SUCCESS

From a high angle, three small figures stand far apart on the cracked plain while another trio waits even farther away. The view shifts to a close exchange between the bearded uniformed man and the tall man with glasses. The bearded man holds up a stack of cards and declares "TRADE COMPLETE." The tall man responds "O K" while holding his own cards. A panel shows the bearded man examining documents. Suddenly motion lines appear as the uniformed group reacts with surprise. The bearded man looks up and says "NO... WAIT A SEC." while the others turn toward him with concerned expressions.

A close-up shows the glasses-wearing man with spiky hair glaring forward as he declares, "THIS TRADE ISN'T FAIR...!" and adds, "AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT..." In the next panels a bandaged man snaps, "YOU MAKING FUN OF US? AFTER THE TRADE," while the X-scarred man glares and mutters, "WHAT THE ..." A wide desert view reveals several figures standing in the distance. The glasses-wearing man points accusingly and shouts, "WHAT MORE COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT?!" Another voice answers, "WE GAVE YOU THREE CARDS!!" Farther back, the X-scarred man bursts upward from the cracked earth with a loud "chmo," his arms pushing free of the dirt as debris flies around him.

In the barren plain the X-scarred man kneels while the glasses-wearing man stands over him holding two cards. The glasses-wearing man says, "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT. DON'T BE HASTY." He continues, "I MEANT IT WASN'T FAIR FOR YOU," and explains, "IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE WE'RE BEING GIVEN CHARITY. I DON'T REALLY LIKE IT." and "IT'S WAY TOO ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US." The X-scarred man listens silently. The glasses-wearing man adds, "WE WOULDN'T BE THAT PLEASED," and gives an example: "FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE WERE TO CLEAR THE GAME BEFORE YOU..." Finally he announces, "SO, I HAVE A PROPOSITION!" while the X-scarred man reaches toward a small object on the ground.

A hooded man with glasses thrusts forward a glowing card and shouts that one of the two cards is a scrap while the other is Archangel's Breath, demanding the choice of right or left. The dice roll lands on double excellent luck. The X-forehead man grins and declares "ALL RIGHT !!" beside a satisfied profile. In the next instant the spiky-haired fighter explodes into motion, arms pumping as he yells "GO !!!" while the X-forehead man drops into a low ready stance behind him.

Multiple figures are hurled through the air amid massive impact bursts and streaking debris. A circular inset shows the X-scarred man and a robed figure standing amid swirling dust. Onlookers react with shock as the bearded man named Levy lunges forward, arm extended, roaring "LEVY ON!!" A colossal kanji explosion erupts across the lower half of the page, flinging bodies and sending the X-forehead man and Gon tumbling through smoke and flying rocks.

The X-scarred man stares at the glowing RETURN card labeled 1009 G-280, which allows flight to a previously visited city. His face twists in fury as he shouts, "DAMN....!!" and activates the card with ""RETURN" ON!! TO MASADORA !!" A massive burst of energy erupts outward with heavy impact lines and debris. On a wooden platform, several uniformed men are knocked back by the force. In an open plain under a cloudy sky, the same men clutch thick card books. One yells, "FOLLOW THEM!!" while another insists, "WAIT!! LET'S CHECK OUR CARDS FIRST!" A sweating man nearby mutters, "SHIT..."

The X-scarred man continues reading from his card book, growling "DAMN !!" as he lists the stolen cards: #80 "FLOATING STONE", #65 "WITCH'S REJUVENATION MEDICINE", and others. Nearby men react with shock. One reports, "BAD NEWS. THEY TOOK TWO COPIES OF #35 'SUBSTITUTE ARMOR'..." Another adds, "ME TOO. CARDS WE HAD DOUBLES OF... #29 'FORCED RESERVATION TICKET' AND #24 'PROBABLE TV'." A third states, "#42 'SUPER CLASS WRITER'S EGG' AND #53 'KING WHITE OOKUINAGATA'... WE HAD THOSE CARDS IN DOUBLE." The X-scarred man realizes, "MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY TOOK MONOPOLIZED CARDS....!" and notes, "THEY ONLY TOOK CARDS FROM THE FIXED SLOTS! DAMN IT! THEY USED THE RISKY DICE!" In the field below, a long-haired person exclaims "AH!" while facing the spiky-haired figure and the X-scarred man.

Close-up on a man's intense eyes and furrowed brow. In a rocky area, several men argue heatedly. The curly-haired man gestures wildly while the X-forehead man clutches his head in distress. "They changed our faces against our will, using an item!" "Forgive us!! They caught us and forced us to cooperate!!" A bald man with glasses shouts, "Using 'Accompany'!! Anyway, we must chase them immediately!" A wide shot shows a barren landscape with distant figures. "WHY NOT?!" someone yells. "NO!" another replies. The X-forehead man explains, "But he's the one who had the heads of the ones caught with us blown off!!" Nearby, players spot a figure: "Isn't Gensuru 'Bomber'?" "Hey." The group reacts with shock. A long-haired man and others stare in realization. The X-forehead man continues, "The change of subject seemed unnatural, so I've been on the defense since then. A long time ago... they mentioned 'Bomber' to me during a negotiation... Gensuru must have been among them. A little while ago, a large number of players died simultaneously."

