Face Off Part 11

00
A blinding flash erupts across the court as a massive ball streaks forward with overwhelming force. Razor crouches low in the foreground, muscles tensed, hands clasped tightly together as he braces against the impact. Above him, a small fighter wearing a bandana and necklace leaps through the air, body angled sharply toward the incoming projectile. Razor's thoughts race in jagged speech bubbles: "BUT IF I DO MY BODY WILL PROBABLY BE KNOCKED OUT OF THE COURT." Another bubble reads, "WHAT UNEXPECTED POWER! I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CATCH IT..." Below, two large circular panels emphasize his dilemma: "HOWEVER, I CAN'T RUN AWAY EITHER" and "CATCHING IT IS OUT OF THE QUESTION." The title "No.168 ◆ FACE OFF PART 11" floats at the top amid radiating speed lines.

Razor springs into action on the left, shouting "COME ON!" as he prepares to receive the ball. The enormous ball dominates the upper half of the page, hurtling forward with a massive fist visible behind it. In the distance, Hisoka crouches ready. The bandana-wearing fighter is shown mid-air, hand raised defensively. Below, close-up reaction panels show several spectators: one asks "IS THAT SO?", another yells "DUMBASS! YOU'RE JUST SETTING THE BALL UP FOR HISOKA AGAIN!", and a third exclaims "HE'S GOING TO DEFLECT IT!?" Motion lines and impact effects fill the scene as the ball connects.

Gon stares in shock, eyes wide as the massive ball hurtles toward the group. "WHAT!!" someone yells. A teammate shouts desperately, "GON! RUN AWAY!" Another voice cries out in alarm, "HE DEFLECTED THE BALL STRAIGHT BACK AT US!" High above, a player leaps and successfully blocks the incoming projectile. "GOT IT!" he declares. In a dramatic full-page spread, Razor crouches low with intense focus, muscles tensed as motion lines explode around him. "THAT ALL DEPENDS..." he mutters. A smaller panel shows Killua in his bandaged state leaping forward, yelling, "YOU'LL STILL WIN WHEN IT GOES OUT OF BOUNDS!!" A stern-faced man with a goatee analyzes the situation: "FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR IN THIS MATCH, HE WON'T BE SATISFIED WITH JUST THAT!!" Another voice counters firmly, "NO! HE WON'T RUN!" Razor then makes his choice in a powerful close-up, declaring, "I CHOOSE TO DEFLECT THE BALL!!" as the ball is sent flying with tremendous force, sending Gon and Killua tumbling from the impact.

03
Razor lies on the ground after the massive exertion, body covered in impact marks and debris as speed lines streak across the panel. A starburst effect and symbols indicate the tremendous force released. Close-ups show his sweat-covered torso and a pained expression on his face. Narration boxes state: "AFTER RELEASING SO MUCH NEN, HIS BODY SHOULD BE COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED." and "HE FAINTED... THAT'S RIGHT." In the final panel, Razor stands tall with a fierce grin, arms spread wide as he addresses Gon directly: "THIS VICTORY BELONGS TO YOU, GON! YOU SHOULD FEEL PROUD!"
04
Hisoka hovers in midair against a backdrop of radiating speed lines, his body twisted in a dynamic pose with one arm extended forward and the other hand open near his chest. A large speech bubble declares, "IT'S NOT OVER YET." with a small heart symbol. Below, three close-up panels show Hisoka's face marked with a black star and club, sweat drops visible as he speaks. "ISN'T THAT RIGHT? GON." appears beside his star-marked cheek with another heart. Next to it, "VICTORY MUST BE ABSOLUTE." is shown with a club symbol. In the final panel, a short-haired man grimaces with eyes shut while a bearded subordinate stares in shock, a jagged bubble reading "WHY! WHY WOULD HE ON PURPOSE...!"

05
Against a black background, Hisoka leaps forward with hair flowing wildly, both hands gripping and stretching a long strand of elastic aura labeled "BUNGEE GUM!" in large letters. The gum extends across the page in thick, wavy lines that tear through multiple inset panels. Close-ups show Hisoka's focused face with the star mark, his hands pulling the gum taut, and fragments of the substance snapping and curling. Motion lines and impact shapes convey the rapid extension and force of the technique as it dominates the lower half of the page.
06
High above the court, Hisoka leaps with his arm extended, Bungee Gum stretching taut as the volleyball rockets back toward the opposing side in a brilliant burst of reflected force. Massive black impact letters explode across the panel while the words BUNGEE REFLECTION! appear beside the dramatic motion. Below, a dark-haired man watches with narrowed eyes and mutters HOW INTERESTING...! In the lower right, two of Razor's subordinates react in shock: one shouts HE DEFLECTED IT BACK!! while the other yells OOOHHH! A third subordinate, muscular and scarred, leans forward yelling YOU WANT TO HIT IT BACK AND FORTH!! The ball streaks past motion lines and debris as the intense rally continues.

