Chapter 183 · The Trivia Game

00AI-written

A massive announcement erupts across Greed Island. "ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS!" reads the jagged speech bubble. Gon, Killua, and Biscuit stand together as a large book is opened before them. Gon looks surprised with a "?!" above his head while Biscuit holds the book and Killua crouches nearby. An unidentified man with crossed arms watches from the side. In the next panels, two players examine their own books while a voice explains the event. "TO COMMEMORATE THIS EVENT, IN TEN MINUTES THERE WILL BE A TRIVIA GAME OPEN TO ALL PLAYERS ON GREED ISLAND." Another panel shows a bald man in a striped shirt writing in a book as several players gather around a table covered in cards. "AS OF TODAY, THERE HAVE FINALLY APPEARED PLAYERS WHO HAVE COLLECTED 99 CARDS IN THEIR IMPOSED SLOTS." Biscuit, now wearing a headband with a star emblem, listens intently. "THE PLAYER WITH THE HIGHEST SCORE WILL WIN A PRIZE..." A second bubble continues, "THERE ARE 100 QUESTIONS IN TOTAL! ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE ON THE CARDS WITHIN THE IMPOSED SLOTS." The final panels deliver the closing instructions. "EVERYONE PLEASE OPEN YOUR BOOKS, AND WAIT JUST A SECOND." The prize is revealed in a jagged frame: "THE PRIZE IS CARD NO. 000, 'A RULER'S BLESSING'!"

Last time we translated card no 000 as "Bliss of the Victor"... unfortunately we were wrong. The correct translation is "A Ruler's Blessing". Hence here is the relevant corrected page from chapter 182. Please use it to replace the page in your previous chapter. #Manga-Section

The Hunter × Hunter logo dominates the top of the page beside large stylized SFX reading ウウウウ.... In a vast open plain, a tall man with slicked-back hair holds open a large binder while facing a distant group of figures gathered in the middle ground. Two men stand with their backs to the viewer: one in a long dark coat and the other wearing a cap and backpack. Below, a row of close-up panels shows several unknown men with stern or surprised expressions, followed by Gon, Killua, and Biscuit looking forward with serious faces.

Close-up panels show Gon and Killua exchanging glances. A man with light hair and a man in a cap raise their hands while speaking. One says they are here to help and not to fight. They offer to answer questions in exchange for selling the card for a 2.5 billion Jenny thank-you fee. The cap-wearing man adds that it is only a meager 5% of the reward for beating the game. Genthru notes that the others do not know about Battera yet. Genthru then asks if the group plans to do the same thing. Biscuit replies that it is fine if they get first place. In the final wide panel, a man in a cap and backpack bends over while a voice offers to take a peek at the cards in the binder, prompting a small “?” above the bent man’s head.

The game is about to end. Everyone's target is the last card. Fine! Agreed! The person who gets the lower score will have to be punished! What should we do? They're going to band together and pool their knowledge. What? Each of us answers separately! Hmm... THE QUESTIONING WILL NOW BEGIN! Incredible, and just after a life and death battle... now they're on the verge of beating the game, and they're still so calm. These two have enjoyed themselves more than anyone else in the game... you must persevere!

Damn! Stuck on the first question. I'll just guess... D: HIYU E: HIMA. FIRST QUESTION! ABOUT CARD NO.001 'ONE YARD OF FOREST'. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE OLD MAN WITH VITAL INFORMATION? A: HIRA B: HIDA C: HISO. WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS ONE MUST FULFILL TO OBTAIN CARD NO.017, 'ARCHANGEL'S BREATH'? CARD NO. 005. WHAT COLOR ARE THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM AROUND THE 'ALCOHOLIC SPRINGS'?

A figure wearing a large striped hat leans forward and announces, "I CAUGHT THE BOMB DEVIL." Close by, a spiky-haired young man stares upward with wide, startled eyes as a small SFX "ザッ" appears beside him. Smoke drifts across the scene with the sound "SHUUUUU...". The view changes to a quiz panel displaying the question: "WHAT IS THE THEME OF THE MONTHLY COMPETITION WHERE YOU GET CARD NO.084 'THE CRUSADER'S NECKLACE'?" A small character with spiky hair sits on the ground looking up at a tall striped building marked with a sign, reacting with visible tension and a small SFX "ズ...".

A quiz question appears: "WHAT IS THE NAME OF CARD NO.000?" followed by the announcement "AND NOW FOR THE FINAL QUESTION!" Options for card No.000 are shown as D: A RULER'S BANQUET, E: A RULER'S BLESSING. A boy with short black hair looks concerned while a small character with pigtails reacts with shock, exclaiming "WHAT A STUPID QUESTION!" and "WHAT!?". The quizmaster declares, "NOW, I'LL ANNOUNCE THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO GOT THE HIGHEST SCORE!" and concludes with "IT'S OVER!".

A stern man with a facial scar gazes rightward past a small boat-like object. Beside him, a player clutches an open book while another stares upward in surprise. Bold starburst panels announce the results: "87 POINTS OUT OF A TOTAL OF 100!!" and "THE HIGHEST SCORE WAS". Killua and Gon stand side by side with wide eyes and a sweat drop, reacting to the revelation. In a dramatic close-up, Biscuit leans forward with a confident smile and declares, "THE NAME OF THE PLAYER WHO ACHIEVED THIS IS..."

