In a sky filled with drifting clouds, a voice answers simply, "YES." Bubbles continue the discussion: "THEN 'SCISSORS' WOULD BE TRANSFORMATION ?" and "IF 'GULI' IS REINFORCEMENT, AND 'PAA' IS EMISSION..." Killua, with his spiky white hair, comments on the idea, "HIS IMAGINATION REALLY IS THAT OF A CHILD," "IT'S RATHER LOGICAL," and "I SEE... MAKING IT A BLADE..." Gon stands in the rocky terrain, swinging his arm in a chopping motion as stones fly apart with the sound effect "CHII...!!!" and the cry "JAN! KEN!" Someone notes, "SO I THOUGHT OF A WAY TO USE THAT TIME NICELY," and "WHEN YOU CONCENTRATE NEN IN YOUR FIST, YOU NEED TIME." In the wide rocky landscape below, Biscuit, Gon, and Killua stand together. Biscuit says, "THAT KIND OF INTUITION IS REALLY IMPORTANT." Gon replies, "OKAY." Biscuit adds, "AND I LIKE JANKEN PRETTY WELL," while Killua remarks, "WHEN YOU MENTIONED JANKEN, IT MADE ME THINK."
01
Biscuit tells Gon, "YOU'RE FINE." She continues, "I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU FOUND SOMETHING DURING YOUR PARTICULAR TRAINING," and "IT'S GOOD IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT SUITS YOU," adding, "ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEN SPECIAL TECHNIQUES, THAT FEELING IS REALLY IMPORTANT." Killua stands with his back to the viewer, his hair forming a black silhouette. Gon looks surprised, saying, "AH... AHEM!" Close-up panels show hands crackling with electricity marked by the SFX "IVチッ" and exclamation marks. Gon appears covered in electric sparks, hands raised as he explains, "BUT THE ELECTRIC POWER INCREASES WHEN I CHARGE IT," and "FOR NOW, IT'S ONLY AT THAT LEVEL..." Biscuit and Killua react with wide eyes in the background.
02
In a rocky, ruined landscape, Gon stands with his hands on his hips and declares he is ready. Biscuit, seen from behind with her pigtails, replies that she just needs to decide how to put her training to practical use. Killua stands nearby watching. Biscuit turns and remarks that Gon is more than a sorrowful kid—he is a terrible one. She notes it is a miracle he can still smile after the hell his life must have been. In the next panel Biscuit, now facing forward in her black dress, exclaims in surprise at Killua’s ability to transform his aura into electricity at his age, calling him a real electric eel. Gon grins widely beside her. Biscuit smiles softly and says the two boys make a really nice combination.
03
Biscuit asks if they should rest for the day, noting it is a bit early but they could have a party. Gon wonders how they celebrate in Killua’s country. Killua replies he was so focused on training he did not notice the outside world’s New Year is soon. Close-up panels show Gon and Killua looking surprised. Gon asks if they did not know that inside the game time passes at the same rate as the real world. The final large panel shows Gon running forward with arms outstretched, shouting about the Hunter Exam as motion lines radiate outward.
04
Gon stares ahead with a serious expression, musing that the training exercises have started to get interesting while noting the Hunter Exam takes place only once a year. Killua stands nearby on rocky ground, realizing it is that time of the year and warning that if you do not register quickly you will not be able to participate. Biscuit and Killua glance at each other as they confirm the date is December 29th. The group huddles together with urgency, declaring they need to get out of the game before the registration ends on the 31st. Gon raises both hands and shouts agreement, suggesting they check in Masadora. Biscuit explains that the guy they met a while ago told them there is a place where it is possible if they fulfill some conditions, while Killua wonders how they can leave the game and recalls that it might be possible to exit using a spell.
05
Gon, Killua, and Biscuit run through a bizarre landscape filled with floating balloon creatures, striped poles, and whimsical floating objects. Killua complains that Biscuit is going too fast while Biscuit urges him to hurry. Gon suggests they stop for information at a trade shop, but Biscuit insists they cannot waste time. The group approaches a mustached man in a jacket who points and explains that the guy in charge is a really bad fellow who asks unreasonable things of travelers. He warns that if they go to the west they will find the unique port of this country and states it will cost 3,000 jennis if they want to know how to leave the game.

06
Gon, Killua, and Biscuit discuss their next move after obtaining a card. A voice notes that some say the outcome depends on the target's mood that day. Another warns that a large amount of money may be needed to bribe the man at the port. Biscuit cautions that the card is pretty rare and difficult to obtain, urging care. Killua suggests heading to the port while Gon wonders whether to buy the card here instead. Biscuit concludes they have no bond with the city anyway. The three walk along a forest path as Killua remarks that the card looks like the worst option no matter how much money they use, and Gon agrees with a simple 'Right.'
07
The scene shifts to a dense forest. Gon, Killua, and Biscuit move cautiously through the trees and undergrowth. Distant figures are visible among the trunks. Killua glances sideways with a focused expression. Gon stares forward with intense eyes. Suddenly both boys activate Gyou, their faces sharpening with concentration as aura visibly flares. In the foreground, several aggressive creatures with spiky fur, large eyes, and weapons appear, including a massive snarling beast baring fangs and smaller humanoid figures holding staffs and a flag.

