Chapter 175 · ATTACK OF THREE, PT.6

00AI-written

A whimsical top panel illustrates the rules of the game with cartoonish figures: a striped cat-like creature, a panda, and floating orbs. Narration explains that each of them also has a copy of "RETURN" so it's as if they have 4 copies of "ACCOMPANY", and altogether they only have 3 copies of "ACCOMPANY". In the forest below, a tall man in a long coat with a large cross emblem stands confidently, holding up a small object while speaking. He notes that the side already has 6 copies of "ACCOMPANY" and it should be more than enough. Nearby, a spiky-haired young man with a scar on his forehead listens intently. Another panel shows the same spiky-haired youth from the side as he says even though they might not even have to fight them, the brat with black broom-like hair is his. The tall man continues that they're ready to go at any time. In a lower panel, the spiky-haired youth tells Bati he'll leave the girl to him while another voice says Shabu will take care of the one with shifty eyes. Three figures sit on the ground: a girl with long dark hair, the spiky-haired youth, and another seated companion. At the bottom of the page, a hand dramatically holds up a numbered card labeled 1039 P-130 as Gon shouts to use "ACCOMPANY" amid impact burst effects.

A massive sound effect "ギイイイイ" erupts across the top with radiating speed lines and impact slashes indicating a powerful strike or movement. Below it, a smaller panel shows "シュウゥ.." as a cloud-like effect drifts. The page title repeats. In the large lower panel, Gon, Killua, and Biscuit stand with their backs to the viewer in a rocky canyon landscape. Gon and Killua face forward with clenched fists, while Biscuit stands slightly to the side. In the distance across the open ground, several figures including Tsezugera's group members and Gensuru's subordinates are visible approaching or standing among the rocks and cliffs.

Close-up profiles show a stern man with spiky hair and sunglasses facing right, followed by Gon glaring forward with a determined expression. The man appears again with eyes closed and a diamond-shaped mark on his forehead. Killua looks back over his shoulder with a serious gaze. A long-haired figure is shown in profile, then Biscuit stares ahead with wide eyes and a bead of sweat. In a wide rocky clearing bordered by a tall stone wall, distant figures stand on both sides. Speech bubbles read: "WE'RE ONLY HERE TO PROPOSE A DEAL.", "DON'T ACT SO ALARMED.", and "WHAT DO YOU WANT?". Biscuit, hands near her mouth, thinks "THAT WE WERE PREPARED FOR THEIR ARRIVAL...!". Killua replies "GOOD... DON'T LET THEM DETECT" and questions "BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING! A DEAL?".

The man with sunglasses declares "EVEN TSEZUGERA ALREADY AGREED TO IT." and urges "JUST HEAR US OUT. IT'S A VERY REASONABLE DEAL." A large "NO!" burst panel erupts. He continues "THEN, I'LL TAKE OVER THERE AND WE CAN TALK." while asking "DO YOU WANT TO HEAR IT?". The distant side reacts with "...WHAT!?". From behind, Biscuit instructs "WE HAVE TO PRETEND THAT WE ARE CLUELESS. WE MUST LOOK VULNERABLE." and approves "GOOD... JUST LIKE THIS." Gon adds "WE'LL TALK FROM HERE!". A distant figure calls "WHAT A LIAR.". Biscuit's close-up emphasizes "THAT'S THE IMPRESSION WE NEED!" and "WE HAVE TO LOOK AS IF WE'RE DESPERATE...!". A hand gestures while stating "WE WANT TO SHARE THE REWARD!" and "THAT'S NO PROBLEM, BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS SIMPLE.".

Against a vast rocky canyon under drifting clouds, a voice proposes the deal: "ONCE WE RETURN TO REALITY, WE'LL COLLECT THE REWARD FROM BATTERA AND SPLIT IT WITH YOU." Another adds, "WE'LL COMPLETE THE GAME IN EVERYONE'S PLACE." The offer hangs: "AGREEABLE?" On the left, Tsezugera, spiky-haired and wearing glasses, counters the suspicion. "WEREN'T YOU TARGETING US FOR ELIMINATION?" "HOW CAN WE TRUST YOU?" he is asked. He replies firmly, "AS PROOF, TSEZUGERA HAS ALREADY CHANGED THE GAME. YOU CAN VERIFY THIS. WE'VE CHANGED OUR MIND." A smaller figure in the distance watches as the response comes: "I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH PROOF FOR US TO TRUST YOU. WE KNOW HE LEFT." Gon, black spiky hair and wide eyes, stares intently. Tsezugera leans in, voice low and threatening: "YOU WANNA DIE?" "SO, DO YOU WANT TO DO?" His face fills the final panel, eyes narrowed behind cracked glasses, hand gripping a pipe-like object as he snarls, "OR ELSE YOU DIE!" and "CUT THE BULLSHIT AND GIVE US THE CARDS."

Gon shouts "TO SOUFEIRABI!" while holding up a card labeled "USE 'ACCOMPANY'!" with a 1000-point cost and magnetic-force icon visible. A sharp impact SFX "!!!" erupts as Tsezugera reacts in surprise. He mutters, "NO 'MAGNETIC FORCE', NO 'LEAVE', WHO ARE THEY KIDDING?" and notes, "HERE THEY ONLY HAVE 2 MORE COPIES OF 'ACCOMPANY'." Distant figures stand near ruined stone structures; one panel shows "O...!" while another reads "ONE COPY LEFT..." In the final panel Gon, Killua, and Biscuit appear together. Gon yells "USE 'RETURN'! TO MASADORA" while holding a card, Biscuit grips another card with a serious expression, and Killua watches from the side with narrowed eyes.

