Key facts in this chapter
The chapter title shown is OFF TO MASADORA! ②. The large spotted creature is a giant lizard encountered in the cavern. Gon and Killua are traveling through a rocky underground area. The pair discuss monster levels and weaknesses after the encounter.
The Melanin Lizard is documented on card 697 B-100. Biscuit is traveling with Gon and Killua. A small black spherical creature appears unexpectedly in the cavern. Gon and Killua continue deeper into the passage after the encounter.
The setting is a stone cavern with multiple thin lines stretched across the space. Gon and Killua are positioned at different distances from the lines. Biscuit observes the scene from the foreground with her back turned.
Killua attempts to dodge the lines but finds the speed overwhelming. Biscuit provides guidance on how to perceive the pattern in the lines' movement. The lines continue to move in seemingly random but patterned trajectories.
The group is traveling through a rocky tunnel or cave. They have spent ten minutes attempting to capture a creature. A striped equine creature suddenly appears before them. Soap bubbles are released by the creature. The destination mentioned is Masadora.
The creature releases a large quantity of soap bubbles. An explosive force sends the creature flying backward. Gon and Killua both dodge the expanding bubbles. The bubbles appear to carry concussive force.
Red bubbles explode only on aura contact. White bubbles do not explode when touching rocks. The monster uses camouflage and surprise to flee. Gon and Killua encounter the same monster again. Biscuit teaches Zetsu technique for bubble interaction.
Gon and Killua stand in a rocky cavern facing a massive spotted lizard creature that looms from the stone wall with a single glaring eye. The beast lets out a deep rumble as it shifts. In the next panels the creature has withdrawn, leaving only faint traces on the rocks. Gon remarks that the lizard was only level A. Killua wonders if the giant cyclops was the only G-level threat and suggests the others may have forgotten to assign a weakness. Gon insists that no matter how much they attack, it would do nothing to the creature. They decide their goal is Masadora, reasoning that they can beat the target if they can see it and run if its attacks prove too dangerous.

Biscuit states that the lizard’s rank was E and calls the previous plan a failure. She holds up a collector’s card labeled 697 Melanin Lizard B-100 that displays the creature’s image and description. The card notes the lizard can swallow a whole cow and kill by suffocation with its weight, possesses a sensitive mole on its back, and uses developed camouflage. Biscuit adds that close observation would reveal the lizard tries to hide a specific delicate part when fighting. She remarks that the group are still newbies. A small black spherical creature with large white eyes suddenly appears, startling everyone. Gon reacts with wide-eyed shock. The scene shifts to Gon and Killua walking deeper into the stone passage while the black creature floats nearby.

Gon stands tense as a powerful strike lands nearby, the impact sending shockwaves and debris flying. Killua shouts "GON!" in alarm. Killua then dashes forward at high speed with a determined expression, accompanied by a large SFX "ぐおっ". The scene shifts to a rocky cavern interior crisscrossed with thin glowing lines. Gon and Killua stand amid the lines while a figure in the foreground exclaims "FAST!". Gon calls out "THAT ONE'S WEAK!". From off-panel, a voice insists "I'M FINE! IT DIDN'T HURT ME AT ALL!" followed by a hesitant "BUT ...".

Close-ups show Killua's intense eyes and Gon's focused gaze. Killua declares "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RESPOND!" while dodging multiple lines with rapid movement. In the cavern, Biscuit says "ANYWAYS, WE HAVE TO STOP IT." and "DAMN" as an impact occurs nearby. A small panel shows a character struck with SFX "ボン". Biscuit, seen from behind, warns "DON'T WATCH THE POINT, WATCH THE LINE...". She continues explaining "IF YOU WATCH CAREFULLY, YOU'LL SEE A SPECIFIC PATTERN WITHIN THE SEEMINGLY RANDOM MOVEMENT!" while noting that wasting such good eyesight is a shame.

