter Exam isn't that easy." "All right." "I'll open it." "Here!" "Wh What the?" "!" "It seems like it has a self lock function." "Then, this door is already..." "We have to find other doors." "Damn!" "One door per person, and it's only good once." "Also, we should assume that each door leads to a different route." "This isn't the time to calmly analyze the situation!" "We don't even know if there are enough doors for all of us!" "There are." "There are?" "You mean doors?" "Yup." "I found six doors." "More than enough for us." "Bingo." "Everyone, get in posititon." "Right." "For every hour they stall applicants, one year will be deducted from their prison terms." "They couldn't have asked for a better opportunity." "They should be grateful to me for this." "Here, here... and three more over here." "Five doors located so close to each other..." "There's something fishy about it..." "Some of them might be traps." "So luck is part of your skill, huh?" "Don't hold it against anyone even if you fall into a trap." "That's right." "Then, let's decide the order of picking a door." "Paper, rock, scissor..." "Let's all jump in on the count of three." "We'll be apart from each other from here." "See you on the ground." "Yeah." "Okay." "Let's go." "One, two, three!" "That was a brief separation." "Indeed..." "There's no exit in this room, either." "More hidden doors?" "There's something." ""The Path of the Majority Rules."" ""The five of you must find your way to the goal... by using 'Majority Rules.'"" ""Majority Rules?"" "These are timers." "It has buttons with a circle and an X." "Does that mean, unless we get another person down here, we can't get out of this room?" "That's correct." "There are many routes in this tower." "Each route has different requirements." "You guys got "The Path of the Majority Rules."" "It's a tough course in which you must cooperate with each other." "I wish you all good luck." "The remaining time is 71 hours and 18 minutes..." "We just have to wait." "It's been two hours." "Maybe everyone has taken a different route down already." "The ones still remaining on top must reallly be stupid." "It seems that stupid one has arrived." "Y-You!" "Mr. Tonpa." "Looks like everyone is here." "I don't want to do this "Majority Rules" thing with you!" "This will do." "All right!" "Let's go." "Don't "all right" us when you got here last." "Acting like you're in charge..." "This is your first choice." "Press the button with the circle if you want to open that door, or the button with the X if you don't want to." ""Majority Rules" already?" "The choice is obvious." "{\fad(0,300)}Open this door?" "{\fad(0,300)}Yes" "{\fad(0,300)}No" "Huh?" "Who the hell chose the X?" "Ah, sorry." "I'm sorry." "I pressed it by mistake." "Hey, don't kid around!" "How can you mistake a circle from an X?" "That's why I said sorry." "I'm asking how you could've made such a mistake!" "Forget about it." "Let's go." "The door opened anyway." "No." "It's not okay." "He pressed the X button on purpose!" "We've wasted two hours already." "I don't want to waste any more time quarreling." "That's right." "Even if he keeps objecting all the way, we'll be fine as long as the rest of us are cooperating, right?" "And if he still gets in our way, then..." "Well, all right." "Let's get going." "But if you do it again, I'll punch you!" "Again?" "Which way?" "Right" "Left" "If you want to go right, press the circle." "To the left, press the X." "Okay, okay." "To the right?" "Usually in cases like this, people choose left, don't they?" "Actually, I don't feel comfortable unless I choose left in a situation like this." "It's true that according to behavioral studies, when people are lost or when selecting an unknown route, more often than not, they tend to go left." "I've heard of that, too." "Hey, wait a minute!" "The numbers don't add up." "Which one did you guys press?" "Right." "Look, guys." "People are likely to choose left, that's why we chose right." "A proctor should know that, and would make a more difficult trap on the left path." "Exactly what he said." "We're simple minded all right." "Right, Gon?" "So I am at the same level as Leorio..." "Wh-What the hell is this?" "!" "Look." "Chief Lippo, the applicants are here." "Take these things off." "We've been hired to test you applicants!" "You must fight the five of us here." "That man looks tough..." "That's why I wanted to go to left." "The left path might have been more difficult." "The fight is one-on-one!" "You can fight only once!" "You can pick your turns." "You can pass by winning the majority of matches, meaning three or more wins." "You can fight anyway you want." "There will be no draws!" "When one side admits defeat, the other side is deemed the winner!" "Decide if you will take on this challenge or not by voting." "If yes, press the circle." "If no, press the X." "Here goes the voting again!" "What a waste of time!" "In order for us to pass the test, we must fight." "Of course, everyone will press the circle." "Unless someone tries to mess it up." "Yeah, yeah, I know." "How about it?" "We all agree!" "All right." "The first one from our side will be me!" "Who will be fighting from your side?" "What should we do?" "Who goes first?" "The set up is complete." "The remaining time is 69 hours..." "They've already reduced three years from their prison terms..." "Well, let's just watch." "I will go." "No, I should go." "What?" "!" "He seems like the type to fight with brute strength." "If you fight him straight on, you'll be at a disadvantage, Gon." "Hey, wait a minute." "If Gon is at a disadvantage, than you can't do it either..." "But I have my weapon." "Your weapon?" "If he takes it, you'll go down!" "Then are you going, Leorio?" "Geez, look at those muscles!" "If you're scared, I'll go." "Killua!" "Then it's decided." "Wait!" "I'll go." "You've got to be joking!" "A petty scoundrel like you is no match against him." "I don't think so." "What?" "!" "There is no restriction on the means of fighting." "In other words, anything goes." "You just don't know what they'll do." "You can't assume that he'll stick to his physical strength just because he looks tough." "In short, the most important element right now is not physical strength, but experience and your hunch which enables you to respond to any situation." "I volunteer myself to be test subject to see how our enemy fights." "Let me have this chance to atone for all the things I've done." "Please!" "How do you expect us to trust you after everything?" "!" "That's exactly why I'm offering myself to be the first one to fight." "I know all of you don't fully trust me, right?" "Not at all!" "Well, listen!" "Up ahead, we may face a situation in which the score is tied." "If you don't trust me, can you risk letting me fight the tiebreaker?" "Why don't you let him do it?" "I see his point." "Th-Then it's decided." "You offered yourself to be the first one to fight, so you better not lose!" "Just watch." "I'm going first." "Okay." "Well, let's decide the way of the match." "I suggest a death match." "That's the worst that can happen." "What are we going to do, Kurapika?" "!" "This is not good." "We thought it out too much." "But Mr. Tonpa looked very confident." "I bet he has a great plan." "You can find it out by watching." "We keep fighting until one admits defeat or one is killed..." "How about it?" "Look, he isn't responding." "That's more convenient for prisoners, isn't it?" "Indeed." "All of them have over 100 years of prison terms." "Yes." "They are all felons." "Their prison terms won't get shorter unless they do something like this." "Bendot was convicted for robbery and murder and is sentenced to 199 years in prison." "He must be very thrilled." "He can offically kill and reduce his prison term." "What's the matter?" "Are we doing a death match or not?" "If you take time here, you'll just waste your teammates' time, too." "But our prison terms will get shorter..." "I'm grateful for that." "All right, I accept your challenge." "Tonpa..." "Mr. Tonpa." "I commend you on your decision..." "Now..." "Let's fight!" "Run, Mr. Tonpa!" "I surrender!" "Did he just say "I surrender?"" "You have to be kidding..." "Maybe he said "time out."" "Wh-What... did you say?" "I surrender." "I surrender." "I'm defeated." "That's a totally unexpected way of attacking." "What a laugh!" "We can just assume how the rest is going to be if the first one is like that." "Oh well, I'm sorry." "Damn you!" "What was that?" "!" "Now I'm convinced!" "You're a helpless jerk who only gets in others' way." "If we win two more fights, you'll lose." "You can't go ahead or go back." "You'll have to spend the rest of your time here until the time limit." "In order for us to win, we must win three out of four fights." "You got us, old man." "Yeah, I'm a coward." "That's how I've always been." "And that's how I'll always remain." "What did you say?" "That's how I have survived!" "Look, listen to me carefully." "Unlike you guys, I have no intention... of becoming a Hunter." "What I want from the Hunter Exam is not to pass... but to get some excitement..." "I stay close to the veterans and watch what they do to hone my ability to sense danger." "That way I can ensure my safety." "With my own life safe and secure," "I get to watch the ultimate show of death..." "A scene of hell where the dreams of young people are devoured." "The expression on the face the moment one's ambition or hope is dashed eternally." "Gradually, watching such moments became very amusing for me." "And I began playing active roles in dashing the dreams of newbies." "I found this far more exciting in life than becoming a Hunter." "As for this year's Exam, it's about time for me to withdraw." "From Phase Three, the number of applicants decreases and the risk becomes greater." "I'm not gonna push myself anymore." "In other words, I'm at the point where I don't care if I fail." "However, this is "The Path of the Majority Rules."" "If the four of you work hard, you can keep on going with 4 to 1 odds." "It's not so bad after all, is it?" "That's awful." "Damn you!" "Don't forget this!" "I'm going to take you down to the bottom of this tower." "And I will beat the hell out of you." "Man, you're just like a computer bug." "And I hate games that have bugs." "H-Hey look." "If you do that, you'll be disqualified immediately...!" "I don't care." "I've got it!" "That's right." "Mr. Tonpa is right." "We can keep on going if we maintain 4 against 1 odds." "We can, without having to fight among ourselves." "Right, Kurapika?" "Isn't that right?" "Yes, but..." "You're more simple minded than I am." "Thank Gon, old man." "It looks like they're ready." "Sedokan, you're next." "Chief, the lock." "They're sending their second person." "What do we do?" "Me!" "I'll go!" "Are you really sure?" "I'm all right." "Leave it to me." "We can win!" "Don't worry!" "Now, the second match." "Let's begin!" "I'm up next." "He looks pretty weak so don't worry." "Next on Hunter x Hunter:" "Candles x Policy x Dispute!"

"You have to spend the rest of your time here until the time limit!" "Sedokan, you're next." "Who'll go from our side?" "Me!" "I'll go!" "We can win!" "Will you be all right, Gon?" "Yeah. 'Cuz he looks like an ordinary person." "He doesn't look scary at all." "He's not the muscular type, that's for sure." "But he looks creepy." "My plan got screwed up." "I was going to take my time and hurt him." "But he's more of a coward than I expected and I couldn't buy time." "Oh well, that's no problem." "We just have to win two more fights, right?" "Then all of us will be granted amnesty and 72 hours will be deducted from our prison terms, right?" "Amnesty, eh?" "That won't do me any good." "It's a piece of cake." "There are still two kids left." "Convicts sentenced to super long terms?" "!" "Yes." "It seems that they are felons who've been sentenced to more than 100 years in prison." "If they manage to keep us in this Trick Tower," "I suppose their sentences will be reduced by the length of time that they were able to keep us here." "Leorio, fighting among ourselves is exactly what they want." "What great proctors we have!" "Trying to detain us here so they can reduce their sentences." "So that means you made the right decision." "That bald guy was probably in the military or he was a mercenary." "If you had fought this guy, he would've gone for the throat first so that you couldn't say, "I surrender."" "Probably." "And he would've tortured you without killing you..." "For all the remaining time." "That makes sense." "Oh naturally, I took all that into account." "What's the matter?" "You're so pale." "But, it's strange." "That man should also be a felon." "But I don't sense any violent aura from him." "I feel a different kind of dangerous aura from him, though." "Even though they are serving super long sentences, there are many types..." "Say, how are we going to fight?" "The method of fighting is open, isn't it?" "Then may I suggest something?" "Sure." "As you can see, I don't have much confidence in my physical ability." "I'm not good at hitting or jumping around." "I prefer something like that." "I'm not good at using my head." "I prefer something simple." "Then I think you'll like this game..." "They're not dynamite, just candles." "We'll light them both at the same time." "Whoever's candle goes out first loses." "What do you think?" "That's very easy!" "I'll go for that game!" "Okay." "Then..." "Choose which candle you like." "If you choose the long one, press the circle." "If you pick the short one, press the X." "Use the "Majority Rules" to decide." "It's a trap!" "Under ordinary circumstances, it's natural to pick the longer candle." "Yes, in an ordinary situation..." "I'll bet there's a trap set in the longer one!" "Certainly, it's normal to think that way..." "On the contrary, there could be a trap set in the shorter one." "But, if you start thinking about it..." "Yes, it's endless." "We're faced with a Disparate Choice." "A Disparate Choice?" "When you're faced with two choices with clearly different conditions, it raises suspicions, and you inevitably start to second guess yourself." "On top of that, the psychological impact of making a wrong choice is a lot worse than in a situation where the two choices appear even." "You can take your time to decide." "We have lots of time, you know..." "You have to use the "Majority Rules,"" "but you're quite free to discuss it." "Hey, which one should we choose?" "Kurapika, which one?" "I think..." "Gon!" "You decide." "What...?" "We'll abide by your decision." "Let's go with your natural instincts rather than talk among ourselves." "I agree." "I can decide?" "Yes!" "I got it." "Then I pick the longer one." "Did he..." "You pick the longer one, right?" "Because the longer one will last longer, of course." "So much for the natural instincts." "Well..." "We can't help it." "We won't be able to figure out which one is a trap just by talking, anyway..." "Okay..." "The longer one is yours." "The shorter one is mine." "Now..." "Let's light it up at the same time." "Start the game!" "Oops..." "That was close." "There's a strong wind coming from down there." "That means he can't move around much or look away from the candle." "How long do you think it would normally take for a candle like that to burn out?" "I'd say five or six hours at most." "This is gonna take a while." "Wh What the hell is that candle?" "!" "I bet he mixed gun powder or something into the wax!" "Look!" "There was a trap set in the longer one!" "Hey, this is!" "You're wrong." "I prepared four candles!" "The Disparate Choice was just a distraction from the real trick." "You just assumed one of the two candles was a trap." "Faced with making a decision under such an obviously unfair condition, you never thought that both were traps." "The truth is, no matter which one you chose," "I was going to give you a trick candle either way." "H-Hot!" "Hot!" "It's getting short so quickly!" "The way it's burning, it'll only last two to three minutes!" "Hot!" "This is something you'd expect from a serial bomber." "Oww!" "Hot...!" "Hot!" "Mine is shorter now!" "We're in trouble!" "Do we just have to wait like this until he loses?" "!" "It won't last another minute..." "Hot... hot!" "Hot!" "Hot!" "Don't hold a grudge against me." "You were just a fool for falling for the trap." "It's burning so strong..." "That means it won't be put out so easily, right?" "I win!" "Oh, he's got a nice spring." "All right!" "We have one win, too!" "Good job, Gon!" "We did it!" "We won, we won!" "Kurapika and I will win..." "And we can advance!" "Don't forget that I'm still here..." "You screwed up!" "It's because you resorted to a lame trick with your tools!" "Well, next is my turn..." "All right." "I'I go." "Wow..." "What a macho man!" "I've killed 19 people..." "But I don't like the odd number of "19"." "And it was bugging me." "So I'm glad the 20th person has showed up." "Damn!" "Now here comes a serial killer." "I only get excited in life or death situations." "I only take on serious games." "Give me blood!" "Guts!" "And the look on your face agonizing in pain!" "All right." "Decide the rules of the match." "I will follow it." "Oh..." "You've got a lot of nerve." "Then let's have a death match in which we fight until one of us either admits defeat or dies." "However... don't think I'll stop beating you just because you decide to admit defeat halfway through the match." "All right." "That's fine." "Is he stupid...?" "Or is he an idiot who lacks the ability to imagine how fierce I am?" "Let's begin." "Ah..." "Yeah!" "Fine with me!" "Well, I've got just the thing up my sleeve for guys like this... in my right arm and on my back..." "Hey, will Kurapika be all right?" "He looks quite dangerous..." "What do you think, Killua?" "What do I think?" "He's trying to act cool..." "But the moment that this smart bastard trembles in fear of death..." "Watching this closely will be especially exciting." "Hey, Kurapika." "Get ahead of him by attacking first!" "A straight attack will put you at a disadvantage." "Take a good look!" "And see how fierce I am." "He broke the floor with his bare hand!" "Hey, Kurapika!" "Pull back!" "Get away!" "A spider with 12 legs?" "!" "That's..." "Leorio, what is that?" "It's proof that he's a member of the Phantom Troupe." "The ones that massacred Kurapika's comrades?" "Yeah, the notorious group of killers, the Phantom Troupe, that Kurapika seeks revenge against." "To think that he's part of the Troupe." "I have steel implanted in my body..." "The power of this fist that can even shatter rocks... and the tattoo of the Phantom Troupe." "Nobody dares to fight me after seeing them both." "What's the matter?" "Are you too stunned to speak?" "I am one of the Four Devas of the Phantom Troupe." "They call me Majitani, the Destroyer!" "The first blow was just a courtesy." "The next won't be the same..." "However, if you admit your defeat, I might just change my mind." "Has he become stiff with fear?" "Kurapika is angry..." "What's with you?" "!" "H-Hey!" "Didn't you hear me?" "If you admit your defeat..." "S-Stop!" "Or, I will give you another..." "Oh yeah..." "I can only throw one punch a day 'cuz it hurts." "Okay!" "I..." "Three things..." "One:" "The proof that one belongs to the Phantom Troupe is the member's number carved into the spider." "Two:" "They don't bother to keep count of the number of people they've killed." "Three:" "Don't ever speak of the Phantom Troupe again." "Or I will kill you." "What's with those red eyes...?" "The Scarlet Eyes." "It's the same as that time..." "Are you all right?" "Yes." "I'm not injured." "Actually, is it all right for us to be around you right now?" "I knew that he wasn't much of a fighter just by looking at him." "Really?" "His look is intimidating enough for anybody." "Right, Gon?" "Not really." "I didn't even get any chills when I looked at him." "It was so obvious from the start that he was bluffing and didn't even have the guts to hit anyone." "What?" "!" "I knew his tattoo was fake..." "But the moment I saw the spider, everything turned red..." "To tell you the truth... even when I see an ordinary spider, my rage builds and I become a different person." "Oh my..." "I suppose that just proves that my anger has yet to fade away." "In that sense, I should be glad about it." "We better not let Kurapika see any spiders." "Yeah." "What a worthless guy." "We weren't expecting anything from him anyways." "All he can do is bluff people, using that face he got from a cosmetic surgery screw up." "I'm surprised to see a member of the Kurta here." "It was too much for someone who specializes in fraud." "All right!" "I'll finish this!" "Hey!" "Get him out of the way and bring on the next one!" "We can't do that." "Huh?" "!" "It's not over yet." "What does that mean?" "He only fainted." "This is a death match!" "The deal was that they fight until one admits defeat or is killed." "He's still alive, and he hasn't surrendered." "Talk about splitting hairs." "Hey, Kurapika." "Go finish that bluff guy off." "The match is over for me." "What?" "!" "The game is over." "But!" "When I was out there," "I allowed myself to attack an opponent who had already lost the will to fight." "I refuse to do more damage to someone who has already lost." "Then what are you going to do?" "I'll leave it to him." "When he regains consciousness, he'll choose his own fate." "I have no intention of taking any action!" "Hey, do you want me to do it?" "You've never killed a person, have you?" "Are you scared?" "I've never thought about killing in terms of being scared or not." "Besides, this is a one-on-one match." "There's no need to interfere." "I see." "But you are surprisingly selfish." "That's for sure!" "Anyway, we have to work as a team so think about the others!" "I'm sorry." "But I don't intend to change my mind." "All right." "The "Majority Rules" then!" "Press the circle to finish the match!" "If not, press the X!" "Ready, set..." "Huh?" "How come it's not showing up?" "Probably because we're doing it ourselves." "All right!" "Then let's decide by a show of hands." "Who wants the guy finished off?" "Me!" "Hey, you two!" "What the hell does that mean?" "Because it's pointless." "He said he had no intention of changing his mind." "Look, Kurapika is trying to become a Hunter in order to destroy the Phantom Troupe!" "Then he must make every effort to pass the Hunter Exam!" "I am making an effort." "But if I can't do something, I can't." "Just hit him again like you just did and make him admit his defeat!" "It's impossible, Leorio..." "What?" "!" "Kurapika's anger is directed at the Phantom Troupe, not that man." "He isn't a member of the Phantom Troupe." "Like I said..." "I won't do anything I don't want to do, even if it causes a fight." "That's my policy." "I think you two are alike." "It's not good to force people." "What?" "!" "People have their own reasons and beliefs." "Shut up!" "I don't want to hear it from you!" "Damn!" "Fine!" "I don't give a damn anymore." "Suit yourself." "He's sulking..." "Just leave him alone." "You moron..." "He's fallen right into the trap of the "Majority Rules."" "Reaching a decision by voting seems very convenient and efficient..." "But it's a sweet, yet dangerous trap!" "Hey." "Shut up!" "There are two things you must not do... in reaching a decision by voting." "Discussing and a show of hands." "Anonymity will be lost." "And those in the minority will be revealed to everyone." "And for those in the minority, feelings of alienation, dissatisfaction and anger arise!" "This will lead to conflicts and distrust within the groups, and the group will fall apart eventually." "A breakdown at this stage means failure for all five of us." "A breakdown is only a matter of time..." "What?" "The next challenge is a bet?" "I wonder if Leorio is strong?" "Next on Hunter x Hunter:" "Fleeting x Life x Majitani!" "Thirty points for Leorio! Did you hear it?"

"Help me, Mommy..." "Get him out of the way and bring on the next one!" "We can't do that." "It's a death match!" "He isn't dead yet." "Nor has he declared his defeat!" "Hey, Kurapika." "Finish the match with that guy." "I refuse." "What...?" "!" "The match is over for me." "I have no intention of taking any more action!" "Fine!" "Suit yourself." "Hey..." "Shut up!" "It's only a matter of time before the breakdown begins..." "I've been waiting..." "Hisoka..." "Who are you?" "You mean you don't remember me?" "Damn you..." "I didn't come here this year to pass the Exam." "I came here to bring you down!" "Ah... that." "That man could already... be dead." "What?" "Dead?" "Leorio?" "I'm not an old man, but I'm not a kid either." "I don't plan to stir up the group simply because of how I feel... unlike a certain old man." "Hey!" "Let me check if that man is still alive or already dead!" "Could be he's dead and won't wake up again." "Like I said earlier, he's just unconscious." "It's been a few hours." "It's hard to take just your word for it." "Then how about we make a bet?" "Let's bet if Majitani is still alive or not." "Make a bet?" "With what?" "Time..." "Since last year's Exam, all I've thought about is how I'm going to kill you, and I've trained myself for that!" "Really?" "Considering that, you haven't made much progress!" "The two blade style?" "I see." "Now you're going to pay for giving me these scars!" "All Direction Four Blade Style." "Take this, Hisoka!" "Above, below, left, right, front, and back..." "Various blades will cut you from all angles." "It's impossible to dodge... this endless attack." "Groan and squirm in pain!" "Feel the same humiliation I felt last year!" "Die, Hisoka!" "It does seem hard to dodge..." "So I just need to stop them." "It took me six months to be able to catch those blades." "Oh, it's easier than I thought." "You bastard..." "What kind of monster are you?" "!" "That's rude." "I'm only a magician." "All your efforts for nothing..." "What do you mean "time?"" "We'll use time as chips to place the bet." "Look at the monitor." "The minimum unit of time for betting is ten hours." "But if you're confident, you can bet as much as you want." "We continue to bet until one side runs out of chips, that is, time." "We'll take turns choosing the topic we're going to bet on." "Right now, you have 59 hours of time remaining." "In other words, if your betting time becomes zero, your time limit to escape from the tower will lessen by 50 hours." "And you will have nine hours remaining." "If our betting time becomes zero, 50 years will be added to my serving time." "If you accept this challenge, I'll let you check whether Majitani has died or not." "How about that?" "Leorio, you'd better think very carefully." "If you lose, the time we have to escape from the tower will be reduced to nine hours." "Who are you to tell me about that?" "!" "This was your fault to begin with!" "If you want to complain, why don't you finish the match?" "!" "I can't do that." "I don't intend to take any action." "You stubborn little...!" "All right." "Then I won't say anything." "Let's stop fighting among ourselves." "I can understand Kurapika's feeling, too." "Gon!" "Whose side are you on?" "I'm on our side." "Geez..." "What a group." "Damn you!" "Don't!" "Leorio." "You know, once a group begins to break up, it goes fast." "Maybe the chance of surviving would've been higher if I had gone alone." "Too easy!" "Number 44 Hisoka." "The first one to pass Phase Three." "How long did he take?" "12 hours and 17 minutes..." "What a man!" "This is the Hunter Exam." "There are monsters like him among them." "Hey, stop it!" "This is what they want." "You know the time is running out." "That's true." "What are you going to do?" "Do we take it or not?" "Why don't you decide already?" "Fine." "All right." "I accept your challenge." "Okay." "The first bet is going to be on my topic, so you decide how many hours you want to bet." "I bet ten hours that he's still alive!" "Huh?" "Didn't you suspect that he was already dead?" "You're quite cautious, aren't you?" "You bet I am." "Even if I lose this bet, if I can confirm his death, then Kurapika wins the match." "But if I bet that he's already dead, and he turns out to be just unconscious, we'd lose on both counts." "Okay, let's confirm it then." "Let me check him first." "He has a pulse." "I told you." "He's just unconscious." "He has a pulse!" "Good!" "Leorio took the lead first." "He gained only two hours." "That doesn't mean much." "This is not good..." "What?" "What do you mean by "not good?"" "That man may lie unconscious forever..." "What!" "Possibly..." "What?" "Why?" "When that man approached the lying man a minute ago..." "At that time, I thought he was dead." "But rather... instead of him being dead..." "Yes." "For them, it's better that he is alive and unconscious..." "I see." "If he stays unconscious for the remainder of the time, they can shorten 72 years from their sentences." "How pathetic." "Being screwed by an unconscious opponent." "This could be the end for you guys, huh?" "Shut up, old man..." "If you don't shut up, I'm gonna tear your throat out." "What did you say?" "!" "Fine." "Try me." "Stop it." "Like Gon said, fighting is what they want us to do." "I see..." "He certainly isn't dead." "Now then, it's your turn next." "Decide what you want to bet on." "Let's bet if he's really unconscious or not." "What...?" "Hi." "What did you say?" "Don't make me repeat myself." "We're going to bet whether this man is really unconscious or not." "Hey, what am I supposed to do?" "!" "I lost consciousness from the pain and when I began to come to..." "Bendot whispered into my ear piece." "Majitani..." "Majitani..." "Wake up, Majitani." "Don't move..." "Majitani, listen to me and lie still." "The transmitters Sedokan made came in handy." "Majitani, keep pretending you're unconscious and lie there." "If you buy time by faking being unconscious, we'll be able to get 72 years deducted from our prison terms without doing anything." "What now?" "What should I do?" "Leorio..." "A topic is decided." "Hurry up and place your bet." "Remember, we're using our precious time as chips." "All right." "Of course, I'll bet that he's really unconscious." "Twenty hours." "All right, I got it." "I'll keep pretending that I'm unconscious." "But how are you going to check him?" "There's a very easy way to find out." "Damn, he's heavy." "I'm going to drop him... from here." "If he's really unconscious, he'll fall down and die." "Are you insane?" "He hasn't finished the previous match." "How can I agree to such a method?" "!" "Don't worry." "If he falls and dies," "Kurapika loses the match for breaking the rules." "Then, you'll have two wins total." "You have no objections to this, do you?" "Finally, the exit." "Making me go through all the trouble..." "At least I'm the first one..." "I don't have any luck..." "Playing cards..." "What do I do?" "If I keep pretending to be unconscious, my life will be..." "No, wait a minute." "I doubt he can kill a person so easily." "He's just bluffing." "I'll bet he doesn't have guts to do it..." "H-He's smiling!" "Just like the other guy, they have nerves of steel!" "I'll be killed." "Killed in a flash, like a bug!" "Bendot, don't you dare agree to this!" "It's becoming quite interesting." "It's so boring just to wait around." "You'll give us a win in exchange for your life." "If you embarrass yourself and return to our side," "I'll have him kill you." "So keep that in mind." "What the hell..." "I can't believe these people!" "What do they take my life for?" "!" "You guys are so slow." "You're taking so much time, my arms are getting numb." "I'll let him go." "Hold it!" "All right." "I'll agree to your condition." "No way." "But I want to make a change." "I'll bet all 40 hours on him that he wakes up!" "Showing your true colors, eh?" "Oh well, I have no choice." "I'll let him go." "Wait." "Don't let go of me!" "I'm up!" "I'm conscious." "Fine, I admit my defeat." "To hell with the amnesty." "It's much safer to be in prison." "Geez!" "Yay!" "Leorio, you're great!" "Now we have two wins!" "It came with a price, though." "He didn't have to bluff like that." "When the other side bet 20 hours, he could've broken the faker's arm." "That would've woken up the guy and we would've been in the lead right now." "Like Kurapika, Leorio won't hurt a defenseless person." "After all, his goal is to become a doctor." "Besides, if we win one more time, we'll advance anyway." "We can manage it." "I'm standing by, too." "I guess this is okay." "Kurapika..." "I've dealt with the aftermath of your pride." "Leorio..." "Tonpa!" "Sorry, but we're gonna make it to the bottom of this tower." "Even if I have to drag you." "You got that?" "!" "How did you know?" "I'm aiming to become a doctor." "I can tell whether you're unconscious or not by checking the eye movement." "Your remaining chips are twenty." "You won't make it to the ground." "But the match itself is two to one." "We only need one more win." "This is where I show my real strength." "Who's up next?" "The third one from our side is me!" "Come on." "Get started already!" "We have only 20 hours left!" "A girl?" "A girl?" "A woman?" "Well, I'll be..." "A young girl." "Don't be surprised." "This betting thing is interesting." "Let's continue doing it." "This time, you against me." "I wonder what they're going to bet on next." "Huh?" "Leorio looks happy." "Next on Hunter x Hunter:" "Rock x Scissors x Heart!" "Do you like dangerous women? Did you hear it?"

"All right, it's your turn to choose what we're gonna bet on." "So what's it gonna be?" "Well, Doctor..." "I have an idea." "I would like for you to bet on whether I am a man or a woman." "What the...?" "!" "A doctor who kills without a scalpel, Leroute the Insane Psychologist." "This is gonna be fun to watch." "That pretty face of hers has driven countless many of her patients to commit suicide." "She's a big shot with a 112 year sentence on her." "Is that bet even valid?" "She's a woman no matter how you look at it!" "No." "There's a case where looks alone might not be enough to judge." "There's all kind of guys here." "She can't be a transvestite, can she?" "What are you gonna do?" "Are you going to take the bet or not?" "I will take the bet all right, but..." "Suppose I get the wrong answer..." "How are we supposed to verify it?" "You can give my body a thorough examination until you are satisfied." "Well, Doctor?" "I know Leorio..." "He'll bet that she's a he." "Yep." "Huh?" "Why?" "All right!" "Ten hours says you're a man!" "As I thought." "He's such a pervert!" "I don't get it." "How did you guys know he'd bet that way?" "!" "It's quite simple." "It definitely looks like she's a woman." "But there is the possibility that she's a man who's trying to deceive us." "But if I say she's a man, even if I were wrong," "I still get to examine her as long as I want." "Whether I get it right or wrong, I can't lose here!" "The truth is..." "I hope I'm wrong!" "That's how it is." "Is..." "Is that so?" "Eh?" "Why do you think she'd do this?" "She's horrible." "She read Leorio's mind, and decided to toy with him." "Okay, what's the answer?" "!" "I'm sorry, you lose." "I am a woman." "Wh-What?" "!" "I don't believe it!" "How phony can you get?" "You sure you're a woman?" "Need... proof..." "Would you like to examine me?" "O-Of course!" "I do have the responsibility for the ten hours we lost." "Wait a sec!" "What's going on here?" "!" "No!" "The monitor went offline!" "Quick, fix it!" "That was definitely worth the loss!" "What's happening?" "!" "I can't see!" "Mr. Tonpa!" "This is so stupid." "We are going to lose this one." "From the start, Leorio has been placing his bets with the least possible risk in mind." "In gambling, those who focus on what'll happen if he loses would never win in a million years." "You say that like it's someone else's problem, but if we lose this next bet, we'll have no time left at all." "Not only that, but we'll be tied with the other team at two points each... and have 50 hours less to get out of here." "Yeah." "We are still at the very beginning of this tower after all." "We were only given 72 hours to make it through." "We can't afford to lose fifty right now." "If we do, we'll have less than ten left." "Leorio!" "Right, this is not the time to be fooling around." "Doctor Leorio?" "Now it's your turn to decide what the next wager will be." "Well, doctor?" "Knock it off with all that "doctor" stuff!" "We're getting into it now..." "Come on, hurry up already!" "There's that smile of hers... it gives me the creeps." "She digs out the opponent's secrets through conversation while he has his guard down." "Then she will corner him to the edge mentally." "Observing this man has proved quite illuminating." "He values his friendships and seems to take pride in being part of the team." "Which means those are his weaknesses." "Because he knows this at the corner of his mind, it has made him much more susceptible to bets that didn't involve them." "Since I'm a woman, it makes it even easier for me to get around his usual defenses." "I've only got ten hours left to wager." "I can't afford to lose any more." "But I can't come up with a sure win wager so quickly!" "He's really having a hard time." "Psh, it didn't take him that long to decide whether she was a man or a woman." "What's wrong?" "It's your turn, doctor." "Can't you come up with something?" "I'm getting tired of waiting." "J-Just give me a second, okay?" "This isn't as easy as it seems, you know?" "Really?" "An intelligent doctor like you should be able to think of something." "Shut up!" "Would you stop calling me doctor already!" "I'm not a doctor!" "Maybe I should make a bet whether I'm a man or woman..." "Nah, that'll never work, it's too obvious." "Oh!" "That would work a lot better with Kurapika..." "W-Why is he looking at me like that?" "How long are you planning to make me wait?" "It's not all that complicated." "Just make it something about yourself." "Or could it be... that you don't even understand yourself very well, is that it?" "What's that?" "It's difficult to tell which one of us is the doctor here." "Alright..." "Then I'll give you a diagnosis of yourself." "I understand you quite well..." "Leorio." "There's something weird about her." "Even though you act tough, you're really a nice guy with a strong sense of justice." "But you seem to hold an enormous trauma deep inside your heart." "Were you, perhaps, responsible for the death of a patient who was in your care?" "It looks like I hit the nail on the head." "Who was it that died on your watch?" "A close friend, maybe?" "That's it." "It was your friend." "A friend of yours died and it was all your fault." "You're wrong!" "That was not my fault!" "Leorio!" "She must be some kind of an expert at psychological warfare." "This won't be good." "I'm just getting started." "I'll make a game out of that friendship you care about so much." "I only wish you really were one of my patients." "Then I could take the time to torment you properly." "I could even make you cut your own wrist or hang yourself." "Damn it!" "Your dead friend is laughing at you, Leorio." "You've wasted ten hours of your team's time just to check if I'm a man or a woman!" "Everyone in your group is going to fail the Hunter Exam, all because of you." "Stop it!" "You are about to make the same terrible mistake again." "Just like when your friend died because of you." "Look into the eyes of your friends!" "They're disappointed in you just like your dead friend must've been when you couldn't help him." "It's all your fault!" "You're the one to blame... aren't you, Leorio!" "No!" "Stop it!" "He's completely under her control now!" "Leorio!" "Just calm down!" "We all believe in you!" "Yeah, that's right!" "If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have won the last round, remember?" "!" "It seems nothing we say reaches him in his current state." "Leorio!" "Leorio!" "He's like a little mouse that's been caught in a trap." "So then..." "What's it gonna be..." "Leorio?" "Uh, it's gonna be..." "That hurt!" "Get back in the game, Leorio!" "You hafta make her bet on something!" "Uh... make her bet?" "Oh!" "Yeah, right!" "Oww!" "Gon..." "I think you may have hit him in a wrong place." "No good." "I still can't think of anything!" "Well, guess I'll let luck decide." "Rock-paper-scissors!" "What?" "!" "We'll bet on who'll win a game of rock-paper-scissors!" "Rock-paper-scissors..." "Well, he's obviously lost the ability to think clearly." "All right then." "Rock-paper-scissors, huh?" "I'm gonna bet all our time on my win." "You're betting it all?" "You don't have a problem with that, do you?" "We can wager as much time as we want." "All you've got to lose is ten hours anyway." "So you should just relax." "If I lose all ten hours this round is over." "Aw, man!" "Why do I always focus on the worst case scenario?" "!" "This one bet could turn the whole thing around for us!" "Wait a second..." "She seems really confident in her ability with rock-paper-scissors." "Leorio has just as much of a chance of winning as she does with rock-paper-scissors, right?" "Don't count on it." "Rock-paper-scissors is a game of probability and psychology." "Really, psychology?" "That has something to do with rock-paper-scissors?" "If you just consider the laws of probability, your chances of losing are one in three." "And the other two thirds of the time, you'll either win or force a draw." "Which means, in an ordinary game your chances of not losing are close to seventy percent." "But those odds apply to both of them, don't they?" "That's right." "However..." "This is really bad!" "Against her Leorio is at a distinct disadvantage!" "All right..." "It's time to begin." "Rock, paper..." "Just statistically speaking, the throw most players resort to first is usually..." "Scissors!" "Scissors." "Which means your best chance of emerging from the first throw with a win or a draw is to open with rock." "Then!" "Leorio must have known about that too!" "Yes, but the problem is... from the next throw it becomes much more of a mental game." "A mental game..." "I wonder what she's gonna throw next?" "!" "She threw rock first." "So now she's gonna try to psyche me out..." "But she knows that I know that..." "She's gotta be thinking how she can stay one step ahead of me." "Who knew rock-paper-scissors could be so intense?" "!" "Should I just come out and tell you?" "Huh?" "Next, I'm going to throw paper." "What the...?" "!" "Is she telling the truth or lying?" "Which is it?" "No good." "I can't tell what she's thinking at all!" "Leorio!" "If you throw scissors, then you can win!" "Just shut up!" "Scissors beat paper every time!" "I said shut up, didn't I?" "!" "Aw man, is it gonna be rock, paper, or scissors?" "Now, shall we do this?" "Yeah!" "Here it goes!" "Rock, paper..." "Scissors!" "Oops..." "That was stupid." "Didn't I tell you I was throwing paper?" "I lost." "Oh, man." "He would've won if he went with scissors like I said." "That is true if you see just the result, but..." "When people hesitate or start to doubt themselves, they will usually stick with what worked for them before hoping for mental stabilization." "Or they'll often overcompensate by going with a throw that would've beaten their previous one." "Which means they'll most likely go with either rock or paper." "Then all I have to do is throw paper..." "And I won't lose." "To make matters worse, she announced her intention to throw paper, which made Leorio doubt going with scissors." "She set a trap for him and he fell into it." "In other words, that snake of a woman swallowed Leorio whole." "The rock-paper-scissors match is over!" "Doctor Leorio is outta time!" "And I'm the winner!" "That was an anticlimactic ending for the match between two doctors." "That gives us two wins and two losses." "Not only that, we lose the fifty hours we wagered from our time to escape the tower." "Then..." "How much time does that leave us with?" "Nine hours, three minutes!" "Time means nothing to me." "Whoever my opponent is... his only option is death." "I'm sorry." "I was pretty confident in gambling." "I should've chosen a game of strip poker instead of stupid old rock-paper-scissors." "How big of an idiot are you?" "Now to play the final card..." "The only one left is..." "Let's see, who still hasn't gone from our side?" "That would be me." "I was getting so bored of waiting I almost fell asleep." "Wh-What...?" "What?" "What's with that expression?" "I really should have won, no matter what!" "If this match requires the use of a brain, we're goners!" "Gon, this guy's getting on my nerves!" "Calm down." "I don't wanna hear it from someone who just lost in the match that did require the use of brain!" "Sure, I admit I'll probably lose if I gotta answer a bunch of math questions." "Don't worry about it." "No matter what kinda match your opponent picks," "I'm sure you can do it, Killua!" "Gon..." "Just make sure you throw rock first!" "Just don't pick rock-paper-scissors!" "As if!" "Killua..." "That man's name is..." "Johness the Dissector!" "Johness!" "Killua!" "Hm?" "I suggest you forfeit this match." "You shouldn't fight this guy." "I have heard that name myself." "Me too." "Johness the Dissector." "He's the worst mass murderer in the history of Zaban City." "Really..." "How many has he killed?" "Nobody knows for sure, but it's a lot!" "So far, there are 146 victims that they know of." "And every one of his victims has been torn apart mercilessly in to more than fifty different pieces." "That's how he got his name..." "Johness the Dissector." "And all those were works done by his bare hands." "When they finally arrested him," "Johness didn't show any signs of resisting at all." "But when the police officer who took him into custody went to start his patrol car..." "That's when..." "His special skill is to tear the flesh off someone's body in the blink of an eye with his bare hands." "What makes it possible is the extraordinary strength of his fingers!" "Of all the criminals I captured as a Blacklist Hunter," "Johness is the ultimate prize." "Whoa, that's a stone wall!" "I've never seen grips like that!" "Now you know." "No one should be expected to fight against a psychopath like this." "We can always take the Exam again next year." "I hope you all agree with me on this, but..." "I think we should abandon the Exam right here and now." "If you have any objections..." "Killua!" "Hey!" "Killua!" "Wait!" "Don't try to stop me." "This is game is finally starting.... to get interesting." "Killua." "Game, is it?" "Do you know what you are saying..." "Gon?" "!" "It will be okay!" "Please believe in Killua." "See, this is just a game for Killua." "So he doesn't even listen to the kind advice." "Here we go." "I've waited so long..." "Now I get to feel the flesh of the outside world." "I wonder." "Gon." "That guy's not gonna choose an intellectual match." "He's kind of guy whose only thought is of tearing flesh apart." "It'll be okay." "So, what kinda fight is it gonna be?" "A fight?" "Gon." "I told you it's okay." "I think you got the wrong idea..." "The only thing that's gonna happen here is me slaughtering you." "I don't care about the Exam, or getting my sentence reduced." "I just wanna dig my fingers into your flesh." "That's all." "All you have to do is scream and cry out." "All right, so whoever dies loses the game." "Stop this, Killua!" "Killua!" "Okay, you will..." "Give... it... back..." "That gives us three wins and two losses." "Which means we've passed this stage, doesn't it?" "Yeah..." "You guys win." "There's a small room behind us." "That's where you'll have to wait out the fifty hours you lost in the bet." "I see." "By the way, old man..." "You must be bored since you didn't actually get to do anything." "Wanna play with me?" "Nah!" "Thanks, but no thanks." "He's from a family of elite assassins?" "!" "Yeah." "The Zoldyck family!" "Hey, let's go already." "Killua..." "How did you learn a skill like that?" "I wouldn't even call that a skill really." "All I did was reach out and grab it." "Of course..." "I had to manipulate my body a little to make it easier to do." "That guy may've been a mass murderer, but he's still an amateur." "And well, I used to be a professional." "If you thought that was good, you should see my dad in action." "When he plucks out someone's heart, he doesn't even spill a single drop of blood." "You're someone we can depend on." "Is he a cat?" "As long as he's on our side." "That explains it... he's a member of the Zoldyck family." "I must say, these guys are all very interesting." "Congratulations." "You all may pass." "Finally!" "We can move on ahead!" "Yeah, yeah, we get to move on, but first we have to sit around for the next fifty hours." "Then Leorio we can spend the time training for our next rock-paper-scissors match!" "{\fad(0,1400)}Ah, please don't mention that!" "We've gotta hurry!" "There's only 8 hours and 57 minutes left!" "But which way should we go?" "!"

"We'll be all right." "Yeah, as long as a certain old man doesn't hold us up." "I get it already." "We have just under nine hours left." "Let's move!" "Yeah!" "Hey, brothers, we did it!" "We finally cleared the Trick Tower." "Naturally." "Like we would fail as early as in Phase Three." "Don't be getting so excited after taking such a long time, Yamori Brothers." "Hanzo..." "It's Amori, not Yamori." "Remember that." "Hey bro, so many of them are here already." "All that matters is that we got here on time." "By the way... it took me 32 hours and 25 minutes to get here." "Thirty two hours?" "!" "So, you must've been the first one to get here." "Yeah, that's what I thought too." "But someone was here before me." "Hisoka..." "So it was him..."

"He's right." "What?" "!" "You guys!" "Open the door?" "Yes" "No" "Damn it!" "Are we ever gonna reach the end?" "!" "I wonder how many floors we've come down by now?" "I just hope we're actually going down!" "What do you mean?" "Don't you get it?" "This could be some kind of trick." "We could actually be going up instead of down." "We could be getting right back to the start." "It's conceivable." "Damn you!" "Time remaining: one hour..." "Time remaining: one hour." "Everyone!" "Let's hurry!" "Right!" "Yeah!" "Do we go through this door or not?" "Of course we will!" "I've had all I can take." "I'm really had it up to here with all your trying to screw with us." "You got that?" "!" "Hey, wait a sec." "I pressed O too." "You are lying!" "Who else could it possibly be?" "!" "It wasn't him!" "I'm sorry, Leorio..." "I pressed the X by mistake." "Is that so?" "That's fine then." "Now hold on..." "Huh?" "I think I deserve a proper apology from you." "I can't agree with what you did just now." "It's because you've been doing stuff to make yourself suspicious." "I don't particularly feel like I need to apologize." "You make it sound like" "I was the only one who's been hindering everyone." "Who's fault was it that we were forced to waste 50 hours doing nothing?" "You're the one who made the critical mistake." "Enough!" "What was that?" "!" "Leorio!" "Hey, hey." "I was just stating what the facts were, wasn't I?" "Yeah, sure you were." "But still, I won't stand for this!" "Stop it!" "Both of you!" "Right now, what we should be thinking about is how we're gonna get ahead!" "Gon..." "Gon's right." "Looks like we are close to the exit." "Finally all of them have made it to that room." "Well, let's have them entertain us for the remaining hour." "Applicants, attention please." "You've come to the last fork along the path of Majority Rules." "This will be the last of your long journey with Majority Rules." "But, of course, you will have to choose one of the two doors here." "There are two paths you can take." "One path is long, difficult, but all five of you can take it." "The other path is short and easy, but only three of you can take it." "If you take the long and difficult path, push O." "For short and easy path, push X." "If the X path is chosen, the door will open only when two of you have been handcuffed to the wall." "Those two applicants won't be able to move from here until time has run out." "For your information, the path behind the O door will take at least 45 hours to complete." "What?" "!" "Whereas the path behind the X door will take three minutes." "So, will you vote X or O?" "Let the majority rule." "They must've already been through a lot together to have gotten this far." "I'm sure a certain amount of camaraderie must have developed between them by now." "However, there only one end to them if they chose O." "What will they do?" "So, it comes to this." "Leorio?" "Now, I tell you this first..." "I'm gonna push X." "And I have no intention of being one of the two left here either." "I'm gonna be one of the three to leave this room, no matter what it takes." "It looks like the proctor thought of everything." "Every kind of weapon from all over the world that could be found are in here." "I guess this means we gotta fight to determine the three that gets to move on." "Well, I'm pressing the O button." "We've come this far after all." "I wanna pass this with all five of us together." "Gon..." "Even if it's one in a million, I'd rather take that chance." "Hey, hey." "We have less than one hour left now." "We obviously gotta take the shorter path." "The only question left is how to decide the three of us that goes." "And I don't have any intention of ending the game yet." "If no one backs off... we just have to fight each other." "But Killua..." "Wait a minute..." "This could be a trap, you know?" "Just think about it." "The short and easy path sounds really fishy." "You know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." "That sounds real coming from you." "What was that?" "I know exactly what you're thinking." "If we decide on X and two of us were to be left behind, one would be you for sure." "You want to avoid it all cost, don't you?" "Seems I've hit right on the mark." "And just who, might I ask, do you think the second one's gonna be?" "What?" "Certainly, if it comes down to a fight," "I don't stand much of a chance." "I'll be the one of the two left behind." "But who do you think's gonna be the other guy?" "Will it be Gon?" "Kurapika?" "Or maybe Killua?" "If I remember correctly, you've been with Gon and Kurapika before the Exams started." "So, I guess that makes Killua the odd man out." "But I wonder if that would go smoothly." "He is a member of the Zoldyck family" "You never learn, do you?" "Shall I shut that mouth once and for all?" "You can't do that!" "Gon!" "Why would you defend a jerk like this?" "!" "Because I want all of us to pass this phase together, no matter what." "And that means we don't leave anyone behind!" "You are still saying that?" "!" "Why don't you tell us what other choice we have?" "!" "I'm saying we all have to think about another way!" "What about you, Kurapika?" "I'm gonna choose O." "Like Gon said, there might be another way out of this." "I see." "That means..." "Me and Killua are picking X..." "While Gon and Kurapika are going with O." "I guess O wins with three to two." "Not so fast." "I think I'm gonna drop out." "Huh?" "And I'm gonna vote X, if you please." "So, looks like it's decided... we're choosing the short path." "I made it in time..." "This guy's dead!" "What an idiot." "Instead of dying to pass, he should've lived and took the Exam again." "Hey!" "What exactly are you trying to pull here anyway?" "At first, you made it sound like you'd be voting O." "What have you got up your sleeve?" "I have nothing to hide." "All I did was weigh the pros and cons." "What?" "Considering what little time we have left, the O isn't an option." "And if we pick the X, without a doubt I'd be left behind." "In other words, either way, this year's Hunter Exam is over for me here." "So, why would I wanna go out of my way to get hurt?" "I'll just pack it in here and look forward to next year when I can crush rookies again." "So long." "See ya next year!" "Like I would!" "What would you do, Gon?" "There's less than 45 minutes left..." "It has to be X." "No way!" "You still saying that at this stage?" "!" "There just has to be a better way!" "There's got to be!" "Gon!" "What other way could there be?" "!" "There's only one way to vote here, and that's X!" "No!" "There's gotta be another way." "I don't want us to have to fight each other!" "Idiot!" "Remember what we were asked during the two-choice quiz?" "Now's the time you have to make that choice!" "You're wrong!" "This isn't a matter of life and death, not yet!" "If we use our heads we'll find a solution!" "Again with that?" "!" "Hey, now..." "Then tell me what this other way is!" "What in the world are you thinking?" "I said I'm thinking what that is." "It has begun." "Like you have the brains to think with!" "Until they end up killing each other." "That goes for you too, Leorio!" "Go ahead, that suits my purpose." "That's enough, both of you stop it right now!" "While you stand around arguing with each other, our time is ticking away!" "Besides, this is the path of Majority Rules." "We have stick to whatever gets decided on it." "That means..." "Of course." "I'll accept the result whatever it happens to be." "And if that means I have to fight, so be it." "However!" "Know that it'd be useless to hope for us fighting each other and take advantage of the situation." "In other words, whoever tries to reap the benefit of aftermath will not succeed." "At any rate, as long as I'm here," "I won't allow such scheme to be realized." "What the hell are you talking about, Kurapika?" "What made you think you could fool us?" "You're the worst actor I've ever seen, old man!" "Hey, just what are you getting at?" "!" "You should lock your handcuffs properly." "D-Damn you!" "You pretended to handcuff yourself, thereby prompting us to fight." "Then, you were going to attack when we are wounded and tired from fight and pass the Exam yourself." "Better abandon that scheme, now." "You leave me no choice!" "I'll take you on gladly, asshole!" "For the King of the Flunkies, you're actually pretty good." "I didn't take the Exam 35 times for nothing!" "Yeah, go for it!" "Let's see some blood!" "Show us your true color!" "Kill each other!" "Are you kidding?" "What's wrong?" "You can do better!" "Just do it!" "There!" "Stop it!" "Both of you!" "This is not the time for it!" "I'm sorry, Kurapika, but I just can't take it anymore!" "It's the end of the line for this guy!" "Tonpa, stand down!" "Forget it!" "I've risked a lot to make it this far, and there's no way I'm gonna give up now!" "I'm gonna move on ahead and continue watching you rookies suffer and drop out!" "I'll pass this phase by whatever means necessary for that!" "Fine by me." "Time out!" "Gon?" "Move it, Gon, or I'll crush you too!" "We all wanna pass this phase and move on, right?" "Then why not do that together?" "!" "Shut up!" "I've had more than enough of your stupid kid remarks!" "I think I've figured out a way all five of us can pass this stage." "You actually think I'm gonna fall for that crap?" "!" "Tonpa, if you wanna pass this phase too, please trust me." "I'm positive... it's gonna work..." "Are you really sure it's gonna work?" "Yeah!" "We have less than forty minutes left." "Now what do we do?" "We use this!" "Huh?" "I get it!" "What..." "Gon?" "Leorio!" "Take that axe and follow Gon's lead!" "Huh?" "!" "If there's no way, we'll just make one." "That bastard!" "Isn't this against the rules?" "!" "Sir, we've gotta stop them!" "Yeah, and we'd better do it quick!" "Nah." "Interesting..." "What a clever kid he is." "That's something I never would've thought of myself." "But sir..." "There!" "We have less than fifteen minutes left." "We did it!" "We really did it, Mr. Tonpa!" "Yeah!" "Just in time!" "No." "We don't have time to be celebrating." "We've got less than three minutes." "Come to think of it, they did say it would take about three minutes to get through the X path." "No!" "That means we aren't gonna make it!" "Hey, Gon..." "I voted O because you said it was gonna be okay!" "Won't you stop that!" "If we hurry we still might make it." "Don't try to placate me with empty words!" "We are finished!" "Damn it!" "And just after going all that and coming this far!" "The time remaining is one minute." "He's on his way." "This is awesome!" "Another great idea, Gon!" "When I realized the path was all downhill," "I thought maybe this would get us out in time." "Yeah, but it's tough to balance this thing." "Left turn!" "Man, how can you see where we're going?" "!" "The forests on Whale Island get darker than this at night." "We've only got thirty seconds left!" "All right!" "Go!" "I think they've snapped." "Time's up!" "They chose the long and difficult path and broke through the wall within the time limit to get to the short and easy path." "That way they've managed to get all five them out..." "But are they even allowed to do that?" "Yeah, they can't go around smashing through walls!" "That boy broke through more than just an ordinary wall." "Huh?" "He broke through the walls named common sense." "He sure is something special." "That really was a big risk we took, you know!" "My hands are covered in blisters." "Yeah, it was really close, wasn't it?" "How did you come up with that idea?" "Actually, I got the idea when I saw Tonpa smash through the floor with that axe." "I thought maybe we could bust a hole in wall if we used that." "Hey, Gon!" "Thanks to your master plan, the wheels on my board are run down!" "So what're you gonna do about it?" "I'm sorry, Killua." "No, I won't let you off the hook." "When faced with dilemma in that extreme psychological state he still came up with an idea to break through it and was able to cope with the accident, too." "Gon, that is what sets you apart from everyone else." "I'd like to congratulate all of you for escaping the Trick Tower." "My name is Lippo, and in addition to being a Blacklist Hunter," "I've been your proctor for Phase Three." "Now, I hope you don't mind this surprise." "Your ride to the next phase is here." "What is that?" "Wow!" "So there's not gonna be much of a break before we get to the next phase, huh?" "Who cares?" "!" "We get to ride on the airship!" "Whaddaya mean, "who cares?"" "Lippo!" "Good bye!" "I think it might be too soon for a "good bye."" "We get dropped off on an island for a three day vacation!" "Hey, Killua!" "Let's go fishing!"

"My name is Banner, and I'm the manager of this hotel." "This is my husband, Genner." "Nice to meet you all." "Did I hear you say this was a hotel?" "That's right." "Part of this ship has been partly converted into a hotel with all the amentities." "In the past, we've had the honor of hosting His Majesty, the King of Nebra." "Also, this hotel is a favorite among celebrities of the continent who refer to it as the White Palace on the Ocean." "I didn't ask for a sales pitch." "So you two are not the proctors, right?" "Are we?" "Yes, that's a very good question." "The Hunter Committee has given me a message to deliver to all of you applicants." ""To all who passed Phase Three, congratulations on a job well done!" "Phase Four will begin three days from now." "Until then, please enjoy your short break in this island."" "Wow, a break!" "Oh, that's disappointing." "Here I was all ready to take the next Exam!" "I told you to go throw up somewhere else." "A little RR would do us a lot of good." "I think I just puked my guts out." "It's been pretty intense right from day one." "You're cleaning that up." "All right." "Then I'm gonna take a shower and get all cleaned and refreshed." "Just a minute please." "What is it?" "Here you have to pay in advance." "Ten million jenny per person." "Ten million jenny?" "!" "You are gonna charge us?" "!" "More over..." "That's way too expensive!" "For that price," "I could stay at the most deluxe hotel in Yorknew City for six months!" "Um, is there a special price for kids who don't have much money?" "I mean, do we look like a group of rich aristocrats or something to you?" "Even a respective adult would not have that much money!" "If so, we can't allow you to stay." "Fine by me!" "I'd rather sleep outside on the island somewhere than spend a night in one of your ridiculously overpriced rooms!" "We have three days." "The problem is water." "On an island this small, there's little hope of finding a fresh water spring." "All you can do is hope for rain." "Under a tropical sun like this, we'd be completely dehydrated within two days." "And even if it does rain, it's still unlikely we'd recover enough strength to endure the rest of the Exam." "Then what am I supposed to do?" "!" "Even in my wildest dreams I've never had that kinda money!" "For people in your situation..." "We're more than happy to suggest an alternative method of payment." "Alternative?" "What is it?" "It's quite simple..." "What've you got to trade?" "Those two old geezers are sure taking advantage of our situation." "As a side business, my wife and I also run a little antique shop." "There are a number of shipwrecks scattered around the island." "If you were to, say, bring back some treasure from the ships, you could put it toward the cost of your room." "What?" "!" "The type of room we give you would depend on the value of what you find." "Those managers!" "They're total scammers!" "I bet they're making a killing, taking advantage of poor Hunter Exam applicants year after year!" "Quit complaining." "Take a break in a hotel my ass!" "We hafta work so hard we might as well still be taking the..." "Exam?" "!" "Right." "There's a good possibility his might simply be another part of the Hunter Exam." "Treasure hunting is a fundamental skill for anyone who wants to become a Hunter." "How's it going, Imori?" "!" "Find anything?" "!" "Uh, no... nothing yet..." "Hurry up, you useless runt!" "Why do they always make me do all the dirty work?" "I found something!" "Oh, wow!" "That's the ceremonial crown of Jerra the Third, also known as The Tragic Prince." "He was lost at sea on his coronation day - back in the sixteenth century." "What?" "Of course, it's common knowledge to anyone who's trying to become a Hunter." "I found something, too!" "Look at it!" "That's the legendary Scepter of the Sun, which was suppose to be presented to the Queen of England in the 18th century, but mysteriously disappeared." "It must be worth hundreds of millions." "Hot damn!" "I can't be sitting around here!" "Or it could just be an antique bedpost." "In any case, developing eyes to assess the true values is one of the basic skills for anyone aspiring to be a Hunter." "Gon!" "I saw a sunken pirate ship over that way." "I bet it's just loaded with all kinds of treasure!" "Really?" "!" "For sure!" "But unfortunately, I can't dive that deep." "I'm sure you could get to it, though." "Okay." "Hold this." "It's over there under the bow of that sailboat." "Okay!" "That sure is one gullible kid." "I'll have this scepter for myself..." "Hey, old man!" "You'd better not be cheating." "I..." "I don't know what you are talking about?" "Okay, my bad, I'll give this scepter back!" "I'll let you have it for that golden goblet there." "Then we can both forget this ever happened." "Me and Gon got an alliance." "While he's down there diving for treasure," "I'm up here guarding it." "I was careless..." "You should see all the treasure down there!" "There's a ton of it, just like Tonpa said." "Here, look!" "Huh." "You dive too, Killua!" "What about the treasures here?" "Who cares!" "There're a whole lot more down there!" "Fine with me." "Th-There really was pirate treasure?" "!" "I guess I shouldn't have doubted you." "Here, maybe this'll make up for it." "This is...!" "How unfortunate." "If you had found all twelve plates in the set, it would have been worth at least 900,000 jenny." "We'll give you a second class cabin." "Who's up next?" "!" "Whaddaya think?" "!" "This has gotta be worth at least a ten billion?" "!" "It's worth no more than ten million jenny." "Are you kidding me?" "!" "Well, you've got all the gems scratched because they got mixed in with the diamonds." "They need to be re-cut to be of any use." "A second class cabin for you as well." "Damn!" "Even if they aren't perfect, I bet Aunt Mito would love to have a few of these." "Wow, that's amazing!" "I sure did!" "Now finally I get to be a multi-millionaire!" "Don't you wanna ask them how much it's worth?" "Nah." "If I get to keep all this treasure," "I don't even need to become a Hunter anymore!" "Seriously?" "!" "Of course, I'm serious." "With this, I can become a doctor and spend my life rolling around in money!" "What are those?" "They look like cannon balls to me." "Are they worth lots?" "You should ask him." "What do you think, Leorio?" "Can you spend your life rolling in money?" "Who's next please?" "What's this...?" "The legendary Golden Pendant of the Kurta Clan, which offers protection to whoever wears it." "It's genuine." "Is it worth a lot?" "As accessories go, it's not worth that much." "Oh, is that so?" "I have no intention of exchanging this for money." "Or a room either." "I was hoping that since you are the manager of this hotel, you might know something about this." "Please tell me..." "How long has that ship been there?" "I don't know." "The shipwreck was already here when we first arrived." "There's nothing I can tell you about Kurta Clan." "I see." "You can have this back then..." "And also..." "You get your room too." "Thanks very much." "Got one!" "It sure is big." "Take a look!" "You wanna give it a try, Killua?" "May I?" "Here!" "First thing you gotta do is bait the hook." "How can you just pick that thing up like that?" "This coming from someone who grabs something far more awful..." "Okay, now try to lure the fish in." "Hmm?" "You're gonna hafta make that little worm look really tasty." "Try jiggling the rod a bit." "I got one!" "All right!" "Now let it swallow the bait before you try to pull it in." "Okay." "Way to go, Killua!" "You got it on your first try!" "Now!" "All right!" "What is this thing?" "!" "It's so gross!" "I can't accept this!" "Oh?" "Can you see with those glasses?" "Yes." "Then you must know what all that treasure I brought you is actually worth!" "I know it should've been more than enough to rent out this whole stupid hotel." "So can you explain to me why I'm stuck sharing a room with Kurapika who only found one cheap little trinket?" "Well, that's..." "If you're not happy with your room," "I'd be happy to trade with you." "It's a private single room with plenty of sunlight." "There's lots of room to stretch out and relax." "Thanks, you've gotta deal." "Anytime." "Was that all right?" "Yeah." "I have some business to attend with my roommate." "Yo." "You could at least knock first." "I don't have to." "I'm your new roommate." "Hanzo decided to trade rooms with me." "Looks like we're stuck with each other." "Still, even roommates should show common courtesy." "Hey, where ya goin'?" "Nowhere, as far as you know." ""As far as I know?"" "How far is that?" "He wasn't kidding when he said it got a lotta sun." "And there's certainly enough room to stretch my legs... but if I get any hotter I think my brain is gonna melt!" "Hot, hot, hot!" "I've taken part in the Hunter Exam 35 times... and even though I've never made it through to the end, at least I've always managed to stay alive." "But I've never been in a predicament like this before!" "How come I have to share a room with this freak?" "!" "Huh?" "You wanna switch?" "I have to switch!" "Kamuri's gonna get stomach ache from the stress in that room!" "So please!" "That's the kind of problem that guests are perfectly able of dealing with on their own." "I'll switch with ya!" "Are you sure?" "!" "That would be great!" "Fool!" "Any roommate would be better than that pinhead." "Oh!" "S-So long!" "Your room?" "Please, you've gotta move me." "If I stay in there another minute I'll suffocate!" "I beg you!" "I'll switch with ya!" "Really?" "Sure, if you don't mind that your roommate's not gonna be a girl." "You're a lifesaver!" "Don't think ill of me..." "If you gonna hate anyone, hate that snake charmer..." "Oh!" "Let's leave those fishes and go check out the bridge now." "They'll be ready in a minute." "On a different subject, Killua..." "Yeah?" "I got a feeling you might regret having to share a room with me." "Why's that?" "Well you see..." "I've been told that I toss and turn a lot in my sleep." "Don't worry. 'Cuz I actually do the same thing." "You do, too?" "!" "Okay then!" "I guess that means we won't have any problems!" "Yeah, that's right." "Hey, I think the fish are finally ready to eat!" "Here's yours, Killua!" "Thank you." "What?" "Is something wrong?" "Um... the eyes..." "The eyes?" "It's looking right at me!" "That thing is still alive!" "I'm gonna be sick!" "Were you really a professional assassin, Killua?" "Tidying things up?" "That's right." "Was this... a Kurta Clan ship?" "Yeah." "I thought I'd come down here because I was worried about my roommate, but it seems I'm just sticking my nose into your business." "See ya." "Leorio." "Uh... you don't happen to have a lighter, do you?" "A lighter?" "Will matches work?" "Sure." "Here." "Scarlet Eyes..." "Scarlet eyes?" "Yes..." "like the color of fire." "The Scarlet Eyes." "The eyes of my people, the Kurta Clan, turn bright scarlet whenever we experience intense emotions." "And if any of us dies in that state, the color won't fade away." "Those eyes will be scarlet for eternity." "That blazing scarlet color..." "It is considered one of the more beautiful things in this world." "That's why the Kurta Clan was massacred by the Phantom Troupe." "After my people were killed, their bodies were discarded without any thought..." "But not before every one of their eyes were taken from them." "Even now I can hear that abyss of eyes calling to me." "They want revenge." "This ship probably sunk on this reef while trying to escape the Phantom Troupe." "But I didn't see any evidence of them being attacked during the voyage, so I can take consolation in that." "I suppose so." "Hey!" "This thing's got power!" "It looks like the engine still works." "I guess they use it for a generator or something." "How can you tell?" "Check this out!" "Sounds like a note of lament." "Yeah." "I promise I'll catch the Phantom Troupe with my own hands." "I will reclaim all the eyes that were stolen from my clan people." "So for now..." "Please rest in peace." "In order to fulfill your promise you will have to become a Hunter..." "No matter what." "We did pretty well this year, didn't we?" "Indeed." "There's some good stuff." "That thing was a very good thing too wasn't it?" "I'm talking about that pendant." "Well, yes." "However, the more valuable an artifact is, the more it ought to stay in its rightful place." "The memories associated with certain objects can be worth more than any amount of money." "This might be the best place for it." "And it should stay here till the end of the days." "Yes, darling." "This sucks!" "It's still hot as an oven in here." "I can't sleep in this heat!" "Hey, what's wrong, Kamuri?" "!" "What?" "What's with this snake?" "A new record." "Ah, so fresh so clean!" "Oh, yeah." "I don't need this anymore." "I'm gonna do this cool." "Wh-What was that?" "!" "I just had a chill run up my spine." "That's what I call refreshing!" "Huh?" "Something wrong?" "You mean you didn't hear anything?" "Not really." "It's probably just the waves." "You think?" "More importantly, let's get up early in the morning so we can go explore the rest of the ship." "Sounds good." "Guess we'd better get some sleep." "Aren't kids supposed to go to bed early anyway?" "What's the big deal if I walk around naked?" "We are both men here, you know?" "You make yourself more suspicious by getting the wrong idea." "{\fad(0,2000)}If you keep it up, I'll really attack you." "My dear?" "It's almost the time." "Right, about time." "It is." "That hurt!" "Hm?" "Hey Killua!" "Get up, quick!" "Do you hear that?" "!" "Hear what?" "It's the airship!" "This is probably what that shiver was trying to warn me about." "Shouldn't you be a little mad?" "They just took off and left us here!" "We were being careless." "We're stuck on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean!" "How're we supposed to get to the next Exam site?" "!"

