Keep on living just the way you are.
The match you've all been waiting for is set to begin.
You shouldn't stare at me like that.
You're getting me... all worked up.
Winner by points or KO!
No time limit! One round match!
Begin!
Hit! One point to Hisoka!
All right!
Hey, Killua! Gon did it!
He got a critical hit and turned it around!
Yeah.
But a scheme like that will work only once.
He can't do the same thing again.
You're right.
This is where his real fight starts.
What was that just now?! I don't get it!
Anyway, Gon scored a critical hit and the score is now two to one!
Gon has taken the lead!
However, it doesn't look like the attack caused much damage to Hisoka,
so I'm a little confused about the scoring just now.
The judging is correct.
Yes?
Each referee has their own personal scoring style.
Some place importance on the amount of damage dealt,
while others like to reward strategy and technique.
Oh? Is that so?
Using the stone floor tile effectively in the attack just now has been rewarded highly on strategy.
I get it now!
And who are you?
I won't say.
How much have you learn about Nen?
All the basics.
Really.
You're an Enhancer, aren't you?
Huh? How did you know that?!
It won't do to expose yourself so easily.
You're so cute.
Shut up! How did you know?
Like using blood types to tell a person's personality, it's baseless, but...
I've devised a method of profiling people by their aura.
Profiling... by a person's aura?
Master, is there such a thing?
True, it's well known that a person's Nen ability is directly related to their personality.
Like I told you before, Nen users fall into one of these six groups:
Enhancer, Transmuter, Conjurer, Emitter, Manipulator, or Specialist.
In Gon's case, he was born with strong, flexible muscles.
And he has keen senses developed by growing up in harmony with nature.
The reason he could hone these talents so well
might have something to do with the character of an Enhancer.
In short, the characteristic of an Enhancer is...
Simplemindedness.
That's true.
So true.
By the way, I'm a Transmuter. We're whimsical liars.
That's true.
I wish he would tell us the characteristic of a Manipulator!
We are pretty compatible, you know?
Since our characters are polar opposites, we attract each other.
So we may be the best of friends.
But you should be very careful...
Transmuters are whimsical liars, remember?
For us, what was once valuable can instantly turn to trash.
So...
Don't disappoint me, Gon.
Th-That kick had incredible power!
So rough.
Hisoka kicked one of the stone floor tiles up into the crowd!
Not bad.
Critical hit, two points to Hisoka! The score is three to two!
So quick! Hisoka's getting serious!
A string of consecutive attacks too fast to see have earned Hisoka a critical hit.
And Gon seems powerless to stop them.
Just like that, Hisoka's back in the lead!
You're an Enhancer all right. Your Ten is pretty powerful.
You're still standing,even after the beating you just got.
What's wrong? Why don't you come and attack me?
Don't wanna! I'm trying to come up with a strategy!
He's fast. I can chase him with my eyes, but my body is not keeping up.
At this rate, I'm just gonna get beat up!
He looks faster now than he did against Kastro.
Yes. That must be his true speed.
And he still has got one more trick.
Right.
That power.
Gon, Killua, please listen carefully...
This is a video tape of the fight between Hisoka and Kastro.
Every detail of their match has been captured on this.
Everything?
So that means...
The Nen-user who recorded this was a Manipulator.
Hisoka's aura was captured on here.
Hisoka's?
Really?! And how did you manage to get your hands on it?
Fighting before briefing yourself on the enemy can't be called courage.
Understanding your opponent's powers
and devising a countermeasure makes for a good strategy.
Particularly when your opponent is at a Floor Master level.
This much foreknowledge is indispensable to having a good match.
Use Gyo to discover Hisoka's Nen ability.
Osu!
How was it?
I saw them! Thin, thread-like auras. Fifteen of 'em!
Yeah. They came from his left hand
and are connected to his arms, his cards, practically everything!
That's exactly right.
What kind of trick is that?
They looked like they were stretching back and forth.
Yeah. I wonder if they work like a magnet, attracting each other,
or if they're more like rubber bands or something?
It seems he can transform his aura into sticky elastics
that he can attach to anything he wants.
I get it!
That's how he could attach his arms and land a punch right on the jaw.
But how come Kastro didn't realize that the aura was stuck to him?
That has something to do with his fighting style.
Killua, what was Kastro's Nen ability?
Oh, he creates a double.
That's right. He creates an actual duplicate of himself with substance, not illusion.
That's how he got behind me when I went to his dressing room.
Having seen the power of his Tiger Bite Fist,
I'd say he's actually an Enhancer,
but he's chosen the ability to create a double.
This requires a Conjuring ability,
as well as a Manipulative ability to control the double.
It's extremely advanced and complicated.
Enhancer
Manipulator
Conjurer
However, they are not compatible with an Enhancer.
As a result, Kastro wasted most of his natural ability.
On the other hand,
Hisoka used In to conceal his aura from Kastro.
Of course, a man of Kastro's experience should have been able to use Gyo to see through it,
but Hisoka didn't let him.
He used his bizarre magic to distract Kastro.
On top of that, he emphasized that he was not serious yet
by camouflaging his aura with In.
Kastro wasted his natural ability of Enhancement,
while Hisoka used his to their full potential.
As a result, Kastro lost his life just as others before him had.
His behavior, combined with talent and
his Nen ability that can be fully applicable even after being revealed,
make up a truly devilish fighting style.
Okay then, shall we watch it again?
Osu! Yes, please!
In any case, I can't get tangled up in Hisoka's pace.
Before he uses his aura gum, I'll get a few more punches in!
I gotta move in quick and get away...
Have you decided what you're gonna do yet?
I'm getting tired of waiting.
If you won't come to me... I guess I'll force you to come over?
Gon, use Gyo!
