kono taiyou wa yoru mo kageyaite yume wo miru
This sun is shining even at night, dreaming
soshite isogu kimi no me ni
And then you who was hurrying
yakitsuite hanarenai
Burned it into your eyes and it never came back
owarinaku tsuzuku uta
This song that continues without end
omoi sae koete yuku
Goes beyond even our thoughts
kimi no me ni utsuru youni
I've left open the depths of my heart
mune no oku aketa mama
So they can be reflected in your eyes
No good. He's not answering.
Maybe there's something preventing him from picking up.
You know what I just realized?
If things like this are getting around to us,
Kurapika is probably on top of their moves already.
You're probably right.
He got a job as a bodyguard, right?
Yup.
I bet he's protecting some VIP in the criminal underworld
since he's after the Scarlet Eyes.
Then maybe he got dragged into what happened at the underground auction.
"Dragged into" wouldn't be correct in his case.
Since the Phantom Troupe is involved in this, he probably dove in head first.
He'd have some counter-measures.
Who knows, he could've already caught one or two of them by now.
I hope you're right.
My dad...
He once eliminated one of the Phantom Troupe for a job.
It's one of the rare occasions I heard him complain about a job.
He said it wasn't worth the money.
That is actually the biggest compliment we can give to our targets.
I remember him saying to us,
"Stay away from the Phantom Troupe."
That was around three years ago, I think.
Did you ever tell Kurapika that story?
No. What would be the point?
So the question is what are the three of us going to do?
Exactly.
It's two billion jenny per target... But they are the Phantom Troupe.
I'm gonna do it.
Because I won't gain anything if I back down.
What? You wanna split up and search for them?
So you got a problem with my strategy or something?
I'm not saying that.
It's just there's the matter of probability.
We are talking about thieves here.
I don't think it's very likely they'd come out in a crowd
when they know the entire Mafia is looking for them.
And moreover, there's no guarantee they are still in Yorknew City.
But you saw it too, right?
The Hunter website charges 100 million for information on the Spiders.
No way we can afford that!
And probably the specific information of each member would come with additional fees too.
Won't that leave us with no other choice but to find them on our own?
Yeah!
Wait...
This is Point A. No sign of the target.
How about you?
It's the same here at Point B. No target in sight. Killua?
How about you?
Yeah... the same.
No sign of the Spiders at all.
Four hours of staking out and nothing to show for it.
Well, we did figure as much.
Maybe we should try searching for them using a grid pattern.
We need a lot more hands to do mass searches like that.
Either way, we need more information...
You guys had any luck getting a hold of Kurapika?
Nope. Seems he's turned his phone off.
Too bad. He would have had much more information to help us.
That is, if he would wanna tell us anything.
What do you mean? Of course, he'd wanna tell us!
I don't know.
I think he doesn't want our help with this for various reasons.
Otherwise, he would've called us by now.
In any case, for now, let's just try this on our own.
I have a feeling that when we really need Kurapika's help,
we'll be able to reach him.
And when he really needs our help, he would call us for sure.
All right then...
Let's check our Home Codes to see if anyone's left any messages that might give us a lead.
Okay.
Aw man, I think this is it!
Amazing! It's really pure white! So all these are eggs?
That sure is gross!
I shall have peace of mind at all times.
I shall share my happiness and sadness with all my brethren.
I shall sing eternal praise to the people of Kurta...
On the Scarlet Eyes, I swear this.
Sorry about the wait.
I have one question.
You are... far more than an average Nen-user.
There's a lot of power in that chain.
I feel an extraordinary will from your Nen.
Who are you?
In order to answer your question...
I must ask you something.
Do you remember the ones you've killed?
I remember some.
If they left some kind of lasting impression, I don't forget them.
It depends on how good they were.
So it's revenge?
Who are you avenging?
The Kurta Clan.
Never heard of 'em.
We are a small group of people with the Scarlet Eyes from Lukso Province.
Five years ago, your Troupe attacked us.
Scarlet Eyes? What's that? Some kind of jewel?
I'm sorry... But I have no recollection of them.
But if it was five years ago, I would've been involved for sure.
Heh, it just doesn't ring a bell right now.
When you kill people who have nothing to do with you...
What... What are you thinking? What are you feeling?
Nothing really.
Scum. You'll pay for your sins with your life!
I can't stop killing because I encounter guys like you once in a while.
You know what gives me the most pleasure?
Taking someone like you
who comes for revenge and smacking them down!
That chain is dangerous!
I don't know what kind of trick he used...
but the amount of Nen infused in that chain is incredible.
The only thing I can do is play offense!
Did I get you?
He surprises me.
He still had the energy to strike back after taking that punch.
But his left arm's busted!
He's not hurt?!
Only Enhancers can reinforce their flesh with enough aura
to block my fist!
Who the hell is this guy?
A question.
Was that punch... the best you could do?
Don't worry, that was about twenty percent.
Now I'm coming at you with fifty percent!
Why you...
You seem to be confident in your agility...
However—
I'll regret not using my chain to constrain you while I still had the chance, right?
Spare me your excuses and come at me with full force.
Don't waste my time!
All right then...
Full throttle!
His aura's gone.
He's using In.
I'll destroy you this time!
When my Big Bang Impact is at full power, no one can stop it.
Though I have to compliment you.
That was supposed to snap your backbone.
But you were quick to react.
You must've noticed the small changes in the dust out of the corner of your eye.
It seems... I underestimated you as well.
I didn't think a fighter like you would remain calm enough
in the middle of battle to make full use of In.
However, you're not the only one who can use In.
This chain has been conjured out with my Nen ability.
Therefore, it too can be made invisible using In.
So you've always kept that chain conjured
to make it seem like a real chain?!
