p.0The game Greed Island was created by Gin and ten other people.
p.8Gon suggests publicly declaring a best-friend relationship.
p.16Chapter 185 is titled CHANCE MEETING.

In a rocky, ruined area, a spiky-haired boy named Gon listens as a disheveled man sitting on the ground explains the origins of the game. "GIN AND 10 OTHER PEOPLE MADE THIS GAME," the man states. A young man with curly hair stands nearby, gesturing casually. "WELL, I THINK YOU KNOW BY NOW, BUT I'M YOUR DAD'S PAL," he says. He then points to himself and adds, "I'M LIST, HE'S DWUN." Gon looks up at them with a curious expression. The scene shifts to a close-up of Gon as the explanation continues. "YOUR DAD WAS PART OF THE GROUP, AND HENCE THE LETTER 'G' IN 'GREED'," List explains. "'GREED ISLAND' COMES FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF EVERYONE'S FIRST NAME." Gon asks, "BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU MET REIZA?" In the bottom panels, a hand makes a peace sign while the dialogue reveals more connections: "ELENA AND EETA BOTH START WITH 'E'." "THE GIRL WHO EXPLAINED THE RULES AT THE ENTRANCE AND THE GIRL WHO WAS AT THE EXIT ARE TWINS." "AND I'M L." "YEAH." "HE'S R..."

Three Greed Island cards are displayed: No.81 Blue Planet, No.84 The Crusader's Necklace, and No.2 One Yard of Coastline. In a room with patterned walls, Biscuit's adult form holds the cards and states, "THE THREE CARDS YOU HAVE CHOSEN ARE: NO.2 'ONE YARD OF COASTLINE', NO.81 'BLUE PLANET' AND NO.84 'THE CRUSADER'S NECKLACE'." Biscuit's child form cheers "YES!" A voice asks, "ARE YOU SURE THESE ARE THE THREE YOU WANT?" and receives the reply "YES!" Two mechanical clicks sound as hands operate unseen devices. Gon, smiling, says "HOHO, YOU REMEMBERED MY NAME? I'M FLATTERED." He continues, "THANK YOU ... UMM ... EETO-SAN* RIGHT?" Biscuit replies "TAKE CARE." and "GOOD WORK." while handing back a ring, adding "WELL, HERE'S YOUR RING BACK." A zipper sound closes the exchange. A proofreader's note clarifies that Gon says Eeto, not Eeta.

Gon runs forward with a wide grin, shouting "WELCOME BACK!" while a large "SHUUUU" motion line trails behind him. In the background, Biscuit's child form and Killua stand waiting. Biscuit exclaims "OH, IT'S OUT!" as a book appears with a "BOOK!" effect. Gon tells her, "FORGET ABOUT IT, THAT ISLAND WAS A PART OF REALITY ANYWAY." Biscuit wonders, "DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT ..." and questions, "HMM, AM I BACK IN REALITY?" Killua urges, "HURRY UP! HURRY UP! TAKE OUT THE CARD BINDER." A dramatic close-up shows Gon holding the Blue Planet card, declaring, "THE BLUE PLANET GEM THAT I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF! WOW ...! THIS, THIS IS IT ...!"

Gon KilluaBiscuit (child form)

Gon stands with a small plant nearby and answers "Yes..." Biscuit, hands on hips, confronts him: "Hey! Are you two okay with this? You only want those two cards?" Gon replies calmly, "Even though I've considered every single card." In the next panel Biscuit bursts into laughter, "WUAHAHA," declaring "What should I call it? Star-chan? Blue-chan? Doesn't blue-chan sound good? Yep, that's its name!" and "OHOHOHO. I'M IN HEAVEN!" Killua watches with a flat "Ha..." A black bar of dialogue follows: "You believed that you could fill the pouch with other cards. The other day you were thinking about using the magic pouch, weren't you proven wrong? Geez, I knew you hadn't learned your lesson. Forget it! Lucky Alexander and Risky Dice would have been a pretty good combination." Gon pumps a fist, "YEA!" Killua asks, "Well, shall we go then?" Biscuit notes, "He had made the choice of the game from the beginning. Finally Gon decided to stick with his original decision." In the final panel Gon holds up two cards and declares "GAIN!" as a chained spiked sphere looms in the background.

