No.171 ◆ Attack of Three Part 2

00
Gensuru stands with arms crossed, a dark-haired girl visible just behind his shoulder. A box lists missing cards: No.0, No.2 "ONE YARD OF COASTLINE", and No.75 "LUCKY ALEXANDER". Gensuru speaks, recalling his earlier order. "I recall myself saying that you were to come alone...?" Below, Tsezugera faces forward with his team partially visible. Their own missing-cards box shows No.0, No.17 "ARCHANGEL'S BREATH", No.75 "LUCKY ALEXANDER", and No.81 "BLUE PLANET". Tsezugera explains they tried to resolve the issue internally. "We were just working it out. There were some disagreements within the group. But... we've finally come to a decision." Far below on the rocky plain, a cluster of five figures stands together while three smaller figures—Gon, Killua, and Biscuit—look up in surprise. "OH?"

Gensuru, Tsezugera, and two other men stand side by side holding open books of cards. Tsezugera raises one card high. "THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN!" Three rapid panels show a figure being hurled through the air, a group scattering, and Gensuru turning sharply. Close-ups capture shocked faces as someone yells "USE 'THIEF'!!" Tsezugera crouches low, book open before him, and shouts two commands at once. "MASADORA!" "USE 'ACCOMPANY'"

A massive burst of energy erupts on the right side of the path as three figures walk away into the distance. The spiky-haired man, the long-haired figure, and the shorter companion continue forward without looking back. In the foreground the glasses-wearing man shouts 'BOOK!' and opens his card binder. The long-haired companion replies 'SAME WITH ME!' while the spiky-haired man states 'NO PROBLEM. NO IMPORTANT CARDS WERE STOLEN.' The glasses-wearing man orders 'CHECK YOUR CARDS FIRST!' The spiky-haired man declares 'WE'LL KILL THEM AND TAKE THE CARDS.' The long-haired figure concludes 'I GUESS IT'S DECIDED.' The glasses-wearing man adds 'MINE ARE FINE AS WELL.' In a close-up the glasses-wearing man clenches his fist and exclaims 'THOSE GUYS WERE READY TO FACE DEATH!! EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED...' A small panel shows 'HMM?' followed by 'IT MIGHT NOT BE SO EASY.'

An open binder displays multiple copies of cards including six ACCOMPANY, nine CASTLE GATE, two MAGNETIC FORCE, and twenty-four RETURN. A voice states 'WE'VE USED UP ALL OUR MONEY TO GET THESE.' In the forest a lone figure walks along a path while others stand among the trees. The group discusses survival: 'UNTIL THEN, KEEP GATHERING MONEY TO BUY THE NECESSARY CARDS.' 'OK, WE HAVE TO SURVIVE THE NEXT THREE WEEKS.' 'WE SHOULD BE SAFE FOR THE MOMENT.' 'YOU THINK GENSURU'S GONNA CATCH UP WITH US?' A close-up shows a scarred man saying 'IF THEY'RE USING NO.96 "ALL SEEING SNAKE" THEN THEY SHOULD BE WELL AWARE OF THIS.' He continues 'RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ALMOST TWICE AS MANY COPIES OF "ACCOMPANY" AS THEM.' The final panel shows a dramatic low-angle view of legs with the text 'OF A ONE STAR HUNTER!! I'LL SHOW YOU THE BATTLE TACTICS...'

Gon launches a powerful strike forward with his right fist extended, sweat flying from his body amid heavy motion lines and impact bursts. Biscuit, in her small form with pigtails, is positioned just ahead of the blow, her back partially turned as the force connects near her. In a close-up, Gon’s determined face appears with mouth open and fist clenched tightly. Another panel shows Gon’s intense expression as he exhales sharply. The sequence ends with a dramatic full shot of Gon raising both fists, eyes wide and focused, as a bright radial burst erupts behind him with the large onomatopoeia "KOU"! dominating the panel.

Biscuit, shown in profile with a serious expression, explains the timing of Zetsu. She warns that the instant something touches the skin, the user must activate Zetsu or risk being caught. In the distance, Gon runs across rocky terrain toward Biscuit, who stands with hands on hips. A wide landscape panel shows Gon and Biscuit as tiny figures on a cliff edge with motion lines indicating movement. Biscuit continues speaking, noting that the next two weeks will focus on defensive tactics and that emission exercises will follow after a ten-minute break. Gon responds affirmatively. The final panel is a close-up of Biscuit’s face against a black background as she declares they need another kind of weapon to fight.

On a barren rocky plain, a close-up shows a hand demonstrating palm floating beside floating legs labeled Emission Training Level 2. Biscuit floats upside down in her frilly dress, instructing Gon who watches from below. She says, "RELY ONLY ON YOUR NEN." "YOUR BODY DOESN'T MOVE." "IN THIS POSITION..." A close-up captures Gon's focused face with intense motion lines. In a dramatic wide panel, Biscuit's body lifts higher as energy radiates outward. Gon stumbles back with wide eyes and two exclamation marks as Biscuit declares, "YOUR BODY WILL FLOAT!"

Against a dark void with swirling clouds, Biscuit continues floating upside down while Gon stands on glowing ground emitting bright light rays. Biscuit tells him he needs to levitate at this minimum level to pass. Gon falls forward onto the rocky ground with arms outstretched, replying "ALRIGHT!" In a dramatic close-up, Gon's face fills the panel with intense eyes and a wide grin as he shouts "HA!!!!" with radiating speed lines.