Killua stands with his back to the rocky wall, glaring over his shoulder. "IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR SPENDING 10 MINUTES TRYING TO CATCH IT AND FAILING." A flustered voice answers from off-panel, "AH... A BIT MORE, AND..." Another panicked shout follows, "AH! IT RAN AWAY! SHIT! WAIT!!" Biscuit, hands on her hips, scolds the boys, "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF A STRONG AND FAST ONE APPEARED?" Gon and Killua both retort in unison, "IDIOTS!" Killua adds, "SEEMS LIKE IT." Biscuit continues, "BUT WITH ONLY ONES LIKE THAT, WE'LL ARRIVE IN MASADORA QUICKLY." The group walks along the stone path when a strange striped horse-like creature suddenly materializes in the darkness ahead, its eyes glowing. Gon stares in surprise at the floating bubbles and asks, "SOAP BUBBLES ?" The creature lets out a loud "シュワァア" as bubbles burst around it.

The striped horse creature charges forward, releasing a massive burst of soap bubbles that fill the air. Gon and Killua leap backward as the bubbles expand explosively around them. Large onomatopoeia "ヒュオオオ" and "バァン" dominate the panel while the creature is hurled away. Close-ups show Gon and Killua's surprised faces amid the floating bubbles. Gon suddenly reacts with shock, eyes widening and arm raised, as a huge impact SFX "バン" erupts. The creature is sent flying with a loud "バン" and lands in the distance while Gon shouts "Ku..." and braces himself. Bubbles continue to drift through the scene as the boys recover from the sudden attack.

Gon stands on rocky terrain, pointing at floating bubbles while a large exclamation mark appears near distant rocks. 'IT LEFT.' Gon and Killua observe the scene as bubbles drift around them. Killua asks why the red bubbles do not pop on contact. Gon wonders about their lack of destructive power despite the strong sound and blast. Biscuit appears in close-up, explaining that the white bubbles do not explode when touching rocks while the red ones operate with people's aura. She notes the monster uses two types of camouflage and surprise to escape, with red ones exploding only on aura contact. Gon and Killua face a massive, grotesque monster with a wide mouth and multiple eyes emerging from rocks. 'HIM AGAIN!' Biscuit advises that catching it requires touching one red bubble with minimal movement and Zetsu, noting the difficulty may be too high.

Gon and Killua sprint through a narrow rocky passage as a giant toothed monster lunges from behind with its mouth wide open. They skid to a stop upon seeing a small cube-shaped creature with a single eye and tentacles. Question marks appear above their heads. The pair then runs again past a wall covered in small cross marks. They collide with a large round rock, sending Gon flying backward with stars around his head while Killua dodges. A small ghost-like figure floats nearby. In a close-up, Biscuit sweats with a strained expression, saying 'REALLY...' and 'THOSE TWO...' as she reacts to their actions.

A large impact burst dominates the right side of the page as a massive fist clenches in frustration. Narration boxes read: "IF YOU POLISHED THOSE GUYS, THEY'D INSTANTLY TURN FROM RAW ROCKS TO GEMS!!" and "BUT AT THIS RATE, IF A FIENDISH PLAYER OR MONSTER APPEARED, IT WOULD BE 'GAME OVER'!!" followed by the giant outburst "SUCH A WASTE....!!" Below, Gon and Killua stand in a rocky cavern facing an armored knight holding a sword and shield. Gon says, "IT LOOKS LIKE A STRONG ONE THIS TIME..." while Killua reacts with "OH". In a close-up, Biscuit sweats heavily, her face tense. She clenches her fist and declares, "IT'S NO GOOD, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY-MORE!!"

Gon and Killua stare upward with wide eyes as Biscuit leaps high above them on a rocky outcrop, shouting "GYOU"! with a large speech bubble. Biscuit, now in a suit, urges "CAN'T YOU AT LEAST USE GYOU!" and "USE GYOU!". Gon questions, "THAT GIRL'S MOOD COMPLETELY CHANGED....?" while Killua replies they can but are unsure. In the cavern, the armored knight charges with motion lines as Gon and Killua react with surprise. Biscuit yells, "HEY! DON'T RELY ON WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES!". A close-up shows the knight's armor cracking under impact. Biscuit explains, "THIS ARMOR IS JUST A PUPPET. EVEN IF YOU ATTACK IT A LOT, IT WON'T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON IT!" and asks, "CAN YOU SEE IT?".

