Hello?
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!
