My arm around your shoulder,

My hand holding yours.
"ohayou" tte itte
Tell me "good morning."
mata yume wo misete
Once more show me the dream.
shizen na sono ikikata de iikarasa
Keep on living just the way you are.
I won't wait anymore. I will have your arm next.
There we have it...
Kastro's signature Tiger Bite Fist!
Tiger Bite Fist... Kastro is serious.
On the other hand, Hisoka hasn't even realized Kastro's true power.
At this rate, he will be taken down.
You can have it.
All right.
Then, as you wish...
I'll take this one.
Hey.
Nice job.
Now show me your wounds already.
I've always had my suspicions, but watching you in the ring today confirmed it.
You're an idiot, aren't you?
Going through all the trouble to fight recklessly like that.
What did you want to do? Was that supposed to be a performance?
But what do I care, it only means more money for me.
Better stop the bleeding first. Close off the aura to your arm.
Here it goes.
There, done.
Your blood vessels, bones, nerves and muscles have all been reconnected.
Excellent.
Now for the other one.
This time you can hold the arm yourself.
Watching your work never fails to amaze me.
Maybe I'll get injured on purpose so I can see your Nen Stitches close up again.
Spare me the flattery.
That's twenty million for your left and fifty for your right.
Fork it over.
I got it.
Checks okay as always?
By the way, how about dinner with me tonight?
How unfortunate.
Starting today, you two will be training with Zushi.
Osu!
Gon, well done.
You've honored our agreement these last two months.
All thanks to this thread of promise.
Actually, I was tempted many times,
but looking at the string made me feel calm inside.
I infused it with Nen for just that purpose.
What? Really?!
Just kidding.
Was he always like this?
But what makes you so sure he didn't break the promise?
I mean, he could've cheated secretly.
Because the thread of promise is not broken.
Now Gon, it's been a while, but can you show me your Ten?
It's okay?
Yeah.
What do you think, Zushi?
Amazing!
It's so calm, but it's also really powerful!
It's perfect!
I was afraid I'd forgotten how to do it.
It's kind of like riding a bicycle.
Once you've learned how to do it, you'll never forget.
But it was much smoother and less time consuming than before.
That's because you've been practicing your Ten every day.
Look at your left hand now.
Huh? It broke!
It didn't come off no matter how many times you washed your hands, right?
I tied it with my Nen in such a way that it would break if you broke your promise and used Nen.
I have a question, Master.
You saw the match between Hisoka and Kastro, right?
Yes.
Hisoka's magic is actually Nen, isn't it?
But I couldn't see his aura. Why is that?
Hisoka uses a technique which makes his aura almost invisible.
It's a highly advanced form of Zetsu called "In."
And the only way to recognize it is to master an advanced form of Ren known as Gyo.
So Gon, how many days do you have left to prepare for your next match?
Let's see, two months have passed, so I have almost a month left.
And you, Killua?
I've got exactly 27 days to go.
That should be enough time.
It never pays to rush your training.
Take your time and work on mastering Ren.
That's the fastest way.
Osu!
It's so powerful and just as big as ours...
I can tell his aura's bursting with power!
Now focus all of that aura into your eyes!
Osu!
Now, can you see my aura?
Yes!
What color?
It's yellow.
Yes, that's correct.
You've improved amazingly, Zushi.
Osu.
For now, you won't be able to use Gyo
unless you summon all the power you've got.
But if you continue to practice, you'll all be able to fight while using Gyo.
Gyo is a common technique used when going up against an unknown opponent.
If you don't know your opponent's power, you can't expect to ever win.
Starting tomorrow, you two will begin practicing Gyo too.
Osu!
I'm sleepy.
What's the matter?
I'm not sleepy yet, so I'm gonna go for a walk and come back.
All right, see ya later.
Yeah. Good night.
A walk? Right...
Imagine storing energy in my body.
Gather energy from every cell in my body little by little and make it bigger...
And release all the stored power at once!
And focus all the aura into my eyes!
Yes... Hello?
Gon, it's me.
Hisoka.
That was was you last night, right? Seems you've mastered Ren already.
Originally, my condition was at least one victory on the 200th floor...
But I'll give you a pass because of that and the results of your last match.
Just name the time and place. I'll take you on anytime.
I'll wait for you to contact me.
See ya...
They are on a whole nother level!
Fine. You've both passed.
Well, I certainly didn't expect this.
To think you'd both master Gyo overnight.
Now that you've both finished your assignment,
you probably want to start training your Hatsu, is that correct?
Yes.
All right then.
I've underestimated your ability to improve.
Let's start training for Hatsu immediately.
Hatsu is a technique which allows one to control aura at will.
In other words, it's the culmination of Nen abilities.
Emitter. Enhancer.
Transmuter. Manipulator.
Conjurer and Specialist.
Nen users are classified into six broad categories.
Nen abilities have a deep connection with the user's personality.
Depending on born characteristics of one's aura,
it will fall into one of these categories.
This chart illustrates the compatibility of each of the six characteristics.
The closer two categories are to each other, the easier it is to learn and master both.
But the further away two are, the harder it is.
