I’m happy for you!
Kurapika: Huh?
Gon: The spiders are dead, and that means
that you can finally focus on your main goal, right?
You have to go out there and find them,
the eyes of your people.
Kurapika: Gon...
( Gon grunts )
And if there’s anything we can do to help you out,
just--
( killua chuckles )
Gon: Why, you--
killua: You did it first. I was just getting revenge.
Gon: I didn’t do it on purpose!
Killua: You did so, you big liar.

Leorio: What are you so upset about, huh?
We sold one piece
and walked away with a cool 355 million Jenny.
Zepile: That’s the problem.
It could have sold for a lot more.
- Leorio: We got plenty. - Zepile: Wrong.
We could have gotten well over 400 million for it
if we’d just waited.
Bad luck, that’s what it is.
Leorio: You sure take this seriously.
Besides, even if we did get more,
it’s not like you would have seen any of it.
Zepile: That’s not the issue here.
Leorio: If we take the money and run,
that’s 170 million apiece.

Gon: Wow, it’s been a while since we were all together.
Leorio: Yeah.
Gon: Where’s Mr. Zepile?
Leorio: Oh, he went back over to pick up the check
and find some more loot to sell.
Hey, you know something?
Kurapika: What?
Leorio: You’ve got this intensity about you.
Your presence is a whole lot stronger than it was.
Kurapika: Really? Well, I wish I could say the same for you.
Leorio: And you’ve also gotten a lot more annoying.
( Elevator chimes )
Oh, yeah.
I heard you killed a troupe member.
How the hell did you do that
when you only learned nen recently?
Kurapika: If the reason you’re asking
is that you’re planning to catch the spiders yourself,
you can stop.
Gon: That’s not the only reason.
You’ve mastered nen, and we want to learn how, too,
not just to catch the spiders,
but because we’ll need it in the future.
Kurapika: You don’t want my advice.
I’m afraid it won’t do you any good, anyway.
Gon: Why not?
Kurapika: Because my power
can only be used against the troupe.
( All gasp )
( Thunder rumbles )
Gon: A contract with conditions?
Kurapika: Yes. Your mental state
has an incredibly powerful effect on your nen.
The more determined you are, the more powerful the nen,
but the risk incurred is great as well.
In exchange for stronger nen,
I vowed that I would only use it against the spiders,
and I established a rule for myself.
Leorio: Oh, yeah? What kind of rule is it?
Kurapika: My chains must be used exclusively on the spiders,
or I will die as a result.
( All gasp )
Leorio: Hold on!
What do you mean?
Kurapika: There is a nen dagger in my heart.
If I break the rule,
the blade will Pierce through, killing me.
The rule proves my resolve.
That’s the contract with conditions.
My ability is the product of my pure and unadulterated hatred.
It will only work when used on the spiders.
I’m telling you this, because I trust you.
Don’t tell anyone else.
Killua: What the hell?
Why would you tell us something that’s so damn important?!
Kurapika: Huh?
I’m not really sure.
Maybe I felt dispirited,
because their leader is dead now.
Leorio: It’ll be fine if we keep it quiet.
Killua: No, it won’t.
One of the surviving members has the power to read memories.
If the spiders find out about this, kurapika is a dead man.
Gon: But she didn’t learn anything last time.
Killua: You’re right, but that’s only because we didn’t know
kurapika was the chain user back then.
( Gon gasps )
Leorio: Okay, so that means
we just have to stay away from them.
Since they’ve already checked you out,
they think that you’re clean.
Killua: There’s also a guy called nobunaga.
He’s really dangerous. He’s looking for kurapika,
and he’s still trying to get me and gon.
Leorio: But he doesn’t know that you guys know kurapika,
- does he? - Killua: No.
Leorio: Well, then, what’s the problem?
Just keep your distance from the memory reader,
you and everyone else who knows kurapika’s the chain user.
Kurapika: I’ve also been in contact with hisoka.
- ( Leorio gasps ) - Gon: With hisoka?
Kurapika: He knows that i’m the chain user as well.
We had made a pact, but his target,
the leader of the phantom troupe,
is dead and gone now,
so I have no idea what he’ll do.