"What kind of manager would leave 36 guests behind and just take off?" "Yeah." "And they charged us a lot." "What the hell are they thinking?" "But it's not like we paid them money" "We paid with treasure and got our rooms in exchange." "It's the same thing!" "You got that right!" "Hey, Tonpa, we actually agree on something for a change!" "It doesn't make me happy." "Speaking of which," "I just checked the manager's room." "They left all the treasure behind." "You think they forgot to take it?" "Of course not." "It seems like they had another reason for leaving us behind." "Do you think this is part of the Exam?" "I don't know." "We don't have enough information to conclude anything." "Hey, Bro, who's gonna cook for us then?" "Someone who knows how to cook, I guess." "Do we have someone like that in this bunch?" "We're all gonna starve to death on this island in the middle of nowhere!" "Just calm down." "We can catch fish for food." "But the real problem is, what are we going to do now?" "Hey!" "Come here a minute!" "Is that thing broken?" "No, the radio is still in working order." "But we can't get a signal in any channel for some reason." "What?" "That means..." "That means we can't contact anybody." "It's like all 36 of us are stranded on this island..." "Hey, did you hear that strange sound just now?" "No, not really." "Oh..." "Just standing here won't solve anything." "Let's all split up and search the ship for some clues." "Good idea." "Let's go." "Will you keep at it a bit longer?" "Okay." "I found these." "Compasses?" "Yeah." "And for some strange reason, there's one for each of us." "I found these measuring tools." "I searched through the manager's room." "And I found this map." "What is this?" "This here would be the Battleship Island we're on right now." "And this line indicates the route to Zevil Island." "They obviously left these things behind for us to find." "Which would mean this is part of the Exam." "They're telling us to get to this island." "All right!" "Let's go to that Zevil Island!" "Luckily, the ocean's calm right now." "I don't think it's gonna be that easy." "With the map and compass, we can determine what direction to take, but we can't tell the distance." "What do you mean?" "The water does look calm, and there's no sign of a storm." "But if we don't know the distance to the Island, then we won't know how much food to bring..." "Or how much water." "We know which direction to go." "The sun will be our reference point then on." "We'll just cruise without food or water and endure it as part of the Exam." "That's too risky." "Have you forgotten that the Exam is full of traps?" "If this indeed is part of the Exam, this map itself may be a trap." "Aren't you being too suspicious?" "I also believe that they want us to find our way to Zevil Island." "I don't argue with you there." "But I'm just saying it would be safer to wait until nightfall so we can use the stars to chart our course as accurately as possible." "Wait until after nightfall?" "!" "You're being too slow." "We need to proceed with caution, like Kurapika just said." "It sure seems like this could be part of the Exam, but it's a lot different from anything else we've had to do so far." "I think we should stick together on this." "Bad idea." "Of course, this is part of the Exam." "And there could even be a time limit." "I don't think you should be making statements that make people more nervous." "Do you have any proof to back that up?" "I looked inside the water tank." "There's hardly any drinking water left at all." "We'll be dried up if we take too much time." "We came here for three days." "We lost one day scavenging for treasure." "Which leaves us with two." "So that must mean Zevil Island is reachable within two days." "I see." "Hey, Bro, we've got bigger things to worry about than food!" "Yeah." "Let's find a boat." "Hey!" "All right!" "We're going to Zevil Island!" "Wait!" "If we all head out on our own and anything goes wrong we're done for!" "Then stay if you want!" "Don't stir them." "We could end up with casualties." "Getting rid of the competition is part of the Exam." "I'm gonna survive no matter what." "I don't care what happens to others." "So what are we gonna do now?" "Kurapika, I understand where you're coming from, but he has a point, too." "I'm just saying we should proceed with caution." "I know, but..." "I'm off to Zevil Island." "See ya." "I still think Kurapika's right." "But I don't think we should wait around until after dark." "So why don't we split up again and scour the ship for anything that might tell us our current location?" "I guess it's better than just waiting around." "Hey, Gon, let's go back to that place we found." "Yeah!" "What about you?" "I'll try to talk some sense into those numbskulls." "The more people, the better." "Let's all meet back on the bridge if we find anything useful, okay?" "Okay." "Wow... that's cool!" "But what's the use?" "It's not like we're gonna walk there on the bottom of the ocean." "Yeah, you're right." "Let's go look somewhere else." "Okay." "There." "Heave-ho!" "Heave-ho!" "All right!" "All right!" "Now let's plug the holes and pump out the bilge." "Hey, wait a second!" "Think straight!" "Can't you guys tell it's too dangerous heading out now?" "Don't act like you're the leader, baldy." "Stay outta our way!" "Don't act smart, cue ball." "What's wrong with this sushi chef?" "!" "Don't get full of yourself." "How's it going?" "No luck." "I give up." "If we get a storm, the change in barometric pressure might affect the electromagnetic waves enough to give us something, but..." "Don't joke about a thing like that." "I don't want to have a storm at a place like this." "How'd it go?" "Not good." "They don't wanna hear anything I have to say." "How 'bout you?" "I didn't find anything." "I see." "But I just can't understand it." "What's the objective of this phase?" "There're no instructions..." "All we have is an incomplete map..." "A grounded battleship..." "Countless shipwrecks..." "And all that treasure we found." "All the decisions are up to us to make." "What exactly are they testing us on?" "And how come there are so many shipwrecks here anyway?" "Nothing makes sense." "I think something bad is gonna happen." "Something bad...?" "There it is again, that sound." "Huh?" "It's coming from out there in the sea." "You don't hear it, Killua?" "Not a thing." "Nothing except the waves." "But I definitely heard something..." "Hanzo..." "How did it go?" "I see..." "But that's not a surprise." "All of us here have relied on our own strengths and wisdoms to make it this far." "I can understand why they don't want to listen to what others have to say, and why working with others is out of question for them." "But if this really is a test," "I have a feeling that it could end up costing them their lives." "I agree." "I can't quite explain it, but my ninja instincts tell me we're right." "But what should we do?" "They're not gonna change their minds just because of a hunch." "Right..." "We've already done all that we can, too." "We are only wasting valuable time as is." "I know we've got to take action..." "Kurapika..." "There's something else that's been bothering me." "You can call it another one of my ninja instincts..." "But I have an ominous feeling about this place, and it's getting stronger." "Something's going to happen." "I'm sure that's what this phase is all about." "It seems like that's the consensus amongst all of us who stayed, Kurapika." "And there's one thing we can accomplish before that "something" happens." "And that is...?" "It's... to choose a leader." "Does anyone have any objections?" "Then it's decided." "Between now until we reach Zevil Island," "Hanzo will be the leader and Kurapika will be his second in command..." "Okay, Hanzo, it's up to you now." "I don't want to overstep my authority, but there's one thing I want to tell you." "I'm a ninja." "Ninjas work best as a group." "Where I'm from, this teamwork is known as "wa" or harmony." "And this is the kind of situation where our "wa" is put to the test." "This'll only be for a short time, so let us work together as a team." "He makes a good speech..." "But what is this ninja "wa" thing..." "Wa... wa..." "like nagenawa, lasso?" "This place is totally abandoned." "Hey, Killua, check this out." "It looks like the ship's logbook..." "Good score!" "Nice find, Gon!" "Huh?" "This is great, Bro!" "Yeah." "This is the greatest find." "We've got this phase in the bag." "I see." "Apparently this ship was grounded here towards the end of the war to be used as a gun battery." "This logbook was written by the commanding officer at the time." "So?" "Does it mention anything about Zevil Island?" "Here it is!" "It's close!" "It's reachable in a day with a small boat!" "All right!" "Let's get ready!" "Ponzu here!" "We're picking up something on the radio!" "We are getting some static noise." "It seems like the atmospheric pressure is becoming unstable." "The birds are frightened." "What's going on?" "Look!" "All right!" "Now all we gotta do is load up with food and water and sail off!" "Right!" "Wh What the hell is that?" "!" "The atmosphere..." "It's distorting!" "So that's what it was." "Huh?" "This is why the radio didn't work." "There must've been something abnormal about the atmosphere since this morning... no, probably even before that." "And now with the sun setting, the angle of the light has changed and that allowed us to see it with our eyes." "I hear it again!" "Huh?" "That noise!" "I think it's coming from out at sea!" "It's gotten closer." "Huh?" "Are you sure, Gon?" "I hear it now." "It's faint but I can hear it too, Gon." "It was more faint earlier." "But..." "Fourth of July." ""Strange atmospheric disturbance." "The signs were observed so we began preparations to evacuate."" ""The entire garrison will abandon this post and will evacuate first thing tomorrow morning."" ""Predictions indicate the first storm front will hit at dusk tomorrow." "Before it does..."" "First storm front?" "What's that about?" "!" ""As predicted, this phenomenon occurs once every ten years."" "See ya later!" "Take your time!" "Bye-bye, cue-ball!" "Cue ball!" "I'll depend on the position of the stars from here." "What the...?" "!" "That's..." "A waterspout and a whirlpool have merged!" "The distortion in the atmospheric pressure, the sudden rising of the tide..." "The phenomenon that's said to happen every ten years has just begun." "Ah, look!" "That ship is being pulled in!" "They're gonna..." "Stop, Gon!" "But!" "It's too late, there's nothing we can do!" "If Kamuri didn't freak out and run away," "I would've had the same fate." "Gerreta!" "Gon!" "Gon!" "The water level's about to go over the deck!" "Everyone, back into the ship!" "Hurry!" "Hanzo, the boat!" "Come on!" "What's going on, Bro?" "!" "It's gonna make me dizzy!" "There's something wrong with the wind current!" "I can't control it." "We're losing it!" "Oh no!" "We're gonna crash!" "We gotta jump!" "Are you serious, Bro?" "!" "We're gonna die!" "I'm here to help you!" "Help me?" "How?" "Gon!" "With this!" "Here we go!" "Gon, catch this!" "Everyone came back out onto the deck." "No one listens to the leader." "But Gerreta, you told us earlier that you'd survive at any cost." "Lucky you..." "You just did, thanks to these guys." "All we can do is wait at this point." "Hey look, I think the tide's going out!" "My my..." "There's no time to relax." "A second storm is 24 hours away." "And the next one will be..." "Are you saying the water's gonna get that high?" "!" "No." "Twenty four hours from now..." "Everything you see will be under water." "Unavoidable huge waves and waterspouts!" "What can we do against those?" "!" "Hey, I know!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Big Waves x Big Cannon x Huge Rush!" "Come back to life, 40 centimeter cannons! Did you hear it?"

"Now, let's list up the things we need to tackle." "First of all, we gotta see if we can break the ship loose from all the rocks." "Dislodging the sides and the hull shouldn't be too much of a problem." "Are we using explosives?" "!" "Who are you?" "!" "My name's Kyu." "I'm an expert at handling explosives." "There's still plenty of ordnance on this ship." "They should still be usable." "But our problem is with the bow." "It's jammed in against all that rock." "It would take a lot of ammo to blow it out of there." "We'd probably have to use this ship's gun turrets for that." "This rusty ship's?" "!" "A steady barrage from each of the four 40 centimeter cannons..." "That's our only hope." "We'd have to be able to route power to the gun turrets." "Do we even have the right ammunition?" "!" "I know where they are." "I found huge abandoned artillery while I was looking for treasure." "If we fire against the rock ahead, there's a good chance that a crack will form along the hull." "I get it." "And when water from the ocean flows into that crack, the ship should become buoyant enough to clear the reef!" "At any rate, we should make sure that we could get the engines running." "Where is the engine room?" "!" "It's right here." "But the passageway is flooded." "Well, we should be able to go through the air ducts from C-deck." "All right then." "Pokkle and I will go." "I think we have to displace as much of the water that's flooded into the hull back towards the stern to balance out the level." "The front half of the ship was renovated to become the hotel, so the weight isn't evenly distributed anymore." "We also have to deal with the seaweed that's grown around the propellers." "Let's blow a hole in the storehouse ceiling so the water can flow in." "Me and Killua will take care of the propellers." "Right?" "Sounds like a lot of work to me." "Let's do it." "Come on!" "Oh... all right." "Anyway, those are all the problems we are currently facing." "Now let's move." "Do you think we can do it all before the next storm front?" "We don't have a choice." "All 24 of us here will have to pull together to complete this task." "It's the only way to go to the Zevil Island." "All right, then." "Okay, everyone, move out!" "My, my..." "They're all full of energy..." "Let's hurry!" "You shut up!" "Kurapika..." "How's figuring out how to fire the cannons going?" "Things on my end are looking pretty good." "Both the first and second guns are not too badly damaged." "They should be able to fire a constant barrage." "And we figured out how to load the shells into them." "Good." "Now all we have to do is load them." "I sure hope what Leorio saw was for this thing." "It seems like there aren't any shells left on this ship." "Is this diving suit really safe to use?" "!" "All right, I'm good to go!" "Steam turbine engine..." "Do we have enough fuel?" "If this thing doesn't move, we're all gonna end up in a watery grave." "Well, thinking doesn't take us anywhere." "Let's get moving." "This is a genuine gold coin!" "It's ironic how these shells are worth more to us than all these gold coins." "This certainly isn't as much fun as shooting at moving targets." "Thanks." "We got enough shells, so go ahead and pull Leorio up." "What?" "!" "Pokkle!" "Ponzu!" "What's the status on the engine?" "!" "Hey, Pokkle, where are we at?" "!" "It's almost ready!" "Get that?" "We've found a way to route power to the guns." "Now let's just hope we can get this engine up and running." "Okay." "Now we'll start the countdown..." "We've got a problem!" "He was wearing the only diving suit we've got." "Rescuing Leorio may result in additional casualties." "But I'll leave the final decision up to you." "Okay?" "Kurapika!" "Hanzo!" "What is it?" "!" "Look!" "Holy..." "Our stuff is done." "Good job." "How about you?" "Where's Leorio?" "Not this again!" "Hold it!" "Let Gon handle it." "That idiot." "There's still a lot of work to do." "I'm gonna need your help." "Kurapika!" "Can you hear me?" "!" "Gon went for Leorio." "Let's leave Leorio in Gon's hands." "Look outside." "The waterspout is getting close!" "You should be able to estimate how much time we've got from its speed." "I'm turning command of the operation over to you." "Killua and I are gonna go take care of the cannons." "Roger that." "It's approaching at approximately 200 meters per minute." "That's it!" "All stations!" "The ship will achieve maximum buoyancy on the rising tide just before the waterspout hits us." "It will reach us at approximately 18:30, approximately ten minutes from now." "We're going to shell the rock around the bow that's grounding us by utilizing all four cannons." "At the same time, we'll engage the engines into a full reverse thrust to get out of here." "All stations, make your final preparations." "Everybody, be on the mark!" "The countdown will start on my mark..." "Mark!" "Killua!" "There's no time to hesitate!" "I know that!" "Reporting from the lower deck." "Water is flowing in as planned." "This should stabilize the ship." "Nice work." "Please go to the engine room now." "Pokkle, how is it going?" "We've managed to calibrate the four turbines." "All twelve boilers have been brought up to full operational pressure, and we're about to connect them." "I'm scared..." "We've only got one shot at this." "If the engines fail to engage, the pressure in the boilers will drop off." "It would take at least twenty minutes to bring them back up again." "But it'd be all over by then." "Just the thought of having 24 lives in my hands makes me..." "We've got power!" "Now they can fire the guns!" "Go ahead and connect!" "Okay!" "All four engines are fully operational!" "Sending the power to the four pressure pumps for the cannons." "Please open the circuit." "Roger that!" "Stand by for the order to power up the propellers!" "Switchboard room!" "Transfer all the power to the cannons!" "Open circuits A, B, and C." "Shut down everything else!" "Roger that!" "I'll take care of circuit B." "We'll do this in five seconds!" "Diverting all the power to the guns means it's pitch black out here." "It's not much, but I guess it's better than nothing." "I'm pretty good at holding out." "Loading left cannon!" "Loading complete!" "Loading right cannon is complete." "Okay then!" "Rotate the turrets!" "Firing station!" "Are you ready, Siper?" "!" "Nothing to ready myself." "I'm just shooting a wall." "I'd like to minimize the damage to the ship." "Aim for the weakest part of the rock." "Fall of a levee from a little leak, huh?" "!" "How's this?" "G-Good." "Wait for my signal." "Gon..." "Gon!" "Hang on." "Leorio...!" "I'll..." "leave the rest... to you..." "Hanzo!" "Reporting from the first turret!" "What happened?" "!" "We're taking on water!" "If the shells get wet, they won't fire!" "We got less than a minute." "Damn!" "Kurapika!" "We can't wait!" "We have to fire!" "Hey, Kurapika!" "I got no choice!" "Kurapika!" "Gon is coming up with Leorio!" "I understand!" "All stations!" "We will commence firing in thirty seconds!" "Target is the rock surrounding the bow at twelve o'clock!" "Distance is twenty!" "Fire all four cannons simutaneously." "Reload immediately, and wait for forty seconds to fire." "Continue firing as much as possible." "Brace yourselves for the concussion." "In twenty seconds!" "There." "You..." "I don't think I was..." "lying." "Five!" "Four!" "Three!" "Two!" "Fire!" "All hands, check for damage!" "Prepare for the second barrage!" "Engine room, route power to the propellers in 40 seconds!" "Compressed air's pressure is normal!" "No apparent damage to the cannons!" "Reloading in progress!" "Aw, man..." "I felt those explosions all the way over here!" "Tonpa-san!" "Gon!" "There, now this makes us even." "Okay, kid!" "Five!" "Four!" "Three!" "Two!" "Fire!" "The propellers are turning!" "Okay!" "Now use the recoil from the third barrage to push us back from the reef!" "Ready..." "Fire!" "It's moving!" "The ship is actually moving!" "Of course." "It is a ship, after all." "I guess so!" "Come out of the water already." "Right!" "You all right?" "We lost Gon!" "What?" "!" "Bridge!" "What happened?" "!" "We probably hit one of the rocks." "This entire area is littered with them." "Kurapika!" "The ship is starting to lean and the waterspout's making it worse too!" "We're going to capsize if we don't do something!" "Any idea?" "!" "Kurapika!" "Answer me!" "Hanzo!" "Fire into the waterspout!" "What?" "!" "The recoil just might straighten up the ship." "Who knows, it might even change the waterspout's direction." "Two birds with one stone!" "All right!" "I'll give it a try." "Siper, come in!" "Can you do it?" "!" "Well, it's certainly more interesting than shooting rocks." "Leave it to me." "I can't hold on..." "Fire!" "Good morning." "Killua." "How did I get here?" "Huh?" "!" "A wave washed you off the deck, but you caught yourself on a railing, right?" "!" "Yeah, but then..." "Never mind that." "Look over there!" "They're coming back." "Good work." "It's always nice to see a sunrise." "Our "wa" was able to see us through." "I thank you as a leader." "Thanks." "And thank you." "These guys continue to amaze me." "Twenty four applicants passed" "Lippo's customized bonus stage of the Third Phase!" "It's time for the Fourth Phase!" "A week of survival game starts!"

"About the Fourth Phase..." "I'd like everyone to draw lots." "There are as many cards in this box as the remaining applicants." "You'll each choose one in the order in which you escaped from the Trick Tower." "Now then, please pick one, Hisoka-san." "The card you just picked will have a number." "And those numbers correspond with the remaining applicants' ID numbers." "This drawing has just determined the hunter and the hunted." ""The hunter and the hunted"?" "What does that mean?" "In short, the objective of the Fourth Phase is to steal each other's ID badges." "The applicant whose badge ID number corresponds with the card you've picked is your target!" "We've recorded the number each of you have just picked." "So you can dispose of them if you wish." "As I was saying earlier..." "Your objective is to collect the ID badge off of your target." "In order to pass this phase, you'll need six points." "Six points?" "What do you mean by that?" "During this phase, each badge is worth a certain number of points." "The badge of your target is worth... three points!" "Your own badge is also worth... three points." "So, if you can steal your target's badge and manage to keep your own, you'll pass the Fourth Phase." "By the way, all other applicants' badges are worth one point." "You can also get the six points you need that way." "You'll be staying on Zevil Island for one week." "The entire island is your playing field." "Collect the six points by whatever means necessary for you." "Now I'll turn you all over to Khara." "All right!" "I have some excellent news for you guys!" "All of you here have been granted an unconditional invitation to take part in the First Phase of the Hunter Exam next year!" "So even if you don't make it this year, please try again next year!" "So gloomy..." "All right then, the trip to Zevil Island should be approximately two hours," "You may know who you're hunting... so please relax and enjoy yourselves." "But you have no idea who's hunting you." "It could be someone standing next to you like your friend." "The hunt has already begun." "Hey." "When we were trying to escape the island, we all banded together." "But now look at us." "Everyone's acting hostile against each other." "You can't blame them." "This next phase is not just about stealing someone else's badge." "It's basically about hunting humans." "Hunting humans?" "Worst case scenario, we could expect many fatalities." "Hunting for humans, huh?" "You're right about that." "Tonpa." "I'd say someone like that ninja, Hanzo, has a distinct advantage with his excellent mobility in this Fourth Phase." "Then there's the Amori Brothers." "Their strength lies in their ability to work as a team." "As for Gerreta with his blowgun, he is a great huntsman to start with." "Huntsman?" "A professional hunter?" "That's why you should be very careful of that blowgun." "Be careful how?" "Oh, and there's the biggest threat to all of us." "I bet that everyone's praying that they're not Hisoka's target." "Although the guy who has to hunt Hisoka is equally unlucky, I guess." "He'll most likely wind up as his next victim." "So, what number did you draw?" "What about you, Killua?" "It's a secret." "Don't worry." "You're not my target, Gon." "You're not mine either, Killua." "Then, let's show each other our cards on three!" "Yeah." "Three!" "Seriously?" "Yeah." "You got Hisoka's..." "Oh man, what rotten luck." "No kidding." "Yours..." "Who is 199?" "You don't know either?" "It's not like I remember everyone else's badge numbers." "I tried to find out right after the rules were explained, but everyone had hidden their badges already by then." "What a bunch of wusses!" "Are you scared or are you excited?" "Which one is it?" "A little bit of both..." "I guess." "If this was a straight fight," "I don't think I'd have a chance against him." "But if all I have to do is steal his badge, then there has to be a way." "To think that I have a chance against him, no matter how slight it is." "I'm scared... but it's an exciting challenge." "I see." "Well, good luck to the both of us." "Yeah." "Survive, okay?" "I hope you've all enjoyed the trip." "We'll be arriving at Zevil Island shortly." "We will be disembarking in the order in which you reached the bottom of Trick Tower." "You will be going ashore one at a time, at two minute intervals." "Please return to this location with six points worth of badges when the week's over." "First up, go!" "The first one off has more advantage." "Yeah, he can hide himself and track his target." "It's not comforting to know the one guy who's most likely to attack anyone and everyone gets to go ashore first." "Twenty-first, go!" "Okay!" "Leorio, Kurapika..." "Yeah, we'll meet back here." "Right." "First, I've gotta find Hisoka." "That was close." "That kid's quite sharp." "I guess I'll just take my time hunting him." "How can I steal Hisoka's badge?" "I don't think I could take his badge head on." "An applicant." "And there's someone else!" "He's sneaking up on him!" "He's gonna shoot!" "He missed?" "!" "Too bad." "Let me just say that I'm no easy target for you." "Oh yeah?" "Idiot!" "You don't have the time to prepare the next arrow." "Now you're just a poor prey." "Why you...!" "I coated that arrowhead with a toxin that induces paralysis." "You won't be able to walk for at least a week." "There's water nearby... so you won't die." "See ya!" "Wow!" "He hid his presence completely, waited for the right moment, and attacked in the mask of the wind." "The prey caught the slightest disturbance and dodged the arrow, avoiding his death." "But the arrow had been coated with toxin for such a scenario." "This is what real hunting is!" "If I have any chance of stealing Hisoka's badge, this is it!" "I have to track Hisoka without him knowing it and wait for my chance!" "Yesterday's ally is today's enemy." "Number 246, huh?" "Who is that anyway?" "I can't remember it at all." "Who's there?" "!" "Are you here to hunt me?" "Tonpa!" "So you are the one after me then!" "H-Hey wait, take it easy!" "You're wrong!" "You're not my target!" "Liar!" "L-Look!" "Here's the proof." "See, it's not your ID number!" "Now that you understand, how about it?" "You and I have been working together ever since the Third Phase..." "Why don't we team up again and..." "No thanks!" "I can't trust you and you're not my friend." "Oh, that's right." "The badge of anyone other than my target is still worth one point." "Don't be ridiculous!" "Teaming up with me is more beneficial than earning just one point." "For example..." "I could give you the information about your target." "I've got all the data for every applicant!" "So what do you say?" "!" "Get lost." "I don't team up with losers." "Hey, come on!" "Don't be so cold." "The target has been located." "Time for the next step in the plan." "Yeah..." "There's just one big problem..." "Hisoka moves around unlike these posts." "Even if I can catch him off guard... it's unlikely I'll be able to knock him out in one shot..." "And I don't have any poison to paralyze him." "So I guess I have to aim for the chance to catch Hisoka off guard to snatch his badge with this hook." "Which means I'm gonna have to be able to hit a moving target every single time, without missing!" "This isn't quite right either." "It just keeps moving back and forth in regular motion." "It's not much different from a stationary target." "Right..." "I should expect my target to dodge..." "If I can't catch a bird in flight," "I'll never be able to get Hisoka's badge." "Go!" "Well, I guess I shouldn't expect to get it right on my first try." "Okay!" "This is harder than I thought." "But if I can't do it..." "I'd say you pass." "Become a good Hunter." "Good boy." "Maybe I'm just not ready to face Hisoka." "You promised me, Aunt Mito." "Now I can take the Hunter Exam, right?" "Good bye!" "When I come back, I'm gonna be a Hunter!" "Aunt Mito kept her promise and let me take the Hunter Exam." "It's my turn to keep the promise." "It's small but I still have a chance." "I just gotta give it a try!" "All right!" "I'll do it!" "Just you wait, Hisoka!" "I'm gonna practice swinging thousand times!" "Well, I still got a load of time." "It's no use." "Maybe there's no way to actually catch a flying bird in the first place." "If I could at least predict its next move..." "Yeah, like that's possible." "But birds catch fish swimming around freely!" "How...?" "Yes!" "This is it!" "I can steal Hisoka's badge this way!" "I'll wait for the moment he attacks his target!" "That's when I'll strike!" "I can do it!" "This'll work for sure!" "Okay, now I've got perfect accuracy!" "All I have to do is find Hisoka." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Found x Hide x Caught Up!" "But where is Hisoka?" "! Did you hear it?"

"Did you get your hands on that badge yet?" "No, not yet." "I bet you don't even know who your target is, am I right?" "Huh?" "I could tell you if you want." "It's fine." "I'll just pick any three people." "Is that all you wanted to talk about?" "Yeah." "Then I'm hanging up." "How meddlesome of him." "You again?" "Shut up!" "Why do you keep following me, huh?" "!" "My stomach's killing me!" "Guess those berries I ate back there must've been rotten!" "Serves you right for being a pig!" "I thought you wanted to be a doctor..." "I'm begging you..." "Do you have any medicine?" "I don't think so." "You're probably faking it." "You are pretending to have a stomachache just to catch me off guard so you can steal my badge." "I am not faking it!" "I'm really in pain!" "I don't believe you." "That does sound really painful." "It does really hurt!" "When I think of your track record," "I can't help but to be skeptical." "C'mon, you gotta help me." "I'll tell you info about your target!" "The information first." "Who's this?" "Oh, that's Ponzu." "Ponzu?" "It's the girl who wears a hat." "Oh, that girl, huh?" "The girl will use any and all kinds of chemicals as weapons, good and bad." "But the way she uses it is quite simple." "She'll set a trap and just sit there and wait for the opponent to walk right into it." "She's kinda like a spider!" "So she's cute, but deadly huh?" "If you find Ponzu, pay close attention to the direction of the wind and the ground beneath your feet." "She already knows that someone is out to get her, so you can bet she's going to be ready and waiting." "Anything else?" "Nothing in particular." "She's just your average girl..." "If you can get the jump on her, you should have no problem winning." "The jump on her, huh...?" "That's not bad at all!" "I'm at my limit..." "Hurry, give me the medicine!" "Okay, I got it already." "You stay there." "Oh, come on, you're still suspicious?" "I already told you, you're not my target, didn't I?" "!" "There's no way I'd ever trust you." "Let's see... what would be a good medicine?" "Oh no!" "Got your badge!" "As I thought, your badge was in that brief case." "You two are in cahoots?" "!" "Yeah, that's right." "To reveal the secret..." "You've been my target all along." "What the?" "!" "But you even showed me your card!" "It was number 191!" "Oh yeah... this?" "That is the number of my target." "Tonpa's is this one." "You guys just switched cards?" "!" "Yeah!" "I can't believe you fell for such a simple trick!" "Are you kidding?" "!" "I had to have my stomach turned inside out to fool him!" "He wants to be a doctor, so if I was faking he would've known pretty quick." "But, thanks to that, you didn't see through me!" "You deceived me!" "Hey, you really should have learned already..." "I keep tellin' you, I'm Tonpa the Rookie Crusher!" "You bastard!" "Tonpa, meet back at the rendezvous!" "Right!" "Damn!" "Wait... you!" "Hey, hey, your badge is with the other guy!" "Shut up!" "I won't be satisfied unless I punch you in the face!" "You're losing it, man!" "In the Hunter Exam, it's common sense to team up!" "You only have yourself to blame for being deceived!" "I agree with you on the first part of that... but I can't forgive you with the second..." "The person who deceives is definitely the one to blame!" "Kurapika?" "!" "Why are you here?" "I thought maybe you could use a teammate, Leorio." "After all that, I'm back at the place I started from." "Over there!" "Oh yeah..." "From yesterday." "Um, are you okay?" "All right, better luck next year!" "So, I guess you're the one who's after me..." "I don't have anything against you personally." "But there's no way I'm gonna let you have my badge so easily." "If you're not scared of dying, then come and get me." "I guess I should be thankful for this phase." "I may not be able to challenge these guys in physical strength, but when it comes hunting, I won't lose to anyone..." "You are just my adorable prey." "Before you know what happened to you, you'll be in heaven." "Good bye." "This feeling..." "It's different from before." "It's him!" "Calm down." "Just calm down." "My only chance is when Hisoka gets his target, in that very moment only." "All I have to do is wait." "Until Hisoka makes his move." "Don't make the matter worse!" "Just hand over Leorio's badge!" "Why should I?" "!" "Give it back without any trouble and you won't get hurt." "That'll teach you to mess with Sommy, the monkey trainer!" "Leorio!" "That bastard!" "I'll go after the monkey!" "You go after Sommy, Leorio!" "Got it!" "I've got no choice." "Please don't trouble me too much, okay, monkey?" "Now, where's that badge?" "No!" "Kamuri!" "Sommy!" "Hey, Kurapika." "I took care of my guy." "How are you doing with yours?" "He's pretty stubborn." "Too bad for you!" "Kamuri only listens to me!" "K-Kamuri?" "!" "Why you little traitor!" "Seems to me like he's given up on you, Sommy." "Cuz, according to behavioral science, a monkey will always follow the alpha male." "Who you calling the king of the hill?" "!" "I didn't say anything like that!" "But, really, you were a great help, Kurapika!" "To think your target was Tonpa!" "There's no need for you to thank me." "When you were ambushed earlier," "I remained silent because that worked for my purpose." "Now that you mention it!" "Of course, that was because I decided if you were not good enough to avoid that level of ambush, then you wouldn't be good enough to team up." "But, I say you passed, though just barely." "Who do you think you are, anyway?" "!" "I think I should reconsider how I associate with you." "We're allies now." "I'll hang along for the four days we have left." "Oh, dear." "I'm not your master." "You can go wherever you like." "You actually think a monkey knows what you're saying?" "He can sense what I mean." "Whatever." "Listen, you don't have to take orders from humans anymore, okay?" "!" "Now go!" "There, that's better." "Come on out and show yourself." "I know you're there." "If you won't come here," "I'll hafta go over there." "No..." "I've got no choice now..." "Where did he come from?" "I challenge you to a duel." "You'll die." "Here's my chance!" "What's going on?" "Why doesn't Hisoka fight back?" "Why won't you attack me, Hisoka?" "!" "Because even if I just dodge your attacks... you are just gonna die without me doing anything." "All those Hemotropic Butterflies swarming around you tell me how deep your wounds are." "Someone already mortally wounded you, right?" "Let's stop this pointless act." "Though that may be, I still must fight!" "For the honor of the Bianu warrior." "Never heard of you." "I am one of the mighty warriors of the Bianu mercenaries." "Wherever there is a fight, you'll find us right in the thick of it." "Any one of us is worth a thousand other men." "Our role is to slash through the enemy." "We have the full honor of being the best in any battlefield." "And ever since the Exam started I've been feeling this way..." "I want to have a battle with you!" "I want to fulfill my wish before my life comes to its end." "So please..." "You must fight me!" "You know, I have no interest in a dead man." "Wh-What...?" "!" "You are already dead." "I can see it in your eyes." "Farewell, mighty warrior." "Hey, sorry about that." "I got careless and let him get away from me." "You big liar." "I bet he was begging you earlier on, saying something like," ""Please I gotta die honorably." Am I right?" "You know, you should stop feeling sorry for these pathetic losers." "Yeah, but I did feel sorry for him." "I mean, he was going to die either way." "Besides, you do that sometimes too, Hisoka." "You've let your enemies walk away without finishing them off." "Yeah, but only those who are worthy enough." "I let live only those who would be a shame to kill too soon." "So are you gonna take his badge?" "Yeah." "This makes six points for me." "So I don't need this one." "Whose badge is that?" "Good bye." "It belonged to the girl who was after me." "I was getting pissed off, so I had to give her a quick death." "You can have it." "I never get tired of watching that." "It's actually pretty hard on me to do it, you know?" "Feels better now though." "All right then, I'm gonna sleep until the time limit." "Good luck... and good night." "Yeah, good night." "Now then, I need two more points." "Guess it's time to start hunting." "Oh..." "I... found you!" "This is scary!" "I can feel Hisoka's intense blood thirst." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Hisoka x Crash x Gon!" "I've gotta do it!" "Did you hear it?"

"Right!" "Wait... you!" "You only have yourself to blame for being deceived!" "The person who deceives is definitely... the one to blame!" "But, really, you were a great help, Kurapika!" "I thought maybe you could use a teammate." "Now then, I need two more points." "Guess it's time to start hunting." "I found you." "He's on the move!" "He must've found his target!" "This is my chance!" "There they are." "It's a pity and waste, but..." "As I planned," "I have to attack at the opening Hisoka makes when he attacks." "That will be the only chance I'll get to steal his badge!" "There he is..." "Leorio!" "Kurapika?" "!" "Hisoka..." "What a coincidence." "Hey." "No way!" "I didn't think he was going to target Leorio and Kurapika." "What do I do?" "Do you think you're his target?" "It's possible." "There's no need to be so jumpy." "I only came here to ask you both a favor." "You see..." "I want enough badges to give me two more points." "How about you give me yours?" "Are you serious?" "!" "Well?" "You gotta be kidding!" "No way!" "Leorio!" "You just said you want enough for two points..." "So that means..." "Neither one of us is the target you're after, isn't that right?" "I'm the one asking the questions around here." "So are you giving me your badges or not?" "What happens if we refuse?" "I think you know the answer." "This is bad!" "I have to change my plan!" "I've gotta help them!" "I'll ask the question one more time." "Are you going to give me your badges, or aren't you?" "That depends on the conditions." "Right now, together we're carrying a total of four badges." "The first one is my own, and the second is the one I captured from my target during a battle earlier today." "Kurapika's done it..." "He's already got six points." "The third badge is only worth one point to either of us." "The fourth and final badge..." "That belongs to me." "Hmm..." "So the man in the white button up dress shirt doesn't have six points yet." "Lay off, will ya?" "!" "Of the four badges we've got, there are only two that could possibly be the number of your target." "It would have to be either my badge or the badge that's only worth one point to us." "I'll tell you why..." "Leorio's number is 403." "Tonpa, number sixteen, was targeting this one." "Moreover, Tonpa's number sixteen badge happened to be my target." "This phase has been designed so that targets don't overlap, so neither of these can be your target." "You're absolutely right, those two numbers are not my target." "And?" "The question is with the other two badges." "The badge that's only worth a single point to us, and my own badge." "If you want only the badge that's worth one point to us, you can have it." "But that's all I'm going to give you..." "Nothing more." "If you'd rather settle this by force," "I promise, it won't be like the time in the Milsy Wetlands..." "This time..." "I will fight you!" "By the way, what is your number?" "Four hundred and four!" "That's not what I picked." "So you're not my target." "All right." "You've got a deal." "I'll take that extra badge." "Who knows, it just might be the one I need." "I'll leave it right here." "There's no need to worry." "I won't move from here for a while." "I must say..." "They've really grown up fast these past few days." "However..." "They've still got a ways to go." "But really..." "Why is it so tempting to pick fruit before it's ripe?" "Too bad." "This isn't it either." "I still need one more point." "I'm sure glad that badge wasn't Hisoka's target!" "But, with this, I've only got one more chance!" "And that's when Hisoka finds his next victim!" "Wait a second!" "What am I gonna do if that person Hisoka finds doesn't wanna fight?" "That's right." "What if he just give it to him with no conditions?" "!" "I'm so stupid!" "I never even thought of that!" "Wh-What's that?" "!" "What's going on?" "What is this feeling?" "I'm scared..." "I don't like this!" "I don't want to be here!" "Really... this is too much." "Thanks to those two, I'm getting so excited." "I have to calm myself." "His bloodlust subsided?" "All right." "Time to go." "He's going to kill." "Though his bloodlust subsided, his mood is far from normal." "Hisoka's gonna attack the first person he sees." "It won't matter if they fight back or not." "This is my last chance at getting Hisoka's badge!" "How am I gonna do this?" "If I just keep following him," "I might be too late when Hisoka finds his prey." "I've gotta find his next victim first!" "There!" "I've gotta hurry!" "There's only about 30 or so seconds left before Hisoka spots him!" "Hisoka will attack him right away." "I'm gonna hafta find the exact spot where they'll collide and aim for it!" "This is it!" "Okay!" "I can do this." "He's coming!" "Hisoka!" "Come and get me!" "I did it!" "I got Hisoka's badge!" "I finally got it!" "About 7000." "Do you know what that number represents?" "That's how many chances I've had to nail you." "It also happens to be the number of times you swung that fishing rod of yours." "Each time you threw out your line, you left yourself wide open." "But rarely have I ever seen skill and concecntration like that." "That last swing was the best of them all." "But, you have to learn to watch your back too for next time." "Oh, and one more thing..." "Though I may not act it, I do know my manners..." "But I wanted to thank you for what you did back at the Battleship Island." "Thanks a lot, kid." "See ya!" "Damn!" "What an amazing little kid!" "Though he lost his chance by not being able to let go of his friends, he got over that naive sentiment in a little time." "Hisoka!" "That was quite a surprise." "You must've been tracking me for a while, just waiting for the right opportunity." "You struck at the very moment I attacked and had an opening." "Was that stalking technique self-taught?" "It was a work of art." "You're as good as the beasts in the wild." "And your timing was perfect too." "You mingled your own bloodlust with mine when I was going for the kill." "It was masterful." "It looks to me like you can't move at all." "That blow dart must've been poisoned with something that weakens all your muscles." "It could take you around ten days to make a full recovery." "But I trust you can get better enough to move in four days." "See ya later." "Wait!" "You didn't come here... to get your badge back... from me?" "Nope." "I just came to applaud you!" "The guy with this hat was my target, so I've already got all six points." "I don't need them." "Well, I don't want them either!" "Aw, don't be that way." "Consider it my favor to you." "You just have to return the favor someday." "I should be going now." "I don't wanna owe you anything!" "I return this now!" "I refuse." "Right now, you are being kept alive by me." "I want to see you become an opponent that's truly worth killing." "And until that day, you continue to owe your life to me." "When you're capable of striking me in the face like that," "I'll be happy to take my badge back." "But until then, I'm just gonna have to let you hold onto it." "Maybe my precious toy was broken by this." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Damage x Reunion x Courage." "The most precious things are also the most fragile." "Did you hear it?"

"It's been like that since the beginning." "Perhaps all I did was trouble others." "As long as I stay like this, even if I get badges, I'd still..." "Good morning." "So I guess you are alone out here, too." "Don't you get lonely?" "Oh, I see." "You've got some friends with you..." "Friends..." "I sure miss mine." "You've been following me since the start of the Fourth Phase, but I've known all this time, you know?" "Come on out!" "No matter how long you stalk me, you're never gonna be able to catch me off guard!" "Let's play already." "That's it." "Get a little more scared, a little more tired..." "I'm a patient guy."

"Doesn't this guy ever sleep?" "Well, if you won't come out I guess I'll hafta go get you." "You know, this kinda sucks for me 'cause your badge is probably only worth one point..." "He's coming my way!" "I didn't see this coming!" "What am I gonna do now?" "!" "Fight him?" "It's not like I'd lose, right?" "!" "He's just a kid, after all!" "But it's better if I play it safe." "I'll retreat for now and..." "No, let's just get out of this place." "No, wait!" "If I did that my brothers would get mad at me!" "I hafta get that badge from this kid here!" "Sorry for being late." "Hey, guys!" "So how did everything go?" "Must have finished some time ago..." "Uh, the thing is..." "You idiot!" "You're too scared to fight a kid like that without us?" "!" "It's..." "It's not like that, guys!" "Hurting kids is just cruel, right?" "That's why I was planning to steal his badge after he fell asleep." "You liar!" "All right, all right!" "Whatever you say!" "If that's what you guys want..." "I'll go kill him." "Listen up, kid." "Why won't you hand me your badge?" "I won't do anything to you if you just comply without making trouble." "Idiot!" "You see?" "I tried to warn you." "I got you right on the solar plexus." "That's gotta hurt like hell, huh?" "What do you think of this, guys?" "Seems you went easy on him." "You always were such a nice kid, lmori." "So you are number 198." "Wh-What the...?" "When did you do that?" "It's too bad, this number is one lower than the badge I'm looking for." "Hey, maybe that means badge 199... belongs to one of you two guys." "This brat." "He's no ordinary kid." "Umori!" "Into formation." "On my signal." "Right." "What?" "!" "Up there!" "Stay right where you are." "My nails are sharper than blades." "Huh?" "This guy's number 197!" "Aw, man!" "My hunch never works when it comes to this kinda thing." "Hey, you!" "Do you have badge 199?" "Y-Yeah." "Umori!" "Here!" "Thank you!" "Now that I've got the badge I need, what I should do with 197 and 198 is..." "Here!" "And this one goes..." "Over there!" "You've still got four days... you should be able to find them by then." "See ya!" "Damn it!" "I knew it was a good idea to hang back and watch those guys." "But y'know, I never expected Killua would be the one to deal with my target for me." "Thanks to him, I got badge 197 without even having to..." "Oh?" "!" "That was stupid!" "We could've gotten seriously hurt!" "Hey, Tonpa, you listening to me?" "!" "So this is how my last day is gonna end?" "!" "Really, where in the world did my little princess go?" "Your princess?" "Maybe I should go back to where we started." "The ones that passed might already be there." "I sincerely doubt that." "An important factor in this phase is that even if you've had your badge stolen, you can always try to steal it back." "So even if you've collected the six points necessary to pass, you still have to protect them until the time's up." "We all finish this phase at the same time." "I see." "It still might be worth it to take a look, though..." "There are only 20 hours left." "Anyone who has already obtained the six points required to pass this phase would probably want to stay as close as possible to the rallying point." "Because that's how I feel." "All right, then." "Shall we check it out?" "Well..." "I suppose she won't be anywhere easy to find, after all." "But she's going to have to show up here sooner or later." "Our chances of finding her are going to be better if we agree on a time to meet back here and split up for now." "And wouldn't the chance be better with three of us?" "!" "Gon?" "!" "I guess we all had the same idea, huh?" "I've been up there for a while, watching a bunch of people going by." "Really?" "!" "Aw man!" "I should've been watching from up in a tree!" "Impossible." "Leave that kind of trick to Gon." "Gon, did you manage to get the number badge you were after?" "Well... kinda." "Shoot, that means I'm the only one who hasn't!" "Gon!" "My target is a girl called Ponzu!" "You didn't see her from up there, did you?" "Nope." "You didn't, huh." "That means..." "It's possible someone else might have taken her out by now." "Or maybe, she had an accident that knocked her unconscious." "Another possibility is that she's hidden her badge somewhere, and has already been killed." "Hey, what use is there in making me depressed?" "I'm merely debating the possibilities here." "Hey, if I remember correctly, Ponzu smells like chemicals, right?" "!" "That's right!" "Maybe you could track her by following her scent." "True, I did hear that Ponzu uses chemicals as her weapon..." "Think you can do it, Gon?" "Sure!" "I'll give it a try." "That's what I came here for." "She's in there?" "Yep." "So, my little princess is inside that hole..." "All right." "Wait, Leorio, you're not going in there alone, are you?" "Of course, I am." "She is my target, after all." "You guys wait here for me." "I can't let you do that!" "She is the type who sets traps and waits, right?" "Going alone is too risky!" "So what, you want all three of us to go?" "Look, this is my test." "I can do this alone." "Leorio!" "All right, how about this?" "!" "We'll give you thirty minutes!" "If you're not back in thirty minutes, we're coming in after you." "No, forget it!" "If that happens, you two head back to the rallying point." "Then tell me what was the point of us teaming up together?" "!" "Fine, we're disbanding the team!" "I don't like that!" "What's wrong with you guys?" "!" "I told you not to come with me!" "Why won't you listen to me?" "I'm staying on my own accord!" "You don't have problem with that, do you?" "Well, how is that, Leorio?" "Do what you want!" "Hang onto this for me." "Sure!" "Kurapika!" "Gon!" "Stay back!" "Snakes!" "Leorio!" "Don't come in!" "Leorio!" "Leorio..." "Leorio!" "There's not much time left in the Fourth Phase!" "Is Leorio gonna make it?"

"He's got dozens of bite marks all over his body." "If they were venomous..." "This is a kind of Tsuchinoko Viper." "Individually, they are not really venomous." "But he's been bitten by too many of them." "At any rate, we'd better administer first aid." "I'll need some light." "Yeah." "I'm gonna borrow this!" "We're going to have to give him an antidote right away." "I can't find anything that looks like an antidote inside this case." "What I'm doing isn't gonna work either!" "He's got too many bites!" "We have to get him out and to a doctor soon!" "Yeah." "Okay, one, two... three!" "We'll carry him all the way back to the rallying point like this, okay?" "Uh huh." "I wouldn't do that if I were you." "Believe me, you don't want to take another step towards the exit of this cave." "Why not?" "They started moving... you hear them, don't you?" "Those are the sounds of Bourbon's trap." "A trap?" "!" "That's right." "If anyone that sets a foot into this cave tries to go out..." "Countless multitudes of snakes will attack at the same time!" "Though the venom from a single bite won't kill you, it's the end if you're bitten by this many of them." "You'll be paralyzed like Leorio there and eventually die." "And this is Bourbon the Snake Charmer's trap." "We can never get out of here." "Bourbon!" "You're after our number badges, aren't you?" "!" "If that's what you want they're yours." "Please release the trap right now!" "Please, Bourbon!" "You can have all the badges I've got too later." "Please let us out of here!" "Bourbon!" "Please, Bourbon!" "It's no use." "There's absolutely no way he'd release this trap." "Absolutely not?" "How in the world could you be so sure?" "Because..." "He's already dead." "He's dead?" "Then he was done in by the snakes, too?" "!" "No, these snakes are his weapons that he used to get this far." "I don't think he'd be foolish enough to fall victim to his own trap." "Then..." "That's right." "It was me..." "I killed him." "How I did it is a trade secret." "I'm guessing that he must've been your target then, right?" "And you killed him to get his number badge?" "We've got no choice." "Gon, I'll leave Leorio to you." "I'll search Bourbon's things." "Okay." "At any rate, nothing will happen if we just stand around here!" "Kurapika!" "I'm all right." "But..." "This is just..." "It's impossible to try to check his belongings." "If you touch him, all the snakes will attack you." "When you try to leave this place or touch Bourbon's body..." "It seems those two are the conditions to make all the snakes attack you." "One poison pitted against another... right?" "He's got welts on his skin you'd get from Neurotoxic Bees." "The cause of death was probably anaphylactic shock." "When a person gets stung by a bee, the body produces an immune response to combat its venom." "But because of this, when a person is stung by the same kind of bees, they'll experience an allergic reaction." "This is also known as anaphylactic shock, which when it becomes intense, it becomes lethal." "I'm impressed, you figured it out." "Nobody knew about it until now." "I guess I can't call it a trade secret anymore." "As you've guessed, Bourbon was my target." "I tracked his path, made sure he got inside here..." "And I flooded it with sleeping gas." "Sleeping gas?" "Yeah." "I knew he used methods similar to mine." "So, I used the gas to put him and all of his snakes to sleep." "I waited a few minutes for the gas to take effect before going in myself." "He was out cold, but he'd already set his trap at this point already." "When I tried to take his badge, all these snakes came pouring down on me from the ceiling." "I got kind of freaked out." "Apparently, the gas I sprayed from the entrance was too far away to reach all of the snakes hiding inside cracks and crevices." "Like you just now, I managed to jump out of the way so I didn't get bitten." "But at that exact moment, my instincts activated my attack." "If I scream or fall or get any kind of shock, these bees will attack anybody who's near me." "I never thought he'd die." "How was I suppose to know that he'd been stung before?" "And because of his trap, I couldn't even treat his wounds." "Okay, you can come back now." "The real issue here is that even with Bourbon dead, his snakes' attack signal is still in effect." "We can't ask him the code to release the trap anymore, nor can we check him." "Even if we just wanted to forfeit the badge and get out." "As you can see, there is no way out." "I've given up hope and resigned myself to wait for the Exam Committee to come and rescue me." "You mean they could actually find us even in a place like this?" "!" "Oh, you didn't know?" "You still have your l.D. badges, don't you?" "Each one of them has a transmitter attached to the back of it." "They use those badges to keep track of our whereabouts." "So if the applicants don't make it back after the time limit expires, they'll come searching for you using that badge." "They are not coming right away?" "!" "Of course not." "We are still in the middle of the Exam." "But Leorio's condition is getting worse as each minute goes by!" "Isn't there any way we can contact them?" "!" "If there was, I would've tried it a long time ago!" "How long do you think I've been down here?" "!" "Leorio..." "The Committee won't do anything until this phase is officially over." "As applicants, we're expected to deal with any accidents that happen during the Exam by ourselves." "Makes sense, doesn't it?" "In the actual Hunter's actions, there are gonna be accidents." "They will help us this time because this is still an Exam..." "In real life, you would have to solve any problems on your own." "That being said, there's nothing I can do anymore." "Luckily, this is still part of the Exam." "Tomorrow morning, the Committee will come and pick us up." "I suggest you give up for this year's Exam and wait for the help." "But Leorio won't make it as it is!" "That's nobody's fault but his own." "I did properly warn him, you know." "Yet, he still..." "What?" "!" "That just won't do!" "Thirty minutes from now, my friends are coming in here!" "That's not my fault." "What do you expect me to do about it?" "!" "If you don't wanna die, just stay here and do nothing." "What're you doing?" "!" "Kurapika!" "Gon!" "Stay back!" "Snakes!" "I can't believe he'd go near the entrance knowing this would happen." "All you can do now is pray his strength will hold out till tomorrow." "That's the only chance he's got." "No... there's one other possibility." "And there's a good chance it'll work, too." "But if he doesn't have what I think he has..." "We'll have another victim on our hands!" "Kurapika..." "Take care of Leorio for me." "I'm sure it's there." "Hey, wait a second!" "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "Did you hear what I said?" "!" "Wait, don't!" "Gon..." "Who... is this kid?" "Found it!" "Kurapika...!" "Gon!" "Good job!" "Gon, how are you doing?" "!" "T Treat..." "Leorio...first!" "Got it!" "You wait there!" "I can't believe you dove into a swarm of venomous snakes hoping you'd find an antidote!" "You didn't even know if he had it!" "There was a good possibility that he'd have one with him." "Poison isn't a very good negotiating tool if you don't have an antidote to go along with it." "Yeah, but it was still a crazy thing to do!" "Crazy, huh?" "But... thanks to Gon's craziness, Leorio's gonna be all right." "Hang in there." "Tonpa, wait a minute!" "Stop this!" "There's no point in attacking me!" "Kenmi!" "I'll have you know, your wimpy martial arts are no match for me." "Like I said, this is pointless!" "Sorry about this." "You're not actually my target, but I'm afraid I'm gonna hafta take your badge anyway." "Th-There's no point!" "Heh!" "Never underestimate Tonpa!" "I didn't taken this Exam 35 times for nothing..." "Hey, tell me where you hid your badge!" "That's why I've been telling you it's pointless!" "I lost my badge to Hanzo a long time ago!" "What?" "!" "You are so useless!" "I was lucky." "This one fell from the sky." "If I pass this phase, all that's left is the final Exam." "I could care less about crushing rookies anymore." "But why does Hanzo have to beat me to the punch everywhere I go?" "!" "Damn you!" "You okay?" "!" "Oh, yeah..." "I'm feeling much better." "I still feel pins and needles all over though." "Guess I owe you one, Gon!" "Not really." "You risked getting bitten by those snakes to warn us not come into the cave." "That makes us even." "That just leaves Ponzu..." "Thank you." "You're the one who treated me, right?" "But there is no need for you to thank me for that." "I only did what anyone would've done in that situation." "Yeah, but because of you..." "Like I said, I didn't do anything to be thanked, okay?" "!" "But still..." "Look, forget it!" "What's done is done!" "Let's just leave it at that!" "Um..." "Ponzu?" "What is it?" "Do you still have any of that sleeping gas left?" "Yeah, but..." "Then how about..." "Trading it for this?" "Huh?" "It's Bourbon's badge." "This will give you the six points you need, right, Ponzu?" "Sure it will." "But none of that matters as long as we're stuck in here." "Heh, don't worry." "I've got an idea to get us out of here." "Really?" "!" "Yeah." "So..." "Do you wanna trade with me?" "True, the gas'll be a lot more effective if we release it from in here than from the entrance." "From this place, I'd say it's possible we'd need around only five minutes for the gas to permeate and knock out all the snakes." "But, it's still five minutes!" "Are you absolutely sure you can hold your breath all that time?" "!" "Nine minutes and forty-four seconds!" "That's my personal record for the longest I've ever held my breath!" "Yeah, but I'm sure that was when you were totally healthy." "You body still hasn't recovered totally yet, you know?" "!" "You gotta trust me." "I will get you all outta here, no matter what!" "But still!" "Ponzu... I understand how worried you are." "But for now, let's leave this situation in Gon's hands, okay?" "He's capable of handling it." "I'll guarantee it." "So, please trust him on this." "I believe in Gon as well." "I've trusted him before, and I'll do it in the future too." "All right then." "Okay." "When I give you the signal, start releasing the sleeping gas." "Since I left my home on Whale Island, I've met so many people." "When Hisoka left me those badges, I wasn't sure whether I should take them or not." "But... I still want to be with my friends..." "I don't want to part from them!" "Plus..." "I'm gonna become a Hunter!" "All right!" "Here you go, Ponzu." "This is yours now, just as I promised." "I've gotta get going." "It's up to you now, Leorio." "Gon?" "It seems like his head's cleared up now." "He's been unusually tense." "I didn't know you were up." "I came to a minute ago." "There's your target..." "Yeah..." "Good thing you woke up early." "Yeah, I know." "I'm sorry l can't wake you up." "I'm really not a prince type." "This makes six points." "I wonder where Gon was going in such a hurry." "Probably..." "That marks the end of the Fourth Phase!" "All applicants!" "Please make their way to the starting point as soon as possible." "You have one hour from now to get back to the starting point." "Anyone who cannot make it back before then will be deemed disqualified, so please bear that in mind." "Once you've reached the landing site, the badges cannot change hands anymore." "You will be disqualified on the spot if such action is confirmed." "Please be careful." "Damn it!" "As long as I've still got a shot, I'm gonna fight to the last second!" "My second point!" "What the... ?" "!" "Get away from me!" "My badge is gone!" "It was you, wasn't it?" "!" "Give it back!" "Well..." "I guess that's enough... for this year's Exam." "The Fourth Phase is now over." "All applicants should be making their way to the landing site." "I repeat..." "The Fourth Phase is over." "Everyone return to the landing site immediately." "Finally, it's time for the Final Phase!" "Huh?" "Why does everyone have a dangerous look on them?" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Chairman x Interview x Written Exam!" "Hey, no cheating, Leorio! Did you hear it?"

