Narrator: An intense dodge ball match has begun.
Gon was injured by razor’s mighty throw,
but even through the extreme pain,
his eyes burn with fire.
Number zero: Estimating the ball’s drop point.
The game will continue!
Team gon has possession, and since the ceiling
is considered an extension of the floor, gon is out.
Gon: Okay. I’m gonna use "back."
- Bisky: You can’t be serious! - Gon: I’m doing it.
Killua: He won’t listen, so don’t even try it.
Bisky: Fine. Have it your way.
However, I forbid you to use "back"
until we’re down to two inside players. Got it?
Number zero: Now let’s get started.
Killua: Get patched up, gon.
Hey, it’s not against the rules
to keep passing the ball like this, is it?
Number zero: No, you’re fine.
Gon: ’kay. I’m better now.
Killua: Hey!
Goreinu: Just so you know, i’m the type to hold a grudge.
It’s time for payback, razor.
( Razor chuckles )
Goreinu: Take this.
Black goreinu!
Razor: The black one switches with others?
Damn, you really got me good.
That’s what you get.
You mess with me, and i’ll take you out.
Killua: Razor will use "back" to return to play anyway.
At least we made him use it up early.
Plus, it’ll be our ball.
Goreinu: Huh?
♪
What in the hell?
( Groans )
- ( Bisky gasps ) - Killua: Goreinu!
Razor: Now, that’s one interesting ability.
Nurture it well, okay?
Bisky: Hey, hold on just a second.
What the heck was that?
Razor: Hmm?
There’s no rule against passing the ball to an opponent.
( Bisky groans )
And as you’ve probably noticed,
you’re welcome to hit people in the face here.
That means that his attack was also legal.
If the ball had actually touched the floor, i’d be out now.
Once he’s unconscious, the nen beast disappears.
His ability requires his direct control.
The black gorilla may begin inside the court,
but that’s assuming goreinu ever regains consciousness,
which something tells me isn’t likely.
Number zero: If the in-court players are reduced to zero
before goreinu wakes up, the match will be over.
Kess: There’s no way. He’s out cold.
Rodriot: He might wake up.
He might even wake up before we lose,
but in the condition that he’s in,
he won’t be able to conjure his nen beast.
Inside the court, it’s three-on-three...
But we’re seriously outmatched. That’s obvious.
Half our players are gone,
and we’ve only got one hurt kid on the outside.
Our opponents have a solid outside team,
so they can attack from anywhere.
Razor’s still inside without having to use "back,"
and the ball rebounded to our opponents.
We’re at a clear disadvantage.
Razor: All right, well...
Tell me, who wants to be next?!
Killua: Me?
What do I do?
I can’t catch it. I’ve gotta dodge.
It turned on a dime.

( Coos )
Killua: That bastard.
Can’t believe it.
He faked going for me, but his real goal
was taking out both bisky and hisoka.
Wait a minute. What if he was gambling
that i’d dodge to the left instead?
If i’d done that...
Number zero: Biscuit is out.
Step out of the court.
Rodriot: What happened?
Kess: Didn’t she dodge?
Bisky: I’m out.
Both: What?
Bisky: So that means that clothing
counts as part of your body?
Number zero: Yes.
( Rodriot sighs )
Kess: I was almost positive she dodged it.
Rodriot: We’re down to two!
No matter what, don’t let them get the ball!
Gon: Back.
Number zero: Gon has used back and may now return to the court.
( Rodriot sighs )
Are you sure we can trust a little kid with this?
Barry: That one’s no ordinary little kid.
He’s the only one of us
who’s even tried to catch razor’s throw.
Bisky: Are you all right?
Gon: Yeah.
Bisky: Now listen to me carefully.
- Do not overdo it. - Gon: Yeah.
Bisky: Hmm.
What’s one plus one?
Gon: Yeah.
Bisky: It’s hopeless.
Okay, then! Beat him even if it kills you!
Gon: Osu.
Killua: You all good?
Gon: Yep.
Hisoka: I learned something rather interesting.
If the ball travels outside the court,
it becomes much less powerful.
I only broke two fingers without ko.
Killua: So as long as we can avoid razor’s attacks,
we might just be okay.
( Bones pop )
Hisoka: My thoughts exactly.
Gon: But what kind of victory is that?
( Killua gasps )
Look, don’t be an idiot.
If we can’t win, no matter what we do,
all of this is pointless!
You better calm down. You’re being stupid.
- Gon: I thought you’d be mad. - Killua: You what?!
Gon: If you’d dodged left, then you could have been killed.
- ( Killua gasps ) - Gon: It’s true.
♪
I’m really pissed off right now,
and i’m not gonna settle for some cheap win.
I have to completely crush this guy.
Hisoka: Hmm.
In that case, you must have some kind of plan in mind.
Gon: Yeah.
I’ve got this.
Killua, stand over there.
Bend your knees, and hold the ball tight.
Killua: Uh, sure.
I get it.
Now show me rock!