Too late for that.
Oh no!
Now then... what do you think will happen next, Gon?
With this, you can't escape anymore.
The two of them are just standing there staring each other down!
Hisoka's decided to drop his In.
I suppose, once he's attached it, he no longer needs to hide it.
It means he has absolute confidence in his Nen ability.
What would you do if you were in this situation, Killua?
First, I'd try my best to rip that thing off before he gets me.
Oh... Gon's dashing around!
He's going for the attack first!
Gon has decided to confuse his opponent!
You can do it!
Now, how's Hisoka going to respond?!
Oh, Gon jumps high into the air!
He's being pulled in!
Not over yet.
A one-two punch by Hisoka, and Gon is down!
Critical hit! Two points and a down to Hisoka!
Six to two!
Gon jumped to attack but was countered!
Is Hisoka going to extend his legendary invincibility after all?!
Gon...
Stand up.
Gon seems to have suffered a great amount of damage!
Does he still intend to continue?!
Can you continue?
Of course!
Gon's determined to continue!
All right!
Way to go!
Will he be the one to break Hisoka's winning streak?!
The crowd appears to be hoping for the miracle!
This sure takes me back.
In the Final Exam...
Even then, you had everyone on your side... just as they are now.
You can see this, right?
I call it my Bungee Gum. It stretches and snaps back nicely.
I can attach it or detach it at will.
You see? You weren't pulled in this time.
It's all under my control.
You can't hope to escape from my Bungee Gum.
Hisoka seems to have stopped fighting,
and it appears as though he's explaining something to Gon.
What is his thinking behind this?
Actually, it has to do with a traumatic experience he had with chewing gum.
When Hisoka was a boy, his favorite brand of gum was called Bungee Gum.
Oh?! But how's that traumatic?
Gum generally is tasty at first, but it loses its flavor as you chew it.
But Hisoka's family was poor
and he couldn't buy a new pack of Bungee Gum every day with his measly allowance.
So, having no choice, Hisoka stuck the tasteless...
Please standby.
I'd like to apologize. There were inappropriate remarks in the earlier broadcast.
Now, let's get back to the action!
I have a quiz for you.
If you answer correctly, I'll give you a free punch.
For free?
At what point did I attach my Bungee Gum to your cheek?
One, during the elbow strike? Two, during the clean hit?
Or three, during the critical hit? Which one was it?
When... When was it?!
It's three! When you hit me with both hands!
Wrong.
The answer's four.
I threw it and attached it to you while analyzing your personality.
That's dirty!
I told you, Transmuters are whimsical liars.
I should've used Gyo from the beginning.
Now, I suppose if you'd been using Gyo,
you might've been able to see my aura coming and avoided it.
But what if it was with other attacks?
Do you get it? Either way is fine with me.
I only hide my aura when my opponents are not cautious.
Normally, I attach it when I punch.
That way it doesn't matter if they can see my aura or not.
That's right...
There's no point in using Gyo to see the hidden aura unless I can avoid Hisoka's attacks.
He can attach it even when you guard his attacks...
That's so nasty.
By all indications, Gon is at a disadvantage.
However, how will he handle this situation?
I must observe and assess that.
This is the moment of truth!
Well, the time for talking is over. It's about time to...
If I can't get away... I'll come at him!
Do it, Gon!
I'm scared... But if I let the fear get me here...
I won't be able to face any opponent ever again!
He's going on a rush! Gon is after Hisoka with all he's got!
Even Hisoka is unable to do anything!
Oh... Gon... Gon...
Great. You are really something.
Those eyes... That expression... That spirit...
Oh... I wish I could demolish you right now.
But, no, no. I have to wait... until the fruit is ripe.
Until it has grown high, so high... that I'd hesitate to bring it all down.
I must endure... endure... endure.
What happened?! Gon just stepped into Hisoka's punch!
All right! I blocked that one!
I'm getting used to being yanked around!
This is just starting!
Critical hit on both! Two points and a down to Hisoka!
I got right back up! I even blocked it!
That brings the score to nine to four.
Hisoka needs one point more to become a Floor Master!
However, the referee seems rather biased against Gon.
Fight!
I was about to turn this around... But I only have one point left.
You should pay more attention, Gon.
Take a look to your right.
Oh, sorry... I meant my right.
Down and hit! Two points to Hisoka!
Eleven to four! Winner by TKO, Hisoka!
This fight is over. Hisoka has won his tenth match!
With this win, Hisoka has earned the right to challenge a Floor Master!
However, Gon put up an incredible fight!
I hope he'll fight his best next time too!
That's it folks, thanks for tuning in!
I told you... Don't be careless.
While you were busy complaining with the referee,
I threw my left hand aura to the stone.
Within a moment, I activated my Bungee Gum to snap it back without missing a beat.
You've improved a lot, but you've still got a way to go.
We might get a good contest if we fight, oh, ten more times.
That is, if we were to do it here, but we won't fight here anymore.
Next time, we'll fight outside without rules.
With our lives on the line.
He's so far above me... But it's not totally unreachable.
I'll polish up my Nen... and find an ability that will rival Hisoka's.
Without fail.
Could it be... I've made you wait for me?
There's a change in the message.
Instead of "everyone with nothing better to do,"
all members have to be in Yorknew City by noon on August 30th.
Will the boss be there too?
Most likely. This operation will be the biggest we've ever had.
I should warn you...
If you flake again, the boss himself might be the one to reprimand you.
Sounds scary.
Well, I've relayed the message.
The Phantom Troupe...
I've found new toys to play with...
Maybe it's time I start hunting.
Those three cowards again! And Killua is so cool when he's mad!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Talent x Agony x Killer's Instinct!
He's a Zoldyck, all right.
