Kurapika manages to win his trial as well, facing off against a Phantom Troupe imposter in a deathmatch. After some bickering, Gon comes up with a clever solution that allows all five to successfully pass the Third Phase of the Hunter Exam. Gon silencing his presence to stalk Hisoka. The Fourth Phase is a manhunt on Zevil Island , wherein the 25 remaining competitors being required to target and acquire their prey's number badge.
Gon draws Hisoka and is thrilled by the hunt. Thus, Gon spends an entire day and his next morning learning how to hunt through attempting to reel in live prey using his fishing rod. Gon realizes that hunting requires waiting to strike as your prey attacks his own target; he chooses this method to attempt to steal Hisoka's badge. Gon finds the man, naturally silences his presence by slowing his heart rate and stopping his breathing, and lies in wait.
Gon waits until Goz , another applicant, accosts Hisoka for a fight in front of him. He sees it as his chance to put his new skills into practice, but Hisoka refuses to fight the suicidal warrior. Gittarackur suddenly intervenes and kills Goz, his target. Gon watches as Hisoka and Gittarackur have a conversation as if they were friends, the new party giving the magician a badge he took from another applicant.
Night falls and Hisoka resumes stalking for prey, eventually spotting Kurapika and Leorio from a distance; [38] he chooses to pursue them. Gon follows behind Hisoka and realizes that his two new friends are being targeted. Conflicted, Gon initially decides to stick with his plan until he realizes that it would also mean sacrificing his friends, thereafter resolving to help them if the situation took a turn for the worst. The duo manages to negotiate their way out of any danger from Hisoka and Gon continues to watch him.
Hisoka's bloodlust flares overnight and shoots a terrible fear through Gon. It is the first time he ever feels such an ominous aura. The next day, Gon manages to get Hisoka's numbered plate and is temporarily paralyzed when shot by Geretta with a blow dart coated in a muscle relaxant.
Hisoka then kills Geretta, but gives Gon back his plate and then his own. Gon manages to stand to his feet and refuses Hisoka's charity, insisting the magician takes back his plate. The former refuses, punching the latter and declaring that he will not take his badge back until he can retaliate.
Gon spends the night quietly seething over the violation to his pride. During the Fourth Phase's final day, Gon finds Leorio and Kurapika and chooses to help Leorio to acquire his target's badge from Ponzu.
Gon confesses what happened to him and expresses the humiliation and frustration he feels from losing, shedding tears. Kurapika lifts his spirits as the two head towards the Hunter Exam's Final Phase. The Final Phase was a tournament with each of the participants. Gon is outmatched when it comes to combat, [42] but his unwillingness to submit causes Hanzo to forfeit the battle—making Gon the first applicant to pass the th Hunter Exam.
At first, Gon refuses to accept the win, insisting that the two of them he and Hanzo can figure out a way to have a proper match. Hanzo, annoyed, knocks Gon out [43] and the boy does not awake until the Exam has ended. Satotz fills in the details and explains to Gon that only two people did not pass the exam— Bodoro and Killua. It is revealed that Gittarackur is actually an alias for Killua's older brother, Illumi. After reaching the Zoldyck estate, the trio is blocked by the a gate requiring 4 tons of force to open.
Gon then tries to break into the estate on an impulse until he is calmed down by Zebro , the gatekeeper. Zebro introduces the trio to Mike —the trained Zoldyck attack dog—putting great fear into Gon. Zebro takes the trio back to his quarters near Kukuroo Mountain and allows them to weight train under him for two weeks, in order to gain the strength to open the Testing Gate themselves. Ordered never to let anyone pass, she expels intruders through force.
Gon spends the day walking toward her and, consequently, getting walloped by her. His tenacity touches Canary, [48] who wavers and leads the trio to the butlers' quarters in order to meet with Killua. While the trio waits for Killua to arrive, Gotoh, infuriated by the audacity of Gon to try and remove Killua from his family, threatens the lives of the trio and Canary under the guise of a game.
Thanks to some quick thinking and sharp eyesight, Gon is victorious and earns Gotoh's approval. Killua arrives and the reunited four depart from the Republic of Padokea. As the four head to the nearest airport, the four discuss their plans now that the Hunter Exam has ended.
