Attack of Three Part 7

00
A massive hand descends from above with dramatic motion lines. Below, Gon lies on the wooden floor, staring upward with wide eyes and a determined expression. His body is tense, one fist clenched near his chest. Bold text declares the matchup: GON VS. BOMB DEVIL! THE "LIFE RISKING" FINAL BATTLE! Smaller panels show a close-up of a hand reaching forward, Gon's surprised face with sweat drops, and a partial view of the opponent's spiky-haired head.
01
The bespectacled fighter with spiky hair lunges forward, grabbing at Gon. Gon ducks and evades with agile movements. A close-up shows the opponent's intense glare. Gon rolls away on the floor. The opponent is thrown off balance and lands in a low stance. Gon crouches in the distance while the opponent recovers. In a wide panel, Gon charges ahead with fierce determination, motion lines streaking behind him. Narration notes that the opponent must still consider his subordinates. Another caption praises the excellent movements on display.
02
Gensuru leans forward with a sharp glare, his sunglasses reflecting tension as he demands, "WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT MY POWER?" In smaller panels he continues, "YOU KNOW THAT I'M THE BOMB DEVIL? YOU THERE... SO..." Gon stands in the background, replying, "OH... TSEZUGERA TOLD ME." A sudden close-up captures Gon's wide eyes with a sharp *GASP*. Gensuru processes the revelation, thinking, "THE GAP BETWEEN ME AND HIM... THIS IS... SO THERE STILL SURVIVORS... PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT MY POWER I MEAN." He further realizes, "HE SAW THROUGH ME IN AN INSTANT. HE KNOWS I'M HIDING SOMETHING. INCREDIBLE. THERE SHOULDN'T BE MANY OF THEM LEFT..."
03
Gensuru's face appears in profile as Gon suddenly shouts "BOOK!" and summons his book with a burst of energy and motion lines. Gon declares, "PEOPLE WHO SIMPLY TAKE CARDS AWAY FROM OTHERS. I DESPISE... I CAN'T LET HIM CONTROL THIS FIGHT!" A close-up shows Gon stating, "THE FIRST TO SAY 'I LOSE' WILL GIVE UP ALL HIS CARDS! SO, LET'S MAKE A DEAL." In the forest clearing Gensuru responds, "THAT'S THE ONLY CONDITION. I TOLD YOU. YOU'RE IN NO POSITION TO ORDER ME AROUND. I THINK YOU'RE MISTAKEN." Gon counters firmly, "YOU'LL HAVE TO KILL ME BEFORE I GIVE UP! IF YOU DON'T AGREE, THEN YOU'LL NEVER GET THE CARDS."
04
Gensuru leans forward with a smirk and declares, "YOU'VE GOT GUTS." Gon stares back fiercely and replies, "YOU'RE EVEN CRAZIER THAN ME." Gon continues, "THEN EVEN IF I DIE, I'LL NEVER TAKE OUT THE BOOK!" and "IF YOU DON'T PROMISE TO UPHOLD THE DEAL..." Gensuru slams his hand onto the open book and shouts, "I PROMISE!" as motion lines burst around the impact. "ALRIGHT THEN..." he adds. Gon holds up his book and states, "71 CARDS IN IMPOSED SLOTS. I HAVE 102 CARDS..." Gensuru counters while displaying his own book, "97 CARDS IN IMPOSED SLOTS. I HAVE 131 CARDS..." The scene shifts to a forest clearing where Gon stands among tall trees and says, "RIGHT." Gensuru's voice asks from off-panel, "YOU HAVE BOTH 'ONE YARD OF COASTLINE' AND 'LUCKY ALEXANDER'?"
05
Against a black background, Gensuru stands with his back partially turned and raises one hand while declaring, "GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!" His fingers are splayed wide in a reaching gesture. Below, Gon crouches low with a determined glare, his spiky hair and necklace visible as he looks upward toward the extended hand.
06
In a rocky forest clearing, a small figure stands amid debris in a shallow crater while Gensuru watches from a short distance. Gensuru remarks that his Nen is pretty good. The scene shifts to Gensuru in a powerful stance, aura flaring around him as he declares that even though it's still only developing, the power is impressive. Close-up panels show Gon clenching his teeth in frustration and shouting "DAMN!" while Killua watches with wide, startled eyes and Gensuru maintains a focused profile.
07
Gon lunges forward with a fierce cry of "HA!", fist cocked back and body angled for attack. Gensuru evades by leaning low, the motion lines showing Gon’s strike passing over him. Gensuru states that offense is the best defense. In a close-up, Gensuru’s head is shown with intense focus as he advises to put 90% of Nen into the attack and wrap the aura around the fist, noting that even against Little Flower the defense will hold.
08