Nobunaga: Hold on just a second.
What do you mean, we’re leaving?
Chrollo: Just like I told you, we’re leaving tonight.
We’ll take the rest of the treasure,
and that’s the end of it.
Nobunaga: Not yet.
Chrollo: What else is there?
Nobunaga: We have to find the chain user.
Chrollo: You’re obsessed.
Nobunaga: Damn right, I am.
We haven’t avenged uvo’s death yet,
and you want us to just pack and leave?
He’s gonna be bored in the next world
if we don’t send the chain user to join him.
Franklin: Why don’t you cut it out, nobunaga?
The boss gave an order.
Nobunaga: Right. Boss’s orders are absolute.
But i’ve got to wonder,
are you really speaking as our leader, chrollo?
Franklin: Nobunaga, knock it off!
Nobunaga: Shut up! I’m trying to talk to chrollo here!

Chrollo: Nobunaga, I need you to answer my questions.
When’s your birthday?

Chrollo: I asked what day you were born.
Nobunaga: September 8, in the year 70.
Chrollo: Blood type?
Nobunaga: B-positive.
Chrollo: Name?
Nobunaga: Nobunaga hazama. You know that!
What is this? What do you wanna know next, huh?
Chrollo: Nothing. That’s enough.
Write it all down here.
Nobunaga: Write it down?
You could have said that to begin with.
Huh?
What the hell is this?
Chrollo: Your fortune in verse,
100% accurate.
I can tell the future,
a skill I stole from nostrade’s daughter.
Nobunaga: And you’re sure that it’s completely accurate?
Chrollo: Each of the four verses
predicts what’s going to happen in that week.
( Chorus vocalizing )
Nobunaga: "Forever set, a precious moon is lost.
"The others mourn him with ceremony grand.
"The wolf alone misses out on morning frost
"and seeks frost moon’s shadow across the land.
"Harvest barren, wine spilled,
"lovers slumber beside the bloody Scarlet eyes.
"Though cut in half shall be your number,
unhindered the spider flies."
Chrollo: This is the fortune
nostrade’s daughter gave me yesterday.
Nobunaga: It says that a precious moon has been lost,
so is that...
Chrollo: It’s uvo.
( Nobunaga gasps )
Chrollo: That girl didn’t know anything about uvo.
In fact, she’d never heard of any of us.
Yet she was able to predict
our attack on the mafia auction,
and there were fans of her fortune-telling
among the ten dons.
Franklin: I get it.
That’s why, the first time we attacked,
somebody had already moved the merchandise
to a new location.
Shizuku: Kinda curious. What was nobunaga’s fortune?
Chrollo: My hand wrote it itself.
I have no idea what it is.
Nobunaga can tell you.
Shalnark: Well? What’s it say?
Nobunaga: Come next week, five of us will most likely die.
Franklin: Oh, yeah? Does it say which five?
Nobunaga: No. I can’t figure any of this out.
Well, I kind of understand the second poem,
the spider losing half its number.
Phinks: The spider would be us, wouldn’t it?
Nobunaga: Yeah, and the limbs would be the members,
so half would be six.
That means five more after uvo.
Chrollo: The very same line appeared in my fortune, too.
Shizuku: Let me see that.
Hey, boss, do you think you can tell my fortune?
♪
"Forever set, a precious moon is lost.
"The others mourn him with ceremony grand.
"But lonely not be the moon of frost.
"Soon your blood will join his grave of sand.
"In the chamber of treasure ill-gotten,
"there is no choice but endless sleep.
"Your greatest fear should solitude be,
lest upon your lonesome form, he creep."
Just as I expected.
Looks like i’m gonna die next week.
Franklin: Seriously?
Shizuku: Yeah. You see?
I only got two poems in mine.
And look. Pakunoda and shalnark are gonna die, too.
- Pakunoda: Oh? - Shalnark: Really?
Nobunaga: How do you know it’s pakunoda and shalnark?
I think the months mentioned here
refer to phantom troupe members.
The frost moon is November.
Uvo’s the eleventh member, the eleventh month.
Chrollo: Exactly.
The harvest moon is in September,
the wine moon is August,
and the lover’s moon is June.
This refers to members six, eight, and nine.
And "barren" is mentioned, which I believe implies death.
Shizuku: I’m just not certain who "Scarlet eyes" refers to.
Phinks: Well, it isn’t one of us.
I’m guessing it might be a reference to the chain user.
- ( Nobunaga gasps ) - Pakunoda: Scarlet eyes.
I remember now, the clan whose eyes turned red.
Feitan: Then, there was a survivor?
Shalnark: So it would seem.
Kortopi: Will he die, too?
Phinks: It’s hard to tell.
It doesn’t say anything, other than the guy is bloody.
Shalnark: Nobunaga, this means if we fight the chain user,
we’ll suffer serious casualties and lose half our members.
Your ability can be replaced as easily as mine,
but not shizuku’s or pakunoda’s.
The troupe can’t afford to lose either of them.
( Thunder crashes )
Chrollo: Today is Saturday of the first week,
so if we leave now and return home, then that means
we can avoid running into the chain user next week.
The best thing about these fortunes
is that, if we pay attention,
they tell us how to avoid catastrophe.
If we leave here without fighting the chain user,
this fortune is 100% certain not to come to pass.
Chrollo: Nobunaga, you and uvo were our attack unit.
You were already prepared to die.
I believe that both of you
accepted that role of your own free will.
Nobunaga: Yeah, that’s right.
Chrollo: Shizuku, paku, and shal collect intelligence.
They provide our support.
You could even call them our lifelines,
and your duty is to serve as their shield.
You agree with that assessment?
Nobunaga: Yeah. Yeah, I do.
Hisoka: Wait.
You should tell the other members’s fortunes now.
It’s quite possible that they could provide
additional clues for how to avoid the prophecy.
Killua: What do we do?
Now that we all know about kurapika’s secret,
it’s dangerous to wait.
If gon or I get captured again,
we won’t be able to escape,
but we do have kurapika with us now,
so we need to take them out before they can recover or run,
and we know where their current base is.
If we take too long, it’ll give ’em a chance to get away.
That means we need to move fast.
They could be making a getaway plan as we speak.
We don’t have time to overthink it.
That woman, the one who reads memories, is a threat,
but now that their leader’s dead,
i’ll do what gon suggests
and focus on recovering my brethren’s eyes.
Killua: Seriously?
Kurapika: Yeah.
Killua: And you’re sure about this?
Leorio: Look, it’s obvious he’s made up his mind.
You can try all you want. There’s no changing it now.