Gon, still angry about his humiliation in the Fourth Phase, wishes to find Hisoka, punch him in the face, and return the badge he was given. Kurapika plans to go to Yorknew City on September 1 st for the Southernpiece Auction due to a tip he received from Hisoka regarding the Phantom Troupe.
Leorio informs the group of his immediate plans to study for his medical school exams. The four vow to reunite in Yorknew City in September and the elder two depart. With Killua as his sole companion, Gon is at a loss as to how to accomplish his immediate goal.
By drawing a line on the ground, Killua shows him the overwhelming power gap between him, Hisoka, and Hanzo, later adding himself at Gon's request. He adds that Gon cannot beat Hisoka by training for a mere six months, which Gon agrees with. Killua suggests training their combat skills and earning money at the Heavens Arena. They spend the last of their money to fly to the city where the building is. Following Killua's suggestion, Gon writes in his form that he has 10 years' worth of combat experience.
Gon is awed by the various matches, and also by the revelation that Killua had already been there and it had taken him two years to reach the th floor.
Gon is called for his match, and Killua tells him to just push the opponent. Although Gon has never really fought before, he finds that his strength has increased considerably after training at Kukuroo Mountain, and he effortlessly pushes his adversary out of bounds, earning the right to go to the 50 th floor. Gon and Killua meet a boy named Zushi, the young student of Shingen-ryu kung fu and the disciple of Wing.
Gon and Zushi are baffled by the prizes awarded at higher floors, and also by Killua having managed to squander the money he won in the past in snacks. Killua and Zushi are called to compete against each other. Gon wins his own match without problems and waits for his friend. Killua explains his belatedness as Zushi being in the possession of a mysterious secret technique whose ominous vibrations reminded him of his brother. The technique, which his teacher called "Ren", made him more resilient against his attacks, which should have knocked him out.
He then states he wants to go all the way to the top floor, which was Gon's intention from the start. The two-win four more matches and earn the right to a room, having reached the th floor. Killua warns Gon that the caliber of their opponents will increase, but Gon effortlessly makes it to the th floor.
After cashing in his prize, Gon brings up Zushi and Ren and suggests asking the former about the technique. His explanation, however, is unintelligible to them. When Wing shows up, Killua convinces him to explain it to them. The four relocate to his hotel room. He proceeds to illustrate the Nen of the Flame to them.
He first calmly states he will kill Killua, then repeats his utterance after performing the four steps, which causes Killua to leap away and Gon to shiver with fear. The two leave, but Killua tells Gon that Wing lied to them and that no mental technique could have allowed Zushi to survive a strike that should have been lethal. When they reach the th floor, they find themselves unable to walk down the hallway to registration, as an intense bloodlust stops them in their tracks.
Gon wonders if the one responsible is the floor's clerk until Hisoka reveals himself. He explains he tracked them through the internet and warns them they are not ready for the th floor. He waves his hand, and they are again struck with dread, unable to advance.
Wing tells them that they cannot overcome his Nen through effort alone without dying and decides to train them. Gon asks the clerk what will happen if they are not back by midnight, which in his case would result in starting over on the first floor, whereas in Killua's in a permanent ban.
Back in Wing's hotel room, he demonstrates a non-hostile Ren, which they manage to sense faintly. After he teaches them about the true Nen — a skill utilizing the technician's life energy for combat - they are shocked to see him crack a wall just by laying his hand on it.
Wing then proposes to forcefully open their Aura Nodes through an injection of Hatsu , specifying it is a dangerous method. Gon, however, is confident they can rely on him. He removes his jacket as instructed and can feel Wing's aura as a hot force pushing against him. When Wing jolts his and Killua's Aura Nodes open, they see their aura gushing out, which a shocked Gon likens to steam from a kettle. They follow Wing's instructions and quickly learn to contain their aura via Ten , causing Wing to recognize their immense talent.
He tests them by sending a wave of his Ren , and, when they manage to walk against it, they return to the th floor registration. They make it across Hisoka's own Nen barrier. Gon confirms that he has come to the Heavens Arena to train to defeat the magician, who states he is not ready to face him yet.
He agrees to duel Gon if he can win a match on the th floor. After the clerk excitedly explains to them the rules of that floor and above, their lack of response to her enthusiasm irritating her, Gon decides to register for a match right away.
