Stronger Than Everything

In a rocky cave, suited men surround a group with guns drawn. One man threatens that the captives can choose between being buried or thrown into the sea. Another man raises a gun and yells for everyone to get down. A striped hot air balloon rests on the cave floor. In smaller panels, a mustached man in a suit raises his hand and says wait. Below, a spiky-haired man in ragged clothes stands with arms outstretched. In the next scene the spiky-haired man says he is taking care of it and there is no need for others to get involved. A suited man with glasses notes that people from the organization have arrived. A blond boy with wide eyes exclaims in surprise while other children and a figure with a headband stand nearby.

The mustached man glares with narrowed eyes and speaks sharply. "Don't you understand what's happening to you?" he demands. "You don't lack in arrogance." The white-haired muscular man, clad in a fur vest and gripping a pistol, turns his head and retorts, "You were the ones who did the robbery thing?" With a casual smirk he answers his own question: "Yeah." In the next instant a massive dark silhouette lunges forward. A thunderous BAM erupts as the blow lands squarely on the white-haired man's chest. He is hurled backward, crashing to the ground on his knees, arms limp and head bowed. The mustached man stares in wide-eyed shock, sweat flying from his face, while the white-haired fighter remains motionless on the floor.

The white-haired muscular man throws his head back and roars with mouth wide open, teeth bared, as a massive SHUUUUU sound effect bursts from his throat. The next panel shows him lunging forward with a fierce grin, right fist cocked and glowing with power while motion lines streak behind him. Bold text declares "STRON GER THAN EVERY THING." Below, the mustached man lies sprawled on the floor, eyes rolled back and mouth agape in defeat, while a crowd of spectators watches from the background with varied expressions of shock and tension.

A massive, muscular gorilla-like man towers over the scene, gripping a suited man by the head and slamming him violently into the ground as bullets fly. His powerful body dominates the frame while "JUST STRONG" looms beside him. Below, a crowd of suited men react in shock, some firing guns at the beast. In a separate rocky area, onlookers watch the brutal display. One man declares that guns will never damage the gorilla's body. Another notes that in physical strength, no one in the Ryodan surpasses him. The caption reads "GORILLA VERSUS ANTS" as small figures cower and sound effects echo: "Vlam" and "waaaah!"

In a rocky cavern, the gorilla man stands tall while enemies approach from all sides. Observers note that the attackers are pushing themselves hard to get killed. The gorilla smirks and dismisses the threat, saying it will not be enough to warm him up while waiting for the Injyuu to show up. Gunfire erupts with sounds "outch!" "Waaaah!" "Boom" "Crik Crak!" and "Pff...". A sniper takes aim at the gorilla's head through a scope. The shot fires with a loud "Fiooooo" and "POP", but the gorilla remains unfazed as the bullet strikes.

A close-up shows a spiky-haired man with a stern expression reacting to the weapon in use. "A SHOTGUN ?" he says, followed by "AIE...". In a wide desert landscape, distant figures stand far away as someone wonders "SO FAR?". The large furry beast-like man stands with arms crossed as multiple shotgun blasts strike him, marked by sharp "CLING CLING" sound effects and his pained "AIE !". Nearby observers note "SHOTGUN BULLETS DON'T DO A THING TO HIM... ?" and "HOW...". The beast-like man clenches his fist in anger, declaring "DARING TO SHOOT ON SOMEONE FROM SO FAR AWAY... IT'S GETTING ON MY NERVES." He then charges forward with tremendous speed, motion lines and a massive "FUUUUUUUU" effect filling the panel as he closes the distance.

Several armed men are struck violently, blood spraying as "SLAT" and "SLAT" effects appear alongside an agonized "OUARGH !". One attacker cheers "RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE!! YEAH!". A bald man in a suit kneels and loads a massive bazooka with a loud "CLAC", boasting "THIS IS A SUPRA BAZOOKA THAT CAN STOP A TANK IN ONE SHOT!!" and threatening "YOU'RE GONNA BE BLOWN TO BITS !!". In the distance the furry beast-like man reacts with surprise "WHAT?". The spiky-haired man appears in close-up, extending a hand and retorting "COMPARING ME TO A MERE TANK... YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL SAD."

A violent explosion tears through the open area, sending up a massive cloud of smoke and debris as the word DIE!!! rings out. The blast expands with a huge BOOM that shakes the surroundings. In a smaller panel, a light-haired youth and a mustached man stare in shock. Below, a bald man with a fierce glare thrusts forward and yells THERE!!! while two other men react with wild expressions. In the settling dust, a group of suited onlookers stands frozen, staring toward a distant lone figure amid the smoke and ruins, their surprise marked by !!!?.

