FOR REAL

The page opens with the header "N°062 FOR REAL". A close-up shows Gon being struck hard, his head snapping back with motion lines and the large SFX "GATCH". In the next wide panel, a referee in a dark uniform stands on a raised platform with his back to the viewer, overlooking the arena where Gon and Hisoka tumble across broken stone. A shocked crowd reacts with wide eyes and open mouths in the adjacent panel. Below, the referee thrusts his arm forward, shouting "CRITICAL HIT!! 2 POINTS FOR GON !!" while another hand slaps down with the SFX "SLAT".

In the vast Heaven's Arena, the crowd erupts as Gon lands a powerful blow on Hisoka during their match. Impact lines and dramatic speed effects fill the air above the ring. An excited voice shouts 'INCREDIBLE!! GON GOT A CRITICAL HIT!!!' while repeated 'OUAIs' sound effects punctuate the strike. Below, spectators raise their hands in excitement. A caption declares 'SO GON LEADS BY 2 TO 1!' The two fighters appear as small figures on the checkered floor of the arena, one standing tall after the attack while the other reacts to the hit. The page ends with bold text 'FOR REAL' at the bottom.

Hisoka and a young spectator discuss the judges' scoring. Hisoka notes that judges have preferences in point attribution. He adds that some value technique while others reward damage dealt. The spectator asks 'OH... REALLY?' Hisoka continues that they can contest a point Gon acquired. He observes that he himself does not seem harmed much by the attack. In a close-up, Gon grips a slingshot and declares 'OKAY !!!' with fierce determination, a small wound visible on his cheek. SFX 'OUAIs' appear again near the ring structure. A voice explains that the slingshot of the ring has been appreciated in scoring.

Hisoka's face fills a panel, a single drop trailing down his cheek as he watches intently. In the next panels he suddenly dashes forward across the tiled floor, debris scattering from his rapid movement. Gon stands ready in the distance. A sharp TAP sounds as Hisoka's foot lands. Hisoka strikes a dramatic pose in the center of the arena, one fist raised near his face, a star-shaped mark visible on his cheek. Large DOM sound effects explode around him. Zushi watches from the background with a serious expression. A speech bubble declares: "OH! IT'S THE FIRST TIME HE'S MOVED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE COMBAT!! HE HAS A LITTLE DEVIOUS SMILE!!" Another bubble questions: "THAT MEANS THE FIGHT WILL REALLY BEGIN NOW?" Hisoka steps forward with a confident stride while Gon reacts with wide eyes, exclaiming "OH ?" as another TAP is heard near his feet.

Hisoka spins around with a startled "OOH !?" as Gon stands facing him. A large circular panel displays the number 44 held up by a hand. TAC TAC sounds accompany a close-up of Gon's jacket sleeve moving. Hisoka is shown with a wide grin, the number 44 visible on the back of his hand, while a massive TADAN impact effect erupts between him and Gon. Gon leans in close with a shocked expression, multiple exclamation marks and motion lines emphasizing the sudden clash. Hisoka appears to have been struck or grabbed, his body angled back from the force.

Hisoka appears in close-up with a black star on his cheek and a tear mark, his expression calm yet intense. Beside him another close-up shows a similar figure with tear marks grinning slyly. A sharp impact sound "TADAN" rings out as a hand raises a playing card. Gon stares in shock from a small panel, reacting with "OOH !?". In the wide bottom panel Gon stands small and distant while Killua faces away with spiky hair, motion lines and impact shapes "ZAT" filling the space. Narration boxes read "BUT WHAT'S JUST HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM?" and "I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!!" as confusion hangs over the scene.

Gon leaps forward asking about reinforcement while Killua watches. Hisoka’s profile appears as he inquires what Gon learned about Nen. Gon blurts "HUH ?!" when asked how he knew that. Killua demands "HOW DID YOU FIND THAT OUT?" and Hisoka laughs "HA HA HA ! YOU’RE SO CUTE." Hisoka continues "I GOT YOU SO EASILY." In the large lower panel Hisoka stands centered with hands clasped, explaining "IT’S AN ANALYSIS I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT, THAT’S ALL." and "IT’S LIKE JUDGING SOMEONE BASED ON THIS BLOOD TYPE : THERE’S NO POINT DOING IT." Dramatic speed lines and SFX "ZOOOOO" surround him.

