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
This boy.
So, little boy...
Do you know the chain dude?
What?
A Nen-user who's able to conjure a chain.
We've been looking around for him.
I think you're working together, and you've been following us
because he asked you to, isn't that so?
I don't know who you're talking about.
We have our own reasons for following you.
I just need a split second of an opening to get away.
What do you think?
I don't know.
If he's playing dumb, then he's awfully good at it.
I'd better make sure.
First question. Why were you following us?
And keep your answers short.
I guess a half-baked lie isn't going to work.
The Mafia put a huge bounty on your heads.
A bunch of websites are offering a reward just for your whereabouts.
Second question. Who taught you how to shadow?
We weren't exactly "shadowing" you.
We were just using a Nen technique called Zetsu, which shuts off your aura.
I'm training to become a professional Hunter.
Who taught you?
An assistant master of Shingen Ryu.
Third question.
Do you know of a Nen-user whose weapon is a chain?
A chain?
He's either a Conjurer or a Manipulator.
Maybe you could tell us if your master wears a chain around his right hand?
I don't know him.
My master is an Enhancer,
and all he ever taught me were the four basic exercises.
All right. You obviously can't tell us what you don't know.
I just have one last question.
You get two choices, so think very carefully before you answer.
Would you rather die now, or later? It's your choice.
You have three seconds to answer.
It's no use. Don't even bother trying.
Yes. Okay, I understand. We'll be right there.
Well, little boy. Your friend surrendered without putting up a fight.
Is it okay that they're showing us all this?
Welcome to our hideout.
Better play dumb.
So, Hisoka is a Spider, after all.
Well, he's taken a liking to Gon, so there's a chance he might help us.
But I'm not gonna let on that I know him.
Oops.
What is it? Is there someone here that you recognize?
Well, no, not really.
Yeah, there is! It's that girl from before!
Is this true, Shizuku? Do you know them?
Nope. I've never seen them.
Oh, I remember. He's the kid who arm wrestled.
What are you talking about?
You arm wrestled him a couple of days ago and lost.
Don't bother. Shizuku has no memory of things she forgets.
You're lying!
I may not be the strongest here, but I wouldn't lose to a kid!
Well, at the time you were using your right hand.
But why would I do that? I'm left handed!
Ah, never mind. I must be thinking of something else.
Obviously.
Wow. Did you really beat Shizuku in arm wrestling?
Uh huh.
I can't believe she was a member of the Phantom Troupe!
All right.
I'm gonna take you on.
One more time.
Ready... Go!
One more time.
Ready... Go!
Hey, in terms of arm wrestling, where would you say I rank among the Spiders.
Probably around seventh or eighth.
You're not weak, but you're not one of the strongest either.
Yeah, well...
The strongest arm wrestler among us was a guy known as Uvogin.
But it seems he was killed by the chain dude.
How many times do we have to tell you, we don't know who he is!
Listen, kid!
The next time you speak without permission... I'm gonna hurt you!
One more time.
Uvo was your typical Enhancer. A very simple-minded guy.
But he was a real stickler about time.
He used to slap Franklin and me around whenever we were late.
I could never beat him in a fistfight.
We've known each other since before the Phantom Troupe was started.
I'm closer to him than anyone here.
H-He never... would've...
He never, ever would've lost a fair fight!
That chain-user must've ambushed him or something!
I won't let him get away with it!
I'll find him no matter how many people I have to kill!
This chain-user obviously has a big grudge against us.
All we really know is that he was recently hired by the Mafia's Nostrade family.
A grudge against the Troupe...
Recently hired...
No, it can't be!
You might not know him personally, but maybe you've got some info on him.
Think about it real hard.
Don't hold back, tell us everything you know right now.
I don't know anything.
And even if I did, I'd never tell you guys.
You cry for your friends, huh?
I thought you guys neither bled nor cried.
So how come you didn't have any of this compassion...
even just a little bit...
for all those countless people you hurt and killed?!
You! Too cocky.
Gon!
Move... and I'll kill you.
Answer question. You know chain dude or not?
Like I just said...
