Keep on living just the way you are
Let me put it this way so you'd understand.
I'm gonna make you unable to walk this time if you don't give up.
Just surrender.
Never!
You don't understand.
If you're dead, there is no next time.
Is your pride more important than your life?
Will you be truly satisfied dying that way?
Answer me! Gon!
Hanzo, if you kill Gon, then I'll...
...kill you.
Gon, I'll be your witness. Show me what you're made of.
I'm looking for my dad.
He's a Hunter.
He's somewhere far away,
but I know that I'm gonna find him one day.
But if I give up now,
I feel like I'll never be able to see him.
That's why I won't give up.
If you don't, you're gonna die.
Still, I won't.
I guess it's not logic.
You stubborn brat!
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!
The two of us should come up with some other way to fight each other!
I knew you were gonna say that.
Are you an idiot?!
You're never gonna surrender, no matter how we fight, right?!
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 l?
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?
