Nobunaga: Did you sell out uvo?
Answer me!
( Thunder crashing )
I’ll take that as a yes.
Move!
Franklin: Now hold on a minute.
Let’s hear what he has to say.
Nobunaga: Are you kidding? What’s there to say?
Shalnark: Just calm down, all right?
Remember what the boss said.
There are ways we can avoid the events
that are predicted in the fortune.
Franklin: Hisoka, explain to us what happened this week.
Hisoka: I cannot.
Nobunaga: Huh?
Hisoka: Sorry, but all that I can tell you
is that the first poem was accurate,
nothing more, i’m afraid.
Nobunaga: Do you hear that? Move!
Franklin: Wait. Not just yet.
Shalnark: Hisoka, why can’t you say?
Hisoka: Because telling you
would amount to saying what I cannot,
so I say nothing.
But it’s not that I won’t tell.
It’s that I can’t say more than I already have.
If you won’t accept that answer,
then for the sake of defending myself,
I have no other choice, but to fight.

( Singing in Japanese )
♪
Narrator: After seeing his fortune,
nobunaga suspects hisoka has betrayed them
and draws his sword.
( Nobunaga scoffs )
Forget it.
You’re way too much of a pain to fight.
Yeah, right!
Like that would stop me!
( Hisoka gasps )
Nobunaga: What?!
Chrollo: Nobunaga...
( Thunder rumbles )
Be quiet a moment.
Nobunaga: Huh?
Phinks: Did the boss just do that?
Machi: Probably.
Chrollo: Hisoka, I have some questions for you.
Answer them if you can.
In the fortune, tell me,
what does "secrets" mean?
Hisoka: The troupe members’ powers.
Chrollo: How many of them?
Hisoka: Seven.
No, excuse me. Eight.
You and uvogin, shizuku, machi, Franklin
pakunoda, shalnark, and I make eight.
Chrollo: Hmm.
You only learned of kortopi’s ability yesterday?
Hisoka: That’s correct.
Chrollo: What’s the chain user’s ability?
Hisoka: Can’t say.
Chrollo: Can you say what he looks like?
Hisoka: I cannot.
Chrollo: And what is your relationship to him?
Hisoka: I can’t tell you.
Chrollo: I understand.
( Thunder rumbles )
The "red-eyed customer" is the chain user,
who possesses no fewer than two abilities,
the one that he used to capture uvogin,
and the other is one which restricts hisoka’s actions.
"The sword of law," the phrase mentioned
in the second poem of the fortune,
forces a person to obey a set of rules,
such as "don’t lie to me"
or "do not reveal anything about me,"
something of that nature.
And it would also stand to reason
that he planted something that’s inside of hisoka’s body.
( Hisoka chuckles )
Chrollo: The poem starts
by mentioning a trade of sorts,
but the second half
just describes what the customer took,
and this would seem to suggest
that the sword of law was used to attack hisoka.
In other words,
hisoka was forced to betray us against his will.
( Hisoka thinking ) Oh, so good.
Chrollo: If the "sword" can curb hisoka’s speech,
it must be quite powerful indeed.
Hisoka: Yes. I knew you were brilliant.
I’m definitely going to enjoy...
Killing you.
Shalnark: Now let’s all review what we know.
First off, the enemy uses chains.
A manipulator would be using
actual, physical chains in battle.
If he’s a conjurer,
then he took down uvo by using nen chains.
Shizuku: So is there a difference between those two?
Shalnark: Yes, a big one.
A conjurer can appear to be empty-handed.
That’s a huge advantage.
Shizuku: I see. Conjurers have to do lots of visual training,
but once they have,
they can make their weapons appear at will.
Shalnark: But our real problem at the moment
is what’s restricting hisoka.
Franklin: A "sword of law" must involve rules he has to follow.
Shalnark: Yes, he’s probably forced to follow
the orders chrollo talked about.
He’s likely barred
from attacking the chain user as well,
and he would probably die if he broke his promise.
( Hisoka chuckles ) How fun.
There’s no "sword of law" anywhere in my body.
That fortune was my own creation.
I only revealed the abilities of two members, not eight.
It was a risky gamble,
one that would have turned the entire troupe against me
had the boss not figured that out.
All this to keep the spiders in yorknew city
so I can fight the boss.
If they were to leave now,
there’s no telling when i’d see him again.
Shizuku: But then what is hisoka’s second poem
supposed to mean?
It says, "the 11-legged spider longs for home.
"Five more legs shall break before it’s done,
"but from your shelter, do not roam,
for of those five, you shall be one."
Shalnark: Our hideout, that’s the temporary shelter.
If hisoka leaves here, he’ll die.
Phinks: What about the "longing for home"?
Franklin: It means that we’re homesick.
Shalnark: But if we do go back home,
then half of us won’t survive.
Phinks: Okay, I get it.
Chrollo: Uvo, hisoka,
shizuku, pakunoda, and shalnark--
one more makes half the members.
Did the fortune predict any other deaths?
Phinks: It has to be feitan, kortopi, or me.
We didn’t have all the data we needed
to get our fortunes told.
Hisoka: I’m staying right here for the time being.
There are things that I still wish to do before I die.
I won’t be leaving our shelter.