Killua warns him that the three fighters from before are trying to find out when he wants to fight, and he lets them choose. The pair walk to their rooms, where they find out Gon will fight the following day, March 11 th. Gon is thrilled at the prospect of fighting, and although he does not expect to win, he is ecstatic he can train his new power. The following afternoon, he faces off against Gido, who surrounds him with spinning tops enhanced with aura.
They bonce off against one another and hit him in the back, which to the boy feels as though someone had struck him with a sledgehammer. After taking several hits, Gon closes his eyes and tries to sense them by their aura, but this causes his Ten to fade. Another top strikes him and he bounces off the ring. From a top that spins harmlessly next to him and the referee's unwillingness to step on the ring, Gon deduces the tops are not targeting him specifically, but, like "sumo tops", simply ram into anything nearby.
He rushes Gido and attempts to kick him, but his opponent starts spinning and sends him crashing into a wall. One point short of losing, Gon goes over his options. He decides to deactivate Ten and focus his senses on the tops completely, ignoring Killua's protests. Without his awareness, he has entered a state of Zetsu , one of the Four Major Principles he naturally learned during the Fourth Phase of the Hunter Exam.
At one point, however, he finds himself completely surrounded. A single top hits him, breaking his arm and a few ribs. Even in those dire circumstances, he feels electrified from the risk.
Back in his room, he apologizes to Killua, who scolds him for his carelessness, and to Wing. The teacher slaps him, appalled by his actions but ultimately relieved he survived. Gon apologizes again, but Wing forbids him to study Nen or fight for two months, the supposed time of his convalescence which Killua halved. Gon promises to respect his prohibition, and ties a string around his little finger. When Killua and Wing leave the room, Gon performs the Ten of the Flame, meditating on Ging's abandonment and Kite's revelation that he is still alive.
Killua shows him the tickets for one of Hisoka's matches. He reveals to Gon that he never lost whenever he fought, that he only ever lost 4 points, and that he is considered to be on par with the Floor Masters.
Gon proclaims he is worried, but his expression betrays his excitement. Just as he wonders if Wing will let him spectate the match, the teacher appears behind him, forbidding him to go. To himself, he notes that the Ten of the Flame has made Gon's and Killua's aura flows tranquil and smooth. Killua laments wasting his money on Gon's ticket, causing the boy to silently remark he is a millionaire. Back in his room, Gon, swallowing the temptation, turns off the TV.
At the end of the month, Wing allows Gon and Killua to train along with Zushi. Gon admits that it was hard to keep his promise, but looking at the string calmed him.
He is taken aback by the teacher's joke that it was due to his Nen. Asked to use Ten, Gon worries that he may have forgotten how. His fear, however, is unfounded, as his flow is smoother and more powerful than before, which is due to his meditation exercises.
Looking at the string, he notices it is broken and that there are markings on it. Wing authorizes Gon to watch the tape of Hisoka's match. The three students are unable to see the strands of aura attached to his arm. Wing tells Gon and Killua to register for a fight on the last available day so they can practice Gyo.
On their way to their rooms, the three disciples feel Gido's, Riehlvelt's, and Sadaso's aura. The three insist on fighting them to score easy victories. When Sadaso demonstrates his Nen ability , Gon tells him he cannot fight before June 10 th. When Sadaso objects that his own deadline is May 29 th , Killua retorts they do not care and the three leave, but not before Sadaso ominously assures Gon the two of them will fight. They train their Ren in Killua's room, with Gon commenting his and Killua's are not as powerful as Zushi's.
Later that evening, Gido blackmails Gon into fighting them by telling him they have kidnapped Zushi, leaving one of the boy's shoes in front of his door as proof. Gon registers for the fights.
The following day, he manages to see Hisoka's aura, but fails to figure out its properties. From Killua's request to fight on May 29 th , Gon surmises he was blackmailed too. After the lecture, he states he does not mind losing on purpose but is concerned the rookie crushers may threaten Zushi again.