"So did you, Killua!" "I had no problem getting these." "How about you?" "Well..." "It was kinda..." "I bet you had to get your six points by going after three random applicants, right?" "!" "Oh well, can't say I blame you." "After all, your target was Hisoka." "No matter how many lives you have, it wouldn't be enough." "Here it is." "No way, you actually got Hisoka's badge?" "!" "Yeah." "I did get it all right, but..." "Wow, that is unbelievable!" "To think you could actually get Hisoka's badge." "What kind of magic did you have to use?" "!" "Well, uh..." "Actually... he gave it to me." "He gave it to you?" "!" "It's nothing you should worry about." "I don't get it, what do you mean?" "Well, if you don't wanna tell me..." "I guess I can't force you to." "It's not that I don't want to, but..." "Well, whatever happened, all that matters is that you passed!" "We both made it this far." "We should keep doing our best till the end." "Regardless of how you feel, I hear the next one is the last test." "Yeah." "Hey you two..." "A meeting's been called for all remaining applicants." "I bet they're gonna tell us about the final test!" "Come on, Killua!" "I wonder what it'll be?" "I'm excited!" "Hey, wait for me, Gon!" "First, I'd like to commend you on your hard work." "The nine of you here make up all who passed the Fourth Phase." "I'm a little surprised to discover that six out of the nine are rookies." "This year has been extraordinary!" "On average, one rookie passes the Hunter Exam every three years or so." "But there's something like a cycle to these things." "After about ten years or so of Exams with no one passing... suddenly there's a year like this one where we have so many talented young applicants." "So that makes us the talented young applicants!" "You shouldn't say that yourself." "For one thing, we haven't exactly passed the Exam yet." "There's nothing to be nervous about." "We've made it this far; we've just as good as passed this thing." "I mean, after all, this is the Final Phase, you know." "And if we manage to pass it, then we will become members of the elite society of Hunters." "Isn't that right, Mr. Chairman?" "Gee, you sure talk a lot for a ninja." "The Final Phase will be taking place in three day's time at the Hunter Association Hotel." "until then, I suggest you try and get some rest." "Just one question: what's the Final Phase gonna be?" "It's... a... secret!" "What the..." "Gives you something to look forward to!" "Last time we were on this airship, it was completely packed." "Now with only nine of us on board, it sure feels empty." "What that old man Netero was saying before," "I sure didn't like the sound of it..." "I wonder what he's got in store for us." "At this stage, there's no use worrying about stuff like that." "Would you stop being such a downer?" "Everyone here is all tense, so the least you could do is lighten the mood." "Oh..." "I didn't realize." "Besides, we've all worked so hard to get this far." "Wouldn't it be nice if we could all pass together?" "That's unlike you." "What did you say?" "Back when we were in Trick Tower, you said you would do anything to pass the test, even if it meant fighting your friends." "So what?" "That was then, this is now!" "ln any case, it's pointless for us rookies to speculate." "How about we just ask someone who's gone through it already?" "True." "Sounds reasonable." "No, not me." "I failed the Fourth Phase three years ago." "This is the first time I've made it to the Final Phase myself." "Well, that was useless." "Thanks for nothing." "Back off, man!" "How about you?" "I thought you might know something about the Final Phase." "Oh yeah, your name's Bodoro, right?" "I'm sure you must know something!" "They say wisdom comes with age!" "Last year, I didn't make it past the First Phase." "That's no help." "However, I think I can predict the topic for our final test." "Yeah, like hell you can." "Just listen." "If you think back to what the tests were about so far, you'll probably arrive at the same conclusion as me." "The First Phase tested our physical abilities." "They were trying to determine if we had the strength and endurance required to become a Hunter." "The Second Phase tested our powers of observation." "For the first task of roasting a pig, we had to find the weak points of the pigs' unique physique." "And the sushi challenged us to figure out just what sushi is from the proctor's words alone." "And what about the Third Phase?" "Well, the first half of the Third Phase was the Trick Tower, and our experience varied depending on the route we took." "But I think basically, it was supposed to test our mental power." "That's certainly true." "With a 72-hour time limit to go through that maze-like tower, we were all pushed to the edge." "Next, on Battleship Island, our cooperative abilities were tested." "And as for the Fourth Phase, I think it's obvious..." "It tested our all around skills." "Enough with the lecture." "Just go ahead and tell us what you're thinking already." "What's the Final Phase gonna be?" "You still don't get it, do you?" "There's only one thing left." "One area that we haven't been tested on in any of the Phases." "What?" "!" "What is this thing we have not been tested on, old man?" "!" "What's left is the wide range of knowledge required of all Hunters." "Which means, a written exam!" "We've come all this way... for a written exam?" "Certainly as a Hunter, one might encounter a situation that requires expert knowledge in a variety of subjects like history or biology." "Y-You're right." "A thorough exam should address both physical and academic ability." "This really sucks!" "Didn't think they would leave the toughest one for me in the end." "I haven't done any studying in years!" "I know!" "There's a library... right on this airship!" "All right!" "Let's go!" "Well, I really had no idea and was just talking nonsense, but..." "Oh, well!" "ls that so?" "What's the matter?" "Aren't you going to study?" "I don't think a little studying at this point would do me any good." "I'm not very good at using my head anyway." "I guess we can all do our own thing." "Killua's taking a break in the cafeteria." "I see." "Gon..." "During the Fourth Phase..." "What exactly happened?" "When we ran together at ZeviI Island, I noticed you were acting different." "It stuck with me." "You know, my target was Hisoka..." "I see..." "What terrible luck." "I waited for the second he let his guard down, and snagged his badge at once." "But someone else was tracking me, too." "My badge was taken just like that." "And later, Hisoka came looking for me." "He gave my badge back to me." "And he intentionally left his own badge with me." "He said it was a favor that I'd have to repay someday." "When I told him I didn't want it... he sent me flying." "And then..." "When you can strike me in the face like that, I'll be happy to take my badge back." "But until then, I'm gonna let you hold onto it." "I was so angry with myself, and mortified that I couldn't do anything about it." "After that..." "I felt so wretched and miserable..." "I felt my power was far from what it takes." "I felt pathetic passing the Exam like that..." "I guess I wanted at least to be of help to someone else." "And that's why I came looking for you and Leorio." "I see..." "Thanks a lot." "I feel better now that I've got that off my chest." "That frustration and lack of confidence..." "If you want to get over the way you felt, you have to become a Hunter." "It's something you said yourself before." "Yeah." "Leorio and I would never have made it this far... without your help." "And for that, I'm truly grateful." "So am I, of course!" "Let's both become Hunters together, Gon!" "Yeah." "Thank you, Kurapika." "Whatever the case, our expectations were wrong in a good way." "Who would've have thought we'd have nine applicants in the Final Phase?" "This guy was the most unexpected one of all!" "I was sure he'd be the first to fail!" "Could it be you're still mad at him for seeing you with nothing but a bath towel on?" "Of course I am!" "Even if he passes the Hunter Exam..." "I'll make sure to crush him myself!" "By the way, Mr. Chairman, what have you got planned for the Final Phase?" "That's right." "We haven't heard anything about it so far." "Even though the rookies look promising this year, whether they make it all the way or not depends on what the Final Phase will be." "Yes." "About that..." "Actually, I need to make a little preparation." "A preparation?" "!" "What do you think he's planning to do?" "Beats me..." "I can never figure out what the Chairman is thinking." "In the year 289, the Sumi tribe made an expedition south, and in 295, they united the equatorial countries, thereby founding the great Balmos empire..." "There's no way I'll be able to memorize all this in the next three days!" "What are you doing?" "Nothing..." "Just preparing my trump card..." "Hey you!" "Do you have any idea... how long it took me to make one cheat sheet?" "!" "If you've got enough time for a stupid thing like that, then you've got enough time to study more seriously!" "I would if I could!" "What is this?" "Get up!" "You cheater!" "I had no idea you were this desperate!" "Do you wanna become a Hunter by cheating?" "!" "Am I wrong?" "!" "Once I've got my Hunter license, who's gonna care?" "!" "Hey!" "Where you goin'?" "It's obvious, isn't it?" "To the proctor's room." "You're not thinking..." "If the Final Phase is actually going to be a written exam, then there's gotta be a copy of it somewhere." "Don't tell me you're cheating too?" "!" "For a ninja, any means necessary to complete the mission is justifiable." "Farewell!" "Hey, get back here you!" "You're not going anywhere without me!" "Hey, get off!" "C'mon!" "Get off of me, you poop hat!" "I won't let you go alone!" "Attention please, all applicants..." "When your number is called, please proceed directly to the conference room one-by-one." "C-Could it be..." "The Final Phase?" "!" "It's..." "It's too soon!" "No, fate has forsaken me!" "Attention, will applicant number 44 please report to the conference room." "Welcome, please take a seat." "Don't tell me this actually is the Final Phase?" "Nah, I just want to ask you a few questions for my reference." "Now then..." "Please tell me your reasons for wanting to become a Hunter." "Having a license would be a very useful thing." "Oh, really?" "For example?" "For example, if I happen to kill someone," "I'd more than likely get away with it." "And Blacklist Hunters are rarely even questioned when they kill wanted fugitives." "Isn't that right?" "I understand." "Now of these applicants, who do you think is the most intriguing?" "I guess it would have to be him." "Even though this kid, number 405, shows promise." "Number 99 takes the cigar..." "I'd love to fight him once." "Just one last question then..." "Which applicant would you least like to fight?" "That applies to him too, but for now, this kid is the one I don't want to fight just yet." "For your information..." "The person I really want to fight the most right now happens to be you." "All right thanks, that'll be all." "That's one sly, old fox!" "He's so unguarded, he dumbfounded me." "C'mon, you go and ask him!" "You!" "Just go." "Here!" "Ah, why me?" "!" "How was the Final Phase?" "It was a piece of cake." "What the..." "Wh-What was it about?" "!" "It's... a... secret!" "Damn it..." "Next is number 53." "I'm..." "I'm not ready for this." "Okay, which applicant do you find the most intriguing?" "Him." "As far as I can tell, he has the best all around skill." "All right then... and who would you least like to face in a fight?" "Hisoka." "To be honest, I wouldn't stand a chance against him in a battle." "Thanks, you're dismissed." "Um, you mean this isn't the Final Phase?" "No, this is only an interview." "I guess that means..." "The Final Phase won't start till we reach our destination!" "If I stay up all night, I can make enough cheat sheets to pass!" "So I take it you have no intention of actually studying?" "!" "Who is the most intriguing?" "Intriguing?" "I don't know if that's the right word or not, but... but you can't help but notice him." "Who would you least like to fight against?" "I don't want to fight these two." "It is not honorable for a martial artist to fight children." "Who is the most intriguing?" "Who would you least like to fight against?" "Who is the most intriguing?" "I'm paying close attention to Hisoka for lots of reasons." "{\fad(0,300)}Who would you least like to fight against?" "I couldn't fight against any of these three." "Who would you least like to fight against?" "He's the only one." "I've seen plenty of brutality and violence in my time... but I've never come across someone as dangerous." "That's why I wouldn't want to fight this guy." "Who is the most intriguing?" "Him, for positive reasons." "And him, for negative ones." "{\fad(0,300)}Who would you least like to fight against?" "Given the right reason, I'd fight against anyone." "But without good reason, I won't fight at all." "{\fad(0,300)}Who would you least like to fight against?" "It's Gon." "I owe him a lot." "Plus, I really want him to pass the Exam." "So I really wouldn't want to fight against him." "You're the last one." "So tell me, why do you want to become a Hunter?" "I dunno." "I just came to kill some time." "Were you able to kill some time?" "Well, the tests are really boring, but the people who come for this are interesting." "And who do you find the most intriguing?" "I guess it would hafta be Hisoka." "And who is the last person you'd wanna fight with?" "This guy." "It wouldn't be much fun fighting him." "You're not allowed to lie." "You could tell?" "These interviews are going to help me create the Final Phase." "If you don't answer honestly now, it'll mess things up later on." "The one who intrigues me most is actually Gon." "I'm not sure why exactly." "I can't really explain it, but it's always fun to be around him." "I never get bored." "And that's why..." "I don't wanna fight him." "Have you become friends?" "It's not like that." "I wonder." "Well, that's fine..." "You're free to go." "This is what you used to steal Hisoka's badge, isn't it?" "!" "Yeah." "But right after that, someone got me and took it away from me!" "That's pretty stupid!" "You know, I still can't tell if you're amazing or if you're a moron!" "Moron isn't nice at all." "I'm hurt." "Like you're sensitive or something." "Aren't you the one who fought against that Hisoka?" "!" "It's a sure sign of your boldness." "Honestly, I have to change my opinion about you!" "To tell you the truth, I was actually really scared." "The only reason it worked was because of all my training." "Training?" "Training." "Well now, it looks like they're having lots of fun." "Yeah, the two of them don't seem to be feeling any pressure about the Final Phase." "They're just doing what comes naturally." "How about you learn a thing or two from them, Leorio?" "Shut up, already." "He did it..." "He actually did it..." "That was just a fluke, really." "Hey, Gon!" "I see." "It got more one sided than I expected!" "What are you working on here?" "I'm making a chart for the Final Phase." "What do you mean "a chart"?" "Don't tell me, you're gonna make them fight each other in a tournament?" "!" "That's exactly right!" "Take a look!" "Chairman, are you serious about this?" "!" "I sure am." "No kidding." "Your eyes say you're serious." "Your attention, please." "Thank you for your patience." "ln a few minutes, we will be arriving at the site for the Final Phase." "This is it." "All right, I've been cramming non stop for this." "I am prepared for anything!" "The Final Phase is going to be a one-on-one fighting tournament!" "What, a t-tournament?" "!" "You mean, it's not gonna be a written exam?" "!" "Written exam?" "Where did you ever get an idea like that from?" "Here's the chart that shows who's fighting who in the tournament." "This is..." "Could it be..." "For this year's Exam..." "Only one of us... passes?" "!" "This is it, the first round of the Final Phase!" "It's a deck of cards versus the Kurta's two swords!"

"No matter what." "Don't get the wrong idea." "To pass the Final Phase... all you have to do is win one match." "In other words, in this tournament set up, the winners of the matches get out of it and the losers advance to the next round." "So getting to the top of this chart means you failed." "Let me get this straight:" "You're saying that only one of us is gonna fail?" "Exactly." "Moreover, everyone is given at least two chances to win." "What a relief!" "You scared me there." "Then this will be a cinch!" "Kurapika!" "You gotta lose to Hisoka, no matter what!" "You hear me?" "Be quiet for a second, will you?" "!" "Besides, you can't be sure if this set up is really a cinch or not until you actually fight." "Okay, everyone..." "If you have any questions, we'll have time to address them later." "Right now, I'd like to announce the matches for the each one of you." "Please listen for your name and your opponent." "The first match will be... applicant #44, Hisoka, versus applicant #404, Kurapika!" "The second match... applicant #405, Gon, versus applicant 294, Hanzo!" "The third match will be between the loser of the first match and number 191, Bodoro." "The fourth match..." "Now then, are there any questions?" "What is the reason behind the match-up not being fair?" "Hmm..." "Of course, you'd ask that." "The matches have been determined based on your individual grades from all previous phases." "Put it simply, the higher your grades are, the more chances are given for winning." "That doesn't seem right to me." "Oh?" "Could you explain to us a little more about how you graded us?" "Afraid not!" "And why not?" "!" "Our grading system is strictly confidential." "I can't be telling you everything." "Hmm... I guess I could explain a little bit about how we do it..." "Basically, when we grade an applicant, we consider three main factors..." "There's physical ability." "Mental acuity." "And overall impression..." "Those three are the components." "When we evaluate physical ability, we're looking at your overall agility, flexibility, endurance, and powers of perception." "For mental acuity, it's the overall mental strength, adaptability, decision making ability, and imaginative qualities." "This is pretty big deal, huh?" "Huh?" "Yeah." "Be quiet." "But, in the end, all these serve only as references." "Since you all have remained till the Final Phase it goes without saying you passed on those." "What's truly important is overall impression." "Overall impression?" "!" "This signifies that something-- that potential that can't be measured by the other two factors I mentioned." "In a manner of speaking, it's about what it takes to become a Hunter." "What it takes to become a Hunter, you say?" "When I take that and your voices from the interviews into consideration, the result is what you see." "That's all." "Killua?" "It's nothing." "I should be ranked above Gon if it's just about the grades of Exam." "Does this mean I don't have as much potential as he does?" "As I thought, this isn't just a simple test." "Killua must be feeling a lot of pressure from that explanation." "Are there any more questions?" "Yeah!" "How do we fight each other?" "Are there any rules we hafta follow?" "The rules for the matches are very simple." "You can use weapons." "There are no restrictions." "You'll win when your opponent admits defeat." "However..." "If you kill your opponent, you will immediately be disqualified." "At that point, the rest of the group will automatically pass and the test will be over." "ls that clear?" "If anyone's gonna kill somebody, it'll be that creep." "Are there any final questions?" "!" "Then I'll turn it over to you, Mr. Chairman." "Considering there're tens of thousands of applicants, you have accomplished an amazing feat by making it this far." "As the Chairman of the Exam Committee... I have an utmost respect for all nine applicants of the Final Phase!" "You are now only one win away from joining the great league of Hunters." "I wish you all the best of luck in your matches." "Now let the Final Phase begin!" "I'm Luis... I have the honor of playing the referee for the tournament." "Let us begin." "Will applicant #44, Hisoka, and applicant #404, Kurapika, please come forward." "Do your best!" "Yes... and I will win!" "Idiot, I told you to lose!" "I have a reason to live..." "As long as I hear the empty eyes of my people asking for revenge... I will track them down and avenge my comrades." "And that is why I must become a Hunter." "Uh, that's not quite what I was getting at." "I'm saying don't let Hisoka move up in the tournament." "Don't worry, I know Kurapika can beat him..." "You'll see!" "Like I said, that's not what I was talking about..." "A proud Kurta warrior and the most terrible magician of them all." "Hisoka probably has the advantage in terms of power... but I get the sense that there's something special about the Kurta boy." "This year's Exam never ceases to amaze me!" "I'm getting really hungry." "Ready?" "Begin!" "It's okay..." "Draw them." "I intend to." "That's right..." "You should keep a tight grip on them..." "They say that two swords become one in the hands of a master..." "Did you know?" "Oops." "You can't play a game with only half a deck of cards..." "The same goes for you." "It wouldn't be fun if you lost one of your swords, so hold on tight, okay?" "I won't let go of them... I never will!" "I do hope so." "Here I come!" "Watch out, Kurapika!" "Behind you!" "I already saw it!" "Oh good... you're full of energy." "Both of them are pretty good." "They're both... incredible!" "Kurapika is awesome!" "Guess I'd better stop picking fights with him!" "It looks as though both of them can easily predict what the other's next move will be." "I'd say they're thinking at least three moves ahead at all times." "I wonder what they'll do next." "Yes." "This is fun!" "When do we get to have lunch?" "Continue!" "Will Hisoka make the first move this time?" "Now we'll see what this magician is capable of." "Hey... you..." "There's something that might interest you." "What is it?" "You see..." "You've already lost, you know?" "And what makes you say that?" "!" "Am I wrong?" "Kurapika?" "!" "He doesn't seem himself..." "Something must have happened!" "Probably." "Where do you think you're going?" "I thought so... his blade must've had a crack in it." "People often call me a magician, but I don't cast spells or anything..." "Actually, I like to think things through scientifically." "The first card was not just to put you in check... I was already calculating this outcome." "It won't be fun if he surrenders with this." "Now, what would you do?" "Kurapika?" "!" "That's enough, Kurapika!" "There's no need for you to fight any further!" "Don't force yourself!" "It's better to put your hope on the next match!" "Kurapika!" "So you're not going to surrender?" "I'll tell you something that might interest you too..." "Losing one of my swords definitely puts me at a disadvantage." "But I will more than make up for its loss with my pride!" "I see." "Get ready!" "Here I come!" "Then it can't be helped..." "Kurapika!" "Damn you, Hisoka!" "Don't you get that if you kill your opponent, you'll be disqualified." "That's why I'm doing my best to take it easy on him." "I wish he would give up quick, you know?" "Kurapika!" "You've had enough!" "Don't get up!" "Stay down!" "You still got another chance!" "Kurapika!" "No use telling him that." "Why is that?" "!" "How can you be so calm, anyway?" "!" "You know if he keeps on fighting, he's really gonna..." "All we can do is stand back and watch their fight." "It seems you still haven't had enough." "No." "But you would really die, you know?" "Are you trying to make me fail in exchange of your life?" "That wouldn't be very nice." "Mean spirited, wouldn't you say?" "Or do you seriously think that you can make me admit defeat?" "Yeah, I'll make you say it..." "No matter what!" "Go ahead, throw your cards!" "You can break both of my swords!" "Even then I won't stop!" "Oopsy." "That was close." "You're trying so hard..." "Thanks to you..." "I'm getting agitated again." "Why do unripe fruits look so tempting?" "Hisoka!" "He's serious!" "He'll do it!" "Kurapika!" "Wow, they're really goin' at it all the way!" "Kurapika's awesome!" "No kidding." "From here is the real problem." "Applicant #44, Hisoka!" "What's wrong?" "The match is still in progress, you know?" "!" "Calm down, gotta calm down." "He's got a real crazy look on him!" "Be careful!" "Applicant #44, Hisoka!" "Where are you going?" "You're in the middle of the match." "It's okay, I forfeit." "I decided to make it in the next match." "I can do that, can't I?" "Yeah sure..." "No problem." "The winner of the first match is..." "Applicant #404, Kurapika!" "I'm not sure what happened there at the end... but Kurapika did win, right?" "It seems so!" "All right!" "Kurapika passed the Final Phase!" "He's the first one of us to become a Hunter!" "Right." "I thought they were going to kill each other... I wonder what was said to him?" "I'm a little bothered by the way it ended." "But still it was as great a match as I expected." "ls it lunchtime yet?" "!" "The second match will begin thirty minutes from now." "All applicants, please meet back here in time, and prepare for the second match." "You're dismissed for now!" "What did Hisoka say to you back there anyway?" "It was about the spider." "The spider?" "I have something to tell you about the spider." "The spider is the symbol of the Phantom Troupe." "Therefore, anyone close to them refers to them by that name." "I don't recall ever mentioning anything to him about the Troupe." "However, it seems he somehow discovered the connection I have with them." "He's the kind of guy who's got a lot in common with them." "I have no idea what connection Hisoka has to the Troupe." "But at that time, I got very interested in the information he might have." "The second match will begin in a few minutes." "Everyone, please make your way back inside." "Anyway, whatever the case..." "You've done it, Kurapika!" "Oh yeah, there's that." "Hey, what's up with you?" "You should act a little bit happier!" "You can officially become a Hunter now." "Now that it happened, it somehow doesn't feel real." "More importantly..." "Huh?" "I'm sorry." "I should've listened to your advice and surrendered the match." "He's much too dangerous." "Heh." "Come on, you fought even with him for so long." "You know, I'm willing to risk my life in this tournament, too." "I can hold my own against Hisoka if we meet in the battle." "Don't worry about me." "Actually, the person I'm worried about is Gon." "Oh, thanks!" "It's finally the time for our match, Hanzo." "Yeah!" "Don't think I'll go easy on you." "Now then, It's time to begin the second match." "My name is Masta, and I'll be your referee." "The second match..." "Applicant #294, Hanzo, versus #405, Gon!" "I have to follow Kurapika's lead!" "I'll be the second to pass, without fail!" "All right then..." "Ready?" "Begin!" "Power... speed... technique!" "Hanzo's better than me at everything!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Chatting x Excuses x Endurance!" "I won't lose on being stubborn! Did you hear it?"

"But I will more than make up for the lost sword with my pride!" "Here I come!" "Oopsy." "Hisoka!" "It's okay, I forfeit." "The winner is..." "Kurapika!" "It's time for the second match of the Final Phase..." "Hanzo versus..." "Gon!" "I just can't understand how Hanzo and the kid could be deemed equal." "Yeah, if you take into account their grades from all of the phases so far," "Hanzo should be ranked much higher." "I don't mean to play favorites... but when it comes to skill and power, the Baldy has an overwhelming advantage." "I'd hafta agree with you." "According to what the Chairman was saying, it seems the overall impression, namely, the immeasurable potential must have lead to his high assessment." "In other words, his natural talent for being a Hunter was deemed remarkable, right?" "But still..." "In this fight, Baldy has the upper hand." "My name is Masta, and I will be the referee for this second match." "It's an honor." "So, it's you!" "You were the one following me during the Fourth Phase, weren't you?" "You knew about me?" "Of course, I did." "In that phase, there was one proctor following each of the other applicants as well, am I right?" "Well!" "I'm sure everyone knew about that anyway, though." "I had no idea." "I would've told you, but I thought it was far too obvious." "I owe you one, Mr. Proctor!" "Huh?" "Even though I passed the Fourth Phase by stealing the badges of inferior opponents, I still managed to get a high ranking for this tournament." "Yeah, and?" "It's all thanks to you!" "It's because your judgment was accurate!" "But I suppose it's only natural, right?" "All that aside..." "There's something I want to make sure..." "About what?" "In order to win, I have to make my opponent forfeit the match." "So there's no winning by TKO or a knock out, or anything else, am I right?" "Yeah, that's correct." "But really, he sure talks a lot." "I see." "This could be trickier than I thought." "He looks really strong." "But I have energy and I'm fast, too!" "I'll run circles around him and seek my chance!" "Ready?" "Begin!" "I'm guessing..." "You are confident with your speed." "ls that right?" "I admit you're pretty good for a kid." "If it were me, I'd have dodged that level of attack easily." "Now then." "If this were a regular fight, this would've settled it, but..." "Here, wake up already!" "How about it?" "I bet you're feeling really horrible, huh?" "That's because I struck a blow to your brain stem." "Now you get it, right?" "The gap in our strengths is undeniable." "You'd better give up while you are ahead." "No way!" "Think about it long and hard." "If you quit now, it won't affect your next match." "There's really no point in being so stubborn about it, you know?" "Come on now, just say the word." "Like I ever would!" "So, you won't?" "I'll never surrender!" "Gon!" "Don't push yourself!" "There's still next match!" "For now..." "Leorio, suppose you were in his position." "Would you be willing to say, "I give up"?" "I'm just like you and Gon. I wouldn't even if I died." "I know that, but still I have to tell him this!" "Though contradictory, I can't help feeling the same way!" "Listen to Leorio and back down for now, Gon." "Or you'll destroy yourself!" "And the Chairman thought you and I were mean." "We were pushovers compared to what he's doing." "Isn't it obvious that anyone who's made it this far isn't gonna give up just like that?" "But Hisoka did say he forfeited." "That was an exception to the rule." "I have a feeling Hisoka had an ulterior motive." "Anyway, that kid is the real issue here." "What happens when he can't verbally surrender anymore." "Geez, the way this tournament is set up is brutal." "That kid's in big trouble." "This match has just started." "I've taken a few hits, but I've still got a lot of energy left!" "I told you already." "I hit you so your brain would go numb." "I bet you aren't able to see much by now." "You have guts, I'll give you that." "But this isn't some kid's scuffle." "There are times when guts alone just don't cut it." "Like what your friend told you, it's more realistic to lose this match and take your chance on the next..." "Sorry about that..." "But since you were relying on your sense of hearing to attack me, I had to crush one of your ears." "There's a possibility that you won't be able to talk, so I spared the other one." "But it's gonna be nearly impossible for you to tell directions with this." "Stop your useless resistance." "He'd go that far?" "I can still hear." "As long as I've got one good ear, I can still fight." "I've just gotta protect it with my life." "Oh yeah, you've got an incredible sense of hearing." "Gon!" "Here's some water!" "You can use it to cool yourself off!" "I can see a little now." "I can do this!" "You don't know your place, do you?" "!" "It's been over three hours." "He won't even spit blood anymore!" "You hear me, don't you?" "I've got a question for you." "You know that you can use weapons in this tournament, right?" "So why don't you use that fishing rod of yours already?" "Didn't you use it to steal Hisoka's badge?" "Maybe you thought you could defeat me without your weapon?" "If so, you've greatly underestimated me..." "Haven't you?" "!" "You're wrong!" "Whenever I get into a fight, I always fight to win!" "I don't underestimate anybody!" "Then, why haven't you tried using your weapon?" "My weapon, that fishing rod, once belonged to my father!" "Yeah, so what?" "That fishing rod has helped me more times than I can count." "Thanks to it, I've gotten this far." "But this is the last test before becoming a Hunter!" "It's something I want to do all by myself." "It doesn't mean anything if I have to borrow my father's strength." "This is my own personal fight!" "I wondered what in the world could be the reason, but guess it wasn't really much." "So, you think this is your fight?" "That just means you are still underestimating me!" "I'll tell you one last time!" "You should learn your place!" "All right, that's enough!" "You bastard, I'll kill you!" "Let me stand in for him, I'll fight you!" "If you don't have the stomach to watch, then leave." "It's about to get a whole lot worse." "What was that?" "!" "Interfering in other applicant's matches is not permitted." "There has been no violation of the rules by Hanzo." "If you were to step in and help Gon in any way then he would be the one to be disqualified." "Thanks..." "Leorio." "But don't worry." "I'm okay." "This is nothing I can't handle... I can still keep on fighting." "I'll break your arm." "I'm serious!" "Say it!" "Surrender!" "Never!" "There, now you can't use your left arm." "I know if won't help Gon, but if that guys lays one more hand on him," "I'm not going to be able to stop myself." "You'd better not get in my way, Kurapika!" "Stop you?" "Me stopping you?" "Rest assured..." "That won't happen." "I feel the same way you do." "There's something different about Gon." "He's always been stubborn, but never like this." "It's different from the determination" "Leorio and I possess because of what we are burdened with." "He probably hasn't been able to get over what happened to him on Zevil Island." "If things continue as is, things would truly become irreparable." "If that happens... I know you're in a lot of pain right now, but try to listen to me." "As a ninja, from birth we're forced to endure some of the most rigorous training known to man in order to attain the special skills we have." "It's been eighteen years since I came into this world, and I've been training nonstop ever since." "By the time I was your age, I had already killed dozens of people in battle." "When it comes to fighting, there is no way you can win against me at the present time." "I'm telling you." "Just accept your defeat and surrender." "Thanks to the pain and all that talking you were doing, I started to get my head back in shape!" "Attaboy, Gon!" "Do it!" "Kick that bastard!" "Kick away!" "Kick him to his death!" "Kill him!" "Do it!" "But if he kills Hanzo, he loses, Leorio." "Hanzo's only and greatest weakness is that once he gets talking, he just rambles on and on." "I knew that kid could do it!" "I could tell right from the beginning that he has amazing guts!" "Didn't you say he was "in big trouble" a few minutes ago?" "Yeah, well that was then, this is now." "Don't you know there's nothing more important than the present?" "!" "You just said you're eighteen, that's only six years older than I am right now." "Besides, this match isn't about who's stronger." "It's about who admits defeat at the end!" "And it doesn't matter if I take you seriously or not!" "I hate to break it to you... but I actually let you kick me just now, of course." "Liar!" "Oops, excuse me." "That looks like it really hurts." "Yeah!" "This is your chance!" "Get him!" "Make him pay!" "Excuse me, Hanzo." "Here you go." "Oh thanks." "Why did he have to meddle in?" "!" "That would let him get rid of the damage!" "It can't be helped." "Leaving him like that would be too embarrassing." "You still don't get it." "I'm not giving you advice," "I'm giving you an order." "Was my order hard to understand?" "Then I'll make it more simple and easy." "Next time, I'm not just gonna break one of your bones..." "I'm gonna make it so you would never be able to stand or walk!" "Maybe you'll finally understand when you are faced with irreparable damage." "But before that, I'm gonna ask you one last time." "Please just say, "I surrender."" "That doesn't sound good." "I definitely don't wanna have my legs chopped off." "But I don't wanna give up either." "Why don't we find another way to settle this?" "Huh?" "What makes you think you're in any position to negotiate?" "!" "That made me go blank for a moment, but I guess he's just being honest." "But I can see why Hanzo's so upset." "So, what're you gonna do now, Baldy?" "!" "His name is Hanzo." "When did you get in your head that you can expedite this?" "!" "If you're gonna make a fool of me, I'll cut you up for real!" "Yeah, but still, I'm not gonna give up, no matter what." "If you really cut me up, I'll probably bleed to death." "And if he kills me, then he's the one who fails, isn't that right?" "Yes, that is correct." "See?" "That wouldn't be good for either of us, would it?" "So let's think about another way, okay?" "That's incredibly selfish..." "Gon completely put things on his terms." "He dragged everyone here, including Hanzo, into his pace." "No kidding." "What's going on?" "Nothing's really changed." "Gon hasn't gotten stronger than him." "Nor has his broken arm gotten back together." "Nothing." "Yet the tense atmosphere of just a moment ago is totally dispelled just like that." "Why?" "I see..." "So that must be the reason why." "Reason for what?" "The reason why Gon received such a high ranking." "Oh you mean... the overall impression points?" "That's right." "Early in the match, it seemed as though our ranking Hanzo higher than Gon was justified." "But as the match progressed, what do you know," "Gon made us sit on the edge of our chairs." "He also made us laugh..." "As judges, we're supposed to remain impartial." "Yet before we knew it, we all began rooting for Gon." "Yeah, he certainly has some quality that draws everything around towards himself, involves them, and makes them help him." "Of course, not many people possess that quality." "And it's not something you can learn or develop." "In other words, it's a talent you have to be born with." "That innate potential must have translated into the overall impression." "Yes, I imagine that's what the Chairman saw in him." "So does that mean the most important quality for a Hunter is character?" "It sounds unbelievable when you put it that way." "But I guess we'll see some sort of answer out of this match." "Probably..." "You still don't get it at all." "When you're dead, there is no next time." "Nothing." "On the other hand, even if I kill you here, I can just challenge again next year." "You and I are not on an equal standing!" "He's right, Gon." "No matter how hard you try to talk your way around it, there's just too much space between your fighting skills." "It's impossible to fill that gap here and now." "In the end, all that matters is the difference in power." "Why?" "!" "It's just one word!" "Say it and you can just try again next year!" "What's wrong with that?" "!" "Would you rather die than not have it your own way?" "!" "Would biting the dust for something like that really satisfy you?" "Answer me!" "My father... I need to go and find him." "My dad is a Hunter." "Though he's out there somewhere far away right now, I believe that I can find him someday." "But if I give up here, I feel that I would never be able to meet him in my lifetime." "That's why..." "I won't back down." "But if you don't... you're gonna die." "Still..." "I won't back down." "It's not about reason, is it?" "Then, it's unfortunate but..." "This is... the end!" "ls there any way I can actually win this match?" "!" "I want it to be the way we can feel good about!"

"I give up." "I lose." "I can't kill you... and I can't think of a way to make you surrender." "So I'll advance by losing and tackle the next one." "No..." "No way!" "That's not fair!"

"But I'm not happy winning like this!" "Then what do we do?" "That's why I'm telling you!" "We should come up with something together!" "In short, you want me to fight you in earnest, even though I'm ready to forfeit this match?" "But not only that, you want me to help you think of some way that'll let you win the way you want." "Is that about right?" "Right!" "You moron!" "Hey, Ref..." "Like I said before, I surrender." "On to the next round." "Okay." "The winner of the second match is Gon!" "Let me just say this to the Committee though." "You may still have a problem on your hands, you know." "When he comes to, he'll probably refuse to accept his win." "He won't do anything unless it's on his own terms." "You just saw how stubborn he is." "He's right." "Very much expected of Gon." "So obvious." "If there's only one of us who can fail, and if Gon gets himself disqualified, then that'll make the rest of the matches meaningless, won't it?" "Then what?" "Don't worry." "Gon has passed this phase." "Nothing he says can change that now." "I can take your word for it, right, Mr. Chairman?" "Of course." "Once I decide something, it doesn't matter if I change my mind later on, or if Gon throws a fit, or even if he kills me..." "Once you pass, that status cannot be revoked." "All right!" "That means we've got two more Hunters in the house." "First Kurapika and now Gon!" "So, are you satisfied?" "Yeah, I am." "But..." "Hanzo..." "I understand your concerns." "Allow me to deal with it." "When Gon comes to, I'll have a talk with him." "I'm sure you can handle it." "I trust you." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Are you saying you don't trust the other judges?" "Huh?" "What about me, Bozo?" "!" "His name is Hanzo." "Insulting me like that!" "You've so failed as a person!" "Why?" "Why'd you lose on purpose?" "On purpose?" "I'm sure you know how to make someone surrender without killing them." "When I torture someone," "I'm prepared to have a grudge held against me for the rest of my life." "It works better that way and I feel better that way." "Anyone would have a gleam of hatred in their eyes when they look at the person who's torturing them." "No matter how much you train yourself, you can never hide such hatred or grudges." "But Gon's eyes didn't have that." "None." "Can you believe it?" "And that was right after I broke his arm!" "He looked at me as if he'd forgotten what just happened." "I actually started to like the kid." "I couldn't fight him anymore." "Good enough reason to lose..." "It wasn't on purpose." "It's time to move on to the third match." "Number 44, Hisoka!" "Number 191, Bodoro!" "Move forward!" "Right!" "This match is gonna be pretty intense, too." "Yeah." "If it's straight, close range combat, Bodoro might have a shot." "His problem is going to be how to dodge Hisoka's card attacks." "The loser of this match is gonna be my opponent." "I hope both of them are badly injured and the match is a draw." "That way I win by default." "That would be best case scenario." "Relying on the others to have a better fate of your own?" "It would be a windmill." "You mean a windfall?" "Boring." "What?" "Overripe fruit that's about to rot has never been my favorite." "Let's see how boring you think it is once the fight has started." "For an old guy, he's got a lot of fight in him." "Impressive." "There's a lot more to winning than just skills." "It all comes down to having a fighting spirit." "Hisoka versus Bodoro..." "Begin!" "My fist will pierce through your body in one blow!" "Excuse me." "I don't think I'll need these against you." "Oh good, you're awake." "Mr. Satotz?" "Here I go..." "Where am I?" "This is a waiting room next to the Exam site." "Oh yeah..." "I was in the middle of the test." "Your arm will be fine soon." "Right." "I remember now..." "He broke it very cleanly." "It may be even stronger than before once it heals." "Gon, let me give you some advice." "It's okay to push your way through sometimes, but there's a right time, a place, and a situation for everything." "You could end up with irreversible consequences if you fail to grasp that." "You only have one life, after all." "Yeah..." "At any rate, I'd like to congratulate you for passing the Hunter Exam." "Mr. Satotz..." "I..." "No, you can't." "Huh?" "Just as an applicant who failed cannot say anything to reverse the Committee's decision, the same goes for those who passed." "No one can change the outcome." "The rest is up to you." "You have what it takes to be a Hunter." "That has been proven during the course of the Exam." "But I lost to Hisoka, and I couldn't beat Hanzo either." "I don't deserve it." "I only passed the Exam because they all felt sorry for me." "And is that really so terrible?" "Let me be completely honest with you, Gon." "Menchi and Buhara didn't see anything exceptional in your performance at the end of the Second Phase." "The fact that you're only twelve years old is remarkable." "However, all applicants are considered equal in the Hunter Exam." "I believe no one, including myself, ever expected you to get this far." "Yeah." "I guess it was just luck." "But you have proven us all wrong." "Gon... do you know what the Final Phase is all about?" "Huh?" "Well..." "It isn't about winning or losing." "It tests something more than that." "And you managed to correctly answer Mr. Chairman's test." "That's why you passed." "I don't get it." "It's okay if you don't understand." "Sometimes even we don't fully understand the Chairman's true intentions." "Let me explain to you the details." "Regardless of how you feel about it, you will be issued a license card." "A Hunter License..." "The proof that you are a Hunter." "What you do with it is entirely up to you." "Needless to say, passing the Exam is not the end, but just the beginning." "If you don't think you're worthy of being a Hunter, you're free to throw away your license or keep it hidden." "You can even sell it if you wish." "The most others can do with it is to use it as a display." "But even so, there are plenty of people willing to pay a fortune to get their hands on a card like that." "You could sell it and spend a lifetime in luxury." "Moreso, seven lifetimes." "However, once you've passed the Exam, you can never take it again." "Thanks to those who have come before us," "Hunters are well respected throughout the world." "But that very fact attracts those who would abuse the privilege." "If it wasn't for them, the Chairman doesn't mind passing all applicants." "For most professional Hunters, the license card is as important as their own lives." "But at the same time, it is as meaningless as a piece of junk." "What matters most is what you accomplish as a Hunter." "If you feel like you owe people something, go ahead and take the time to repay them ." "What's important is what you do in the future and what you hope to accomplish." "What I do in the future..." "I remember my friends saying something like that before, but I guess I didn't really know what they meant." "Like I was saying earlier, there's a right time for everything." "You may know something, but you won't be able to understand it until the time is right." "You seem to have made good friends." "I hope you appreciate them because true friends are as hard to come by as having true talents." "Of course!" "He managed to make such good friends during this grueling Exam." "And there's his extraordinary will power... this kid..." "Mr. Satotz..." "Huh?" "What do you do as a Hunter?" "Mainly the restoration and protection of ancient ruins." "I see." "I used to try to make a name for myself by discovering new archaeological sites." "But when I came across the work of another Hunter, I became ashamed of myself." "This Hunter spent his own money to restore the ruins." "His work enabled long term protection of the ruins, and also opened them to the public." "I felt defeated not by the beauty of the ruins, but by his work and his thoughts that went into it." "Today, his methods for preserving archaeological sites have become standards worldwide." "I see." "I've never met this Hunter in person, but he has been like a mentor to me." "To thank him in person has become one of my dreams." "He must be a great guy." "Have you ever heard of the Lurka Ruins?" "My dad!" "He's the one who changed Mr. Satotz's life!" "So you've heard of them?" "I've heard that it's the biggest ruins left by the Lurka civilization." "You should go see them if you're interested." "They're absolutely stunning." "Yeah!" "Well then, Gon." "Here is your official Hunter License." "My very own..." "license." "When you decide to start using it is entirely up to you." "You'll know when the time is right." "Right." "I got this card because a lot of people have helped me." "And I owe them so much." "So I'll start using it once I've paid them all back!" "Once again, I'd like to congratulate you on becoming a Hunter." "Thank you." "Uh, what about the others?" "The test is still underway, right?" "No, it's all done." "Really?" "Yes." "You've been sleeping for nearly 24 hours." "The other successful applicants are attending some brief post-exam lecture." "You'll attend one later as well." "So, tell me..." "Who failed?" "Mr. Satotz?" "It was..." "What's wrong?" "I'm okay..." "It's gone now." "It's probably the stress." "You'd better rest a little while longer." "Never mind me." "So?" "All right then..." "Let me go back a little, and start from the beginning of the third round..." "A punch like that won't even give me a nosebleed let alone pierce my body." "Did you hold back?" "Well, too bad." "No more free shots for you." "But I felt a solid hit..." "It's my turn now." "I'll hold back for you so you don't die." "Come on." "I can't hold back any more than this." "Oh well." "Maybe I have to fight you with my pinky finger." "Hisoka was clearly more powerful, so the match was always in his favor." "But Bodoro wasn't going to give up without a fight." "Bodoro never lost his fighting spirit." "I'm not... ready...to give up... yet!" "But just as he did in his first match," "Hisoka whispered something in Bodoro's ear as he lay on the floor." "And right after that, Bodoro surrendered." "I take back what I said earlier." "This was actually a lot of fun." "In the fourth match, it was Hanzo against Pokkle." "Hanzo employed the same tactics he used against you." "But this time it worked and Pokkle gave in rather quickly." "Sorry, but I won't go easy on you." "Saying those words was enough to end it." "The fifth match was supposed to be Leorio versus Bodoro." "But Leorio requested that it be postponed due to Bodoro's injuries." "Request granted." "So instead, they skipped ahead to the sixth match." "Ah, I give up." "Sorry, but I just don't feel like fighting you." "Congratulations." "He said it so confidently." "Trying to be cool or something?" "He must've thought he could win his next match." "However..." "Hey, Killua!" "You're not helping much buying time." "In that case, I suppose we have to move on to the seventh match." "So it was Killua versus Gittarackur in the next match." "That was his biggest miscalculation." "Gittarackur versus Killua." "Begin!" "Kil..." "I guess you never realized." "B-Brother?" "What did Killua do next?" "!" "Tell me, Mr. Satotz!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Killua x Disqualified x Forced Out!" "What did you do to Killua?" "! Did you hear it?"

"Let me start from the beginning." "Kil... I guess you never realized." "Brother..." "Killua's older brother?" "Yes." "Gittarackur was just an alias." "And since he originally applied to the Committee under his real name, lllumi Zoldyck, he had done nothing wrong." "Tell me, what happened next?" "Okay." "I'll describe it as best as I can." "That's Killua's brother?" "Hey." "I heard you stabbed Mom and Milluki." "What..." "And?" "...was that?" "Mom was in tears, you know?" "Who can blame her, after being treated like that by her own son." "He's a horrible brat, after all!" "She was so happy." "What the..." "She said she was happy that her little boy was all grown up." "But she was still worried about you being out on your own." "So, she asked me to check up on you." "But what a coincidence." "I never knew you wanted to become a Hunter." "I'm here because a Hunter License would be useful in my next job." "He wore that creepy disguise this whole time just so he could spy on his little brother?" "This guy means business." "Having the License will make things a lot easier for me so this was really just a coincidence." "Sorry for hiding from you, but what about you?" "It's not like I wanted to become a Hunter." "I just feet like taking it." "I see." "I'm glad to hear that." "Then I can give you this advice without any worries." "Kil..." "You'll never... make a good Hunter." "Your calling is as an assassin." "ls that really what he said?" "Yes, those were his exact words." "I've been told about the Zoldyck family before, but..." "Killua was obviously affected by what was said to him." "He continued to say..." "There's no fire in you, just darkness." "You're wrong..." "You have no desires or ambitions of your own." "You're wrong..." "The only thing that makes you happy is when you're involved in someone's death." "You're wrong!" "No, it's true, because you were brought up to be this way by our dad and myself." "You know it as well as anybody, don't you?" "So what do you hope to get out from being a Hunter?" "It's true." "I'm not that interested in becoming a Hunter." "But... I do have something I want." "No, you don't." "I do!" "There're things I desire." "Then tell me, what is it?" "What's wrong?" "You don't really want anything, do you?" "I do." "I want to be... friends with Gon." "I don't wanna kill anymore." "I'm sick of it." "I wanna be friends with Gon, like a normal kid." "I wanna hang out, just like a normal kid." "Just be normal." "That's impossible." "You can't possibly make a friend." "You can only see other people in terms of whether or not you can kill them." "That's how you were raised." "You're just confused, because you've never met anyone like Gon before and you don't know what to do." "It's not that you really want to be his friend." "You're wrong." "If you stay with him, eventually you'll get the urge to kill him, just to see if you can actually do it." "Because you're a born killer." "Maybe you're right." "But I would never kill Gon." "I wanna be his friend." "And I'd never kill a friend." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "You know what that is?" "It's like a kid asking for a dog." "They promise they'll take care of it, but before long the novelty wears off and the dog gets neglected." "Like I told you before..." "Yeah, I know." "I won't interfere." "Killua... I don't really care if this guy is your brother." "He is an idiot and a jerk!" "Don't listen to him!" "Comparing people to dogs?" "!" "Gon's not some puppy!" "Just do your usual thing, take him down fast, and pass the Exam!" "You said you wanna be friends with Gon." "Don't be stupid!" "You and him have already become friends!" "At least Gon thinks so!" "ls that true?" "Of course it is, you moron!" "That's a problem." "So Gon already considers you a friend, huh?" "Okay, then." "Guess I'll have to kill him." "An assassin doesn't need friends." "They only get in the way." "Where is he?" "Wait a second!" "The match is still..." "Where?" "He's next door in the waiting room." "Thank you." "Don't worry, you're not dying." "Your face is just changing a little." "But if you don't remove those pins in time, it might never return to normal." "Okay." "This could be a problem." "Like I said, I need to get this license for my job." "But if I kill these guys, I'll fail the test, and then Kil would pass automatically." "That won't work." "I guess the same is true if I kill Gon." "I know!" "I'll pass first and then kill Gon." "That way, the Committee can't revoke it even if I were to kill everyone in this room, right?" "That's right." "You hear that, Kil?" "It looks like in order to save Gon, you've got to defeat me." "Can you fight me for your friend?" "Can't do it, can you?" "Because what's more important to you at this moment is whether or not you can defeat me or not." "Not your friend." "And you know the answer already." ""I can't defeat my brother."" ""Never go up against a superior opponent."" "I've told you that many times before, haven't I?" "Don't move." "I'll take your next move as a signal to start our fight." "Likewise, if we touch each other then we start our fight." "There's only one way out of this, and you know what it is." "But don't forget." "If you don't fight against me, your precious friend Gon is as good as dead." "Take him down, Killua!" "We're not gonna let him kill you or Gon!" "We'll stop him at any cost!" "You just do whatever you've gotta do!" "Killua!" "Shall we take a break?" "No, I'm all right... please continue." "Okay, then let us continue." "I..." "I surrender." "I lose, Illumi..." "Oh good." "No need to fight now then." "I was just kidding, Kil." "I was never actually going to kill Gon." "But the way you were talking was so unexpected, I was just a bit concerned." "So I had to test you." "My heart was racing there, you know." "I'm glad we finally got that cleared up." "You're not qualified to have friends." "There's no need for them, either." "Just listen to our dad and myself and do the job as before." "And when the time comes for you to get a Hunter License, I'll let you know." "But for now, you don't need one." "ls that clear, Kil?" "ls that clear, Kil?" "After that, it was as if all the life drained out of Killua." "No matter what Leorio and Kurapika said to him, they couldn't get him to respond." "And then... just as the match between Leorio and Bodoro was getting underway..." "Bodoro was rushed to the hospital, but died shortly after." "At that point, Killua had violated the rule." "So the Committee disqualified him." "It looked to me like he did it on purpose." "Killua..." "Killua..." "Killua..." "Killua!" "Gon..." "Apologize..." "Apologize to Killua." "Apologize?" "For what?" "You don't even know what you did wrong?" "No." "Then you're not qualified to be his brother." "Are there qualifications to be a brother?" "You don't need qualifications to be friends with someone either." "This kid..." "We're going after Killua." "You don't have to apologize now, so just take me where he went." "What're you going to do?" "What else?" "I'm gonna bring him back!" "You make it sound as if he was kidnapped." "He walked out of here on his own free will." "No, he didn't." "You guys are manipulating him, so it's like kidnapping!" "Actually, we were discussing that very thing just now, Gon." "In fact, Leorio and Kurapika lodged a formal complaint." "They felt that his disqualification was unjustified, and we're trying to get to the bottom of it." "During the match against the so called Gittarackur, it became clear to us that Killua was not himself." "He could've had been under the influence of hypnosis that resulted in his action." "Typically, a person can't be forced to kill." "Even under the deepest hypnosis." "But with Killua, killing is normal to him." "It's not a surprise if he couldn't restrain himself." "The situation gets complicated because it happened during my match with Bodoro." "It could've looked like he was trying to help me pass the Exam." "Then in that case, the one who gets disqualified should be me and not Killua." "In any case, Killua did not act on his own accord." "Therefore, failing him is unjustifiable!" "It's all based on assumptions, though." "There was no obvious order given to Killua to kill someone." "And we can't prove he's been hypnotized, either." "Yes, I know." "The fact that it happened during Leorio and Bodoro's match isn't much of a problem either." "Before the match, I feet that the two of them were even." "Bodoro was better at fighting because he had far more experience, but Leorio had more advantage in terms of his flexibility to respond to different situations." "Plus Bodoro was badly injured during his previous match against Hisoka." "So everyone, including myself, knew that Leorio had the upper hand." "It wasn't necessary for Killua to help him win." "Well, that didn't work." "There's something else we should go over." "You, in the first match against Hisoka." "What did he say to you?" "You both still had energy left to fight, and then he whispered something in your ear." "Then he surrenders." "Weird, isn't it?" "It's understandable to surrender after someone whispers something, most likely a threat, to you." "Just like in the match between" "Hanzo and myself, and between Bodoro and Hisoka." "But in your situation, it's exactly the opposite." "Which makes me believe that you and Hisoka must've reached some kind of secret agreement." "If odd behavior is basis of your protest, then your pass is highly suspicious too." "If you've got nothing to hide, I think you should tell us all what he said." "I'm not obliged to tell." "I think you are." "No, I'm not." "If my pass is suspect, then your win by default is unseemly." "What did you say?" "!" "This is pointless." "There's no point in arguing how people passed." "If you're not happy with the way you passed, then train hard until you're satisfied." "I know Killua can pass if he tries again." "It's too bad he got disqualified this time around, but that's okay." "But if you forced Killua to kill people against his will, then I'll never forgive you for that!" "You won't forgive me?" "So... what will you do?" "Nothing." "I'm just gonna bring Killua back and make sure you guys never see him again." "Well then, everybody." "It's just like Gon said, everyone has to decide for themselves whether or not they deserve to become a Hunter." "You can talk as much as you want, but the Committee will not be overturning any decisions." "Killua has failed and all of you have passed." "Then I guess all this was just a big waste of time." "On the contrary." "You both have voiced your opinions and have realized that they don't hold strong." "It also showed that we're not too stubborn to listen to reason." "And now I would like to announce that this year's Hunter Exam is over!" "On behalf of the Exam Committee, I'd like to congratulate all of you!" "From now on, you're on your own." "You may face many challenges along the way, but I want you to believe in yourself and progress forward." "All seven of you here have passed!" "You're now licensed Hunters!" "We have reached the end." "You are dismissed." "Gittar" " I mean..." "lllumi!" "What do you want now?" "I want you to tell me where to find Killua!" "I don't think you should go after him." "That's my problem!" "Killua's my friend, and I'll do whatever I've gotta do to find him!" "Killua, where did you go?" "I will find you!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Disband x Party x Unpleasant Ties" "Leorio, Kurapika..." "See ya! Did you hear it?"

"Are you happy that you passed?" "Aren't you going to miss the fun of taking the Exam next year?" "I've had enough now." "I've finally found something that's even more exciting than taking the Hunter Exam." "My arm?" "Yeah, it's broken." "Right then?" "He's interesting." "I can understand why you want to pay close attention to him." "Right?" "But he could be trouble for me later..." "I'd rather get rid of him now..." "Gon is my prey." "No one is allowed to touch him, or else..." "I understand." "Next, regarding the Hunter License..." "First, this card allows you to enter 90% of the countries that are closed to foreigners." "And you can access 75% of the areas that are off-limits to the general public." "You can also use 95% of public facilities free of charge." "Banks will give you a credit line that's normally reserved for top-rated companies." "It's no exaggeration to say that this license is beyond priceless." "Therefore, your first mission is to guard your Hunter License." "Okay, now I'm going to explain how you can use your license." "The card has numerous anti forgery..." "The only one who knows where to find Killua is his older brother, Illumi." "But he's leaving tomorrow..." "Today is my only chance!" "Hey, you guys." "Why just sit around here when you can come into town with me and have a look around." "Let's go pick up a bunch of souvenirs." "No thanks." "I don't have much money." "Not interested." "Come on, you guys really need to lighten up." "We're Hunters now, remember?" "As long as you've got that license card, you can get a loan and spend as much money as you want!" "You're probably waiting for Gon, aren't you?" "Well, if that's the case, I won't persist." "Guess I'm on my own." "See ya!" "Kurapika..." "My emotions got the best of me back there..." "I'm sorry." "No..." "I should be the one apologizing for my rudeness." "No need for you to apologize." "I got frustrated because you were right." "I never thought I'd pass the Exam like that." "I guess I just took all my bad feelings out on you." "But that's behind me now!" "Since I'm a full fledged Hunter, I'd better go and make the best of it." "What matters now is what I accomplish from this point on!" "I'm gonna travel around the world searching for animal species that haven't been discovered yet." "I'll bring back creatures you've never even knew existed!" "That sounds very interesting." "There is still so much to explore and discover in this world." "Yeah." "I'll see ya!" "You know, I'm having difficulty being plain happy right now..." "You are thinking about Gon, aren't you?" "I don't think Gon understands how difficult it's going to be to bring Killua back." "He doesn't understand but he's going to try, anyway." "It's the Hunter's job to maintain and uphold the natural order of things." "Hunting animals and treasure are works of second-rate Hunters, or rather, of amateur Hunters." "A Hunter who excels in one particular area will be awarded Single Star Hunter status." "Double Star status or even Triple Star status is awarded for achievements of historic importance." "All right!" "It's over!" "W-Wait!" "I'm only halfway through, Gon!" "I'll read about the rest of it in the textbook later." "I promise!" "Here." "What's the most important thing a new Hunter needs to be aware of?" "You should be able to answer if you were paying attention." "Well, uh... uh..." "It seems to me you might benefit from hearing the lecture one more time from the beginning." "Come on, Chairman Netero..." "All right Gon, please go back to your seat." "Passing the Hunter Exam isn't the end, it's only the beginning." "What's important is deciding what I'm going to do now that I've become a Hunter." "Is that right?" "!" "Mr. Chairman..." "You're dismissed." "I'm so glad I remembered what Mr. Satotz told me!" "Thanks, I owe you one!" "Uh, you're welcome." "Well..." "I'm outta here!" "We're no match for him." "Yes, all the applicants who passed the Exam are staying on the third floor." "Thanks a lot!" "There's no time to come up with a plan!" "I'll just have go and hope for the best!" "Oh, wait!" "I'm getting off!" "Let me out!" "Wait!" "Gittarackur!" "Wait, Gon!" "Leorio..." "Kurapika..." "There's no way he's gonna just tell you were Killua is." "And even if he did, do you actually think you can bring him back all by yourself?" "Well, I'll never know if I don't try!" "You could end up making enemies with the world's most notorious family of assassins." "Yeah, I know that." "You just don't get it!" "You have a home to go back to and a dream of finding your dad!" "You've already risked your life to become a Hunter." "There's no need for you to go through this!" "Just calm down and think, okay?" "!" "If Killua left because he wanted to, then I won't go after him." "But I..." "I just don't think that was the case." "Killua certainly was acting strange." "It seemed as though he was unable to move on his own free will because of his brother." "But like the Chairman said, all we had was a theory and that there was no evidence to prove it." "I don't need any evidence when it comes to trusting my friends!" "That's gotta be the most stubborn kid ever." "I'm throwing in the bucket." "I think you mean... throwing in the towel." "I've been waiting..." "You must really be serious about wanting to know Killua's whereabouts." "Then why don't you try to force me to tell you?" "We both have broken arms, so it's fair enough, don't you think?" "I don't care!" "It's the same feeling as last time..." "I don't like it!" "What's the matter?" "Are you scared all of a sudden?" "Too slow." "This kid instinctively senses my power." "I guess I'll have to apologize to Hisoka later." "I have to get rid of any potential trouble..." "Killua's got quite a talent as an assassin." "But I must say you've got some good fighting skills, too." "I don't care about that!" "Where's Killua?" "!" "Killua's already made his decision." "He has taken my advice and decided that he doesn't need any friends." "That's why he left you." "It wasn't his decision." "I'll ask him when I see him." "No." "I'm afraid that's not going to happen." "There's no escape from me this time." "I can't move!" "I'll just tell Kil that his former friend... is no longer with us." "Oh... he doesn't trust me?" "Wait!" "Kil is probably heading back home to Kukuroo Mountain." "Kukuroo Mountain?" "But... why?" "You want to know why I'm telling you now?" "Well, there are three reasons." "First of all, the exact location of the Zoldyck Family estate is hardly a secret." "Everyone in that area knows of it." "Secondly, even when you know where it is, there's no real risk since you won't be able to get there." "And finally, I felt sorry for them back there watching over you." "It's annoying to have you following me around." "The rest is up to you." "Do what you want." "You'll see when you get there." "We come from two completely different worlds." "Have you ever heard of this Kukuroo Mountain?" "No, but it shouldn't be too hard to find." "We can use our license to go surfing!" "Surfing?" "Our license grants us free access to cyberspace, and that way we can gather information from around the world." "It's a vital resource for every working Hunter and it's one of the most reliable resources." "By the way, searching cyberspace for some information is called "surfing."" "Oh, that's good to know." "They told you all this stuff during the orientation." "Were you sleeping?" "Kukuroo Mountain..." "looks like it's in the Republic of Padokea." "Padokea..." "It's right there." "You're in luck." "The country is open to all foreign visitors." "You should be able to get there in three days by airship." "Three days..." "So you're really going to go?" "Yeah, if I'm gonna get Killua away from them..." "I think this might be the only chance I've got." "Before he turns into a professional assassin..." "I think you're the only person who could do it." "Okay..." "Let me give my Hunter License card a shot." "It's free anyway." "La di da di da..." "Are you surfing for something?" "Yup." "I'm looking for info on your dad." "You think there is something?" "What was his first name?" "It's Ging." "Searching the Hunter database by the name..." "What's his last name?" "Freecss." "Ging Freecss." "There he is." "I'm gonna click on it." "It won't let me!" "Huh?" "Why?" "He's listed as classified." "Which means you don't have permission to access any information on him in cyberspace." "It's possible that he's a member of the confidential database." "To even be considered for that particular designation would mean you have nearly as much power and influence as any world leader." "Not to mention a lot of money." "Hey, Gon... it looks as though your dad's an even greater man than you originally thought he was." "All examiners and newly licensed members." "Please report to the banquet hall." "Just wait a second..." "Mr. Satotz!" "I wanna ask you something." "Can you tell me what this thing is?" "This is...?" "Someone I know dropped it." "I thought it was a Hunter License card, but it looks a lot different from the one I got." "Wonderful." "This is the official certification of a Double Star Hunter." "Double Star Hunter?" "Who did you say this belonged to?" "His name is Kite... what's wrong?" "The original owner of this particular card is a Hunter named Ging." "You see this identification number there at the bottom?" "You have one on your license too." "The last three digits represent the year in which you passed the Hunter Exam." "So in your case, the year is 287." "But on this card the year is 267, a particular year in which only one person passed the Exam, and that person's name was Ging." "Can you tell me more about him?" "Do you remember the Hunter I told you about who excavated the Lurka Ruins?" "That was Ging." "He also pioneered a method for breeding the two headed wolf." "And he discovered the Kongo gold mine." "Not to mention single-handedly wiping out the violent Coute gang." "The list of his accomplishments could get quite long." "His achievements are comparable to Triple Star Hunters." "We know him through his achievements only, though." "For years I've tried to learn more about him, with very little luck." "He's a mystery." "So, this Double Star Hunter card belongs to my dad!" "Gon!" "It's going to start soon!" "Okay!" "Thanks for everything, Mr. Satotz!" "Anytime." "Uh, Gon?" "Yeah?" "Eh... never mind." "See ya!" "I don't know what it is about that kid, but I can't help but feel moved to help him." "You almost let it slip, didn't you, Satotz?" "Yeah, that certainly was a close one." "Even though he's got his own Hunter License now, at this stage it's little more than a temporary permit..." "The Hunter Exam isn't quite over yet." "Please enjoy your last night here!" "Get in a little closer... now, say cheese!" "Yum!" "If the food's this good," "I think I'll sign up to be an examiner again next year." "If you call yourself a Gourmet Hunter, why don't you taste the food for a change?" "You know, you're always so..." "She always seems to lecture me whenever she gets drunk." "Hey there, Menchi, you sure look nice, you mind if I take your picture?" "Listen you!" "Is that anyway to talk to your senior?" "Obviously you still need to be taught a thing or two about what it means to be a Hunter!" "Sure, right there, say cheese!" "Cheese!" "Cheese!" "Cheese!" "Cheese!" "Cheese!" "Cheese!" "Cheese!" "I see." "You guys are not going with Gon, huh?" "I'm going to study and get into med school." "With my Hunter License, I won't have to pay the tuition fees." "And you, Kurapika?" "I'm going to go find a job where I can gain some experience and work my way up to becoming a Blacklist Hunter." "Then I guess this might be the last time the three of you are together." "I used to think that the first thing I'd wanna do when I passed the Hunter Exam would be to go back home to Whale Island and share the news with Aunt Mito." "I'm sorry." "I've got somewhere else I need to go first." "Kurapika!" "Help me!" "Get back here you pervert!" "You are not good enough to be a Hunter!" "I'll teach you a lesson!" "Okay then, once you step out of this building, you'll be Hunters, the same as all of us." "You'll be our friends, as well as our rivals." "I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope that our paths will cross again." "Dismissed." "See ya around." "If you wanna stay in touch, you have my home code." "Can't tell if it was a long time or not, but I had fun." "By the way..." "If you ever happen to visit my country, make sure you look me up." "I'll show you all the best spots tourists never even heard of." "He sure is one self assertive ninja." "Make sure to keep in touch..." "Don't forget!" "Okay!" "Take care!" "Goodbye, Chairman Netero and everyone!" "Thanks for all of your help, Satotz!" "It was my pleasure." "Take care of yourself!" "All right, see ya!" "Do I need to remind you again?" "Don't worry." "I won't lay a hand on him." "I try not to make enemies outside my business." "By the way, what's your plan now?" "I'm just going to be patient." "It takes time for fruit to ripen." "I can hardly wait." "I don't have to do anything." "He'll never make it anyway." "I guess this is it, huh?" "I don't wanna miss my flight, so I'm gonna go." "Goodbye, Leorio." "Kurapika." "Thanks a lot for everything, you guys!" "I'm really happy that I met both of you!" "Kurapika." "Leorio." "You go first." "No, you go first." "All right, at the same time..." "One, two, three." "I could study for med school..." "I could look for a job while we're traveling." "Gon, wait for us!" "Hey, Gon!" "Gon!" "Gon!" "Leorio!" "Kurapika!" "I guess we're destined to be together." "Yeah!" "Gon, I'll stick with you all the way to Padokea and beyond that to the ends of the earth!" "Hey look, down there!" "That's the hotel where we took the Final Exam!" "Chairman Netero, Mr. Satotz... see ya around!" "They can't hear you, you know." "The hiding place for the family of assassins!" "It was easy to find, but..." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Sightseeing x Landmark x Killua's House!" "Go through that door and you're Mike's food! Did you hear it?"

"As soon as possible." "I'll stick with you all the way to the ends of the earth, Gon!" "That flight was so relaxing!" "Well, this time we were in first class, not like when we flew during the Exam." "So what're we gonna do now?" "We'll take a train to Dendora from here." "Let's try to find our way to Kukuroo Mountain from there." "Okay." "So this is what a first class cabin looks like." "Wow!" "It's so soft!" "Ah, what the..." "What's the matter, Gon?" "This thing is too soft!" "It's hard to move!" "That's a good thing." "You're injured, so you should just stay there." "No way!" "But I was hoping we could go and explore the train together!" "Are you kidding?" "Never again with you!" "You always try to poke your nose where it doesn't belong." "I'll pass!" "So what am I supposed to do?" "Ask Kurapika, if you really wanna go." "Well, Kurapika?" "Huh?" "Oh, what were you saying, Gon?" "Never mind." "You can't even feel the train shaking in first class." "Yeah." "But how did we get one?" "I know there're only two first class cabins on this train." "It's because we have these." "Our license cards?" "That's right." "The Hunter Association receives priority seating on all major forms of transportation." "That's why it was so easy for us to get these seats." "This was covered during the orientation, remember?" "Really?" "You were busy thinking about how to find Killua." "No wonder you didn't learn much." "Well, whatever." "I'm just glad we get to ride in first class." "I can never get much sleep when I travel in coach." "There's a way, you know." "Huh?" "There's a way to sleep in coach." "Yeah?" "What is it?" "!" "It's actually very simple..." "Pretend these are the seats in coach." "You can't sleep in coach because of the armrests, right?" "Right." "So the question is, how do you get comfortable?" "In a case like this, you just have to..." "I'm a Hunter." "So why am I being taught how to travel in coach?" "Hey, Leorio, are you listening?" "Yeah, I'm listening." "There it is." "Killua lives on that mountain?" "Yeah." "Kukuroo Mountain is where the Zoldyck Family estate is located." "Now that I've seen it with my own eyes..." "It gives me the creeps." "We'll have to be very careful about how we do this." "I say we check into a hotel and come up with a plan." "Yeah." "And maybe ask some questions around the village." "We don't need to do that." "We're just here to visit a friend of ours." "Who knows, maybe he'll even let us stay overnight at his house!" "Are you really that clueless?" "This is a brand new tie!" "Come back here!" "Gon!" "I guess we don't have to worry about it too much." "Kukuroo Mountain?" "Ah, you wanna see the Zoldycks." "There's a tour bus that leaves from the village once a day." "A guide will even go along with you!" "A tour bus?" "They really have that?" "We didn't come here to sightsee..." "We have some business with the family." "There seems to be a lot of tourists who have "business" with the Zoldycks." "Well, anyway." "Your best bet is to take the bus." "Thanks a lot, ma'am!" "You're welcome." "How's everybody doing?" "Thank you for choosing Lamentation Tours." "I'll be your guide for the duration of the trip." "My name is Coco Loo." "Please call me Coco!" "Hi, Coco!" "I'm glad to be at your service!" "Looking forward to your service!" "Tell me, Coco..." "Uh, yes?" "!" "How long's it gonna take us to get to Kukuroo Mountain?" "We'll be there in about two hours." "Did you hear that?" "What should we do, make them step on it?" "The mountain's not going anywhere so let's just sit back and relax." "You can keep going, Coco." "Right!" "Now, I just have a few announcements." "Those guys don't look like tourists to me." "My guess is that they're bounty hunters who've come to try to bring in members of the Zoldyck Family for the reward money." "The woman from the village probably thought we were planning the same thing." "Also, please refrain from standing or sitting backwards while the bus is in motion." "All right, everyone, if you'll look out the windows to your left..." "Wow!" "This is Kukuroo Mountain, home to the infamous Zoldyck Family." "It's actually an extinct volcano surrounded by a beautiful, old growth forest." "It rises to an elevation of 3772 meters." "Legend has it that the Zoldyck family mansion is located on the summit... but no one has ever seen it." "The Zoldyck Family consists of the great grandfather, one set of grandparents, the parents, and five children." "And they're all assassins!" "We'll be moving just a bit closer to the mountain." "Well, this is... some gate, all right." "Um, this is the main gate to the Zoldyck Estate." "No one who has gone through those doors has lived to tell about it." "That's why it's known as The Door to Hades." "What the hell is Hades?" "It's the underworld." "I see..." "Excuse me..." "Uh, Miss?" "Please, you can call me Coco!" "Do you know how we can get inside there?" "Everything beyond that gate is Zoldyck Family property." "So this is as far as we go." "What?" "!" "I had a feeling it wasn't going to be that easy." "But we're not anywhere near the mountain yet!" "Are you telling me... we gotta go all..." "That's right." "They own the entire forest as well as Kukuroo Mountain itself!" "No way!" "So the land from way out there, all the way here is their yard?" "!" "Um, excuse me Miss?" "Uh, Miss?" "Coco?" "Yes, what is it?" "How do I get through the gate?" "Weren't you listening to what I just said, young man?" "Yeah, but I..." "You'll never make it out alive once you get in." "This is the home to assassins, remember." "Yeah, but I..." "I'm not buyin' it!" "The legendary family of assassins that nobody has ever seen." "Just the photos of them are said to be worth hundreds of millions!" "For real?" "Their notoriety is based on nothing but rumors." "I bet in reality they're not all that tough." "Wait!" "What are you planning to do?" "That's dynamite!" "You're gonna blow up the gate?" "!" "Please, stop!" "Don't do it!" "How reckless." "That didn't even make a dent!" "Damn, that gate's a lot stronger than I thought!" "No kidding." "Well, that was rather rough." "Things like that won't open the gate, you know." "The gatekeeper." "How convenient." "Open the gate." "I'll be in trouble if I did that." "My master would be mad at me." "Don't worry." "We'll take care of your master." "But, this gate!" "Just shut up and open it!" "Open it right now!" "Oh, those must be the keys." "Ow..." "Mister!" "You all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Listen you two, I wouldn't do that if I were you!" "Don't say I didn't warn you!" "Let's start the hunt for the Zoldycks!" "Don't drag me down!" "Right back at you!" "Oh, my." "Now they're gonna spoil Mike's appetite." "I'd better get ready." "Mike?" "Is that a cat or something?" "Don't know..." "My master gave me strict orders not to let Mike snack between meals." "Hey, Mike!" "You wanna get fat?" "!" "What a mess..." "What was that thing?" "You've just witnessed what happens to those who step inside..." "Never mind that!" "Just get us out of here!" "Jeez." "The bus is about to leave." "Oh, you go ahead." "We're gonna stay here." "Uh... sure, okay." "All right, let's go!" "Friends, huh?" "It's been a very long time since I last heard that word." "My name's Zebro, and I've been working here for twenty years, but you guys are the first to come here as friends." "And it warms my heart... it really does." "As an employee of the family, I probably shouldn't be saying this..." "But this is a very desolate place." "No one ever comes here to visit them." "Well, except for guys like that, of course, which we get plenty of." "For a notorious family of assassins, I guess that's to be expected." "It's a cursed profession, don't you think?" "Well, it was very nice of you to come all this way for a visit." "Thanks a lot." "It's no problem." "Hey, it's our pleasure." "I'm sorry... but there's still no way I can allow you to pass through those gates." "You saw that big, grisly paw earlier, right?" "Well, that belongs to Mike, the Zoldyck Family guard dog." "It's not a friendly dog and it only takes orders from family members." "It's still acting on orders given by its master over ten years ago." ""Kill the intruders."" "But he's not really supposed to eat them." "So I can't let you in, as long as Mike's on the job." "Especially if you're Master Killua's friends..." "I can't let you get killed." "But why doesn't Mike attack you?" "You have keys to the gate, which means you go inside." "Then why doesn't Mike attack you?" "Isn't it obvious?" "He works here as a gatekeeper." "But he just said that Mike isn't a friendly dog, and that he doesn't take orders from anyone other than family members." "Which means he has no control over him." "You also said that the orders are for him to kill the intruders." "I may be wrong, but under that order even the employees wouldn't be safe on the other side." "You make a good point." "But you've only guessed half of it." "When I go through the gate I don't use a key." "Those keys are meant for intruders." "Like those bounty hunters today." "Most of them come to the front gate in broad daylight." "And they try to force their way in by trying to break down the gate." "It's rather inconvenient for us, you know." "So I went to the trouble of having a side door installed, which has a lock..." "Because..." "When they realize they can't break through the main gate, they come after me and steal the keys." "And of course, once they get inside, Mike chews them up." "It's pretty clever, don't you think?" "I get it." "You're not really a gatekeeper are you?" "You're right, I'm not actually a gatekeeper." "I'm just the guy who cleans up after Mike." "And the reason you don't need a key and Mike doesn't attack when you walk through the main gate is because... it's not even locked, is it?" "You got it." "What?" "!" "These doors won't budge, no matter what I do!" "That's because you're not pushing hard enough." "You crazy?" "I'm giving it everything I've got!" "Now, now..." "This gate is also know as "The Testing Gate."" "If you can't even open it, then you have no business entering the Zoldyck property." "Just watch." "As you just saw, the gate slams shut as soon as you release it, so you have to move quickly." "Every year it gets a little harder for me to do that." "I'm desperate to keep up because once I'm unable I'm fired." "You're very keen." ""Do not attack anyone who enters the property through The Testing Gate..."" "That's the other order Mike's been given." "By the way, the doors of that first gate weigh about two tons each." "Two tons?" "!" "That's..." "Did I hear you say first gate?" "Yeah." "See for yourself." "There are seven gates in all." "And with each additional gate, the weight is doubled." "Doubled?" "!" "What gate number you open depends on how strong you can push." "By the way, when young Master Killua came home, he was able to open up the third gate." "The third gate..." "That's..." "Twelve tons!" "Actually, it's sixteen, Gon..." "Now you understand." "Just trying to get in takes this much effort." "They live in a completely different world." "I guess there's nothing we can do." "Of course there is!" "We can just call Killua and ask him to open it from the inside!" "Could you call Killua for us and tell him... that Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio are here to see him?" "Well, I..." "I can't do that." "Why not?" "!" "All you have to do is call him." "Once he knows we're here, I know he'll open the gate!" "You still can't do it?" "Well... the thing is, we have all sorts of rules and regulations here..." "I won't move from this spot until you call him!" "Well..." "My, that puts me in a bind." "Hey, you two!" "Wha..." "This isn't good." "All sorts of wild animals come out around here after the sun goes down." "Gon!" "It's okay, I'm fine." "Gon!" "There's nothing to be mad about." "You're not even hungry, are you?" "You were just feeling a little annoyed, weren't you?" "Just a little annoyed?" "I see..." "Good doggy!" "I give up." "With or without my help," "I'm sure you'll come up with a way to get in sooner or later." "And then you'll just be Mike's food." "And Mike and I would really regret it if Master Killua's friends were eaten." "Well, let's see what I can do." "Really?" "!" "Wearing the weights of 100kg feels like carrying a stone statue."