A towering muscular man with spiky hair lunges forward, his massive hand reaching out with veins and sweat visible as he declares WITHOUT A DOUBT. THAT REALLY HURT. Below him, a bald man and several suited figures stare upward in terror. The crowd erupts into a panicked WAAAAAAAAAAH as people scatter in all directions across the open ground. One fleeing person cries AH, NO... while the muscular man continues his pursuit, warning YOU WON'T FLEE.

Gon, Killua, and Kurapika advance across the rocky ground as a small cloaked figure scurries ahead. A sharp 'Tac' sound effect marks their steps. Suddenly an explosion erupts inside a nearby cave, sending debris flying. The group reacts with surprise. Killua points forward and declares, 'This way.' They press on and spot several figures in the distance. Gon and Killua exchange tense glances; Gon exclaims with shock while Killua states, 'HE'S ALSO A NEN USER.' In a massive splash panel the true threat is revealed: a hulking, muscular man surrounded by floating bodies and shattered debris. Narration emphasizes his overwhelming presence with the lines 'MOREOVER...' and 'PARTICULARLY STRONG...!!!'

Killua analyzes the scene, noting the terrifying aura and the many bodies on the ground. He observes that firearms do not affect the man. Leorio, gripping his weapon, reacts with visible strain. A long-haired character identified as Melody questions the situation. The muscular fighter looms in the foreground, his face twisted in rage. In the background the rest of the group stands ready. Melody suddenly cries out 'Gloups!!' as a sharp reaction panel shows her shock. The fighter declares he will make confetti out of their bodies. Leorio grits his teeth and vows he can beat him. The page ends with a close-up of Killua shouting 'Shout' amid heavy speed lines.

The group gathers around a glowing fissure in the rocky ground. Gon stands alert on the left, Killua crouches nearby, a small figure watches from the far left, a bald robed person observes from the right ledge, and a long-haired muscular man stands ready on the right. Repeated cracking sounds of 'crat t crat' echo from the bright center. The ground then rumbles violently with 'Brrr' on both sides as a large mound forms. From the rubble a massive, heavily wrinkled head slowly rises, its eyes half-lidded in sleep, a speech bubble showing 'Zzz' as it snores.

The massive creature fully erupts upward in a dramatic surge marked by huge 'ZUUUUU' lettering, its muscular body twisting free of the earth. Gon recoils on the left with a shocked '!!' bubble and 'WOUUH' reaction. The bald robed figure stands on the right watching. A close-up shows the creature's eyes. In the lower panels the creature, now standing, declares 'I'm Mimizu, from the Injyuu.' Gon, sweating, responds while the creature continues: 'I sense you know a bit of how to use Nen, but if I were you, I would renounce...' and 'We're the bodyguards employed by Mr. Nostrade from the Ritz clan.' The robed figure asks 'What about you? Which organization do you belong to?' as Gon and the creature face each other.

A tense discussion unfolds among shadowy figures. Someone asks where the voices are coming from while another states that the target is a specialist whose killing is a large part of his life and that he is a professional. A shocked reaction follows with the claim that he is no mere thief. In a wide dramatic panel, the large man Hiru (Cleech) stands with hands on hips, grinning confidently. Beside him are Yamaarashi (Wild Boar) and Yamainu (Keen Dog). Yamainu declares, 'Let the Injyuu work.' At their feet lie two pairs of shoes with a large CRATCH sound effect, suggesting a violent act has just occurred. A small boy stands in the background watching the scene.

A spiky-haired man with a scarred face stands in a dark setting. Nearby, a masked woman with a skull design says 'Voila.' and another voice declares 'No more.' In a vast empty lot at night, several figures stand far apart. The spiky-haired man questions how the security guards and clients are doing while the tall spiky-haired man on the right asks what was done with the auction objects and states 'You're the Injyuu?' Close-up eyes convey tension. The reply comes that the objects from the auction were taken and the clients were killed. In the final panel the tall spiky-haired man glares angrily while a bald man behind him warns 'If you don't say it, I'm...'

A bald fighter wearing a headband launches a devastating punch forward with intense focus, his arm extended and muscles straining. Massive impact lines and shockwaves radiate outward as the blow connects with a powerful creature, sending debris and motion trails flying. The sound effect VLAM- explodes across the center of the page. Below, three figures are hurled backward by the force: a spiky-haired fighter, a muscular bald opponent, and a smaller figure, all struggling to stay on their feet amid scattered rubble and flying particles.

In the top left panel, a large-headed creature with a trunk-like appendage laughs HE HE while being struck. A close-up shows its face with wide eyes and a sweat drop. Another panel displays a determined face with SHUU sound as a voice states IT WORKED. A star-marked impact CRIC appears on the creature's body. The large central panel reveals a massive clawed hand gripping and crushing the creature's head, which now has multiple star-shaped marks and a pained expression with drool. At the bottom, three young fighters stand together: the left one says I QUIT., the middle one remains silent, and the right one with spiky hair declares SEE ME 10.