Kurapika: I’m sorry.
But thanks. I do appreciate the information.

Hisoka: The corpses were fake.
Gon: Kurapika?
Kurapika: The corpses were fake.
Leorio: You mean the troupe members?
Kurapika: Yeah, the ones we thought were dead aren’t!
Of course. A conjurer could have pulled that off easily.
Damn it! Why didn’t I realize this sooner?!

Melody: The community’s called off the hunt
for the remaining troupe members.
Kurapika: What?
Melody: We just received word
that they come from meteor city.
Kurapika: The troupe? Really?
Melody: And apparently the order
came directly from the ten dons themselves.
They even took the offer for reward money off the table.
( Thunder crashes )
Killua: The reward’s been rescinded?
Seriously?
Kurapika: So the phantom troupe comes from meteor city.
Leorio: It makes sense.
Their identities are still unknown,
and the cops haven’t caught them yet.
That would explain all that.
Gon: What is meteor city?
Leorio: A place populated by people who don’t exist,
for all intents and purposes.
Gon: There’s a whole city like that?
Leorio: Yeah.
Officially, the town has a population of zero,
but it’s said that there are
at least 10 million people who live there.
♪
It started off as a dump over 1,500 years ago.
You’re allowed to dump anything there.
Whatever trash was thrown away,
that’s what people lived off of,

No matter what’s left there,
the residents take it in without a second thought.
I’ve heard people from meteor city
share a bond thinner than water,
but at the same time thicker than blood.
Kurapika: Also there’s an organization
that provides gold and weapons
under the pretext of dumping garbage,
namely the mafia community.
- Killua: What? - Gon: What do you mean?
The mafia is hunting the troupe.
Kurapika: In return,
the mafia picks new recruits from among the residents.
Leorio: These are people who basically don’t exist, remember?
Perfect for criminal activity.
The troupe managed to destroy
the intimate business relationship
that used to exist between the mafia and meteor city.
Even after all that’s happened, the mafia wants to retain
the relationship with meteor city.