On a rocky, open training ground, Gon balances upside down in a one-handed handstand, sweat flying as he strains to push his body upward. "YES!" he shouts in response. Biscuit stands nearby, arms crossed, commanding, "MAINTAIN THAT POSITION. KEEP TRYING!" Gon grunts with effort, "HO!!" "HA!!" as motion lines and impact bursts emphasize each painful repetition. In the next panel Killua, hair wild and back to the viewer, speaks with Biscuit. "IT'S NOT RECOVERING ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE AT ALL," he reports. Biscuit, seated calmly, asks, "HOW'S YOUR HAND?" Killua answers, "IT STILL HURTS WHEN I TRY TO MOVE ANY PART OF IT." Biscuit turns toward Gon, who continues the exercise, and states, "OF COURSE IT'S HARD, THAT IS ACTUALLY A LEVEL 5 EXERCISE." She adds, "THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL IS SO MUCH HIGHER AFTER JUST ONE LEVEL... ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT TRAINING..." Gon, still inverted, mutters a strained "S..." as he fights to hold position.

Biscuit continues explaining the training’s purpose while Killua listens with a serious expression. "TO MASTER IT IN THREE WEEKS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE," she notes. Killua replies, "FOR HIM... IT'S A RISKY GAMBLE." Biscuit adds, "IT IS REALLY OKAY TO GO STRAIGHT TO LEVEL 5 LIKE THAT..." Killua counters, "BUT THAT WON'T HELP AT ALL IN BATTLE." Biscuit insists, "IF I'M RIGHT, HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH LEVEL 3." She stresses, "YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE AT LEAST THAT LEVEL OF SKILL TO STAND A CHANCE IN BATTLE." Biscuit then turns to the group and asks, "BISCUIT, WHAT ABOUT YOUR ABILITY?" Killua answers, "IF I KNOW, IT SHOULD HELP US AT LEAST A LITTLE ON THE BATTLEFIELD." Biscuit confirms, "SO WE CAN ONLY SEE THIS AS A METHOD TO LEVEL THE FIELD." She warns, "BUT EVEN IF HE REACHES LEVEL 5, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE OF VICTORY..." Killua finishes, "THAT'S LEVEL 5..."

A shadowy silhouette stands amid jagged black flames against a backdrop of vertical stripes. Beside it, Biscuit appears in a frilly black-and-white dress with a large bow, her ponytail tied neatly as she poses confidently. The flames and dramatic lines emphasize the mysterious entrance. In the next panel, Gon stares in shock, eyes wide and sweat flying, with a large !! sound effect beside him. The bottom panel shows a close-up of two figures: an unidentified long-haired girl with heart motifs on her outfit and Biscuit leaning in, her expression serious. Biscuit declares, "Allow me to introduce my power." The long-haired girl adds, ""SUPER BEAUTICIAN (MAGICAL AESTHE) MISS YOCHI.""

Biscuit stands tall in a new outfit resembling a nurse uniform with heart cutouts and a name tag, one hand on her hip. Large starburst effects surround her as explanatory text details her massage techniques that turn Nen into lotion for youth restoration and beauty. On the left, small panels show Gon reacting with surprise, then tumbling down stairs while protesting that the abilities are useless. Biscuit continues describing how her fingers can relieve arthritis and muscle tension. At the bottom, Gon lies on the floor with a dazed, sweating expression, his face contorted in disbelief.

Under a darkening sky above silhouetted trees, three figures sit on rocks at the base of a large tree. The long-haired man with a cross mark on his forehead stares forward with a stern expression while the two spiky-haired men beside him, also marked, sit with arms crossed or relaxed. A sudden close-up reveals the long-haired man's eyes widening in alarm as a bright flash erupts nearby. In the next instant a sleek projectile streaks through the air with intense motion lines, and a hand lunges desperately from below to intercept it.

In the forest the long-haired man shouts 'HOLD IT STOP!' while lunging forward. The spiky-haired man with glasses warns 'IS IT THEM?' as another spiky-haired man yells 'FORGET IT, YOU WON'T CATCH THEM.' The long-haired man charges and strikes with a powerful blow amid radiating speed lines. Someone commands 'USE "RETURN".' as a massive impact erupts with the cry 'MEIFU-RABI!' The long-haired man glares and states 'THAT SNEAK ATTACK WAS MEANT TO KILL...' while the spiky-haired man with glasses notes 'THEY'RE... GETTING BOLDER BY THE DAY!' The long-haired man curses 'BASTARDS!' The other spiky-haired man wonders 'HOW CAN THEY ANTICIPATE OUR EVERY MOVE?' and concludes 'NO... THAT'S NOT THE REAL PROBLEM.'

In a forested area, a spiky-haired figure stands with hands clasped, facing a person seen from behind. A voice declares, "IT'S THE NEN USER." Nearby, a stern-faced man with slicked-back hair states, "NOR WERE WE FOLLOWED." He continues, "WE KNOW THEY'RE NOT USING 'MAGNETIC FORCE' OR 'ACCOMPANY' TO FLY HERE." Another panel shows the same man explaining, "WE SWITCH LOCATIONS AFTER EVERY ATTACK, BUT THEY'VE TRACKED US DOWN EACH TIME..." A separate voice adds, "THEY'RE USING A 'HIT AND RUN' TACTIC OF STRIKING AND THEN USING SPELLS TO ESCAPE." A close-up reveals an eye peering through a hand gesture as narration concludes, "THE ONLY SOLUTION IS THAT THEY HAVE A NEN USER WITH A RADAR-LIKE ABILITY AMONG THEM." The man with glasses adjusts his eyewear and says, "THEY'RE NOT USING TRACKING DEVICES OR SPELL CARDS..." In the next scene, he asks, "SO WHAT DO WE DO?" while a small figure with curly hair stands beside the spiky-haired person. The response comes, "US RUNNING IS USELESS." The man concludes with determination, "TO MORE EFFECTIVE METHODS..." A final close-up shows his intense expression as he finishes, "WE'LL HAVE TO RESORT ..."