"Yes, hello..." "This is Zebro." "That's right." "Uh, sorry to bother you, but I have three young men here who say they are young Master Killua's friends." "I know, I'm sorry!" "Of course, I understand..." "Yes, goodbye." "I knew he'd get mad at me." "Did you just call his house?" "No." "I called the Zoldyck Family butler." "You can't speak to anyone in the family without going through him first." "They almost never answer the phone themselves." "Hey, Zebro?" "Yeah?" "Can you call again?" "I'll talk to him this time." "Okay, but it's not going to be a fun experience." "Thank you." "Hello, you've reached the Zoldyck Butler Quarters." "Hello?" "My name is Gon and I'm Killua's friend." "Can I speak to him please?" "Master Killua doesn't have any friends." "Hello, you've reached the Zoldyck Butler Quarters." "Um, what's that supposed to mean?" "Why can't I talk to..." "Master Killua doesn't have any friends." "Hello, you've reached..." "How do you know that he doesn't have any friends?" "!" "Let me talk to Killua right now!" "Did you say your name was Gon?" "That's right." "Let's assume for a moment that" "Master Killua is, in fact, friends with someone named Gon." "But there's no way for me to know that you really are him." "Put Killua on the phone, he can tell!" "You mean by the sound of your voice?" "I'm afraid that's not good enough." "Why not?" "!" "Put Killua on the phone, he can tell!" "It was just a recording, but there are so many other ways to imitate someone's voice." "Yeah, but..." "Now you're going to tell me that he'd know you if he sees you in person, right?" "Again, even though it's more difficult, there are ways to make yourself look like someone else." "Who knows, someone after Master Killua could be using Gon to get to him." "Assassination is the family business." "Naturally, this creates a lot of enemies." "But it's my job to make sure those enemies don't get anywhere near them." "So as long as you pose even the slightest threat to Master Killua... there's absolutely no way I can allow you to see him." "I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave." "Hey!" "Gon!" "What happened?" "What did he say to you?" "He said Killua doesn't have any friends." "He also said I may be after him so he can't allow me to see him." "But if he isn't gonna let me in..." "I'll find my own way!" "That's too dangerous!" "He's right!" "If you go over that wall, you'll be chewed up by pooch!" "Mike!" "I know that." "But I just don't get it!" "It's not right that I have to be tested to see my friend." "You guys wait for me here." "I'll go by myself." "Are you kidding?" "!" "There's no way you're gonna get past that monster all by yourself!" "I'll think of something." "What?" "!" "Would you two calm down?" "!" "Don't worry, it'll be all right!" "No, you won't!" "That's what I've been trying to tell you!" "You've left me no choice." "You wanna die or something?" "!" "Here, Gon, use this." "I'll be all right!" "Is that the key for the side door?" "Yeah." "No sense in breaking your neck trying to climb over the wall." "It's much easier to use the door." "Hold on..." "To tell you the truth," "I agree with what Gon was just saying." "It doesn't seem right that you have to be tested in order to see a friend." "But you can't force your way in." "Mike will kill you for sure." "But you've already proved how stubborn you are." "So I've decided to go inside there with you." "What?" "!" "There's a chance that Mike will recognize me if I'm with you, and he might not attack you." "Though the chances are very slim..." "We can't let you do that." "You've already gone out of your way so much to help us." "Well, I insist." "It would be the same fate either way." "I could never face young Master Killua if I let his friends get eaten by Mike without at least trying to help them." "If you die, then I die, too." "I'm really sorry..." "I wasn't thinking about you." "What a good kid." "He's very determined..." "Yet, he's willing to put aside his own desires for the sake of others." "He trusts himself and his friends." "He must be confident that they can overcome anything as a team..." "And that's not all..." "Hey, Gon, would you like to meet Mike?" "Huh?" "Sure." "Then I'll open the Testing Gate again so you can see him face to face this time." "Okay." "Hey, are you sure it's safe for us to be in here?" "Of course." "If you enter through the Testing Gate you're not considered an intruder." "Something's coming." "He's here!" "This is..." "This is Mike." "Now do you understand?" "This is a highly trained hunting beast." "You thought you'd be able to communicate with him..." "Until you looked into his eyes." "At the moment, Mike is getting to know you by memorizing your appearance and scent." "He doesn't care about anything else." "Like a machine..." "Exactly." "If the conditions are met, he'd kill me in a heartbeat, even though I see him everyday." "So, Gon..." "Can you fight him?" "I don't want to." "I'm scared..." "I don't want to fight him, ever..." "Such honesty." "We should probably get moving." "Huh?" "The servant's quarters aren't too far from here." "There's no sense chatting out here." "Come on, follow me." "Seaquant." "What do you know, we've got company." "I'll introduce you." "This is Seaquant, one of my colleagues." "These boys are friends of Master Killua's:" "Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika." "Nice to meet you!" "Master Killua's friends?" "Well, make yourselves at home." "Or try to, anyway, it won't be easy." "What does he mean by that?" "Okay, you three." "Come this way." "Go ahead and open the doors." "You just gotta push." "Here, I'll try!" "These doors... won't budge!" "Each door weighs 200kg." "All right!" "There ya go..." "That wasn't so tough." "They slam shut, just like the Testing Gate." "So you shouldn't really let up." "You could've told me sooner." "Well, come on in." "Thank you very much." "What's with these slippers?" "They each weigh 20kg." "Please come in." "Here you go." "Oh, thanks." "What's wrong?" "You'll see." "Go ahead and pick it up." "Right?" "This cup is a lot heavier than it looks." "In order to live here, we have to train ourselves constantly." "The inside of the Testing Gate sure isn't suited for average people." "Hey, we're Hunters!" "We can't be scared off so easily, right?" "You're Hunters?" "Yeah!" "We are all Hunters!" "Oh?" "Yeah, big deal." "What?" "!" "Even if you got a Hunter license that doesn't mean much..." "There are lots of times when it's completely useless." "I was watching you just now." "I bet you didn't even open the Testing Gate, did you?" "That's what I thought." "If you can't even open the gate you have no business being here." "You should go home now before you get hurt." "Hang on just a second!" "If I open the Testing Gate, will you take that back?" "!" "Leorio!" "Well, I'm gonna do it!" "I can't just stand here and let some guy who's not even a Hunter put us down like that!" "I'm gonna do it too!" "I'll keep on trying until I open the Testing Gate!" "Gon." "I just feel like, if I can't even open that gate... maybe I don't deserve to talk to someone in the Zoldyck family." "I know." "I'm just worried we won't have enough time." "Time?" "That's right!" "I seem to remember some young imbecile didn't wanna use his Hunter License, so he entered the country on a tourist visa." "That means you can only stay in Padokea for a maximum of a month." "But the three of you are young... so we should have enough time." "Would you like to train here with me at the house?" "Can we?" "!" "If you'd like to." "Let's do it!" "Thank you!" "I'm ready for it!" "Well then, why don't we get started right away?" "Yeah!" "My, my..." "This is part of our training?" "Yes." "Before you go to bed, I want you to clean the house." "Okay, consider it done!" "It's heavy!" "The broom and mop weight 25kg and the bucket weighs 30." "I thought so." "Let's get this over with." "It's not that difficult." "Just imagine carrying a person." "Oh that's right, one more thing..." "They weigh 100kg combined." "You should wear those at all times except while you're asleep." "Work hard." "Let's get started." "Yeah." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "I've already mopped over there!" "At this rate, we're going to be here all night long." "Oh?" "You haven't finished with this room yet?" "You still have to clean the second and third floors, you know?" "And please don't forget the bathrooms." "Is this actually training?" "Maybe he's just using us..." "That may be." "I'm here, Killua." "I'm not far from you." "We'll definitely see each other soon." "Leorio, where are you going?" "Number two..." "You okay?" "This is the first time I've ever heard you hum." "Yeah?" "Why did you bring them here?" "To ease your boredom?" "That kid, Gon, came all this way just to visit young Master Killua." "And he did so because they are friends." "I want him to be able to see him." "Don't be a fool." "It's not gonna happen, you know." "I know." "But there's just something about Gon that makes me think there's hope." "Don't get your hopes up too high." "Here." "Thank you." "You're working pretty hard, aren't you?" "Yeah!" "I wanna see Killua as soon as I can!" "You know, a few years ago... a Blacklist Hunter came here with a hundred of his finest men." "But..." "Before they could even reach the mansion, they were struck down into a pile of corpses." "And that's exactly what's gonna happen to you guys." "All that training for nothing." "You don't know that unless you try." "In this world, there are some things that are too difficult to achieve just by trying." "Everybody's got their limits." "No way!" "I'm not giving up until I see Killua!" "Suit yourself." "You almost got it!" "Keep pushing!" "It's no use!" "Just a little more and you would've had it." "Well, I should get going, it's almost time to switch shift." "No use." "Why won't they open?" "!" "It just proves that the world inside is that much tougher." "But we've been here ten days..." "I wonder if we're getting any stronger?" "I know." "There is this one." "What about it?" "I'm gonna try and see if I can open up this locked door." "But Mike will get you if you go through this door." "No, not if I don't go inside." "I guess not." "Right?" "Okay." "Now for the moment of truth..." "Has all this training made me stronger?" "Hurry, Leorio, get back!" "Mike's coming!" "What?" "!" "Leorio!" "Hurry!" "Come on!" "Leorio!" "He's not there!" "He wasn't crushed!" "How will he get back from there?" "!" "Mike's gonna find Leorio any second." "What should I do?" "What the hell..." "What are you doing?" "!" "Seaquant." "Gon!" "What have you done?" "!" "Well, we..." "No time to explain!" "Gon's trying to lure Mike away!" "Stupid kid!" "What was I thinking?" "!" "At this rate, Mike's gonna..." "Shit!" "What am I doing?" "!" "Oh, no!" "Gon's trapped!" "Damn it!" "What are you..." "Shut up!" "Just watch!" "Gon!" "Seaquant, isn't there something that we can do to stop Mike?" "No." "Mike's a hunting dog." "Only someone in the Zoldyck Family can stop him." "This is it!" "The whistle?" "!" "Gon!" "Gon!" "Hey, he's over here!" "You don't give up easily, huh?" "Here, grab my hand." "You're lucky." "It's almost like a miracle." "The enormous gate you see leads to the Zoldyck Estate, home of the family of assassins." "It is said that once you go through the gate, you'll never make it out alive." "Which is why it's also known as the Door to Hades." "Excuse me, Coco..." "Yes?" "Who are those people?" "Come on!" "A little more, Gon!" "Way to go!" "All right!" "You did it, Gon!" "With this, we've all made it!" "Wow, that's incredible." "You've all made it in just 20 days!" "Leorio is even more incredible!" "He was strong enough to open the second gate!" "Well, that doesn't really come as any surprise, does it?" "Uh, Coco, who are they?" "Umm, maybe they just came back from Hades..." "Zebro, Seaquant, thank you so much for all your help!" "Don't mention it." "Just look out for each other, okay?" "Right." "Now, follow the path that leads up the mountain." "I believe it will eventually take you to the Zoldyck house." "You don't know?" "No, to be perfectly honest, I've never been to the house." "Sorry I can't be of much help here." "You've done enough." "Well, it's time for us to go!" "Of course, good luck!" "They're really something." "Now do you understand why I was so hopeful?" "Yeah, sure I do." "But you know..." "The Testing Gate was nothing compared to what's next." "We'd done our research and we were well equipped." "But, 100 men fell in under five minutes... slaughtered by a single servant's apprentice." "And she was only a ten year-old girl at the time." "Yes, I remember how horrified you were..." "You gave up being a Blacklist Hunter and have been working as a gatekeeper." "So what?" "After what I'd seen, I knew I was in over my head." "They're all monsters living up there..." "The employers and the employees." "But... who knows?" "Maybe they've got a chance." "You know, I feel like being hopeful, too." "By the way, I heard you pointed your rifle at Mike while you were trying to save Gon." "Aren't you still young." "There's hope for you yet." "You are..." "We're on our way to the house, but there's this girl who won't let us get by." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Skateboard x Apprentice x Honesty!"

"Listen, you!" "Stop that!" "Act like an adult!" "But..." "Let me tell you one more time..." "Leave immediately." "This is the Zoldyck Estate." "No one enters without permission." "But I called ahead on the telephone, and all three of us got in through the Testing Gate." "And Zebro and Seaquant even told us to take this path up the mountain to the house." "But the butlers didn't give you permission, did they?" "Well, then how can we get permission to be here?" "!" "I'm Killua's friend, but nobody's letting me talk to him!" "Who knows?" "There has never been a precedent." "So I guess we have no choice but to trespass?" "Yes, it would appear so." "In any case..." "I'm afraid this is where I stop being nice." "If you put one foot across this line, I will remove you by force." "Gon!" "Let me handle this." "Gon!" "Damn you!" "What did you do that for?" "!" "What, you ask?" "I just removed him by force, just as I warned I would." "So you are not to be blamed, huh?" "I did make myself very clear." "If that's the way you want it..." "Don't be rash!" "I won't hold back!" "Since this is your first time here, I'll let you off with a warning." "But next time... you won't be so lucky." "Don't... cross this line." "Damn." "What was with that girl?" "!" "Ow, ow, ow..." "Well you did charge right up to her." "You should know by now that I'm not as level-headed as you are." "Gon..." "It looked to me like she was holding back her true strength." "Yeah, I don't think we've even seen the half of it." "Seriously?" "!" "You think she took it easy on us?" "If she really wanted to get rid of us, she could've simply killed all of us with the end of that cane." "But instead, she decided to let us go with another warning." "Why was that?" "Seaquant told me something earlier..." "He said a few years ago, a Blacklist Hunter led a hundred men in an attack, but all of them were killed before they got to the house." "I think she might be the one who did it." "Hey, Gon!" "You knew all that and still acted recklessly?" "!" "Oh man, seriously, I'm gonna need another twelve lives to live if I keep hanging around with you." "Anyway, I think it's worth it for us to take another shot." "Now hold on." "There's gotta be a less dangerous way than going up against a monster like that." "Like... why don't we go over to that fence there and jump over it?" "I'd advise against that." "If our experience with the Testing Gate and Mike has taught us anything, it's that unless we follow a proper procedure, the consequences will be severe in this place." "Though it looks plain at first glance, anything could happen if you cross there." "It would be wiser to make strategy against the visible threat rather than risking the unknown." "Guess I'm not as smart as you." "I bet that's why Zebro told us to take this path in the first place." "I see your point..." "So, let's hear your strategy then." "Hey, hey." "Well, for now, why don't we go back there and try talking to her again." "We could start from there." "Oh, well then..." "Let's go!" "I appreciate your kindness, Master, but..." "I can't accept this." "I'm very sorry." "What's the matter, Gon?" "See that?" "It's Killua's skateboard." "Something must have happened here." "Yeah." "It's hard to imagine Killua would just leave it there like that." "You haven't learned your lesson." "Are you here to get hit again?" "No." "We've got no intention of fighting you at all." "The only thing we wanna do is see Killua." "You may not believe it, but we're his friends." "The three of us met him during the Hunter Exam." "That's irrelevant." "Your reasons for being here mean absolutely nothing to me." "I have my orders from my employer." "It's that simple." "Oh, gimme a break!" "It seems to me like you're just another version of Mike." "Exactly." "Look here..." "She already warned us before." "We won't get a second chance." "Right." "That's Killua's skateboard, isn't it?" "Yes, that's right." "I wonder what it's doing over there." "Master Killua gave it to me as a present." "He gave it to you?" "But why?" "He didn't tell me why, he just gave it to me." "I'm sorry, but that's a little hard for us to believe because during the Hunter Exam, he hardly ever went anywhere without that thing." "More than that." "He's rarely been seen without it since he got it as a child." "In any case!" "The fact that Killua loved that skateboard is certain." "And I for one don't think he'd just give it to someone without some kind of explanation!" "We've got no intention of fighting you here." "We just want to pass through." "However..." "If something happened here that forced Killua to leave his precious skateboard..." "And if we find out you had anything to do with that, then..." "Then what?" "We won't hold back either." "And we're not gonna give you any second chances either." "Um, excuse me..." "Did he really give you his skateboard without saying why?" "That's correct." "Are you sure?" "If you don't want to believe me, that's fine by me." "All right, then may I try to prove that's true." "You want to prove it?" "Yup." "And how do you propose to do that?" "Just like this." "You held back again." "I thought you weren't going to do that again." "That was my mistake." "You all have such good reflexes." "But I hope you got the point." "You don't belong in this place." "Go home." "You're right." "She's definitely going easy on us." "Yes." "She truly has what it takes to take us down." "But why would a master of her level trouble herself to go easy on us?" "If we can find out the reason..." "We may find the way to get through her." "Exactly." "But do you seriously believe there would be such reason?" "Look at her face, it gives nothing away." "If physical appearance alone is all one needs to judge," "I never would've understood why you wanted to be a Hunter either, Leorio..." "Leorio, Kurapika... please don't do anything." "Leave this to me." "Gon..." "Gon!" "Gon!" "I'm fine..." "What's with her?" "She'll attack a defenseless person without even batting an eyelash!" "I don't like it." "Even though I'm no match for her, I'll fight her with everything I got." "I've got dirt in my mouth." "It's getting hard to tell my blood from my spit." "Enough." "Please stop." "Please, don't come." "Please give up already..." "It's useless." "You see that, don't you?" "!" "You can never cross this line!" "It's impossible." "Why don't you stop him?" "Aren't you his friends..." "Who are you?" "Huh?" "You didn't tell me before..." "So, who are you?" "Me?" "I'm a servant's apprentice of the Zoldyck Family." "No..." "Your name." "Tell me your name." "I'm an apprentice..." "Training to become a servant." "I haven't been given permission to tell you." "But they didn't actually say you couldn't tell someone your name, did they?" "I will ask you one more time." "Who are you?" "I'm..." "Canary." "I see." "So your name is Canary." "I answered your question, will you please leave now?" "Miss Canary?" "What is it?" "We've come all this way to see Killua." "Could you let us through?" "Master Killua is the precious heir of the Zoldyck Family." "He's not someone any ordinary person can just come and visit as they please." "And besides people like you aren't qualified to be his friends." "To be friends with someone you don't need qualifications." "I told Killua's brother the same thing." "You don't qualify to be a friend." "You just are." "No, that isn't true." "I don't know how things are out there, but around here you just can't say naive things like that!" "Everyone has his or her own place and there are lines you should never cross." "That's why I am protecting this line." "You can't just walk into someone else's world and force your opinion on them!" "That's the kind of place this is!" "Hey, Canary?" "Step back!" "You know that story you told us about Killua giving you his skateboard?" "I'm starting to think it's true." "And if it is, then you're..." "You're Killua's friend too, aren't you?" "And because you are..." "You understood that we are his friends, too..." "That's why you took it easy on us." "You're wrong." "I am not Master Killua's friend..." "And he didn't really give me that skateboard as a gift." "The truth is..." "He just dropped it there." "I was only imagining that it was given to me." "I'm just an apprentice servant." "I shouldn't even be thinking about being a friend with my master." "Why, just because of your status?" "Yes..." "I'm just..." "like Mike." "I only exist to carry out my master's orders." "That's how it is." "Who are you?" "My name is Gon Freecss." "Killua's a friend of mine." "And I came here in order to see him." "What about you?" "I'm... a servant to the Zoldyck Family and..." "You are Canary, right?" "It doesn't matter if you're an apprentice!" "You're Canary, first and foremost!" "You've drawn a line on your own and you won't step over it just because you are a servant." "But why do you make such a big deal of it?" "Because!" "Those are the rules..." "Because of the rules?" "That's right!" "Then what about Killua?" "Because of the rules..." "Did Killua actually say you couldn't be his friend because you're only an apprentice?" "You're new here, aren't you?" "Yes, my name is Canary, Master Killua." "Hmm, Canary, huh?" "Here, let me give you this." "Oh, no, I could not." "I cannot accept." "Why not?" "Just take it." "No." "Just the fact that you offered it to me is enough, Master Killua." "Enough with the master stuff." "Just call me Killua." "Oh no, I couldn't do that." "I'm just a servant, and you are my master." "What's up with that?" "It's okay." "Just be friends with me." "I'm sorry, Master Killua..." "But I'm only here to serve you." "Fine." "I'm very sorry, Master Killua." "Master Killua spoke to me kindly like an equal..." "But..." "But then I..." "I said terrible things to him." "What should I do?" "You see, that wasn't so hard." "That proves you're different than Mike." "No matter how hard you try to deny your feelings, they're still there." "Every time we mention Killua's name and every time you say his name..." "Your eyes become gentle." "Please..." "Please help Master Killua." "He can't see us now?" "!" "Killua really said that?" "!"

"Illumi's told me all about you." "Kil is also aware that you have ventured onto the premises." "He asked me to pass along a message." "I'll relay it to you word for word." ""Thank you for visiting me." "It makes me really happy." "But, right now..." "I can't see you." "Sorry."" "I found him..." "Yeah, sure!" "No problem." "Kil!" "You know, Mom's really mad at you." "She told me to do whatever's necessary to keep you from leaving here." "Did you hear what I said?" "!" "Damn you!" "K-Kil!" "Are you sorry for what you've done?" "Or maybe it's just that you got no more energy to even speak?" "C'mon, say something..." "Wake up!" "Oh hey, good mornin', bro!" "Do you know what time it is?" "Don't get carried away..." "Kil!" "That's hot!" "C'mon, you know I'm really sorry." "I was way outta line, my bad, bro." "You liar!" "Not convincing enough?" "Damn you!" "Kil..." "I'll tell you something interesting." "Apparently the guys who claim to be friends of yours have made it almost all the way to the butlers' quarters." "You look happy." "Not really..." "Their curiosity must be getting the better of them." "Or maybe they're just that stupid." "What do you think I should do?" "Should I give Mom a call?" "All I'd hafta do is ask her to give the order to the butlers, and then that's the last we'd hear of those three..." "Listen to me, Milluki." "Lay so much as a finger on them..." "And I'll kill you." "I'm coming in." "I think that's enough, Mil." "Come on, Grandpa Zeno!" "He's not sorry at all!" "Don't you think I know that?" "Kil..." "You're free to go now." "Okay." "My, that was painful." "Even though I'd do the same thing next time, I am sorry, bro." "That's why I let you get away with hitting me." "Kil, Silva wants to see you." "The old man?" "All right." "So, Gon's getting closer..." "My goodness, I almost forgot to introduce myself." "I'm Killua's mother." "And this..." "This is Kalluto." "That's Killua's..." "That's his mother?" "As Killua said in his message, he's in no condition to see you right now." "May I ask you to leave and come another day?" "I was wondering if you could tell us why he couldn't see us?" "It's because he's in solitary confinement." "Solitary confinement?" "!" "Killua attacked both me and his brother, then ran away from home." "But he regretted his actions, and when he finally decided to come back home, he let himself be locked up by his own will." "So even I don't know when he would be out..." "Kil?" "Killua is gone!" "What are you doing, Grandpa?" "Why do you have to interfere?" "!" "He should still be chained up!" "Really!" "Oh, this is a trouble!" "Please excuse me, I have an urgent matter to attend to." "Please come again." "Excuse me, wait!" "Please, ma'am, would you let Killua know we'll be in the area for ten more days?" "I understand." "I'll be sure to tell him." "Good day." "Kalluto!" "What are you waiting for?" "!" "Let's go!" "Yes, Mother." "Maybe not a nice thing to say, but those two give me the creeps." "I don't believe that Killua would come back here voluntarily." "Gon, we can't turn back now." "Whaddya say we follow them, even if it's unreasonable?" "Yeah..." "But, if we do that..." "I have a feeling that Canary is gonna be held responsible." "You're probably right." "Don't worry." "I'll take you to the butlers' quarters." "There you can get a direct telephone line to the Zoldyck mansion." "Then I can talk to Killua?" "If Master Zeno answers... then maybe." "Damn it!" "You are always too easy on Killua, Grandpa Zeno." "That's why he acts like a spoiled brat!" "Well, he happens to be very special." "Tell me... how much potential do you think your brother has, Mil?" "Of course, he's amazing." "He's probably the most naturally gifted child even within the long family history of the Zoldycks." "Mommy said as much." "And, well, I think so too." "But!" "As an assassin he is a failure." "He's too unpredictable." "And someone who would be making a friend could never lead the Zoldyck Family!" "In conclusion, he's a wimp at heart." "You may have a point there." "Hey, in that regard," "I, on the other hand, would take care of anybody any day with commission." "Oh yeah!" "Just wait till you see my latest bomb, Grandpa!" "It's super tiny!" "I can attach it to a mosquito, and whoever it bites next..." "It blows up in the instant!" "Pretty cool, huh?" "!" "The explosion's only as big as a firecracker, and it's pretty much impossible to get a mosquito to target who you want, but still..." "Mil, you're a sharp kid... but an idiot." "Ah, dear!" "Killua's leaving!" "Stop him!" "Dear!" "Killua's leaving..." "Dear!" "Is that you, Killua?" "Come on in." "Killua." "How long are you planning to stand there?" "Come and sit down." "Yeah, okay." "So I hear you've made some friends." "Yeah." "What are these friends like?" "I dunno... they're fun to be around." "I see..." "How was the exam?" "It was pretty easy." "When you left... you said you wanted to live your own life, that the future was yours to decide." "Wasn't that right?" "And you took the Hunter Exam." "Well, I never actually wanted to become a Hunter." "That is not the issue." "Your brother, Illumi, tells me that you had enough with killing people, is that right?" "Why?" "Of all my five children, I myself chose you to be my heir." "And even after all that's happened, I still think I've made the right decision." "Kil... are you really tired of being an assassin?" "Actually, I used to think it was something that suited me." "You used to?" "The training and the assignments both suited me..." "Even the Hunter Exam..." "I thought it would be like a game." "But... when I started spending more time with Gon," "I realized I was having more fun than I'd ever have doing an assignment." "Gon..." "So, this Gon is the friend you made." "Don't worry, Kil." "I wouldn't do anything to hurt your friends." "You know..." "When I told Gon I was from a family of assassins, it didn't seem to bother him one bit." "I've seen him do some of the craziest things." "He really is unique." "I never get bored around him." "It's the first time..." "I've met someone like him." "It's been a long time..." "Since I've seen you smile like this." "Come over here and sit with me." "Tell me about your journey." "Tell me about the Exam and where you went and who you met, what you learned..." "Tell me everything." "Kil..." "Okay." "Oh, my!" "What have you done to your brother?" "!" "Wait, Kil!" "Listen to me, I'm your mother!" "Kalluto?" "What are you doing?" "!" "We have to hurry!" "Yes, Mother." "How dare Grandpa Zeno do that without asking me!" "What Kil needs right now is the proper discipline." "He can't go off thinking that he can make friends and act like a regular kid!" "Oh, Kil, don't you know how I feel?" "!" "And now he's gone off to lark about with Dad!" "I won't forgive this!" "That thing earlier..." "You think something happened to Killua?" "Probably, his mom suddenly started acting up." "Maybe she had to go to the bathroom." "Master Killua?" "It's useless." "I don't know what Gotoh told you, but don't stop me." "I'm serious about this." "Yes..." "I understand." "You mean you're not here to stop me?" "!" "I am..." "But..." "First and foremost, I must obey your order, Master Killua." "Tell me..." "What's your name." "My name is Canary." "Hmm, Canary, huh?" "Take care of yourself..." "Canary." "You too, Master Killua." "I wish you the best of luck." "And then you know what Gon said to Hanzo?" "!" "He said, "I don't wanna be stabbed, but I don't really wanna give up either."" "He's so selfish!" "He sounds like a funny kid, this Gon." "Right?" "Then he..." "Kil..." "Do you want to see your friend?" "There's nothing to be afraid of, just be honest with me." "I am not qualified to be Gon's friend anymore." "We got along great." "But I left him..." "I left my friend." "Is that the reason you can't see them?" "Why do you suppose they've risked their lives to enter the Zoldyck Estate?" "Instead of regretting what you've done in the past, why don't you be honest with your current feelings?" "Come to think of it..." "This is the first time you and I have ever spoken to each other as father and son." "Since my parents raised me to be an assassin," "I forced that to you too." "But you're not like me." "It wasn't until you left home that I was able to see that." "You may be my son, however..." "You have your own life to live." "Follow your own path." "And... if that doesn't work out, you can always come back." "All right?" "I'll ask you again..." "Do you want to see your friends?" "I understand." "You're free to do as you please." "But you must swear to one thing." "Swear that you'll never betray them." "Okay?" "I swear, I won't betray them." "Never." "Kil." "It's useless." "Those three just left." "You should go back to your cell." "Kil?" "!" "No way." "I'm leaving." "But you can't!" "Do you have any idea how we feel about you?" "It's not just me!" "We all worry for your sake!" "Yet you..." "You're annoying." "That's enough, Kil!" "Step aside." "Kil..." "Amazing!" "What a splendid icy glare you have!" "What in the world were you thinking?" "!" "I'm talking to you, too, Grandpa." "And after Illumi went to all of that trouble to get him to come home!" "Just let him be for a while." "That won't do!" "Aren't you worried?" "!" "You know, as well as I do, that now is the most important time for Killua's development as the future heir of the Zoldyck Family!" "Are you listening to me?" "!" "Are you, dear?" "!" "If you understand that, quit babbling and close your mouth!" "Don't worry about it." "You saw the look in Kil's eyes just now..." "That boy of ours is developing in his own way little by little..." "One day he'll return." "Even if he goes to the end of the world, he'll never find anywhere else to belong but here..." "Because he is my son." "There it is." "You mean that's the butlers' quarters?" "To me that looks like a Zoldyck mansion." "The entire mansion is just the butlers' residence." "What?" "Then Killua's not in there?" "No." "The main house is farther up." "This is definitely a different world from the one we live in." "We get to see Killua now!" "But first we have to play a game?"

"We appreciate your hospitality, but we're only here to see Killua." "If you could, we'd like you to guide us to the main mansion as soon as possible." "I'm afraid that won't be necessary." "Why is that?" "Because Master Killua is on his way here at the moment." "He is?" "!" "You sure?" "!" "Yes." "He'll be here shortly." "All right!" "Finally we get to see Killua!" "I wonder what he's gonna do when he sees us?" "!" "Me too!" "I can hardly wait to see him." "By the way..." "Just waiting would bore you and probably make it feel longer than it is." "So I've got an idea." "Why don't we play a little game?" "A game?" "Yes." "But it's a very simple game." "Nothing at all." "You could say it's our way of welcoming you here." "If it's not any trouble, I would love for you to participate." "Yeah, okay!" "Well, then." "Is everyone ready?" "Now then... which hand do you think the coin is in?" "In your left hand!" "You are correct!" "Let's try that again, only faster this time." "Which hand is it in now?" "You're right, that was pretty fast." "But I could still see it." "Yeah." "Your left hand again!" "You're right again, very impressive." "Oh, that really was nothing at all." "All right." "Next time, I will be a bit more serious." "Serious?" "So what were you just doing?" "Something like a warm-up for your eyes." "All right..." "Watch closely now." "Well?" "Which hand?" "I think I know, but I'm not sure..." "Think very carefully before answering..." "This is where the real game starts." "The real game?" "Yes." "If you answer incorrectly... then you're out!" "I've known Master Killua since the day he was born." "It's not my place to say this, but I care about him as I would my own son." "To be completely honest..." "The thought of you taking Master Killua away from here infuriates me." "Which hand is it in?" "My right or my left..." "Answer now." "Your left!" "When I spoke to the Lady on the phone, I could hear the pain in her voice." "She has decided to let her son go, even though it breaks her heart." "That's unforgivable." "Before Master Killua arrives there's something I need to decide." "And I will make our own judgment in our own way." "You have no choice in the matter." "You guys!" "Don't move!" "If you make any further action, her head will roll." "She is a good for nothing that couldn't do what she was asked to do." "Her life has no worth to us." "Gon!" "Listen to me." "From now on anyone who makes a mistake and guesses incorrectly is out." "And if it just so happens that all three of you are out before Master Killua arrives..." "I'll simply tell him that you've gone on ahead..." "To a place from which you'll never return." "All right." "Let's begin." "Where's Killua?" "Silence!" "At this moment you're living on borrowed time." "Just... answer my questions like the idiots you are." "We understand." "Please begin." "That's fast..." "His hands are moving several times faster than before." "Much too fast for anyone with ordinary dynamic visual acuity." "It's no use." "It's too fast for me!" "So tell me, which hand?" "I'm not sure..." "Stop dawdling!" "You have only until the count of three." "One..." "Two..." "Three." "Hey, chop off her head!" "Okay." "Just wait!" "It's in the left!" "And I say right!" "Yeah, me too!" "One of you is out now." "I'm counting on you, Gon, Kurapika." "I'll start." "No good, I can't see!" "Which hand?" "I choose... your right hand." "Then..." "I'll choose your left hand!" "I see." "Even if you were just guessing, if you say both, there would be no chance of both of you being eliminated." "The correct answer is my left hand." "And now there's only one of you." "Gon..." "It's time to use those natural instincts of yours!" "Here we go." "Wait a minute!" "What now?" "If you're just trying to stall for time..." "I'll have her killed." "No, that's not it." "I was just wondering if I could borrow that fruit knife for a second?" "You don't need to worry." "I promise not to do anything stupid." "Very well." "I get it." "He's lancing his eyelid to reduce the swelling!" "Why did you abandon your post?" "Gon is friends with Master Killua, and went through a lot to get this far..." "That's not what I asked you!" "What I want to know is why you led them here to us?" "Taking care to void all the traps on the way." "It's because... they really are friends." "Because Gon..." "Because I saw that Gon is a true friend of Master Killua's," "I decided to bring them here." "All right." "Okay, I can see better!" "Bring it on!" "Here we go." "Which hand?" "Your left!" "If Gon is mistaken we all will be out with this." "You are good." "Then how about this?" "Now then..." "Who has the coin?" "G-Gon!" "The guy standing behind me has it!" "What?" "!" "Are you sure?" "Outstanding!" "That was very well done." "Truly amazing." "Well done, kid!" "Hey, Gotoh!" "Killua!" "It seems we took things a little too far." "I deeply apologize." "But you have to admit, it did help us pass the time, didn't it?" "So what you said earlier was to make the game more fun?" "Yes." "You're right, the time just flew by!" "And I hafta say, you gave an impressive performance!" "I'm exhausted thanks to you!" "I sincerely apologize." "Nah." "Don't worry about it." "You're too kind." "Killua!" "Gon!" "It's been a while!" "Thanks for coming all the way!" "Yeah!" "What happened?" "Your face is a mess!" "So is yours!" "And you guys, eh, Kurapika and Reolio!" "It's Leorio!" "So we get the side treatment?" "Oh yeah." "We should get going right away." "I don't even care where we go." "How come?" "'Cause if I stay here, my mom would bother me again." "Oh, right, Gotoh?" "Yes?" "Listen." "No matter what my mom told you, I don't want you following me!" "As you wish, Master." "Please be careful." "Prepare for the departure of Master Killua and his friends." "Yes, sir!" "Okay, let's go, Gon." "Ah, just a minute." "Canary?" "You don't need to worry about Killua." "Yes." "I'll leave him to you." "Okay, whatever." "Let's get outta here!" "Right this way." "Whom might this luggage belong to?" "Canary..." "Yes?" "There's a job for you." "Yes!" "Excuse me, Master Killua!" "What is it, Gotoh?" "Did you already forget?" "I'll go even if you stop." "No." "Canary has business with you." "Master Killua..." "I brought this." "It's fine." "You hang onto it for me, Canary." "See ya!" "As you wish, Master." "Hey, Mr. Gotoh!" "What is it?" "You'll miss Killua when he's gone, won't you?" "Oh, no." "We butlers serve our employers without any kind of personal or emotional attachment whatsoever." "Liar." "Hey, Gon!" "Now, which hand?" "It's in your left, isn't it?" "No way!" "Yes, it was all a trick." "Sometimes this world can be a very unfair place." "Please be careful." "And look after Master Killua for me." "I know, he got me with that one, too." "When he revealed his trick, it was so infuriatingly simple." "It probably works something like this." "Which hand?" "Which?" "I mean, it's in your left hand." "Huh?" "How?" "I don't get it!" "In short, Gotoh had two coins with him." "He concealed one coin in his right hand..." "While he flipped with the second coin." "He catches it with left hand in the way you would see." "This is where the trick comes in." "When he asks you to guess which hand the coin is in, he raises his arms so that you can only see the backs of his hands." "And the coin slips into his sleeve." "And the coin in the right hand is left." "That's exactly right." "That is so annoying!" "Well, to be fair, he probably only used that trick for the last one." "Even though it's just a game, Gotoh doesn't like to cheat." "I'm sure you're right." "Killua?" "Gotoh's a nice guy, isn't he?" "What makes you say that?" "Just a feeling..." "I don't know what kind of person he is." "All I know is that he's honest." "That's what I thought." "He looks like he'd be scary when he's mad." "He sure is!" "That look alone gives me nightmares!" "Anyway, I'm glad!" "Whaddya mean?" "I got to see you again, Killua." "Oh, that." "For a while I thought we'd never meet again." "True." "I thought I'd maybe never see you again myself." "But now, we should be together for a while." "Yeah." "Even my dad gave me an okay." "And after that warning I gave Gotoh, we have nothing to worry about." "We can go wherever we want!" "Yeah." "What are your plans, Gon?" "Are you going to look for your father, or are you going home first?" "Neither." "I'm gonna punch Hisoka in the face, then give him back his ID Badge." "I can't even think about finding my dad, or visiting Aunt Mito until I've dealt with that." "Is that so?" "And do you know where to find Hisoka?" "Umm, well..." "Idiot." "Well that figures." "I know where you can find him, Gon." "What?" "!" "Really?" "Yes, Hisoka told me so himself." "During your match?" "No, it was after that." "It was?" "Yeah." "I questioned him after the orientation was over." "On September 1st, I'll be waiting for you in Yorknew City." "He said Yorknew City?" "So, if I go there, Hisoka will be there?" "Yeah." "You can count on that." "But September 1st is still six months away." "Is there anything going on in Yorknew City then?" "There's an auction, the biggest in the world!" "That's right." "From September 1st to the 10th, they're auctioning off a vast collection of the most rare and valuable artifacts from every country in the world." "They attract all sorts of seasoned collectors and men from all avenue of life seeking to satisfy their greed." "More money is concentrated there than any other place or time in the world." "Think the Phantom Troupe will be there?" "It's entirely possible." "At the least, I'm sure to find a great number of their associates gathered there." "Then, Kurapika, you'll..." "Yeah, I'm afraid this is where we part ways." "We did meet Killua again." "And I have to make some money if I want to participate in the auction." "Money, huh." "Yeah." "I must start looking in earnest for employers to hire me as a Hunter." "I see." "Kurapika, let's meet up in Yorknew City." "I'll be there!" "If I run into Hisoka before you, I'll make a priority of letting you know." "Thanks!" "Then I think I'll be going back home." "You're leaving, too?" "!" "Well, from the start, my objective was to be a doctor." "And now thanks to this, I won't have to pay the outrageous tuition fees." "So I'm gonna get home and hit those books hard!" "I see." "It will be sad, but I guess it can't be helped." "Do your best, Leorio!" "Sure, Gon." "Over these last few months, I learned a little about tenacity from you." "We'll meet up again." "The next time it will be..." "September 1st... in Yorknew City!" "Yeah!" "I'll be looking forward to it." "It's sad to be parting with everyone, but for now, I'll be with Killua!"

"If the distance between them represents the difference in their fighting ability..." "Then I would put you right here." "And that's being really generous!" "That ticks me off a little." "Then, where would that put you, Killua?" "!" "Me?" "Well, let me see..." "I guess I'd probably be right around here." "In my normal mode, that is." "Aren't I modest?" "So Hanzo's stronger than you are." "What is it?" "You're pretty amazing, you know that?" "Don't say that with a straight face!" "You are embarrassing me." "I have no idea how to measure my opponents' strength." "Idiot." "It's nothing." "I was just doing guess work anyway." "So you were just guessing then?" "But you do kinda get it yourself, don't you?" "When you've got more experience under your belt, you'll get better at gauging strength." "Besides, people with the most skill are often the best at hiding it." "It won't do you any good to rely too much on this stuff." "Anyway, we already know that Hisoka's really tough." "Yeah." "You could never get a blow in on him if you were doing an ordinary thing." "Yeah." "Gon." "You got any money?" "I'm actually running a little low." "I don't really have that much either." "But there's a place we can kill two birds with one stone." "Over there..." "See that?" "!" "The place where you can get training to kick Hisoka's ass, plus make some money while you're at it." "That's where we are going now." "I wonder how all those recently graduated Hunters are doing right now." "It's hard to say for sure." "Some of them will be making a lot of money." "Some will be making their mark in history." "And others will be failing miserably." "What happens each year is always different." "But... if there's one thing I know for certain..." "It's that sooner or later they will all face the same challenge." "It could be within half a year." "Or several years from now." "It just depends." "But everyone will inevitably come upon that trial in due time." "They will be so surprised, I'm sure." "But it seemed to me, that this year, some of the applicants might have already known of it." "We had an exceptional group, didn't we?" "What they do when the time comes will decide if they can be true Hunters or not." "I know it's the same every year..." "But, Mr. Chairman, you could be a little less mischievous." "Now why would I do that?" "What kind of teacher... lets the students have the answers before they even take the test?" "You have a point." "In any case, it'll be interesting to see what happens." "All right, then..." "Are you leaving now, sir?" "No, more tea please." "We're here, Gon!" "That's Heavens Arena." "It's 3,250 feet tall and has 251 floors." "They say it's the fourth tallest building in the whole world." "For every fight you win, you get a prize and move higher and higher." "And the way it works here is, the higher you go, the bigger the prize money gets." "So that's how it works." "So this is what you meant by getting money while honing our skills." "We can still make a lotta money even if we don't force ourselves to get all the way to the top." "Well, since we spent the last of our cash on the tickets to get on this airship, we're starting with nothing." "Let's go." "Yeah!" "Everyone looks so tough." "Not really." "They're not?" "Nope." "Welcome to Heavens Arena." "Please fill out this registration form and bring it back to me." "Osu!" "Wh-What was that?" "Osu!" "Hey, it's just a little kid." "The rules are very simple." "You can use any means." "All you have to do is defeat your opponent." "We know the rules, thank you." "Let's go, Zushi." "Yes!" "Master!" "What's with that guy, anyway?" "Okay, next!" "Where it says fighting experience, put down ten years." "Welcome to Heavens Arena." "That'll get us to the higher floors faster." "Please make sure you've completely filled out your registration form." "The rules are very simple." "You can use any means..." "Brings back memories." "This place hasn't changed a bit." "What?" "You mean you've been here before?" "Yeah." "When I was six years old." "My dad left me here without any money." "He said I couldn't come home until I reached the 200th floor." "Back then, it took me two whole years." "T-Two years?" "!" "Hey, don't look so surprised." "If you want to fight against someone like Hisoka here, you'll hafta go even higher than that." "Oh... okay." "Contestants 1973 and 2055, please report to Ring E for your match." "Oh!" "That's me." "Oh, I'm kinda getting nervous." "Gon, back at my place, you got through the Testing Gate, right?" "Yeah." "Then, you'll be just fine." "All you gotta do is..." "What?" "Are you sure?" "Contestants, step into the ring." "Hey, look at that, it's a kid." "Hey kid, you should run while you still got a chance!" "This isn't child's play!" "Go easy on the kid, will ya?" "You're kiddin' me, right?" "Well, I'm actually serious..." "I think." "It'll be your own fault if you get killed." "The big guy really lucked out!" "Get the kid out the ring in one hit!" "The purpose of the first floor match is to evaluate each of your skill levels." "You have a three minute time limit to demonstrate just how strong you really are." "Three minutes?" "!" "Maybe three seconds." "Contestants ready?" "!" "Begin!" "One..." "Two..." "All I've gotta do is..." "Push!" "Three!" "All right!" "I guess I've gotten quite a bit stronger." "Where the hell did that kid come from?" "He just can't be human." "Number 2055..." "Yes?" "You may advance to the 50th floor." "Best of luck." "Thanks!" "I'm going to the 50th floor!" "You did it!" "Contestants 2054 and 2039 report to Ring A." "Yes!" "Good luck." "This'll be so easy." "Hey, you guys!" "Cheer for my friend Killua too, all right?" "!" "Y-Yes, sir." "I'll cheer him on with all I got!" "You're awesome, Killua!" "Isn't he?" "Oh, I see you've been to the 200th floor once before." "Your move just now was pretty splendid." "I'm sending you to the 180th floor." "That high from the get go?" "!" "Oh." "I'll be fine on the 50th floor." "I wanna take it easy." "Look!" "There's another incredible kid!" "Osu!" "It's that kid from before." "You win." "You may advance to the 50th floor." "Osu!" "This building is separated into 27 floor divisions up to the 200th floor." "You see, if a contestant on the 50th floor wins," "Hi, my name is Zushi." "What are your names?" "he advances to the 60th floor division." "I'm Gon, nice to meet you." "However, if he loses, he has to move down to the 40th floor." "And I'm Killua." "Osu!" "Nice to meet you, too!" "For your information, once you've worked your way up to the 100th floor, you're entitled to a private room." "So, do all of you understand?" "Yes, ma'am!" "Osu!" "I bet those brats didn't hear a single word I said." "Here we are, the 50th floor." "I wish you all the very best of luck." "I watched both of your matches." "You guys are amazing!" "Yeah, look who's talking." "You're strong too." "Yeah, we're all at the same level!" "No, I've still got a long way to go." "By the way, which school of martial arts do you follow?" "Usu!" "I practice Shingen-ryu Martial Arts!" "What do we do?" "Nothing really." "Huh?" "!" "You mean you got this good without anyone teaching you?" "!" "Usu, I am a little shocked." "I have more to learn than I thought." "I don't know what to tell ya." "Good work, Zushi." "Master!" "You obviously remembered what I told you." "Osu!" "Thank you!" "Master... your shirt." "How embarrassing." "We haven't met." "Oh, this is Killua and Gon." "It's a pleasure." "My name is Wing." "Osu!" "I see." "I didn't think there would be other kids competing here besides Zushi." "You must be quite accomplished if you've managed to get to this far." "You should always remember to take care of yourself and your opponent's body." "Osu!" "Zushi, here is the prize money from your match." "Okay!" "Thank you very much." "You two should go to the exchange counter over there to cash in your tickets as well." "Osu!" "Let's go, Killua." "Osu..." "This "osu" thing is contagious." "Zushi, you can go with them if you want." "I'll be in the audience watching." "Osu!" "Hey, Gon and Killua!" "Please wait up!" "Let's see... 152 jenny." "Enough only to buy a can of soda." "The prize money hasn't changed either." "Really?" "Yup!" "That's what you get on the first floor whether you win or lose." "After that, you get nothing if you lose." "If you win, on the 50th floor, you'll get around 50,000 jenny." "50,000?" "!" "That's a lot of money, isn't it?" "!" "After the 100th floor, it's one million jenny." "And beyond the 150th, it's over ten million." "What?" "!" "Killua, didn't you say you reached the 200th floor last time?" "You got that far?" "Well, to be honest, I actually quit after the 190th floor." "I guess I won... 200 million." "200 million?" "!" "What did you do with all that money?" "That was almost four years ago." "You didn't think I have anything left, did you?" "I spent all of it on snacks." "He spent 200 million on snacks in four years?" "What kinda snacks were they, anyway?" "Hey, you little kids." "Whatcha doing talking like you're a bunch of big shots?" "Yeah, 200 million?" "!" "You kids are so conceited!" "It's the Yamori Brothers!" "It's Amori, not Yamori!" "Long time no see." "What a coincidence, huh?" "What're we gonna do now, bro?" "It was your idea to come over here and teach these conceited kids a lesson." "You should put your money where your mouth is." "Hey, come on!" "Conceited kid?" "Are you talking about me?" "So you gonna teach me a lesson?" "I can hardly wait." "Forget it." "Imori!" "I'll let you handle this." "You teach him whatever you want!" "Hey, what're you doing?" "!" "Wait for me, bro!" "Oh man, this place sure isn't what it used to be." "Not if losers like that can get to this level." "Getting off the 50th floor shouldn't be too tough." "Let's take it easy." "How can Killua be so loud about this." "Your attention please." "Maita and Chibaba, make your way to Ring B on the 55th floor." "The match between Killua and Zushi will take place in Ring A on the 57th floor..." "Osu!" "It's an honor to fight you!" "Yeah." "Well, you were just unlucky." "You'd do better next time." "Well, we'll be off." "Yeah!" "Best of luck to the both of you." "I'll wait for you in the lobby on the 60th floor." "You don't hafta say it right in front of him..." "Attention, will the Amori Brothers and Gon please report to Ring C on the 58th floor." "Let's have a nice match." "Killua doesn't even consider me a threat." "Okay, everyone, thanks for waiting!" "We have an unusual match for you!" "Believe it or not!" "It's a match between two of our youngest contestants." "I'd like to direct your attention to the screen." "Even though our contestants are still boys, don't take them lightly." "They've proven themselves on earlier floors with amazing fights, and have already advanced to the 50th floor." "Killua sure doesn't waste any time." "With a single, lightning-fast shot, his opponent collapses to the mat." "Zushi, on the other hand, lets loose with a flurry of martial arts attacks." "He has defeated an opponent more than ten times his size without getting a single scratch." "A strange fate has brought these karate kids against each other!" "Now everyone, are you ready to cash your bet?" "!" "Here we go!" "Time is..." "Up!" "It looks as though the odds favor Zushi to win." "I wonder if his formal training has something to do with that." "That's bad." "Killua is getting upset!" "Let's start then." "Three rounds, each lasting three minutes." "Winner to be determined by points or TKO." "Begin!" "Not bad." "He has a decent fighting stance without many openings..." "Must've taken him awhile to develop it, but he's still no match for me." "Killua wastes no time closing in on Zushi!" "Sorry." "But I've decided I will rely on this one move until I get up to the 150th floor." "Point!" "There it is!" "Killua's lightning-fast chop!" "He gets one point for the hit and one for the knock down for a total of two points!" "As you may all know, our point-and-down system consists of hits, critical hits, and downs." "One point is awarded for every direct hit." "Two points are awarded as a critical hit for very impressive attacks." "Two points are also award each time a contestant knocks his opponent off the mat." "Once he earns ten points, he'll win by a TKO!" "Well that's dumb." "I just won by a KO, didn't I?" "Can you continue?" "Yeah..." "I'm okay..." "Zushi's back on his feet!" "It's not over yet!" "Guess I must've held back a little too much." "Fight!" "Zushi's down!" "He's good." "I guess he won't fall for the same attack twice." "If he gets back on his feet before the referee checks, he won't lose a down point!" "What kind of body does he have, anyway?" "Even though that last shot just grazed him, it should've been enough to keep him down." "He's incredible!" "His speed and power are on a whole different level." "This won't be a contest as it is!" "Fight!" "I have no choice..." "I gotta use it!" "What's this now?" "!" "Killua has suddenly backed off!" "Zushi!" "Because of the, uh, overwhelming crowd noise, we'll be taking a short time out." "Well, let's pull ourselves together..." "We'll continue the match!" "Look!" "I won 60,000 jenny!" "It seemed to take you longer to finish than you thought." "Yeah." "I had a little hard time of it." "So Zushi was that strong?" "No." "He is talented for sure... and he'll be good some day." "But to me, his technique is still full of holes." "His punches are too slow." "But it was still pretty hard to take him down." "Not only that..." "There was a moment when Zushi changed his stance..." "I got this bad feeling, just like when my brother confronted me." "I don't quite know what it is, but it felt dangerous." "It's gotta be some kind of technique." "I overheard his master say something about Ren." "Ren?" "I'm terribly sorry, master!" "I thought I was very clear." "You're not to use Ren yet." "But he was so strong and I wasn't thinking..." "A strong desire to win is a good thing." "But you must always keep in mind that you have a goal that is higher than this." "You're trying to reach the top floor!" "And those who are blinded by their desire for a quick win will diminish their talents." "Osu!" "While you're here you must be prepared to lose a thousand times." "Osu!" "So it's Ren... and reaching the top floor." "Gon!" "I think we need to have a change of plans!" "I'm going for one thing... the top floor!" "Right." "We made it to the 150th floor!" "I've never had this much money before!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" ""Nen" x Nen x Nen?"

"Yeah, we are aiming to go all the way to the top!" "All those who reach the 100th floor are entitled to their own room!" "Not only that, the prize money goes up by a lot!" "Yeah, we know." "Our own room, huh?" "I guess that means no more pillow fights, huh?" "However... you must not let your guard down." "Naturally, the level of your opponents will be higher as you go up!" "As I was saying earlier, the amenities get alot better once you've reached the 100th floor." "This drives all those who make it there to do everything they can to stay!" "Some competitors will bend the rules with all kinds of nasty tricks that you wouldn't believe!" "The longer they've been up at this level, the tougher they get." "You can't even compare them to those guys on the 50th floor." "Killua, is this true?" "Well, yeah." "Good, that's what I was hoping for!" "I was starting to worry that we'd come all the way here for nothing." "I came to train after all." "What's with these two brats?" "!" "Don't they know Heavens Arena is the proving ground for the world's best fighters?" "Who do they think they are, anyway?" "!" "Let's take it easy." "Last time I was here, I had no trouble winning at this level." "The last time?" "Yeah, when I was six." "When you were six?" "!" "Let's go!" "Yeah..." "I look forward to serving you again." "So this is our room?" "We're up so high!" "Look at the view!" "Yeah." "What that woman said was true." "Getting up to the 100th from the 90th level and then remaining there is a whole different game." "There is a wall you have to get over." "Guys who've stayed on this level for a long time are all desperate to keep their amenities." "I know I said to take it easy, but we need to be careful." "We can't be wasting time stumbling on pathetic guys like them." "I guess you must be pretty proud of yourself, huh, kid?" "!" "But!" "It's ten years too early to be on the 100th floor!" "Since I've been here I've sent a hundred opponents to their graves." "So I hope you already made funeral arrangements..." "The winner is..." "Gon!" "Guess I was worried for nothing." "Contestant Killua, please report to the ring for your next match." "On my way." "It took only three days for newcomers Gon and Killua to reach the 150th floor!" "They're both undefeated after seven matches!" "What's even more remarkable is that, so far, none of their opponents have managed to score a single point against either of them!" "How long will this good luck last?" "It's not about luck, we're just better than them!" "But I'm a little vexed, you know?" "The first time I was here, it took me almost two months to get up to the 150th floor, yet..." "Are you listening to me, Gon?" "!" "Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions..." "What?" "!" "Killua!" "I've never seen a number this big in my account!" "I mean, a few days ago I was pretty much broke." "Let me borrow it for a little while." "How come?" "Didn't you have the same amount deposited into your account?" "Yeah, but I spent it!" "You spent it?" "!" "On what?" "Oh." "I was wondering about those since I came in." "And what are they?" "Chocolate Robots." "It was on sale, so I thought I'd stock up." "{\fad(0,700)}Four years: two million jenny spent on chocolate..." "So it was true..." "He bought up all of the candy!" "I think you've bought enough chocolate for now!" "So give me my money back!" "I said I'll give it back later." "No way!" "Come on!" "Don't waste your money, Killua." "Don't call Chocolate Robots a waste of money!" "How's that?" "!" "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" "I give up!" "How do you expect to make it to the 200th floor in the shape you're in?" "Hisoka's even stronger than me, you know?" "Yeah, I know that." "But I'm not sure what kinda training I need." "Killua..." "How good is Zushi?" "That guy is still trying to get off the 50-somethingth floor." "I told you before, but that is his level at the moment." "Yeah, but wasn't it hard to take him down?" "During our match..." "He kept getting back up no matter how many times I hit him." "So I got little ticked off." "Finally, I hit him with some serious force." "Damn you!" "Oh man." "Now I've done it." "Critical hit!" "Ten points total!" "Killua wins by a TKO!" "That was beyond the level of what one could manage with willpower." "Maybe it has something to do with Ren, y'know, that thing Wing mentioned." "Yeah..." "Ren, huh?" "Do you think it's some name for a technique?" "I don't know." "But as we move up to the higher floors, we'll probably face more people like that." "Maybe we'll find out if we fight them." "Then wouldn't it be faster if we just go find Zushi and ask him?" "Oh yeah!" "Ren is one of the four exercises." "And the four exercises are fundamental to all martial arts, to instill discipline and develop character." "Learn Ten, know Zetsu, and through Ren attain Hatsu!" "That's how you train for Nen!" "Now you know!" "Nen?" "What's Nen?" "That doesn't make any sense!" "It doesn't?" "Then I'll try explaining it again." "Listen carefully." "Ren is one of the four exercises." "And the four exercises..." "Zushi!" "When in the world did you master things enough to teach them to others?" "I'm so sorry, Master." "Gon, Killua..." "There's an old cautionary proverb warning that a smattering of knowledge may leave you wallowing in greater ignorance." "Similar to a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, right?" "But I wanna know about this Nen stuff right now." "Even if you don't tell us, I'll find out without fail." "But I don't wanna get stuck wallowing around in ignorance." "So if you agree to teach me," "I won't be forced to go and learn what it is by myself." "And I wanna know too." "Killua and I both came here to train." "Osu!" "I understand." "Please follow me." "Nen (flame) is the power that inflames our spirits, in other words, the strength of our will." "The training to attain Nen is comprised of four processes." "We call them the "Four Exercises."" "And they are Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and finally Hatsu." "Now for the specifics..." "First for Ten, which focuses the mind, concentrate on your inner-self and define your goal." "Following that, in Zetsu, you put that goal into words." "Ren intensifies and heightens your will." "And Hatsu puts it into action." "Zushi's Ren, or his will to win, was what intimidated you, Killua." "Actions speak louder than wrods." "Allow me to demonstrate it for you." "Killua, will you please stand up?" "My mind will be filled with thoughts of killing you... is that okay?" "Sure, fine..." "You won't be able to anyway." "I'll do it in the proper order." "First, Ten." "Now, Zetsu." "You can say it out loud or to yourself, it doesn't matter." "I am going to kill you." "So, that was Ren." "With enough strength and focus, your will (Ren) becomes action (Hatsu)." "This is how you can intimidate others." "You can make your opponent retreat without moving if you have a strong will." "However, Ren can often lead to obstinacy and one might lose the flexibility to correct their wrong ideas." "Therefore one should refrain from its use before one's spirit has been perfected." "You two and Zushi should be training your spirits and nurturing them for a while." "If you want to learn Nen, you must dedicate yourselves to mastering Ten for now." "Once you've managed to do that, you won't be overwhelmed by the wills of others." "Thank you very much!" "Osu!" "Zushi, it's okay now." "Osu." "Now Zushi, let's start today's exercise." "Osu!" "As always, start with Ten." "Master Wing is really amazing." "Zushi's so lucky to have such a master." "But what he told us earlier, that was a lie." "A lie?" "What he said sounded right." "And the demonstration of his power was very real." "But it still doesn't explain Zushi's toughness." "There's gotta be more to it." "Did you see the look on Zushi's face when Wing was teaching us?" "He's in on it." "Now that you mention it..." "But why would he tell us such a lie?" "Because this Nen thing must be something very dangerous..." "Before we leave Heavens Arena, we're gonna have to figure out what Nen really is!" "What's wrong, Zushi?" "Your Ten is agitated." "Master, why did you lie to Gon and Killua?" "Lie?" "Do you mean the explanation I gave to them?" "That's right." "The actual characters are..." "Ten!" "Zetsu!" "Ren!" "And Hatsu!" "And they have completely different meanings." "Did you lie to them because they aren't your students?" "I wasn't lying." ""Nen," the flame, is a genuine discipline needed to train your inner-self to use the real Nen (mind force)." "True, I would never teach Nen to someone who wasn't one of my students." "That's why I teach "Nen" through lies." "The real Nen can be a dangerous weapon if put into the wrong hands." "For example..." "You can transform a piece of paper into a deadly blade." "Or you can protect yourself by making your body as hard as steel." "Anyone who disciplines themselves can master it." "That's more the reason why one must chose who to teach it to." "Master..." "That's my book and I haven't read it yet." "And that was my can of juice too!" "Oh!" "I'm sorry." "This is unbelievable!" "Gon and Killua have both cleared the 190th floor within a week and without getting a scratch!" "It does bug me a little after all." "It took me two years to get to the 200th floor." "On the other hand, you..." "Come on, Killua, you were only six years old at the time, right?" "!" "I know, but still..." "It's here." "Anyone going up?" "Yo!" "Hello." "Killua and Gon have made it to the 200th floor already?" "Yeah!" "I told you they're incredible!" "Master?" "I have no choice." "I wonder what the 200th floor's like!" "I don't know." "When I got this far last time I didn't bother to register," "I just left and went back home." "Excuses me, Miss..." "What is it like up..." "I don't know." "Miss?" "I said I don't know." "So you don't know?" "How useless." "Killua." "This place is really going downhill." "They don't even bother training their employees anymore!" "Hey, Killua!" "If they can't, they could have at least made a better choice on the looks..." "Come on, Killua!" "You god damn brats!" "I shouldn't have underestimated Heavens Arena." "No." "Do you feel that, Gon?" "Yeah." "This feeling is..." "It was worth coming to the 200th floor." "Someone down this hallway is using Nen." "What now?" "We have no choice but to go." "If Wing is not teaching us real Nen, we'll just have to figure it out for ourselves." "Come on, let's do this!" "No..." "I can't move..." "I don't wanna go any further." "Hey!" "We know you're there, why don't you come out and face us?" "!" "You must be Master Gon and Master Killua." "The reception desk is right over there." "You have until the end of the day to register for your matches." "Please be aware that once it's past midnight, you'll no longer be allowed to register." "Oh, one more thing, from this floor up, weapons are allowed in the matches." "So if you have any... feel free to use them." "This energy..." "Is it coming from her?" "I can't tell." "You should also know that at this level, prize money is no longer awarded if you win." "Here you fight only for honor." "I hope I've made myself sufficiently clear." "Hisoka!" "What are you doing here?" "!" ""What am I doing here?" Such an expected reaction." "Here's my answer..." "I came here because the cards told me to." "They told me that our fates were intertwined." "Just kidding." "Of course it wasn't fate." "I planned the whole thing." "You used the internet to purchase your airship tickets, didn't you?" "It's easy to search that thing and find out who is going to be when and where." "After that, I boarded my private airship and arrived here and waited for you." "It wasn't hard to tell you'd be coming here." "So you're stalking us?" "!" "Don't be silly." "I'm a regular tenant here on the 200th floor, and have been for a long time now." "So, as someone who knows his way around here, let me give you a little piece of advice." "It's too early for you to step on this floor... turn back!" "As for when you'd be ready depends on you." "Come back another time..." "It's just too soon for you now." "No way, we've come this far and we're not leaving!" "Can you get past me?" "Stop trying to force yourselves." "You are totally unguarded against his Nen." "It's like you've wandered into the snowstorm naked and don't understand why it's so cold." "You might die if you keep forcing your body and spirit." "Is this what Nen is?" "!" "{\fad(0,150)}He can stop us by just thinking about it?" "!" "I've decided to teach you true Nen." "So let us retreat from here for now." "But if we don't register by midnight... what would happen to us?" "Master Gon, you may start again from the first floor." "However..." ""However"?" "Since Master Killua did not register previously, if he fails to do so a second time, he will be considered as someone who lacks the necessary commitment..." "And he'll be banned from competing here." "No way!" "If we leave here with you for now, can we come back here within the day, by midnight?" "That will depend on you." "This is Nen." "What was that bull about burning your spirit?" "What kind of master are you, anyway, lying to innocent kids?" "Killua, you seem to be quite passionate about learning Nen." "Any particular reason?" "Because it explains the secret of my brother's power." "Your brother uses Nen?" "Yeah, I'm sure he does." "Okay, I'll teach you assuming you understand the dark side to Nen as well." "Nen is the ability to control, at will, the life energy, or what some people call aura, which flows through your body." "All living things emanate a limited amount of this aura." "However, most of it is just leaking out of you." "Ten is a technique that will help you retain that energy within your body." "By strengthening it, you gain vitality." "Zetsu is a technique for shutting off your aura." "It's best for concealing your presence and recovering from extreme exhaustion." "And Ren is a technique for generating your aura beyond ordinary amount." "Can you feel that?" "Yeah, it's like pressure..." "But's it's not scary or anything." "That's because I hold no threat." "Their sensitivity is astounding." "They might not know the method, but their instincts can sense it well." "Aura is life energy produced by our bodies, which is why it's most effective when used against other human beings." "It can be used for good or for evil." "If you attack a defenseless person menacingly, you could kill them with your aura alone." "There's only one way to protect yourself against an attack from a Nen-user... and that is to become a Nen-user yourself." "An eye for an eye, and Nen for Nen." "Defend with Ten." "Use your aura to block the aura of your enemy." "Because if you don't..." "Your body will shatter into pieces." "Into pieces..." "Do you understand?" "Yeah, I understand three things." "Really... what three things?" "One, how powerful true Nen is." "Two, we won't be able to win without it from here on out." "And three, you are a tricky bastard!" "Right." "Not yet." "It's still too soon." "We only have three hours to register." "I sure hope we can master Nen and get through the 200th floor!"

