DUELS 5

Action erupts across multiple panels. A small player numbered 4 is launched upward in a burst of light and motion lines. The spiky-haired player in the vest delivers a powerful kick labeled DORA! with intense speed lines and impact effects. In the next panel a small player numbered 2 is struck, sending another figure flying backward with a jish! sound effect. The spiky-haired player and the pigtail girl react to the hit. In the bottom section the spiky-haired player, now shown with a striped collar, pumps his fist and announces the first elimination. A small spiky-haired boy watches nearby. The text reads "ONE DOWN TO START THE SHOW!" and "OH! GOT 'IM!!" as the defeated player tumbles through the air.

Tsezguerra raises a volleyball high overhead with a determined expression and calls out, "ALRIGHT, LET'S GIVE 'ER ANOTHER GO!" A massive furry beast-like player stands ready on the court while Biscuit, a masked figure, and Killua watch from the side with surprised looks. The ball arcs through the air. In the next sequence, players scramble across the court as Gon lunges forward and delivers a powerful strike, shouting "HYUAH!" while motion lines emphasize the force. An observer remarks, "THIS IS TOO DAMN EASY!" and another voice adds, "OKAY! THAT'S TWO DOWN!" The wide view reveals the full court with players positioned around Gon holding the ball aloft as a small character exclaims, "ooh!"

Tsezguerra turns with a stern glare and asks, "DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?" A teammate responds, "HM?" while another group including a masked player finishes setting up, declaring, "ALL SET UP." and "OKAY." Tsezguerra smirks and confirms, "I SAID THAT THE PREPARATIONS TO TAKE YOU DOWN ARE ALL SET UP." From a low angle, Gon crouches with the ball and replies, "INTERESTING!" In the final panel, Gon launches a blazing fast shot directly at Tsezguerra, who braces himself as the ball streaks forward with the shout, "JUST TRY IT!!"

A boy with spiky black hair stares in wide-eyed shock, sweat flying from his face. In the next panel, Gon stands firm in his white shirt and shorts, blocking a massive incoming ball with a single outstretched hand. The impact creates a huge shockwave and bold SFX as the ball is halted mid-flight. Narration emphasizes the feat: someone exclaims that he stopped the attack with just one hand. Below, an opponent with slicked-back hair grins while holding a volleyball-like ball and declares that the counter-attack now begins. He adds 'Well then...' as the ball is prepared for the return. In the background, distant players react on the court. The spiky-haired boy reacts with disbelief, shouting 'A PASS?! FROM THAT FAR AWAY...?!' while motion lines show the ball rocketing across the field toward the far side of the court.

Gon leans back with intense effort, his body twisting as he hurls the ball forward with tremendous force. Heavy motion lines and speed effects emphasize the power of the throw. The ball becomes a blurred projectile streaking across the panel with dramatic impact lines trailing behind it.

A man with spiky black hair stands with his back to the viewer, staring across a vast distance at a brilliant, starburst explosion tearing through the air. A tiny distant figure appears near the blast. In close-up, Tsezguerra’s face twists in panic, sweat flying as he thinks “CATCH IT- UNHARMED?! CAN I?!” then “NO GOOD!!” and “DODGE… STRONG… FAST…”. Large block letters declare “NAY DEATH”. Tsezguerra reappears in a dynamic low-angle shot, arms raised defensively, mouth open as he shouts “WHITE GOREINU”!! Black impact shapes and motion lines emphasize the sudden force around him.

Gon and Killua react with surprise, eyes wide and mouths open. A smiling man in a light shirt holds a volleyball and remarks “NICE REBOUND.” On the right, Goreinu’s massive white furry Nen beast stands ready while other players watch. From behind, several figures observe the court; one notes “GOREINU’S ON THE OUTER COURT…?!”. Tsezguerra stares in shock with sweat drops while Gon and Killua appear small in the background. The smiling man concludes “I SEE…” and explains that Goreinu can change places with his Nen beasts, holding the volleyball as the beast looms behind him.

Tsezguerra stares grimly from the stands. "MUCH LESS THROUGHOUT THIS MATCH; OVERCOMING IT IS IMPOSSIBLE....!!" he declares. "THIS ISN'T THE KIND OF MENTAL IMAGE THAT YOU CAN WIPE AWAY IN A DAY..." In a stark vertical panel, a figure hunches as the narration states, "IN JUST AN INSTANT, HE FELT THE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR STRENGTH!!" Biscuit watches the field with wide eyes. "WHICH MEANS THIS IS THE EFFECT OF GOREINU'S MENTAL IMAGE, AFTER HAVING SEEN LASER'S ATTACK," she explains. "THE NEN BEAST IS BREAKING DOWN INTO LITTLE BITS..." SFX: しゅるるる. Someone concludes flatly, "THAT GUY'S USELESS NOW." The masked figure with the diamond emblem raises a finger. "IT WAS AN EXCHANGE DUE TO NEN ABILITY, SO THIS ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF FOULS." "YES," he confirms. Killua, spiky hair catching the light, turns sharply. "IN THIS SITUATION, GOREINU'S NEN BEAST IS THE ONE WHO'S OUT, RIGHT?" Tsezguerra's expression darkens. The masked man continues, "WELL... IF HE USES THAT ABILITY WITH THE REMAINING BEAST, IT'S DIFFERENT, BUT... HOWEVER, IN ORDER FOR GOREINU TO RETURN TO THE INNER-COURT, A 'BACK' MUST BE CALLED." A close-up reveals a sweating, desperate face. "IS THIS HOW IT'S GOING TO END?!" the man grits out. "SHIT..."