Three figures crouch low in the grass as massive impact lines and swirling arrows tear across the landscape behind them. A voice urgently calls out to use Accompany on Gon. In the next panels, a long-haired man with a star emblem on his cloak stands holding a card marked with a cross, while a woman with long dark hair looks on. They discuss the group's direction: probably heading for the dock to escape to reality, or possibly west toward Masadora to buy more cards. A bright flash and sharp SFX erupt as a small white creature darts away. The bottom panel reveals a surreal landscape filled with floating balloon-like creatures, striped orbs, checkered spheres, and cactus-shaped figures, all marked with soft ホゥン sound effects and a large ダァーン impact near a curved structure.

A spiky-haired man with glasses notes that the targets concealed their aura and taken cover, realizing he did not expect this. In the forest clearing, small round creatures with striped bodies and smiling faces comment that the targets could not have gotten far and are still in the forest. Three children with spiky black hair, white spiky hair, and a girl with a bow appear side by side with intense expressions. A hand points toward the creatures while declaring they are in trouble if the targets buy cards and ordering someone to check the spell shop. The star-emblem man and the long-haired woman stand before a large checkered-floor building with an arched entrance; the man insists they have no choice but to make sure, while the woman states the targets could still be hiding around here and confirms they headed west but have not been there yet.

Gon shouts urgently as a glowing card labeled F-130 appears in the air. The card displays fish-like creatures and Japanese text, with a command to use 'ACCOMPANY'. A massive burst of energy erupts in the forest, sending debris and shockwaves flying through the trees. In the aftermath, a towering muscular man with spiky hair leans forward aggressively, his body marked with motion lines and impact effects. Small figures of Gon, Killua, and Biscuit crouch in the grass at the bottom right, watching the threat. The large man appears to have just struck or been struck, with black impact shapes crossing the panel.

A woman with a ponytail warns that they are out of 'ACCOMPANY' cards while a spiky-haired man tells her not to lose the targets. In the forest, Gon, Killua, and Biscuit sprint away as pursuers shout that they have been found. The group runs desperately through dense trees and foliage. A large muscular man with a scar on his forehead smirks and comments that the targets are pretty fast, while questioning how long they can maintain their speed. Motion lines and impact effects emphasize the high-speed chase through the woods.

Gon stands alone at the top of the page, his spiky black hair framing a stern, focused expression as he stares straight ahead. Below, four narrow panels show close profiles of a long-haired figure, Biscuit crouching with her hair in a bun, Killua with his wild white hair, and another man’s sharp profile. The scene shifts to a dense forest clearing. A tall man in a long coat stands with his back to the viewer, facing Gon, Killua, Biscuit, and several others scattered among the trees. He speaks with a mocking tone while holding something small in his hand. Speech bubbles read: “HAVE YOU DECIDED TO GIVE UP THE CARDS?” and “HEHEHE, WHAT’S THE MATTER? NO MORE HIDE AND SEEK?” An empty rectangular bubble floats near the trees. The group remains tense, positioned defensively across the uneven forest floor.

Killua’s face appears in close-up, his eyes narrowed as he thinks they are being forced into a one-on-one fight. Gon stares forward with a serious expression. A tall figure declares they will never hand over the cards. Another voice echoes “NEVER!” Gon’s eyes widen in reaction. A voice challenges them to fight first if they want the cards. Killua grimaces, realizing they must now bait and split their opponents. Gon suddenly shouts in alarm. A dramatic panel shows Gon lunging forward with motion lines as someone yells “GON, DON’T!” The final panel is a stark black close-up of a man’s intense eyes and nose, staring directly ahead.

Gon races across rocky, uneven ground lined with large tree trunks, his body leaning forward with intense focus as motion lines streak behind him. In a wide landscape panel he continues sprinting, small figures visible in the distance. A sudden burst of speed lines erupts in a lower panel. The large central spread shows Gon and another spiky-haired fighter locked in a high-speed clash, their forms blurred by radiating speed lines and impact shading as they pass each other. In the final close-up panel Gon’s face fills the frame, eyes narrowed and mouth set in a grim line, sweat and motion lines emphasizing his fierce concentration.

Gon

Gon crouches low in darkness, his right fist glowing brightly with aura as he throws a powerful punch, motion lines and impact effects surrounding him. A massive explosion of black speed lines and debris erupts in the next panel. A small inset shows a clenched fist with the text “I CAN’T USE IT, BUT IT’S NOT A HANDICAP!” and “MY HAND IS OKAY!”. In a forest clearing Biscuit stands in the foreground watching as Gon runs ahead; a large speech bubble from off-panel reads “BISCUIT! RUN AWAY!”. Close-up panels show Gon’s surprised wide-eyed face and Biscuit’s worried expression as she replies “IT DOESN’T MATTER. JUST GO!” and “BUT…”.

A small figure leaps through the air amid radiating speed lines as a voice declares, "I WON'T LET YOU ESCAPE!" Below, a determined boy with spiky black hair shouts upward, "TAKE CARE, YOU TWO..." while two distant runners flee across a rugged, root-covered terrain. One runner pauses with a soft "OH..." as motion lines streak past. In the lower panel a massive, heavily shaded hand thrusts forward, fingers spread wide, while a spiky-haired fighter with a star-marked cheek leans in and states, "YOUR OPPONENT IS ME!" The page ends with the Japanese caption "17三つ巴の攻防(完)".
