Bopobo: Who the hell are you guys?
Look, this is a private party.
So get lost!
We’re only here to talk.
Would you please leave this town?

I don’t care how many of you attack me at once.
If you can knock me out of this ring,
then i’ll take you guys over to see our boss.
wait, knock you out of the ring? Is that all?

You’re stronger than I thought.

I give up! I lose!
Just let me go!
( Groans )
( Panting )
Gon: He said he lost already.
Why didn’t you let him go?
He knew what the rules are.
You lose if you step outside the ring.
Anything else, including a forfeit,
is completely meaningless.
You kicked me,
then stepped outside the ring too.
So you lost as well.
( Groans ) oh, no.
Hold on a second.
Let’s start over.
Don’t bother, gon.
You’re probably eager to try out
your big ultimate move,
but hold off.
not in front of all these people.
Here, i’ll handle it.
What’s this?
Are you gonna team up on me?
Let me borrow this.
Huh?

You wouldn’t!

Razor: That so?

Then let’s have a contest, shall we?
If you win,
we’ll leave the island peacefully.
It’ll be up to us to choose what the contest will be.
All right?
And what if we lose?
What’ll happen to us then?
Oh, nothing really.
You’ll just have to leave instead.
Simple as that.
Fine. Let’s go.
It’s an athletics contest.
where each member will challenge you to a match
in their specialty sport.
One win each.
First to eight wins is the Victor.
My challenge is first up,
and i’m gonna go with boxing.
Well, who wants to take him?
I’ve got this one.
Razor: There is just one special condition.
You can use items conjured by nen.
What the hell?
You can’t call that boxing!
Don’t worry about it.
I’m just gonna use my fists.
That rule is only for your benefit.
Tag out if you want to.
That’s not gonna happen.
Fight!

I know what’s going on here.

You’re an emitter too, aren’t ya?
We’re fighting in close proximity,

Wow! He can’t dodge that speed!

Yes, he’s down!
That was easy.
No, they were both hit.

What in the hell just happened?
How?
( Thinking ) These guys really didn’t see that?
Their guy teleported.
Wait, what do you mean?
Just his fist.
A short uppercut.
( Whooshing )
killua: From the very start,
his goal was to land a knockout counter.
( Whooshing )
i thought it was pretty obvious.
( Chuckles )
Seems he’s out cold.
That looks like a win for our side.
Damn.
( Sighs )
( Thinking ) Eight wins with them
will be impossible.
Which means...
Now, for the next challenge,
we’re juggling soccer balls.
Okay, i’m up.
Wait a minute.
Huh?
Hmm?
All right.
That would be quite wise indeed.
Hmm.
Hi, this round is you and me.
A little girl, huh?
I guess i’ll have to be real careful not to injure you.
Injure me with juggling?
Hmm.
We’re both allowed to attack
using our nen,
if you don’t touch the ball with your hands.
Yes, I get it.
Moving is allowed anywhere inside the building.
And whoever drops the ball first loses.
right. I understand.
Okay.
Then let’s get started.
Ready?
Go!

Oh, goodness.
That was much harder than I expected.
I guess I lose.

