Keep on living just the way you are.
Looks like you won't need to be initiated.
If you can win one match on this floor, I'll fight you.
This is an attack I call the Battle Waltz!
The only thing I can do right now is...
I can still fight!
Broken right radius and ulna... A cracked humerus...
Three rib fractures and cracks in a dozen other bones.
You're gonna need four months to heal now!
You moron.
Sorry...
Apologizing to me isn't gonna do anything!
What is going on in here, huh?
You could've been one of those guys who got initiated without knowing Nen.
One wrong move and you could've ended up just like them!
I mean, why do you think that guy with the glasses warned us?
I know, but I really thought I was gonna be all right.
I know I got hit by those tops a bunch of times...
but I had a feeling I wasn't gonna die.
Oh yeah? Really?
Coming!
Oh. Hey, Glasses Guy... I mean...
Master Wing...
I, uh...
Well, uh...
I'm really...
What good is an apology gonna do now?!
What the hell were you thinking out there?!
You could've been one of those guys who got initiated without knowing Nen.
One wrong move and you could've ended up just like them!
Geez!
Oh, yeah.
I just told him that.
Listen...
I'm just glad it wasn't any worse. I really mean that.
Master Wing...
I'm really, really sorry.
Forget it. That's not good enough.
Hey, Killua...
Do you know how long it'll take Gon to make a full recovery?
The doctor said it'll take about two months.
I see. I forbid you to participate in any matches for two months.
You're not allowed to train for Nen, or research it in any way.
And if you fail to keep these conditions, then I have to nothing teach you.
Understand?
I do. You have my word, I promise.
Your left hand please.
This is your pledge.
Whenever you see it, remember the promise you made.
Okay.
Can I speak to you, Killua?
Well?
What are your real goals here?
Well, it's hard to say...
Before we met you and Zushi,
I was just here to make some extra money.
Gon was here to train himself, so he can fight Hisoka.
And that's about it.
Hisoka?
He was the stalker who was waiting for us on the 200th floor.
It seems like most of these guys up here on the 200th floor
are trying to make it all the way to the top.
But that doesn't really interest me.
I'm not so sure about Gon, though.
He says all he cares about is settling his score with Hisoka.
But seeing him in the ring yesterday...
He seemed like he was enjoying the thrill.
This is incredible!
How long can he keep this up?!
There must be almost 50 tops spinning around inside that ring!
And Gon is dodging every single one in this complex storm of tops!
He's dodging them! And again! And again!
It's probably been over an hour already!
Gido has run out of tops, and like us, all he can do now is watch.
We'll be here however long this match will take!
Just do what you gotta do!
That guy...
This is it...
It doesn't get any better than this!
Gido can't seem to get the last point he needs to win,
even with all those tops!
No!
Not that way!
This is it! Gon has nowhere left to go!
He was enjoying it even though he could've been killed?
Yeah.
I can relate, since I can be like that sometimes.
Though, I'd pick and choose my opponent and the time and place for the fight.
He easily gets caught up in the moment.
I guess he's kinda reckless that way.
Oh, but don't worry. He's not the kinda guy who breaks a promise twice!
What have I done?
It's too late.
Because we already know.
You don't have to regret what you've done or feel responsible for us learning about Nen.
If you'd quit on us now, we'd just find someone else.
Or we'd study it on our own, somehow.
Hisoka and my brother both are Nen-users.
We would've found out sooner or later.
That may be true... but still...
Good morning, gentlemen.
Hey, good morning.
All right, then. I'm not about to quit halfway through.
To be honest, there are many more things I want to teach you.
Why don't you continue your training with Zushi and me?
No thanks.
I don't wanna leave Gon behind.
When his two months are up, we'll pick up where we left off together.
Killua...
You can tell Gon that he has my permission to work on "Nen of the flame."
He can also practice focusing his Ten.
Of course, you can too!
Hey, Gon! Glasses Guy said...
And what's that supposed to mean?!
Like I said, you're not qualified to sign a contract with us.
You must be pretty smart
since you managed to find this office all by yourself.
But I still can't recommend you to my clientèle.
Look, I know that I don't have any actual work experience, but...
No, it's not that.
It's not your inexperience.
Some clients don't mind hiring beginners.
But... You're not even a beginner yet.
What do you mean?! I already have my Hunter License!
It's real.
Of course it is.
But your Exam is not over yet.
I can tell just by looking at you.
What do you mean?
Tell me what you see.
What I... see?
Yeah, next to me.
Don't see anything, do you?
Come back when you can see what I'm talking about.
That's our minimum hiring standard here.
What was that all about? I couldn't see anything.
But I did sense that something was there.
What could it have been?!
Master... I think...
I think I may have awoken a terrible monster.
I'm coming in.
Hey, Killua! I was just gonna come and see you.
What the... You're all better now?
Yep!
All better! I'm completely healed!
He got over a four month injury in just one month!
You! You're weird! Absolutely weird! You really are from the wild!
What are you made of?!
Oh, maybe it's because I've been eating these!
Dried sardines?
Yep.
That's too simple...
So what did you come here for anyway?
Oh, yeah.
Check 'em out.
Tickets?
Yeah, but not just any tickets.
These are tickets for Hisoka's next match.
Hisoka's matches are really popular; lots of people were lining up for it.
The only reason I even got my hands on them
was because I'm on the 200th floor.
But still, I had to pay them. They're so cheap!
I also asked around about Hisoka a little bit.
He's built up quite a reputation here.
He's fought eleven matches, with eight wins, three losses, and six KOs.
And the number of KO's equals the number of corpses.
The three losses are all by default.