Killua tells him not to worry. He scares Sadaso into withdrawing, giving Gon and himself one win by default, and Gido and Riehlvelt into playing by the rules. Training resumes as normal until the day of the match when Gon tells Wing he intends to use his fishing rod. He charges at Gido as soon as the match begins, but his opponent starts spinning right off the bat. He launches his tops at Gon with Shotgun Blues , who, to inflict greater psychological damage, obliterates them with Ren instead of swatting them down.
He tries to hook Gido with the fishing rod, and, when this fails, flips over the floor tile he is spinning on. Gon is immediately on Gido and snaps his peg leg with a punch, admonishing his opponent that the next time he threatens Zushi he will hit him in the face. Gon is declared the victor of the match. He later congratulates Killua on his victory against Riehlvelt, stating he came up with a plan to counter the electric whips. He faces off against Riehlvelt bare-handed, who pulls out his whips from the start.
Gon hurls a floor tile at him, leaving him a way out so he can jump him right after he propels himself with Aura Burst. He breaks both of his wrists and ties the two whips around his opponent's neck, then pretends to turn them up to max and switch them on. Riehlvelt faints from fright.
As Gon walks out of the arena, victorious, Hisoka tells him to choose the date and place of their duel. Through Water Divination , Gon is revealed to be an Enhancer. He phones Hisoka and they schedule their fight for July 10 th at the Heavens Arena. After one month of practicing Hatsu, Gon's improvement is such that Wing asserts he passed the secret Hunter Exam , which requires Hunter to know Nen. Gon enquires about the progress of the examinees who passed along with him, and Wing tells him.
On the day of the match, Gon fearlessly rushes at Hisoka, who however repels all his attacks without moving from his spot. He loses one point to Hisoka's feint, which prompts him to flip a floor tile in front of Hisoka and shatter it with a kick, sending the pieces flying at him. While Hisoka deflects them, Gon slips in his blind spot and punches him in the face, [65] earning two points.
The two contenders pause long enough for Gon to return Hisoka his badge. As they take their stances again, Hisoka asks Gon how much he learned about Nen.
He deduces that Gon is an Enhancer and details his personality test , which Gon finds accurate. The magician dashes at him and pummels him one-sidedly, with Gon's eyes managing to keep track of him, but his body failing to react in time. He keeps his distance while trying to come up with a plan until he uses Gyo and sees that Hisoka has attached his Bungee Gum to his cheek.
The magician pulls him within range and lands a heavy punch on him. The score being for Hisoka, Gon stands up with some difficulty. Hisoka offers to let him get a free hit if he can tell him when he attached his Bungee Gum , giving him three options. Gon goes with the third, only to be feel cheated when Hisoka reveals it was the fourth one: during the explanation of the personality test.
Gon regrets not using Gyo earlier, but Hisoka makes him understand he had no way of avoiding his ability. Since he cannot keep his distance, Gon runs towards Hisoka. His courage, determination, and initiative cause Hisoka to unleash his lustful killing intent.
Shivering but pushing through it, Gon strikes him repeatedly while Hisoka struggles to prevent himself from killing him until he is yanked towards Hisoka's fist again. He manages to block the second punch, but the referee counts it as a critical hit. Gon complains, to no avail. Hisoka warns him he will attack from the right. As the boy turns, he contracts the Bungee Gum he attached to a piece of stone while Gon was complaining, hitting him on his left cheek.
Hisoka wins by TKO and says that the next time the two fight, their match will be to the death. Acknowledging he is still much weaker than the magician, Gon resolves to become stronger. Gon and Killua's arrival takes Mito by surprise, and she rapidly takes charge.
As they eat, Gon tells her all about the exam and panics when she tries to break his Hunter license. He then takes Killua around the island, discovering that his Foxbear friend left him a fish as a "welcome home" present. While they gaze at the stars, Gon tells Killua he was his first friend and invites him to travel together until he finds a goal. When Killua asks him about his mother, Gon replies his "real" mother is Mito. They go back to prepare for the night, and Mito gives Gon a box left by Ging.
The next day, Gon and Killua try to open the box. Force does not work, but as soon as Gon, at Killua's suggestion, uses Nen, the box breaks open, revealing markings similar to those on the promise string Wing gave him.
Inside is another box, which Gon opens with his license. They find a cassette, a ring with the same markings, and a memory card.