We’ll keep doing whatever we want in this town.
Where are you going, you little snot?
Fight me again!
♪
You knew we couldn’t win with this lineup.
So you threw it
and totally focused on gathering information.
but once a party has been defeated,
there are no second chances.
It’s all right.
We just need to switch out one member.
So it was well worth the risk.
Asta: Our team’s dropping out.
( All gasping )
We fulfilled our original objective--
preventing the bomber from winning the game.
It’ll be impossible for them
to assemble a group of 15 players.
you should give up on this contest for a bit.
Asta: If you do get the card, you’ll just become targets.
♪
( Energy whooshing )
goreinu: Those guys just don’t get it.
Our strategy...
it makes sense to obtain this card as fast as we can.
right. In order to reduce
the chances of fighting within the group.
Exactly.
( Gasps )
Killua: You need at least 15 people to participate.
Even if you use clone,
you can only obtain three copies of "strip of beach."
Looks to me like this event was specially designed
to incite infighting.
( Both gasping )
That’s what you were talking about before, wasn’t it?
Whoa, that’s pretty brutal.
Of course.
I didn’t understand it right away.
Assuming that the 4 of us
are capable of winning,
we need 4 more with us who are up to the task.
In a perfect world,
they would already be in a group of 11.
Do you have any leads?
Now book.
gon: Going by the names on my list,
it looks like chrollo’s probably the strongest.
but kurapika told me that the chrollo here
is definitely an impostor.
So who do you think it is, then?
well, probably a member of the troupe.
Gon: But why would a member of the troupe be here?
killua: Not sure. Maybe to beat the game?
Well, then why wouldn’t they want to use their own name?
I have no idea.
goreinu: Try using clairvoyance.
( All gasping )
if this person didn’t come all the way here
to beat the game,
they simply wouldn’t bother collecting cards.
Gon: Yeah, you’re right.
killua: Wow. This guy isn’t even trying.
Looks like the only cards he’s obtained
are for food and water.
actually, that can make it a lot easier to invite them.
but if it really is a member of the troupe,
we won’t invite them.
We’ll see what they say.
Yeah? Well, then what’s the point of even trying?
We already know it’s one of them.
We need to know who they are,
but why they’re here is more important.
What are you, a damn idiot?
are you just gonna ask them why they’re here?
Because, big surprise,
they’re not gonna tell you!
Yeah, i’m an idiot, fine.
But i’m still gonna ask, and you can’t stop me.
Then go right ahead!
Great, maybe I will!
Are they okay?
This kind of thing happens every day.
Gon: I’m going.
Then quit yapping and just do it.
( Both growling )
( Sighs )
Gon: Accompany on!
Chrollo lucilfer!
( Energy whooshing )
( Water sloshing )
( Sloshing continues )
( All gasp )
No way.
Gon: Hisoka!
Hmm?
( Gasps )
What have we here?
it seems I have unexpected guests.
Long time no see.
( Whooshing )
( Both whooshing )
( Sinister chuckling )
Just as I suspected.
You’ve matured quite a lot, haven’t you?
You’ve clearly found an excellent teacher.
You’ll continue to ripen into sweet fruit,
just as I thought.
Uh, okay.
So do you guys actually know this pervert?
Ahh. You must be their teacher,
I assume. No.
Doesn’t seem the type.
( Yells ) Oh, no! Oh, my gosh!
It’s her?
What do you want with me?
Or perhaps more accurately, with chrollo?
Gon: I have a question.
What are you doing in the game?
( Thinking ) Well, what to do now?
if I talk, I know how they’ll react.
They’ll do everything in their power
to keep the spiders from the nen exorcist.
That could be interesting in and of itself,
but I don’t want to delay my fight with chrollo
any longer than I have to.
I came here to look for chrollo.
( Both gasping )
He’s still crippled by kurapika’s nen,
but there’s actually a way to remove it.
Gon: Exorcism.
Hisoka: You knew?
well, that will make this much easier.
I’m looking for chrollo to pass that along,
but I have no leads.
Before long,
i remembered that some of the spiders
were interested in this game.
so, of course, if I can locate them,
they might be able to tell me where chrollo is.
And using his handle all but guarantees
they’ll try to contact me.
Okay.
So he was just pretending
to be a member of the phantom troupe.
Yeah.
Now I have a question for you.
Tell me.
Did the two of you really come all the way out here
just to ask me that?
Yeah. Sure did.
( Sighs )
Um...
The truth is,
we’re here looking for people who are really strong,
and we were hoping you might join us.
( Both groaning )
huh? All right.
May I ask why you’re looking for strong people?
hey, wait a minute. I don’t think I like this.
It’s risky.
It sure is!
you don’t know who this guys is, bisky!
what? Of course I know who he is.