08
A massive wolf-like monster lunges forward with jaws open, its fur bristling wildly as it charges. Gon leaps high with his fishing rod extended while Killua darts in low, both boys striking the beast from different angles. The Chief of Wolf Pack, labeled C-45, slams its clawed foot down, creating a burst of impact that sends debris flying. In the background, smaller wolves snarl and circle. Biscuit watches from the foreground with a concerned expression, her ponytail swaying as she speaks. The monster card details its rank and abilities as the fight rages on. Gon and Killua press their assault, their movements coordinated despite the creature's immense size and power.

09
Gon and Killua stand in a city square near a large building marked GAY. Gon holds up a small card while speaking to Killua. A large Passing Ticket card labeled 266 B-150 is displayed, showing a stern-faced man in uniform holding a ticket. The card explains it is necessary for leaving Greed Island and can be acquired by buying it from the chief or beating him. Killua's face appears in close-up as he discusses strategy. Gon points upward with a confident expression. Biscuit's profile is shown reminding them to keep training by rotating Nen types. In the final panel, Gon, Killua, and Biscuit walk along a waterfront promenade, with Gon raising his arm and shouting okay as they head toward Masadora to continue training.
10
Biscuit explains the plan: when they return here, they will change the cards into money and deposit it in a bank account at a trade shop. From now on, they will settle around Masadora and continue the training. Gon agrees with a simple 'Ah...' and adds that his free slots are almost completely filled with monsters. Killua confirms with 'Right!' while pointing upward. Biscuit suddenly declares 'TRANSFORMATION LEVEL !!! SHAPE TRANSFORMATION!' and urges them to begin training while running. Gon begins practicing intensely, grunting 'RGH...' and 'NGH!' as he focuses. Biscuit holds up a card marked with a zero and states that their final aim is to make the numbers from zero to nine appear in less than one minute. She commands Gon to pay attention to what is in front of him. A sudden loud impact occurs with a 'BAM!!' and 'VOWCH!' sound effect as something strikes near the bushes.
11
Gon reacts with shock, eyes wide and mouth open as a bright flash effect surrounds him. A small inset shows Gon standing before an ornate circular door with intricate patterns. A large 'WELCOME.' sign appears as a masked woman with an elaborate headdress and feathered outfit greets the group inside a detailed, maze-like interior. Gon stands nearby looking around while a small child-like figure is visible in the background. Biscuit, now wearing a wide hat, questions if the woman is the same as at the start. The masked woman explains that players can choose from more than fifty ports and must select their desired destination. She notes that they want to leave the island and asks them to decide the destination. She adds that the color has changed but the rest is the same, and that they do a lot in games.

A voice explains the departure process: when leaving the island, all free data slots will disappear. The listener confirms understanding. Another exchange confirms there is one person in the port of Dore. A hand waves goodbye as a voice wishes the player an enjoyable return to the real world and hopes to meet again. A sudden bright flash erupts with a sharp "Pi" sound effect. The scene shifts to a bustling cityscape with buildings and a distant tower. Gon stands on a balcony overlooking the city and declares he is back in the real world. Nearby, another boy with similar spiky hair wonders aloud why he does not feel any different. Gon crouches, examining his hand, and shouts "BOOK!" A small inset panel shows a young child holding a card-like object with a surprised expression.

13
Gon stares at a large digital clock displaying 15:08 and 19:98 while exclaiming that more than three months have really passed. He walks down a staircase inside a building, noting that something does not work here. In close-up, Gon points forward with his right hand and declares "HOME!" He then smiles and announces that registration is complete. Standing in a park-like area with trees and a monument, Gon decides he must first take a shower and change clothes before heading to the solitary Cryptomeria tree. He identifies the meeting place of the exam as Biisuka-Fumaro but admits he has no clue where it is. A laptop and printer are shown outputting paper. Gon looks surprised with a sweat drop as a small speech bubble appears beside him.
14
A massive explosion erupts in the forest, sending shockwaves and debris flying. Killua and Biscuit react sharply to the distant blast. Killua says, "THAT SOUND ..." Gon runs toward the source while Biscuit stands nearby. In the aftermath, Genthru crouches with a smoking shoulder device, flames licking around him. Biscuit asks, "WASN'T THERE ONE MORE PERSON WITH YOU...?" Genthru remains silent at first. Gon and Killua approach cautiously. Killua wonders, "YOU'RE ..." Biscuit points out, "THAT MECHANISM ON YOUR SHOULDER... ? WHAT IS IT, EXACTLY?" Genthru looks up and declares, "ANYWAY, LET ME EXPLAIN." He adds, ""BOMBER" DID IT."
15
Gon sits alone on the ground in a vast white space, knees drawn up and head lowered. His clothes are torn and dirtied, with visible scrapes on his arms and legs. He remains motionless, eyes downcast, conveying exhaustion and quiet defeat.
