Narrator: The results of the eighth round
of elections are in, having been painstakingly counted by beans.
piyon: I am happy to finally present the results
of the eighth election for the 13th chairman!
( Fanfare plays )
( Crowd gasping, murmuring )
Piyon: Oh, wow!
This puts leorio in first place!
That makes it the first time it’s been someone
other than pariston in the lead!
Leorio got the most votes,
but he only got 44.4% of all votes cast.
The requirement was 50, which means, of course,
that we’ll have a runoff between the top two candidates.

Leorio: Seriously?
Then i’ll really do whatever I want.

Ah. Hi, big brother.
Killua: Good morning.
Did you sleep well?
Alluka: Uh-huh.
Where are we?
Killua: At a hospital.
A friend of mine is here, and he’s really sick.
( Alluka sighs )
killua: If I can, I want to help him feel better.
That’s why we’re here.
Alluka: So I have to switch with nanika?
No fair! I never get to spend any time with you!
Killua: Look, it’ll be fine. Don’t worry yourself.
We’re always gonna be together from now on,
and that’s a promise.
Please.
Illumi: So the rules don’t apply to killua.
I suspected as much.
i’ll have to check whether it’s specific to killua,
or perhaps it’s just something that happens
after a wish is used to heal.
Alluka: Okay. I’ll do it.
illumi: Either way, the power to destroy and heal
can be a powerful tool if it’s kept on a short leash.
Tsubone: Sinister and mechanical, that one,
a wicked ambition contrary even to the assassin’s creed.
the boy suffered less when he was being controlled.
How ironic and cruel.

Killua: Alluka is only awake when nanika’s asleep.
She spends less time as alluka than you’d think.
After one of nanika’s demands fails and people die,
alluka is awake until nanika makes the next level-one demand.
If the person nanika is making demands of leaves her side,
the demand is put on hold,
and alluka wakes up until that person comes back.
after nanika heals someone or something,
she goes to sleep.
Then alluka is awake until the next wish.
I want to make this wish the last
so nanika will never awaken again.
that would be the best thing for everyone.

Piyon: If there’s nothing else,
i’ll ask the two remaining candidates
if they have anything else they want to say.
And if they don’t, then I guess
we’ll just have to proceed with the final vote, so...
Cheadle: It’s futile.
It doesn’t matter what you have to say.
Pariston: Well, it feels like we’re winding down here,
but I have one more question for Mr. Leorio.
Leorio: Hmm?
pariston: It’s one that you’ve answered before.
what will you do if you become the chairman?
piyon: Mr. Leorio, kindly answer the question.
what will you do if you become the chairman?
Leorio: I’m gonna save gon,
and you’ll help, whether you like it or not!

