Killua: I did. I feel better now.

Narrator: In an attempt to save gon,
killua is heading for the city with alluka.
Meanwhile, hisoka,
who is currently working with illumi to kill alluka,
confronts gotoh,
as well as the other butlers who were escorting them.
Hisoka: A power that lets you
rapidly fire coins more powerful than bullets...
Powerful enough to explain
why you would send your subordinates away.
Gotoh: My coins pack enough power
that you can’t escape unscathed if they hit.
It must have something to do with his ability.
( Coins jingling )
Gotoh: Hmm.
Hisoka: I see you’re confused.
My aura has qualities of both gum and rubber.
Gotoh: Showing your hand already?
You may regret that, cheap conjurer.
Hisoka: What’s the point in hiding things from the dead?
It doesn’t matter if you know my ability.
( Gotoh grunts ) I think not!
♪
Hisoka: Now catch.
I can’t tell if i’m just getting used to your attacks
or they’re getting much slower.
Gotoh: Yeah. They’re a lot slower.
Hisoka: Hmm?
Gotoh: To make them spin, I diverted a bit of my power.

You’d better disengage soon,
or your own aura will strangle you.
Or do you want to be riddled with holes?
Pick your poison!
Hisoka: Bungee gum, disengage.
Gotoh: He dodged it from that position?
( Grunts )
He’s too fast for me to follow.
Hisoka: You see, I sent my gum out with the first card.
That way, as soon as I removed the gum from my feet,
it would be ready to activate at any time.
And now a lethal pop quiz from the grim reaper.
I took 22 coins from your attack.
So the question is...
How many of them will I return to you?
Gotoh: He’s going to use his rubber
to send the coins flying back at me?
Hisoka: You’ll have to find out the answer for yourself.
Gum release.
♪
Gotoh: Don’t underestimate me.
Even if the answer is greater than 22,
i’ll shoot them all down!

Hisoka: The answer is enough to kill you.
Waah, waah.

Killua: 40 kilometers until we reach the next town.
I can make it.
Hey, alluka, you’re gonna feel a little zap again, all right?
Alluka: Mm-hmm. It’s fine.
Killua: Godspeed!
Tsubone: Hmm?
Killua: Lightning speed!

Very impressive.

Good luck following me this way!
Amane: What do we do now?
Tsubone: We’ll have to head him off.
Amane: Where?
Tsubone: At master killua’s speed,
it’ll take him less than ten minutes to reach parasta.
It would take master illumi over 20 minutes by car.
What will he do with his ten-minute lead?
Amane: A disguise?
Tsubone: Wrong. Cute answer,
though not entirely impossible, I suppose.
What’s the first thing master killua will do
after he loses us?
Amane: Contact his friends.
Tsubone: Bingo! And how can he contact his friends
without us finding out? Any ideas?
Amane: Well, he’ll need to check
for any tracing or listening devices
and probably use someone else’s phone, I guess.
Tsubone: No, no. That’s just common sense.
Think about what matters in this situation.
We may know where master killua is,
but if we can’t get near him,
we won’t have any way of knowing what he’s up to.
So where is he going?
( Amane grunts )
( Canary gasps )
Tsubone: You’ve figured it out?
Well, let’s go, then!
( Rotors whirring )
( Killua panting )
Amane: We’ve been waiting.
Killua: Damn it.
You guys are really good.
Amane: We already have an airship prepared for you.
Killua: Oh, really. How many?
Amane: What?
Killua: Sounds like you only have one.
Are you serious? Give me a break!
We’ll never lose illumi like that!
We need at least six airships going different ways!
You guys better split up and go make the arrangements!
Canary: This airship will take us
straight to our destination.
Amane: Fine.
Canary: We’ll have to pay for two tickets,
or else they’ll figure out it’s unmanned.
Amane: I know that! Do I look like an idiot?
Canary: Um, I don’t know how to read this.
Amane: Just ask the clerk.
Canary: But what names do you think
we should put the tickets under?
Amane: Oh, come on!
Can’t you think for yourself?!
( Gasps )
Where’s master killua?
Oh, god damn it!
( Gasps ) Hold on!
You were pestering me as a distraction
so they could escape, weren’t you?
Canary: Whatever do you mean?
( Amane groans ) We have to go after them!
- Canary: That’s on you. - Amane: Huh?!
Canary: As soon as i’ve dispatched the other flights,
i’ll ride on one of them.
If you follow them using ground transport,
- be sure you aren’t followed. - Amane: Wait. What?
If you follow them by air, it will be a lot more obvious!
Are you out of your flipping mind?!
Canary: That wasn’t my plan. I’ll just be a decoy.
And since i’m going to meet up with gotoh,
it’ll be a whole lot easier to move there by airship.
Hmm.
( Amane groans )
What is it?
Canary: You’re cute when you let loose a little.