( Both gasp )
Not personally,
but I feel a certain kinship with him.
the city of love, aiai, isn’t very far from here.
you can meet all kinds of people.
You might even find the strength that you’re looking for.
♪
What exactly did you mean about him lying?
Well, technically,
I should’ve said that he wasn’t telling the truth.
But how could you tell?
It was really more of a hunch.
Seriously?
After lying for 50 years myself,
I can recognize a fellow liar.
( Laughing )
that’s... Actually pretty convincing.
Biscuit: It’s obvious he’s hiding something.
So best to keep him around until we can find out what.
Plus, he’s really strong, isn’t he?
Gon: Yeah...
♪
( Both straining )
Killua: Hey, hisoka!
You walk in front!
Ten more members.
That’s what we need, correct?
yeah. Members like you.
people who have little or no interest in cards.
I would’ve thought everyone else was here to beat the game.
I doubt there are many other eccentrics like myself.
( Thinking ) Oh, he’s hiding something.
I can feel it.
( Fawning )
By the way, did you use someone’s power
to fly over here by any chance?
it’s a spell. The game is full of ’em.
Oh, so that’s what it was.
You’ll need to buy spells from stores, yes?
( Thinking ) Something doesn’t make sense.
If he isn’t being honest with us,
there must be some kind of inconsistency in his words.
He says he only came here to find spiders
who might know where to find chrollo.
There’s gotta be a clue in there somewhere.
( Distant chanting ) Aiai, aiai, aiai...
( Shrieks )
oh, no! Where are my glasses?
Hisoka: Get them for her.
You might become friends.
( Girl grunts )
Excuse me!
you should watch where you’re going!
Be more careful!
Uh, sorry.
( Grunts ) Now i’m gonna be late!
Why did you apologize?
What you should have done is told her to watch
where she was going, starting an argument.
Girl: Stop it! Please!
let me go! I swear i’ll scream!
Fine, scream your heart out.
Not like anybody’s gonna save you.
Gon: Hold it right there!
You let her go right now!
( Grunts )
Hey, that hurt.
What are you doing falling for such a tired old cliche, huh?
Biscuit: Really?
you want me to be your hair model?
Your hair’s so long and lovely.
It would be my honor to style it.
Yes!
There’s no point in us
hanging around this stupid city.
hisoka, let’s go somewhere else.
But why?
at least here, boredom isn’t an issue.
( Thinking ) boredom?
That’s it.
That’s what didn’t click earlier.
it’s this place that’s the problem.
if I entered this game just to hunt someone down,
what would I do?
First, i’d see how important the spell cards are.
Gon and bisky ran into hisoka while I was outside
retaking the hunter exam.
That must have been while they were training near masadora.
He was in masadora!
Normally it wouldn’t make sense for him to leave.
Most players pass through there looking for spell cards.
If he really was looking for the troupe,
he wouldn’t have left.
( Thinking ) At least here, boredom isn’t an issue.
( Thinking ) He’s bored because
he’s got nothing to do.
So he isn’t looking for anyone.
No! He’s already found them.
That’s it.
That’s in line with what bisky was saying earlier.
Hisoka already met up with the troupe.
Now he’s waiting for something.
But what?
What else could--
an exorcist!
The exorcist is here on greed island.
Hisoka and the troupe already know that.
I can’t tell gon about it yet.
He’s a terrible liar.
If hisoka finds out we know,
he’s bound to slip away from us.
if he leaves, we’ll be down an ally
and we won’t know what the troupe is doing.
We can’t let that happen.
gon: Hey, killua? I’ve been thinking.
Tsezguerra.
we should probably try to recruit him.
even if he won’t join, we should at least meet him.
And that way, he’ll be on our binder list.
Yeah, it’d be better if we knew what they were up to.
( Gasps ) ( Thinking ) The binder!
We can find out for sure.
Can I see your binder, hisoka?
We’re trying to find a guy named tsezguerra,
so I want to see if he’s on the list
of players you’ve met.
List?
( Thinking ) This is perfect.
if I started asking a bunch of questions,
hisoka would get suspicious.
But since gon doesn’t know anything,
hisoka won’t see a problem with it.
Book.
Killua: ( Thinking ) If he refuses
to show us the screen,
that’ll just support my theory.
Hisoka: There he is. tsezguerra.
Really?
Yes. Look. Here
( thinking ) He’s showing us? No way!
It doesn’t look like there are
any troupe members listed.
Was I being paranoid?
could hisoka actually still be looking for them?
Hmm.
in that case, would you recite this spell?
Don’t worry. We’ll do all the talking.
Hisoka: Contact on. tsezguerra.
( Energy whooshes )
( Chuckling )
My texture surprise certainly does come in handy.
Man: ( Singing in Japanese )
Narrator: Hisoka’s ability completely fools
killua and his friends.
But the question remains,
is he friend or foe?