Gon faces his opponent head-on with fierce determination, shouting 'SO, JUST TRY TO ATTACK ME!' as a massive burst of energy erupts between them. The opponent reels from the impact, his torn clothing flapping wildly. In a swift follow-up, Gon is hurled through the air with a loud *WHOOSH*, twisting mid-flight. The opponent recovers instantly, yelling 'HA!' while launching a powerful counterstrike. Close-up panels capture Gon's intense expression and the opponent's focused glare. At the bottom, Gon crashes down hard, his body twisting from the force as the opponent stands over him, ready for the next exchange.
09
The bespectacled fighter is sent flying backward from Gon's powerful kick, his body twisting violently through the air amid heavy motion lines. Small inset panels show Gon in a low stance and the opponent recovering. Narration boxes read: 'HE HAS O EXPERIENCE... BUT HE STILL DARES TO TALK BIG.', 'HE CAN'T MOVE HIS NEN FAST ENOUGH TO MATCH HIS ATTACKS.', 'BUT, HE'S STILL AN AMATEUR AT MOVING HIS NEN.', and 'HE'S WELL TRAINED.' Gon thinks to himself: 'I'M WAY BELOW HIM IN BOTH EXPERIENCE AND NEN. IF I KEEP ATTACKING I'LL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.' The opponent lands with audible *CRACK* *CRACK* sounds, bracing himself as Gon prepares another move.
10
Gon rises from the rubble with fierce resolve, his body battered but his spirit unbroken. Even so... he declares, I want to keep going! The spiky-haired fighter in the flowing robe is hurled backward by the impact, crashing through the rocky terrain. Gon charges forward relentlessly, closing the distance as the robed opponent tumbles through the air. In a powerful exchange, Gon is sent sliding across the ground but quickly recovers, planting his feet firmly. The robed fighter lands heavily, dust and debris flying around them. Gon's eyes blaze with unyielding determination as he clenches his fist tightly, ready to press the attack.
11
Tsezugera leaps high into the air, his cloak trailing as he prepares a powerful strike. I'll definitely knock you down! he yells. Gon ducks low, narrowly avoiding the descending attack that smashes into the ground with tremendous force. In the aftermath, Tsezugera stands amid the destruction and questions Gon. Still haven't heard your answer. Who told you about my ability? Gon remains partially obscured by debris, his silhouette visible against the chaos. Tsezugera then launches another assault, charging forward with outstretched arm as the rocky landscape blurs past him.
12
The glasses-wearing fighter stands with a calm, confident expression as he addresses his opponent. "I DON'T EVEN NEED TO USE IT," he states flatly. "THAT AGAINST SOMEONE LIKE YOU..." He continues, "I JUST WANT TO SAY... BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER NOW." A small object drops onto the floor with a soft *DROP* sound, and the man remarks, "JUST LIKE WE PLANNED!" In close-up, a clenched fist tightens as the fighter thinks, "...THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO HIM." A black panel explains the tactic: "WHEN THE OPPONENT IS SURE OF HIS STRENGTH... YOU CAN START TO LURE HIM INTO YOUR TRAP." The word "UNDER-STOOD!" flashes as the plan clicks into place. On the right, Gon stands with his back turned, body tense. Narration notes, "A DIFFERENCE IN ABILITY CAN BE ADVANTAGEOUS. WHEN YOU'RE BEATEN TO THE POINT OF DESPERATION, YOUR MOVEMENTS WILL BECOME NATURAL."

Gon erupts with fierce determination, shouting, "I HATE HAVING TO TAKE A BEATING LIKE THIS!" He raises his arms, fingers splayed, and declares, "I WANT TO TRY IT! I'LL KEEP FIGHTING AFTER I TRY." His body is covered in bruises and dirt, yet his eyes blaze with resolve. The glasses-wearing fighter counters from below, asking, "HAVEN'T YOU HAD ENOUGH PAIN YET?" as he blocks or counters an attack. Motion lines and impact effects fill the panel. Gon lunges forward with hands raised defensively while the fighter moves in close. A sharp "HMP!" sound effect punctuates the exchange as the two clash at close range.

Gon lies prone on the ground, body twisted from a powerful impact as debris and motion lines streak across the panel. An opponent lunges forward through the air, arm extended in a fierce strike that sends shockwaves and fragments flying outward. The scene conveys overwhelming force directed at the young fighter. In a close-up, Gon’s face is bloodied and battered, one eye wide with strain while X-shaped marks and motion lines emphasize the crushing blow he has taken. A second panel shows the same opponent raising both arms high, body braced as if preparing another devastating attack or bracing against recoil. Narration reads: AGAINST THE STRONGEST BOMB DEVIL. IS THERE ANY HOPE AT ALL?!