Shalnark: Well, boss? What now?
Phinks: Leave or stay?
Chrollo: Let’s stay.

Killua: No way.
Gon: Wait. But why not?
You were the one who wanted to go
and capture the phantom troupe in the first place.
Killua: Yeah, well, that was back
when it wouldn’t have been pointless.
Gon: But why is it pointless?
Killua: ’cause there’s no reward money anymore,
so you would be taking a huge risk
for absolutely nothing.
Gon: Maybe so, but it’d be worth it
to finally capture the phantom troupe, wouldn’t it?
Killua: You really need to take a hard look at your priorities.
Do you even remember why we’re here? Well, do you?
Gon: For "greed island."
Killua: Exactly!
The southernpiece auction starts in two days,
so we need to make a whole lot of money before then.
Gon: Actually, I have a great idea
about how we can get the game.
Killua: If you’ve got a plan, fill me in.
Gon: Hmm.
It’s a secret right now.
Killua: Stop being such a little tease, and spit it out!
Gon: I can’t breathe! You’re gonna kill me!
Anyway, i’ll figure out something for the game,
but for now, we should keep trailing the troupe.
Killua: Do you really have a plan to get "greed island"?
Gon: Yeah, but it isn’t guaranteed to work or anything.
Killua: Well, okay, then how likely is it to work?
Like what’s the probability of success?
Gon: Uh, maybe 70%?
Killua: 70?!
Gon: I mean maybe more like 60.
( Killua thinking ) So it’s probably 50-50.
But still, I guess that’s a lot better
than trying to earn 6 billion Jenny in two days.
Okay, fine.
I’ll let you be in charge of "greed island,"
but it’d be stupid
to try to deal with the troupe on our own.
We’ll need kurapika’s help.
We can’t do this without him.

Melody: Where are you off to, boss?
Neon: I’m going shopping.
I told you that earlier, didn’t I?

