Hunter × Hunter Chapter 139: We're Really Going to Masadora ?

Gon leaps high into the air above a large rock while gripping a knife, body twisted mid-motion. The panel erupts with the huge sound effect "Do!!" Killua is shown from behind as a boulder smashes near him with the impact "Bu Q!" A close-up reveals Killua's intense face, eyes wide and sweat flying, with a star-shaped impact mark beside him. In the next sequence Gon charges forward with a fierce expression, striking with the knife as "Gy!" and "Hyuu" mark the swings. Killua reacts with a startled close-up and the sound "Byu!" as motion lines show rapid movement. The final panel shows Gon leaping again with the knife extended toward Killua amid more speed lines.

Gon and Killua train relentlessly on rocky terrain. Killua leaps high with arms outstretched while Gon balances atop a massive boulder, both pushing their bodies to the limit amid flying debris and impact lines. Sweat flies as they strain. In a close panel, Biscuit watches with wide eyes and gritted teeth, her face drenched in sweat. A large speech bubble reads, "MY BODY CAN'T EVEN REST" while another declares, "SUCH STAMINA... THEY NEVER STOP!"

Biscuit sits perched on a rock formation, watching Gon and Killua train. Narration boxes explain: "THE SITUATION OF RISKING THEIR LIFE ALLOWS THEM TO DRAW OUT THEIR ABILITIES TO THE MAXIMUM." "THEIR MOVEMENTS, WHICH TAKE THE RISKS OF THIS FIGHT INTO ACCOUNT, AREN'T BAD AT ALL." "THEY MANAGED TO PUSH BINOLT TO HIS LIMIT CHE WAS ALREADY WOUND ED, BUT EVEN SO..." Another box notes their inexperience prevents them from reading opponents' movements perfectly. Biscuit thinks, "AS I THOUGHT." A wide panel shows a swirling vortex around a large raw gem with bold text "RAW GEMS!!!" and narration pondering if the two learn that now.

Gon dashes forward in a powerful stance, his body angled with intense focus as dramatic light beams frame him. Text describes a color that shakes at first glance and gives eternal force, comparing it to the rare blue of the stone of Soirene, calling it an illusion yet surely real. The label declares him a sapphire. Beside him, Killua leaps dynamically with one leg raised and arm extended, surrounded by radiant light rays. Text highlights the firmness in his eyes and hidden deep abilities, labeling him a diamond. Below, Biscuit laughs heartily with her hand near her face, her expression delighted as she declares she will train them. She wonders why polishing these two makes her heart beat so strongly.

Close-up shows a man's shocked face with wide eyes and sweat drops, followed by another panel of him gripping a knife with a tense expression and speech bubbles of surprise. In a rocky cavern, the same man stands holding the knife, thinking this is something notable. The view widens to a vast rocky terrain filled with boulders where a small figure runs in the distance. Two children with backs turned observe from the foreground. Biscuit comments on their surprising speed, noting they have two weeks but will finish in one day. She describes the area as a dense forest of rocks that limits movement and creates hiding spots.

Genthru's face fills the panel as he glares with intense focus, sweat flying from his cheek. A small projectile streaks through the air toward an outstretched hand. Gon lunges forward at high speed, motion lines radiating outward, while Genthru's eyes widen in shock as the word TRAP !! is circled beside him. Gon is suddenly hurled backward through the air with a startled !! expression. Genthru, now behind him, shouts FROM BEHIND !! as Gon tumbles. In the wide bottom panel, Gon stands with his back to the viewer, fists clenched and body tense before a massive boulder. Genthru crouches on the far side of the rock, partially hidden, watching the trap unfold amid scattered stones and rocky terrain.

An explosion erupts as Gon is blasted by debris and rocks flying in all directions. Genthru is struck hard, his body twisting from the impact with !! marks around him. In the next panel Genthru charges forward through flying rubble, arm extended. A close-up shows Genthru shielding his face with one arm while shouting YOW! as shards cut past him. The bottom panel erupts with a massive impact, Genthru recoiling violently amid flying rocks and dust, the huge onomatopoeia ドォッ dominating the foreground.

Genthru's eyes widen in shock as a voice exclaims 'HUH...'. In the next panel his face twists in pain with a sharp 'ARGH!'. The scene widens to show Genthru standing over Gon in the rocky wasteland, one hand gripping the boy's arm while Gon lies on the ground beside a small bird-like creature. Genthru looks battered and tense. In a dramatic close-up, Gon leans forward with a bright smile, fist extended, declaring 'GAME OVER, UNCLE!' as speed lines radiate outward.

Killua's face fills the frame, shouting desperately 'NO, KILLUA!'. Quick cuts show Gon being kicked away, then charging back in with a determined punch. Biscuit watches silently from the shadows with a serious expression. Genthru lies on the ground looking up. Gon stands over him and asks 'WHY DID YOU STOP ME, GON?!'. In the final sequence Genthru's eyes widen in disbelief while Gon and Killua exchange tense looks; Killua insists 'NOT YET, THERE'S STILL TIME LEFT!!'.