Killua stares forward with a tense expression and a bead of sweat, muttering "THAT'S TRUE..." A wide panel shows a distant figure in a fighting stance on a wooden floor as text explains that those who develop reinforcement are simple and pure. Below, a crowd reacts with excitement; Zushi clenches his fists and cheers while Wing watches closely, both echoing "THAT'S TRUE...!" Hisoka appears in close-up, a star marking one eye and a tear on his cheek, declaring "UNSTABLE AND A LIAR." and "AND I'M FROM THE 'CHANGING.'" He continues, "WE COULD GET ALONG WELL." but warns "BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE 'CHANGING' NENS ARE UNSTABLE." and notes their good compatibility due to opposite characteristics. Gon and Killua both react with wide eyes, repeating "THAT'S TRUE...!"

An extreme close-up shows Hisoka's eyes with a jagged star reflection. A low-angle panel reveals Hisoka's legs and shoes on the wooden floor beside a fallen object. Zushi urges "GO ON, SAY IT..." while Gon stands ready with clenched fists. Hisoka's voice continues, "WHAT WAS IMPORTANT THE DAY BEFORE IS TRASHED THE NEXT DAY." In a dramatic full-page spread, Hisoka lunges forward amid swirling energy and large "GO" sound effects, commanding "DON'T DISAPPOINT ME, GON." Gon is shown in profile on the left edge, watching intently.

Hisoka lunges forward with explosive force, his right arm extended in a powerful strike as speed lines radiate outward. His expression is calm and focused, star and teardrop makeup stark against his face. On the left, a close-up captures a spiky-haired fighter's shocked wide-eyed reaction, mouth open in surprise. Below, the same fighter is shown mid-impact, body twisting from the blow as large stylized SFX "VLAM" and jagged lightning-shaped impact marks explode across the panel. Dust and motion lines emphasize the devastating hit.

The crowd erupts with excited shouts as large SFX "OOOH!!!" and "どや!!" fill the top of the page. In the arena below, Gon is sent flying through the air while another spiky-haired fighter crouches on rubble. A small distant figure stands ready. A close-up shows the spiky-haired fighter on the ground with motion lines indicating speed. Someone yells "HE'S FAST!". In the bottom panel, the fighter with a clover emblem on his back is struck hard, recoiling with "OUTCH!" and "BTAM" SFX as impact lines and debris fly outward.

Hisoka lunges forward with a fierce grin, fist clenched and aura flaring. In the next instant he delivers a devastating strike that sends two small figures hurtling through the air amid heavy impact lines and the repeated sound ZOO ZOO. Gon cries out in pain as the force hurls him backward, while Killua tumbles alongside him. The panel erupts with motion lines and the exclamation OUTCH. Below, Hisoka lands in a crouch on the shattered arena floor as Gon crashes down hard, the impact marked BATAM amid flying debris and broken tiles.

A massive shockwave erupts across the arena with the enormous sound OOOOOOH and the Japanese characters うわあああああ!! accompanied by Dem!! and Doo--. The blast hurls debris in all directions while Hisoka and a distant figure remain visible on the floor. In the stands, Gon and Killua stare in shock; Gon exclaims WHAT… INCREDIBLE… Killua’s face shows equal astonishment. Hisoka, now standing amid the crowd, shouts WHAT A KICK!! as the enormous flagstone he struck flies into the spectator stands. Narration reads HE MADE THE FLAGSTONE FLY INTO THE STANDS OF SPECTATORS!! while SFX BROLLAH emphasize the destruction and flying rubble.