Hisoka crouches low in a powerful stance, muscles tensed, as he prepares to launch the volleyball with full force. The panel erupts with speed lines and the bold declaration LET'S SEE WHO'LL LAST LONGER!! In the next moment he slams the ball downward, the impact creating a massive black SFX and sending shockwaves through the court. A close-up shows the volleyball spinning violently in his grip before release. Below, a pair of wide, intense eyes reacts with !!? as the throw connects.
08
Razor looms over the scene with wide eyes and outstretched hands, shocked as the ball fails to bounce away from him. Below, Hisoka stands calmly with a star marking on his cheek, sweat visible on his face. A thought bubble reveals Hisoka analyzing the situation: the ball has both the properties of chewing gum and rubber, marked with a club symbol. Another bubble notes 'BUNGEE GUM...'. In the lower panel, Razor is shown crouching in agony, mouth open in a massive scream as impact lines and debris explode around him. The ball appears caught or redirected by an unseen force, sending shockwaves across the ground.
09
Razor crouches alone in a pitch-black space, gripping the ball tightly with both hands. The scene shifts to a wide overhead view of the dodgeball court where multiple players are positioned: one figure leaps high with motion lines, others stand near the center circle, and smoke or dust clouds mark movement trails. In the bottom panel, close-up portraits show a masked figure with a diamond emblem and sharp teeth, a bearded muscular man, a spiky-haired character, and two other onlookers with concerned expressions.

A towering masked figure in black raises an arm and announces the ruling. "HE'S OUT! THIS MATCH IS OVER." Another voice immediately follows: "REIZA CAUGHT THE BALL WHILE OUT OF BOUNDS, PENALTY!" The declaration rings out across the court: "THE VICTORY BELONGS TO TEAM GON!!" Gon sits cross-legged on the floor, hands resting on his knees, while Killua leans far over the railing, sweat flying, eyes wide in disbelief. "EH...?" Large impact lines streak across the panel. Below, the spectators surge forward, fists pumping. "YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!" they roar. "WOOOO!"
11
Killua stands amid swirling celebration marks, shouting "WE WON! WE BEAT THEM!!" He immediately questions the result: "WHAT HAPPENED IN THE END?" and "EH? BUT..." In a side panel Hisoka smiles with eyes closed, admitting "I LOST COMPLETELY." Biscuit, standing with hands on hips, remarks "IN THE END, HE HOGGED ALL THE GLORY." Killua replies "THEN, IT WAS REALLY HISOKA'S VICTORY..." Razor drops into a low stance and slams the ball down with a loud *BOOM*. Hisoka counters with a gentle smile, "THAT KIND OF MODESTY DOESN'T FIT YOU AT ALL." He continues, "THAT WE WERE ABLE TO WIN THE MATCH." "IT WAS BECAUSE OF EVERYONE'S POWER..."
12
Razor's damaged shoe is shown up close with motion lines. "WE HAVE LOST," a voice states. Inside the gym, Gon stands with his back to the viewer while Killua looks up at Razor. "I forgot what we were fighting for," Gon says. "OH YEA," Killua replies. Razor, hands on his hips, answers, "WE WILL LEAVE THIS ISLAND AS AGREED." A close-up shows Razor's calm, smiling face as he continues, "I SHOULD PROBABLY ANSWER... BUT BEFORE THAT." Killua watches with wide eyes and a sweat drop. The final panel explodes outward with speed lines around Gon, whose face is drenched in sweat and shock. "YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT JIN," Razor's voice declares. Gon reacts with a double exclamation mark. A caption at the bottom reads: "TOTAL VICTORY! FINALLY SOME NEWS ABOUT JIN?!"
13
Large title text reads "HUNTER X HUNTER 168 FACE OFF PART 11". Below it is a full-body illustration of Razor crouching low with hands clasped in front of him, smirking. Credits list translator: sushijerk, proofreader: krynn, editor: knives, scanner: ukoziak, quality check: s206.