I guess he registers for the matches at the deadline,
but then he doesn't show up for them.
Man, that guy is so full of himself.
Anyway, what this all means is, he's never actually lost a fight.
Right.
And not only that...
There's more?
In all of his eleven matches,
he only lost a grand total of four points.
That's one knockdown and three clean hits.
The guys I was talking to say Hisoka is as good as any Floor Master.
That sucks.
Yeah right. His expression says otherwise.
Well, this time, he's up against a guy named Kastro.
Three of the four points that Hisoka's given up were to this guy.
It's gonna be a showdown.
This match will give you an opportunity to analyze Hisoka's technique.
He might actually fight for real this time.
But... you think it's okay?
I made a promise to Master Wing.
What?! Of course, it's okay!
All we're gonna do is sit and watch the match!
Forget it!
Watching a match counts as studying Nen.
Killua may go...
But Gon, I want you to focus on getting better for another month.
I understand.
Well, that's all I had to say.
Is he stalking us?
Killua...
Oh well.
Is anyone going up?
We can just tape the match, and I'll go by myself.
Is anyone going up?
Yeah...
These tickets cost me 150,000 Jenny each!
I could've bought a thousand chocolate robots with that!
Is anyone going up?!
Man, what the hell!
Just get in already, kid!
This elevator is going up.
Okay, I'll see ya later.
See ya.
They're following my instructions.
They've been focusing on improving their spiritual selves.
The aura leaking out of them shows this clearly.
It suggests a great, but tranquil river.
I better take it easy. I'm the one losing my composure here.
Welcome to the Battle Hour!
We've got an exciting match for you today!
And that match is between Kastro and Hisoka!
Hello! I'm reporting live from the stadium.
Just look at this crowd.
It's a full house, and the match is still an hour away!
With eight wins and three loses, with all the losses being by default...
The grim reaper who's prone to taking days off, Hisoka the Magician!
Meanwhile, his opponent has nine wins and one loss!
He's won nine in a row since his loss to Hisoka, and is one away from challenging a Floor Master...
Kastro the Warrior!
He's already stated that he wants to avenge his earlier loss. Is today the day?
What?! There's no more Chocolate Robots?!
Yeah, I'm sorry about that, sir.
Man, how does that happen?
Well...
Two days ago, someone came in here and bought up our entire stock.
Two days ago?
It was me.
We should be getting more in about two weeks.
In that case, I'll have some energy juice.
Thank you!
Let's look at Kastro's interview footage.
Well, I'm not letting the pressure of winning my tenth match get to me.
I just want to bring my best into the ring.
And here I thought he'd be a gorilla.
Do you think you have a chance of defeating Hisoka?!
If I didn't think I could win, I wouldn't fight.
I'll prove that I'm not the same opponent Hisoka faced two years ago.
Right. Well, good luck!
A big talker, huh?
Let's see if his confidence is well deserved!
Thanks.
That wraps up our interview with Kastro.
This should work...
Energy juice?
Weird...
There he is.
May I help you?
What?
He's gone!
But I saw him sitting in that chair.
How'd he get behind me?!
Did he slip past me in the doorway without me noticing?
That's impossible.
I was watching him through the door right until the second he spoke to me.
There's no way I would've missed him.
Then how?
Yeah!
Actually, I came here to get your autograph.
I'd be honored to do that for you, Killua.
I know all my rivals on the 200th floor.
Isn't Gon with you today?
I guess you know everything.
Spying on the enemy today?
Not really. I just wanted to see you up close.
I see. So, what do you think of me?
Pretty impressive.
Thank you.
Your technique of hiding your presence from me was pretty impressive too.
But if you want it to be effective you have to start before you arrive on this floor.
Anyone would be wary when the aura of someone of your caliber suddenly vanishes.
You were keeping track of me as soon as I got off the elevator?
Sure was.
Excuse me.
Oh, sure.
Tell me something...
How'd you do that?
I'm afraid I can't tell you. I might fight you, too, one day.
Don't worry. I don't plan to fight here anymore.
Oh really? It seems that your aura is telling a very different story.
I'm just joking.
I'll show you how I did it in the match.
Oh, you want that autograph?
Never mind. I didn't even bring any paper.
See ya!
Killua...
I'll be waiting at the Battle Olympia.
I'm sure you can make it.
I told you, I'm not gonna fight anymore.
This is it, the moment you've all been waiting for!
Hisoka versus Kastro... it's gonna be the battle of the century!
From the moment they entered the ring, they've been staring each other down.
And the match hasn't even started yet!
Who's going to emerge victorious in this brutal grudge match?! Will it be Hisoka?
Or will it be Kastro?!
It's anybody's guess!
I'm grateful, Hisoka.
Without your initiation, I never would've gotten this strong.
Who got strong?
I'll say this.
In the nine matches I've had since then... I never once fought my hardest.
They were all warm ups to defeat you!
You really shouldn't have gone to all that trouble.
But I wonder if you even have what it takes to make this fight worth my while.
Well, do you?!
Of course!
This is Hisoka versus Kastro.
Begin!
Here I come!
Clean hit!
His right hand?
That was just like when he got behind me!
How does he do it?!
Kastro opens the match with an impressive attack!
Hisoka failed to avoid the lighting fast strike and gives up the first point!
Get serious, Hisoka. I'm not who I was two years ago.
I won't go as easy next time!
What's the big hurry?
Whether or not it's time to get serious isn't for you to decide.
It's entirely up to me.
Hisoka's said he's gonna fight me.
I just started training again, but I'm...
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Bungee x Punch x One Round Battle!
I'm helpless against Hisoka's Nen!