( Killua gasps ) Huh?
Number zero: Number 13 is out.
Catching the ball
while your body is touching outside the court is illegal.
Possession goes to team gon.
- Kess: Oh, wow. - ( Rodriot laughs )
Barry: Did you guys see that?!
He just sent the biggest one of ’em flying!
Gon: Damn it.
That one wasn’t nearly good enough.
Kess: Why does he look so unhappy?
Rodriot: You’re right. He looks mad.
( Barry laughs )
That kid has got real high standards.
Gon: Not yet.
That’s not enough to beat the real razor.
I need a lot more power.

Hit razor with everything you’ve got.

Nothing in the rules limits the amount of time
he can take to build up his power.

( Gon gasps )
Killua: He’s bumping it?
( Razor grunting )
Hisoka: He used his own body to slow its momentum.
Bisky: He’s good. His timing had to be flawless,
and he deflected the force so smoothly.
This man is really strong.
( Gon gasps )
That was great.
Razor: The game’s not all about dodging and catching,
but that advice is a bit too little too late, i’m afraid.
Kess: I don’t get it. That ball was as strong as his,
but it--it didn’t even reach the ceiling.
Rodriot: That was one hell of a bump
to burn off all that momentum.
Now it’s right above him.
( Razor gasps )
Hisoka: Bungee gum.
Aww, that’s too bad.
You’re actually supposed to catch it, you know.
Number zero: As per the cushion rule, razor is out.
Step outside.
( Razor grunts )
I call "back."
Number zero: Razor has used "back."
He will remain inside the court, and play will resume.
Kess: Both teams have used "back,"
and it’s three-on-two.
Rodriot: Yeah, looks like the tables have turned.
Tsezguerra: You really think so?
Men: Eh?
Tsezguerra: From where i’m sitting,
our team is the one on the ropes.
Hisoka probably isn’t in any shape to throw.
I’d be surprised if he could even
hold the ball with his right hand.
Gon’s attacks used a huge amount of aura.
That takes its toll.
He should feel completely drained right about now.
( Gon grunts )
Tsezguerra: Can he muster another attack that powerful?
It’s highly unlikely.
Barry: That means killua’s the only uninjured one inside?
Tsezguerra: Quite the opposite.
( Men gasp )
Tsezguerra: I would venture that of the three,
he’s probably the most gravely injured.
Rodriot: What do you mean?
( Gon exhales )
Killua: Are you doin’ okay there, gon?
Gon: Yeah, but I think the next one will be the last,
so i’ll give it everything i’ve got.
Killua: All right. Just make it good.
One more. I can take it.
I’ve just gotta hold out.
Tsezguerra: When gon struck the ball, I noticed that killua
barely used any protective nen on his hands.
Kess: That’s crazy. That launch was intense.
He was like a damn Cannon.
Tsezguerra: Correct,
and essentially killua used his bare hands
to form that cannon’s barrel.
But with the right amount of nen,
if he’d used just enough to protect them,
his aura would have become a barrier against gon’s punch,
significantly reducing the amount of power to the ball.
In order to keep himself from weakening the ball’s velocity,
killua used hardly any aura on his hands,
sacrificing them in the process.
That tells me that as bad as hisoka’s right hand
might be at the moment,
killua’s hands must be in much worse condition.
Damn. I feel like such a fool.
Why am I not up there with them?
I know the technique, and I can do it much faster than killua.
In the moment before gon touches the ball,
I could swiftly switch my aura to my hands,
a near-instant transfer.
Wait.
Timeout. Hey, ref, question.
Number zero: Yes, what is it?
Tsezguerra: I was just wondering
if the players inside of the court
can choose to move to the outside.
Number zero: Well, that doesn’t violate any rules,
but be aware that you can’t return inside.
Tsezguerra: All right. Come here!
Gon, if you just step outside of the court before you strike,
I can hold the ball for you.
Killua’s hands must be totally ravaged by now.
I sincerely doubt that he’s in any condition
to hold the ball or anything else.
♪
I know a way that’ll allow me to protect my hands
with a lightning-fast coating of aura.
I can hold the ball while you take out razor from here.
It’s the only way that we can win this.
Killua: We can’t do that.
Tsezguerra: But why not? What’s the problem with that?
Killua: It feels like a cop-out.

This is not the time to be thinking like that!

You took a hit.
You’re only gonna make it feel worse.

Tsezguerra: Impossible. I’m right.
Please help me convince him.
Gon: I--i already knew...
That killua’s hands were hurt.
I’m sorry, Mr. Tsezguerra,
but I won’t move out of the court.
Tsezguerra: Eh?
Gon: I need him to hold the ball for me.
I can’t do this without killua.
( Killua gasps )
Gon: If biscuit or hisoka held it,
I probably couldn’t use my full strength.
There’s only one reason
I can focus everything i’ve got on hitting the ball.
It’s because I know killua’s the one holding it.
Killua: There it is, old man. Do you get it now?
Why don’t you go get some rest?
Tsezguerra: I understand.
Good luck.