"This is Nen." "It's a power that exists within everyone." "There are only two ways to awaken it: slowly... or by force." "By the way, Zushi took the slow path." "He is a quick learner who is very dedicated to his training, so he was able to master Ten in a relatively short period of time." "It took him six months." "That won't do!" "We won't make the registration cutoff time!" "We want to master Ten by midnight in order to get past Hisoka!" "Then we'll have to awaken it by force." "And then we can make it in time?" "That depends on whether you can master Ten or not." "I'm going to attempt to transmit my aura into you." "This is known as Hatsu." "It's similar to what I used earlier." "I'm going to hold back, of course." "But that doesn't mean it's not going to be rough." "By sending my aura through your bodies, I'll force open your nodes." "Our nodes?" "Are those like pressure points?" "Yes." "They're the network that aura passes through." "There are many of them throughout your body." "Right now they're closed, which prevents the free flow of aura." "But by sending my Hatsu through you, those nodes will be forced open, and then your aura will be awakened." "Under normal circumstances, you'd learn to open your nodes through meditiation or zen over an extended period of time." "Even Zushi, who is very talented spent three months opening his." "You two might've managed it in a week." "Maybe even less." "It's really too bad we're in such a rush and forced to take these drastic measures." "I don't get it!" "Doing it faster is better even with force!" "Since this risky method is a secret trick, if I was inexperienced, or harbored any malice, you could both be killed." "But you're not inexperienced or evil... right?" "I wanna know..." "Why did you change your mind and decide to teach us all of the sudden?" "Everyone on that floor is a Nen-user." "And they initiate anyone who isn't." "They'll attack you with Nen full of malice." "They don't care if you live or die." "Those few who do survive are considered The Chosen Ones, and live up there." "But... that privilege comes at a price." "So that's why I want you to learn it before you go." "Now, you've been warned and the long introduction is over." "I'm sure this method will awaken it within you." "I believe that you're both talented and capable enough to endure it." "I was very impressed by your Ren." "Now, please remove your jackets and turn your backs toward me." "It feels hot." "He's not touching me, but it feels like something's pushing against me." "What is this..." "It feels like my bodies being surrounded by this thick, invisible skin." "It's almost like the feeling I got from Illumi when he used his Nen on me, only that was a billion times worse!" "Here it comes." "All the nodes in your bodies have been opened." "You can see your auras, can't you?" "It looks like steam coming out of a kettle!" "It's gushing out of my entire body!" "Is it supposed to be doing that?" "!" "At this rate, your life's energy will soon be depleted... and when it's gone you'll be too exhausted to even stand." "I knew it!" "Listen to me." "Just imagine you're containing your aura." "Now close your eyes." "Stand however is easiest for you." "Feel the aura as the very blood coursing through your veins." "From the top of your head down to your right shoulder and hand, down your leg, then back up your left side..." "Now try slowing it down." "Visualize the energy engulfing your body." "These boys are incredible." "They instinctively assumed the most natural positions for achieving Ten, and have mastered the flow with only minimal instruction." "Now, slowly open your eyes." "Tell me how you feel." "Like I'm soaked in lukewarm viscous fluid." "It's like I'm wearing clothes that don't weigh anything." "Try to hold on to those first impressions." "Once you internalize them, you'll be able to use Ten in your sleep." "Now then..." "This time, I'm going to attack you with a malicious aura." "Before, my very stance would've been enough to have driven you from this room." "Yeah, now I understand why you compared it to being naked in a snowstorm." "If you can withstand this, you'll be ready to get past Hisoka." "Here it comes." "Welcome to the 200th floor." "Looks like you won't need to be initiated." "I can guess why you decided to come here." "You're here to train yourself to fight me, aren't you?" "I didn't know you were gonna show up here." "Guess that saves me time." "Don't get too cocky just because you've learned Ten." "Nen has many facets." "Quite frankly, I don't plan on fighting you anytime soon." "But if you can win one match on this floor..." "I'll reconsider." "Let's go." "Yeah." "I never thought Nen could be learned so quickly." "No." "Those two are just very talented." "It's extraordinary..." "I have a bad feeling about this." "Rookies, huh?" "And it seems they already know about it." "Welcome to the 200th floor." "Please sign these registration forms." "Sure." "Would you like to sign up for a match right now?" "At this level, you have up to 90 days to prepare for your match." "You can pick a date to fight during that time period." "Of course, you can fight every day if you want, or you can wait until the very last minute." "It's entirely up to you." "After each match, you're allowed to have another 90 days to prepare before you have to fight in the next one." "However, please be aware that if you fail to participate in a match within the allotted time limit, you'll be disqualified and your registration will be revoked." "You said there's a first match..." "That means we fight more than once at this level?" "In order to move up from this level, you'll need to win ten fights." "But if you lose four matches, you'll be disqualified." "And after you've won your ten matches, you'll be qualified to challenge a Floor Master!" "What's a Floor Master?" "That's what our 21 highest ranked fighters are called." "Each of them gets an entire floor to themselves between the 230th and 250th floors." "See what I'm getting at?" "When you challenge a Floor Master and win, that floor becomes your floor, and you become the new Floor Master!" "Is that it?" "No, of course that's not it." "As a Floor Master, you're eligible to advance to the very highest floor to participate in the Battle Olympia, the Biennial Festival of Combat!" "Isn't that amazing?" "No reaction?" "!" "We don't care about that." "Don't we get anything else once we make it to the top floor?" "You don't care?" "!" "The champion of the Battle Olympia also gets to live on the top floor!" "They say it's the highest penthouse in the world, and it's a prestigious thing to reside up there." "A thousand meters up in the sky." "Isn't that amazing?" "Your house is higher than that, isn't it?" "Yeah, my place is 3700 meters up in the mountains." "What now?" "If that's all there is to it, then I don't even care if we make it to the top anymore." "Same here." "I'll be satisfied if I can fight Hisoka here." "Come on!" "You'll get lots of treasures, too!" "No more treasures for us." "Yeah, we don't need them." "Then why did you bother coming here in the first place?" "Well, you need to win at least one match up here." "But you're not gonna get into a fight right away, are you?" "Remember what that guy with the glasses said?" "Yeah, but I'm going to." "I wanna find out the difference between the fighters on this floor and everyone else." "And I think that the best way to do that is to have a match." "Then please fill out this form." "What do you want?" "Nothing, we're just standing in line to register for a fight, that's all." "Gon, I think these guys are hoping to get into a match against you." "I'm ready for a match anytime." "Did you hear that?" "You're just raring to go, aren't you?" "Here, these are your room keys." "I guess those guys back there are from the 200th floor." "Yeah, they probably hang around hoping to get into an easy match against a rookie." "Whoa!" "What a nice room!" "This floor sure is something!" "Hey, Gon." "Match date confirmed:" "March 11th at 3:00 PM at the 225th Floor Arena..." "No way!" "That's tomorrow!" "I probably won't win this one, but that's okay." "I wanna find out what I'm capable of with this power." "We've got a great card for you today!" "First, we have Gon, who shot up to the 200th floor like a rocket!" "He's up against Gido, who has a pretty good record of four wins and only one loss." "Gon, Killua, listen carefully." "Even though you can protect yourself with the power of Ten, you'll still feel pain and can still be injured." "If your opponent is an experienced Nen-user, they will have no problem breaking through your Ten to land what could be a critical hit." "So I don't want either of you to accept any matches for two months, and I'll teach you as much as possible during that time." "Sorry, Master Wing, but I just can't wait..." "I've gotta fight!" "Hey, Gon, kick his butt!" "Begin!" "You got lucky, kid." "I'm not as strong as some of the guys up here, so you probably won't die today." "There they are!" "Gido's Dancing Tops!" "With his unique fighting style, he launches ten spinning tops at his opponent!" "Let's do this!" "This is an attack I call the Battle Waltz!" "A clean hit!" "He's not that strong?" "Yeah right!" "Getting hit by that little spinning top felt like getting hit by a hammer." "These tops will spin for hours because they're powered by Nen." "And they'll attack you from everywhere!" "Even I can't predict what they're going to do." "I need to figure out their movements!" "There, I did it!" "A clean hit!" "Gido's spinning tops have scored another direct hit from behind!" "Those tops are coming from all directions and for the first time since he got here, Gon seems to be in real trouble!" "Gon!" "A clean hit and knockdown!" "Two points!" "Gido has already scored four points!" "Gon is in a tough spot!" "Can you continue?" "Of course I can!" "There's too many of those things, I can't keep an eye on all of them." "What am I gonna do?" "!" "Those dancing tops are amazing!" "Master, is he doing that with the power of Nen?" "Yes, it's a form of Hatsu." "He's transmitting his aura into those objects." "By using the power of Nen, you can boost the power of an object, maximizing its intended function." "So you mean it becomes a power source like a battery or gas for a car?" "!" "Keeping those small tops spinning for hours like that is pretty easy for someone who knows how to use Nen even a little bit." "But I believe that Gido has infused those tops with extra Nen." "Extra Nen?" "!" "Well, if the only Nen he used were just to get those tops to spin, they probably wouldn't have enough power to launch all of these attacks." "And the only reason he's able to make them do that is because he has a strong personal connection to them." "When an object functions in tandem with a person, it will respond much better and with greater force." "It's no use trying to follow all of them with my eyes." "I have to feel their presence." "The tops have been charged with Nen..." "Feel their presence..." "Know their movements..." "I feel them!" "Oh, no!" "My Ten is fading!" "A direct hit!" "He escapes off the ring, or rather, is forced out!" "He's helpless!" "Gido is way ahead." "It's six points to nothing!" "Gon's back is against the wall!" "It's no use!" "If I focus on sensing them, I end up neglecting my Ten." "That top must've bounced out of the ring... but it's not coming after me." "Will you continue the match?" "Or..." "Quiet for a second." "I'm trying to think." "What?" "!" "I'm gonna count to ten, and if you're not back in the ring, it's over." "One!" "This is weird." "I'm not feeling anything negative from the Nen power in this top." "Two!" "What about the others?" "!" "They're just spinning around at random." "Three!" "Once in a while they crash into each other." "Maybe they're not even targeting me at all." "Four!" "Excuse me, but why are you staying outside the ring?" "Because if I was in the ring, I'd get attacked by those things." "Five!" "I was right!" "This is just like Sumo Tops!" "Master, what's the extra Nen?" "Those spinning tops aren't like machines or living creatures." "Giving complex commands to simple objects is impossible." "The command he probably gave them was..." "Smash into any obstacle." "Of course, the tops can't identify obstacles." "They simply spin around the ring and deflect off of anything they bump into." "If they're not aiming for me..." "Eight!" "...then I don't have to be scared of them anymore!" "Nine!" "I just have to attack Gido instead of the tops!" "Nice try, kid!" "There it is!" "Gido's killer offense-defense technique... the Tornado Top!" "Gon gets hit by a vicious counter attack!" "That's three points!" "The referee has awarded Gido three points for that critical hit and knockdown, putting him nine points ahead!" "Gon is down to his last chance!" "I can defend myself by spinning like a top, and leave the offensive attacks to my dancing tops." "It's a conservative tactic, but I can steadily score some points." "Gon, don't even bother attacking!" "Just let him spin and he'll be too dizzy to fight!" "That's an amateur way of thinking, kid." "That's easy to overcome through training." "Think about it." "World class figure skaters can..." "Who the hell are you?" "!" "What should I do?" "What can I do?" "Master!" "There are several ways to tackle this problem." "At least in theory." "But Gon hasn't learned Ren yet." "You need endless training and combat experience in order to learn how to quickly generate aura and to channel it effectively into offensive force." "It's five years too early for him to fight Gido." "He must be painfully aware of that now." "What should I do to keep on fighting?" "If he scores one more point against me, this match is over!" "But I want to keep fighting!" "The only thing I can do right now is..." "Gon!" "He released his Ten?" "!" "That's insane!" "And he didn't just release it..." "Master, is it..." "Yes, Zetsu." "Zetsu, but... that's so dangerous!" "He's trying to hide his presence!" "All his Nodes are closed and his aura is completely contained." "But there's no point in hiding himself there in the ring!" "Worst of all, now he has absolutely no defense against Gido's Nen!" "Master, why did you teach him Zetsu?" "!" "I haven't taught him Zetsu." "Maybe he learned it from someone else..." "No..." "He must've picked it up by naturally honing his instincts, just like an animal learns to hunt its prey." "If that's the kind of life he's had, it's no wonder he's so talented." "But, why do this now?" "You idiot!" "Remember what Wing taught us?" "!" "If you get attacked by a Nen-user without using it to defend yourself, you're as good as dead!" "Yeah, I remember." "But to feel the movement of the tops," "I have to focus all of my senses on them." "I can't afford to be distracted by maintaining my Ten right now." "I can't believe it!" "He never intended to win this match in the first place!" "He's risking his life just to further his training!" "You've got a death wish, kid?" "Well, allow me to make your wish come true!" "For the first time since the match began, Gon has managed to dodge one of Gido's tops!" "Will this be the prelude to a comeback?" "!" "I can feel them." "I know where they're going." "This is the only thing I can do right now..." "This way, I can still fight." "Since I broke my promise with Wing, I'm not allowed to train anymore!" "This is no good!"

"I'm really, really sorry." "Forget it." "That's not good enough." "Hey, Killua..." "Do you know how long it'll take Gon to make a full recovery?" "The doctor said it'll take about two months." "I see." "I forbid you to participate in any matches for two months." "You're not allowed to train for Nen, or research it in any way." "And if you fail to keep these conditions, then I have to nothing teach you." "Understand?" "I do." "You have my word, I promise." "Your left hand please." "This is your pledge." "Whenever you see it, remember the promise you made." "Okay." "Can I speak to you, Killua?" "Well?" "What are your real goals here?" "Well, it's hard to say..." "Before we met you and Zushi," "I was just here to make some extra money." "Gon was here to train himself, so he can fight Hisoka." "And that's about it." "Hisoka?" "He was the stalker who was waiting for us on the 200th floor." "It seems like most of these guys up here on the 200th floor are trying to make it all the way to the top." "But that doesn't really interest me." "I'm not so sure about Gon, though." "He says all he cares about is settling his score with Hisoka." "But seeing him in the ring yesterday..." "He seemed like he was enjoying the thrill." "This is incredible!" "How long can he keep this up?" "!" "There must be almost 50 tops spinning around inside that ring!" "And Gon is dodging every single one in this complex storm of tops!" "He's dodging them!" "And again!" "And again!" "It's probably been over an hour already!" "Gido has run out of tops, and like us, all he can do now is watch." "We'll be here however long this match will take!" "Just do what you gotta do!" "That guy..." "This is it..." "It doesn't get any better than this!" "Gido can't seem to get the last point he needs to win, even with all those tops!" "No!" "Not that way!" "This is it!" "Gon has nowhere left to go!" "He was enjoying it even though he could've been killed?" "Yeah." "I can relate, since I can be like that sometimes." "Though, I'd pick and choose my opponent and the time and place for the fight." "He easily gets caught up in the moment." "I guess he's kinda reckless that way." "Oh, but don't worry." "He's not the kinda guy who breaks a promise twice!" "What have I done?" "It's too late." "Because we already know." "You don't have to regret what you've done or feel responsible for us learning about Nen." "If you'd quit on us now, we'd just find someone else." "Or we'd study it on our own, somehow." "Hisoka and my brother both are Nen-users." "We would've found out sooner or later." "That may be true... but still..." "Good morning, gentlemen." "Hey, good morning." "All right, then." "I'm not about to quit halfway through." "To be honest, there are many more things I want to teach you." "Why don't you continue your training with Zushi and me?" "No thanks." "I don't wanna leave Gon behind." "When his two months are up, we'll pick up where we left off together." "Killua..." "You can tell Gon that he has my permission to work on "Nen of the flame."" "He can also practice focusing his Ten." "Of course, you can too!" "Hey, Gon!" "Glasses Guy said..." "And what's that supposed to mean?" "!" "Like I said, you're not qualified to sign a contract with us." "You must be pretty smart since you managed to find this office all by yourself." "But I still can't recommend you to my clientèle." "Look, I know that I don't have any actual work experience, but..." "No, it's not that." "It's not your inexperience." "Some clients don't mind hiring beginners." "But..." "You're not even a beginner yet." "What do you mean?" "!" "I already have my Hunter License!" "It's real." "Of course it is." "But your Exam is not over yet." "I can tell just by looking at you." "What do you mean?" "Tell me what you see." "What I... see?" "Yeah, next to me." "Don't see anything, do you?" "Come back when you can see what I'm talking about." "That's our minimum hiring standard here." "What was that all about?" "I couldn't see anything." "But I did sense that something was there." "What could it have been?" "!" "Master..." "I think..." "I think I may have awoken a terrible monster." "I'm coming in." "Hey, Killua!" "I was just gonna come and see you." "What the..." "You're all better now?" "Yep!" "All better!" "I'm completely healed!" "He got over a four month injury in just one month!" "You!" "You're weird!" "Absolutely weird!" "You really are from the wild!" "What are you made of?" "!" "Oh, maybe it's because I've been eating these!" "Dried sardines?" "Yep." "That's too simple..." "So what did you come here for anyway?" "Oh, yeah." "Check 'em out." "Tickets?" "Yeah, but not just any tickets." "These are tickets for Hisoka's next match." "Hisoka's matches are really popular;" "lots of people were lining up for it." "The only reason I even got my hands on them was because I'm on the 200th floor." "But still, I had to pay them." "They're so cheap!" "I also asked around about Hisoka a little bit." "He's built up quite a reputation here." "He's fought eleven matches, with eight wins, three losses, and six KOs." "And the number of KO's equals the number of corpses." "The three losses are all by default." "I guess he registers for the matches at the deadline, but then he doesn't show up for them." "Man, that guy is so full of himself." "Anyway, what this all means is, he's never actually lost a fight." "Right." "And not only that..." "There's more?" "In all of his eleven matches, he only lost a grand total of four points." "That's one knockdown and three clean hits." "The guys I was talking to say Hisoka is as good as any Floor Master." "That sucks." "Yeah right." "His expression says otherwise." "Well, this time, he's up against a guy named Kastro." "Three of the four points that Hisoka's given up were to this guy." "It's gonna be a showdown." "This match will give you an opportunity to analyze Hisoka's technique." "He might actually fight for real this time." "But... you think it's okay?" "I made a promise to Master Wing." "What?" "!" "Of course, it's okay!" "All we're gonna do is sit and watch the match!" "Forget it!" "Watching a match counts as studying Nen." "Killua may go..." "But Gon, I want you to focus on getting better for another month." "I understand." "Well, that's all I had to say." "Is he stalking us?" "Killua..." "Oh well." "Is anyone going up?" "We can just tape the match, and I'll go by myself." "Is anyone going up?" "Yeah..." "These tickets cost me 150,000 Jenny each!" "I could've bought a thousand chocolate robots with that!" "Is anyone going up?" "!" "Man, what the hell!" "Just get in already, kid!" "This elevator is going up." "Okay, I'll see ya later." "See ya." "They're following my instructions." "They've been focusing on improving their spiritual selves." "The aura leaking out of them shows this clearly." "It suggests a great, but tranquil river." "I better take it easy." "I'm the one losing my composure here." "Welcome to the Battle Hour!" "We've got an exciting match for you today!" "And that match is between Kastro and Hisoka!" "Hello!" "I'm reporting live from the stadium." "Just look at this crowd." "It's a full house, and the match is still an hour away!" "With eight wins and three loses, with all the losses being by default..." "The grim reaper who's prone to taking days off, Hisoka the Magician!" "Meanwhile, his opponent has nine wins and one loss!" "He's won nine in a row since his loss to Hisoka, and is one away from challenging a Floor Master..." "Kastro the Warrior!" "He's already stated that he wants to avenge his earlier loss." "Is today the day?" "What?" "!" "There's no more Chocolate Robots?" "!" "Yeah, I'm sorry about that, sir." "Man, how does that happen?" "Well..." "Two days ago, someone came in here and bought up our entire stock." "Two days ago?" "It was me." "We should be getting more in about two weeks." "In that case, I'll have some energy juice." "Thank you!" "Let's look at Kastro's interview footage." "Well, I'm not letting the pressure of winning my tenth match get to me." "I just want to bring my best into the ring." "And here I thought he'd be a gorilla." "Do you think you have a chance of defeating Hisoka?" "!" "If I didn't think I could win, I wouldn't fight." "I'll prove that I'm not the same opponent Hisoka faced two years ago." "Right." "Well, good luck!" "A big talker, huh?" "Let's see if his confidence is well deserved!" "Thanks." "That wraps up our interview with Kastro." "This should work..." "Energy juice?" "Weird..." "There he is." "May I help you?" "What?" "He's gone!" "But I saw him sitting in that chair." "How'd he get behind me?" "!" "Did he slip past me in the doorway without me noticing?" "That's impossible." "I was watching him through the door right until the second he spoke to me." "There's no way I would've missed him." "Then how?" "Yeah!" "Actually, I came here to get your autograph." "I'd be honored to do that for you, Killua." "I know all my rivals on the 200th floor." "Isn't Gon with you today?" "I guess you know everything." "Spying on the enemy today?" "Not really." "I just wanted to see you up close." "I see." "So, what do you think of me?" "Pretty impressive." "Thank you." "Your technique of hiding your presence from me was pretty impressive too." "But if you want it to be effective you have to start before you arrive on this floor." "Anyone would be wary when the aura of someone of your caliber suddenly vanishes." "You were keeping track of me as soon as I got off the elevator?" "Sure was." "Excuse me." "Oh, sure." "Tell me something..." "How'd you do that?" "I'm afraid I can't tell you." "I might fight you, too, one day." "Don't worry." "I don't plan to fight here anymore." "Oh really?" "It seems that your aura is telling a very different story." "I'm just joking." "I'll show you how I did it in the match." "Oh, you want that autograph?" "Never mind." "I didn't even bring any paper." "See ya!" "Killua..." "I'll be waiting at the Battle Olympia." "I'm sure you can make it." "I told you, I'm not gonna fight anymore." "This is it, the moment you've all been waiting for!" "Hisoka versus Kastro... it's gonna be the battle of the century!" "From the moment they entered the ring, they've been staring each other down." "And the match hasn't even started yet!" "Who's going to emerge victorious in this brutal grudge match?" "!" "Will it be Hisoka?" "Or will it be Kastro?" "!" "It's anybody's guess!" "I'm grateful, Hisoka." "Without your initiation, I never would've gotten this strong." "Who got strong?" "I'll say this." "In the nine matches I've had since then..." "I never once fought my hardest." "They were all warm ups to defeat you!" "You really shouldn't have gone to all that trouble." "But I wonder if you even have what it takes to make this fight worth my while." "Well, do you?" "!" "Of course!" "This is Hisoka versus Kastro." "Begin!" "Here I come!" "Clean hit!" "His right hand?" "That was just like when he got behind me!" "How does he do it?" "!" "Kastro opens the match with an impressive attack!" "Hisoka failed to avoid the lighting fast strike and gives up the first point!" "Get serious, Hisoka." "I'm not who I was two years ago." "I won't go as easy next time!" "What's the big hurry?" "Whether or not it's time to get serious isn't for you to decide." "It's entirely up to me." "Hisoka's said he's gonna fight me." "I just started training again, but I'm..."

"I was afraid I'd forgotten how to do it." "It's kind of like riding a bicycle." "Once you've learned how to do it, you'll never forget."

"I have a question, Master." "You saw the match between Hisoka and Kastro, right?" "Yes." "Hisoka's magic is actually Nen, isn't it?" "But I couldn't see his aura." "Why is that?" "Hisoka uses a technique which makes his aura almost invisible." "It's a highly advanced form of Zetsu called "In."" "And the only way to recognize it is to master an advanced form of Ren known as Gyo." "So Gon, how many days do you have left to prepare for your next match?" "Let's see, two months have passed, so I have almost a month left." "And you, Killua?" "I've got exactly 27 days to go." "That should be enough time." "It never pays to rush your training." "Take your time and work on mastering Ren." "That's the fastest way." "Osu!" "It's so powerful and just as big as ours..." "I can tell his aura's bursting with power!" "Now focus all of that aura into your eyes!" "Osu!" "Now, can you see my aura?" "Yes!" "What color?" "It's yellow." "Yes, that's correct." "You've improved amazingly, Zushi." "Osu." "For now, you won't be able to use Gyo unless you summon all the power you've got." "But if you continue to practice, you'll all be able to fight while using Gyo." "Gyo is a common technique used when going up against an unknown opponent." "If you don't know your opponent's power, you can't expect to ever win." "Starting tomorrow, you two will begin practicing Gyo too." "Osu!" "I'm sleepy." "What's the matter?" "I'm not sleepy yet, so I'm gonna go for a walk and come back." "All right, see ya later." "Yeah." "Good night." "A walk?" "Right..." "Imagine storing energy in my body." "Gather energy from every cell in my body little by little and make it bigger..." "And release all the stored power at once!" "And focus all the aura into my eyes!" "Yes..." "Hello?" "Gon, it's me." "Hisoka." "That was was you last night, right?" "Seems you've mastered Ren already." "Originally, my condition was at least one victory on the 200th floor..." "But I'll give you a pass because of that and the results of your last match." "Just name the time and place." "I'll take you on anytime." "I'll wait for you to contact me." "See ya..." "They are on a whole nother level!" "Fine." "You've both passed." "Well, I certainly didn't expect this." "To think you'd both master Gyo overnight." "Now that you've both finished your assignment, you probably want to start training your Hatsu, is that correct?" "Yes." "All right then." "I've underestimated your ability to improve." "Let's start training for Hatsu immediately." "Hatsu is a technique which allows one to control aura at will." "In other words, it's the culmination of Nen abilities." "Emitter." "Enhancer." "Transmuter." "Manipulator." "Conjurer and Specialist." "Nen users are classified into six broad categories." "Nen abilities have a deep connection with the user's personality." "Depending on born characteristics of one's aura, it will fall into one of these categories." "This chart illustrates the compatibility of each of the six characteristics." "The closer two categories are to each other, the easier it is to learn and master both." "But the further away two are, the harder it is." "Therefore, it's important to understand which characteristic your aura belongs to from the start." "Question!" "Is there a way to find that out?" "There is." "Water Divination is a Shingen Ryu screening tool." "It also happens to be used in training Hatsu." "Cup your hands around the glass and perform Ren." "Your characteristic is revealed by what happens." "The water..." "It's overflowing!" "Enhancers change the volume of the water." "So this shows that I have an Enhancer's aura." "Now why don't you three give it a try?" "All right, I'll go first." "Oh!" "Guess you're an Enhancer, too!" "The leaf's moving!" "That means you're a Manipulator." "Oh!" "All right, finally my turn!" "N-Nothing's happening." "Looks that way." "Could it be I have no ability?" "No, no..." "Why don't you taste the water?" "It's kinda sweet." "You're right." "Isn't this just plain water?" "Changing the taste of the water shows you're a Transmuter." "Well, now everyone knows exactly what type of aura they have." "For the next four weeks, devote yourself to this training." "Keep polishing it up until you can make more significant changes." "Osu!" "Gon?" "What is it?" "I don't think we have a lesson scheduled here for today." "I wanted to show you how far I've gotten in my training." "Okay." "No problem." "How was that?" "You learn very quickly." "You've already mastered Water Divination." "Well..." "Actually, I..." "I think I can guess why you're here." "Huh?" "It's about your opponent in the upcoming match, yes?" "You want to fight Hisoka." "Isn't that right?" "I hit the mark it seems." "Hisoka is strong." "As it stands right now, you have no chance of defeating him." "I know that, but..." "But you still want to fight him." "That's why you've been training your Nen, right?" "Yes." "I'm only your Master for Nen." "I have no intention of telling you how to live your life." "You are free to fight Hisoka." "However..." "I have only one condition:" "don't push yourself, no matter what." "Can you promise me that?" "Osu!" "Hello?" "I've been waiting." "Have you decided when you wanna fight me?" "Yeah." "Our fight's gonna be on June 10th." "Let's finish this in Heavens Arena." "Okay..." "I look forward to it." "It seems you slept well." "Last night, I was so excited that I was wide awake, but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell right to sleep." "You know, I'm pretty simple!" "That isn't something I would go around saying." "Well, I'll be watching from the audience, so before you get hurt badly... just lose already!" "That hurt!" "Hey, Killua?" "What is it?" "After we're finished with our training here..." "Never mind, I'll see you at the arena!" "Okay!" "Hisoka versus Gon!" "The match you've all been waiting for is about to begin." "The first to enter the arena is Gon!" "He approaches the ring with thunderous applause." "And now, entering the arena from the opposite side, Hisoka!" "So you're here huh?" "!" "So conceited!" "Get lost!" "Let me see blood!" "So far Gon has lost one match." "This is the second match." "Hisoka's record stands at nine wins and three losses." "If he wins today, he'll be a Floor Master." "However, if he loses he'll fall to the ground floor." "This just might be the most important match of his life." "He's won every fight he's bothered to show up for so far, but will he be able to continue his incredible winning streak?" "!" "Now, everyone, it's time to vote for your favorite!" "As expected, Hisoka is the favorite to win by a large margin!" "I've been told that this match was arranged by Gon and Hisoka themselves." "I wonder what kind of score they have to settle with each other." "You shouldn't stare at me like that." "When you look at me so passionately..." "You get me.. all worked up." "What an ominous aura." "It's rising up from his Dantian." "Winner by points or KO." "No time limit." "One round match!" "I have never forgotten!" "Quite a surprise." "Consider it my favor to you." "Right now, you are being kept alive by me." "I don't wanna owe you anything!" "I'm returning this now!" "When you're capable of striking me in the face like that, I'll be happy to take my badge back." "But until then, I'm just gonna have to let you hold onto it." "I've done everything I'm capable of doing." "So that I'll be able to move on after this," "I will return the favor right here, right now!" "Begin!" "Hit!" "One point to Hisoka!" "This is an amazing fight!" "I don't even have the time to commentate!" "What's wrong?" "I haven't even moved an inch from where I started, you know?" "You really haven't..." "I'll show you!" "He is calm and composed as always." "That Hisoka is just having fun with this." "But Gon's having fun too, though he's putting more effort into it." "I get it." "It'd be more effective mixing in feints instead of trying to hit him with every attack." "The difference in their abilities is obvious." "Yet instead of being scared, he thinks calmly and comes up with his next move, while enjoying the fight." "He really is an incredible kid." "Still, there's a world of difference between their skills in an actual fight." "Landing even a single punch would be impossible going straight on." "The only thing he can do is take advantage of Hisoka's arrogance." "Hisoka recognizes that he's in a different class." "That's why he won't dodge or move." "You have to take advantage of it, Gon!" "Yeah." "I'll go for it!" "H-He's ripped up a floor tile!" "Critical!" "Two points to Gon!" "Incredible!" "Gon has landed a critical hit!" "Gon now leads by one point!" "He did it!" "Master, he did it!" "Ouch..." "Finally..." "I hit Hisoka!" "All right!" "What's this?" "!" "Hisoka has finally moved for the first time in this match." "He has a little smile on his face!" "Does it mean the fight has just begun?" "!" "Whoa!" "What in the world does this mean?" "!" "Hisoka is strong and scary." "But I have to make the next move!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Hisoka's Love x Showdown x Gon's Resolve!" "Hisoka really is scary! {\an2\fad(500,0)}Executive Producer KOICHI MOTOHASHI" "Wanna Stay or Wanna Go?"

"He got a critical hit and turned it around!" "Yeah." "But a scheme like that will work only once." "He can't do the same thing again." "You're right." "This is where his real fight starts." "What was that just now?" "!" "I don't get it!" "Anyway, Gon scored a critical hit and the score is now two to one!" "Gon has taken the lead!" "However, it doesn't look like the attack caused much damage to Hisoka, so I'm a little confused about the scoring just now." "The judging is correct." "Yes?" "Each referee has their own personal scoring style." "Some place importance on the amount of damage dealt, while others like to reward strategy and technique." "Oh?" "Is that so?" "Using the stone floor tile effectively in the attack just now has been rewarded highly on strategy." "I get it now!" "And who are you?" "I won't say." "How much have you learn about Nen?" "All the basics." "Really." "You're an Enhancer, aren't you?" "Huh?" "How did you know that?" "!" "It won't do to expose yourself so easily." "You're so cute." "Shut up!" "How did you know?" "Like using blood types to tell a person's personality, it's baseless, but..." "I've devised a method of profiling people by their aura." "Profiling... by a person's aura?" "Master, is there such a thing?" "True, it's well known that a person's Nen ability is directly related to their personality." "Like I told you before, Nen users fall into one of these six groups:" "Enhancer, Transmuter, Conjurer, Emitter, Manipulator, or Specialist." "In Gon's case, he was born with strong, flexible muscles." "And he has keen senses developed by growing up in harmony with nature." "The reason he could hone these talents so well might have something to do with the character of an Enhancer." "In short, the characteristic of an Enhancer is..." "Simplemindedness." "That's true." "So true." "By the way, I'm a Transmuter." "We're whimsical liars." "That's true." "That's true." "That's true." "I wish he would tell us the characteristic of a Manipulator!" "We are pretty compatible, you know?" "Since our characters are polar opposites, we attract each other." "So we may be the best of friends." "But you should be very careful..." "Transmuters are whimsical liars, remember?" "For us, what was once valuable can instantly turn to trash." "So..." "Don't disappoint me, Gon." "Th-That kick had incredible power!" "So rough." "Hisoka kicked one of the stone floor tiles up into the crowd!" "Not bad." "Critical hit, two points to Hisoka!" "The score is three to two!" "So quick!" "Hisoka's getting serious!" "A string of consecutive attacks too fast to see have earned Hisoka a critical hit." "And Gon seems powerless to stop them." "Just like that, Hisoka's back in the lead!" "You're an Enhancer all right." "Your Ten is pretty powerful." "You're still standing,even after the beating you just got." "What's wrong?" "Why don't you come and attack me?" "Don't wanna!" "I'm trying to come up with a strategy!" "He's fast." "I can chase him with my eyes, but my body is not keeping up." "At this rate, I'm just gonna get beat up!" "He looks faster now than he did against Kastro." "Yes." "That must be his true speed." "And he still has got one more trick." "Right." "That power." "Gon, Killua, please listen carefully..." "This is a video tape of the fight between Hisoka and Kastro." "Every detail of their match has been captured on this." "Everything?" "So that means..." "The Nen-user who recorded this was a Manipulator." "Hisoka's aura was captured on here." "Hisoka's?" "Really?" "!" "And how did you manage to get your hands on it?" "Fighting before briefing yourself on the enemy can't be called courage." "Understanding your opponent's powers and devising a countermeasure makes for a good strategy." "Particularly when your opponent is at a Floor Master level." "This much foreknowledge is indispensable to having a good match." "Use Gyo to discover Hisoka's Nen ability." "Osu!" "How was it?" "I saw them!" "Thin, thread-like auras." "Fifteen of 'em!" "Yeah." "They came from his left hand and are connected to his arms, his cards, practically everything!" "That's exactly right." "What kind of trick is that?" "They looked like they were stretching back and forth." "Yeah." "I wonder if they work like a magnet, attracting each other, or if they're more like rubber bands or something?" "It seems he can transform his aura into sticky elastics that he can attach to anything he wants." "I get it!" "That's how he could attach his arms and land a punch right on the jaw." "But how come Kastro didn't realize that the aura was stuck to him?" "That has something to do with his fighting style." "Killua, what was Kastro's Nen ability?" "Oh, he creates a double." "That's right." "He creates an actual duplicate of himself with substance, not illusion." "That's how he got behind me when I went to his dressing room." "Having seen the power of his Tiger Bite Fist," "I'd say he's actually an Enhancer, but he's chosen the ability to create a double." "This requires a Conjuring ability, as well as a Manipulative ability to control the double." "It's extremely advanced and complicated." "Enhancer" "Manipulator" "Conjurer" "However, they are not compatible with an Enhancer." "As a result, Kastro wasted most of his natural ability." "On the other hand," "Hisoka used In to conceal his aura from Kastro." "Of course, a man of Kastro's experience should have been able to use Gyo to see through it, but Hisoka didn't let him." "He used his bizarre magic to distract Kastro." "On top of that, he emphasized that he was not serious yet by camouflaging his aura with In." "Kastro wasted his natural ability of Enhancement, while Hisoka used his to their full potential." "As a result, Kastro lost his life just as others before him had." "His behavior, combined with talent and his Nen ability that can be fully applicable even after being revealed, make up a truly devilish fighting style." "Okay then, shall we watch it again?" "Osu!" "Yes, please!" "In any case, I can't get tangled up in Hisoka's pace." "Before he uses his aura gum, I'll get a few more punches in!" "I gotta move in quick and get away..." "Have you decided what you're gonna do yet?" "I'm getting tired of waiting." "If you won't come to me..." "I guess I'll force you to come over?" "Gon, use Gyo!" "Too late for that." "Oh no!" "Now then... what do you think will happen next, Gon?" "With this, you can't escape anymore." "The two of them are just standing there staring each other down!" "Hisoka's decided to drop his In." "I suppose, once he's attached it, he no longer needs to hide it." "It means he has absolute confidence in his Nen ability." "What would you do if you were in this situation, Killua?" "First, I'd try my best to rip that thing off before he gets me." "Oh..." "Gon's dashing around!" "He's going for the attack first!" "Gon has decided to confuse his opponent!" "You can do it!" "Now, how's Hisoka going to respond?" "!" "Oh, Gon jumps high into the air!" "He's being pulled in!" "Not over yet." "A one-two punch by Hisoka, and Gon is down!" "Critical hit!" "Two points and a down to Hisoka!" "Six to two!" "Gon jumped to attack but was countered!" "Is Hisoka going to extend his legendary invincibility after all?" "!" "Gon..." "Stand up." "Gon seems to have suffered a great amount of damage!" "Does he still intend to continue?" "!" "Can you continue?" "Of course!" "Gon's determined to continue!" "All right!" "Way to go!" "Will he be the one to break Hisoka's winning streak?" "!" "The crowd appears to be hoping for the miracle!" "This sure takes me back." "In the Final Exam..." "Even then, you had everyone on your side... just as they are now." "You can see this, right?" "I call it my Bungee Gum." "It stretches and snaps back nicely." "I can attach it or detach it at will." "You see?" "You weren't pulled in this time." "It's all under my control." "You can't hope to escape from my Bungee Gum." "Hisoka seems to have stopped fighting, and it appears as though he's explaining something to Gon." "What is his thinking behind this?" "Actually, it has to do with a traumatic experience he had with chewing gum." "When Hisoka was a boy, his favorite brand of gum was called Bungee Gum." "Oh?" "!" "But how's that traumatic?" "Gum generally is tasty at first, but it loses its flavor as you chew it." "But Hisoka's family was poor and he couldn't buy a new pack of Bungee Gum every day with his measly allowance." "So, having no choice, Hisoka stuck the tasteless..." "Please standby." "I'd like to apologize." "There were inappropriate remarks in the earlier broadcast." "Now, let's get back to the action!" "I have a quiz for you." "If you answer correctly, I'll give you a free punch." "For free?" "At what point did I attach my Bungee Gum to your cheek?" "One, during the elbow strike?" "Two, during the clean hit?" "Or three, during the critical hit?" "Which one was it?" "When..." "When was it?" "!" "It's three!" "When you hit me with both hands!" "Wrong." "The answer's four." "I threw it and attached it to you while analyzing your personality." "That's dirty!" "I told you, Transmuters are whimsical liars." "I should've used Gyo from the beginning." "Now, I suppose if you'd been using Gyo, you might've been able to see my aura coming and avoided it." "But what if it was with other attacks?" "Do you get it?" "Either way is fine with me." "I only hide my aura when my opponents are not cautious." "Normally, I attach it when I punch." "That way it doesn't matter if they can see my aura or not." "That's right..." "There's no point in using Gyo to see the hidden aura unless I can avoid Hisoka's attacks." "He can attach it even when you guard his attacks..." "That's so nasty." "By all indications, Gon is at a disadvantage." "However, how will he handle this situation?" "I must observe and assess that." "This is the moment of truth!" "Well, the time for talking is over." "It's about time to..." "If I can't get away..." "I'll come at him!" "Do it, Gon!" "I'm scared..." "But if I let the fear get me here..." "I won't be able to face any opponent ever again!" "He's going on a rush!" "Gon is after Hisoka with all he's got!" "Even Hisoka is unable to do anything!" "Oh..." "Gon..." "Gon..." "Great." "You are really something." "Those eyes..." "That expression..." "That spirit..." "Oh..." "I wish I could demolish you right now." "But, no, no." "I have to wait..." "until the fruit is ripe." "Until it has grown high, so high... that I'd hesitate to bring it all down." "I must endure... endure... endure." "What happened?" "!" "Gon just stepped into Hisoka's punch!" "All right!" "I blocked that one!" "I'm getting used to being yanked around!" "This is just starting!" "Critical hit on both!" "Two points and a down to Hisoka!" "I got right back up!" "I even blocked it!" "That brings the score to nine to four." "Hisoka needs one point more to become a Floor Master!" "However, the referee seems rather biased against Gon." "Fight!" "I was about to turn this around..." "But I only have one point left." "You should pay more attention, Gon." "Take a look to your right." "Oh, sorry..." "I meant my right." "Down and hit!" "Two points to Hisoka!" "Eleven to four!" "Winner by TKO, Hisoka!" "This fight is over." "Hisoka has won his tenth match!" "With this win, Hisoka has earned the right to challenge a Floor Master!" "However, Gon put up an incredible fight!" "I hope he'll fight his best next time too!" "That's it folks, thanks for tuning in!" "I told you..." "Don't be careless." "While you were busy complaining with the referee," "I threw my left hand aura to the stone." "Within a moment, I activated my Bungee Gum to snap it back without missing a beat." "You've improved a lot, but you've still got a way to go." "We might get a good contest if we fight, oh, ten more times." "That is, if we were to do it here, but we won't fight here anymore." "Next time, we'll fight outside without rules." "With our lives on the line." "He's so far above me..." "But it's not totally unreachable." "I'll polish up my Nen... and find an ability that will rival Hisoka's." "Without fail." "Could it be..." "I've made you wait for me?" "There's a change in the message." "Instead of "everyone with nothing better to do,"" "all members have to be in Yorknew City by noon on August 30th." "Will the boss be there too?" "Most likely." "This operation will be the biggest we've ever had." "I should warn you..." "If you flake again, the boss himself might be the one to reprimand you." "Sounds scary." "Well, I've relayed the message." "The Phantom Troupe..." "I've found new toys to play with..." "Maybe it's time I start hunting." "Those three cowards again!" "And Killua is so cool when he's mad!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Talent x Agony x Killer's Instinct!" "He's a Zoldyck, all right. {\an2\fad(500,0)}Executive Producer KOICHI MOTOHASHI" "Wanna Stay or Wanna Go?"

"{\fad(0,700)}shizen na sono ikikata de iikarasa" "{\fad(0,700)}Keep on living just the way you are." "This match is over!" "Man, he looks like he wants to keep on fighting." "Just getting even with Hisoka is good enough, you know." "He doesn't know his own limit." "And we end up being the ones who worry about him." "Anyway, I think I'll try out my Nen in a match." "The decision was fair, and I stand behind it." "I felt it was in the best interest of both contestants to have a match that didn't run too long, even if that meant lowering the scoring criteria." "That guy's obviously a technical judge." "What do you mean?" "If they think the match is going to be extremely violent, they award points faster to get it over with." "Really?" "I'll have to remember that next time I place a bet." "Hisoka hurried off before we had a chance to interview him." "But it's a good thing we had a chance to hear what the referee had to say." "You see it?" "Yeah." "Now back to the studio." "That rookie seems to have gotten a lot better in a short period of time." "He gave Hisoka a pretty good fight." "You think so?" "From what I saw, he hasn't changed much." "It seemed to me that Hisoka wasn't all that into fighting a kid." "He hardly tapped into his full Nen ability." "You know how he is." "He was probably just trying to put on a good show for the audience." "That match shouldn't have lasted more than three seconds." "I have to agree with you." "Gido's actually fought against the kid, so he should know." "Sadaso..." "Don't tell me you're scared of a little boy." "I'm just being cautious." "That's how I've managed to survive this long." "It doesn't matter who my opponent is." "Being cautious is one thing, but you have to be careful not to miss out on an easy win." "Our goal is to become Floor Masters." "Then we can give lectures, become advisers, have our own martial arts school, and live in the lap of luxury." "We're almost there." "Before you know it, we'll all be Floor Masters." "To make it happen..." "We have to be patient and only fight matches we know we can win, using any means necessary." "Right?" ""Any means necessary," huh?" "Just playing it safe." "This is Killua's first match since arriving on the 200th floor." "I can hardly wait to watch him in action." "Will this match be as exciting as the last one?" "Here we go, folks!" "Ready?" "!" "Begin!" "That was close!" "Killua dodged Dorado's strike by a whisker, but his shirt got ripped!" "He's extending the reach of his spear by infusing it with Nen." "Yes." "Dorado possesses the Nen abilities of a Transmuter and a Conjurer." "It's gonna be hard for Killua to get close enough to hit him!" "That's true." "Killua is just standing still!" "He's in big trouble!" "What a move!" "A..." "A direct hit!" "It's okay..." "His Ten is still strong." "He was able to withstand it." "Dorado attacks!" "But Killua's not moving!" "He's in trouble!" "Dorado takes a swing and..." "Dorado has been KO'd!" "The winner is Killua!" "Unbelievable!" "Killua takes the match in a flash, even on the 200th floor!" "A stretcher..." "Yeah, we need a stretcher stat!" "Gon!" "Killua's amazing!" "He's strong!" "He's a genius!" "Both of you are so strong!" "I don't know about me, but Killua sure is." "He was strong to begin with, but now that he knows Nen, he probably is as strong as any Floor Master." "You're a genius, Killua!" "You were so great!" "No, I wasn't." "That finishing move was perfect!" "I did win, but the match itself was disappointing." "It was nothing compared to the fight between Gon and Hisoka." "True..." "Gon's match was significantly a good one." "Well..." "Fighting against Hisoka made me realize that his incredible Nen abilities are only a small part of what makes him such a threat." "A lot of it has to do with his unique fighting style and how he uses it." "Unless I can figure out how to use Nen my way," "I'm no use in real battles." "I don't have any idea what it might be, but still I went right ahead and challenged him to a fight, which wasn't very smart." "If Hisoka had fought as hard as he could then I would've been..." "The fact that you learned something means it was a worthwhile experience." "Sometimes you learn more by losing than you do by winning." "Now Gon, I want you to forget about fighting and concentrate on resting and recuperating for at least the next month." "Instead of gaining experience in the ring, you can think of how you will develop your Nen ability." "Mental conditioning is an integral part of your training." "Osu!" "Killua..." "Can I talk to you for a second?" "Maybe while watching the sun set?" "Uh, okay." "Killua, I wanted to talk about..." "About the Nen I used at the end, right?" "I didn't mean to use it." "I know." "The match today made me realize that I'm a lot different than Gon or Zushi." "It was also different from what you taught us." "Maybe I'm not good enough to study Shingen Ryu." "Shingen Ryu doesn't exclude people for who they are." "You're not required to conform to our style, and there are no rules for how you apply it." "You wanted to learn Nen." "You asked me to teach you, and I agreed to do so." "As long as you're still willing to learn, I'm willing to teach you." "Discover your own path, and live your life the way you want." "Trying to conform to others too much can limit your potential." "It goes for following your older brother's footsteps too." "Your life is what you make of it." "Master Wing..." "I still don't know which path to take, but what I do know is that I really like training with them." "So I think I'm gonna stick around for a little while longer." "Okay." "Zushi, you're aiming for the top floor, right?" "Osu!" "At the rate you're going, it'll take you forever to get there." "I don't care how long it takes." "I'll continue training hard with my master." "And hanging out with you guys has totally motivated me!" "All right!" "Let's go to my room and practice." "Osu!" "Killua..." "Zushi!" "Osu." "We've got company." "You never give up, do you?" "People won't like you if you don't change your ways, you know." "Aw, don't be like that." "Just tell us when you wanna fight." "We wanna fight you." "Who are they?" "They're all fighters from the 200th floor, just like me and Killua." "You had a match against the guy in the middle, huh?" "They're like hyenas." "They go after rookies to get easy wins." "That's why they want to fight us." "We really can't wait any longer, you know." "Our application deadline is coming up soon." "Come on, let's fight." "If you want, I'll show you my abilities right here." "My teacher told me I should rest for a while, so..." "Who cares?" "My application deadline is June 15th, why don't we fight then?" "Loser." "We don't care about your deadlines." "Let's go." "Hey, Little Gon!" "I am going to fight you." "Wait and see." "I think I'm getting used to it." "Yeah, our timing for switching from Ren to Ten and Zetsu could still use a little work, though." "A little?" "!" "They're such quick learners!" "It took me weeks to learn that timing!" "But compared to Zushi's aura, I think we're not powerful enough." "Well, then maybe we should practice focusing on that." "No, that's enough training for one day!" "You both just had matches!" "Resting properly is part of your training too!" "Yeah, but we're not tired yet." "No!" "I don't want them to show me up anymore." "Or else, I'll feel more miserable..." "Guess I'll see you in the morning." "Good night!" "Osu!" "Here we go." "My feet?" "!" "My body..." "I can't talk, can't even... breathe." "What's happening?" "Oops." "Just stop it." "You don't have to resort to such an old and dirty trick." "I'll fight you." "When was it again?" "Don't worry." "I'll let you win." "If you want, I could even lose once to each of you." "Are you happy now?" "Gon was told to take a break for the next month by our teacher." "So he can't fight without permission." "He already broke his promise once." "If he does it again, he may stop training under him, even if Wing lets him continue..." "And that's a problem." "So if you want a match with Gon, you'll just have to wait at least a month." "After that, I'm sure he'd have no problem fighting you." "Okay." "Then why don't we make it official by going to the registration desk right now?" "Once we've signed up, you can have your friend back, unharmed." "Yeah, fine by me." "But this is the first and last time we cut a deal." "June 15th, right?" "This okay with you?" "Yeah." "You can take him back now." "There." "Oh yeah, just remember." "No more deals." "If you break the promise..." "I'll uh... well, you'll see." "What?" "You're not gonna tell us?" "Hi, Gon?" "Take a look outside your door." "You'll see what's going on." "What'll happen if we break the promise?" "There's no point in telling you now." "Just don't do it, that's all." "Not a word of this to anyone." "Just do what I say, and by tomorrow, the three of you will be training together again." "Just listen to what I say." "Zushi." "I didn't know it was so hard to not kill people." "Being normal sure isn't easy." "Huh?" "Did he leave already?" "Who needs tickets?" "!" "We've got them right here!" "It's Gon versus Sadaso!" "You don't wanna miss this one!" "Hey, I'll take one!" "Yeah, me too!" "Hey, one for me too." "All right, thank you!" "What can you tell me about Sadaso?" "He's got this creepy face, it's like he's wearing a mask." "He's also known as the "Rookie Hunter."" "Damn that guy." "What's wrong?" "It's Killua." "He's a fighter from the 200th floor." "Right." "He's supposed to fight Sadaso before Gon, right?" "What's his problem?" "He doesn't even know his next opponent?" "He's just a kid." "There's no way he's gonna win." "Oh yeah?" "Well, I bet 50,000 he wins his next match." "Osu!" "Hey, I heard that you helped Zushi out last night." "It was nothing." "How are you doing?" "I'm feeling just fine, thanks!" "I guess I was even more tired than I thought." "You were the one who found him, right, Killua?" "Yeah." "Just after you guys left my room yesterday, I got a weird phone call." "Someone told me that my friend was asleep in the arena, so I went out to see if it was true." "That's when I found you and brought you back here." "Thanks for being concerned about me." "I'm all better now." "Osu!" "Thank you both for looking after Zushi." "Thanks to you guys, he's doing fine." "I'm very grateful." "Well, we invited him to train with us, so he was sort of our responsibility." "What're you all worried about?" "Why does everyone treat me like a little kid?" "!" "Sorry, sorry." "Anyway, Master Wing..." "Your next match, right?" "Gon was asking me for permission to do the same." "What date's yours?" "June 15th." "My birthday." "Fine by me." "But I want you to rest up and heal as much as possible until then so you'll be in peak physical condition for the match." "Killua." "Those guys blackmailed you too, huh?" "That makes me so mad." "Yeah." "What would we have done if Master Wing hadn't given us permission to fight?" "That was never gonna happen, because he knows all about it." "Huh?" "He does?" "!" "Yeah." "Really..." "Well, I don't wanna lose on purpose..." "But I guess I can do it." "No way." "But what if they go after Zushi again?" "Don't worry..." "Don't worry about a thing." "All right then..." "It's time to get to it." "The match we're featuring today is between Killua and Sadaso." "Killua won his first fight on the 200th floor just five days ago." "Meanwhile, Sadaso has put together a record of five wins." "Star Rookie Killua versus Rookie Hunter Sadaso, a match you can't afford to miss, is about to begin!" "With Killua and Gon lined up," "I'll have my sixth and seventh victories in the bag." "After this, all I have to do is beat three more chump rookies." "As soon as I become a Floor Master, I'll be set for the rest of my life." "Don't move." "If you do, I'll kill you." "Use Nen, and I'll kill you." "Make a sound, and I'll kill you." "If you understand, close your eyes." "Let me demonstrate what'll happen if you break the promise." "Okay, slowly open your eyes." "Look at me in the mirror." "Listen carefully." "You will never show your ugly face around here again." "That's a promise." "The match was supposed to have started already, but Killua's opponent hasn't shown up." "Yeah..." "Uh, I've just received a note here..." "Apparently, Sadaso isn't in his dressing room." "Also, it appears as though his private residence has been cleared out, and his luggage and personal belongings are all gone." "So I guess that means..." "Time violation!" "According to regulations, Sadaso has forfeited the match." "The winner is Killua!" "Forfeit?" "!" "What an astonishing turn of events!" "Killua gets his second victory without having to fight!" "A forfeit?" "Yeah, but it's still a victory!" "It's a different strategy:" "winning without fighting!" "Way to go Killua!" "Killua took off his cap and tossed it high into the air to celebrate his win!" "Sadaso!" "What's going on?" "!" "His eyes belong to those who live in the underground world." "When he looked at me, he made me realize how weak I was and that I was his prey." "I don't have a death wish, so I'm getting out of here." "We've only known each other for a short time, but you always looked out for me, so I want to give you a piece of advice..." "Be careful." "He's coming for you next." "See ya." "Now what?" "We do what we have to." "We beat the kid and it doesn't matter how." "We knew there were gonna be risks, but that's never stopped us..." "We're so close." "Just a little bit more..." "Then we'll be Floor Masters and have everything." "But it takes a lot to scare Sadaso like that." "Yeah, but he threatened Sadaso." "Not me." "I bet he's afraid of my unknown abilities." "Wrong." "It doesn't really matter what kind of abilities you have." "I just thought I could warn you wherever and whenever." "It could happen anytime, anywhere." "While you're asleep, or when you're eating, or even while you're sitting on the toilet." "So just remember..." "Stick to the rules." "If it becomes "anything goes," we'll be the ones to benefit." "You shouldn't do bad things to people." "We'll fight him fair and square." "Killua!" "Way to go!" "Let's go celebrate my second win!" "Your treat!" "Okay!" "Let's go for ramen rice then!" "Are you kidding me?" "!" "Our training is going great!" "I think we're getting stronger everyday!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Small Fry x Clean Up x Exam Over?" "!"

"I don't have a death wish, so I'm getting out of here." "Be careful." "He's coming for you next." "See ya." "We do what we have to." "We beat the kid and it doesn't matter how."