Hisoka lunges forward at blinding speed, his body twisting as motion lines streak behind him with a sharp ZAT sound effect. Gon braces himself on the arena floor, eyes wide and stance low, ready to react. In the next instant Hisoka is sent flying horizontally across the ring, limbs outstretched and face contorted from the impact. Gon’s silhouette appears in the foreground as Hisoka crashes through the air. The sequence erupts into chaos: Gon recoils with a startled AH!, clutching his side as a TAP and OUTCH mark the painful contact. Hisoka recovers instantly, delivering a crushing BLAM that sends debris flying, followed by a heavy DAM impact that shakes the panel.

The crowd erupts in shock, faces pressed against the glass as they shout about the impossible speed. A massive close-up captures Hisoka’s manic grin and wide eyes while a narrator box declares HISOKA SHOWS US HIS TRUE FACE!! Gon is sent flying upward in the background. Hisoka stands with fist raised, shouting that more points have been scored, shifting the tally to 3 to 2 in his favor. A critical moment for Hisoka is highlighted. Below, the scoreboard flips to 7-7 as Hisoka turns his back to the viewer, revealing the spade and club symbols on his shirt. Gon stands small and distant on the arena floor. Narration notes that in an instant Hisoka took the lead back and that a succession of hits impossible to follow by sight has given him a critical advantage. Gon is warned he can only keep his distance.

Gon stares forward with wide eyes and a tense expression, sweat flying from his face as he thinks, 'I MUST REACT, OTHERWISE I'M FINISHED...' and 'I'M ABLE TO FOLLOW HIM WITH MY EYES, BUT MY BODY CAN'T DO IT!!' while muttering 'SLICH SPEED!!' and 'MPE MPE'. In the next panel Hisoka stands with his back to the viewer, a club symbol on his shirt, replying 'COME HERE.' and 'SO WHAT?' with a heart as Gon crouches low in the distance, declaring 'NO WAY I'M PREPARING MY ATTACK.' Hisoka then appears in close-up, smirking with a star and teardrop on his cheek, raising one finger and saying 'FINE... IN THAT CASE... I'LL FORCE YOU TO COME TO ME...' with a heart. Gon's face twists in shock with motion lines as SFX 'DAMN' and 'Tic Tie Tic' erupt; Hisoka's finger points forward amid heavy impact effects. Someone off-panel shouts 'GON!! THE GYO !!' as Gon reacts with wide eyes and an exclamation mark.

Hisoka's hair flows dramatically as he points his finger forward, surrounded by black butterfly-shaped aura and repeated 'ZUN ZUN ZUN ZUN' and 'ZUN' SFX. A voice asks 'DON'T YOU FEEL ANYTHING COMING ?' while Gon watches from the side with a tense expression. In the next panel a massive 'TAK !!' impact erupts; Gon is hurled backward with blood flying from his mouth, eyes bulging in pain. Hisoka stands in the distance with one arm extended, aura flaring around him. Gon lands hard, still clutching his face, while Hisoka smiles and asks 'DO YOU UNDERSTAND ?' amid swirling black energy and debris.

Gon is violently yanked upward by an unseen force, his body twisting and legs kicking as he cries out in shock. Hisoka stands below with arms extended, one hand gripping the air, a star marking his cheek and a club symbol on his shirt. A large speech bubble shouts in disbelief, "WHAT?! GON IS BEING PULLED BY HISOKA?!!" while Gon screams "AAAAAH!!" amid radiating impact lines and debris. The scene pulses with motion as Gon is reeled toward the ceiling.

Hisoka leaps forward with a powerful kick, his body angled dynamically as he strikes at Gon, who is now tangled in thin strands. The impact creates a bright burst and heavy motion lines. In close-up, Hisoka's face appears calm as he explains, "IT EXTENDS AND SHRINKS, DEPENDING ON MY WILL." Another panel shows his mouth moving with "THAT'S WHY I CALL IT BUNGEE GUM.♠" Finally, Hisoka smiles slightly and states, "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ANYMORE.♥" while Gon remains ensnared off-panel.