Pariston: This would have been perfect timing.
oh, well. I’m not god, but I tried.
All right,
then, do you have plans to shuffle personnel
or restructure the whole organization?
Leorio: Huh? I don’t know what you’re talking about!
i don’t even know why i’m standing up here right now.
This crap is ridiculous!
( Pariston laughs )
I couldn’t agree more. thank you.
those are all the questions I have.
cheadle: Oh, just give it up, pariston.
Everyone knew the answers to those questions
when they voted for him the first time.
That’s why they were applauding,
because they have every intention of backing him,
no matter what.
pariston: Now that we’re talking,
do you have any more questions for me?
Leorio: Hell, no!
Except why don’t we just get this over with?
Pariston: I understand,
but i’m afraid I must ask for an emergency motion!
( Crowd murmuring )
Piyon: Huh?
What is that, exactly?
Pariston: An emergency motion.
Look in the bylaws.
Both articles eight and nine say that it’s permissible
for me to call for a vote of confidence.
The topic will be a revision
of the hunter bylaws and the hunter exam.
but, first, I propose that we abolish
the current hunter exam system.
( Kanzai growls )
Pariston: If you agree, please vote yea.
Disagree, and vote nay.
Kanzai: Hold it right there!
During the zodiac council,
we decided the bylaws wouldn’t be touched!
So that isn’t relevant right now, and you know it!
Saccho: No.
Cheadle: Stupid tiger. you’re wrong.
Pariston: Absolutely right!
The council’s decision was 11 to 1.
i was the only one in favor of revising the bylaws.
If instead miss cheadle or Mr. Mizaistom were up here now,
i’d have stayed silent,
deferring to the wisdom of the council for the duration,
but both of them are out of the running,
and, as you all heard Mr. Leorio clearly state,
he has no plans for the association.
This is the only time
I can express my opinion as vice chairman
and not just as one of the zodiacs,
my one opportunity.
Understand, Mr. Kanzai?
Right here and right now,
it’s the only chance that i’ll ever get!
( Crowd murmuring )
( Kanzai sputters )
Pariston: Of course, according to article eight,
I could ignore the council’s decision and force the motion,
but, even though it’s my right, I really don’t want to do that.
The zodiacs are a precious legacy left by the chairman!
piyon: Hey, if you say something stupid,
he’s gonna make this ten times worse.
( Kanzai groans )
Pariston: Honestly, part of me wishes
to let this matter die without making any more waves.
However, the late Mr. Teradein and Mr. Bushidora
made an excellent point before they passed.
Both articles three and four continue to suffer gravely
as a direct result of the current exam process!
cheadle: "He doesn’t want to win,
but he doesn’t want to lose, either."
I have to say, ging, looks like you’re right.
What a creep.
he doesn’t care about winning or losing at all,
so, with nothing of his own at risk,
he can always stay dispassionate and calm
while he manipulates others and plays the rules against us
in the worst way any of us could possibly imagine.
May I say something?
Piyon: Yes? What is it?
Cheadle: If leorio is elected chairman,
I volunteer to be his advisor.
at that point, I promise that I will conduct
a comprehensive review of the bylaws and hunter exam.
I will not let you grab any of teradein’s votes.
i’ll destroy every last argument you make.
To everyone who’s voting for the potential leorio shows,
but who’s concerned about how he will serve initially,
I will do everything I can to quell those concerns,
even if it requires me to leave the zodiacs.
Leorio: Wait a minute!

Everybody in here was worried about you.
Gon: Uh, thanks! Thank you.
Cheadle: He got us.
Pariston wanted leorio to be his final opponent.
and now leorio has neither the motive
nor the support to become the next chairman.
Man: You be chairman!
morel: Leorio, we know that killua healed gon,
but you can never tell gon that.
Leorio: Huh? Why not?
Morel: ’cause I said so.
For killua’s sake, keep it to yourself.
Leorio: Right. Yeah.
It’s our secret.
Cheadle: Tell me, pariston.
I’m curious.
When did you first predict that this would be the final outcome?
Pariston: Pardon? Oh, no, no.
I don’t have the ability to predict things.
This was all pure coincidence.
Cheadle: Please. I want to know.
That was a...
Total defeat.
Pariston: I realized it...
When Mr. Ging nominated himself.
Cheadle: Huh?
pariston: After he said he would run,
I asked a question to taunt him,
and he responded by saying that gon wouldn’t die, right?
ging: Nah, go. That kid’s not gonna die.
Pariston: Right there in that moment,
I could visualize the scene that just transpired before us.
I anticipated Mr. Ging and I would stand onstage
and that he would ultimately win,
in my vision, at least.
Cheadle: Huh.
Pariston: First, since Mr. Ging
seemed confident that gon would survive, I began to suspect
that there must be some way he could be healed.
I also realized that if he became part of the election,
I would never be able to win.
( Cheadle gasps )
Pariston: Understand?
you see, that was the exact moment I was defeated.
but Mr. Ging withdrew from the election,
and, soon after, Mr. Leorio showed up and punched him.
When he stood onstage and talked about his friends
risking their lives to save gon, it all clicked.
I finally saw the bigger picture for what it was,
but it was only a moment ago that I knew I had won,
when we felt that immense power.
I had a gut feeling that gon’s friends had just saved him.
All that remained was to delay the vote until he arrived.
Oh, and don’t worry. I’ll retract my motion.
Cheadle: And that was all the information you had?
You trusted people you’d never even met to save gon? Seriously?
Pariston: I trust Mr. Ging as a worthy enemy,
( cheadle gasps )
Pariston: And these are the very same friends
that Mr. Ging trusted to save his son...
So I did, too.
I’d be foolish not to.
( Crowd cheering )
man: Come on! Run for chairman already!
Man 2: You’d be awesome! you got my vote!
Man 3: Get onstage, and say something!
Man 4: Speech! Speech!