Therefore, it's important to understand which characteristic your aura belongs to from the start.
Question! Is there a way to find that out?
There is.
Water Divination is a Shingen Ryu screening tool.
It also happens to be used in training Hatsu.
Cup your hands around the glass and perform Ren.
Your characteristic is revealed by what happens.
The water...
It's overflowing!
Enhancers change the volume of the water.
So this shows that I have an Enhancer's aura.
Now why don't you three give it a try?
All right, I'll go first.
Oh!
Guess you're an Enhancer, too!
The leaf's moving!
That means you're a Manipulator.
Oh!
All right, finally my turn!
N-Nothing's happening.
Looks that way.
Could it be I have no ability?
No, no... Why don't you taste the water?
It's kinda sweet.
You're right.
Isn't this just plain water?
Changing the taste of the water shows you're a Transmuter.
Well, now everyone knows exactly what type of aura they have.
For the next four weeks, devote yourself to this training.
Keep polishing it up until you can make more significant changes.
Osu!
Gon? What is it?
I don't think we have a lesson scheduled here for today.
I wanted to show you how far I've gotten in my training.
Okay. No problem.
How was that?
You learn very quickly. You've already mastered Water Divination.
Well... Actually, I...
I think I can guess why you're here.
Huh?
It's about your opponent in the upcoming match, yes?
You want to fight Hisoka.
Isn't that right?
I hit the mark it seems. Hisoka is strong.
As it stands right now, you have no chance of defeating him.
I know that, but...
But you still want to fight him.
That's why you've been training your Nen, right?
Yes.
I'm only your Master for Nen.
I have no intention of telling you how to live your life.
You are free to fight Hisoka.
However... I have only one condition: don't push yourself, no matter what.
Can you promise me that?
Osu!
Hello?
I've been waiting.
Have you decided when you wanna fight me?
Yeah.
Our fight's gonna be on June 10th.
Let's finish this in Heavens Arena.
Okay...
I look forward to it.
It seems you slept well.
Last night, I was so excited that I was wide awake,
but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell right to sleep.
You know, I'm pretty simple!
That isn't something I would go around saying.
Well, I'll be watching from the audience, so before you get hurt badly... just lose already!
That hurt!
Hey, Killua?
What is it?
After we're finished with our training here...
Never mind, I'll see you at the arena!
Okay!
Hisoka versus Gon!
The match you've all been waiting for is about to begin.
The first to enter the arena is Gon!
He approaches the ring with thunderous applause.
And now, entering the arena from the opposite side, Hisoka!
So you're here huh?!
So conceited!
Get lost!
Let me see blood!
So far Gon has lost one match. This is the second match.
Hisoka's record stands at nine wins and three losses.
If he wins today, he'll be a Floor Master. However, if he loses he'll fall to the ground floor.
This just might be the most important match of his life.
He's won every fight he's bothered to show up for so far,
but will he be able to continue his incredible winning streak?!
Now, everyone, it's time to vote for your favorite!
As expected, Hisoka is the favorite to win by a large margin!
I've been told that this match was arranged by Gon and Hisoka themselves.
I wonder what kind of score they have to settle with each other.
You shouldn't stare at me like that.
When you look at me so passionately...
You get me.. all worked up.
What an ominous aura.
It's rising up from his Dantian.
Winner by points or KO. No time limit.
One round match!
I have never forgotten!
Quite a surprise.
Consider it my favor to you.
Right now, you are being kept alive by me.
I don't wanna owe you anything!
I'm returning this now!
When you're capable of striking me in the face like that, I'll be happy to take my badge back.
But until then, I'm just gonna have to let you hold onto it.
I've done everything I'm capable of doing.
So that I'll be able to move on after this,
I will return the favor right here, right now!
Begin!
Hit! One point to Hisoka!
This is an amazing fight!
I don't even have the time to commentate!
What's wrong?
I haven't even moved an inch from where I started, you know?
You really haven't...
I'll show you!
He is calm and composed as always.
That Hisoka is just having fun with this.
But Gon's having fun too, though he's putting more effort into it.
I get it.
It'd be more effective mixing in feints instead of trying to hit him with every attack.
The difference in their abilities is obvious.
Yet instead of being scared,
he thinks calmly and comes up with his next move, while enjoying the fight.
He really is an incredible kid.
Still, there's a world of difference between their skills in an actual fight.
Landing even a single punch would be impossible going straight on.
The only thing he can do is take advantage of Hisoka's arrogance.
Hisoka recognizes that he's in a different class.
That's why he won't dodge or move.
You have to take advantage of it, Gon!
Yeah. I'll go for it!
H-He's ripped up a floor tile!
Critical! Two points to Gon!
Incredible! Gon has landed a critical hit!
Gon now leads by one point!
He did it! Master, he did it!
Ouch... Finally... I hit Hisoka!
All right!
What's this?!
Hisoka has finally moved for the first time in this match.
He has a little smile on his face!
Does it mean the fight has just begun?!
Whoa! What in the world does this mean?!
Hisoka is strong and scary.
But I have to make the next move!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Hisoka's Love x Showdown x Gon's Resolve!
Hisoka really is scary!