Gon KilluaBiscuit (child form)

A hand holds the "ONE YARD OF COAST LINE" card labeled SS-3 above an open briefcase containing multiple card slots. Gon examines the card closely. In a dark panel Killua's eyes gleam as he points forward with a bright effect. A large "BON!!" SFX erupts between Gon and Killua. The massive "ACCOMPANY" card numbered 1039 R-130 appears with an illustration of a fish-like creature and small fish; its text explains it will teleport the user and those within 20 m to a designated city or player already encountered. Three instruction boxes detail the process: use "Crusader's Necklace" to nullify "Transform" and turn the card into "Accompany," take "Accompany" out of the game as part of the reward, then use "Transform Accompany" into an imposed slot card. Gon and Killua cheer "OK!" and "YAY! SUCCESS!" with arms raised triumphantly.

Gon KilluaBiscuit (child form)

Gon smiles while holding up a card and recalls that if the first person out of their group to enter the game had not been removed, he might never have found the courage to try. Biscuit agrees it is truly unexpected that someone could remove a card that does not fit an imposed slot. They remember using janken at the very beginning to decide the entry order. Biscuit notes that the second person to enter was Golimu, who had a huge forehead. Gon explains that at the entrance he was the first to enter the game and, looking around in wonder, was sure no one else was there. He later discovered he had actually encountered someone before Golimu. In a dramatic panel Gon stands with fists clenched as a bright impact labeled BOOM! erupts around him while motion lines and reaching hands fill the background. A black panel at the bottom displays two circles labeled NIGG and GOLIMU.

Gon Biscuit

A silhouette of Gin stands on a beach as he recalls having already been to Greed Island with Gin. Biscuit wonders about the name Nigg possibly being just the first letter of his name moved to the end, while Gon suggests Gin’s name can be spelled GING. They examine a list of cards including GING and FREECSS. Biscuit tells Gon that if he wants to see all the other valuable cards in front of him without being tempted, he must become strong enough to complete her game. She wonders if this was Gin’s message. Later Gon excitedly tells Killua that after seeing Gin the first thing he wants to do is introduce Killua to him.

Gin Biscuit Gon Killua

Gon leans forward with a bright, determined expression and declares, "AND SAY, 'THIS IS MY BEST FRIEND'!" Killua immediately recoils in the next panel, cheeks flushed, shouting "HOW EMBARRASSING. DON'T!" Biscuit's pigtails are visible as she murmurs "THAT'S BEAUTIFUL... REALLY..." Gon and Killua stand side by side with small, awkward faces. In the final panel Biscuit's face fills the frame, eyes swirling with tears, mouth trembling as large droplets roll down her cheeks while the onomatopoeia "どよー" echoes beside her.

Gon KilluaBiscuit (child form)

Biscuit, now in silhouette against a dark background, wonders aloud whether she has other things to do and questions if she really wants to meet Gin. She admits that the older she gets the softer she becomes and that her original goal of breaking up Gon and Killua’s friendship no longer appeals. Biscuit walks away down a corridor while telling the boys to take care of themselves; Gon and Killua thank her loudly. In the final panel a glowing card labeled with a rose emblem appears beneath bold lettering that reads "NIGG!" and "USE 'ACCOMPANY'!"

Biscuit (child form)Gon Killua

Biscuit stands in the distance, her adult form clad in a frilled dress, as a massive impact erupts behind her with sharp motion lines and debris flying. She turns slightly, raises one hand in a wave, and smiles. A speech bubble appears beside her: 'GOOD BYE.' Large stylized sound effects stretch across the panel. Below, Gon and Killua crouch on the sandy ground amid scattered leaves, looking up toward the departing figure. In the final panel, both boys stand side by side, Gon with his spiky hair and necklace, Killua with his wild hair and dark collar, both staring forward with wide eyes and open mouths as if processing what just happened.