Gon stands alone in a radiant spotlight, a card tucked behind his ear, as a massive speech bubble proclaims "CONTESTANT GON!". Below, Killua and Gon leap with joy, arms raised, shouting in unison "AWESOME!! 100 IMPOSED SLOT CARDS COMPLETE!!!" Radiating speed lines and explosive effects fill the frame with triumph.

Gon and Killua stand together after their loss. Gon asks how many points he earned while Killua remarks that they can now uncover the secrets behind Greed Island. A large speech balloon thanks them, and another voice notes that even though they are not happy about losing, congratulations are in order. A small exclamation mark appears as a spiky-haired figure reacts with surprise. Suddenly a large bird with outstretched wings swoops down from above, clutching a letter labeled Greed Island in its talons while smaller birds scatter around it.

Gon suggests waiting near the entrance since only one person can go. Killua suddenly remembers something and turns to Biscuit. Biscuit laughs and wonders what they should do now that those who beat the game get to take home three cards. The three stare forward in shock as Killua asks who is coming now. A massive impact shakes the ground with heavy sound effects, and the trio stands together facing a blinding light and flying debris.

Two men stand in an open grassy area, each holding an open BOOK. The taller one with curly hair exclaims in surprise, 'OH! THOSE BRATS REALLY DID GET ALL THE CARDS.' His shorter, wild-haired companion chuckles, 'HEHEHE...' In the next panel the group confronts them: Gon, Killua, Biscuit, and a tall man in a high-collared uniform face the two strangers. One of the book-holders points and shouts, 'HEY YOU! YOUR WORK IS DONE! GET OUT OF HERE!' The tall uniformed man replies calmly, 'OF COURSE.' A close-up shows the curly-haired man smirking, 'UNFORTUNATELY, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO REFUSE. HEHEHE...' The wild-haired man grins widely and declares, 'WELL... LET'S HAVE A MATCH. WINNER TAKE ALL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S 2 VS. 4.'

The wild-haired man is hurled backward through the air with limbs flailing while the curly-haired man is also sent flying. Gon stands holding a card and says, 'WE HAVEN'T BEEN TO THIS CITY REIMARO YET.' Killua replies, 'HEY! "ACCOMPANY" IS NO GOOD.' Biscuit suggests, 'THEN WHY DON'T WE USE "DRIFT"? WE PROBABLY HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO EVERY OTHER CITY... HOPEFULLY...' The curly-haired man, upside-down, yells, 'HEY! "ACCOMPANY" IS NO GOOD.' Gon decides, 'RIGHT THEN, WE'LL BE TAKING A COPY OF "ACCOMPANY".' In a smaller panel someone shouts 'USE "DRIFT"!' Biscuit explains they can travel together with the card. The curly-haired man states he will go to Reimaro first with Drift and return for his partner. A large SFX panel shows the activation effect. Killua watches with wide eyes and says 'OOOHH...' while Gon remains silent.

From a distance, the sprawling city of Reimaro rises on a steep hillside, its towers and clustered buildings visible against the sky. In the foreground, Gon crouches on the path and points excitedly toward the city, shouting "BINGO!". The scene shifts to a close view of the group: a white-haired figure declares "REIMARO CITY!!", the small girl beside him raises a card, and Killua on the right urges "USE "ACCOMPANY"!". Below, two distant silhouettes stand near a large impact sound effect "ドギャッ!!" with motion lines and arrows indicating sudden movement or an explosion off-panel.

A close-up shows a bandaged face with intense eyes, internally noting that even though the opponents are much stronger than before, the difference compared to the boss is still huge. Nearby silhouettes discuss how the group defeated the Zelamu brothers so easily and conclude the ones behind them are the Bomb Devils. A card with a diamond symbol is shown with the note that some powerful tactics were probably used. Hisoka appears in silhouette, telling the others they can have the reward for completing the game. He states he will use "Magnetic Force" and that it doesn't matter, then walks away from a female silhouette, declaring he will be going back first to prepare for the Nen removal.

Gon peers cautiously from the ornate doorway of a grand building, his eyes wide with surprise. Large, jagged sound effects rumble across the top of the panel. Below, a tall figure with light curly hair, wearing a white shirt, black tie, suspenders, and long black skirt stands confidently in the center of the frame. The figure extends one hand outward in a welcoming gesture and speaks: "TO THE CAPITAL OF GREED ISLAND." A second speech bubble adds, "WELCOME," as the figure smiles slightly.

The cover of Weekly Shonen Jump No. 26 promotes Hunter x Hunter with a large central illustration of Gon in a white tank top and shorts charging forward with a determined expression and clenched fist. Behind him, Killua in a white shirt and jeans points ahead with an intense gaze. Biscuit stands above them with blonde hair in a high ponytail, wearing a pink jacket over a school uniform. Large glowing green eyes dominate the red background. Smaller insets show a spiky-haired character labeled Bleach, a soccer scene with a black-haired player, and a blue-haired girl in a school uniform at the bottom right. Bold Japanese text advertises the Catchphrase Grand Prix 2003, Golden Shoot, and other Jump features including a 35th anniversary logo and price of 230 yen.