Amid a crumbling rocky battlefield, armored knights clash violently with Gon and Killua. Massive impact lines and debris fly as one knight swings a huge shield while Gon leaps backward. In a close-up, Gon dashes forward with fierce determination, motion lines streaking behind him. Below, a small round creature with a cat-like face and simple smile sits on the rocks. Gon sprints ahead shouting, pointing the way through the rocky passage. Killua follows close behind as more armored figures tumble in the distance.

Gon snatches a glowing card from the air marked 'CARD GET!' as the Remote Control Rat card appears in detail: number 711, H-800, showing a rat-like being manipulating objects with Nen. The card text explains it protects itself by making monsters faint and multiplies its vitality. Gon, Killua, and Biscuit stand together; Biscuit explains that Gon can use Gyou and has been watching since the start. Killua acknowledges the oversight. In a final panel, an unidentified figure points with 'SC.'

Gon and Killua stare in shock at the sudden display. "REALLY... WHO IS THIS GIRL...?" someone mutters. A massive impact erupts as Biscuit thrusts her fingers forward, shouting "WHAT'RE YOU WAITING FOR?! BUDDHA?! 'GYOU'!!" with dramatic sound effects bursting around her. The boys react with wide eyes while Biscuit stands confidently, two fingers raised. "GOOD!!" she declares. "THE NUMBER !" Gon calls out. "WHAT DID YOU SEE?" Killua asks. Biscuit points upward with one finger and explains firmly, "ALL RIGHT? FROM NOW ON, EACH TIME YOU PUT THIS FINGER UP, USE THE GYOU RIGHT AWAY!! AND THEN LOUDLY TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE!" She continues, "AND WHEN YOU FEEL A SUSPICIOUS ATMOSPHERE, USE GYOU TOO!! OKAY?" In a close-up, an eye focuses intensely. At the bottom, Gon and Killua sit together. "yeah... true," they admit. Biscuit's voice adds, "THAT'S THE BASIS OF FIGHTS, BUT IT CAN ONLY BE ACQUIRED WITH EXPERIENCE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT A FARAWAY PLACE, YOU CONCENTRATE ON YOUR EYES. I WANT YOU TO LAUNCH YOUR GYOU AS NATURALLY AND QUICKLY AS THAT!"

Biscuit leans forward with a thumbs-up, declaring "IN EXCHANGE, I WANT YOU TO DO EXACTLY WHAT I TELL YOU!!" and "FROM NOW ON, I'LL BE YOUR COACH. AND I'LL EVEN DO IT FOR FREE." Gon and Killua react with surprise, both exclaiming "EH?!" Biscuit points upward and commands "NUMBER 5!!" while the boys dash around the training area. Killua yells "WHO DO YOU TAKE US FOR?!" as they move. Biscuit then orders "THE SLOWEST DOES THAT. THAT'S YOUR PUNISHMENT! HURRY UP!!" Gon protests "AH?!" while Killua is forced into push-ups, complaining "YOU, 200 PUSH-UPS! RIGHT!" with sound effects marking the effort. Biscuit watches sternly as the boys begin their punishment.

Amidst a shattered rocky cliffside, a panicked voice cries "WAH... KILLUA?!" while another yells "ARGH!" and demands "ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME? WHO'S..." A tiny figure tumbles down the distant stone formations. In the foreground, Genthru glares with wide eyes, gripping oversized scissors in one hand. He declares "WITH MY SCISSOR HANDS..." and "I'LL CUT THEM INTO PIECES..." before muttering "THREE BRATS..." as his fingers twitch with rapid motion lines and the SFX "ビビ".
