( Shaiapouf imitating komugi ) Hello?
Sir pitou?
This is komugi.
I’m fine, so please don’t worry about me.
I’ll be all right.
Neferpitou: I understand.
( Shaiapouf laughs )
And now pitou is also under my spell.
My lie is like a magic trick
that will release him from the curse of that girl.
Neferpitou: Gon...
You respected my wishes and waited for me...
So I feel like I should at least be honest with you.
I owe you that.
This man...
Is...
Already dead.

Neferpitou: His soul isn’t here, not anymore,
and I can’t bring him back.
Your friend is gone.
I’m sorry.
( Gon weeping )
Wait.
Why are you healing your own arm?
That doesn’t make any sense.
Turn kite back to normal.
Please, you can do that after you finish healing kite.
Please just do it, okay?

Shaiapouf: Pitou believes we have been successful
in our attempt to recover komugi.
From the look of it,
gon is almost certainly going to be killed before too long.
You stand no chance of stopping pitou yourselves, but I can.
And if you’ll just hand the girl over,
i’ll be glad to stop pitou for you.

Narrator: At the edge of fading consciousness,
pitou was relieved.
Neferpitou: Thank goodness.
There’s only one way he could have achieved this power,
by compressing his own life.
He was prepared to burn himself out completely
and never be able to use nen again.
That was the resolve required to do this.

An unfamiliar silhouette, one he had never before,

That fist smashed pitou’s head to a pulp,

Gon: Jan Ken...

Narrator: Gon reared back for the final shattering blow.
Gon: Kite...
I made sure to finish it,
just like you taught me.
So...
Killua: Gon, is that you?
Gon: Hi, killua.
Narrator: Having seen gon’s appearance,
killua immediately thought of biscuit.
However, he realized the difference in an instant.
Killua: Bisky’s appearance changed,
but there wasn’t a massive increase in her internal aura,
and, in bisky’s case, she wasn’t aging herself.
All she was doing was reverting to her original form.
But gon’s done the complete opposite.

Narrator: Pitou’s terpsichora, with aura amplified by death,
became an undead puppet for the king.
It had but a single purpose, to attack and kill gon.
It crouched and waited for the right moment.
And then, in that fraction of a second,
shorter than the blink of an eye,
killua swore he heard gon speak.
Gon: It’s okay. I’m fine.
It doesn’t hurt. I’m not bluffing.
I’m actually kind of happy.
Finally I can be just like kite was in the end.
Killua: Gon.
Gon: I feel...
A little better now.

You can have my right arm.
All right, now.

How much will you have to pay?
It’s too much.