Biscuit (adult form)Gon Killua

Gon and Killua stand with their backs to the viewer, looking across a grassy clearing toward a large tree. A cloaked figure sits on a thick root beside the tree, holding a fishing rod that extends into the water. Leaves drift through the air. In the close-up panels, Gon’s eye widens sharply as he recognizes the person. A speech bubble reads 'IS THAT GON-CHAN…?' followed by another saying 'GIN?' and a trailing ellipsis. Killua’s face shows equal surprise with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth.

Gon Killua Gin

A tall woman with long hair and a cap stands with one hand raised to her hat, staring down in surprise. She asks, "BUT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" A second bubble adds, "OH... YOU'VE GROWN UP." Large crossed-out "NO" sound effects slash across the lower half of the panel. Below, Gon looks up with wide eyes and an open mouth, exclaiming "KAITO?" Killua appears beside him with question-mark bubbles floating overhead, both boys visibly shocked at the unexpected figure before them.

Large fish silhouettes swim through smoky water with repeated "NO NO NO..." sound effects. In the next row, Gon and Killua stand together as Gon says, "AND WE THOUGHT WE'D DEFINITELY SEE HIM THIS TIME." Killua replies, "WAAA... HOW MEAN... HE TRICKED ME..." A cloaked figure on a rock tells the boys, "I FORGOT WHAT HE HAD CALLED HIMSELF. HE TOLD ME TO ALSO USE A FAKE NAME." Another bubble states, "AH, NOW I REMEMBER. GIN WAS USING A FAKE NAME WHEN I SAW HIM IN THE GAME." The woman asks, "TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURES." Killua responds, "DO YOU HAVE THE TIME?" Gon answers, "OF COURSE!" Close-up panels show the woman's intense eyes, Killua smiling broadly, and Gon flashing a peace sign with a grin.

A voice considers the options carefully. "CAN YOU DO THIS? IF GON USES 'MAGNETIC FORCE', THEN TAKE HIM TO ME. BUT IF HE USES 'ACCOMPANY', THEN TAKE HIM TO KAITO." The helmeted girl stares upward with wide eyes. "IS THIS REALLY OKAY? GIN?" Nearby, a spiky-haired boy questions the plan. "BUT, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" The reply comes firmly: "OF COURSE IT CAN BE DONE." A close-up shows a young man with closed eyes and a headband, his expression serious. "BUT IF HE DOESN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO COME ALONE, I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM. IF HE COMES ALONE USING 'MAGNETIC FORCE', THEN I DON'T MIND MEETING HIM." The small child-like girl with pigtails erupts in frustration. "YOU'RE TOO NOSY! JUST DO IT!" The headband boy retorts, "IS IT BECAUSE YOU'RE SHY IN FRONT OF A CROWD?" The girl snaps back, "NEVER-MIND! JUST DO IT!" while the boy wonders, "WHAT'S SO COWARDLY ABOUT BRINGING A FRIEND?" In the background, a distant tower is visible as someone mutters, "WHAT A PARANOID GUY. I FEEL SORRY FOR GON-KUN..." The spiky-haired boy looks confused. "GEEZ... HE SURE GETS EMBARRASSED IN ODD SITUATIONS."

Under a starry night sky with dark silhouettes of rocks, two voices converse. "NOW I'M QUALIFIED TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL HUNTER ALL BY MYSELF." "YEA, NOT TOO LONG AGO." A surprised voice asks, "EH? THEN KAITO YOU'VE ALREADY FOUND GIN?" In a moonlit landscape, a spiky-haired boy stands with a cloaked figure. The boy says, "THAT'S NOT NECESSARY. I WANT TO FIND HIM BY MYSELF." The cloaked figure replies, "DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU WHERE HE IS?" A close-up shows the cloaked figure's face with a slight smile. "GOOD ANSWER." The scene shifts to a bright daytime beach where waves lap against the shore. A caption reads: "THE BODY OF A STRANGE CREATURE WAS WASHED UP ON THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF BARUSA ISLAND." A small "Zzz..." floats near a rock. Another caption states: "MEANWHILE ... ON THE CONTINENT OF YORUBIAN ..."