The X-forehead man stands with arms crossed, declaring his certainty. "It must be related to them, they use their ability. If they themselves mention the 'Bomber'..." "I've been certain of it since that mass-killing...!" He clenches his fist. "Gensuru is 'Bomber'!!" "They are pure warriors. Their ability, the obvious purpose of which is to kill...!!!" In another area, players discuss: "That's why we shouldn't plan on an open confrontation!" A man in a cap notes, "You don't think they might've completed their binder because of this?! They took five essential cards that we owned!" The X-forehead man activates his book. "NUMBER TWO!!" "LIST" ON!" The screen shows: Number of players currently in possession of #2 "Coastline of One" (suibo) - 0. Total number of cards possessed - 0.

A hand forms a circle with thumb and forefinger as a voice declares they must find #2 before the others do. Nearby, a man in uniform kneels in the grass checking a device while companions note that #2 has not been located yet and that it is still okay. The scarred man insists they can still gain an advantage if they secure the monopoly using Clone and Transform. A hand raises the Accompany card labeled F-130, its text detailing flight within a 20m radius around the caster. The group activates it, shouting Accompany on to Soufrabi, while another member warns they still need to locate Coastline of One Tsubo. Their exchange ticket remains safe. A massive burst of energy erupts across the landscape with a roaring sound effect as the ability takes effect.

The group celebrates obtaining a monopoly on 92 card types after canceling a transformation. A large rabbit-like creature and floating entities appear near a building as they cheer the success of a combo involving Risky Dice and Levy. They discuss waiting for gains from the Hagakushi and Tokumarone groups and note that seven types remain with two already secured. The bottleneck remains card #2. One member states they lost the Mad Doctorate's Orthopedics Machine but can recover it later. Plans are made to target #75 Alexandrite Luck, #2 Coastline of One Tsubo, and others. The reward of three fixed slot cards and 50 billion is mentioned as they decide their next move.

A hand slams down a card with a massive BON!! impact. Gon stares at the card in shock and declares, 'THIS CARD WAS MADE WITH "FAKE".' 'THIS'S NO GOOD!' Nearby, a man holding a stack of cards recoils with 'URK!' and 'AH!' as Gon stands before him. The man laughs nervously, 'HEHEHEHE, HERE'S THE REAL #30, "CONNECTION".' 'SORRY, SORRY! MY MISTAKE!' Biscuit, Killua, and Gon examine the necklace. Biscuit notes, 'TRUE! BUT THIS NECKLACE SEEMS QUITE USEFUL.' Killua warns sharply, 'REALLY! YOU CAN'T LOWER YOUR GUARD FOR EVEN A SECOND!' The group walks along a forest path. Biscuit asks Gon, 'YOU HAD SOMETHING IN MIND?' Killua turns with a puzzled expression. Gon touches the necklace and says, 'NOT ITEMS, BUT FOR CARDS, YEAH.' 'THIS NECKLACE REMOVES CURSES FROM ITEMS, RIGHT?'

Biscuit recalls the people who tricked them earlier. Killua wonders aloud if the forest inhabitants' illness is the result of a curse. Biscuit replies that the tricksters were not using cards. Killua stares forward with a serious expression and decides, 'LET'S TRY IT, IT'S WORTH THE COST.' The scene shifts to masked villagers kneeling on wooden planks. One masked figure says, 'TRUST IN US.' Another masked villager asks the group, 'WILL YOU ENTRUST US WITH YOUR LIVES?' Gon, Killua, and Biscuit sit facing the masked people outside a wooden building. Footsteps SFX echo as the masked figures approach.

A masked figure in a crown-emblazoned cap stands amid dramatic speed lines, declaring to unseen listeners, "WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!" and "YOU HELPED US WITHOUT ANY COMPEN- SATION...." Below, Gon examines two glowing cards labeled "SICK VILLAGERS F-15" and "HEALTHY VILLAGERS C-50," his eyes widening as the second card activates with bright flashes and motion lines. The healthy villagers card shows cheering crowds raising their arms. Gon grins and pumps a fist, shouting "YEAH !!" In the background, the masked figure and other villagers celebrate with raised arms, one exclaiming "THANK YOU SO MUCH!! TAKE THIS AS PROOF OF OUR GRATITUDE ....!" while another cries "OOH! COMPLETELY CURED!!" The scene shifts to Gon, Killua, and Biscuit standing together; Biscuit holds up a large card reading "ALEXANDRITE LUCK" as Gon cheers, "WE GOT 'ALEXANDRITE LUCK' !!" The card description notes that its owner can experience things he has never experienced before.
