High above the court, a volleyball spins violently against a burst of radiant light. Reiza leaps into the air, body arched back with arms drawn for a powerful spike, his eyes focused upward. Below, three figures watch in shock. Gon, wearing his headband and chain necklace, stares with wide eyes. Killua stands beside him with spiky white hair, and a third man with slicked-back hair and a sweat drop on his face reacts with tension. Speech bubbles erupt from the spectators: "REIZA IS GOING TO USE..." "VOLLEYBALL'S SPIKE KILL!" "COULD IT BE..." "THOSE OTHER 3!!" The word "FUSION!!" explodes vertically across the lower panel in massive letters as the three on the ground appear to merge or coordinate their stance.

A massive swirling impact erupts across the page as a figure is hurled backward by tremendous force. Reiza's body twists violently in mid-air from the collision. In smaller panels, Gon stares forward with intense focus, Killua glances sideways with narrowed eyes, and the slicked-back hair man smirks slightly. A close-up shows Reiza's determined face as he declares, "I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO!!" The final panel reveals Reiza landing or recovering with a fierce expression, the word "DECIDED!!" slashing across the motion lines. A narration box states "THE WINNER WILL NOW BE ...."

Hisoka and Killua brace together against a massive incoming force, their bodies locked in a defensive stance as impact lines explode outward. The word DEFENSE!!!! slams across the panel in bold strokes. In the next sequence, Hisoka contains the attack with a focused expression while Killua stabilizes the formation below him. Hisoka's face appears in close-up, sweat trailing down his cheek. On the right, Gon lunges forward and successfully catches the ball with both hands, his eyes wide with determination.

Hisoka Killua Gon

The group is hurled violently through the air by the force of the impact. Hisoka leans over the others with a strained face, gripping tightly. Killua is twisted in the middle, while Gon clings to the ball at the bottom of the pile. Biscuit is visible among them, her small form caught in the chaotic tumble. Debris and motion lines fill the frame as the entire formation crashes downward, with multiple exclamation marks indicating the ongoing shock.

A sharp, crackling sound effect echoes across the top of the page: シュカカカ.. The scene shifts to two figures watching intently. A bald man with a beard stares to the side with a focused expression, while beside him a man in a black cap with a white square and jagged teeth design stands in silhouette. Suddenly the view widens to a dramatic action shot. A young man in a white shirt and black shorts with a jagged hem dashes forward at full speed, body leaning into the motion, one arm swinging back and the other forward, sweat and impact lines streaking around him. Dust and debris kick up from the ground as his shoes slam down. In the foreground, the back of another spiky-haired head is visible, partially obscured by swirling smoke and motion effects as the runner charges past.

The page explodes with radiating speed lines and impact effects. Gon, wearing a headband and tattered outfit, crouches powerfully while clutching a large striped ball with both hands, his face set in fierce determination and covered in sweat drops. Behind him, Hisoka stands with one hand on his chest and the other on his hip, watching calmly. Killua, spiky-haired and wide-eyed, leans forward in surprise nearby. A defeated figure lies sprawled on the ground with a ball still attached to one foot. In the foreground, spectators react wildly: one man shouts with mouth agape while others cheer and raise fists. Speech bubbles burst from the crowd: "HE CAUGHT IT!!!" and "OOOOOOH! AHAHAHAH!" The entire composition radiates shock and triumph at the successful catch.

In the high-ceilinged gymnasium, Gon stands in the foreground panting heavily with sweat flying off his face, a determined expression on his features. Behind him, Hisoka smiles with eyes closed and remarks, "TRULY IMPRESSIVE ...". In the background, several players cheer with raised arms as Gon leaps, shouting "YEAH!" "YEAH!". Large impact SFX dominate the upper panel. Hisoka continues analyzing the match, noting "ESPECIALLY THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE..." and "THEIR TEAMWORK DEFEATED MY STRENGTH." Close-ups show the players' distinctive shoes. A panel highlights Gon crouching with intense focus as narration states he deserves praise for his calmness and total focus, explaining that to catch the ball Gon-chan put all the Nen into his hands. Killua stands with arms crossed, looking serious, as Hisoka calls out "KILLUA! THAT YOUNGSTER." Further narration explains that without the combination of strength and speed they wouldn't have had a chance, and that in that same instant Hisoka cushioned the ball with his Nen so Gon wouldn't be knocked out.