"Now it's your turn, Killua." "Okay!" "That's it." "It's sweet!" "It's really sweet!" "Yeah, it almost tastes like honey!" "That was perfect, Killua!" "All that training paid off!" "Gon and Killua, it looks like you two are in good physical condition." "Osu!" "Gon, you've faced your opponent once before, so I'm not going to give you any advice." "Have you thought of what strategy you will use?" "Yes." "Actually, I'm thinking of using that." "A fishing rod?" "After your matches are over, I'd like to discuss them with you, so please meet me back here, okay?" "All right then, best of luck." "Osu!" "In our next featured match, there's a score to be settled!" "It's between Gon, who recently gave the dreaded Hisoka a run for his money, and Gido, who sent Gon to the hospital after winning their first showdown!" "It's time for a grudge match!" "We're all anxious to see how Gon is going to fight this one." "He actually brought a fishing rod with him!" "I don't know how effective it's gonna be against the Battle Waltz, but Gon gave us quite a show as he dodged Gido's flying tops last time." "Maybe he's got something special planned for us again today!" "Wouldn't it be better to watch this in the arena?" "Watching it on TV is fine." "Get ready, the match is about to start!" "Winner by points or KO, no time limit, one round match." "Begin!" "Wow, Gon takes off in a mad dash!" "But it looks like Gido's ready for him." "He counters with his Tornado Top!" "If Gon charges in, it'll be the same as the last fight!" "Gon is stuck!" "He's ahead of me." "I know what you're thinking." "It's virtually impossible to stop me once I start spinning." "Naturally, everyone tries to attack me before I start spinning." "So shallow!" "What's wrong?" "You can't attack me, huh?" "If you're not gonna come, then I'll come for you!" "Shotgun Blues!" "He can fire off the tops while spinning?" "Unlike Battle Waltz, all the tops are aimed directly at you!" "You'll never dodge them all!" "REN" "What the..." "Wh-Whoa!" "He blocked all the tops head-on!" "After witnessing his match against Hisoka and what we've just seen," "I'd say Gon's come a long way!" "Wow!" "Gon is amazing!" "His Nen defenses have improved so much!" "My tops aren't strong enough to beat him?" "No, it can't be..." "It would've been possible for Gon to swat all the tops." "But by taking them all head-on, he gave a greater psychological blow to Gido." "That just proves how mad he is, I guess." "It's my turn now." "Looks like Gon's ready to attack, but how's he gonna do it?" "!" "Attacking me with his fishing rod..." "That can only mean one thing." "He's gonna try and stop me from spinning by hooking it onto me." "As if I'd let that happen." "There it goes!" "He cast the fishing line straight at Gido!" "Nice try!" "Oh, no!" "It bounced off!" "Too bad!" "You can't snag me with a little fishing lure when I'm spinning this fast and protected by my aura!" "This will do." "Whoa!" "That's right!" "Here he goes again flipping the stone floor tile." "No, wait!" "Wait!" "Please!" "Wait!" "If you're willing to do anything to win, then so am I." "And if you ever lay a finger on Zushi again," "I'll hit you in your face with my full power." "The winner of the match is Gon!" "He did it!" "He actually did it!" "Gon now has his first victory on the 200th floor!" "And what a victory it was!" "All right... it's my turn." "Okay, on to the next match..." "Killua versus Riehlvelt!" "We'll be broadcasting it live, and I'll be the one covering all the action again!" "It's set to start in ten minutes." "All right, we're just moments away..." "The atmosphere is charged with anticipation." "What kind of spectacle will we get to see?" "!" "Remember, you're the one who decided to break our deal." "So I don't have to let you win." "So he makes his living in the underworld." "I don't care if he is an assassin..." "The Heavens Arena is my stomping ground." "I'll show him who rules the ranks of this squared ring." "Ready?" "!" "Begin!" "He's gone!" "Behind me!" "Aura Boost!" "Whoa!" "Riehlvelt escaped Killua's attack by putting it into high gear!" "Sheesh!" "That was too close." "I didn't time my jump right." "Wasting all his aura just to whip around on a scooter..." "Huh." "I guess it's not a toilet on wheels after all." "Twin Snakes!" "Come on!" "What are those?" "There it is!" "Riehlvelt's Song of Defense!" "Two whips, moving at incredible speed, protect him from attacks while moving in to do some damage of their own!" "Ouch..." "Those look like they really hurt." "It's a serpent duet by his Twin Snakes!" "How's Killua gonna respond to this?" "Thought you could attack me?" "Well guess again!" "As long as I keep using this technique, there's absolutely no way that you can beat me!" "How come?" "Don't you understand?" "It's impossible for a normal human being to see the whips!" "And in this little ring, there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide." "This is it for you!" "Sorry, I'm not normal." "What?" "!" "Killua caught the whips with his bare hands." "Take this!" "There it is!" "His Thunder Snakes!" "And it's a direct hit on Killua!" "I'm impressed, Killua." "You're the first opponent who's ever caught onto my whips." "I've had people trying to catch them by risking getting hurt!" "So this is for those reckless guys!" "A little gift of one million volts of electric current!" "Even a giant would collapse from this!" "All the fools that try to counter my whips will fall prey to my Thunder Snakes!" "Electrocution won't work on me..." "I've gone through enough training to withstand torture." "But all that really means is that I've gotten use to it." "It doesn't change the fact that it hurts." "And that's why I'm kinda mad." "If you fall from that height, you're as good as dead." "What are you gonna do?" "P-Please!" "You've gotta catch me!" "Okay." "I'll catch you." "No problem." "A great catch by Killua!" "And the two Thunder Snakes bite back!" "Loser, now you know how much those things hurt." "Riehlvelt has lost consciousness!" "The winner by knock out is Killua!" "He did it!" "The mighty Killua has done it!" "He appears fine even after receiving a million volts of electricity!" "It really is a stunning victory!" "Killua's incredible!" "I'm so inspired!" "A million volts won't even stop him!" "Nice job, Killua!" "Thanks!" "Let's get something to eat before our next match." "Gido..." "You lost, too?" "Yeah..." "You're up next, Gon." "You're not gonna be able to beat Riehlvelt the same way I just did." "Because if you grab onto one of those electrified whips, even you'd be knocked out cold." "What are you gonna do?" "It's okay..." "I've got a plan." "So you were fighting in your head as you were watching." "To you, the battlefield is your classroom." "How are you gonna fight your opponent?" "How?" "You broke the thing he was spinning on." "He's not gonna be able to fight." "Your attention please." "The first match of this afternoon, Killua versus Gido, has been canceled." "Killua wins by forfeit." "See?" "{\fad(0,700)}Sorry." "Having lost his match against Killua this morning, before this critical match, Riehlvelt's record now stands at five wins and three losses." "He can't afford to lose this one." "He already has his whips drawn and ready." "Gon, on the other hand, hasn't brought any weapons." "Winner by points or KO, no time limit!" "Begin!" "Riehlvelt leads off with his signature Song of Defense!" "Looks like he wants to end this match as quickly as possible!" "What's this?" "!" "Gon's bending down!" "Oh wow!" "He ripped up the stone tile with his bare hands!" "Here!" "He's thrown it!" "Whips won't stop this one!" "Aura Boost!" "Gon knew exactly where he was going!" "So, is this the power switch?" "Let's see, turn the power up to the maximum of one million volts, and switch them..." "On!" "Just kidding." "Riehlvelt has fainted." "Winner by knock out, Gon!" "This is Riehlvelt's fourth loss, which means he's been relegated." "His fighting registration will be revoked immediately!" "Good-bye, Riehlvelt, and best of luck to Gon!" "Keep up the good work!" "You both did very well today." "You've demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the four basic elements of Nen, and I have nothing more to teach you." "Continue to refine the basics through hard work and creativity, and you will discover more about your Nen abilities." "Everyone's unique, so develop these abilities in ways that express your own individuality." "Know what you believe in." "Know what makes you mad." "Know what you love, what you want, where you'll go, and who you'll meet." "All these experiences will shape your future and will also direct you to the Nen type that's best suited to your personal nature." "Find out and make it a part of who you are." "If you can manage that, you'll be heading in the right direction." "Now, Gon..." "You've passed the secret Hunter Exam." "Congratulations." "Secret?" "The Hunter Exam that the general public knows about is just the beginning." "Learning to master Nen is considered the secret Exam." "And only those who have successfully passed both Exams can be called true Hunters." "Mastering Nen is a fundamental requirement as a Hunter, because a Professional Hunter needs to be strong." "The primary job of a Hunter is to capture the most dangerous criminals, poachers, and thieves in the world." "And in order to do that, you have to have exceptional powers." "However, if Nen is used for evil, it can become a destructive force." "Publicly making it a requirement of the Exam is too dangerous, so it's not in the main Exam." "Only those who passed that part of the Exam are permitted to take the secret test." "But there are those who become aware of the existence of Nen and manage to acquire it without ever taking the secret test." "Like Hisoka." "And my brother." "So, Master Wing, does this mean you were gonna teach us Nen right from the very beginning?" "And you acted like it was a big deal." "What a joke." "But how did you know we would be here in the first place?" "Are you a stalker?" "There is no predetermined path for the secret exam." "Anyone with a Hunter License will be exposed to the existence of Nen whether they're looking for it or not." "It just so happens that you two met me by coming here." "I see." "By the way, I've been teaching you in the ways of Shingen Ryu." "And the Grand Master of that school is Chairman Netero." "He told me about you two." "Killua, please retake the Hunter Exam." "I am certain that you can pass it." "You are more than eligible for a license right now." "I guarantee it." "If you become a Hunter, you will find there are many different roads available for you to take." "Yeah..." "Maybe someday." "Master Wing." "Do you know how the others are doing right now?" "Yes." "Hanzo and Kurapika have already learned Nen while studying under different masters." "Leorio is planning to start his training after he takes the entrance exam for medical school." "And Pokkle seems to be having a difficult time mastering Ren." "Everyone's been working hard." "Guess so." "Remember this, you two..." "There's still more for you to do." "You don't even know what you're made of yet." "Figure that out and try to expand your potential as much as you can." "That's why you train." "Train hard, but remember to play hard too." "Enjoy your lives to the fullest." "That's all I have to say." "So congratulations, the two of you have graduated as of today." "Over the past four months, you were able to uphold the teachings and were able to face your inner selves." "Nen training is, above all else, a struggle within ourselves." "All I've really done is guide you." "You're some of the best students I've ever had, and I never saw either of you brag about the natural talent you have." "It's been an honor teaching you." "Take care of yourselves." "Osu!" "{\fad(0,4000)}Osu!" "See ya around, Zushi!" "Zushi, I want you to continue the same training for another four weeks." "Osu!" "Don't be discouraged, Zushi." "Just believe in yourself." "You're learning at an astonishing speed, and your talent is that of one in a hundred thousand." "Osu." "It's just that the talent those two boys possess is more like one out of every ten million people." "Osu!" "It's not making me feel better..." "But I know that someday, I'm gonna catch up to them!" "That's the spirit." "Now you're sounding like my favorite student." "Osu!" "Well, we've learned the basics of Nen, you paid back Hisoka, and we've earned all the money we need." "There's no point in sticking around." "Guess not." "We've got about a month and a half before September 1st." "What do you wanna do until then?" "Killua..." "I thought... maybe..." "You wanna come home with me?" "Your home on Whale Island?" "Yeah." "It isn't as big as yours, and we're kinda poor, but..." "Sounds great!" "I wanna see your house." "I also wanna meet your Aunt Mito." "Let's do it!" "Really?" "!" "Yeah, why not?" "Well, now that we know where we're going, there's no point in waiting." "Let's go right away!" "I haven't been home in over half a year." "Hey, what're you doing?" "!" "I'll leave without you!" "Do you actually know where Whale Island is?" "No, of course not." "Thanks for everything." "Later!" "This elevator going down." "We're leaving today." "Thanks for all your help." "If we get short on money, we might be back." "So we might meet again." "Yeah, yeah." "Who knows, maybe by then you'll have become a Floor Master on the 200th floor!" "Killua." "Your name in the ring could be Gorilla Girl or Redhead Yeti." "Killua!" "Yeah, I guess she's way too old to be called a girl." "Did you forget what happened last time?" "Don't worry about it." "We've become Nen users since then." "And now that we have Ten, we don't have to be scared of her." "Besides, isn't it our responsibility to tame a wild and violent gorilla like her?" "Oh, sh..." "Sh-She's a Nen user!" "Take this!" "Elevator Girl's Atomic Bomb Attack!" "We've reached the first floor." "I think she's stronger than Hisoka." "How come I got hit?" "Good-bye, Heavens Arena." "I want a chain that will never let go of the Spiders." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Limitation x Vow x Chain of Punishment." "I'll put my life on the line. {\an2\fad(500,0)}Executive Producer KOICHI MOTOHASHI" "Wanna Stay or Wanna Go?"

"I hadn't yet discovered the unseen secret of this world..." "I hadn't yet discovered Nen." "Looks like you're a Conjurer." "Conjurers have the ability to materialize an object out of their aura." "A Conjurer?" "What's wrong?" "You seem disappointed." "I was hoping that I was an Enhancer." "Unfortunately, it's something you're born with." "You can't choose what you want to be." "You have to embrace your true nature and develop it through more training." "All right!" "Spend the next month working on your Hatsu." "Very good." "I'm impressed by what you've been able to accomplish in only one month." "With your talent, it's only a matter of time before you'll be able to reach your highest level as a Conjurer." "I don't think there's anything more that I can teach you." "Kurapika, you've passed the secret Hunter Exam." "The secret Hunter Exam?" "Yes." "To be a true Hunter, you have to master a Nen ability." "You've already graduated." "Now you can go anywhere..." "No, not yet." "Having the strength of a Hunter isn't what I want." "What I want is the strength to fight on my own!" "Strength?" "I want to become stronger!" "And I need to master Enhancer abilities to reach that goal!" "Impossible." "You can't master Enhancer abilities." "The maximum level of mastery you could hope for in other abilities looks like this." "You can't completely master other abilities, no matter how much you try." "The further it is from your own type, the less you acquire." "Why is Specialist at zero percent?" "Specialists are different from the others." "It isn't something you can learn, even if you try your hardest." "The trait is usually inherited." "Growing up under special circumstances can have an effect on it as well." "It's placed here because it's more likely for Conjurers and Manipulators to turn into Specialists later in life." "So you still have a chance, in a way." "You said earlier that you wanted the strength to fight all by yourself." "You're correct in thinking that mastering Enhancer abilities should be your highest priority." "They are the most efficient at reinforcing offense, defense, and healing." "But as a Conjurer, you'll only be able to master half the enhancement abilities at half their potency." "That's just how it is." "There are no exceptions." "The world of Enhancers uses the method of addition and subtraction." "For example, say you were in a battle with an Enhancer with 100 percent mastery." "If he were to punch you with 100 percent of his Nen this is what'll happen." "There." "Now, with your Nen abilities, you can only reinforce the body with 60 percent efficiency." "As a result..." "You'd get damage worth 40 percent even if you block the attack." "You won't have much of a chance." "Of course, this is overly simplified." "Nobody's exactly equal in strength." "How you feel that day will affect you, as well as where you're fighting and the circumstances." "Nen is even more complex." "Joy, rage, sadness, fear, hatred, pleasure, shame, determination..." "All the emotions you have factor into Nen." "It might enable something beyond 100 percent." "But that's not always a good thing, especially during a battle." "Using powers beyond your normal capacity will cause imbalance." "It may lead to a defect, a fatal one even." "You need consistent power." "That's how you will come out on top." "Can a Conjurer's consistent power defeat an Enhancer who has mastered the Enhancing ability to its maximum level?" "Question:" "Is it possible to conjure a sword that can cut through anything?" "No, it's not." "Why not?" "Because it's beyond human capacity to do so." "Even if you mastered your Conjuring ability, there are still things you cannot create." "You can easily conjure a sword with a durable, sharp blade." "But you might as well buy yourself one, and not waste your energy." "It's not practical to conjure an object that already exists." "But you can't conjure something overly supernatural either." "Trying to strike the right balance is what makes combat so difficult for Conjurers." "But on the other hand, it can produce an incredible amount of power if you know how." "So the correct answer is both yes, as well as no." "I suggest you give it some careful consideration, and decide what's best for you." "Kurapika..." "What object are you going to conjure?" "Excuse me." "Sorry to disturb you." "Thank you." "Don't mention it." "Where are you headed tonight?" "Do you mind if I don't answer that?" "Not at all." "But they say no journey is too far when you share it with a companion." "And here we are, sharing the same compartment." "Do you think it's fate that our paths have crossed?" "No." "I don't need companions right now." "What I need is a strong will and power to reach my goal." "Nothing else." "Chains?" "Yes..." "Chains." "It was the first thing that came to mind after I found out I was a Conjurer." "Chains, huh?" "I wonder why." "Maybe because there are many of them roaming free in this world that should be chained up in the depths of hell." "Really?" "It seems to me the one who's bound up in chains is you." "You don't know anything!" "Hey!" "Wait a minute!" "I'm the master here!" "Show a little respect!" "I'm still talking to you!" "Get back here, Kurapika!" "No one understands." "Not even a little." "That's why I have to..." "May I see your tickets, please?" "Of course, come in." "Thank you." "I thought I needed to present my License card as a form of identification." "Aren't you going to check?" "Uh, yes..." "May I?" "It's authentic." "Thank you very much." "Sorry to have bothered you." "Enjoy the rest of your trip." "You're seeking revenge, aren't you?" "You're thinking, how'd he know that." "I can tell." "I'm not your master for nothing, you know?" "It's not worth it." "Revenge won't get you anywhere." "You're like a butterfly that's only getting tangled up even more by struggling in the spider web of vengeance." "What a cold and sad tune." "It's the tune that your chains make, it conceals strong feelings..." "I apologize." "I hear things because it's part of my profession." "It's like fortune telling." "Please don't mind me." "The Conjuring ability is not like learning a magic trick." "It's about balancing and maintaining your aura in a single space through your thoughts." "It's a physical process." "You have to remember that all physical objects are comprised of energy on a subatomic level." "When a near infinite amount of it forms together, it stabilizes and becomes an object." "In order to make that happen with the power of your thoughts, you will have to possess incredible concentration and imagination." "Also, it is extremely difficult to conjure anything that is a type of complex material, such as steel." "But, I guess I don't have to tell you that." "Well, keep working at it." "I'll be around as long as it takes you." "As your master, it is my duty." "It's starting to rain." "Rainfall at night has a melancholy feeling." "I'm glad to see that you're back up on your feet." "You should work hard, but you should know your limitations too." "You can't get revenge if you're dead." "You wouldn't understand." "You want to become a Blacklist Hunter in order to avenge your people." "I got that info from the Hunter Association." "So, I suppose it's the mission of the sole survivor, huh?" "Well, even I know there are some things that can't be explained by rational thinking." "Nobody can create an unbreakable chain." "But there is a way that you can create one that's close to it as possible." "Really?" "What do I have to do?" "!" "Tell me, Master!" "He only calls me "master" when he needs my help." "Master!" "Yeah, all right." "Two limitations." "Make a contract with self imposed limitations and swear to abide the conditions." "The stricter the limitation, the more power your ability will gain from it." "This is one of the basic principles of Nen..." "The strength of your resolve will be increased by how difficult the limitations set against you are." "You understand what I mean by that, right?" "It's like getting a boost of adrenaline when you're trying to escape a fire, or when a mouse suddenly attacks after it's been cornered by a cat." "Make a condition for your chain." "Something that you can keep." "But I'm warning you." "This is the opposite of seeking balance." "It's like a double edged sword." "If you break your contract, you risk obliterating your Nen abilities entirely." "Some men have come looking for you." "They've probably been hired to steal your Hunter License card." "There are six of them." "Their heartbeats are calm and steady, which would mean that they're experienced at this." "So there are six of them..." "Thanks, I appreciate your help..." "I couldn't tell the exact number." "Don't worry, you'll be all right." "My goal is to capture the Spiders and reclaim the eyes of my people." "I want chains that will hold a Spider and never allow it to escape." "I only need to use it on the Spiders." "So, you won't use it on anyone but your target?" "That's a bit weak." "Don't get ahead of me." "That's only the beginning." "Then what else have you got?" "Only my own life!" "You were right." "They analyzed the situation quickly and moved methodically." "They were professionals." "Thanks to you, I was able to scare them off with minimal threat." "Thank you." "You're very welcome." "You passed, huh?" "That's really good." "To be able to master Nen in only half a year is no small feat." "You remember me?" "Of course I do." "I don't get many visitors." "I've only had one other person come by since you were here last." "Locating this agency is harder than you think." "So, what kind of employer are you looking for?" "I'd like to work for someone who's directly involved with the auction that will be taking place in Yorknew City." "It doesn't matter what the job entails." "A high profile client usually has extremely high standards." "I can't imagine they'd be looking for someone who has no experience." "There are three people who match your criteria and are willing to interview anyone without experience." "All three of them are looking to hire bodyguards." "So, who will it be?" "Here you are." "Thanks a lot." "Thanks to you, the trip turned out to be more eventful and fun than I expected." "I guess it's true: a journey is better when shared with others." "A journey shared with others." "Well, I should be going." "I have a feeling we'll meet again some day." "The song of the wind tells me so." "I have to keep on fighting." "I won't rely on anyone else to help me." "I can only rely on my strength." "So..." "Aunt Mito, I have so much to tell you!" "Oh, by the way, this is Killua!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "I'm Home x Welcome Back x I'm Killua!"

"Gon, this is the first time you've ever brought a friend home." "Killua, right?" "I'm Gon's aunt, Mito." "I hope you'll feel right at home here." "I really wish you would've let me know beforehand that you were coming home." "I could've prepared something." "Whatever you've got is fine." "Well you know, it's not every day we have guests in the house." "Really, it's fine." "Now that you mention it, we are kinda hungry." "We've been walking since last night." "That explains why you're so dirty." "Why don't you two go and take a bath while I make you something to eat." "What?" "Right now?" "Of course!" "Just leave me your clothes." "I'll wash 'em later." "You'd better get going!" "It's not even noon yet..." "And aren't we going into the forest later?" "Yeah." "Stop dawdling!" "You've got ten seconds." "Let's go, Killua!" "One!" "Two..." "Three..." "Is your Aunt Mito always like this?" "Yeah." "Pretty much." "Oh, wow!" "It's a cedar tub!" "Uh yeah, you like it?" "Totally!" "Ah!" "Just what I needed!" "You sound like an old man." "What?" "Really?" "Yeah, that's something Leorio would say." "Thank you!" "This tastes great!" "You think so?" "Aunt Mito's cooking is the best in the whole world." "Yeah?" "You boys eat as much as you like." "There's plenty more." "Here, Killua." "Ah, thank you!" "Oh no!" "Red peppers?" "!" "Okay..." "That's a no." "Killua?" "You shouldn't pick at your food like that." "Don't you know that red peppers are good for you?" "You should at least try them." "Actually, I'm not a big fan..." "Oh, good, at least you're not allergic to them." "Huh?" "They are delicious." "Go ahead and take a bite." "She's right." "Just give it a try!" "Mom, quick!" "Get a towel!" "Thanks for the food!" "Hey, Gon." "Huh?" "How did you do in the Exam?" "It was even harder than I expected!" "Just over 400 people made it to the Exam site to start out with." "But in the end only seven of us passed the Final." "I see." "I thought the whole thing was pretty boring." "Oh yeah, Aunt Mito..." "Take a look." "This is a Hunter License!" "Doesn't look like much." "There." "What are you doing?" "!" "I was only joking!" "As if I would ever do something like that." "Be careful, boys!" "She definitely wasn't joking." "I know." "That foxbear Konta lives around here, right?" "Yeah, but I don't think we'll get a chance to see him." "Female foxbears hate the smell of humans, so if Konta has any contact with me his mate wouldn't like it." "Besides, if the ruler of the forest was seen hanging around humans, he'd lose the respect of the other animals." "Konta and I used to swim here together all the time!" "Really?" "I think this is for you, Gon." "Hey, take it easy with that stuff!" "I'm sorry, sir." "Snakebeech Forest..." "I can hardly wait!" "This one?" "Yeah." "Once you've got that hooked up, we should be able to access the internet." "Right." "Gon!" "Yeah, what?" "I'm going out for a little while." "Could you watch the place?" "Yeah, okay." "I appreciate it!" "See you later!" "Well, this isn't so bad." "A grocery store and a bar." "That must be Gon's dad." "He wants to find his dad, huh?" "I don't remember falling asleep here..." "Oh, you're up now, huh?" "You fell asleep on the job." "Hold still." "Gon..." "What are you doing?" "My hair was getting kinda long." "There." "All done." "Now how about you?" "Want a haircut?" "Looks like you could use a trim." "Your hair is really nice and soft." "Really?" "I had no idea." "It sure is." "It's not like Gon's at all, which is thick and wiry and hard to cut." "This is... sorta nice." "We're off to the forest!" "Oh, you want me to pack you a lunch?" "No, it's all right." "We'll find something to eat." "Hey, Gon..." "Hmm?" "What do you plan on doing next?" "I was thinking of staying here until the end of August to gather some information." "And then in September, I'll go to Yorknew City and start looking for my dad." "Oh really?" "I wonder what I should do." "Why don't you stay here and go to Yorknew City with me?" "Yeah, but that's not what I was talking about." "It's great that you know what you wanna do." "There's nothing I really wanna do." "There are lots of things I don't wanna do, like living at home and taking over the family business." "But when it comes to what I wanna do..." "I kinda envy you." "Killua..." "I like hanging out with you." "Hey, cut it out!" "Whale Island is an outpost for fishermen far from their mainland homes, so there aren't many kids here." "And I've always been home schooled, so you're the first friend I've had who's around my age." "It's kinda the same for me." "I did get to leave my estate lots of times, but it was always because I was being sent off to get more training on how to become a better assassin." "It was always a life or death situation." "You're my first friend, ever." "Do you like hanging out with me, Killua?" "Yeah, sure." "I guess." "Then let's just stay together!" "We could go places and see things." "I'll search for my dad..." "And you can look for what you want to do!" "It'll be fun!" "That doesn't sound bad..." "Right?" "All right, I'll go with you while you search for your father until I figure out what I wanna do!" "Yeah!" "Hey, you never told me about your mother." "She died." "I was told she was always sickly." "Aunt Mito has raised me like her own, so I didn't really talk about my mom." "It's the same with my dad." "If I hadn't met Kite, I wouldn't have tried to find out about him." "I know Aunt Mito hid the truth about my dad because she wanted to avoid talking about him." "Yeah, but I think you would've become a Hunter anyway." "Huh?" "I mean, isn't that how it works?" "You get connected to a person by fate, and it's like there's this invisible bond." "Well, then maybe Aunt Mito and my mom are connected together like that." "Aunt Mito's the only mother I'll ever know." "Because whenever I try to think of my mom, I can't imagine anybody except her." "There is no one else." "I see." "I wish I had a mom like Aunt Mito." "Yeah, she's the greatest." "But she does nags a little too much." "You're right!" "Hey, Gon!" "What's going on?" "!" "It's poachers!" "Even though they're not allowed to hunt here!" "And I heard Konta!" "Not bad, not bad..." "A male foxbear and its cub." "They're worth a lot, dead or alive." "I guess I'll show some compassion." "You can die first." "Damnit, I can't get them undone!" "Gon, it's no use!" "He's not gonna make it!" "Yes, he will!" "I'm not gonna let him die!" "I'd never let Konta's son die!" "Never!" "No way, I'm not gonna let you do that!" "Get outta the way!" "It's too late!" "Listen to his breathing!" "He can't be saved!" "Just put him out of his misery!" "No!" "I'm not gonna let him die!" "He's not gonna survive!" "No!" "He will, okay?" "!" "Because I'm gonna help him!" "That's it!" "Outta my way!" "Killua!" "I know you can't do it." "So I'll do it for you!" "No!" "Let go of me!" "No!" "Stop it!" "Both of you!" "You shouldn't fight at a time like this!" "That cub is dying." "So I just wanna put an end to its suffering!" "It's not gonna survive, so it's stupid to try and save it." "Would you listen to yourself?" "How can it be stupid to try and save a life!" "She's right, Killua!" "Let go!" "There is no life this close to death." "If there's no hope, then there's no point in living." "So..." "Killua!" "He has a life..." "And you don't have the right to take it away." "This little cub hasn't given up hope." "He's fighting to stay alive." "You can see that, can't you?" "For some people, the will to live isn't always enough." "Don't be so eager to end it." "Hasn't anyone ever taught you how precious life is?" "The only thing I've been taught is how to kill." "Wait..." "We do know a way, Killua." "Our Nen..." "We can use our Nen to save the cub!" "Just like when Master Wing transmitted his aura into us." "Remember?" "He taught us that every living thing has its own aura." "Killua!" "You're right." "If we can enhance the aura of that cub, then maybe..." "It's worth a try!" "Right!" "Watch this, Aunt Mito." "Watch what we've learned during the Hunter Exam." "Let's not give him one big blow; divide it into smaller bits." "Okay." "He'll be okay." "Yeah." "That was a very kind thing you did, Killua." "Um..." "You know..." "I'm sorry." "Oh, you mean this?" "Don't worry, it's only a scratch." "Yeah, but still..." "Aunt Mito, Killua!" "Let's go home." "All right then." "Let's go home and have breakfast." "Thank you." "Aunt Mito told me about my dad, Ging." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Dad x Top Secret x Confession!"

"When I call you, you should..." "What's with all this stuff?" "What are you doing?" "Doing research." "He's trying to find out about his dad." "It's his homework while we're here." "I'm assisting, for free." "This is my first job as a Hunter." "Hey, would it be okay if we connect to the internet?" "Are you listening, Aunt Mito?" "No, I wasn't." "You are ignoring us." "Don't be silly, I was not ignoring you." "You sure?" "Of course, I'm sure." "By the way, Aunt Mito..." "What did you want?" "You guys are the ones ignoring me!" "It's dinner time!" "Well, now I'm gonna drag you there by force!" "Here!" "Thank you for dinner!" "I'm glad you liked it." "Well then..." "I'm gonna go pick up where we left off." "Okay, I'll do the dishes." "That won't do, you two." "You better call it a night and continue tomorrow." "What?" "You need concentration for detailed work, don't you?" "Working in the morning is much better than making yourself work through the night." "It's not like the internet's going to run off anywhere, right?" "Staying up late is bad for you, eh?" "Well, I'll cooperate so Aunt Mito won't get more wrinkles." "Women past their prime age really need to be careful, right?" "Killua!" "Well then..." "I'm gonna get ready for bed!" "My age is none of your business!" "1, 2, 3..." "No counting, got it?" "!" "Here we go." "Killua's an interesting kid." "Right?" "But aren't his parents worried about him?" "Probably." "But I get the sense Killua's family trusts him a lot too." "I see." "Hey..." "What is it?" "How long are you staying here?" "About a month, I guess." "And then you're going to go look for Ging?" "Yeah." "What's this?" "Ging left this box with me." "He told me to give it to you when you became a Hunter." "My dad left this for me?" "I'll tell you everything I know about Ging." "Thanks for everything!" "Goodnight!" "See you next time." "My earliest memory... is of Ging's back." "I was running behind him trying to keep up." "I think I was three years old." "It feels like I was always watching his back." "When he went off to take the Hunter Exam, he was twelve, the same age as you." "It was... fall." "A Hunter?" "Yeah!" "You mean you're leaving?" "Yeah!" "But why?" "Why?" "Tell me why!" "There's something I want." "Something you want?" "Yeah." "What is it you wanna get?" "Hey..." "Hey!" "Tell me!" "Something he wanted, huh?" "Aunt Mito, what was Dad looking for?" "I asked him several times, but he never told me." "So, we had a big argument about it..." "Well, the only one who was arguing was you." "So you've finally decided to tell him about it." "Anyway, we didn't see each other after that." "And Ging left this place." "He wouldn't return until ten years later." "That's when the photo above the bar was taken." "It's also when he married my sister." "Of course, he didn't settle down after that either." "He would just leave without saying anything and not return for several months." "The last time he left here like that was right after the funeral." "Funeral?" "For my sister." "Ging was holding you in his arms when he visited me." "You were still just a baby." "He said he couldn't return for a while and asked me to take care of you." "He didn't want to explain the reason why." "And then, right when I was about to say yes..." "What's wrong with you?" "!" "She yelled at Ging." "Mom!" "I thought everyone on the island would come running." "Ging left without saying another word." "This girl kept screaming, telling him never to come back." "There was quite an uproar." "Really..." "It doesn't matter!" "Why not?" "Well, this happened right after she died, remember?" "What he did was wrong!" "Yes, but still..." "The water's boiling, y'know." "Okay, okay." "Anyway, I felt that I could not leave the child to him." "So I got custody of you and..." "I've already told you this part, haven't I?" "Yeah." "At the end of the day, all that matters to him is getting what he wants." "He doesn't care about anything else." "In short, he's just selfish." "He always has been." "You really think so?" "Of course." "Maybe Ging had something only he could do." "That's the way I feel about it." "He wants something, huh?" "Is there something you want to get too?" "So you're not gonna tell us either?" "No, it's not like that." "It's just I don't know yet." "But that's why Killua and I have decided that we're gonna travel together." "Maybe I'll be able to find what I want during the journey." "Thanks to the Hunter Exam, I was able to meet Killua and experience a world I didn't know before." "I wanna see and do a lot more things." "Gon, you truly are Ging's son, after all." "Anyway, this is what Ging left behind back then." "Oh, that old box." "Who knows how many times you threw it away." "Yeah well, that's only because a certain someone kept rescuing it." "If you really wanted to get rid of it, you wouldn't have put it where I could find it so easily." "That's about it." "It's like I don't know anything." "There's no trace of him around here anymore." "Well, except for that box and you." "Ging, huh?" "Ging..." "Yeah." "That does sound better, after all." "Aunt Mito tell me more!" "What was Ging like as a kid?" "!" "Does it sound weird for me to call him by his first name?" "It feels more natural than calling him Dad." "That's not what I meant." "You want me to tell you what Ging was like as a boy?" "Yeah." "Let me see..." "I remember wanting Ging to play with me, but he'd always be off somewhere by himself." "And you ended up getting lost so many times." "Why do you always remember those things?" "She'd go running into the mountains trying to keep up with Ging and get lost." "Then Ging would come back later all by himself, and we'd get into an uproar." "The whole island would go on a search." "But no matter where she ended up, it was always Ging who found her." "It happened so often that people thought they were just playing a prank." "What?" "!" "I've never heard anyone say that." "Why would I do something like that?" "But you always ended up in the most out-of-the-way places." "It almost seemed like you didn't want to be found." "Oh, really?" "There was one other incident." "Ging and Mito went sailing together one day." "He didn't wanna go because he didn't think the weather was gonna hold." "But of course, she wasn't one to listen to reason." "Was I really like that?" "So, even at 25 years old, not much has changed since then." "Whaddaya mean by that?" "C'mon, tell me what happened next!" "Well, it didn't take long until a big storm came up and carried the boat out to sea..." "Mito." "I really was like that, wasn't I?" "Right, Ging?" "I see." "So you couldn't tell where your dad was just from Aunt Mito's story, huh?" "Nope." "The only thing you have to go on is that weird box." "But I'm glad I got to hear about Ging." "It's the first time she's talked about him so much." "Ging, huh?" "Anyway..." "So what'd you do?" "About what?" "The box, man." "Well..." "I wanted to bring it back to my room, but Aunt Mito told me it was time to go to sleep and she put it away." "Wow, she's really making a big deal about that thing." "That box was left for you, right?" "So that means it belongs to you." "Guess so." "You know what?" "After I saw the way Aunt Mito was last night..." "I kinda got the feeling that it's important to her too." "So I think I'll just wait and let her give it to me." "C'mon, let's go get breakfast!" "Now I wish I stayed up to hear what Aunt Mito was like when she was a kid." "It was pretty funny." "What's up?" "Killua, over there." "It's the box." "Hey!" "Stop!" "Come back!" "Found ya." "Mito." "Found ya." "C'mon." "Let's go home." "So this is it?" "This is the box?" "What the..." "How are we supposed to open this thing?" "There's no lid." "You're right." "Do you mind if I give it a try?" "Go for it." "I can't do it." "This is no ordinary box." "If it was, I'd be able to break it open even if it was welded." "Yeah, with your strength, you can lift about 12 tons, right?" "We don't know what's inside, so we can't just smash it." "It doesn't make a sound." "And it's yours once you become a Hunter..." "Maybe... that's a clue!" "I can think of something we haven't tried yet." "What do you have now that you didn't have before you became a Hunter?" "Hey!" "I know!" "A Hunter License!" "But there's no slot!" "Not that." "I meant Nen." "Oh." "It's a box inside another box?" "It's nothing but ordinary metal." "And it doesn't look like it was welded together." "Look at this Gon." "Look familiar?" "These markings..." "Oh yeah." "These are just like the ones on the string that Master Wing gave me." "Yeah." "He said that using your Nen would break that one too, didn't he?" "It seems to me that these markings have some Nen power of their own." "Right." "Well?" "You think you can open this one?" "Let's see..." "Hey, I found a slot!" "Bingo!" "A ring, a cassette tape, and a memory card." "Hey, look!" "There's the same pattern inside the band." "I don't think you should risk putting it on just yet." "Do you actually think Ging would wanna hurt me or something?" "Just trying to be safe." "Okay then, why don't we listen to the tape first?" "Sure, go ahead." "Let's make a copy while we're at it." "Y'know, just in case." "Hey, Gon." "So you've become a Hunter too." "There's one question I want to ask." "Do you want to see me?" "If you do, keep listening..." "If you don't, just press the stop button." "So that's a "yes" then." "I'll ask one more time..." "Are you sure?" "You should stop the tape here if you just think it would be nice to see me." "I'll give you a minute to think it over." "Well?" "I guess I don't even need to ask." "Oh well, looks like I'll have to wash this again." "So you want to see me that much?" "Well, I don't want to see you." "Honestly, I don't know how I could face you." "After all, I neglected you for selfish reasons." "I'm no good." "Hunters are selfish people." "We abandon things in order to get what we want." "Even if that means ignoring the feelings of others." "At least ten years will have passed since I recorded this tape before you listen to it." "During that time, there's one thing that hasn't changed." "I will always be the guy I am." "Go!" "While you're listening to this, I'm probably off somewhere doing something crazy." "If you still want to see me, then come and find me." "But like I said, I don't want to see you." "So if I hear you getting close, I'm gonna take off." "Try and catch me." "You're a Hunter now, aren't you?" "Wow..." "I'll say this about your dad." "He sure is one tough customer." "Hey, hold on." "I don't think he's quite finished yet." "Oh yeah..." "One more thing." "On this tape..." "I've recorded the voice of your mother." "It's the only thing we have left of her." "If you want to hear her, keep the tape running." "And if you don't..." "You sure?" "Yeah." "But you've never even heard her voice before." "I know, but that's okay." "It's like I said before..." "Aunt Mito's the only mom I know." "All done!" "Kurapika got a job?"

"Use Nen against Nen!" "Now it's starting to record!" "Oh, I get it!" "He's trying to erase his own voice!" "It's no use; it's protected by Nen..." "He even got our copy of the tape..." "Why did he need to go this far?" "My guess is that he was trying to cover his tracks." "You can learn a lot about a person by analyzing their voice." "Is that so?" "You can figure out their gender, age, height, weight, facial features, their physical fitness..." "You can even come up with a psychological profile." "Not only that, but background noise can give clues as to where the recording was done." "But I'm sure what he was really afraid of was something else." "Nen abilities." "Nen abilities?" "It wouldn't be crazy to assume that there are Nen users who have far superior analytical ability than machines." "For example, a power that tells you everything about the person just by hearing their voice." "I see." "He's tough." "One down, two to go." "We can deal with the ring later." "But the memory card is an issue." "It's a lot smaller than the standard model." "You think there's a special machine just for this?" "Is there one?" "You don't know about the JoyStation?" "The JoyStation?" "This is a memory card for a game console called the JoyStation." "JoyStation..." "When you access Toy Land and enter what you're looking for along with our address, it'll give you a list of all the stores in your area with their stock data." "For example, if you wanna get something as cheaply as possible, it will find you the stores that meet the conditions." "We want one JoyStation and a memory card for same day delivery." "Oh!" "They got one!" "How lucky!" "But unless we have the actual game, we can't play it with just the JoyStation and a memory card, right?" "Besides, there's no title or anything written on it either." "Can we tell what kind of game it is?" "Wow, you're pretty weird." "Haven't you ever played games before?" "Of course I have!" "Remember the Trick Tower?" "That's like a fossil!" "He really just doesn't get it." "Good evening, everyone." "Let me get straight to the point." "It isn't important to us whether you're licensed Hunters or not." "All that really matters is if you can collect the items that we want." "I want to tell you right up front that the job we're hiring you for is not entirely legal, but you will be well compensated for your work." "Sounds good to me." "Pay me enough and I'll do anything." "Incidentally, I'm willing to hire as many of you as I can for this assignment." "The more qualified people we have, the better." "In other words, there's no need to stall or outwit each other." "Now, on determining your capabilities, I've arranged a little test." "We have a full month before the auction starts." "Before then, I'd like each of you to bring me one of the items from this list." "Any item will do." "These are the data cards." "Here you are." "One for you." "And you." "And you." "I'll read them out to you and you can decide..." "First, a handgun collector." "Seeking the Misette Limited Edition Bull Snake, model 55, number 001." "The second, an antique plates collector, is seeking Rodo memorial plates from the years 1655 and 1667." "And the third, is a collector of body parts." "They're looking for a full body hide with a rising dragon tattoo." "A DNA certified hair sample from Sara, the actress." "The right arm of a mummy from the tombs of Egypsha." "The scarlet eyes from a member of the Kurta Clan, etc., etc." "Nasty hobby, huh?" "So, which one do you want?" "I'd like to choose... the third one." "That was fast." "You've got pretty bad taste." "Okay." "Then I'll contact the employer." "The interviews are being held at noon sharp, four days from now, at the Nostrade Mansion." "I got you an appointment in the name of the Employment Agency." "I understand." "Thanks for your help, I appreciate it." "Wait a sec..." "Let me give you a piece of advice... and this is coming from me, personally, and not as an employment agent." "For those who use the power of Nen, time isn't a factor." "There's no reason to go rushing into anything." "You will get to seize your opportunity some day..." "Until then, the shortest path for you is to build your reputation as a pro and gain trust." "I promise it will do you good to keep that in mind." "I've seen many people like you, you know." "Yeah." "There's plenty of time..." "So much time that we forget that we are bored." "The eyeballs of a Kurta Clan member." "Must be taken postmortem when the scarlet has settled." "A pair with head is preferred." "Difficulty level:" "A." "What's wrong?" "You're not looking so good." "Are you getting queasy already?" "This list is only the beginning, you know?" "Everything they're asking us to get is legit to own." "Once you're officially hired, the things you'll be asked to collect are gonna be a lot worse than this." "Like the preserved corpse of an endangered species carrying the most deadly pathogen known to man." "This one crazy client I worked for actually wanted me to find him a newborn..." "Be quiet." "Do not talk to me." "Didn't you say professionals should keep their mouths shut?" "Oh yeah, that is what I said." "If you complete this assignment, you'll be offered an official contract to handle our security and acquisitions." "I pray you do your best." "I will ingratiate myself and gain their trust first." "The man on the screen probably isn't even our actual client." "That's the distance between me and the client at the moment." "I must get as close as possible until they let down their guard and share their secrets." "There are two things collectors want." "One is more rare and valuable items." "The other is friends to whom they can brag about their collection." "There must be social ties between other flesh collectors." "A network of scum who make a contest of their depraved appetites." "That's the best and shortest lead to the Spiders." "I'm going to catch them." "Every last one of them." "It won't open." "I forgot to mention some crucial information." "I've prepared a little event to welcome you." "In exactly six minutes from now..." "You will participate in a simulation to measure your fighting skills in your current room." "It may be a simulation, but without real world conditions it would have no merit." "And it would be insulting to you too." "So, that means the weaker of you will be shaken off here, permanently." "Unless you are qualified enough to clear this, you can never hope to survive the task we will assign you anyway." "The minimum requirement for employment is to be tough." "Or at least tough enough to get out of this mansion alive." "That's it." "Good luck to all of you." "If you'd please excuse me, I'll be taking my leave now." "I wish you all well." "Hey." "What's going on with door?" "Can't we just break it open with force?" "Don't even try." "It's shielded with Nen." "Even if we all worked on it together, we'd never succeed in six minutes." "We're like birds trapped inside a Nen cage." "There's no point in struggling." "The concrete's about a meter thick, and it's about five meters to the ground." "It would take a power shovel an hour to get through this wall." "Hey!" "What do you guys intend to do?" "There's only four minutes left." "Are you just gonna sit there and do nothing?" "Good point." "Why don't we divvy up the items to hunt, so we're not all fighting over the same thing?" "Sorry, I've already decided." "I'm going after the mummy's right arm." "Then I'll go for the unicorn skull." "Hey, that's something we should talk after we get out of here alive." "Yeah, what he said." "For now, we should all come up with a plan to deal with the situation." "Let me see..." "I think I'll take the DNA certified hair sample from Sara." "For a rookie, you're pretty confident." "It's not that I'm confident..." "I just think it's best to do nothing at the present time." "What's your reason?" "Explain it to me!" "And you better satisfy me with a few words!" "Only a fool would tell you what time a sneak attack is going to happen." "If all they wanted to do was assess our abilities, they should've just ambushed us." "Right." "And I believe the most treacherous part of this whole simulation is the six minute countdown." "It does seem like a long time to wait." "But it's not long enough to come to a consensus and cooperate with people you've just met." "There's nothing worse than half-boiled team play." "Without trust, no teamwork will come." "Instead, we'll just be filled with anxiety and suspicion." "Immersed in suspicion, one will self-destruct before showing their true power." "That's why, for this particular simulation, we should avoid working as a group." "It's better to prepare individually so we can all use our abilities to the fullest." "That's my reason." "But, then why go through the trouble of setting up this whole simulation?" "!" "If they want us to act individually, that's all they need to say!" "It's likely... they want to hire real professionals who are capable of critical thinking and sound judgment under any circumstances." "You've got some good sense." "For a rookie, you're not bad." "Maybe it was a little long winded though." "If there was a spy among us, he could use the situation to his advantage." "That's the short of it." "Where are you going?" "I gotta pee." "The bathroom isn't shielded." "I've got time, there's still two minutes to go." "Two minutes left..." "Something's bothering me." "What is it?" "What's this feeling?" "It may be a simulation, but without real world conditions..." "Bring it!" "Hey, Kurapika, how are you?" "I hope you are not being too reckless looking for the Spiders." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Heart Tone x Kurapika x Dowsing!" "I'm gonna buy a cell phone!"

"Something's not right here." "It may be a simulation but without real world conditions..." "Real world conditions presuppose there could always be unexpected occurrences." "Then the predetermined time limit could only be the bluff with no guarantee for its certainty." "We are guinea pigs in a cage under surveillance." "Here, take this!" "Three gunmen..." "Six swordsmen." "And another two with swords upstairs." "I've gotta say, you guys did a good job of sneaking up on us..." "But your actual fighting skills are not that great!" "I don't even have to use my Nen to take you down!" "I see..." "So that's what's going on here." "Call them off." "I'll give you three seconds." "One... two..." "Okay, I understand." "So it was Nen." "I could tell when I punched one of 'em." "They were masses of human shaped aura." "But I couldn't tell it was that guy's Nen." "How could you tell?" "You hid it well by keeping close to the others, but from above it was obvious that you were the only one not getting attacked." "When those two attackers appeared upstairs, I knew something wasn't right." "Even after I jumped out of their reach onto the chandelier, they kept swinging their swords uselessly at me instead of going downstairs." "They were probably given an order to attack the enemy who was nearest." "The could only respond to simple commands and their fighting style was quite basic." "But even so, it would still take a significant amount of Nen to remotely control eleven masses of aura each the size of a man." "The feat marks the Nen-user to be an Emitter with pretty good certainty." "The amount of aura required to do that would limit the effective range to a few meters radius." "In other words, it would have to be someone in this room." "You're correct." "My name is Shachmono Tocino." "I'm also a Hunter, employed here at the mansion." "I'm a senior to all of you, in a manner of speaking." "Now that you understand, please put that thing away." "Please don't take it the wrong way." "I was only acting under orders." "I was told to test you with intent to kill." "I never expected to be found out so quickly." "With the amount of talent I've just witnessed, you four should be fine." "Do your best." "So there's another one mixed within us?" "You meant to make us second guess ourselves, but it was the wrong call." "I'll find out whether there are other infiltrators." "It's you." "You're the other infiltrator." "No way!" "You got any thing to back up your words?" "!" "So what if the chain wiggled a bit?" "It's something called dowsing." "So what?" "Like I'm saying, that won't prove anything!" "The chain is probably accurate." "Your heart started pounding heavily when Kurapika singled you out..." "If it were a false accusation, the heartbeat would've gradually built its speed and volume, with anxiety and shock of being misunderstood." "But in your case, it beat loudest at first and then slowly evened down." "And that's the typical melody of a liar's heart." "Also, I have no reason to believe that you were lying to us earlier." "The melody of your heartbeat was calm and consistent." "That decides it." "Two out of us five say it's you." "Wait a second!" "But that's not plausible!" "Maybe there are actually two more infiltrators among the five of us!" "It would be natural for a Nen-user to make a chain move when he wants it to, and it's not like everybody heard my heartbeat." "Maybe these two are the infiltrators and made sure their story would match." "Well, I'm not sure if they're the infiltrators or not, but there's no doubt these two already knew each other." "I'm sorry." "Looks like the tables have turned." "Confess already, you infiltrators." "We happened to be sharing the same compartment on the train here." "Which, if you think about the ways to access the mansion and the number of the trains here, is not all that unlikely." "Besides, if we actually were infiltrators, we wouldn't have been so careless as to let it know we'd met before." "However, now that we both are under suspicion, it's impossible to logically prove the truth of the situation." "It can't be helped then." "I'll put an end to this." "My hand makes a fist." "Anything I punch with it will burst into flames!" "The Wandering Haiku Poet!" "Oh man, pathetic." "Hardly any flames..." "I guess the poem was no good." "This is called a haiku." "It's a form of poetry in my native country." "Whatever I compose becomes real." "End of story." "If you lie to me, you will have a painful, fiery death." "In other words, all liars will burn in hell." "Answer, are you an infiltrator?" "I'm not." "I'm not, either." "I'm not." "Are you an infiltrator?" "I am." "Okay, that leaves you." "Think of the consequences before you answer." "Are you an infiltrator?" "Answer me." "All right then..." "My answer's yes." "Splendid!" "As a reward, I'll tell you something..." "My name's Squala, and even though I don't actually have an official License..." "I am a Manipulator." "I've already given out my orders..." "To what?" "And what kind of order?" "If I told you that, it wouldn't be much of a test, would it?" "I'm a professional." "I won't tell even if you torture me." "Instant Lover." "I also happen to be a Manipulator, and I have the Nen ability to turn anyone I kiss into my slave." "Here, you like that?" "Oh yes, please, walk all over me!" "Look at you, if your parents could only see you now." "This is a great show." "I've gotta record this." "You should be ashamed of yourself." "I'm getting this all on video." "C'mon, open up your legs a little wider!" "Now, tell me how you used your Nen." "If you don't tell me, I'm going to stop..." "No, don't stop!" "I'll tell you anything!" "Please!" "All I am is a lowly dog handler." "What a terrifying..." "I've always lived with dogs, since I was a little kid." "...Nen ability." "It got to the point where I was so attached to those dogs..." "I was so close to becoming like that." "...that I could get them to do whatever I asked them to." "There are dogs under my control all over this property." "For example, a Maltese would come up to you to let your guard down so that a St. Bernard and a Pitbull can team up and attack..." "I'm gonna cancel all my Nen, so please use me as your lowly dog!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Over here!" "Right here!" "You can't beat same-day delivery." "Thanks a lot!" "Thank you very much!" "I'm sorry, Gon, but I put that on your account." "So this is a JoyStation." "It's three generations old, but still on the market." "Pretty amazing, huh?" "I guess it's because some games can only be played on this console." "This is where you're supposed to insert the game disc." "But if you keep it empty, insert the memory card here, and push the power button, it shows us what's on the card." "And it will tell what kind and how many games have been played too." "I see." "Here we go." "What in the world would be on here?" "There's only one game saved on this thing." "Just one?" "Yeah." "But there's a lot of memory for it." "The one game is taking up all thirty blocks." "This probably won't work but..." "I'm gonna try to make a copy of it." "Copying Greed Island..." "So, this game's called Greed Island." "Heard of it?" "Nuh uh." "But now that we know what it's called, we can order it from Toy Land." "Greed Island... and we're gonna want same-day delivery." "One moment please." "No items match your request." "What?" "So, there are no stores that match the conditions..." "We'll give up on the same-day delivery." "For now..." "I'll just do a search for every place that carries it." "No items match your request." "Really?" "What's going on?" "None of the online stores have it in stock anymore." "I guess it's sold out..." "Or it could be that this game was never even on the market." "Does that happen?" "It might've been designed for private use." "Maybe it was never available to the public..." "or its sale was banned for some reason." "Sounds like this game is quite something..." "If I follow this game's lead, I should find Ging at the end." "This is starting to get interesting." "I'm gonna search the Game Almanac." "They have a database of every video game that's ever been made." "There!" "Huh?" "It actually was out on the market through a legitimate route." "Exclusively for Hunters?" "!" "It's a Hunting game?" "The price is..." "Five point eight billion?" "!" "That's an insane price!" "And only a hundred units were ever sold?" "!" "That's not very many?" "Not in the slightest!" "They have to be kidding!" "But now it all makes sense." "Of course it sold out." "Maybe the company that made it has some in stock." "Like ones that didn't work and were returned or something." "Well, it's not really likely but I could make a request." "Greed Island, was it?" "One moment while I check." "That game has been discontinued, and there are no plans to put it back into production." "It was created by a small developer that has since gone out of business." "No good!" "There isn't a used copy for sale anywhere." "I guess the only thing we can do is find someone who owns it." "If we are gonna go by legal means, we should try posting an ad on an auction site." "And then just wait and see if there's anyone who's willing to sell one..." "Yeah, but what about the money?" "Our prize money combined from Heavens Arena is over 800 million." "Five billion short." "I dunno about that." "When you are dealing with an individual seller, it's not unusual that the asking price is way more than the retail price." "We should prepare to pay at least twice that." "That'd be ten billion?" "!" "Well, we might as well give it a shot." "What've we got to lose?" "All right." "Though I doubt we'll get any response." ""Wanted:" "The game Greed Island." "Name your price."" "We've got ten thousand hits in an instant." "What's going on?" "I thought they only made a hundred copies of it." "That's right." "Which means that these people are trying to scam us with fakes." "I mean, the game is worth 5.8 billion, after all." "But maybe some of them have the real thing?" "Forget it." "Negotiating with ten thousand postings is gonna take us forever." "And we've got no way to verify if it's real or not." "I give up." "Give up, huh..." "That's annoying..." "Killua?" "He might have a copy of Greed Island." "What?" "Who?" "Who's got Greed Island?" "I really don't wanna ask him for a favor, but I guess we don't have a choice." "Hey!" "Gotoh, it's Killua." "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." "So listen, could you get Piggy for me?" "You're lying." "There's no way he'd leave the house." "Tell him if he doesn't get on the phone in ten seconds," "I'll smash all of his figurines." "Whaddaya want?" "!" "I'm busy, you know?" "I'm warning you, lay so much as a finger on my dolls, and I'll kill you." "I was only kidding, Bro." "Don't get so mad, you're scaring me." "Actually, I wanted to ask you something." "Greed Island, huh?" "Yeah, I've heard of it, but I never thought the name of a rare game like that would come out of your mouth." "Do you have it?" "No, I don't." "I wanted it, but I was only five when it came out." "I didn't have the money." "Apparently, there were over 20,000 pre-orders, at the time, for the hundred copies released, despite the fact that it cost 5.8 billion jenny, payable only in cash." "I did everything I could to get one for myself, but I couldn't even specify the owners." "It's a legendary game, in many ways." "But you can forget it." "Even I had to chalk it up as a lost cause." "Really?" "Even you've given up?" "That was a long time ago." "I've got some leads now." "But considering the cost and the amount of effort involved, it's just not really worth it." "Really?" "Then tell me about those leads." "Not for free!" "What if I give you a memory card of Greed Island for your information?" "I got only a memory card from one of my connections." "With your skills, I bet you could analyze the data and reverse engineer the game itself." "You better be telling the truth." "I'm not so stupid that I'd lie when I'm making a deal." "Okay, listen, I've got two leads here..." "Hold on, a cell phone's too risky." "Don't worry, even if someone is listening in, there's nothing they could do about it anyway." "The first lead is the Hunter's website..." "It's top of the line in info, content, and reliability." "All kinds of precious loot you'd never find on any other website moves through there on a regular basis." "That's probably your best bet." "But to access it, you need a Hunter License and the URL." "I'll give you the URL as soon as you send me the memory card." "Yeah, that's fine." "And the other lead?" "Have you ever heard of the Yorknew Auction?" "Yeah." "I've heard rumors that as many as several dozen Greed Island discs will be up for auction this year." "Apparently, there's a collector who's been buying up all available copies." "But there's a good chance this is just a rumor..." "Okay, I got it." "I'll send you the card in the usual way." "Sorry." "I promised him the memory card, but I couldn't think of another way to get him to talk." "Yeah." "That's okay." "But in exchange we've got two solid leads to follow." "And the first one's a website that's exclusively for Hunters." "Oh, yeah!" "We can use my License!" "Idiot!" "You can't do it from here!" "If you use your home computer, your IP address gets out there, you know?" "Thieves looking for a Hunter License will zero in on this island!" "Oh, my bad." "For stuff like this, you should always use public computers like at a cafe or hotel." "Either way, we won't be able to onto the website until we get the URL." "And... what's the other lead?" "The auction at Yorknew City." "My brother said it might only be a rumor." "But apparently, several Greed Island discs are gonna be auctioned off." "Really?" "He said that a single collector had been hoarding a lot of copies." "I wonder if that collector is..." "Ging?" "Yeah." "He could be." "In any case, in order to acquire Greed Island, we'll need a tremendous amount of money." "Ging Freecss and..." "The Yorknew City Auction." "Killua!" "Yeah, we have to go, don't we?" "To Yorknew!" "Following that, Greed Island disappeared from the market." "For now, it's just a topic of various rumors flying about the web, which have added to its mystique." "A 50 billion jenny reward was offered by Mr. Battera for the game and a memory card with endgame data." "Nobody has stepped forward." "This reward still remains in effect..." "Interesting..." "I'll bring this legend to an end myself." "We're finally off to Yorknew." "But before that..." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Killua x Big Fortune x Hunter's Tavern!"

"Oh, really?" "So if you're not kids, why do you need me to wake you up every morning?" "Gon, don't forget to write." "We'll be waiting for your letters." "Sure." "How about using email instead of snail mail?" "It'd be easier and more reliable." "It won't do unless it's a letter." "It'd be just dull otherwise." "You should write to us too, Killua." "What?" "Me too?" "Yeah!" "Letters?" "The only letters I've ever written were to threaten someone." "I'm not sure if I'd be any good..." "He's only kidding around, it's his idea of a joke..." "Oh wait!" "There was another letter that I sent out once..." "A death threat Zoldyck-style." "Killua's really into dark humor." "Right, Killua?" "Yeah..." "You like them?" "I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand your big city jokes." "Anyways, just don't forget to write to us, okay?" "Okay!" "And one more thing..." "Killua?" "Come visit us with Gon again, okay?" "My mother and I will be waiting for you guys." "Will you promise?" "Yeah." "Well, see ya, Aunt Mito, Grandma!" "Have a safe trip!" "Be careful out there!" "We'll be back again for sure!" "We'll see you then!" "You got it!" "He hardly seems like the same boy who left here for that exam." "He really has grown up, hasn't he?" "He really has." "Off we go!" "We got one!" "Here it comes!" "My brother finally sent us the URL address." "Not a carrier pigeon, but a carrier eagle, huh?" "Now that we have the URL address..." "We'll be able to access the Hunter's website." "And learn more about Greed Island, right?" "Yeah." "I wonder what kind of secret is hidden there." "Anyway, let's go access it!" "Yeah!" "This is it." "A website for Hunters only." "Uh huh." "Gon, type in your License number and swipe your card." "Right." "So this is what it looks like." "All these different characters have to be here for some sort of reason." "Try clicking on one and see what happens." "Okay." "If you're looking for someone, I can help you." "So he helps you look people up." "I'll put the word out for ya." "And he's like a message board." "Try clicking on the bartender." "What info do you want?" "There you go!" "Whoa!" "Lots of stuff!" "Try clicking on games." "Here we go!" "There it is!" "Greed Island..." "Show us something good." "Greed Island?" "I'll take twenty million." ""Twenty million jenny is required for the information requested."" ""Pay him?"" ""Yes/No."" "Looks like you can't get anything for free anymore." "Oh well, I guess it's a reasonable price." "After all, it is a 5.8 billion jenny game." "I feel like my sense of spending is getting numb..." "Okay." "Listen up." "Greed Island is a game made by Nen-users." "Their real motives are unclear." "It seems they're Specialists." "And it's likely there are multiple creators." "They infused all 100 game discs with Nen." "The Nen activates when the game is started." "The players are then sucked into the game." "As long as the player stays alive in the game, the console will stay on - even when unplugged." "It will only stop when they die." "I hear they can return if they find a save point..." "But no one knows where they are." "One owner of the game gave a testimony on the condition of anonymity." "The only people who can play this game are Nen-users." "To try and clear the game, I hired fifty Hunters." "Three of them were licensed professionals." "But none of them have come back." "Not a single one." "You think that's true?" "It's gotta be." "It's on the Hunter's exclusive website." "Seven units of Greed Island seem to currently be registered for the auction in Yorknew City." "Minimum bid: 8.9 billion jenny." "8.9 billion?" "!" "It's gone up three billion?" "!" "I knew this would happen!" "Now what do we do?" "Greed Island is considered a legendary game, even the general public knows that much." "Since it's started showing up in public auctions," "Hey, Killua!" "the difficulty level for finding a copy was lowered to H, or very easy." "But if you factor in the high price it commands, the acquisition difficulty level should be upgraded to G." "That's all the information I've got." "Good luck, fellow Hunter." "Interesting..." "We've gotta get our hands on a copy." "Killua, do you think we can enter the auction?" "Huh?" "!" "You heard him, it's starting at 8.9 billion." "There's no way we could bid on it." "No." "I don't mean as a buyer, but as a seller." "I see..." "We find something valuable and auction it off ourselves?" "That might work." "We still have 800 million left over from the Arena." "Let's invest it and see how much more money we can make!" "Right!" "All right, let's go treasure hunting." "To start off, we should hit all the internet flea markets and auction sites." "Let me know if you find anything." "Okay!" "Level G..." "That means that if I can't even get a hold of this..." "I have no hope of finding you, Ging." "Gon, I think I found something good." "I'll send it to you!" "Okay." "And if you find anything we can double our money on, send it to me." "All right." "Oh..." "Such a lovely melody." "Right at this moment, your heart is beating in perfect harmony with the chirping birds and the trickling stream." "Oh, the rhythm just changed." "This is the same melody as when I first met you." "It's like a pure, but very cold stream." "I had no idea you were this talkative." "Really?" "I don't mean to give you advice, but I think talking too much is a bad thing." "Speech tends to give away all sorts of information." "I suppose so." "But I believe there's nothing more undependable than words." "The words we say can deceive not only others, but also ourselves." "What's true and what's a lie can be hard to separate." "While a person's heart beat is always close to the truth." "It's that way with mine..." "and even yours." "However..." "There are times when talking is necessary." "Sometimes you can relieve your heart by talking." "I guess it depends on who, and what the circumstances are." "Now..." "Why don't you guys show me what you've found." "You sure are putting on some air." "Do you wanna be my slave again?" "Ah, no thanks." "I'm good!" "Here's what I found." "A DNA certified hair from the actress Sara." "Well, aren't you cool as always." "All right, now everyone else." "I found a piece of brain tissue from the assassinated dictator, General Sharman." "I've got the right arm of a mummy that was entombed in Egypsha." "A skull of a unicorn." "Nice." "They all seem authentic." "Very well done." "Okay." "Let's get to verifying the items." "Come up here and join me..." "All of you." "Here they are." "Why didn't he just show himself from the start if he was gonna come out and verify them." "What's with those vertical lines on his cheeks, anyway?" "All right, you can take these to the Boss." "Baise." "Basho." "Melody." "Kurapika." "From the simulation and the items you retrieved..." "You've all done very satisfying work." "Okay." "The four of you are officially hired." "My name's Dalzollene." "I'm the head bodyguard." "Welcome aboard." "Now, about the assignment you've been hired for..." "You'll be escorting the Boss to Yorknew City." "And get her safely checked into the hotel." "I'll brief you on all the details." "Please follow me." "We'll travel by private blimp to Lingon Airport in the Yorknew suburbs." "This leg of the trip will take 35 hours." "From there, we'll take a limo to the hotel." "A 90 minute drive." "You four will be assigned to the outer formation." "Any questions?" "Can you tell us who we're protecting the Boss from?" "That's a stupid question not worth answering." "Let's just say there are too many to keep track of." "The Boss is a VIP in the underside of society." "There are plenty of people who have grudges." "Perhaps you misunderstood my question." "I'm interested in knowing who you think might actually make any moves." "If we can narrow them down, and determine their motives, personality, and environment, we could effectively plan countermeasures." "And with the plan, we would keep the Boss safer." "I'm afraid you're the one who doesn't understand." "Our job is to protect the Boss at all times no matter who attacks, from where or how." "That's the only thing you need to remember." "Don't assume whom the enemy might be." "Everyone who approaches is an enemy." "How much is left?" "Between you and me..." "10.84 million jenny." "That geezer tricked us." "What a fraud." "The first vase sold for double, though..." "That was the trap to begin with when you think about it." "He let us get chump change so we'd trust him..." "Then he swindled an arm and a leg from us." "We lost about 3.9 billion." "After all, it's an old trick to con somebody..." "That's why I told you we should only stick with auction sites that people trust!" "It took eight hours to make a measly 985 jenny." "How many centuries will it take to make eight billion?" "!" "It's better than losing money!" "But you were so excited, too, when the vase sold!" "When was I ever excited?" "!" "Remember:" "Purchasing an item by only looking at its picture can be risky business." "Especially something that's expensive." "Let the buyer beware. {It said caveat emptor, but do we really want to translate it into Latin?" "}" "Wanna fight?" "Sure!" "Okay, it's a battle." "Oh yeah." "I'll beat you to pulp." "There're still two weeks before the auction." "So let's see which one of us can make more money!" "You're on!" "We'll split the money we've got left..." "And whoever makes the most by 9 p.m. on August 31st will be the winner!" "Fine by me!" "What if you lose?" "!" "The loser has to do one thing the winner asks." "It's a deal." "I'm gonna beat you thoroughly." "On your marks..." "Get set..." "Go!" "I wonder if those two are getting along?" "No need to worry, Mother." "They're very grown-up for their age." "Yeah, I guess you're right." "Miss Mito, another round!" "Sure!" "I've got 4.92 million to spend, and my goal is to make five billion." "No, how about ten billion?" "And I know just the place to do it!" "Oh, no one underage allowed, right?" "I get asked that all the time because of how young I look." "I may not look it, but I'm actually twenty years old." "Really, when you look young, you get in so much trouble." "I'm not lying." "You can check my ID if you want." "You satisfied?" "Stupid Milluki." "Had to pay him 500,000 for that fake ID." "Good." "This'll work." "Now all I hafta do is sell it on another site." "What?" "!" "Oh no!" "Item 89 goes to Mr. Alulu." "If I don't wanna lose to another bidder," "I'm gonna have to place my bids at the very last second." "Okay, I'm starting to understand this thing!" "All right, let's see what's next!" "This sucks!" "I just don't get it!" "I copied every single line of code perfectly." "So why isn't the game running?" "!" "How can that NPC walk through walls?" "!" "I didn't make any mistakes!" "Dammit!" "Did Kil trick me?" "No." "He doesn't have the skills to forge a game." "And he's not stupid enough to double cross me." "Maybe he was tricked when he got this..." "Or maybe it is real." "But if it is real, why doesn't it work?" "Because it's for Hunters only?" "God-dammit!" "Now it comes to this, I'll hack into the Hunter's website and..." "No, I can't!" "It's just too risky." "If Illumi was here, I'd make a deal." "I wanna know." "I wanna know." "I wanna know." "I wanna know." "I wanna know!" "I'll uncover the secret, no matter what the cost!" "I've got 12.7 billion in savings." "If I am to outbid the others, I need at least twice that." "Dad, let's make a deal." "I'll kill 15 people, so loan me 15 billion jenny." "Auto pilot activated." "Destination:" "Lingon Airport." "I'll get there three days before the auction." "When was the last time I left the house?" "Must've been when I was ten." "I wonder if he'll actually come to Yorknew City." "He probably would." "When I told him about the Spiders, his demeanor changed." "And those eyes..." "Thinking about them gets me excited." "I would like to have him on my side for what lies ahead with the Spiders." "Finally, I'll get to Yorknew tomorrow." "Hey." "Over there." "What's this?" "Could it be real?" "Sure is." "As human as you are." "He used to work here alongside us." "But he foolishly ignored my warning." "He presumed to know who the enemy was after being led astray by false information." "He acted on his own, which put the team and the Boss in danger." "This was his punishment." "The four of you are his replacements." "I have the new hires." "Right." "Please come in." "The Boss is expecting you." "This way." "May I introduce your boss, the one who you'll be protecting," "Miss Neon." "She's just a young girl." "September 1st, Yorknew City..." "I've been waiting for this day." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Spider x Yorknew x Assemble."