I don't have a thing to tell you guys!
Feitan.
Don't do it.
Don't do what?
The thing you were just about to do.
You know what I do?
You were going to break his arm, right?
First, his fingers. I rip nail off.
I don't care what it was, just don't do it.
Why you give me orders? I no need to obey.
Take it easy, Nobunaga.
I hope you haven't forgotten the rules.
No fighting with other members.
Yeah, I know that. We settle our disputes with the coin.
Tail.
Heads.
Heads it is.
Let him go, Feitan.
So what do you think we should do with them then?
They haven't given us any useful information on the chain-user.
If they don't know anything, we might as well let them go.
What do you think, Pakunoda?
I checked them out thoroughly on the way over here.
And as far as I can tell, neither one of them knows anything.
Are you sure?
Yeah. They have no memory of the chain-user.
I guess your hunch was wrong for once.
That's odd.
But if Pakunoda says so, then I guess that's how it is.
Gon, did they do anything to you on the ride over here?
Not really.
They just asked me a few questions, that's all.
Yeah, same here.
She examined us without us even knowing it?
But how did she do it?
From the looks of it,
they seem to trust Pakunoda's analysis completely.
She has something beyond just a hunch.
What did she do to us?
They have no memory of the chain dude.
"Memory"?
Memory!
But how could she know?
What about you?
Do you have any information on a Nen-user who walks around with a chain?
She has the ability to read memories just by touching a person!
If that's true, we're definitely in trouble!
I didn't know who the chain-user was then...
but now I've figured it out.
If she checks me again, we're doomed.
Since they're not related to the chain-user,
we might as well let them go.
Yeah, no point in keeping them around.
Wait, we can't be sure.
Someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
I don't think we should release them until after we figure out who they get their orders from.
But even if these two are working for someone, it's not the chain-user.
I think that guy works alone anyway.
So you and Nobunaga are on the same page, then.
He can get all the information he wants through the Nostrade family.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Our objective is to find the chain-user,
so let's not concern ourselves with anyone else.
Hear that? Good for you. You go home now.
No.
They aren't going anywhere.
Hey, kid...
Join the Spiders.
No way.
We could be partners.
I'd rather die than be one of you!
You hate us that much? You're an Enhancer, aren't you?
So what if I am?
I just had a feeling you might be.
I'll keep them here until the Leader gets back.
I'm going to recommend him for membership.
You can't be serious.
Leader never go for it.
Do whatever you want.
But it's not gonna be our problem if they manage to escape.
Yeah, you can babysit them by yourself.
Why aren't the Mafia still chasing us?
Yeah, we should've seen them by now since we've been moving around quite a bit.
Are two kids really all we have to show for a day's work?
Maybe the Mafia gave up.
No, they wouldn't give up that easily.
They're probably just preparing the next phase of their operation.
Then we should change our plans too.
We were going to get information out of the Mafia
by using the chain-user as bait.
In that case, I suggest we start going after them.
I've printed off a list from the Hunter website which has photos of Nostrade's employees
that we should all take a good look at.
Especially important are the five people on the first page.
Apparently, they have been working as bodyguards for the boss's daughter.
His daughter?
These are the guys who kidnapped Uvo.
Although, he said none of them were the chain-user.
Hisoka!
No thanks.
What?
Well, you just said the chain-user's not on the list.
So why would I need photos of five people I'm not looking for?
Yeah, but you never know.
Just forget it.
If he says he doesn't want it, then don't bother.
She's right. And by the way, you should cross out a few of these guys.
Uvo already killed them.
I'm just saying that since we don't know the identity of the chain-user,
we have to try and find someone who does.
Let's work together in pairs to find at least one person on this list.
We'll meet back here at ten o'clock tonight, okay?
Hang on. Nobunaga's staying here to babysit.
So who am I with?
Well, that leaves ten of us, so just partner up with the odd man out.
Odd man out?
Hi!
This really hurts!
Hey...
You know who this arm wrestling kid is, don't you?
And if you do, why do you act like you don't?
That was stupid of me.
