Keep on living just the way you are
The wind is getting stronger.
I think a storm is brewing.
Yes.
He should come back early on a day like this.
He's having too much fun.
For him, wilderness is like his father.
But he promised to come home before dark.
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...
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.
All right! I'm on my way to take the Hunter Exam!
On the way to the Exam Hall, I meet a weird man!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Encounter x Hesitation x Departure!
It's gonna be fun!
Did you hear it?