"Well, Mr. Rottfelli and Mr. Trink wanted to have their fortunes read too." "Geez." "No way." "I told you if you keep adding more names to the list, I'll quit." "Yes, I'm sorry..." "But both of these men are close associates of your father." "Where is Daddy?" "There was an important meeting that he couldn't miss..." "Oh please, he's "on vacation" with some woman." "Daddy?" "It's Neon." "This..." "What?" "I don't wanna!" "I'm not doing this anymore." "No way!" "You're not fooling me anymore." "No." "No." "No!" "I'll think about it." "Okay, but this is it." "If you break your promise again, I'll quit for sure." "All right!" "I'm getting another treasure!" "I'm very happy for you." "Okay!" "That's settled, so..." "I might as well get this over with." "Lovely Ghostwriter!" "I hear she's an amazing fortune teller." "Through her dad's connections, she's got many clients in the upper ranks of the mafia." "On the contrary." "It's more like he's become powerful in the underworld because of her skills." "That's why he's paranoid about losing her, and also fears retaliation from the people he supplanted along the way." "Remember." "Don't assume you know the enemy." "Everyone who approaches should be considered a threat." "There!" "All done!" "Well done, Miss Neon." "Y'know..." "The auction doesn't start until tomorrow." "So there's time to go shopping before then, right?" "I understand." "We'd be happy to escort you." "All right!" "So how many years has it been since the last time all thirteen of us got together?" "Three years, two months." "But two different this time." "Number Four and Eight were replaced." "Machi, is Number Four actually gonna show up this time?" "Who knows?" "Don't ask me." "It was your job, wasn't it?" "I only told him to come." "I no like Hisoka." "Why Leader let him do as he want?" "'Cause he's good." "His Bungee Gum is an excellent weapon." "Honestly, that thing would be tough to deal with." "What you mean?" "Are you saying Leader afraid of Hisoka?" "I can't let that pass." "I didn't say that." "You give him too much credit." "He isn't that tough to beat." "Really?" "Well, anyone can talk big, I guess." "I wonder what Leader's got planned for us?" "We are thieves." "We here to steal." "What do you think he's after this time?" "I bet it'll be some more old books." "He loves them the best." "No." "It must be game." "A game?" "They have most expensive game in world here." "Most dangerous too." "Makes me curious." "But it's just a game, after all." "Well, we'll know what we are after when we get there." ""The basement, where prices rise, will become your bed chamber with your brothers."" ""Do not descend stairs you've never climbed."" ""In numbers, do not compete with others."" "Those are the first four lines." "Three other poems begin this way, so four clients have the same fortune." "The common element between them is participating in the underground auction, where their lives will be in danger." "Words related to sleep suggest illness or death." "All right, send those as is to the clients at once." "Remember to warn them." "Yes, sir." "And one more thing." "Miss Neon is unaware of what she has written, and isn't capable of predicting her own future." "Do you think it's safe to let her go to the underground auction?" "Okay, let's play another hand." "No!" "Bring her home at once." "But she's been looking forward to this auction for a long time now." "Try convincing her and it might bring the opposite result." "If she gets upset, we may lose control of the situation." "All right." "Just don't take her there." "Buy her whatever she wants." "Spare no expense." "You'll have to put in the winning bid for the items yourselves." "I understand." "We're on our own." "For the auction that is beginning tomorrow..." "Our objective is everything!" "We're going to make off with all the loot from the underground auction." "Are you serious, Leader?" "Gangsters from all over the world cooperate to run the underground auction, you know?" "If we take it down, we'll make ourselves the enemies of every gang alive." "Are you scared?" "I'm ecstatic!" "Give us the order, Leader..." "Right now!" "I give you permission to kill them." ""The basement where all prices rise..." "will become your bedchamber."" "Oh, wow!" "There's so many people for it to be so early in the morning!" "Would you keep it down?" "You're embarrassing me!" "Hey, c'mon!" "Let's go see what's in there." "They've got a lot of cool stuff!" "Hey now, do you think we've got time for that?" "We've gotta earn eight billion jenny before the auction starts, remember?" "Hey, I don't need a certain someone who's broke to tell me that, do I?" "It was an elementary mistake to try and get rich by gambling." "Shut up!" "You only earned 15,000 in two weeks!" "You could've made more than that by begging for change on the street!" "At one point, I was up 200,660,000 jenny!" "But now, you've at zero!" "Even though I didn't make much, I still managed to beat you!" "But now I know how to negotiate better for the auction, and I have lots of inside information." "Most people get ripped off just when they think they've gotten the hang of it." "Anyway, I won our little bet, which means that I get to order you to do one thing." "Yeah, yeah." "Oh, here!" "A cell phone?" "Yeah." "Kurapika was planning on getting here yesterday, and Leorio's gonna be arriving this afternoon." "So we need some way to contact them, right?" "So you've finally decided to get one?" "It's one of the essential items for a Hunter, isn't it?" "It's been a while since I've seen..." "Kurapika said he has an assignment so he might not have time to see us." "An assignment?" "Yeah." "He said if he has free time, he'll call." "So I wanna make sure he can get a hold of me anytime." "Welcome!" "This phone is the latest thing." "It's the size of a card, and it comes with a GPS to help you find your way around." "What do ya think?" "Well, the price is right, and it would fit in my pocket..." "Yeah, I think I'll take it." "You don't want that one." "You can't roam with it, and it's not even waterproof." "There are ones that are much better." "Leorio!" "Yo!" "You guys look the same as the last time I saw you." "You too, Rioleo." "Le-o-ri-o!" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "!" "Anyway, if you're looking for a cell phone..." "Then I suggest the Beatle 07." "It's a little heavy and pricier, but it works anywhere in the world." "It translates 200 different languages." "You can watch TV on it and record your own movies." "Seriously?" "!" "Gon, get this one!" "And I'll get one too!" "Okay then, leave it to me." "Old man, how much for these ones?" "400,000 for two." "That's way too much, I'll give you 80." "For two, are you kidding?" "!" "Okay, make it 95 for one." "No way!" "102, that's my final offer!" "That won't do!" "I'll throw in an extra 500." "Get out of here, please!" "Okay, you're killing me here. 102,590." "That's pretty incredible." "I need at least 400,000." "I've never seen anyone haggle over ten jenny before." "How about we go 102,600?" "Whoa, look, everyone's watching." "Oh, come on!" "Okay, make it 610." "Now he's going up one Jenny at a time!" "That's something I've never heard." "All right, I'll take 'em!" "110,580 jenny each." "I'd say that's a pretty good deal for a new model." "Yeah, but wasn't that a bit dramatic?" "I've never seen anyone get applause for buying cell phones." "But thanks to him, we saved ourselves a lotta money!" "You have to beat down the price around here." "What you saw was nothing compared to what I've done in the past." "I happened to get the same Beatle for only 80,029 jenny." "The real negotiation starts after they ask you to get out of their store." "In some way, he's the furthest thing from an auction." "So true." "So, you two..." "You had to learn Nen, right?" "Yeah." "We sure did." "You're gonna have to learn it after you're finished with the medical exam, right?" "Well, no..." "Since I already have." "You did well today." "Now for your next assignment." "You will attend the underground auction at the Cemetery Building and bid on the following items." "Money is no object." "You will get them." "The mummy of Princess Corco." "DNA verified tissues used by the actor Sonne Limarch." "Kurta Clan eyeballs, also known as the Scarlet Eyes." "That is all." "The mummy will be auctioned tonight at nine o'clock." "We'll split into three groups:" "Bidders, surveillance, and protection." "However..." "We got a tip that someone might attack tonight." "We cannot take the Boss with us." "Listen up, Ivlenkov, Baise, Tocino..." "The three of you are in charge of bidding." "Be sure to remain flexible and react to whatever transpires." "Your main objective is to acquire the items we're after." "Wait a minute." "You sure three are enough?" "If it's dangerous, all of us should go..." "They only allow buyers to attend in groups of three." "Weapons and communication and recording devices are not allowed inside." "The mafia community is fully responsible for the building security." "That's why there have been very few incidents in the past." "Inside the main auction hall, everything is based on the honor system." "It's an unspoken rule to leave all grievances at the door." "Don't cause so much as a minor disturbance." "And refrain from talking to anyone else." "Now, let's get to work!" "The minimum bid is 8.9 billion and all you have is 5.0 million?" "!" "Listen, you two." "Southernbees, where the auction is taking place, is the most prestigious auction house in the world." "You guys can't even afford to pay the entrance fee with what you got." "You told me this game holds clues to you dad, Gon..." "But seriously, getting a copy of one is next to impossible." "But on the treasure list, the difficulty level of getting one was "easy."" "For real?" "!" "Because to get one all you need is money." "The world is all about one thing: money!" "Yeah, but..." "If all it takes is money to buy something, then it isn't really a treasure, is it?" "You're professional Hunters." "Shouldn't you be able to get something at this level without a problem?" "Let's see if there are any good ideas." "I bet there are." "There are plenty of stories of dreams coming true in Yorknew." "Oh really?" "Lots of them?" "Simple and stupid." "Leorio must be an Enhancer too." "Yeah, lots of them." "Let's find them." "Yeah!" "What's this?" "A swap meet?" "Try clicking on it." "Okay." "Swap meet:" "A gathering for the auction and barter of objects." "A buyer exhibits various items..." "And the seller picks the one he likes and offers an exchange with his own item." "There are also Winner-Takes-All and Conditional auctions." "There sure are a lot of different types." ""Winner-Takes-All" is a normal auction." "Then what's a Conditional one?" "That sounds sexual." "Conditional Auction." "A type of auction where the seller specifies a non-monetary condition, and hands over his item to the first buyer who satisfies that condition." "Conditions?" "What's that all about?" "I get it." "This gives me a good idea." "Let's go, Gon!" "You too, Lukia." "I just thought of a foolproof way for us to make some money." "C'mon, Lukia!" "That's a pretty lame attempt at a joke, you know." "You're the one who started it." "Oh yeah." "Come on..." "Step right up!" "Over here!" "You don't want to miss this!" "A Conditional Auction is about to get underway!" "The prize:" "A diamond ring worth three million!" "It was bought today, and comes complete with a certificate of authenticity!" "And the game is..." "Arm wrestling." "The first one to beat this boy gets the ring." "And it'll only cost you 10,000 jenny to participate." "Look at that scrawny kid!" "Who couldn't beat him?" "!" "All right then, let's start the auction!" "Calm down, calm down." "One at a time." "Here, I'm first!" "Sorry, kid." "First, hold back and match their strength." "Second, pretend to struggle once in a while." "Ready..." "Go!" "Whoa!" "He's strong!" "Can he do it?" "!" "This is it!" "This is it!" "Oh, I'm sorry, you lose!" "All right, who wants to go next?" "!" "Here, I'll go next!" "I won't los... so fast." "Another loser!" "Anyone else?" "!" "Hey, guys, form a line." "So this is a Conditional Auction." "But at 10,000 jenny per person, it'll take another 889,999 wins to make the 8.9 billion we need." "Sorry, you lose." "Next please!" "He's beaten 150 guys?" "!" "Is he really a kid?" "But he must be close to his limit by now." "He's starting to sweat, must be getting tired." "I hope he doesn't lose until my turn." "Aw so close, maybe next time." "Why can't I win?" "!" "I feel bad, like I'm scamming them." "I hope making easy money like this won't come back to haunt me." "Anyone else wanna give it a shot?" "!" "Oh, why hello!" "Our first female challenger!" "Good luck, little lady!" "Hey monster kid, go easy on her, will ya?" "!" "How old are you?" "Where did you come from?" "Hey!" "Stop hitting on her!" "Get serious." "I'll do my best." "Okay, me too." "Keep your left hands on the table." "All right..." "Ready..." "Go!" "You're a strong one, girlie!" "Yeah!" "This is gonna be a close one, folks!" "You go, girl!" "Oh!" "That was close, but no cigar!" "Thank you very much for your time." "Oh." "You're welcome." "Please come back, young lady!" "Too bad." "What?" "What happened to my 10,000 jenny?" "!" "You were really trying, weren't you?" "Uh huh." "I wonder who she was?" "Maybe she's the women's world champion of arm wrestling." "I kinda wanted that diamond." "But that boy was strong." "No, you too weak, Shizuku." "You should've used your left hand." "Whoops!" "You're right!" "Yeah." "Why you not use your strong arm?" "He put up his right hand, so I did the same." "I want to go back there and try again." "No, we have no time." "We have job to do." "Yeah." "Besides, buying and bidding are against our ways." "We're a band of thieves." "We take what we want." "No way!" "I'm going, no matter what!" "I wanna go!" "I wanna go!" "I wanna go!" "Can you hear that?" "She's out of control." "Yo, how's everybody doing?" "!"

"Well, we'll know what we are after when we get there." "Everything." "We're going to make off with all the loot from the underground auction." "Are you serious, Leader?" "We'll make ourselves enemies of every gang alive." "Are you scared?" "I'm ecstatic!" "Give us the order, Leader!" "I give you permission..." "to kill them." "Step right up!"

"Hey, Gon, Killua, let's go eat." "We'd better grab a bite now since it looks like we'll be here for a long haul." "But finish up in five minutes, okay, Gon?" "250 wins means we've made 2.5 million jenny so far." "That's not too bad." "But to get to our goal of 8.9 billion," "Gon needs to win over 800,000 more matches." "We have a long way to go." "Gon can do it!" "Nothing's impossible for this guy!" "The problem is time." "The auction will be long over by the time we make enough money." "Is the Mafia meeting tonight?" "Yeah, I think the underground auction is about to begin." "The one that us normal folk can't get into." "I heard that the Mafia is running this one." "So it makes sense that most of the auctioneers are Mafia too." "Really?" "I didn't realize you knew so much, Leorio." "Well, unlike you guys, I did my homework before coming here." "Anyway..." "The streets of this town are dangerous at night with all types of criminals crawling around." "Hey, what's the deal?" "Yeah, let's go already!" "Kinda getting dangerous over here too." "Well, about time we start again." "Okay, this Conditional Auction is once again open!" "After crying so much, she's now finally fallen asleep." "But there's no guarantee what she'll do once she wakes up." "Of course, we're going to ensure that she gets every item she wanted." "But it was her goal to win the items herself on this trip." "So, when she wakes and finds out she missed the auction..." "I can't imagine how disappointed she'll be." "All right." "I'll cut my plans short and make my way there." "For now, make sure to get the first item, the Queen's Mummy." "That should cheer her up a bit." "Yes, sir." "It's me." "How's it going over there?" "Nothing unusual." "Everything appears to be normal." "Understood." "We'll let you know if anything changes." "They're certainly not taking any chances, are they?" "Nobody but the Mafia Community's own security personnel can get within 500 meters of this building." "If they didn't, that neighborhood would be filled with tough guy types." "It would be like advertising that something illegal was going on." "I suppose so." "May I ask you a question?" "Sure." "The Scarlet Eyes..." "What exactly do they mean to you?" "And why would you ask me that?" "I don't have any ulterior motive." "I'm only curious." "It's just that when Dalzollene showed us the slide of them, your heartbeat became very erratic." "Endless wrath..." "That's what the rhythm sounded like to me." "It seems there's no point in lying to you." "I belong... to the Kurta Clan." "Normally, our eyes are blue and turn red only when agitated." "That's why I wear these black contact lenses — to escape detection." "I'm searching for the eyes of my brethren." "That is why I took this job." "I have to reclaim them, no matter what the cost." "Are you going to tell Dalzollene?" "I won't..." "I don't want to be killed." "So you can tell that too?" "The beating of a heart is honest." "Just now as you spoke, yours was calm, yet it was also very cold." "That's the melody of someone who's willing to sacrifice his own life for his will." "The rhythm suggests that while you bear me no ill will, you'd kill me if you had to." "Why did you apply for this job?" "Why do you ask?" "No reason." "Just curious." "I'll tell you, but how will you know if I'm lying or not?" "I'll judge by your eyes." "I'm also a Pro Hunter." "I guess you could call me a Music Hunter." "I'm looking for a particular piece of sheet music." "You are not lying, but..." "Your eyes show that you're not telling me the whole truth." "Well, I guess you are not far from the mark." "What I'm looking for is unique." "The Sonata of Darkness." "Supposedly, it was composed by Satan himself." "It has four solo parts: one for piano, violin, flute, and the harp." "They say anyone who performs or listens to it will be horribly cursed." "That sounds like an urban legend." "It's hard to believe that such a thing could really exist." "This is the price I had to pay for listening to the flute solo." "Just one movement was powerful enough to do this to me." "Would you like to see an old picture of me?" "My friend who played it died." "His whole body was like my arm..." "His friend had taught him the solo on the condition that he never play it." "However, we were drunk and merry that day." "With this deformity, I also got this ability." "But I'd exchange it all to be how I was before." "I don't want anyone else to suffer like we did." "And that is why I have to find it..." "and destroy it forever." "The reason I chose this job was because" "I thought that the quickest way to find the devil was to be among evil people." "Not so different from you, is it?" "Let's get back to work." "The auction is about to begin." "Hey!" "What're you..." "This crowd is pretty impressive." "A lot of them are Mafia capos... but some of the bosses are here as well." "That's unexpected." "What is?" "I mean, it's only an auction, right?" "Why don't they just send representatives?" "This place also provides a chance for the families to flaunt their wealth and influence." "And the Community receives five percent of the proceeds as commission." "It sort of works as paying tribute." "It presents them with a great opportunity to demonstrate their fiscal power." "Here, reputations are made and lost, as well as one's public image." "I've even heard that certain Mafia families have bankrupted themselves by getting into bidding wars that drove the prices too high." "Really?" "Sounds like our boss might be in danger too." "I mean, money's no object, right?" "What the hell's going on?" "What's the problem, lvlenkov?" "Rotferri, Trink, Remi, Echigo... nor anyone from their families have shown up yet." "What?" "!" "Don't they attend this auction every year?" "Exactly." "And the other thing they have in common is that they all had their fortunes read by the Boss yesterday." "I get it..." "That tip was actually the Boss's fortunes." "Things could get pretty ugly." "It doesn't really matter who attacks, from where or how." "We just do the job we were hired for, right?" ""The basement where all prices rise..." "will become your bedchamber."" ""Do not descend stairs you've never climbed."" ""In numbers, do not compete with others."" "Ladies and gentlemen." "I'm glad you could join us here tonight." "Now then, we'll skip formalities and introductions, and kill you as quick as possible!" "Get behind me!" "Protect me, balloon soldiers!" "Eleven Assistants!" "Nen bullets." "He's an Emitter too." "They blew through my Nen and even inflicted fatal wounds..." "Each round holds so much force." "Tocino!" "Get outta here!" "You've gotta warn them!" "The Boss's prediction was right on the money." "Baise, contact the leader..." "Well, that didn't take much." "I had nothing to do at all." "Okay..." "Blinky." "Suck up all the corpses and the personal belongings from this room." "Plus the chairs." "This guy still breathing." "Who the heck... are you guys?" "Not that it matters because you're all as good as dead." "The Community will track you and your families down." "Every single one..." "will suffer the pain of hell..." "Family?" "What's that?" "Something's happened." "A bunch of cars just pulled up to the front entrance." "Their guns are drawn." "I'd better call the leader." "All right." "You two should head over there immediately." "I'll contact the others and give them orders." "Let's go." "Right!" "There is no one..." "left here!" "There's nobody here." "They're all gone!" "Yeah, of course we checked!" "It seems as though everyone in the hall has gone missing." "Search the building!" "The Mafia security is just arriving too." "It's getting pretty chaotic." "Move it!" "Tocino and others should've left some kind of clue behind." "Have a look around." "We'll try." "I'll be waiting." "I'll look over there!" "What's up with this?" "!" "Like I know!" "Dammit." "Look at this." "Baise's bracelet." "I see..." "I doubt that they would have allowed themselves to be captured." "I think it's safe for us to assume that all of them have been killed." "I want you to wait there until we find out how the Community will react." "I'll give you further instructions as soon as possible." "Every item up for auction has been stolen!" "How the hell did they get out of here?" "They must've gone off the roof!" "Yes, I understand." "All right, spread the news to all the families who are here in Yorknew." "Be on the lookout for any suspicious-looking airships." "And take their leader alive." "A reward is being offered by the Community to the family that catches them." "Really?" "So it's exactly as the fortune predicted." "I feel a bit nervous with only a few of our men left, but we cannot fall behind the other families." "And we've still got to get that mummy back as well." "Do all that you can but remember to keep a strict watch over Neon." "Yes, sir." "Kurapika and Melody." "Linssen and I will continue to guard the Boss." "You two rendezvous with Squala and the others at the Central Square Overpass to begin searching for the culprits." "Do you think Baise and the others are really dead?" "I don't want to believe it, but probably." "But let's not discuss now!" "I know." "Even though we were tipped beforehand, we still couldn't do anything to prevent this." "Anyone capable of orchestrating a robbery of this magnitude against the Mafia must have incredible Nen abilities." "There's only one organization I can think of who could pull this off." "The Spiders." "They're here in this city." "C'mon, get in!" "There's no time to waste!" "There was nothing there?" "Yeah, the vault was completely empty." "According to the auctioneer, who was the only person who knew anything, all the items were relocated somewhere else a few hours ago." "As if... they expected this would happen all along." "Their timing was too perfect." "Perhaps..." "there's a "Judas" among us." "No, there isn't." "Besides, I don't consider Judas to be a traitor." "The story goes that Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty silver coins." "It's hard to imagine how much the Mafia would have to offer one of us to betray our own." "Think of the merit." "What would that person have to gain from selling us to the Mafia?" "Money?" "Fame?" "Status?" "Is there anyone among us... who would actually be satisfied with any of those things?" "Nobody's like that." "Right?" "Also, there's something else that doesn't add up." "If there was an informant, then their response to the situation was pitifully inadequate." "We're Class A bounties." "If they had really known we were coming... shouldn't the security have been on higher alert?" "From what you tell me... the Mafia acted like they had some information and decided to be a little more cautious than usual." "Another strange thing is... when they moved the items to another location, it seems they didn't inform the security personnel or the guests." "So here's my theory." "Even though they had an informant... the info probably wasn't all that specific." "But despite that fact, someone high-up in the Mafia Community trusted that information enough." "Well..." "I still don't get it." "I mean, who was passing what information to whom?" "Anyway, what do you want us to do?" "Were you able to find out where the goods have been transported?" "I tried..." "But even in his dying breath, the auctioneer guy said he didn't know." "Feitan worked him over pretty good, so I gotta believe it's true." "I feel most sorry for him." "We did get the info on who would know where they moved the items." "It seems he's a member of something called the "Shadow Beasts."" "Apparently, each of the Ten Dons brought in their best man to create this elite active force." "Who are these Ten Dons?" "Who are they?" "They are the promoters of the Mafia Community, who are heads of large organizations that have territories in ten regions across six continents." "Since there are ten of them, most people just call them the Ten Dons." "This is the one time of the year that they all gather in one place to discuss their plans and issue orders." "Really." "And the ones who carry out those orders are the Shadow Beasts?" "All right..." "From the fact that these Shadow Beasts were not involved in the security, we can deduce that they did not know we would intervene." "You're right." "Now that you mention it, the security was laughably poor." "So, how did they transport the auction items?" "Right." "That's the thing." "Evidently, one of the Shadow Beasts showed up all by himself." "Now this 25-square-meter vault was loaded from top to bottom." "He stepped into the vault carrying nothing." "And he walked out carrying nothing." "The vault was totally cleaned out." "It was a tall guy who called himself "Owl."" "I guess he must have a Nen ability similar to Shizuku's." "Probably." "The Mafia should have realized by now that since 500 guests vanished... that they must be dealing with Nen-users." "Oh, too bad!" "Who's next?" "!" "The best active force of the organization, the Shadow Beasts, huh?" "I haven't been this excited in a long time." "Would you mind if I fought them?" "Of course not." "All you have to do is create a big enough disturbance... and then they'll come to you." "The Spiders..." "I'm finally face-to-face with them."

"We'll teach you what happens to those who mess with the Mafia." "You see this?" "It's a super bazooka!" "It trashes tanks!" "I'm gonna blow you to bits!" "How sad..." "You are comparing me to a mere tank?" "Die!" "That's a direct hit!" "He's dead meat." "Let me see..." "I call doubt." "What do you know?" "That actually did hurt a lot." "No one escapes me!" "What's that guy made of?" "!" "What was that explosion just now?" "He blocked a bazooka shell with one hand." "The enemy must be an Enhancer Nen-user." "And incredibly powerful one at that." "Ones who arrived here ahead of us will be annihilated." "Seems firearms won't do anything to him." "You mean bazooka shells don't faze him one bit?" "Look for yourself." "You'll see the enormity of his aura..." "And the piles of corpses." "Who the hell is that guy?" "He's tearing them apart like they're made of paper or something!" "We're supposed to catch that thing?" "No way I'm doing that!" "Me either." "We won't stand a chance." "But we are to carry out the mission." "We can't just back down..." "Are you insane?" "The mission should be canceled at this point!" "Then, contact the leader." "What's wrong?" "A heartbeat." "There's an extra heartbeat here." "Wh-Who the hell is this?" "Th-The Shadow Beasts." "Shadow Beasts?" "Yeah." "The elite force employed by the Ten Dons, the leaders of the Mafia Community, are called the Shadow Beasts." "This is the first time I've ever seen one of them." "What an unconventional rhythm." "It's hard to tell if it's even human." "Tell me, which family do you belong to?" "W-We're bodyguards who were hired by Mr. Nostrade, who is part of the Ritz family." "I see, Nostrade's men, huh?" "Seems you have some Nen ability, but you should stay out of this." "Because these are no ordinary thugs you're up against." "Killing has become part of their daily life." "In other words, they're professional assassins." "So they're not much different from us." "I can't believe it..." "The Community has called in the Shadow Beasts?" "I guess that's the one who attacked the auction." "He looks like he'd be an interesting adversary." "But it all stops here." "We will be the end of him." "All right then, let's proceed according to plan." "Eight." "Looks like I'm out." "I call doubt!" "Just see the card." "Up for another round?" "Hey..." "How can you be so confident when you just lost?" "Well, right..." "They here." "Shadow Beasts." "What should we do?" "We won't do anything." "He told us not to interfere." "That he did." "The Shadow Beasts, huh?" "Where are the auction items?" "What did you do with the guests and the security?" "We killed them." "Where's the stuff?" "Tell me or I'll..." "That hurt." "I doubt it." "Now, now." "You didn't even look at the card." "You're in a bind now." "Well, you need to make a choice." "You can be killed by me, underground..." "Or, you can be killed by the three of them up above." "Game over." "It's no use." "When I'm underground, my power increases exponentially." "You might have monster strength, but you can't escape me." "Have you finished praying yet?" "We don't have time to be admiring you lying there." "Well, I guess it's about time we helped." "Let's go!" "Just stay there." "You'll be going to hell soon!" "You muscle head!" "Die!" "Idiot!" "He serious now." "You are the one who can't escape!" "{\3cH7D3ED0\blur3\b2\fs35}BIG BANG IMPACT" "A spider tattoo!" "He's..." "I-I don't believe it." "I've never seen a Nen-user this powerful!" "A Spider!" "Poor guy." "Not a trace of him left." "That underground Shadow Beast is done for." "His Big Bang Impact is as terrifying as always." "Frankly, it's just a regular straight right hand punch with Nen infused." "The fact that it's just a simple right hand punch is the reason why it's so powerful." "If you ask me, there's no better attack for someone who's mastered Enhancer abilities to the maximum level." "Oops." "If he heard me say he mastered the Enhancer ability, he'll beat me up again." "After all, his ultimate goal is to build up the Big Bang Impact to the point where it's as destructive as a nuclear warhead." "He says that all the time..." "but is he serious?" "Yes." "Absolutely serious." "That's one of the scariest things about Enhancers." "With that confidence, maybe Uvo will actually do it." "Right?" "All right, who's going to be the next to die?" "The Phantom Troupe, huh?" "He's got a big mouth." "That guy's getting cocky." "You're the one who'll die!" "Idiot!" "All right!" "I like reckless guys like you!" "However... you'll die!" "I can manipulate my body hair and turn it into sharp needles." "You got a terrific punch, but it's useless if it doesn't reach my body." "Do nothing and your face will turn into a beehive too." "To think they can pierce or tear off Uvogin's steel-like skin..." "These guys are quite skilled Nen-users." "Not bad at all." "You need a hand down there, Uvogin?" "Mind your own business!" "I'll shake this little hairball loose in no time!" "No, you won't." "I've got a thousand quills buried into your flesh, and you'll never get them out!" "Is that so?" "Then I'll just use you as a part of my fist!" "That won't work." "Since I can manipulate them at will, I can easily make some hairs soft." "You little..." "Damn!" "You really don't know when to give up." "Your right hand has been neutralized." "You're making this too easy, you muscle head!" "I'm gonna chew you right down to the bone!" "Yeah right!" "What a tough bastard." "So it's finally starting to work." "The fast-acting neurotoxin in my fangs should have paralyzed you long ago, but you're as tough as an elephant." "Anyway, you should be unaffected neck up." "So you can still feel pain and fear." "Do enjoy yourself." "If he used lethal toxin, this would've ended here." "He must get his kicks from torture." "I have lots and lots of leeches of all sizes living inside my body." "Some of them can be used for medicinal purposes while others carry diseases." "I'll give you some especially strange ones." "These leeches have a unique character." "They enter your body through a wound and then burrow straight to your bladder where they'll lay their numerous eggs." "My favorite part of the process is when millions of new baby leeches burst out into the world as you urinate." "Except most people don't get a chance to enjoy it because they die from the sheer agony of it all." "With all the leeches crawling inside you, you'll meet your end by tomorrow." "That was awful." "I thought disgusting stuff is supposed to taste good." "I don't need much to beat you guys." "If I can move from my neck up, that's more than enough!" "A bullet?" "!" "No!" "A piece of Leech's skull!" "Is he going to shoot a piece at me too?" "But it's useless." "My quills will deflect any bullet!" "You can't deflect sound with quills, can you?" "Yeah, everyone who got here before us has been wiped out!" "That's right." "Even the Shadow Beasts!" "Hey!" "Kurapika!" "What do you think you are doing?" "The answer's obvious, isn't it?" "I'm going to capture him." "Hang on a second." "I've asked for Dalzollene's order." "It makes no difference." "Y-Yeah, that's right." "Kurapika's going in alone." "What a terrifying melody of anger and hatred." "He's completely lost himself." "Kurapika!" "Don't rush into your death!" "For now, we should retreat and make preparations." "Kurapika!" "This is suicide." "We can't let him go like this!" "A Field in Spring..." "It's the best song for relaxing anyone." "Have we calmed down now?" "Y-Yeah." "We should calm down first." "Then we can come up with a plan." "Y-You are right." "Anyway, we should ask Dalzollene for what to do next." "Melody, I'm fine." "My mind is clear now." "Thank you." "But I'm still going to capture them." "Squala." "Tell the leader this:" ""I know what I'm doing." "Let me go in."" "You moron!" "You should've warned us you were gonna do that!" "Were you trying to make us all deaf?" "!" "Sorry about that!" "But if I warned you these guys would've known." "Besides, you could easily cover your ears before the sound reached you, right?" "Well, yeah... but..." "Right?" "So no problem." "Shizuku!" "Suck the poison and leeches out of my body, will you?" "!" "Your vacuum cleaner should be able to handle it, right?" "!" "Well, Blinky can suck out the poison, but not living creatures!" "Really?" "!" "I never knew that!" "This ain't good." "Let me take a look at them." "This right here is a spotted string leech." "These guys are real trouble for your body." "They reach your bladder in about 24 hours." "And once there, they'll lay numerous eggs and die." "The eggs hatch pretty quickly and get excreted in your urine, but..." "The pain will be enough to kill you." "However..." "The eggs require a high alkaline environment in order to hatch, and passing unhatched eggs is painless." "All we have to do is keep the pH in your body low." "So from now until this time tomorrow, you should drink plenty of beer and pee as often as you can." "And once your urine turns from black to clear, you're safe." "So you're saying, I should drink nonstop?" "Yup." "Well then, Shizuku, could you suck the poison out quick?" "Okay!" "You know..." "Someone should go attack the liquor store and steal the beer." "All right!" "We finally get to see what Leorio's Nen ability is." "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Hisoka x Alliance x Spider Hunting!" "Well, Leorio, that's uh..."

"Of course." "We caught a member of the Phantom Troupe." "I'm positive." "Okay, I understand." "We'll see you there." "Did you see it?" "Yeah." "This chain wrapped around his body in an instant." "Maybe another one of the Shadow Beasts?" "Uvo certainly can't move by now because of the poison, plus he still has all those leeches in him." "Can't be helped." "We should go save him." "We can find out where he's going." "I erased this thread's presence with Zetsu." "So unless they use Gyo or notice the needle and throw it away, this thread will lead us right to him, no matter where they go." "Hey." "Did you just say that you had caught me?" "Do you think these chains can hold me?" "You better kill me now or you'll regret it later." "Be quiet." "Don't you understand?" "This is your once in a lifetime chance, so drop the attitude and get it over with..." "I told you to be quiet." "This guy..." "He's got incredible power." "Poison may have paralyzed me, but that has nothing to do with it." "Even though he's a Manipulator, he can put enough strength in this little chain to equal my power of an Enhancer?" "I won't lose!" "This is far from over!" "My Chain Jail can only be used on you guys..." "To capture Phantom Troupe and deprive you of your liberty." "That's its only purpose." "Don't kill him." "We have many questions for him." "If I happen to use this ability on anyone other than the Troupe..." "I will instantly lose my life!" "A self-imposed restriction and proof of my resolve." "And risk will work as a spring." "The bigger the risk and resolve, the stronger the power given to my Nen." "Hey, is he all right?" "He's fine." "You sure about that?" "Someone's following us!" "Seriously?" "!" "Look." "They're so fast." "How?" "We are getting away from the city on purpose, you know?" "No one should have seen us taking him away..." "It's a string, most likely made with Nen!" "What did you say?" "!" "There's something on his calf!" "What is it?" "That's it!" "Damn!" "They found it." "That's okay." "We've already caught up." "Damn it, Basho!" "Drive faster!" "What happened?" "!" "They are not after us..." "I caught a glimpse of someone jumping onto the hood of their car." "It was probably one of the remaining Shadow Beasts." "We are to detour and head back in the city." "On our way!" "Hey!" "Let me outta here!" "You guys are really something." "You were able to react fast enough to get out of that car..." "I better stay on my guard." "Hey, don't ignore me!" "Nobunaga had bad position." "What a fascinating ability this guy has." "So anything wrapped in that cloth gets shrunken down." "With that, he can put all the auction items in his pocket." "I see." "He was the transporter, which means he can return them to their original size." "Oh..." "Who are these guys?" "Are they really members of the notorious Phantom Troupe?" "They look fragile." "Hey, aren't there only supposed to be ten Shadow Beasts total?" "Then this is the rest of them." "That's odd." "The guy with the chain took Uvo, and they left by car." "Then he's not one of the Shadow Beasts." "Well, we ask them and find out." "Hey, wake up." "I guess you probably know what's going to happen to you." "Where did you take the items from the auction?" "What time is it?" "How long was I out?" "You don't seem to understand the situation you're in." "I'm the one who asks the questions around here." "The only time you're going to speak is when you're telling me what I want to know." "Go ahead, try it." "If you can make even a scratch on my body," "I'll answer any question you want." "My colleagues told me that neither firearms nor a bazooka had any effect on you." "Which is why I'm gonna use a different method on you." "This sword is a great work of art and has the ability to amplify my Nen." "You might say that this is my trump card." "I feel bad about getting a handicap over you, but I heard you were more than a match for the Shadow Beasts, so..." "I'll start here..." "where your Ten has been ruptured." "S-Such incredible mental strength!" "What's supporting his tough body is not his aura." "It's his unbreakable willpower that won't budge, no matter what situation he's in." "He's on a whole other level!" "My body is no good..." "It'll take considerable time to recover." "I ate dinner around 8 p.m." "My stomach tells me it's around midnight." "Work of art, my ass!" "The sword you have there is dull." "You've been able to gouge only about five millimeters so far." "You're wasting your time." "But, you have the right idea." "Even thought it's just 5 millimeters, it's still a scratch." "I will answer your questions." "In exchange, how about we make a deal?" "If you release me immediately, I'll spare your lives." "What was that?" "All I want are the underground auction items." "Since you don't seem to know where they are, I have no business with you." "Wait a minute." "Weren't you the ones who stole the items?" "The vault was empty when we got there." "The Shadow Beasts had taken it all somewhere already." "I guess word hasn't gotten down to the rank and file like you." "I don't believe he's lying to us." "So that deal he offered us wasn't just a bluff?" "!" "He was serious all this time." "Everyone makes mistakes." "We haven't stolen anything yet." "So let my restraints go and turn a blind eye to whatever happens afterwards." "If you do that, I will spare your lives." "What happened to the guests?" "Our colleagues were among them." "Is that so?" "I'm sorry to hear that." "Why did you kill them?" "It was part of the plan." "Tell me, how many people have died because of your selfish plans?" "!" "That's enough, Kurapika." "Since the items from the auction are safe, we have no further use for him." "I'll turn him over to the Community." "We have our mission." "We are to protect the Boss and obtain the items she's looking for." "Your revenge will have to wait." "I'll contact them." "I guess that means our deal is off?" "There was no deal to begin with." "Some muscle-bound idiot was shooting his mouth off all on his own." "This is Dalzollene of the Nostrade family." "We've captured a member of the thieves who attacked the auction." "I'd like to hand him over to your custody." "Really?" "How did you do it, when even the Shadow Beasts failed?" "I'll explain later." "Please, just come over here." "Did you say that the Shadow Beasts failed?" "That's right." "They're dead, all of them." "There, check it out!" "Sorry, Leorio..." "but what you're doing is called Ten." "What?" "!" "Is there more to Nen?" "Oh man, why am I not surprised?" "Seriously, you guys actually mastered this stuff?" "!" "It was a piece of cake, wasn't it, Gon?" "You'll master it in no time, Leorio!" "I hope so." "That's it, I quit!" "Knowing Ten's good enough for me." "I'm taking off." "Where you going?" "I'm just gonna take a walk." "This late at night?" "Yorknew is a city that never sleeps." "Things are just getting started for guys like me." "But kids should be getting to bed already." "Leorio..." "What?" "If you happen to bump into Kurapika, bring him here." "I hear he's busy with some job, but Gon really wants to see him." "A kid like you who still wears shorts shouldn't be bossing me around." "How about, "Please bring him to us, Mr. Leorio," instead of just "bring him," huh?" "You're the one who's acting big." "Aren't you the halfwit who can only master Ten?" "And you shouldn't be so rough with kids." "Right, that is unbecoming of a gentleman like me." "Excuse me." "You kids better be in bed by the time I come back." "I hope he runs into Kurapika." "Yorknew is a lot bigger than Whale Island, you know." "There's no way." "Still, anything's possible." "He'll call sooner or later." "That's why you bought a cell phone and texted him your number, right?" "But anyway, now that Leorio is gone, why don't we check if there's an "exciting" program on cable." "It's one of the things that makes staying in hotel like this fun." "Let's make the most of it!" ""Meet you at the place we agreed upon. ♥"" "The Community's sending some men over soon." "I'll take over here, so you guys take a break." "But just to be on the safe side, let's give him a triple dose of nerve gas." "Leader?" "What is it?" "I have an appointment to meet someone." "May I go out for two hours?" "All right, but make sure you come back in time." "Thank you." "You're early." "You're looking a little pale." "In fact, you look like a different person since six months ago." "Been having a tough time?" "Killua!" "Hey, Killua!" "Did you say something?" "It's getting to the good part." "You should watch it too, Gon." "No, that's okay." "Oh yeah?" "It's pretty sensational." "You guys are still up?" "Leorio." "Welcome back." "So, you didn't see him, after all?" "I just went for a walk." "Right." "But more importantly, Gon, I told you not to stay up late." "Why can't you be more like Killua?" "What?" "!" "When did he..." "Killua, that's dirty!" "You've got arm wrestling to do again tomorrow." "If you don't get enough sleep, it'll be tough." "Good night." "Yeah, good night." "Don't worry." "I don't intend to fight you now." "I don't have time to chit chat." "I want you to tell me what you know about the Phantom Troupe." "I see." "Well then..." "The Spiders are made up of 13 members and each of them has a numbered spider tattooed as proof." "Members can be replaced without notice." "An applicant can defeat a current member to join." "Or in cases when there's a vacancy, the Leader finds someone." "The group mainly steals and kills, though they do some philanthropic work once in a while." "That much I know already." "I joined the Spiders a few years back." "I got in after defeating Number Four..." "My goal is... to fight their leader." "But I haven't had the chance yet." "He's very cautious." "At least two members stay at his side at all times." "And once a job is finished, he vanishes without a trace." "So, here's our conclusion." "Don't you think achieving our goals would be tough alone?" "What are you suggesting?" "Would you like me to tell you what abilities the members have?" "Although, I only know seven of them." "How about we... team up?" "We're in the basement." "You didn't kill him, did you?" "No." "We just used a nerve gas to paralyze him." "Like they say..." "the tailor makes the man." "I couldn't believe my eyes." "How could you let yourself be taken?" "False security is a great destroyer." "Such a cliché." "Want me to sew your mouth shut?" "Thanks, but I'll pass." "Shizuku, do your thing." "Blinky, suck out the poison paralyzing Uvogin's body." "Could it be?" "!" "Sucking complete." "Dammit!" "That damn chain-user!" "I'll pay him back without fail!" "I won't rest until I kill him and all his friends!" "Hold it." "I'm not gonna let you just get out like that." "I'll buy them whatever time I can, even if it's just a minute or thirty seconds..." "It's up to you." "Do you want to work together?" "Or do you want to go it alone?" "Hisoka, I have one question." "Do you know where the Scarlet Eyes are?" "When was the Kurta incident again?" "Five years ago." "Then I'm afraid it happened before I joined them." "The Leader sells everything after first reveling in the spoils." "I assume the Scarlet Eyes were no exception." "I don't know anything beyond that." "But I can tell you one thing..." "Until you squash the head of the spider, it will never stop moving." "Go ahead." "It's me." "Kurapika, bad news!" "Number Eleven of the Troupe escaped!" "What?" "He escaped on his own?" "!" "No, the other members came disguised as men from the Community." "It seems when our leader made the call, they had already been switched." "He's most likely dead." "Seems they escaped." "It's because Uvogin yelled so loudly." "So, he became a shield to let his men escape." "Let's get back." "We've achieved our goal here." "The Shadow Beasts have been disposed of, and we got all the treasure anyway." "It won't do." "Tell Leader that I'm not coming back until I've settled the score with that chain bastard." "We are heading for rendezvous point B." "Please return soon." "Understood." "It seems you have your hands full, so I'll make this short." "I asked you to team up with me, but it's not like we're sharing fate or anything." "It's just a give-and-take based on exchanging info." "And if you happen to find the conditions unacceptable at some point, far be it for me to force your hand." "Easy, right?" "Your answer?" "Tomorrow..." "Same place, same time."

"So what if you were humiliated?" "You are being too hot headed." "Seriously." "What was that?" "Stop that!" "Yorknew City is huge, Uvo." "How do you plan to find that chain-user?" "Well, yeah..." "I, uh..." "I'll look around various places..." "By yourself?" "Shal, could you..." "I guess, it can't be helped." "Hey, hey..." "We haven't decided to let Uvo act on his own yet, you know?" "There's only one way for us to settle this." "Everyone okay with that?" "Heads!" "Tails!" "Heads it is." "That figures." "Enhancers have good instincts too." "Yeah!" "I'll tell Leader what's going on." "But make sure you settle this and return before tomorrow's rendezvous time." "Not one second late." "You're telling me that?" "I'm the most punctual man in the Spiders, you know?" "I'll be taking your car." "Could you drive, Shal?" "Oh, Uvo!" "You better drink some beer soon or those leeches will hatch." "Oh!" "Oh no, that's right!" "We gotta steal beer from somewhere." "All right, let's head back." "No good." "No one's picking up." "Of course not." "He can't be alive." "Not against that monster and those friends he was with." "It's still ringing in my ears..." "His voice as he came up those stairs screaming," ""Where is the chain bastard?" "!"" "We got away just in time." "If we were even 30 seconds slower, we would have been dead too..." "All right, so what's our next move?" "First, we should report to the Boss." "She's just the boss in name..." "She's just a kid, you know?" "She's not the one..." "We have a real boss." "Light Nostrade, that girl's father." "Our actual orders have come from him." "The leader was just passing them on." "But no one knows how to contact him except the leader." "Should we go find his cell phone?" "The Boss should know it." "Yeah, probably." "Seems we still need to report to her." "Boss..." "Boss..." "What time is it?" "Two o'clock in the morning." "What about the auction?" "It was canceled." "Canceled?" "Why?" "The auction hall was attacked by thieves." "Baise, Ivlenkov and Tocino died at their posts." "We've also lost contact with the leader." "He's probably dead too." "What?" "!" "But what about my mummy?" "!" "Did those thieves steal it too?" "I wanted it so bad!" "Not to worry." "It seems the Community moved all items up for auction to a safe location." "Oh, is that so?" "!" "Thank goodness." "So when's the next auction gonna be?" "There's no plan for an opening yet." "Huh?" "!" "Why not?" "!" "Anyway, we'd be hard pressed to make any move on our own." "Give us your order." "I don't know what to do myself..." "Try asking my dad." "His number's in here." "Squala, you call." "What?" "!" "Why me?" "!" "Because, out of all of us, you've been around the longest." "Yeah, that's true, but..." "I can't!" "I'm not fit to be the leader!" "Besides, I don't wanna get stuck babysitting this spoiled brat." "It ain't worth it." "In any case, at the moment, time is of the essence." "Why don't we settle this with a vote to be fair?" "I'd like to nominate Kurapika." "He single-handedly captured the culprit, and he's demonstrated his ability to use good judgment." "He's the most qualified among us." "No contest." "I second the nomination." "Please, you have to do it." "Then it's unanimous." "All right." "I'll call him as your representative." "But we'll leave the final decision to Mr. Nostrade." "It doesn't seem appropriate for me to call him directly." "Would you please introduce me first?" "Okay!" "Ah, Daddy?" "It's me, Neon." "There's a bit of a problem." "There was a robbery at the auction house, and Dalzollene might have been killed." "To think..." "Here, could you talk to the stand-in?" "To think my chance would come so soon." "Here!" "Hello." "Is it true?" "Is Dalzollene really dead?" "Yes." "He uses Nen, for crying out loud." "You could fire ten bullets at him and he'd walk away unscathed." "It was the Phantom Troupe." "Those..." "Spiders?" "!" "I'm Kurapika, his stand-in..." "Please tell us what we should do next." "First, let me hear your opinion as the stand-in leader." "We should have your daughter leave Yorknew at once." "I'm not confident that we could protect her in the event of unforeseen circumstances." "I agree with your opinion." "But we must consider her will too." "I'd like to respect her wishes as much as possible." "Her safety should be our top priority!" "I'll arrive there tomorrow evening." "I'll have a talk with Neon myself." "Your name is Kurapika, correct?" "Yes." "You'll take over Dalzollene's job, okay?" "Yes, sir." "Your first order is... to keep your eye on Neon until I get there." "Yes, sir..." "Your father will be here by tomorrow evening." "Yeah!" "I'll have him buy me tons of new clothes!" "He wishes for you to stay put in this room until he arrives." "I wanted to go to the casino!" "Boo!" "Mr. Nostrade just requested that I officially take over as the leader and I've accepted." "Now that I've accepted," "I'm going to do everything in my power to complete this mission." "Please lend me your support." "Let's do this together." "Now there's something I need to look into, if you'll excuse me." "Squala, please guard the Boss even more thoroughly than before." "H-Hey!" "Hey!" "Let's play cards!" "Like poker!" "Or maybe we could try gin rummy!" "Here..." "I found it!" "Polio and Company, Ltd. owns the building where you were held captive." "It's a dummy company for the Nostrade family." "Can you figure out what other properties they own here in Yorknew?" "Sure can!" "While we are at it, let's also check if there are any lodging records under their names." "Front desk, how may I help you?" "I want to confirm the name this room is registered under." "If you have enough money, you can access all sorts of information on the Hunter website." "Why don't you get one of these yourself, Uvo?" "Unlike you, I make it my principle not to carry money." "If you want something in life... steal it." "Nice!" "You're an inspiration to thieves everywhere." "Here we go." "They have two other properties besides that building." "Their men are staying at three different hotels." "You can just go to them one-by-one, and you should be able to find this chain-user by the end of the day." "Here's your map." "Go and settle this quick." "I'll stay here and tidy things up." "Thanks, man!" "I owe you one!" "Nasty!" "I don't want your love!" "Just give me money!" "I told you I never carry money on me!" "Uvo!" "Yeah, what?" "!" "Don't let your guard down!" "Sure!" "That chain bastard!" "I won't let him get away from me!" "I'll tear him to pieces!" "Have a look." "What am I looking at?" "This is the website for Pro Hunters, isn't it?" "Yes." "It lists all the properties owned by the Nostrade family." "What did you say?" "!" "Naturally, it also lists information on each member of the family including names and photographs." "Although it seems new hires like us are not on it yet." "This room was reserved in Dalzollene's name." "And his name is on this list too." "All they have to do is cross-reference the list of known family associates and the guest lists of all the hotels in Yorknew." "They'll easily locate this room." "Pro Hunters..." "They are incredible." "So if the enemy checked this site..." "We'd be in big trouble." "Please take the Boss and get another room immediately." "Another room?" "Shouldn't we change hotels?" "Moving to a different room is faster than moving to a new hotel." "However, don't use an alias." "Put the room under Melody's or Basho's name." "We don't need to check out from this room." "Right, I'm on it." "Nobody, including the Boss, should ever leave the room." "But what about you, Kurapika?" "I'm staying here." "Such a clear and steady tune..." "Even when a savage monster is closing in, your heartbeat doesn't even make a ripple." "Let's go do our job." "But..." "As soon as we get to the new room, let's play cards, okay?" "I'll be all right." "I know the strength of my enemy." "I'm not about to die." "I leave the Boss to you." "It's true." "You can't die in vain now." "I believe in you." "Currently, we've got the diamond ring worth 3 million jenny or so, the 2.4 million in savings, and the 2.75 million jenny we've earned from arm wrestling." "That brings us to just over 8 million jenny." "Now, to place an opening bid on the Greed Island game, we need at least 800 million..." "As we thought, it's not an amount we can reach by legit means." "Arm wrestling is legit?" "No way." "Here's where my special secret plan comes in!" "All right, a Conditional Auction for a diamond ring worth 3 million jenny is about to get underway!" "Arm wrestling is your condition!" "The first guy who beats the boy will get the ring." "It's first come, first serve!" "Hold it..." "What is it?" "I thought said you had a solution to our problem." "But this is the exact same thing we did yesterday!" "You think so?" "I know so." "We started out just like this yesterday, and it worked for awhile, but later no one even tried." "And it's the same today..." "This is the kid who beat 500 guys in a row yesterday." "I heard that at least twenty of them came away with their arms broken." "I hear he's a monkey man raised by gorillas." "It sounds like no one's gonna wanna challenge me now." "It's fine." "This is all going exactly as I planned." "Arm wrestling was only a way to lure in the big fish." "Out of my way!" "I'll get him!" "Got one!" "Hey, how am I supposed to wrestle him like this?" "Gon, let's switch places." "I've got this one." "Hey, man..." "I don't wanna make trouble, but that wasn't the deal." "I know." "I'll throw in five million on top of the ring." "You don't have any objections, do you?" "If you can beat me, it's all yours." "Whaddya say?" "Okay..." "Ready..." "Go!" "Anyone else wanna challenge me?" "Thanks a lot, you ruined my business." "Oh well, I guess that's it for today." "You're one tough guy." "I like you." "These two kids behind me are even stronger." "Really..." "If you've got some free time, you should drop by before five." "Well, we caught a fish..." "But how big?" "I'll tell you what I know." "Just don't kill me!" "The guy who caught the thief is not a family member." "He's a bodyguard for the boss's daughter." "Daughter?" "Yeah, she's some kind of freak." "She's into collecting body parts like eyeballs and guts, stuff like that." "Oh, and she tells fortunes." "And they're always right." "She has lots of clients in the Mafia Community." "Even some of the Dons." "I mean, our boss got to where he is because of his daughter's fortunes." "There, now you know everything I know, so you're gonna let me live, right?" "C'mon, please..." "The ability to tell the future..." "Leader was right, after all." "There was no "Judas" among us." "An underground auction?" "It's where the Mafia sells their black market goods." "So the arm wrestling was a sort of publicity stunt, huh?" "Because of the nature of the items they deal with, their bidding amount becomes outrageous." "A few hundred million mean nothing here." "You sure seem to know a lot about this stuff, Leorio." "Were you really studying to become a doctor?" "Never mind." "Oh wow, this crowd wants blood." "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen!" "Let's get tonight's Conditional Auction started!" "The name of the game for this evening is..." "Hide and seek!" "Are we ready?" ""Hide and seek"?" "Oh, thanks." "Thank you." "At this time, I'd like to direct your attention to the photos in your hands." "The seven people pictured there will be your targets this time." "Hey..." "It's that girl." "Yeah, I remember." "I armwrestled against her." "Your bidding condition is to capture the targets and give them to us." "For each target, you will receive a check for two billion jenny!" "Two billion per person?" "!" "If we catch all seven of them, we'd make 12 billion jenny!" "More like 14 billion." "We don't care if you bring in the targets dead or alive!" "Of course, you have the freedom to use whatever method you chose!" "When you have caught one of them, contact the number that's listed on the hand out." "However, the registration fee is five million jenny." "If you're not up to the task, please do return the photos to the staff on your way out!" "Yeah, two billion." "I'm gonna send you the photos right away." "Get as much information as you can online and post an ad offering a reward for any useful leads." "Whaddya say?" "Isn't it obvious?" "We're gonna register for this thing." "I mean, we can make a fortune catching these guys!" "You sure about that?" "What's wrong?" "Are you actually getting cold feet, Killua?" "We've come this far, we can't turn back now." "I knew you'd say that." "Okay." "In for a penny, in for a pound." "Five million jenny..." "We're in!" "Hey, what's the matter with you guys?" "Let's go looking for them already!" "Hold on, Gon." "Didn't you sense there was something wrong about that auction just now?" "Huh?" "Something wrong?" "What do you mean?" "So you didn't get it, after all." "I thought so." "Listen..." "Normally, an auction is a place where you bid for things." "Making the prize a paycheck is strange, no matter how you look at it." "Yeah, I guess you're right." "And why was there a ring in the auction hall?" "I think their original plan was to use that ring for a Conditional Auction like ours." "Oh... really?" "However, something happened that required them to change their plans and look for those guys." "But they were too tough for the Mafia to handle." "Therefore, they decided to make a pretense of a Conditional Auction to gather some men who'd find them for a bounty." "They really want to catch these guys, no matter the cost or time it would take." "How come?" "I don't know that much." "But we could make some good guesses based on how desperate the Mafia is." "Also, factoring in that they could not hold the underground auction just now as they planned..." "The only logical conclusion I can come up with is that they stole the items intended for the underground auction." "Stealing treasures from the Mafia..." "These guys must be crazy." "But we happen to know of crazy guys like that." "The Phantom Troupe..." "There you go." "So these guys are the Phantom Troupe?" "They won't pay two billion each for nothing." "Gon, you should contact Kurapika." "Tell him we got a lead on the Phantom Troupe." "Yeah, good idea." "Alone, huh?" "I'm impressed." "Where do you wanna die?" "I'll let you pick the location." "Some wasteland where we won't cause a disturbance." "I have a feeling your death cry will be pretty loud." "I only have one question for you." "Do you remember the Scarlet Eyes?"

"If things like this are getting around to us," "Kurapika is probably on top of their moves already." "You're probably right." "He got a job as a bodyguard, right?" "Yup." "I bet he's protecting some VIP in the criminal underworld since he's after the Scarlet Eyes." "Then maybe he got dragged into what happened at the underground auction." ""Dragged into" wouldn't be correct in his case." "Since the Phantom Troupe is involved in this, he probably dove in head first." "He'd have some counter-measures." "Who knows, he could've already caught one or two of them by now." "I hope you're right." "My dad..." "He once eliminated one of the Phantom Troupe for a job." "It's one of the rare occasions I heard him complain about a job." "He said it wasn't worth the money." "That is actually the biggest compliment we can give to our targets." "I remember him saying to us," ""Stay away from the Phantom Troupe."" "That was around three years ago, I think." "Did you ever tell Kurapika that story?" "No." "What would be the point?" "So the question is what are the three of us going to do?" "Exactly." "It's two billion jenny per target..." "But they are the Phantom Troupe." "I'm gonna do it." "Because I won't gain anything if I back down." "What?" "You wanna split up and search for them?" "So you got a problem with my strategy or something?" "I'm not saying that." "It's just there's the matter of probability." "We are talking about thieves here." "I don't think it's very likely they'd come out in a crowd when they know the entire Mafia is looking for them." "And moreover, there's no guarantee they are still in Yorknew City." "But you saw it too, right?" "The Hunter website charges 100 million for information on the Spiders." "No way we can afford that!" "And probably the specific information of each member would come with additional fees too." "Won't that leave us with no other choice but to find them on our own?" "Yeah!" "Wait..." "This is Point A. No sign of the target." "How about you?" "It's the same here at Point B. No target in sight." "Killua?" "How about you?" "Yeah... the same." "No sign of the Spiders at all." "Four hours of staking out and nothing to show for it." "Well, we did figure as much." "Maybe we should try searching for them using a grid pattern." "We need a lot more hands to do mass searches like that." "Either way, we need more information..." "You guys had any luck getting a hold of Kurapika?" "Nope." "Seems he's turned his phone off." "Too bad." "He would have had much more information to help us." "That is, if he would wanna tell us anything." "What do you mean?" "Of course, he'd wanna tell us!" "I don't know." "I think he doesn't want our help with this for various reasons." "Otherwise, he would've called us by now." "In any case, for now, let's just try this on our own." "I have a feeling that when we really need Kurapika's help, we'll be able to reach him." "And when he really needs our help, he would call us for sure." "All right then..." "Let's check our Home Codes to see if anyone's left any messages that might give us a lead." "Okay." "Aw man, I think this is it!" "Amazing!" "It's really pure white!" "So all these are eggs?" "That sure is gross!" "I shall have peace of mind at all times." "I shall share my happiness and sadness with all my brethren." "I shall sing eternal praise to the people of Kurta..." "On the Scarlet Eyes, I swear this." "Sorry about the wait." "I have one question." "You are... far more than an average Nen-user." "There's a lot of power in that chain." "I feel an extraordinary will from your Nen." "Who are you?" "In order to answer your question..." "I must ask you something." "Do you remember the ones you've killed?" "I remember some." "If they left some kind of lasting impression, I don't forget them." "It depends on how good they were." "So it's revenge?" "Who are you avenging?" "The Kurta Clan." "Never heard of 'em." "We are a small group of people with the Scarlet Eyes from Lukso Province." "Five years ago, your Troupe attacked us." "Scarlet Eyes?" "What's that?" "Some kind of jewel?" "I'm sorry..." "But I have no recollection of them." "But if it was five years ago, I would've been involved for sure." "Heh, it just doesn't ring a bell right now." "When you kill people who have nothing to do with you..." "What..." "What are you thinking?" "What are you feeling?" "Nothing really." "Scum." "You'll pay for your sins with your life!" "I can't stop killing because I encounter guys like you once in a while." "You know what gives me the most pleasure?" "Taking someone like you who comes for revenge and smacking them down!" "That chain is dangerous!" "I don't know what kind of trick he used... but the amount of Nen infused in that chain is incredible." "The only thing I can do is play offense!" "Did I get you?" "He surprises me." "He still had the energy to strike back after taking that punch." "But his left arm's busted!" "He's not hurt?" "!" "Only Enhancers can reinforce their flesh with enough aura to block my fist!" "Who the hell is this guy?" "A question." "Was that punch..." "the best you could do?" "Don't worry, that was about twenty percent." "Now I'm coming at you with fifty percent!" "Why you..." "You seem to be confident in your agility..." "However—" "I'll regret not using my chain to constrain you while I still had the chance, right?" "Spare me your excuses and come at me with full force." "Don't waste my time!" "All right then..." "Full throttle!" "His aura's gone." "He's using In." "I'll destroy you this time!" "When my Big Bang Impact is at full power, no one can stop it." "Though I have to compliment you." "That was supposed to snap your backbone." "But you were quick to react." "You must've noticed the small changes in the dust out of the corner of your eye." "It seems..." "I underestimated you as well." "I didn't think a fighter like you would remain calm enough in the middle of battle to make full use of In." "However, you're not the only one who can use In." "This chain has been conjured out with my Nen ability." "Therefore, it too can be made invisible using In." "So you've always kept that chain conjured to make it seem like a real chain?" "!" "If I pretend to be a Manipulator with a real chain, the enemy will only watch out for the chain that is visible." "And you've proven that that is, in fact, the case." "The capture is complete." "Has he mastered his abilities as both an Enhancer and a Conjurer to the max?" "It's not possible." "One should be able to achieve 100% mastery only in the type they were born with." "You look confused about this." "As a parting gift, I'll let you in on a secret." "Right now..." "I'm a Specialist." "Kurapika, you..." "Your aura increased exponentially when your eyes became scarlet." "Try the Water Divination again as you are." "It could be..." "I become a Specialist only when my eyes turn scarlet." "Those eyes..." "Now I remember!" "Their eyes turned red when they got mad!" "They were hiding out in some backwoods." "Leader took quite a liking to those eyes." "That was a big job." "They were pretty powerful..." "So you're the last one, eh?" "This is getting me pumped up!" "Let's see what's more powerful, your grudge or my strength." "Come on!" "It's apparent that you were born to be an Enhancer." "That's the limit of your power." "I'll only tell you one more time:" "let it go." "Even if you are successful, you have nothing to gain from it." "You'll only be left with emptiness and blood on your hands." "You don't have the strength to carry that burden." "This is your last chance." "Let it go." "Forget revenge." "Let it go." "It won't break?" "!" "What are you..." "Now, as a Specialist," "I'm able to utilize 100% of all types of Nen." "100% of every type?" "!" "Even my broken arm, by simply enhancing my healing ability, can be fixed." "Those bones that were broken into pieces healed completely?" "!" "This chain, my Chain Jail... strips the Spiders it captures of their freedom and enforces a state of Zetsu upon them." "So that's why I couldn't produce my aura." "Prisoners of the chain can only break it with brute force." "If you, the strongest in the Troupe, are unable to break it..." "Then the others will not be able to either." "Enforced Zetsu!" "This is really dangerous." "Nen draws its energy from aura." "When it's shut off, you have no more power." "An ability to cancel out Nen abilities!" "He thought it all out." "It appears that my Enhanced fist is a little stronger than your unprotected body." "This is precious information." "Now I know I can beat all Troupe members with my bare fists once I capture them." "I'll have you tell me everything you know." "Where are the others?" "Kill me..." "What kind of abilities do they possess?" "Kill me." "It's disgusting." "The noises, the physical contact, the smell of blood..." "It all makes me sick." "How can you do such acts without thinking or feeling anything?" "!" "Answer me!" "Kill me." "This is your last chance." "I've stabbed your heart with the Stake of Retribution." "If you break the rules I set, the chain will activate immediately and crush your heart!" "The rule is you have to answer my questions truthfully." "If you do, I'll let you live a while longer." "Where are the other members?" "Go to hell, you idiot." "It's all right, even if we're a little..." "E-jan chotto ochikon..." "No results." "What?" "Same with me." "No good information left on my Home Code or in my inbox." "No good, huh..." "The two billion jenny reward for each one of the Spiders is appealing, but it's tough to even find them." "You think?" "What you need most in order to find a bounty is a wide network of informants, after all." "That being said, we've already paid the five million jenny." "I don't think there are any other ways to make billions of money." "I doubt if anyone will come forward with information unless we give them some reward." "But when we do that, we get an explosive increase in fake info." "We'll waste so much time just trying to figure them out." "We're not totally out of luck here." "Are you serious, Leorio?" "Yeah." "We are gonna limit our inquiry to decisive information only." "For example, like if they know the current whereabouts of the Troupe." "Oh, yeah..." "We'd still get endless fake information." "And it won't be just the obvious ones, but honest mistakes too." "Regarding that, we can narrow their numbers down by where the witness has seen the Troupe." "We'll intentionally leave out the information on the location." "Then if we get a lead that says they were spotted in Yorknew City, it has a better chance of being accurate." "That's true." "But there's no guarantee that the Troupe is still here." "Yeah, but it's highly likely that they are still around." "Because transportation via land, sea, air, and underground are all under Mafia surveillance." "It'd be impossible for them to get out of here with the stolen goods." "I see your point." "Hey, Killua, the Southernbees Auction starts on the 6th, doesn't it?" "Uh, yeah." "Then we still have three days!" "If we catch even one of them in that time, and if we could get him to tell us where the rest of them are hiding, it's possible to draw them all out." "Whoa, that's uncharacteristically extreme of you, Gon." "For this to work, we'd hafta offer a large reward." "Large reward?" "But all we have left is the diamond worth three million." "On the message boards, there are people offering reliable information for eight million." "Then I say we offer fifteen million!" "Where the heck are we gonna get that kinda money?" "!" "A chain-user, huh?" "He's probably a Manipulator or a Conjurer." "Though Uvogin's strength can dominate just about anyone, someone of that type is likely to beat him in a one-on-one fight." "Conjurers often enhance the items they create with a unique ability." "Depending on the ability, it might cancel out Uvogin's strength." "And a Manipulator holds the danger of manipulating him." "This is what we're going to do." "We'll wait until dawn and if Uvo isn't back by then... we'll change plans." "It can access the Hunter website." "That confirms it's authentic." "With the license as collateral, we can lend you 100 million jenny." "Please repay in full by September 10th." "We won't charge you any interest." "Okay." "Do you know what you are doing?" "!" "You're actually pawning your license!" "But that's because I can't sell it!" "Once it gets out there, you might never get it back, you know!" "Yeah, but a bank would never lend us this much money, and loan sharks would charge us high interest!" "Well then, Master Gon..." "Please sign your name at the bottom." "Yes." "He's serious!" "There!" "Okay." "100 million jenny will be deposited into the account you've designated by this time tomorrow." "Thank you!" "All right, there's definitely no turning back now!" "We're goin' for it!" "Y-Yeah." "Let's go." "This is it, guys, we're taking a big risk!" "So we gotta stay alert!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Gon x Treasure x Dangerous Man!"

