A powerful impact sends the curly-haired figure with insect-like wings and tail hurtling through the air amid flying debris and motion lines. The figure twists violently as it is launched upward.

Close-up panels capture the figure's intense expression and flowing hair as it regains momentum.

Pitou felt relief as consciousness slipped away. In the upper panel, the narration states this directly. Below, the scene shifts to a forest setting where a powerful aura erupts violently. A voice explains that he could only gain this power by shortening his lifespan. Another voice responds with relief: Thank goodness. The final panel shows a massive impact crater in the ground with debris flying. The narration continues that without being prepared to never use Nen again, it would be impossible to reach this state.

High in a sunlit forest canopy, a lone figure hangs suspended from a long vine, body limp against the bright sky. Bold text declares that by sacrificing all one's inborn talent a power can only be achieved this way. The scene shifts to a devastated forest floor littered with splintered wood and debris. A wild-haired character with a fierce expression stands amid the wreckage, shouting that they are the one to die. Another voice or the same figure adds that they are glad, even as the future is lost, because the battle is over.