They decide to listen to the cassette first, from which Ging's voice comes out, asking Gon if he wants to see him. Ging, however, states he is ashamed to face Gon, having abandoned him for his own sake, and urges him to find him. Gon stops the cassette before Ging can tell him anything about his mother, believing it would give him no hints and reaffirming that his only mother is Mito. Despite his and Killua's best efforts, the message on the cassette is erased with Nen left by Ging.
Killua speculates it is so they cannot use his voice to track him down. They examine the memory card, which Killua recognizes as belonging to a JoyStation game, [68] Greed Island. Not having ever played video games before, Gon is dependent on Killua for assistance.
The game turns out to be extremely rare, insanely expensive, and for Hunters only. They realize their combined funds are nowhere near enough to buy a copy, and they cannot trust online announcements.
Killua asks his brother Milluki for help, whom Gon initially believes to be Illumi. In exchange for the memory card, they learn that clues can be found on the Hunter Website and that multiple copies of the games will be auctioned in Yorknew. Killua stops Gon before he can access the site from his home computer.
The two head to a bar, where they log in to the Hunter Website. After paying a fee, they learn the game was made by Nen users for Nen users, who are transported elsewhere when they start playing, and that 14 copies of the game will be auctioned in Yorknew. The starting price is even higher than what they previously read, so Gon suggests attending the auction as sellers. They try to raise money to buy precious loot, but disagreements lead them to turn it into a competition. They head to Yorknew, where, after wandering the markets for a while, Gon and Killua meet Leorio, who haggles to buy them phones.
He enquires if they have already learned Nen, claiming he has. Leorio comes up with an idea: have people pay to challenge Gon in arm-wrestling so they can win a diamond as a prize.
Gon easily defeats several of them until Shizuku competes. Albeit with extreme difficulty, he manages to win. Dumbfounded, Gon and Killua wonder about her identity. The following day Gon defeats a few more challengers, but their number has already decreased as rumors spread, even though he is still far from acquiring the necessary sum. Impressed with the rumors, people from the underworld approach them. Due to Gon's arm being too short, Leorio competes in his place and defeats the opponent.
They are sent to a conditional auction where the money is offered in return for capturing members of a group of thieves, which Killua realizes to be the Phantom Troupe. Gon calls Kurapika, who is late to their meeting, but the latter does not pick up.
Despite Killua warning him of the strength of the gang, Gon decides to hunt them. Killua believes Kurapika does not want their help. Gon asserts that he will help them when they really need it, and he will call them when he needs them. He pawns his license to raise the necessary amount. On September 3 rd , the three head to the Southernpiece Auction House to buy its catalog as well as an admission ticket. They post an ad online, offering 15,, as a reward for information on the Spiders, taking care to avoid false and incorrect reports.
On their way to the hotel, they walk through a silent auction where Gon spots a valuable knife with Gyo. Realizing other geniuses may have left their aura in their masterpieces, the two boys begin to look for any such items.
They manage to secure three items, losing one to him. They take them to the Southernpiece Auction House, but they are told the catalogs of all auction houses in the city are likely to be done for the year. They are recommended to sell them in a dealer's market, so they try to find out the items' actual worth. The specialist they turn to is sincere in his appraisal of the lithograph and the handmade doll, but lies about the worth of the wooden statue.
Zepile prevents Gon and Killua from being swindled, claiming the statue is likely a vault for treasure. In return for his help, they treat him to lunch. They start to exchange information by asking one question each, with Gon and Killua explaining they only picked objects that had an aura around them, and that Gon wants to get a copy of Greed Island because it might contain clues as to where he can find his father.
Zepile reveals he made the vase they two boys were bidding on when he was working as a counterfeiter and, impressed with them and smitten with Gon complimenting his craftsmanship skills, offers them his services. He opens the wooden vault and the three take the treasure to an auction preview, where, in order to lower the price, some interested parties list ways in which the contents of the vault may have been forged. Despite Zepile's intervention, customers hesitate. Curious, Gon asks him what doctoring methods exist, and he explains cauterization, autopsy, and ostomy.
They are contacted by Leorio, who has received a real tip on the Spiders. Gon and Killua runoff, [5] leaving Zepile in charge of the auction. They meet up with Leorio and the three head to the bar where Nobunaga and Machi were spotted. Killua determines they are too powerful for them to take on and realizes they want to lure someone out.