"C'mon, that's a no brainer." "Really?" "First up..." "We need to buy the Southernbees Auction House catalog." "Southernbees is Yorknew's leading auction house." "The catalog is the admission ticket and costs 12 million jenny." "Auctions happen over five days from the 6th to the 10th." "But we won't know when specific items will go on the auction block without the catalog." "I see." "C'mon, guys..." "Look up this stuff before you get here." "Welcome to Southernbees." "We'd like to buy a catalog." "We can help you with that." "Right this way, please." "And how will you be paying?" "Via bank transfer." "The kid's paying?" "!" "Here is your catalog." "Inside, you'll find descriptions of all of the items up for auction this year." "Wow, it's thick." "Your catalog comes with a card." "You'll need to show this card to be granted admission." "Up to five people can get in with it from the 6th to the 10th." "But to take part in an auction, you'll have to register the card under one name." "Whose name shall I register it under?" "Gon Freecss!" "Gr..." "Gr..." "Greed Island..." "Here it is!" "That's it all right!" "Greed Island." "The minimum bid is 8.9 billion." "Now we just have to raise the money." "Including the diamond ring, we only have 90 million jenny." "That's all we have to work with." "Don't forget, we still have Leorio's license card." "Hey, now..." "What's up, Gon?" "Mister, how much is..." "If you really want it, write down your offer on a piece of paper." "Lemme guess..." "You're a tourist." "This is a silent auction bazaar." "If you want to buy something, write down what you're willing to pay." "If you really want that, write down your bid." "If no one else tops it, the knife's yours." "Let's see..." "That knife..." "Hey, Leorio, you're good at haggling, aren't you?" "See if you can get that for us." "It could be worth a lot." "Just like I thought, this is the real thing." "Are you gonna tell me what's going on here?" "This is a Ben's knife." "It belonged to Benny Delon." "He was a serial killer about a hundred years ago." "This is one of his original knives." "It's like a collector's item, so it could be worth quite a lot." "So is it worth the 300 jenny we just paid for it?" "Yeah, I'd say it's worth at least five million." "Seriously?" "!" "You mean, you didn't know that?" "Then why'd you bid on it?" "I'm not sure why but when I first saw it," "I had this weird feeling, so I thought I'd try looking at it using Gyo." "That's when I saw a slight aura around it." "Gyo?" "It's another type of Nen." "Basically, you focus your aura through your eyes." "That's it!" "Why didn't I think of it before?" "What?" "A foolproof method to make us a ton of money." "Remember what Wing told us?" "He said when people are really good at what they do, whatever it is, they often use Nen without even knowing it." "If we find something emitting a trace of aura like this, it's highly possible that it was created by somebody incredibly skilled." "I get it!" "So all we have to do is go around to all these vendors and use Gyo to find treasures they think aren't worth anything." "And then we turn around and sell them at a high-class auction." "We'll call our plan..." "Operation Easy Money with Gyo!" "Well, since it seems like I'm not necessary here, huh..." "I'll head back to the hotel and stay on top of everything." "We're gonna hit every market and bazaar in the city!" "Sounds like a plan!" "Go!" "I'd better see if I can learn that Gyo thing too." "Concentrate with Gyo..." "Concentrate..." "Gyo..." "There's one!" "All right, found one!" "Looks like a weird vase to me..." "But it's emitting aura..." "Hey, another bid." "Killua said if there's already a bid, I should raise the price by 250%." "So 250% of 500..." "would be 1750?" "Ah, close enough." "At least we got three of the four items we found with traces of aura..." "Not bad, I guess." "And we would've gotten that weird vase if it wasn't for that Zepile guy." "I know!" "He's so annoying!" "He quadrupled our bids!" "Thanks to him, we spent a lot more money than we had to." "The next thing we have to do is to find out how much they'll sell for." "Yeah." "You're right, these are all quite valuable." "Let's take this painting for example." "It's been signed by the famous artist." "This signature alone is worth 150,000." "And this is also an exquisite piece." "It's in good condition, and the original box and accessories are intact, increasing the value." "This would go for 300,000." "This sculpture on the other hand..." "is worthless I'm afraid." "But how can that be?" "We both saw aura coming from it." "First, the box is clearly not the same age as the statue itself, and second, the carving is rudimentary." "The artist didn't even bother to engrave his name." "I could give you 1,500 jenny for it." "Aw man." "But that's the price of the sculpture itself." "The wood itself is actually very rare." "I know someone who'd be willing to pay about 100,000 for it." "Really?" "!" "Now, here's what I'm gonna do for you boys today..." "If you agree to sell me these other two pieces for 420,000," "I'll give you 80,000 for the wood." "What do you say?" "Trust me, you won't find anyone else who'll give you a deal like that." "We need a minute to talk it over." "No rush, take your time." "But while you're doing that, would you mind if I go check the age of this wood?" "Go ahead!" "So what do you think?" "Stop right there!" "Put that statue back on the counter." "Don't let him fool you, boys." "He was telling the truth about the value of the art and the doll..." "But he's lying to you about the statue." "I don't know who the hell you are... but I never lied to these kids." "Oh yeah?" "!" "That box ain't worth 80,000." "You're just trying to get your hands on what's inside the statue!" "Something's inside?" "Yeah." "It's what's known as a Wooden Vault." "It's sort of like a hidden safe." "If you know what you're looking for, you can see where it opens." "But you're in luck." "It looks like this one's never been opened." "If it's the real deal, it'll be filled with riches." "This guy was gonna take what's inside while pretending to check its age." "N-No, I wasn't!" "Who are you, anyway?" "Zepile?" "!" "Yep." "We had to spend more money because of you!" "Why do we have to give you 20 percent of our profits?" "!" "Aw, don't be like that." "Consider it a consulting fee." "I think I earned it." "That doesn't sound so bad." "He did help us a lot." "Don't be such a pushover, Gon." "We're gonna need all the money we can get, ever single jenny." "The most we're gonna do is pick up the bill for his lunch." "Yeah, that's cool too." "But let me just ask you this one question..." "How'd you appraise those three pieces?" "Appraise?" "What's that?" "You serious?" "!" "You don't even know what that means?" "!" "Then how did you decide on what to buy?" "Was it just random?" "!" "I mean, of all the stuff up for sale, why'd you pick those three items?" "!" "Can I tell him the truth?" "I don't see any harm in it." "I see." "That explains why you didn't know what was inside the Wooden Vault, and why you passed up the chance to bid on other valuable items." "Huh?" "There were others?" "Yeah, like popular watches, some old trading cards..." "Basically anything that wasn't handmade." "Oh, really?" "So, I gotta know, why do you guys wanna make a lot of money?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "!" "I thought you were only gonna ask us one question." "Yeah, yeah, whatever, just tell me." "Okay, let's make a deal and take turns asking each other questions." "Yeah, all right." "We want to bid on a certain item that's up for auction here." "That's why we need the money." "Really?" "What item would that be?" "It's our turn to ask something." "If we wanna sell what's inside that vault, how much do you think we could get for it?" "That all depends on what's inside, but probably at least a hundred million jenny." "A hundred million?" "!" "Now, tell me what you wanna bid on." "A video game called Greed Island." "That way over priced game?" "!" "What about that weird vase of yours?" "How much are you hoping to get for that?" "Oh this?" "This is junk." "It's totally worthless." "Now how come you guys wanna buy an expensive game like that?" "There must be a reason." "I'm looking for my dad." "I think he may have left clues on how to find him in the game." "What kind of clues?" "It's our turn now." "Why would you buy a "totally worthless" vase?" "Our sculpture is worth a million, right?" "You wanted the same things we did." "But instead of going for the most valuable sculpture, you picked a piece of junk." "There must be a reason." "Tell us why." "To tell ya the truth, I made this vase." "Huh?" "I made it, but it's not my original work." "It's a counterfeit." "A knock-off." "I was dirt poor at the time, and I often made these to get by." "But once I started making a decent living, I quit making 'em." "This here was one of the first pieces I ever made." "When I look at them now, I can see how poorly made they are." "Every now and then, I still see one up for sale." "And whenever I do, I buy it." "I get it." "Then how much would the real thing be worth?" "It's my turn." "Tell me, what does your father do for a living?" "He's a Pro Hunter." "Oh, really?" "There are a few Hunters in the antique trade." "How much would the real thing be worth?" "Even the real thing would only be about forty to fifty grand." "So your dad's a Pro Hunter, huh?" "He must travel all over the world." "It's gonna be impossible for a couple of kids like you to track him down." "No, it won't!" "Because I'm a Pro Hunter too!" "Now, it's your turn to ask us something!" "Oh, right." "This'll be my last question." "Can I be of any assistance to you?" "In order to make any decent money at the auctions, you've gotta work with someone who has appraisal experience." "With my help, your chances are a lot better than if you'd do it by yourselves." "Pay me whatever you'd like." "How about it?" "Well, can I ask you one last question?" "What made you decide you wanted to help us all of a sudden?" "Because I appraise for a living." "Aw, who am I kidding?" "The truth is, I was kind of flattered." "It felt nice knowing that someone was bidding on my work, even if it was junk." "It's not junk!" "To put aura into an object takes a lot of concentration and training." "You can tell you put a lot of work into it just from its aura." "You made it without even knowing how to use Nen." "That just shows how talented you are!" "So it's definitely not a piece of junk!" "I don't think I'm mistaken." "If you're in this business long enough, you become a pretty good judge of character." "The appraiser in me is telling me to work with you guys." "And that's... my answer." "Now what's your answer?" "You've got a deal!" "Show us what you've got." "Check out the aura!" "There's no doubt." "These are authentic." "They would bring at least 300 million." "The next thing we have to do is take this stuff to the auction and sell it." "You better not." "Even if you brought it to the auction now, they wouldn't be put up for auction until next year." "You won't make it in time for the auction in three days." "So I suggest we take it to an auction review." "An auction review?" "It's a place where professional antique salesmen go." "These professionals appraise the goods and decide how much they'd pay." "But I'm warning you, a beauty like this could end up undervalued." "I'll take it to the auction review today." "A genuine wooden vault." "The glue used to seal the vault certainly looks vintage." "Yeah, and I don't see any signs of tampering." "It's really popular." "Nope." "Our troubles are about to begin." "I bet this collection's worth a fortune." "I dunno." "Just because the wooden vault seems to be genuine doesn't necessarily mean that the treasure is genuine too." "Here we go..." "Wooden vaults have fooled appraisers before." "There's no guarantee the wood was carved 300 years ago." "And we can't be sure that the jewels are authentic antiques." "You really have to be careful if you wanna buy an item like this." "He's right." "Hey, what's that guy saying?" "He's trying to lower its price." "Basically, he's making false charges." "There's also the possibility that the vault is genuine, but the contents have been replaced." "This tactic is known as a "transplant."" "Both the vault and the contents could be fake as well." "That makes sense." "Don't be impressed by him." "Shouldn't we put a stop to this?" "This is what an auction review is all about." "I mean, it's not exactly the most honorable thing." "Everyone just wants to get the best deal." "However, it wouldn't hurt to put this guy in his place." "And there's the possibility that the wood is from the same era as the jewelry, but it was carved more recently." "Hold on a minute." "That's clearly not the case with this vault." "The glue used to seal it is obviously old." "And who are you?" "I'm an appraiser working for the owners of that item." "I can vouch for its authenticity." "There's no evidence to suggest it's been resealed, and it's entirely authentic." "Oh really?" "The glue used back then only needed to be heated and it would be sealed." "The best forgers would melt the glue and reuse it, which makes the seal look as though it had never been opened." "It's a process known as cauterization." "This guy really knows his stuff." "This is used in appraisal, but it's also used by killers." "If somebody does this, it looks as though it's never been opened." "That's not entirely true." "The cauterization process would've left scorch marks along the seam." "You'd be able to see that the glue had been slightly discolored from the heat." "But take a look and you won't see any of that." "It's the real deal!" "Yeah, you'd think this discoloration is something you could see with your naked eye." "But it is even difficult for professional appraisers!" "Seriously, don't be impressed by him!" "Do you have an official certificate of authenticity?" "No." "You expect us to take you on your word that it's the genuine article?" "Why didn't you get it authenticated?" "Because getting something certified takes too long." "We just didn't have enough time to get it done for this year's auction, that's all." "Well, in that case..." "So there's no way we can be sure it's authentic." "This is no good..." "The others are starting to hesitate." "Hey, mister!" "What other scams are there besides cauterization?" "Wh-What?" "Gon!" "Don't you realize that he's the one who's been trying to sabotage us?" "Why are you..." "Don't worry..." "It's fun!" "It's like he's revealing secrets to a magic trick." "Hey, kid, you're the one who owns this wooden vault?" "Yeah." "So tell me, what are some of the other tricks?" "One's called autopsy." "Autopsy?" "You display both the opened genuine wooden vault and cheap knock-offs of the original treasures." "People might not think they're fake because you have them out there nicely on display." "Oh, so this could be autopsy, right?" "Uh, yeah, I guess so." "What's resealing?" "Resealing is where... you reseal the vault with new glue..." "This kid..." "I couldn't figure out why I found him so intriguing, but now I know why..." "He isn't concerned with whether something's good or bad." "He didn't judge me when I confessed that I made forgeries, or when these dealers started criticizing the item he brought." "He's not looking to place blame on anyone." "He's just curious about everything." "If something impresses him, he's open to it whether it's good or bad." "That means he's dangerous." "You could say we appraisers are deficient compared to him." "All right, what else?" "C'mon, that's enough for now, isn't it?" "!" "So are we gonna be able to sell it or not?" "We won't know 'til the auction starts." "But some of the brokers there today showed some real interest." "If their curiosity piques when the bidding starts tomorrow, the prices could go up fast." "Whatever happens, I learned a lot!" "Tell me about it." "It's like you've totally forgotten what we're trying to do here!" "Cauterization and autopsy, huh." "Actually, there's another foolproof trick." "There is?" "!" "Even the most experienced appraisers who know how to spot the cauterization trick have been fooled by this." "Can you guess how it's done?" "Were they left sealed?" "Yeah." "The fooled appraisers all bought it thinking it had never been cauterized or opened." "And they were right too." "It had never been cauterized." "And they had never been opened, right?" "I know!" "The treasure inside must've been fake all along!" "Wrong." "I got it!" "They removed the original treasure by making another hole!" "Exactly." "They made another hole, away from the seal... replaced the jewelry inside with fakes, and patched up the hole." "This method is known as ostomy." "It's a really simple method, but a lot of veteran appraisers have been fooled." "Ironically, all their years of experience actually work against them." "They assumed that since the glue showed no signs of discoloration, the contents had to be authentic." "That's what did them in." "You never know what tricks they'll come up with next." "Appraisers have to stay one step ahead." "That's why we get suspicious when specimens look too perfect." "Even a little bit of doubt can get blown way out of proportion." "The human mind is a funny thing." "The trick I just told you about proves that." "What an amazing world!" "Gon?" "I found a Spider!" "We even have visual confirmation..." "Two targets." "A guy and a girl." "Hey, you guys!" "What about the auction?" "!" "I'll leave it up to you!" "Just get us the best price!" "All right!" "Leave it to me!" "Those guys are something else!"

"Hi, I'm the one who posted the ad online." "You're late!" "Where are you?" "!" "Not far from you." "In fact, I can see you from where I am." "It's the couple at the table next to you, right?" "There's no mistake." "We're wiring the money now, so please confirm it." "Whoa, it's really there!" "Let's get outta here!" "Let's go!" "But Uvo hasn't come back yet." "Has he ever been late for a meeting?" "Never." "But remember he said, he wouldn't come back until he had settled the score with that chain dude." "You heard him." "That's why I said, "most likely."" "I didn't say he's dead for certain." "Just your hunch?" "Yep." "And your hunches are always right on the money." "I'm going to find him and kill him... without fail." "So here's our problem." "How are we gonna get them?" "It's impossible." "They're way out of our league." "Sheesh!" "How can you say that now?" "!" "Keep it down, they'll see us." "Say something, Gon!" "I also think it would be too hard." "Aw, man." "I really thought I could catch these guys, but I guess I was being too optimistic." "Me too." "My dad warned me about them three years ago, so I thought I could take them on by now..." "They're really that good?" "Well, imagine that there were two Hisokas sitting at that table." "So you understand now?" "You're giving me chills." "Let's just forget about them then!" "That's not it..." "Why do you think those two Spiders came to this place?" "There can only be one explanation..." "They're obviously on a date!" "Eh, they are?" "!" "No!" "That may be what they want everyone to think, but they knew that the couple sitting behind them were informants." "Really?" "Yeah." "They're paying careful attention to their surroundings." "They'll sense us if we get any closer than we already are." "And don't even think about looking directly at them." "At first, I thought they were just being extra cautious because they know that the Mafia's after them." "But that doesn't explain why they'd risk going out in public in the first place." "It's a trap." "They're acting like they don't even know people are hunting them down." "Now I can see why they're called the Spiders." "What they're doing is waiting..." "Waiting for their prey to get caught in their web, and that's when they'll strike." "We're being watched." "And these aren't amateurs." "Right." "I'm not sure where they are, but they've targeted us." "Think it's the chain dude?" "Can't tell." "But if it is him, I'll follow the Leader's orders, and take whatever steps necessary." "I think the Leader is interested in acquiring that guy's ability." "Machi." "All he said was for us to team up to lure out the chain-user and bring him in." "You're not forgetting what's implied in his orders, are you?" "Dead or alive by any means necessary." "That's right." "I don't care how you interpret that." "Just stop telling me what to think." "I was only making an assumption." "You're the one with the agenda around here, not me." "The mood's completely changed." "There's so much tension it's scary." "What?" "Did they see us?" "!" "Don't worry." "They haven't spotted us, yet." "You sure?" "I'm not like you guys, remember?" "I can't use Zetsu or whatever you call it to hide my aura." "This wouldn't be the right place to use it anyway, we'd be too conspicuous." "But as it is, those two aren't paying attention to anyone's aura." "Instead they're observing everyone in this plaza." "Looking for any facial expression, eye movement, or behavior out of place." "And right now, you guys are sticking out like a couple of sore thumbs." "So just relax." "And try to act natural." "How's this?" "Act natural..." "Forget I said anything." "Let's decide right here and now..." "Are we going to bring this chain-user in dead or alive?" "We're sticking to the rules." "Fine." "Heads." "Tails." "Given the circumstances, I'd say you took the appropriate action." "You made my daughter's safety your top priority." "I appreciate that." "Now, I'd like to discuss our next move." "First of all, I'll be sending my daughter back home." "Is that okay, Neon?" "I don't really have a choice, do I?" "The auction's been canceled." "There's no point in being here." "Man, I really wanted to go." "There'll be another auction next year." "There's nothing to be sad about." "I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure those thieves give back all the things you wanted to buy." "Really?" "Have I ever broken a promise before?" "You've broken more than you've kept!" "You got me!" "You're Melody and Basho, correct?" "I'd like the two of you to escort Neon back to the mansion at once." "Since you were seen when that vicious monster was captured, you're not completely safe." "However, you're in a better position than your colleagues whose photos are posted on the Hunter website." "As a precaution, I'd like both of you to put on some kind of disguise." "Neon, think you could pack your things and get ready to go?" "Okay." "I call doubt." "Now then..." "Let's get down to business." "The underground auction will be held according to plan." "Same time, same place." "The Community doesn't really care who's behind all this nonsense, but we will not be made fools of." "The Ten Dons have sworn an oath to reacquire the stolen goods by any means necessary." "Pardon me..." "When we questioned the Phantom Troupe member, he told us they didn't steal the auction goods because the Shadow Beasts had already taken them to another location." "The Shadow Beasts have been annihilated." "Nine bodies have been found so far." "The only one missing is a man called Owl who was in charge of transporting the items." "It seems likely that he's been captured by the Troupe." "The Ten Dons are well aware of the powers of Nen." "Owl wouldn't even need to be tortured if one of the Spiders has the ability to make him confess." "At this point, the Community believes that the items from the auction have fallen into the hands of the Phantom Troupe." "With the loss of the Shadow Beasts, the Ten Dons have hired professionals to eliminate the Phantom Troupe." "Professionals?" "The Mafia uses murder as a means to intimidate its enemies, but it's not necessarily our area of expertise." "When we're faced with a difficult situation like this, it's best if we leave it up to the professionals." "I've been assured that the Ten Dons have given the contract to form a team of the finest assassins." "So we're free to stand back, and let them take care of the problem once and for all." "But this is a chance for our family to provide a service to the Community." "We can't stand by and let the pros get all the credit, now can we?" "That's why I've been thinking, Kurapika." "I want you to join that team." "You're the only one of us who's capable of killing a Spider." "Will you do it?" "They're on the move." "What do we do now?" "And remember..." "There's no way we can beat those guys." "Well, we're not just gonna sit here and let them walk away, are we?" "!" "Right." "We can't turn back now." "Okay, then listen carefully to what I have to say." "Gon and I are gonna follow them." "We've gotta stay hidden from here on out." "We'll use Zetsu." "Whoa!" "They're right here, but I can't feel their presence." "It's like Killua just faded out right in front of me." "Gon, I want you to promise me two things." "First, if they manage to spot either one of us, we'll stop right away, and get away as quickly as possible." "Other than that, if for any reason I decide we should stop tracking them, we abort." "Understand?" "We'll communicate using our cell phones." "I'll ring once for abort, so only answer the phone if I let it ring a second time." "And make sure you put it on vibrate so they won't hear it." "If they happen to split up for any reason, we'll stick with the woman." "Leorio, I want you to get in touch with Zepile and make sure everything's on track at the auction." "You got it." "Looks like I won't get to be a part of the action this time around." "Be careful, you guys." "Staying alive is what matters most." "Hey, you don't happen to have any tracking experience, do you?" "Well, I tracked Hisoka during the Hunter Exam." "For real?" "And you weren't spotted?" "Nope." "I probably followed him for a whole day." "Whoa!" "That's pretty good!" "Hisoka even complimented me." "He said that I was like a stealthy animal." "You're really a natural, Gon!" "I guess so." "Why did you hit me?" "No reason, I just felt like it." "All right, I guess you're qualified then." "Just remember to never enter their field of vision." "Okay, let's go." "I believe in you guys..." "I'll be waiting." "Gon, Killua." "The targets are exiting the plaza into an alley." "Okay, roger that." "Do you think they're on to us?" "No, we're fine." "As long as we're using Zetsu, they won't spot us." "But they're expecting to be followed, so be careful." "I will." "He sure is being casual about this." "It's all over for us if we're discovered." "I'm wearing down on my nerves looking for any little change in their behavior." "But we're okay so far." "If they thought they were being followed, their body language would've betrayed them by now." "No matter how good they are, there are some things they just can't hide." "It could be a slight hesitation, or some awkwardness in the way they walk." "Of course, it would be almost imperceptible." "It's something that most people couldn't even detect." "But I've been playing these life or death shadow games since I was three years old." "I would know it if their heart skipped a beat... and I'd never miss it." "Think we're being followed?" "Oh, I don't know, probably." "They're pretty impressive." "They must have perfect Zetsu because I haven't detected them yet." "In that case, they must be very well trained." "Uh oh." "They're heading into more and more deserted areas." "Maybe they've figured out they're being followed." "Is this a trap?" "No." "They still don't know we're here." "Or maybe they haven't detected us and they're heading to their hideout." "If they are, then we're in business." "So is it a trap or their hideout?" "If it's a trap, we'll bail immediately." "If it's their hideout, then we'll continue following." "I haven't noticed anything unnatural in their behavior so far." "We'll keep going!" "They're not taking the bait." "Then it's probably not the chain-user." "Why's that?" "Because there's more than one of them." "And I'm pretty sure the chain-user works on his own." "Why's that?" "Well, he was hired by the Nostrade family, wasn't he?" "However, when he confronted Uvo, he was probably acting alone." "Because otherwise, the whole Mafia would've made a move against us." "If the Mafia had been involved, they would've used Uvo to set an example." "They would've executed him in retaliation for ruining the reputation of the Community." "And since that didn't happen, I think the chain dude went rogue and killed Uvo on his own without even reporting it to his employer." "So why would somebody who works for the Mafia and has its support decide to act alone?" "It must be a personal vendetta." "You say "must be" and "probably" too much." "Oh, shut up." "It seems improbable that someone who wouldn't work under the authority of the Mafia would work with a partner." "And that's why I believe the chain-user's on his own, which means that whoever's following us isn't connected to him." "Your theory is full of holes." "All right, then why don't you tell me what you think." "Well, I've got another hunch." "I think they're still somehow related to the chain dude." "A hunch?" "Yes, a hunch." "I've had it with you!" "I don't need you telling me what's wrong with my theories." "What do you think, Killua?" "They're either waiting for someone, or they're trying to draw us out." "U-Us?" "Do you think they've discovered we're following them?" "There's a fifty-fifty chance." "But they don't know where we are." "If they're trying to wait us out, they're acting as though nothing's wrong, hoping that we'll give away our position." "So now what?" "For now, let's just sit tight." "Who knows, maybe they are just waiting for somebody." "Gon!" "I'm gonna hang up, so listen carefully!" "If either of us sees anything suspicious we don't even question it, just get out of here!" "The next time you hear your phone ring, just run." "You got that?" "It's Nobunaga." "Hey, it's me." "Yeah, what do you want?" "I was just calling to see how you guys are doing." "Well, we're being followed, but they haven't made a move." "So far we haven't been able to figure out where they are... so it still could be a while." "I hate it when that happens." "Sounds to me like you could use a little good news." "Huh?" ""Good news"?" "What's going on?" "He stopped me so easily!" "Hey, Phinks..." "Why are you here?" "I thought you were out with the Leader." "But we're on the fourth floor!" "Like they say, deceive your allies to deceive your enemies." "We wanted you to behave as usual." "It was all the Leader's idea." "Oh man!" "That guy gets me every time!" "I should've known because all the Zetsu masters I sensed lurking around." "A double trail?" "Even this guy and that girl didn't notice them!" "They've got us!" "So, kiddo, I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask you." "Well, well..." "Seems like we've finally got..." "the shadow of the chain-user." "Killua, we're caught in their web!" "How are we gonna break free?" "!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Nest of Spiders x Captive x Killing Technique!"

"I just need a split second of an opening to get away." "What do you think?" "I don't know." "If he's playing dumb, then he's awfully good at it." "I'd better make sure." "First question." "Why were you following us?" "And keep your answers short." "I guess a half-baked lie isn't going to work." "The Mafia put a huge bounty on your heads." "A bunch of websites are offering a reward just for your whereabouts." "Second question." "Who taught you how to shadow?" "We weren't exactly "shadowing" you." "We were just using a Nen technique called Zetsu, which shuts off your aura." "I'm training to become a professional Hunter." "Who taught you?" "An assistant master of Shingen Ryu." "Third question." "Do you know of a Nen-user whose weapon is a chain?" "A chain?" "He's either a Conjurer or a Manipulator." "Maybe you could tell us if your master wears a chain around his right hand?" "I don't know him." "My master is an Enhancer, and all he ever taught me were the four basic exercises." "All right." "You obviously can't tell us what you don't know." "I just have one last question." "You get two choices, so think very carefully before you answer." "Would you rather die now, or later?" "It's your choice." "You have three seconds to answer." "It's no use." "Don't even bother trying." "Yes." "Okay, I understand." "We'll be right there." "Well, little boy." "Your friend surrendered without putting up a fight." "Is it okay that they're showing us all this?" "Welcome to our hideout." "Better play dumb." "So, Hisoka is a Spider, after all." "Well, he's taken a liking to Gon, so there's a chance he might help us." "But I'm not gonna let on that I know him." "Oops." "What is it?" "Is there someone here that you recognize?" "Well, no, not really." "Yeah, there is!" "It's that girl from before!" "Is this true, Shizuku?" "Do you know them?" "Nope." "I've never seen them." "Oh, I remember." "He's the kid who arm wrestled." "What are you talking about?" "You arm wrestled him a couple of days ago and lost." "Don't bother." "Shizuku has no memory of things she forgets." "You're lying!" "I may not be the strongest here, but I wouldn't lose to a kid!" "Well, at the time you were using your right hand." "But why would I do that?" "I'm left handed!" "Ah, never mind." "I must be thinking of something else." "Obviously." "Wow." "Did you really beat Shizuku in arm wrestling?" "Uh huh." "I can't believe she was a member of the Phantom Troupe!" "All right." "I'm gonna take you on." "One more time." "Ready..." "Go!" "One more time." "Ready..." "Go!" "Hey, in terms of arm wrestling, where would you say I rank among the Spiders." "Probably around seventh or eighth." "You're not weak, but you're not one of the strongest either." "Yeah, well..." "The strongest arm wrestler among us was a guy known as Uvogin." "But it seems he was killed by the chain dude." "How many times do we have to tell you, we don't know who he is!" "Listen, kid!" "The next time you speak without permission..." "I'm gonna hurt you!" "One more time." "Uvo was your typical Enhancer." "A very simple-minded guy." "But he was a real stickler about time." "He used to slap Franklin and me around whenever we were late." "I could never beat him in a fistfight." "We've known each other since before the Phantom Troupe was started." "I'm closer to him than anyone here." "H-He never... would've..." "He never, ever would've lost a fair fight!" "That chain-user must've ambushed him or something!" "I won't let him get away with it!" "I'll find him no matter how many people I have to kill!" "This chain-user obviously has a big grudge against us." "All we really know is that he was recently hired by the Mafia's Nostrade family." "A grudge against the Troupe..." "Recently hired..." "No, it can't be!" "You might not know him personally, but maybe you've got some info on him." "Think about it real hard." "Don't hold back, tell us everything you know right now." "I don't know anything." "And even if I did, I'd never tell you guys." "You cry for your friends, huh?" "I thought you guys neither bled nor cried." "So how come you didn't have any of this compassion... even just a little bit... for all those countless people you hurt and killed?" "!" "You!" "Too cocky." "Gon!" "Move... and I'll kill you." "Answer question." "You know chain dude or not?" "Like I just said..." "I don't have a thing to tell you guys!" "Feitan." "Don't do it." "Don't do what?" "The thing you were just about to do." "You know what I do?" "You were going to break his arm, right?" "First, his fingers." "I rip nail off." "I don't care what it was, just don't do it." "Why you give me orders?" "I no need to obey." "Take it easy, Nobunaga." "I hope you haven't forgotten the rules." "No fighting with other members." "Yeah, I know that." "We settle our disputes with the coin." "Tail." "Heads." "Heads it is." "Let him go, Feitan." "So what do you think we should do with them then?" "They haven't given us any useful information on the chain-user." "If they don't know anything, we might as well let them go." "What do you think, Pakunoda?" "I checked them out thoroughly on the way over here." "And as far as I can tell, neither one of them knows anything." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "They have no memory of the chain-user." "I guess your hunch was wrong for once." "That's odd." "But if Pakunoda says so, then I guess that's how it is." "Gon, did they do anything to you on the ride over here?" "Not really." "They just asked me a few questions, that's all." "Yeah, same here." "She examined us without us even knowing it?" "But how did she do it?" "From the looks of it, they seem to trust Pakunoda's analysis completely." "She has something beyond just a hunch." "What did she do to us?" "They have no memory of the chain dude." ""Memory"?" "Memory!" "But how could she know?" "What about you?" "Do you have any information on a Nen-user who walks around with a chain?" "She has the ability to read memories just by touching a person!" "If that's true, we're definitely in trouble!" "I didn't know who the chain-user was then... but now I've figured it out." "If she checks me again, we're doomed." "Since they're not related to the chain-user, we might as well let them go." "Yeah, no point in keeping them around." "Wait, we can't be sure." "Someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes." "I don't think we should release them until after we figure out who they get their orders from." "But even if these two are working for someone, it's not the chain-user." "I think that guy works alone anyway." "So you and Nobunaga are on the same page, then." "He can get all the information he wants through the Nostrade family." "Yeah, that's a good point." "Our objective is to find the chain-user, so let's not concern ourselves with anyone else." "Hear that?" "Good for you." "You go home now." "No." "They aren't going anywhere." "Hey, kid..." "Join the Spiders." "No way." "We could be partners." "I'd rather die than be one of you!" "You hate us that much?" "You're an Enhancer, aren't you?" "So what if I am?" "I just had a feeling you might be." "I'll keep them here until the Leader gets back." "I'm going to recommend him for membership." "You can't be serious." "Leader never go for it." "Do whatever you want." "But it's not gonna be our problem if they manage to escape." "Yeah, you can babysit them by yourself." "Why aren't the Mafia still chasing us?" "Yeah, we should've seen them by now since we've been moving around quite a bit." "Are two kids really all we have to show for a day's work?" "Maybe the Mafia gave up." "No, they wouldn't give up that easily." "They're probably just preparing the next phase of their operation." "Then we should change our plans too." "We were going to get information out of the Mafia by using the chain-user as bait." "In that case, I suggest we start going after them." "I've printed off a list from the Hunter website which has photos of Nostrade's employees that we should all take a good look at." "Especially important are the five people on the first page." "Apparently, they have been working as bodyguards for the boss's daughter." "His daughter?" "These are the guys who kidnapped Uvo." "Although, he said none of them were the chain-user." "Hisoka!" "No thanks." "What?" "Well, you just said the chain-user's not on the list." "So why would I need photos of five people I'm not looking for?" "Yeah, but you never know." "Just forget it." "If he says he doesn't want it, then don't bother." "She's right." "And by the way, you should cross out a few of these guys." "Uvo already killed them." "I'm just saying that since we don't know the identity of the chain-user, we have to try and find someone who does." "Let's work together in pairs to find at least one person on this list." "We'll meet back here at ten o'clock tonight, okay?" "Hang on." "Nobunaga's staying here to babysit." "So who am I with?" "Well, that leaves ten of us, so just partner up with the odd man out." "Odd man out?" "Hi!" "This really hurts!" "Hey..." "You know who this arm wrestling kid is, don't you?" "And if you do, why do you act like you don't?" "That was stupid of me." "If I had made any sort of move," "Hisoka would've killed me in a second." "I couldn't move back there." "If they were going to kill Gon, could I have stopped them?" "You couldn't have." "It would've been impossible." "No." "All that matters is can you kill your opponent?" "No." "If you know you can't..." "No..." "Then simply don't try." "No..." "Never fight a superior enemy, even if it costs you a friend." "Stop it!" "Oh, you're scaring me." "You look like you're all fired up." "I'm warning you..." "Step any closer... and you're dead." "Killua!" "Huh, really?" "You think the kid's like Uvo?" "Yeah." "Both of them don't hold back their feelings." "And when they're mad, they get so single-minded." "And there's something else they have in common." "Their powers are maximized when used for the sake of other people." "Uvo liked to fight one-on-one..." "But he was strongest when he and Nobunaga went up against a crowd." "He was?" "Yeah." "Uvo never would've admitted it, but he always worked better when he had someone to look out for." "So working with someone weaker made him work harder?" "Well, I guess that would be one way of looking at it." "You don't mince words, do you?" "But on the other hand, Nobunaga was actually better at fighting one-on-one." "It is his specialty." "So whenever he had to fight alongside Uvo, they'd start fighting each other." "But that's not to say they were unhappy about it." "It's impossible." "We can't take this guy head on." "We'll have think of another way to get outta here." "There's only one exit." "And only one small window, just to let some light in." "How are we gonna get him away from the door?" "It's getting dark." "It'll be even harder to escape now." "I wonder how things are going with Leorio?" "I hope he was able to find Zepile and get things done." "Hey, Killua, are you all right?" "Yeah." "Oh yeah!" "Do you remember the last trick Zepile told us about?" "It wasn't autopsy or cauterization..." "It was something else." "I don't remember." "Osmosis?" "No, that wasn't it." "It was something else." "Okay, let's see..." "Autopsy is when you have a genuine vault but fake treasure..." "Cauterization was the one where you melt the old glue and..." "Gon..." "I'll be the bait." "While I distract him, you make a run for it." "What are you talking about?" "Don't even bother, it'll never work." "I know you're good enough to recognize the difference in our abilities." "You won't catch me off guard." "That's obvious, I know that." "He's got the only exit covered and has a clear view of the room." "We can't talk or move without him noticing." "He's completely focused." "He's probably a master of iaido, the art of drawing the blade, striking, and re-sheathing in a single motion." "As soon as I move into the reach of his blade, I'm dead for sure." "But that's what gives it meaning." "You can't do it, can you?" "Shut up!" "I won't know until I try." "What are you thinking?" "!" "I'll stop his first strike, even if it kills me." "And that should give you enough time to get outta here." "What the hell was that for?" "!" "Stop thinking only about yourself!" "Huh?" "!" "You shouldn't talk about dying so lightly!" "Are you serious?" "!" "You were talking like that earlier today when you said you'd rather die than become one of the Spiders!" "I can talk like that, but you can't!" "If we're not prepared to die, we'll never get out of here, you idiot!" "So don't start telling me what I should and shouldn't do!" "That's right, I'm the idiot, and you know everything!" "You're wasting your time if you expect an Enhancer to listen to reason." "You guys crack me up." "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." "Just sit tight..." "I know you're serious." "You don't have to prove anything." "We'll sort this all out when the Leader returns." "Then, if he doesn't think you're Spider material, we'll let you go." "But try to escape and I'll cut you open." "So don't make me draw my sword... or else you'll be killed." "Oh, I remember now!" "Ostomy!" "Ostomy!" "Cauterization, autopsy, and the third one was ostomy!" "You know!" "You're the one who figured out how it was done, remember?" "!" "Osto... my?" "Remember now?" "Yeah!" "That!" "I remember!" "I remember!" "I know!" "I can't believe it took us so long to come up with it!" "Now that we got ourselves a plan!" "Let's go!" "Are you sure?" "!" "You'll only get yourselves killed." "Because when I'm in a fight, I don't show mercy or hold back." "You fools!" "They're smashing through the wall!" "When the exit's blocked open another hole!" "Killua, let's knock that knot off his head!" "Next time on Hunter x Hunter:" "Kurapika x Assassination Team x Zoldyck!" "Hey, Nobunaga!"

"Now I'll just corner one of them in here and..." "Smashed through to the next room, huh?" "!" "And through there too." "The light haired kid's gone down the stairs." "I guess I'll go after the other one." "What, another wall?" "!" "Where'd he go?" "Maybe he's using Zetsu." "Killua!" "Are you there?" "!" "Yeah, over here!" "How'd he get back there?" "!" "Right..." "That last hole must've been a decoy." "He broke through the wall, then doubled back and hid, so I'd run right past him." "Damn these brats!" "It's time we take this guy down, okay?" "!" "Their auras are gone." "They must be planning to jump me from the shadows..." "Fools." "En is an advanced application of Ten and Ren." "Usually the aura that envelops the body can be expanded to as big a space as the user wishes." "En expands that layer and lets me feel any movement around me." "A true master can detect something fifty meters away." "I can make the layer around me expand to the striking range of my sword." "But that's all I need." "If anyone enters within my range, I'll sense him..." "And kill him!" "I'm ready for you." "Moron!" "I can't believe he actually fell for that!" "Have fun standing there all night by yourself, you knot head!" "But you know I really would've liked to give him a beating!" "Forget it, there's no way." "He would've killed both of us before we could even touch him." "You sure?" "Yeah." "We only know the basics of Nen." "We wouldn't stand a chance." "What's with you?" "Now you're back to talking like the Killua I know." "You know, my job is to be the one who says all the crazy stuff, and your job is to keep me cool." "That's what I need you for." "Yeah, whatever you say." "So, what's the plan?" "Well, I guess that all depends on what we wanna do." "What do you wanna do?" "I wanna kick their butts!" "Yeah, I figured." "That's actually not so different from our original plan." "Three of 'em are worth six billion in bounty money." "But if we wanna do that, we've gotta refine our Nen first." "Their abilities are way beyond ours." "Somehow we have to figure out how to compete at their level." "The quickest and easiest way to find out would be to ask Kurapika." "Huh?" "Why?" "Because the chain dude those guys were talking... is Kurapika." "What?" "You mean you hadn't figured that out, yet?" "He's the one?" "So that means he killed a member of the Phantom Troupe?" "That's what it sounds like, yeah." "Although I don't know how he could've done it." "I guess we'll know for sure when we see him." "If he really did do it, we have a chance too." "After all, we learned Nen about the same time he did." "What we have to do is develop the unique abilities we were born with." "We're going to need that power..." "No, we're going to need more power than they've got to go against them." "Right now, Kurapika's the only one who knows how to help us." "Yeah." "I would've never made it this far without your help." "Now let's both become Hunters, all right?" "Let's go find Kurapika." "Looks like everyone's here now." "Now then, you've been hired by the Ten Don's to carry out one order..." "And that is to eliminate all members of the Phantom Troupe." "They might make an appearance at the auction tonight, which is being held in the Cemetery Building." "You will provide security, and if any of them appear, kill them." "How you do so is entirely up to you, so use whatever method you want." "There's only one thing that matters to us and that is getting the job done." "If you need anything, now's the time to ask us." "Could I get a detailed floor plan of the entire building?" "A map of the area would help too." "We should probably have code names for each other." "Let's just use colors." "I'll be Yellow." "All right, I'll be Blue." "Then I'll be Red." "We're not playing some child's board game here..." "Huh?" "Do you have something to say?" "Who are you?" "I'm Silva." "And I'm Zeno." "Silver and Zeno?" "What kind of color is Zeno?" "They're not colors, they're our real names." "Call us whatever you want, but we don't take orders from anyone." "We'll do things our way." "Silva and Zeno..." "Don't tell me you're from the Zoldyck family." "We are." "What?" "The Zoldyck family?" "!" "You mean the legendary assassins that no one's ever seen?" "!" "Gee, it's not like we hide out all day and only go out in disguise." "So Zoldyck isn't an code name, but your real name?" "That's right." "I'll give you our business card if you want." "It has our home address and phone number." "If you want someone killed, just give us a call." "We'll even give you a 30% discount." "So, they're Killua's family..." "I see." "They're definitely scarier than the others." "It's not that the rest of them aren't capable assassins..." "But they're clearly intimidated by the superiority of the Zoldycks." "The only ones who can compare to them... are these two." "Who cares about code names?" "It's not like we're really gonna use them." "Most of us work on our own anyway." "I agree." "We all have different styles, different ways of doing things." "And I'm gonna do what I want." "But our target is the Phantom Troupe." "It's too dangerous to go against them alone!" "There's only one sure way to deal with them, and that's to rely on teamwork." "Teamwork, huh." "Hey, what do you think about that?" "Well..." "Forcing people into a team isn't going to do any good." "If anyone needs help, they can use the Community." "I think there will be fewer conflicts if we work on our own." "I know I'll be fine by myself." "Five against four." "That settles it." "If you guys want to form a team, go ahead." "Exactly." "The auction starts at nine o'clock, right?" "That's right." "We'll escort you to the building." "Hey, Nostrade." "How are things going?" "Not too bad." "I can't complain." ""Not too bad," he says!" "You're a big shot now, huh?" "Seems like only yesterday he was leading a gang of two-bit hoodlums." "And now here he is, rubbing shoulders with Capos like us." "By the way, who are your hands, Nostrade?" "Mind if I take a look at 'em?" "My hands?" "Well, I heard you rubbed them together so hard you got burns." "I heard you don't even have fingerprints anymore!" "Guess it's not easy hiding behind your daughter's predictions." "But just be careful though..." "Rub too hard and your hands will burst into flames!" "It's hard watching a man get so jealous." "Zenji!" "Stop!" "Zenji!" "Just what the hell do you think you're doing?" "!" "Do you know who I am?" "!" "How dare you touch me!" "Take it easy, Zenji." "He's not worth it." "I think you made your point." "Yeah, that's enough." "Nobody actually accepts you!" "You're bleeding." "I'm fine." "Too many men resent my success because they're unaware of their own incompetence." "They have no clue what they're up against." "The most valuable asset in this day and age is information." "And do you know what information people want the most?" "No." "Information... of the future." "I'm talking about precognition." "If you can predict the future with 100% accuracy, you can rule the world." "Becoming one of the Ten Dons is no longer an unattainable dream." "I'm going to keep climbing all the way to the top." "And I'll probably make more enemies along the way." "Kurapika." "Yes?" "I'm prepared to reward your loyalty." "I want you to know that I expect great things from you." "Doubt... doubt... doubt." "Doubt." "You're a liar, Daddy." "Whenever you say the words,"I promise,"" "I know you're lying to me." "Well, fine!" "If you're not gonna take me, I'll go by myself!" "But who knew I would need a pass to get in." "I won't make it in time for the auction!" "Geez..." "What am I to do?" "!" "All right then, you are clear to enter." "So, even the police are cooperating?" "Because it's the Phantom Troupe." "They've established a one kilometer perimeter around the building." "Anybody who tries to breach it will be pumped full of lead." "Hello." "Ah, Kurapika!" "We have a problem!" "The Boss ran away!" "Give me the details." "It looked like she was having fun shopping, so when she went to the restroom, we thought nothing of it." "But she must've had it all planned because she changed her clothes and everything." "Okay..." "I think I know where she's headed." "Really?" "Yes." "Go back to the hotel and wait for us." "Will do." "Basho, Kurapika says he knows where she went and he wants us back at the hotel." "Yeah, all right." "By the way, do you think Kurapika's gonna be okay?" "Well, I think at least my flute calmed him down a little bit." "And how do you think he feels about being an assassin?" "From the sound of his heartbeat when he was asked to join their group," "I could tell he had some reservations about it." "Then why agree to it?" "He's driven by an all-consuming goal that no one could understand." "A goal that he would be willing to sacrifice even his own life." "I think all of the decisions he's making right now are being determined by it." "What a way to live." "I couldn't do it." "I mean is there really anything worth giving your life for?" "It's a sin not to enjoy your life." "But whatever." "To each his own, right?" "We got an idea where the Boss is at, so we'll head back to the hotel." "Okay." "He could be right." "What is it?" "It appears your daughter has run away." "Don't worry, I think she's headed to the same place we are." "The auction!" "Most likely." "She has had her mind set on acquiring the mummy." "She never makes things easy." "We're sorry, the number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable." "Please hang up and try again later." "Damn it, she disconnected her phone." "She won't be able to go." "You can't enter without a valid pass." "Yes, hello, this is Light Nostrade." "I want you to put the cops at every checkpoint on high alert." "If a girl in her late teens tries to enter without a pass, please hold her until I get there." "She's my daughter." "Oh wow!" "This is where they hold the auction!" "Thank you, I was at my wits end when I couldn't enter." "You're welcome." "It is the least I could do, after all, your father's always been good to me." "But don't tell him you got me in." "Yes, of course." "Looks like we still have a little time before the auction gets underway." "Would you like to have a drink while we wait?" "Sure!" "Cheers!" "That tastes so good!" "I was really thirsty from all that running around." "It was that hard, huh?" "Yeah!" "The bodyguards my dad hired never give me any room to breathe!" "But I escaped right before they were gonna put me on an airship back home!" "Really?" "How did you manage to slip away from your bodyguards?" "Well, first I got them to take me shopping before we left, and I bought all this stuff I could use to make a disguise." "Then I went to the bathroom, changed really fast, and then snuck away in a crowd of other girls." "You're lucky you didn't get caught." "I know!" "I was so nervous!" "So, I hear you're good at fortune telling." "I can't quite remember who told me that though." "Yeah, I'm good at that." "Lots of important people ask me to do it." "How accurate are your prophecies?" "They say I'm right 100% of the time!" "Huh?" "What do you mean?" "Aren't you the one who tells them?" "Yeah, but it's automatic, my hand writes the fortunes by itself." "Really... that sounds interesting." "Think you could tell me my fortune too?" "Sure!" "Name:" "Chrollo Lucilfer." "Oh wow, twenty six years old." "You're a lot older than I thought." "Do I look it?" "Not at all." "And you're pretty handsome too!" "But your name's kinda weird." "My friends always call me the "Leader."" "What?" "!" "That's even weirder!" "Okay, here it goes..." "What?" "!" "You let her go?" "!" "Yes, but this was before I got your orders." "She was alone in a taxi, and she didn't have a pass, so I turned her back." "She was mad at first, but eventually she left." "We were just a little bit too late." "All right, then..." "Print out my daughter's picture and give it to every cop in the city!" "And do it now!" "I can find her." "Do you have map of the city?" "All right, there you go." "Can I read it?" "Go ahead." "My fortunes are usually made up of four or five poems." "Each one talks about what will happen every week of whatever month it is, so in this case, the stuff in the first one might've already happened." "Okay." ""A precious moon is lost."" "{\fad(400,550)}A precious moon is lost" "{\fad(400,550)}The others mourn him, with ceremony grand" "{\fad(400,550)}Up to Heaven, the mighty moon of frost rises" "{\fad(400,550)}With a melody of the mourning band" "A precious moon is lost."

"Seek out new friends once in a bind." "Stay in groups if you must journey" "The one most needed, you're sure to find." "Your fortune telling is amazing." "It's very accurate." "Take this first poem..." "No, don't, don't, don't!" "I never read my own prophecies." "I get the feeling they'll be more accurate if I don't get involved." "Fair enough." "E-Excuse me, I'll be right back." "That's the first time I've ever seen a man cry." "Whoa!" "Why is my heart beating so fast?" "It appears as though your daughter is already inside the Cemetery Building." "What the hell?" "!" "Driver, step on it!" "It's almost time, shall we go?" "Yeah." "I'm glad it was you who helped me." "Why?" "Because unlike my dad, you don't seem like the kinda guy who'd lie to me." "Can I ask you something?" "Sure." "A part of my fortune has to do with a requiem for the dead." "Do you believe in an afterlife?" "Hmm..." "I don't really believe in that stuff." "I believe predictions for the future are meant for people who are alive." "Even if you fortune said something like that," "I think it's meant to provide some sort of comfort to you, Chrollo, and not the deceased." "Yes, you're probably right." "Well anyway..." "I'm just repeating something I once heard." "When I was a little kid, I saw this fortune teller on television." "She said that the purpose of fortunes was ultimately to make people happy." "She said that hers often held ominous warnings about what was going to happen..." "To give people the chance to pray and become better people to avoid those bad things." "I was so impressed by how true that sounded that I've wanted to be a fortune teller ever since." "You're not talking about the Galactic Matron?" "Yeah, that's her!" "If I remember correctly, she doesn't believe in an afterlife." "No, she doesn't." "That's kinda why I don't either." "I believe in spirits." "Which is why I want to fulfill my dead friend's wish." "Your dead friend's wish?" "What was it?" "You wanna know?" "Yeah, tell me." "What he wanted... was to wreak havoc." "Miss!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Miss!" "Miss!" "Miss?" "!" "It's time..."

"To wreak havoc." "Are you okay?" "!" "Is there somewhere she can lie down?" "Maybe an empty room?" "!" "All the rooms on the upper floors are open to guests of the auction." "All right, I'll take her there." "Call a doctor immediately!" "This is the North elevator checkpoint." "We need an ambulance down here right away." "Can't do it."

"Hey, rewind that a little bit for me." "Huh, sure." "That's far enough." "That's one of the swiftest blows I've ever seen." "Anyone else would've missed it."

"My daughter's in the hotel, we need to find her right away!" "She's resting in room 501 on the fifth floor." "Okay." "I wonder how she got past security in the first place?" "There's no way she could've gotten her hands on a valid pass!" "Does she know anyone else who might've helped her?" "No, she doesn't." "Other than her fortune telling, she has nothing to do with my business." "I want to check something first." "Okay, I'll be on the fifth floor." "Neon..." "Daughter of the Nostrade family's boss." "There's no way..." "These photos of Basho and Baise must've been posted in the last few hours." "What?" "!" "There's a picture of my daughter on the Hunter website?" "!" "That's probably how they identified her and brought her here." "When I find out who did this, I'll tear them apart!" "Please calm down, sir." "Our priority is your daughter's safety." "Right, of course." "Based on the perpetrator's actions, your daughter's not his primary objective." "He may have only taken her as a hostage to ensure he'd get in this building." "I heard that the person who brought my daughter in was a young man." "In any case, we need to get her out of here before the situation gets any worse." "I've already contacted Melody and the others." "They should be here soon." "Are you sure we can trust them with my daughter's safety?" "I want you to go with them too." "But what about the auction?" "There won't be one." "No?" "!" "Why not?" "Because this place will become a battlefield." "The auction will be canceled again." "That scent..." "I smell it!" "A trail of blood, dripped on purpose... then wiped up." "Barely enough to be detected..." "by a certain breed." "You're the same as me..." "A poisonous assassin!" "Don't worry." "I don't use traps..." "Let's do this... one on one." "Yeah." "That was Leader." "He said, "Come to the Cemetery Building and unleash hell."" "Well, we're already headed in that direction anyway." "What about the others?" "We all think the same thing." "Clean up trash on way to building." "And Leader gave us orders how to do it..." "Very unusual." "What'd he say?" ""Make a big show!"" "Hey!" "Why?" "Why am I still alive?" "!" ""A precious moon is lost."" ""The others mourn him, with ceremony grand."" "This is checkpoint C!" "A white, four-door sedan just broke through the perimeter and is headed toward the Cemetery Building!" "Don't worry." "This is our job from here on." "You guys just stay at your posts, and try to maintain the perimeter." "And make sure you don't let any civilians through, all right?" "Do it." "That's what you get for messing with us!" "When you make out your report, just call it a traffic accident." "Hey, what are you doing here?" "!" "This area's off-limits!" "You've got three seconds to get lost!" "Hey, wait a minute..." "Isn't that small one from the photos?" ""Up to Heaven, the mighty moon of frost rises"" ""With a melody from the mourning band."" "What the hell is this?" "!" "They're called indoor fish." "Nen fish that can only live in a closed room." "They're carnivores, and prefer human flesh." "You don't feel pain and don't bleed, and you can't die until the Nen fish disappear." "Dear Uvo..." "Can you hear this?" "We dedicate this requiem to you." "Nope." "I keep getting a busy signal." "I wonder what's going on over there..." "It looks like they're waging war." "The Spiders!" "I see..." "It's like a battlefield around the building." "The air is filled with heartbeats of terror, anger, and confusion." "I found out who's responsible for this whole mess." "It's a girl with some kinda weird vacuum cleaner and a monster with guns for fingers!" "Did you hear that, Kurapika?" "!" "Yeah..." "I'm positive they're members of the Spiders." "Stick with the plan and protect the Boss." "And whatever you do, do not fight the enemy!" "We understand." "I wouldn't, even if I was ordered to." "Those guys are some kind of killing machines." "Hello?" "Gon, is that you?" "Ah, Leorio?" "!" "Where are you right now?" "Zepile took off, and now I'm at that cafe near the hotel." "What's all the commotion about?" "We think the Spiders are attacking." "I see." "We've been trying to reach Kurapika, but we can't get him." "All right." "I'll meet you in the park by that statue of the goddess." "Okay." "Here I go." "Where are our weapons and men?" "!" "Listen, we have to stop them, no matter what." "Don't let them get close to the building!" "Damn it, they're crazier than I had imagined." "I can't believe there are only ten of them going to war against all of us." "The ambulance is here." "All right, let's go." "Since when did this place become a battlefield?" "Where is this patient?" "!" "Try anything funny and I'll blow your head off." "Follow me." "Hey, what the hell's going on out there?" "!" "The fighting's getting closer!" "Are we having this auction or not?" "!" "Doesn't anyone know anything?" "!" "Everyone in this room is a boss, capo, or some other high ranking Mafia associate." "They're showing their solidarity against the Phantom Troupe's attacks, even though they're well aware of how dangerous it is to be here." "But as expected, panic is starting to set in." "The auction organizers won't be able to maintain control of this situation much longer." "Hello." "Ah, Kurapika!" "I've been trying to reach you forever!" "Gon!" "Can you talk right now?" "Sorry, I'm busy." "I'll call you back when I can." "W-Wait!" "I just need a minute, okay?" "I need to tell you one thing." "Me and Killua met the Phantom Troupe." "Well actually, they kinda caught us." "What were you thinking?" "!" "Don't you know how dangerous they are?" "!" "Let me talk." "We know now." "We didn't realize it until we saw them in person." "That's when we knew we weren't strong enough to take them on." "And that's why we need your help, Kurapika." "And maybe we can help you out too!" "This isn't a game." "I won't assist in your suicide." "You don't wanna know where their hideout is then?" "I have my own sources." "We also found out about the abilities of each member." "Forget it!" "Just stay away from them, understand?" "!" "You killed one of them, and they call you the chain-user, right?" "They're dead set on finding you." "Even if you don't consider us friends or equals," "I'm still gonna make you help us out!" "Listen, Kurapika..." "One of the guys in the Phantom Troupe cried in front of us." "He said he could never forgive someone who killed his friend." "Seeing him like that made me feel so angry, I couldn't forgive him." "We wanna stop those guys too." "Please, Kurapika..." "Gimme that!" "Kurapika?" "!" "I'll call you back later." "Kurapika!" "Damn it, he hung up." "Even if you don't consider us friends or equals..." "We wanna stop those guys too." "Gon..." "You have your own objectives." "Don't get involved any further." "He must've turned off his phone." "What do we do now?" "Of course, there's only one thing..." "Are you all right?" "!" "It's over... they're too strong." "We don't stand a chance against them." "You wanna know how strong?" "!" "Let me show you!" "Aw, I guess he's broken." "I'll just have to go find another machine." "What the hell's going on?" "!" "The back up I asked for hasn't come!" "What are they doing?" "How's that possible?" "We were the last ones to leave." "We're approaching the main road to the building." "Wh-What the hell's that?" "!" "This can't be happening." "How can nearly 2000 armed men... have all been wiped out?" "It's me, Bean!" "Put me through to the Dons right away!" "Bring out whoever's in-charge!" "Sorry, but, uh..." "Screw the regulations!" "Do you understand the situation?" "!" "We know about everything." "There are professional assassins in the building!" "I say we handle this ourselves instead of trusting them!" "My name is Zeno Zoldyck." "The legendary assassins?" "The Zoldyck family?" "The Ten Dons hired these monsters?" "!" "Listen to me very closely." "One of your enemies has made it into the building." "Most of the assassins you hired have already been killed." "And even if you were all armed," "I could still kill every single one of you in less than seven seconds." "And these enemies have similar skills." "If you understand, then be quiet and stay here." "Unless of course, you want to die." "How is he?" "The attack from behind was skillful." "And he disappeared in an instant and didn't leave a trace of aura." "I suppose we'll have to use En, even though it's so taxing on the body." "Let's start on the roof and corner him down in the basement." "That would be a radius of almost 100 meters." "You sure you can handle that, Dad?" "Are you stupid?" "If I give my all, I can reach 300 meters." "We really don't get paid enough for these jobs." "Be very careful, Dad." "This guy can steal other people's abilities." "Please, Kurapika!" "You have to listen to what we have to say!" "Next time on the final episode of Hunter x Hunter:" "Kurapika x Friends x End of the Spiders!" "We're gonna see you again, won't we?"

"And from its shape..." "Could it be poisonous?" "Everything okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "No problem, huh?" "It only takes a tenth of a milligram of this toxin to paralyze a whale." "If he can steal abilities..." "then he's a Specialist." "If he could use those abilities himself, he'd truly be a force to be reckoned with." "But the better the skill, the higher the risk." "He wouldn't be able to obtain the ability otherwise." "He'll have to meet four... or maybe as many as five conditions before he can steal our abilities." "Correct." "What a difficult old man." "There's no way he could meet all those conditions while taking both of us on at the same time." "So there's no way he could steal our abilities during combat." "His use of the poison knife is proof of that." "Correct again." "Guess that leaves me no choice." "Silva..." "Cover me." "Once I pin him down, kill him, even if that means you have to kill me too." "I understand." "A Conjurer, huh." "Could be trouble." "Even if it's one of his stolen abilities," "I shouldn't carelessly attack until I know its power." "Or at least that's what I would think if I were only average." "I can tell you're just trying to buy time!" "Oh, I see." "He can trap the abilities of others in that book of his and use them at his own will." "From the way he's trying to close in on me, it seems his power is something he can only invoke in defense or a counterattack." "If that's the case, all we have to do is keep our distance." "When the time's right, we'll strike!" "What a scary old man." "Don't think I'll be able to take him alive." "This guy's pretty impressive." "He's managing to dodge all of Dad's attacks while still keeping an eye on me." "We don't know what he's capable of." "In order to stop him, we may just have to pay with our lives." "Now, Silva, kill him!" "What the hell's going on here?" "It came from downstairs." "Sounds like a pretty big explosion." "I don't know how much more of this I can take!" "Move!" "I'm gonna go take a look around!" "Everyone, please calm down!" "We've just made contact with the Ten Dons." "It's a live video feed, so we can directly talk to them." "Please follow me into the auction hall." "How is everyone doing tonight?" "Sorry we didn't contact you sooner." "Things got pretty chaotic, but there's no need to worry anymore." "In fact, their leader is already dead." "I assure you that it's only a matter of time before the rest are taken care of." "So please, just leave it to the pros and enjoy the auction." "All right, everyone, you heard him." "The Ten Don are expecting you to participate in the auction." "Let's not disappoint them." "Illumi?" "Yeah, where's my client?" "He's right here." "I didn't realize you were fighting..." "Is he still alive?" "Thank goodness." "Give him a message for me." "Tell him we've disposed of the Ten Dons." "And to wire the balance due to the aforementioned account." "Whoo boy..." "Guess we both had a close shave, huh?" "So you're not gonna finish me off?" "As you know, our clients were the Ten Dons." "And now that they're all dead, you're no longer our target." "Really?" "You know you won't get a chance like this ever again." "What do you take us for?" "!" "Do you actually think we do this for fun?" "!" "This is strictly business." "I'm not going to endanger my life if I'm not getting paid for it." "Can I ask you something?" "One on one, you and me, who'd win?" "Me, of course." "Although it's difficult to say if you were really determined." "Insolent brat." "So he saw right through me." "That was tough." "I couldn't steal his ability." "Yes, wait for her at the hospital." "She'll be arriving shortly." "Will she really be safe en route?" "They could've easily take out the ambulance on its way here." "I don't think there's danger of stray bullets anymore." "It's me." "Don't attack the ambulance." "We'll go ahead as planned." "Thank you for your patience." "We'll now get the auction underway!" "Let's have the first item up for bid." "Things got a little hairy there for a while, but at least none of the capos or bosses got hurt." "Guess we did all right." "Oh, hey, thanks." "All right, the next item up for bid... is this solid gold executioner's sword from the Yul National Treasury." "Do we have an opening bid?" "Thirty million." "Fifty million!" "All right, fifty million, going once..." "The next item in our catalog is this Celadon porcelain vase from the Lai Dynasty." "The Celadon vase is this one, right?" "Okay, make us a copy." "Let the bidding start at 100 million!" "The auction's already started?" "Yeah, sounds like the Phantom Troupe's leader got himself killed." "They're hunting for the rest of 'em now." "Those pros are something else!" "So, while you useless guys were fussing around, the Zoldycks were busy taking care of business." "You're no longer needed here." "Why don't you get going to the hospital or your hotel, huh?" "!" "Or maybe you're trying to take credit for other people's work." "Is that it..." "My nose!" "You broke my nose!" "So this is their leader?" "He's just a little punk!" "Don't damage his face any more than it already is." "We'll put his picture up on the internet." "Okay." "We'll be right there." "They found the rest of the bodies!" "There's another one over here!" "That's five in total." "Find out who they are." "Check dental records, DNA, fingerprints, every database there is." "Then I want you to find their parents, siblings, relatives, and friends, and kill every one." "Now everyone, the final item of this year's auction." "Considered to be one of the most beautiful colors in the world, the Scarlet Eyes!" "Since the Kurta Clan has been annihilated, we know that there are only 36 pairs of these eyes in existence." "This exquisite pair has an exceptionally brilliant tone." "Who'll start us off at 100 million jenny?" "!" "I must apologize." "My predictions were wrong." "The leader of the Spiders has been killed, and the auction has gone ahead as planned." "What?" "!" "They're auctioning off the last item as we speak, the Scarlet Eyes." "Do you want me to bid on them?" "Of course!" "Get them, no matter what." "What's your limit?" "There is no limit!" "I don't care what it costs!" "Very well, sir." "All right, the bid is 310 million, going once... 350 million." "351!" "355!" "370!" "371!" "500 million!" "It's up to 500 million!" "Do I hear more?" "One billion!" "What?" "!" "2.9 billion?" "!" "Yes." "I got into a bidding war with the bald man who hit you." "Damn that Zenji!" "That's a lot more than I wanted to pay." "What a greedy pig!" "Well, it doesn't matter." "I can easily earn that back with Neon's fortune telling." "All right, thanks for the update, well done." "It's an investment to move up in the Community." "But as long as I have you, I'll never have a problem making money." "You're my ace in the hole..." "now and forever." "Did you actually think you could get away with this?" "Stop right there!" "Move." "What'd you say?" "!" "You'd better not." "Don't mess... with me." "Kurapika?" "!" "Kurapika!" "Kurapika!" "Kurapika!" "Me and Killua met the Phantom Troupe." "Even if you don't consider us friends or equals..." "One of the guys in the Phantom Troupe cried in front of us." "Seeing him like that made me feel so angry, I couldn't forgive him." "We wanna stop those guys too!" "We don't have to anymore, Gon." "The Spiders are dead... and so is my objective." ""We'll be waiting in Dayroad Park."" "Gon..." "Killua..." "Fuwapika!" "Gon." "Isn't it great?" "!" "Now that the Spiders have all been killed, you can finally do what you've always dreamed of..." "You can go and get them all back!" "The eyes of your people!"
