Keep on living just the way you are
Who failed?
Let me start from the beginning.
Kil...
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l just feet like taking it.
l 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...
l do have something I want.
No, you don't.
l do!
There're things I desire.
Then tell me, what is it?
What's wrong?
You don't really want anything, do you?
l do.
l want to be... friends with Gon.
l don't wanna kill anymore. I'm sick of it.
l wanna be friends with Gon, like a normal kid.
l 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.
l 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...
l 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.
l guess the same is true if I kill Gon.
l 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 l?
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.
l lose, Illumi...
Oh good. No need to fight now then.
l was just kidding, Kil.
l was never actually going to kill Gon.
But the way you were talking was so unexpected,
l 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?
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,
l think you should tell us all what he said.
I'm not obliged to tell.
l 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.
l 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?
l want you to tell me where to find Killua!
l 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?
l will find you!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