Leorio: Eh?
How’d it go?
Kurapika: I couldn’t get a straight answer.
I asked the community for any updates
regarding the auction today, but no luck.
Leorio: You should go back there
and tell them the troupe is still alive
that oughta make ’em change their minds.
Kurapika: I’m afraid that still won’t change anything.
The mafia wants to avoid any friction with meteor city.
I think it’s safe to assume
that their war on the phantom troupe is over.
Leorio: Really?
Kurapika: But that wasn’t the information
I was hoping to find.
My only real concern
is whether the auction will proceed as planned.
Leorio: Are you thinking of intercepting them?
That’s insane.
How do you think you’re gonna do that
without the mafia’s help? Huh?
Kurapika: You have it all wrong, leorio.
I’m not counting on the mafia. Far from it.
( Leorio gasps )
Gon: Hey, kurapika, let us help you, okay?
We’ll do anything. Just tell us what you need.
( Killua thinking ) Come on. Say no.
Kurapika: But the reward was rescinded.
Gon: I know.
I still want to stop the troupe.
I haven’t changed my mind about that.
( Killua thinking ) Turn him down.
Kurapika: You’d be risking your lives.
Killua: Great. Throw a little fuel on the fire.
Kurapika: Right. Then let’s discuss it.
Gon: Okay.
( Killua thinking ) He agreed?!
Der crashing )
Kurapika: First we’re gonna need someone
to watch their base and provide updates.
Killua: Yeah, I can do that.
Kurapika: We only want the woman called pakunoda.
You can ignore the others.
Killua: Okay.
Kurapika: Be incredibly careful.
Killua: Oh, don’t worry. I won’t push my luck.
Kurapika: I’m also going to need a driver to accompany me.
Leorio, can I count on you?
( Leorio gasps ) Uh, yeah.
Killua: It’ll be fine.
You’ll be totally safe if you’re with kurapika.
Leorio: Oh, knock it off, killua!
You’re making it sound like i’m terrified or something,
and i’m totally not!
Gon: Okay, what about me?
Kurapika: Create a diversion that will draw their focus.
Gon: Got it.
Killua: Hey, wait a minute!
That job sounds way too dangerous.
You really expect gon to face the troupe members again?
Kurapika: Depends on our strategy.
Killua: I’m listening. What kind of strategy?
Kurapika: A simple one, actually.
While the enemy is busy dealing with gon,
i’ll capture pakunoda and quietly make my escape.
Killua: That plan sounds a little shaky to me.
Kurapika: Perhaps, but there are too many variables
to devise anything more concrete.
Now, as for gon’s strategy, i’ll let him decide that.
Just hold their attention for at least half a second,
a full second if possible.
Gon: A full second if I can?
Kurapika: Yes.
Gon: Keep their attention for a whole second,
can I do that?
Kurapika: Gon.
You’re the key to this plan.
Can you handle it?
Gon: I’m not really sure.
I need time to think.
Kurapika: We have six hours.
If the auction proceeds as scheduled,
the spiders will make their move before then.
Killua: Hey, you never let us help you before.
Why start now?
Kurapika: Because the risk i’m taking has grown.
I must eliminate pakunoda immediately,
no matter the cost.
( Killua gasps )
( Thinking ) Wow.
Leorio: So this is why kurapika seems so different.
His resolve’s gotten even stronger.
Gon: Kurapika...
Could you use your nen dagger on me?
( Kurapika gasps )
Killua: What are you talking about?
Leorio: Yeah! Weren’t you listening?
If kurapika attacks someone who’s not a spider, he’ll die!
Kurapika: Keep your voice down.
Gon: Then I don’t get it.
Kurapika has a nen dagger in his chest, doesn’t he?
( Both gasp )
Gon: I mean, since he’s not a member
of the phantom troupe...
Kurapika: What i’m about to say
will make the risk I face even greater.
Leorio: Okay.
Let’s go, killua.
( Killua grunts )
( Gon grunts )
Kurapika: The answer to your question
is, yes, it’s possible.
♪
Each of my five chains
has a separate and unique function,
and two of them are to be used solely against the spiders.
This one is chain jail.
It restrains the target
and forces them into a state of zetsu.
This is for capturing spiders.
This one is called judgment chain.
I stab the target’s heart with this dagger
and declare a binding rule.
Break that rule, and they die.
As you’re aware,
there is a nen dagger residing in my own heart as well.
At first, I planned to use it on myself
with the condition that I would die
if I ever used my chains against anyone outside of the troupe,
but then I realized I had missed something.
What if attacking myself
meant breaking the very rule I had set?
( Thunder crashes )
♪
It was possible I would be an exception,
but there was no way for me to know for sure,
so I adjusted the rule further.
I will only use my chain jail against the phantom troupe.
That means I can use judgment chain
on anyone I choose.
But that chain has a condition, too.
Gon: But what kind of condition?
Kurapika: This chain can only be used
when my eyes are Scarlet.
Gon: Hey, wait! You can change them yourself?
Kurapika: It took practice.
It was a while before I could turn them Scarlet at will.
I mastered the power in my middle finger
by vowing never to release the chain
and to always risk death.
The one in my little finger was resolved by my unique nature.
When my eyes turn Scarlet is when I become a specialist,
and I gain the ability
to use any power i’ve learned at full strength.
I’m not sure what all that means,
but what about your nen dagger? You can use it on me, can’t you?
Kurapika: Yes.
Gon: Go ahead.
Set whatever rule you want.
Kurapika: You are dedicated.
I appreciate that.
( Gasps )
Killua: Just curious.
Can you make three of those daggers?
Leorio: You can just cancel it, right,
erase the rule as soon as the mission’s over?
Gon: Killua! Leorio!
Leorio: Killua and I had a little talk,
and since we’re working together...
Killua: We should risk together.
Both: What do you say?
Kurapika: The answer to both is yes,
but all three of you are making a big mistake.
I want you to know
I never had any intention of using my dagger on you guys.
Gon: Well, then, why did you put yourself in danger
by telling us your secret?
Kurapika: I wanted to thank you, gon.
No, I wanted to thank all of you for your resolve,
and if one of you ends up revealing my secret,
which I doubt, I still won’t regret a thing.