The increase in tension between the Spiders causes Gon, Killua, and Leorio to tense up. When the two prepare to leave, Gon insists on carrying on with the plan. He asks Gon if he has any shadowing experience, and he replies he followed Hisoka during the Hunter Exam, which earns him a punch from Killua.
Although the two Spiders can sense them, they cannot determine their position. When the two stop in the middle of a courtyard, Gon and Killua hide in the adjoining abandoned building. When Nobunaga glances in Killua's direction, the two attempt to escape, but find two other Spiders blocking their way. Gon runs into Pakunoda before Machi jumps into the room through the window.
When Pakunoda's phone rings, he tries to bolt away but is promptly stopped by Machi. Pakunoda tells him that Killua surrendered, and the two are taken to the Spiders' hideout, where Gon spots Hisoka. Killua manages to pass off his surprised reaction as being aimed at Shizuku, who arm-wrestled him for the diamond. Impressed that Gon defeated her, Nobunaga challenges him at the same game. He effortlessly beats him several times, but when he begins to cry while talking about Uvogin , Gon snaps and activates his Nen, furious that the Spiders do not extend their feelings to the people they kill, and defeats him.
The boy refuses. Although the other Spiders are favorable to letting them go, Nobunaga decides to keep them around until Chrollo 's return to nominate Gon as Uvogin's replacement. Gon and Killua are locked in a room, with Nobunaga guarding the only entrance. Gon stops Killua when his friend offers to lay down his life so Gon can escape. The two bickers until Gon remembers the third doctoring trick, ostomy. They prepare for combat, but, instead of engaging Nobunaga, they each kick a hole in a lateral wall.
Killua, however, convinces him to use Zetsu and escape, since they have no way of beating him. As they run away, Gon is relieved that Killua has gone back to his careful self. He is surprised to hear that the "Chain Dude" is probably Kurapika, and decides to contact him to refine his Nen and defeat the Spiders. They tell them about their capture and Kurapika's actions. Not much later, Gon receives a call from Kurapika, who tells him the Spiders are dead.
The following day, Gon and Killua have an ice cream eating contest while waiting for Kurapika. When he arrives, Gon happily tells him he can finally focus on retrieving the eyes of his brethren, before being sucked into a fight with Killua.
Gon and Leorio question him about Nen, and Kurapika explains he used a Vow and a Limitation to restrict his target to the Phantom Troupe alone lest he dies. Killua, fearing the surviving Spiders might learn about Kurapika's identity and restriction through Pakunoda, insists on going after them. Gon's determination sways Kurapika, who accepts his friends' help.
He plans to chain Pakunoda and take her away by car, for which he will need Gon to distract the Spiders for, ideally, one whole second. Thinking back about how Machi stopped him, he wonders if he can do it. He then asks Kurapika to use Judgment Chain on him. Gon states the pressure of letting down a friend is worse than risking his life. While Killua tails six of them, Gon is in a car with Kurapika and Leorio. He is told that Pakunoda is in the group, as well as Nobunaga.
They wait for them at a station, but before Gon can divert their attention, [91] the Spiders start running towards the Hotel Beitacle. Gon and Kurapika chase after them but are sensed by Chrollo, who stops with Machi and Shizuku. The pursuers hide in time to avoid recognition. Seeing Killua behind Kurapika, Gon comes out to prevent them from fighting Kurapika, with Killua playing the part of the second pursuer, pretending not to know the Mafia had canceled the reward.
They are restrained by Machi and taken to the hotel, but not before Gon calmly asks Chrollo how he can kill people with no connection to him, only to receive an incomprehensible reply. While he tries to think of a way to communicate with him, he sees Leorio, who tells him the planned time through a coded message by passing himself off as someone yelling at his underling on the phone.
Three minutes before execution, Nobunaga, Pakunoda, and Kortopi arrive at the hotel. Following Killua's example, Gon closes his eyes and tries to stall Pakunoda. She manages to read their memories one instant before the lights go off. Gon kicks Pakunoda but fails to free himself, and is subsequently caught by Nobunaga.