If I had made any sort of move,
Hisoka would've killed me in a second.
I couldn't move back there.
If they were going to kill Gon, could I have stopped them?
You couldn't have. It would've been impossible.
No.
All that matters is can you kill your opponent?
No.
If you know you can't...
No...
Then simply don't try.
No...
Never fight a superior enemy, even if it costs you a friend.
Stop it!
Oh, you're scaring me.
You look like you're all fired up.
I'm warning you...
Step any closer...
and you're dead.
Killua!
Huh, really?
You think the kid's like Uvo?
Yeah.
Both of them don't hold back their feelings.
And when they're mad, they get so single-minded.
And there's something else they have in common.
Their powers are maximized when used for the sake of other people.
Uvo liked to fight one-on-one...
But he was strongest when he and Nobunaga went up against a crowd.
He was?
Yeah. Uvo never would've admitted it,
but he always worked better when he had someone to look out for.
So working with someone weaker made him work harder?
Well, I guess that would be one way of looking at it.
You don't mince words, do you?
But on the other hand, Nobunaga was actually better at fighting one-on-one.
It is his specialty.
So whenever he had to fight alongside Uvo,
they'd start fighting each other.
But that's not to say they were unhappy about it.
It's impossible. We can't take this guy head on.
We'll have think of another way to get outta here.
There's only one exit.
And only one small window, just to let some light in.
How are we gonna get him away from the door?
It's getting dark.
It'll be even harder to escape now.
I wonder how things are going with Leorio?
I hope he was able to find Zepile and get things done.
Hey, Killua, are you all right?
Yeah.
Oh yeah!
Do you remember the last trick Zepile told us about?
It wasn't autopsy or cauterization... It was something else.
I don't remember.
Osmosis? No, that wasn't it. It was something else.
Okay, let's see...
Autopsy is when you have a genuine vault but fake treasure...
Cauterization was the one where you melt the old glue and...
Gon...
I'll be the bait.
While I distract him, you make a run for it.
What are you talking about?
Don't even bother, it'll never work.
I know you're good enough to recognize the difference in our abilities.
You won't catch me off guard.
That's obvious, I know that.
He's got the only exit covered and has a clear view of the room.
We can't talk or move without him noticing.
He's completely focused.
He's probably a master of iaido, the art of drawing the blade,
striking, and re-sheathing in a single motion.
As soon as I move into the reach of his blade, I'm dead for sure.
But that's what gives it meaning.
You can't do it, can you?
Shut up!
I won't know until I try.
What are you thinking?!
I'll stop his first strike, even if it kills me.
And that should give you enough time to get outta here.
What the hell was that for?!
Stop thinking only about yourself!
Huh?!
You shouldn't talk about dying so lightly!
Are you serious?!
You were talking like that earlier today when you said
you'd rather die than become one of the Spiders!
I can talk like that, but you can't!
If we're not prepared to die, we'll never get out of here, you idiot!
So don't start telling me what I should and shouldn't do!
That's right, I'm the idiot, and you know everything!
You're wasting your time if you expect an Enhancer to listen to reason.
You guys crack me up. Don't worry, I won't hurt you.
Just sit tight...
I know you're serious. You don't have to prove anything.
We'll sort this all out when the Leader returns.
Then, if he doesn't think you're Spider material, we'll let you go.
But try to escape and I'll cut you open.
So don't make me draw my sword...
or else you'll be killed.
Oh, I remember now! Ostomy! Ostomy!
Cauterization, autopsy, and the third one was ostomy!
You know!
You're the one who figured out how it was done, remember?!
Osto... my?
Remember now?
Yeah! That!
I remember! I remember!
I know! I can't believe it took us so long to come up with it!
Now that we got ourselves a plan!
Let's go!
Are you sure?! You'll only get yourselves killed.
Because when I'm in a fight, I don't show mercy or hold back.
You fools!
They're smashing through the wall!
When the exit's blocked...
...open another hole!
Killua, let's knock that knot off his head!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Kurapika x Assassination Team x Zoldyck!
Hey, Nobunaga! Better get your Nen checked!