On a wide soccer field, distant players scatter as motion lines streak across the pitch. A player in a torn shirt sprints at full speed. "ALRIGHT, NEXT!" he shouts. Gon and Biscuit stand at the railing. Gon exclaims, "THAT'S A FRIKKIN' HIGH-SPEED PASS!" Biscuit reacts with surprise, "A PASS?!" The scene shifts to an overhead view of the court. Multiple figures dodge incoming attacks marked by sharp lines and impact bursts. SFX: ビシッ, ビビ, ビシ. Players including a tall figure in a coat and others in varied outfits react to the rapid exchanges across the field.

A spiked orb hurtles across the arena at blinding speed, shattering the ground with each bounce. Motion lines streak wildly as the projectile ricochets with impossible velocity. Tsezguerra stares in shock, sweat flying from his face. "IT'S TOO FAST!!!" a voice cries. A massive impact bubble declares "A SUPER HIGH-SPEED PASS...! IT'S...". Tsezguerra grits his teeth, eyes wide. "I CAN'T FOLLOW IT AT ALL...!!!" he shouts. The ball curves sharply in its orbit. "NGH!" Tsezguerra grunts as he tries to track it. In the foreground Gon and Killua react with alarm. "BEHIND YOU!!!" Gon yells desperately while Killua stares in horror.

Tsezguerra's face twists in pain as the massive ball slams into him. "GWAH..." he gasps. The orb spins violently with impact stars and motion lines. Tsezguerra is launched backward, limbs flailing. Killua leaps into the air holding a volleyball, his expression fierce. Tsezguerra crashes to the ground, coughing and wheezing. Biscuit stands nearby with a shocked look. A caption reads "HITTING TSEZUGGERA AND KNOCKING HIM DOWN... AND THIS FORCE...!!!" Killua lands and remarks "THIS IS BAD...". Gon watches tensely. Another caption notes "THIS IS JUST LIKE A BOWLING BALL! IT'S HEAVY...!!" as Killua grimaces.

A voice calls out urgently for first aid on the injured player. Another speaker notes that even broken bones could damage internal organs, yet the man on the ground had quickly focused aura on his back to avoid fatal harm after reacting to a shouted warning. The wounded man, Tsezguerra, sits up with visible strain and refuses help, insisting he is fine. Nearby, Hisoka stands with a slight smile beside a masked figure wearing a helmet marked with a diamond. The masked referee explains the rules in detail: injuries do not count toward either court, so players must remain careful, and anyone too injured to continue must leave the court. Gon and Killua check on Tsezguerra while another teammate confirms he is also affected. The masked figure adds that if the team wins, all eight players will still be included. In a close-up, Tsezguerra glares intensely, reflecting bitterly on how long it will take to regain his intuition after months of overly cautious, guaranteed victories.

Gon and Killua discuss their agility and reflexes compared to raw ability, noting the other players excel in martial arts. Hisoka sweats heavily while internally cursing and reaffirming that his all-around ability should keep him on top. A flashback shows a player being knocked away amid floating balls and motion lines, emphasizing single-minded focus that Hisoka had forgotten after years without fundamental training. Hisoka appears in the background with a sly grin as Gon and Killua plan. Gon suggests an ideal strategy of continuing to knock opponents out without handing them the ball. Hisoka offers the ace of spades card and asks for the ball, which Gon hands over while reacting with surprise.

A dynamic volleyball match unfolds on a brightly lit court. In the upper panel, Hisoka leaps high into the air with flowing hair and intense focus, one leg extended powerfully as he spikes the volleyball. Dramatic motion lines and impact bursts surround him while a small figure is sent flying in the background. Large text declares: "IF HE USES THE 'BUNGEE GUM'!!" Below, Hisoka lands in a crouched pose with a star marking on his cheek, calmly explaining the technique: "THEN AFTER HE HITS SOMEONE, HE CAN CALL THE BALL BACK TO HIS HAND!" In the lower left panels, three players react on the court. A man in a black cap numbered 6 says "OF COURSE NOT." A spiky-haired player grins while another figure with a pompadour hairstyle and a small creature on his head chuckles "HEH HEH HEH." Hisoka, now shown in close-up holding the ball with a slight smile and sweat drop, replies: "WELL THEN, LET'S MAKE THIS FUN. ♦ YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LET IT END LIKE THIS, RIGHT?"