Morel: Hey, what’s going on?
I was getting worried.
I can’t get in touch with Mr. Gotoh.
Killua: Got it. I’ll try giving him a call.
Morel: Wait. So he wants to kill your brother?
Killua: Yeah. If we’re gonna heal gon,
alluka’s the only one who can do it.
Problem is, illumi wants to kill alluka.
Thing is, if my wish is granted,
it may end up wiping out my entire family.
Hisoka: We’re too late.
I still don’t see why
we don’t wait for them around the hospital.
Illumi: As we draw near the hospital,
our chance for failure starts to increase.
All of killua’s friends will be swarming the area.
And if we just hang around waiting,
they’ll realize something’s not right.
♪
Illumi: Eight. We’re going to need more people.
Hisoka: Are you calling in friends?
To be honest with you, i’m pretty shy.
Illumi: No. I don’t have any of those.
What a waste, but i’ll have to use my needles.
Hisoka: Hmm?
Ohh.
Now, that is an excellent aura.
( Sighs )
Illumi: If I stick them in someone,
they’ll work for me until they die.
Or, rather, they’ll drop dead from working too hard.
Morel: Grant a wish?
Wow. That’s a dangerous ability.
Imagine what would happen if the wrong hands got to it.
Killua: Illumi will probably
follow the airships by ground.
My butlers have dispatched seven decoys.
I know my brother doesn’t have any allies for this,
so he’ll use the needle people.
Morel: What are those?
Killua: He uses special nen needles
to create soldiers to do his bidding until they die.
Illumi’s powerful aura enters the victims through the needles.
( All groaning )
Killua: So the moment they’re pierced,
they turn into puppets,
and they’ll do whatever he wants them to.
( Puppets moaning )
Killua: I need you to call on the hunters.
Grab the needle people. Can you do that?
If we have proof he’s harmed people,
all innocent civilians, beyond recovery...
They can arrest him even if he’s a pro hunter, right?
( Morel gasps )
Narrator: Killua sought to confirm this theory
because of a statement made
in a particular section of the hunter bylaws.
Article four of the hunter bylaws states,
"hunters shall not target other hunters.
"The one exception shall be that if the hunter to be targeted
has committed heinous crimes."
Killua: I believe that some of the candidates
had eyes on the bylaws.
They were talking about revising them,
as well as the hunter exam.
If we catch illumi, we both know how that will go.
It’ll just drum up sympathy for their cause.
( Morel gasps ) Wait! You sure?
You would be sellin’ out your own brother.
Killua: He’s trying to hurt alluka,
and that’s something I can’t forgive,
not my big brother, not anyone.
That’s my line in the sand.
Cross it, and i’ll crush you.
( Morel gasps )
I understand.
Teradein and bushidora will probably agree to help.
There should be plenty of hunters who’ll lend us a hand.
Since you’ve decided to come to the city
where the hunter association headquarters is located,
you’ll be right under our noses.
That said, i’ll make sure that everyone knows
how dangerous our opponent is.
We won’t touch illumi.
We’ll just capture all of the needle people.
Killua: Yeah. Sounds good.
Man: All right.
I’ve accessed parasta airport’s flight logs.
There are six airships that will be landing in this area
within 20 to 30 kilometers of the hospital.
As for killua and his butlers,
we’re not sure where they’ll land,
and illumi can’t pursue what he can’t see.
He and the needle people will try to stay
within visual range of the airships
as they follow on the ground.
Man 2: They’ll be vulnerable to attack at a number of points
before they reach swardani city, where the hospital is,
so of course we need to send hunters
to each of those checkpoints.
Man 1: We have one main priority,
the capture of the needle people.
Teradein: We can confirm needles later!
Just capture anyone approaching the airship!
Now get moving!
Illumi: Go.
♪
Illumi: Can you start hunting the fakes for me, hisoka?
Hisoka: Okay.
This is gonna get busy.
Bushidora: Not surprised.
I always knew that article four was fundamentally flawed.
We can’t just wait for a crisis like this to appear,
not when the hunter association’s honor
is at stake.
Teradein: The problem is that the exam
needs to be more selective.
If good behavior was a prerequisite for joining,
well, we wouldn’t have this problem.
Loupe: The time has come
for we three members of the anti-netero faction
to have more pull in the association.
Teradein: Hello, everyone.
Today I, teradein, joined forces with loupe,
as well as our associate, bushidora.
Now, we three are most commonly known
as the anti-netero faction,
but that’s not a name of our choosing.
The hunter souls deep within us
were inherited from the former chairman,
as so many of yours were. Of that, I can assure you.
And so, in order to carry out his will,
we seek to reinstate the highly versatile team
to which the former chairman belonged.
As many of you may recall, this elite group was known as...
The legendary pure paladin squad.
Bushidora: Teradein, the leader,
loupe, his deputy,
and finally I, bushidora ambitious, am honored
to serve as the captain of the new pure paladins.
To express our solidarity during this critical election process,
we have only one request, and that is that all your votes
be cast for our leader.
If you agree with our message,
give your support to our ally, teradein,
and together we’ll know the sweet taste of victory.
Loupe: Also, as we continue to address our faction’s message,
we would be remiss not to mention
that we have recently received information
from a very reliable and trustworthy source
which states that multiple parties
have found a certain hunter guilty of many egregious crimes.
Teradein: I would like to announce
that we are currently pursuing this hunter.
Ladies and gentlemen, let us come together
to start to rebuild the hunter association
with wisdom and integrity as our tools.