Gon Killua Hisoka

The page continues the analysis of the three players' Nen abilities. Text boxes state that Killua is providing both defense and support while standing between the other two. A close-up shows Hisoka's narrowed eye as he notes Killua's ability to control Nen. A warning skull icon appears above the three players as text warns that all three would be hurt if too little Nen is used in the torso. Diagrams illustrate the players being knocked back by a ball, with notes that Killua would not provide enough support and would most likely be knocked out of the court. Further text emphasizes that no other technique demands such skill and experience, calling the battle of Nen the ultimate achievement. Close-ups of shoes highlight proper Nen distribution between upper and lower body, noting Killua had an error margin of less than 1%.

Killua Gon Hisoka

Biscuit stands with a serious expression, recalling her own training. "I DIDN'T ACHIEVE THAT LEVEL OF SKILL UNTIL AROUND 20 YEARS OLD," she thinks. "WHAT TERRIFYING TALENT...." Narration adds, "THE INSTINCTS OF A GENIUS MADE UP FOR HIS LACK OF EXPERIENCE. KILLUA HAS BEAUTIFULLY SURPASSED HIS LIMITS." Razor appears in profile, eyes narrowed. "I'LL BEAT THEM BEFORE THEY CAN FUSE!!!" he declares. "I COULD ATTACK UNTIL THEY'RE COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED, BUT THAT WOULD BE TROUBLESOME..." A black panel reads, "WILL COME AFTER THEY ATTACK...!! ...MY CHANCE." Gon stands ready with arms crossed, focused. Razor's large hand reaches out. "IN THAT ONE INSTANT.. THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE TIME TO FUSE!" Razor thinks, "I'LL FINISH YOU! IN THAT SECOND... EVEN THOUGH... GON'S ATTACK IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL... THE CURRENT ME SHOULD BE ABLE TO CATCH IT WITHOUT PROBLEM."

Biscuit Razor Gon Killua

Gon stands against a black background, eyes wide. "POWER... I NEED MORE..." he thinks. A massive impact panel shows Gon crouched low, gripping his arm tightly as aura explodes outward. "MORE!!" is written vertically in bold letters. Below, a row of stunned faces reacts: Razor's team members with sweat drops and shock, followed by Killua's surprised expression. Motion lines and impact effects fill the page, emphasizing Gon's sudden surge of power.

Gon KilluaRazor's subordinates

A tall, broad-shouldered man with spiky hair stands with his back to the viewer, staring into a blazing white explosion of energy that dominates the darkness. At the heart of the blast floats a small boy with a spiky crown of hair, headband, and shorts, his stance calm and powerful. The foreground man, face bruised and sweating, mutters in disbelief, "...WASN'T HIS FULL POWER!?" while another voice adds, "THE FIRST TIME.." Below, a close-up shows a bearded man with wide eyes shouting "MONSTER!!" Two boys wearing headbands and necklaces stare forward with intense, sweat-streaked faces. A bearded man on the right gasps, "TH.. THIS.. IS.." The bottom of the page displays large text: "YOU SHOULD BE GLAD." and "JIN."

The same boy now stands tall in the center of the frame, surrounded by jagged white energy against blackness. His right fist is clenched and raised, left hand open, face set in a fierce glare. Speech bubbles declare "... YOUR CHILD!" and "THIS BOY IS MOST DEFINITELY ...." Below, the scene shifts to a rocky area where the boy, now wearing boots and a tank top, faces another spiky-haired child. The boy shouts "ROCK!" while the other child replies "FIRST UP IS ..." A close-up shows the boy saying, "I'M GOING TO USE FULL POWER." The spiky-haired child answers, "KILLUA.." and warns, "I'LL KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU HOLD BACK." The boy responds, "YOU'D BETTER."

Gon crouches low in a powerful stance, his body coiled with energy as massive speed lines and impact bursts explode around him. His headband flutters, eyes narrowed in fierce concentration. In the lower panels, close-ups capture his determined face beneath the headband while two smaller insets show blurred reaction shots from onlookers. Speech bubbles burst forth with sharp cries: 'KEN!!' and 'JAN!!'

Gon

A dramatic close-up shows Gon's intense face, eyes locked forward with unyielding focus. His fist is drawn back, radiating power as jagged speed lines and a massive starburst effect surround the moment. Large lettering declares 'PON !!' while a narration box emphasizes the weight of the strike: 'THE BREATH-TAKING FINAL ATTACK!!'