Under a starry night sky in a rocky cavern, Genthru's face looms large with a shocked exclamation. Gon stands tall, pointing upward, and declares, "WE CAN CONTINUE, BUT THIS TIME, ONE ON ONE!" Killua watches nearby. In the next panels Genthru crosses his arms and sneers, "HEHE, IDIOT. THAT WAS YOUR LAST CHANCE...!" while Gon insists, "THIS TIME I'LL BE THE ONE ATTACKING!" Gon adds, "OUR CONDITION IS GREAT RIGHT NOW! IF WE STOP NOW, IT'D BE A WASTE." Killua warns, "BUT IT'S TOO SOON FOR YOU TO REALIZE IT. THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE AT YOUR BEST..." Gon replies confidently, "BUT TOMORROW'S BETTER. SURE." Genthru threatens, "I'M GONNA CUT YOU INTO PIECES!" Later, Gon stands with hands on hips as narration states, "LATER, WE WON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF ENEMY WE'LL HAVE TO FIGHT." Killua notes, "THAT'S TRUE. HE'S COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED, AND WE'RE BOTH GOING AT HIM." Genthru warns, "YOUR MOVEMENTS HAVE SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY. IT'D BE BETTER FOR YOU IF YOU RESTED YOUR BODY."

Gon and Killua stand side by side in the rocky terrain, both looking toward Genthru who sits on a rock in the distance. Close-ups show Gon's focused eyes and Genthru's tense expression with sweat. Genthru suddenly moves with a "SU...!" sound effect. A bright flash erupts between Gon and Killua as they both react with surprise. Biscuit appears from behind, her back to the viewer, and states, "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE ATTENTION OF THOSE TWO NOW." Genthru glares intensely while narration notes, "USELESS. YOUR 'ZETSU' IS PERFECT." The page number 194 is visible in the corner.

Under a starry night sky, jagged rocky cliffs rise against the darkness. A voice declares, "BINOLT... WHEN IT COMES TO LATENT ABILITIES, YOU'RE LOSING." Another voice replies, "NOW, THOSE TWO CAN SENSE ALMOST ANYTHING: THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT, THE SMALLEST NOISE." A plaid wallet lies abandoned on the sandy ground. In a narrow alley, a short-haired boy in a torn apron stares in shock while holding the wallet. Nearby, a man in a suit and a woman in a dress stand together. A pointing hand directs attention to the dropped wallet on the ground. In the background, the same boy walks away with the couple. On the far right, the boy stands alone, his clothes dirty and tattered, gazing forward with a neutral expression.

Close-up of the man with glasses and the wavy-haired woman, both looking concerned. The woman says, "UMM..." The short-haired boy appears with a worried expression, sweat drop visible. The man and woman react with intense anger, eyes wide and brows furrowed. A massive dust cloud fills the panel. In a dramatic close-up, the boy's face is shown drenched in sweat, eyes wide with shock, motion lines radiating outward as he realizes the situation.

High on a rocky cliff face, Gon wonders to himself why that thought comes to him now. Below, he and his spiky-haired opponent clash violently while sprinting across the uneven stone ground. Impact lines and motion blur mark their rapid exchanges as the opponent presses forward. Gon pulls ahead slightly. In a wide panel the opponent thinks that he was wrong—this guy's movements haven't really slowed down. Gon has gotten faster. A massive close-up of Gon's face fills the bottom of the page, surrounded by radiating lines. He realizes the difference between the force gained when fighting an enemy and the experience of fighting with your life at risk. So that's the difference.

The spiky-haired opponent continues to shout while running. He yells that Gon said this way was a short-cut and that is why he does not like going through these slums. In the next moment the opponent is shown lying flat on his back in the dirt, arms and legs splayed, covered in fresh wounds and dust. A small inset shows only Gon's eye and part of his face looking down at the fallen man. The opponent has been completely defeated.

A pair of wide, sweat-drenched eyes stare upward in anguish. The character thinks, 'I... I only...' and 'I didn't expect gratitude or anything...' A close-up reveals more sweat drops and a tense expression. The thought continues across a dark, textured panel: 'That's all!! I wanted to live.' The final panel shows a barren rocky landscape under a clear sky.

Ten days later, Biscuit sits on a rock formation with her chin resting on her hand, watching the scene below. A sudden powerful impact erupts with the sound effect 'HAA!!' and large motion lines as someone strikes. Gon stands with arms crossed and says 'It's fine already...' Killua is on his knees, head bowed, pleading 'Kill me...' and 'I don't have any chance of winning...' Gon watches silently from a short distance.

Gon beams with gratitude, sweat flying from his face as he shouts his thanks. "THANKS TO YOUR HELP, WE MADE GREAT PROGRESS!" he exclaims, then adds, "BINOLT-SAN, THANK YOU!" Binolt, still on his knees, responds with visible tension. "WILL YOU LET ME LEAVE GREED ISLAND UNDER THIS CONDITION?" he asks. Gon replies firmly, "WHEN I LEAVE GREED ISLAND... I'LL GIVE MYSELF UP." Binolt bows deeply, sweat dripping, and utters "OSU!!" as the impact lands. Biscuit, arms crossed in the shadows, orders, "GO AWAY." Later, Gon and Killua discuss the events. Gon says, "BUT HE TAUGHT US A LOT." Killua agrees, "YEAH." Biscuit questions from off-panel, "YOU KNOW HE'S A FIRST LEVEL SERIAL KILLER?" and notes, "THAT WAS YOUR PLAN ALL ALONG." In the final panel Gon smiles brightly and states, "THEREFORE, THERE'S DANGER." Biscuit answers with a serious expression, "YOU'RE FLAWLESS."