If I pretend to be a Manipulator with a real chain,
the enemy will only watch out for the chain that is visible.
And you've proven that that is, in fact, the case.
The capture is complete.
Has he mastered his abilities as both an Enhancer and a Conjurer to the max?
It's not possible.
One should be able to achieve 100% mastery
only in the type they were born with.
You look confused about this.
As a parting gift, I'll let you in on a secret.
Right now... I'm a Specialist.
Kurapika, you...
Your aura increased exponentially when your eyes became scarlet.
Try the Water Divination again as you are. It could be...
I become a Specialist only when my eyes turn scarlet.
Those eyes... Now I remember!
Their eyes turned red when they got mad!
They were hiding out in some backwoods.
Leader took quite a liking to those eyes.
That was a big job. They were pretty powerful...
So you're the last one, eh?
This is getting me pumped up!
Let's see what's more powerful, your grudge or my strength.
Come on!
It's apparent that you were born to be an Enhancer.
That's the limit of your power.
I'll only tell you one more time: let it go.
Even if you are successful, you have nothing to gain from it.
You'll only be left with emptiness and blood on your hands.
You don't have the strength to carry that burden.
This is your last chance.
Let it go. Forget revenge.
Let it go.
It won't break?! What are you...
Now, as a Specialist,
I'm able to utilize 100% of all types of Nen.
100% of every type?!
Even my broken arm,
by simply enhancing my healing ability, can be...
...fixed.
Those bones that were broken into pieces healed completely?!
This chain, my Chain Jail...
strips the Spiders it captures of their freedom
and enforces a state of Zetsu upon them.
So that's why I couldn't produce my aura.
Prisoners of the chain can only break it with brute force.
If you, the strongest in the Troupe, are unable to break it...
Then the others will not be able to either.
Enforced Zetsu!
This is really dangerous. Nen draws its energy from aura.
When it's shut off, you have no more power.
An ability to cancel out Nen abilities! He thought it all out.
It appears that my Enhanced fist is a little stronger
than your unprotected body.
This is precious information.
Now I know I can beat all Troupe members with my bare fists once I capture them.
I'll have you tell me everything you know.
Where are the others?
Kill me...
What kind of abilities do they possess?
Kill me.
It's disgusting.
The noises, the physical contact, the smell of blood...
It all makes me sick.
How can you do such acts without thinking or feeling anything?!
Answer me!
Kill me.
This is your last chance.
I've stabbed your heart with the Stake of Retribution.
If you break the rules I set,
the chain will activate immediately and crush your heart!
The rule is you have to answer my questions truthfully.
If you do, I'll let you live a while longer.
Where are the other members?
Go to hell, you idiot.
It's all right, even if we're a little...
E-jan chotto ochikon...
No results.
What?
Same with me.
No good information left on my Home Code or in my inbox.
No good, huh...
The two billion jenny reward for each one of the Spiders is appealing,
but it's tough to even find them.
You think?
What you need most in order to find a bounty
is a wide network of informants, after all.
That being said, we've already paid the five million jenny.
I don't think there are any other ways to make billions of money.
I doubt if anyone will come forward with information
unless we give them some reward.
But when we do that, we get an explosive increase in fake info.
We'll waste so much time just trying to figure them out.
We're not totally out of luck here.
Are you serious, Leorio?
Yeah. We are gonna limit our inquiry to decisive information only.
For example, like if they know the current whereabouts of the Troupe.
Oh, yeah...
We'd still get endless fake information.
And it won't be just the obvious ones, but honest mistakes too.
Regarding that, we can narrow their numbers down
by where the witness has seen the Troupe.
We'll intentionally leave out the information on the location.
Then if we get a lead that says they were spotted in Yorknew City,
it has a better chance of being accurate.
That's true.
But there's no guarantee that the Troupe is still here.
Yeah, but it's highly likely that they are still around.
Because transportation via land, sea, air, and underground
are all under Mafia surveillance.
It'd be impossible for them to get out of here with the stolen goods.
I see your point.
Hey, Killua, the Southernbees Auction starts on the 6th, doesn't it?
Uh, yeah.
Then we still have three days!
If we catch even one of them in that time,
and if we could get him to tell us where the rest of them are hiding,
it's possible to draw them all out.
Whoa, that's uncharacteristically extreme of you, Gon.
For this to work, we'd hafta offer a large reward.
Large reward?
But all we have left is the diamond worth three million.
On the message boards, there are people offering reliable information for eight million.
Then I say we offer fifteen million!
Where the heck are we gonna get that kinda money?!
A chain-user, huh?
He's probably a Manipulator or a Conjurer.
Though Uvogin's strength can dominate just about anyone,
someone of that type is likely to beat him in a one-on-one fight.
Conjurers often enhance the items they create with a unique ability.
Depending on the ability, it might cancel out Uvogin's strength.
And a Manipulator holds the danger of manipulating him.
This is what we're going to do.
We'll wait until dawn and if Uvo isn't back by then...
we'll change plans.
It can access the Hunter website. That confirms it's authentic.
With the license as collateral, we can lend you 100 million jenny.
Please repay in full by September 10th. We won't charge you any interest.
Okay.
Do you know what you are doing?!
You're actually pawning your license!
But that's because I can't sell it!
Once it gets out there, you might never get it back, you know!
Yeah, but a bank would never lend us this much money,
and loan sharks would charge us high interest!
Well then, Master Gon...
Please sign your name at the bottom.
Yes.
He's serious!
There!
Okay.
100 million jenny will be deposited into the account you've designated
by this time tomorrow.
Thank you!
All right, there's definitely no turning back now!
We're goin' for it!
Y-Yeah.
Let's go.
This is it, guys, we're taking a big risk!
So we gotta stay alert!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Gon x Treasure x Dangerous Man!
Let's cash in with Nen!