Kurapika leaves them a message warning Pakunoda not to share what she discovered. Phinks' accusation that he is lying to be saved enrages Gon, who breaks free from his restraints. He states Kurapika would not violate the terms he set out of anger. Pakunoda is allowed to take Gon and Killua to Lingon Airport. Kurapika allows him to get on board as well, and the hostage exchange is carried out. On September 6 th , Gon hopes Kurapika's fever won't go down for a while, so he will not go after the remaining Spiders.
Unlike Killua, he is convinced that revenge is no longer Kurapika's objective. He tells his friend his plan [98] to be hired by Battera as players instead of trying to purchase the game, [] which Killua reckons to be likely to succeed. Phinks cuts their retreat and announces they are not pursuing Kurapika, since his Nen may become stronger after his death and become too much for Chrollo to bear. Gon enquires about Pakunoda, learning, to his displeasure, she has died. Phinks tells him she was thankful to him and Killua.
He accidentally doubles a bid on the game, but luckily Battera outbids him. Gon and Killua later approach him, claiming to be Hunters and offering to play the game for him. They are initially not believed, but Battera agrees to have Tsezguerra assess them informally when Gon reveals he owns a save file of the game and the ring. At Tsezguerra's request, the boys perform Ren; however, their prowess is deemed insufficient. Gon lashes at Tsezguerra, and the two vow to pass his tryouts on September 10 th.
Instead of working on their Ten and Ren, as usual, Killua suggests using the four days at their disposal to create a Nen ability. Gon, however, does not know where to begin. He asks him to be his teacher, but Kurapika declines and recommends Gon call his master. Wing insists that Gon not to create a slapdash ability, but that he shows Tsezguerra every technique he has learned at the same time.
The apparent irreconcilability of Ren and Zetsu has him despair at first until he remembers he can use Gyo to focus his aura in one spot and shut it off everywhere else.
While he trains, Zepile raises enough money for him to buy back his license. Both boys pass the selection and, after having Leorio look at the contract, ride a train to Battera's castle. The newly hired players have a rock-paper-scissors tournament to decide the order of entrance, and Gon goes first, accessing the game with the save file left by Ging.
He meets Eta , who plays a message left by Ging for him saying the game contains no clues and that he simply wanted to show it to him. Hunter x Hunter is one of the most popular, Shounen franchises often celebrated by its community for its cerebral narrative, exceptional action, and subversive writing.
And while several arcs in the series have been incredible within their own right, one arc stands out as almost a non-sequitur compared to what's been established with the rest of the world. That would be the tonally and aesthetically dissonant world of Greed Island, the infamous game for Hunters and one of the series' most exciting yet incredibly strange stories. While there were certainly plenty of fun and memorable moments across the arc, a lot of its content and intent were left with very minimal explanation.
In dissection of the Hunter game, here are 10 things that still don't make sense about Greed Island. Greed Island is a massive, passion project by Ging and some of his closest friends.
The game itself wouldn't be possible without some of his personal friends managing the game, controlling who gets in and out, and defending the island. And while it's touching to see such dedication go into the game, it's still strange that some of his friends would seemingly dedicate the rest of their lives to game whose partial function is to entertain and train Ging's son. Didn't these people want to do anything else? They're capable of crafting a functioning, realistic island and society with their own powers.
Why isn't that being used for anything more constructive than a game? While its price point was an obstacle during the arc's early stages, it's still often understated that Greed Island, the game of Hunters that kills people, is a consumer product. Not including the auctioning of old copies within the modern day, Greed Island was once sold as an actual product by the company Marilyn, Inc.
Considering that it's an actual place, why did Greed Island need to be a product? Who is getting the funds from the initial purchases and the shops of the in game world?
While killing is legal for Hunters which is baffling within its own right , why is it legal to market an entire safety hazard to people? While profiting from the game already seems like an unnecessary detail to the world, the most strange thing about its premise and intent is still the fact that it's an entire game meant for fun. It's a niche experience using tons of resources, labor, and time that is only appreciated and enjoyed by a select few or, in the story's case, the one team that actually won it.
Having persisted for as long as it has, has Greed Island actually contributed anything to society or entertained anyone? It transforms into its card form once a player uses enough force on the tree in which it resides. Melanin Lizard - A lizard large enough to swallow a cow whole, it can use its huge body to pin down and kill its victims by suffocation.
