VS. The Hagya Squad

00
A figure with long hair and a wide hat holds up a large black card marked with a white 4. "Each number corresponds to a different weapon!!" the figure declares. "Inside my mouth is a roulette!! The numbers go from one to nine." Smoke curls around the figure as it speaks. Gon stares in surprise. "It speaks by itself? What a strange ability." The long-haired figure waves a hand. "Enough, disappear." "My name is Crazy Clown. Pleased to mee..." The smoke vanishes with a "BON" and the figure reappears a short distance away. Gon asks, "Does the roulette mean that you don't get to choose your own weapon?" Crazy Clown answers, "That's right." In a close-up the figure continues, "Even if the weapon that appears is useless, I have no way to exchange it, and it will not disappear." Gon, Killua, and Biscuit react with shock. "Why would anyone have such an ability...?" someone murmurs. Crazy Clown replies, "It's quite a pain to use."

Gon crouches low in a ready stance, hands clasped, eyes focused forward with intense determination. Killua leans in from the upper left, one hand raised in a claw-like gesture, watching the scene intently. Crazy Clown stands with back partially turned, long hair flowing dramatically to the right. Bold text beside the character reads: "Skill, Experience & Dependability! Use these three to surpass all limits!" Large chapter lettering declares "NO. 194 VS. THE HAGYA SQUAD" alongside the Hunter × Hunter logo and Japanese credits.

Gon stands with a serious expression and declares, "But my natural skill is reinforcement. Right." A voice explains that Gon's power appears to be a combination of reinforcement and transformation, noting that both he and the listener seem to have greater control over their abilities compared to the speaker. Killua, hand near his face, replies, "But it's still pretty weak, and it drains me quickly," and the other confirms, "Precisely," adding that Killua's power is based on electricity via transformation. In profile, Kite in his hat commands, "HURRY UP," and continues, "If you aren't satisfied, then all the more reason to become stronger." The group moves forward through swirling wind lines as a caption states they are approaching the nest, accompanied by the note of a cold, lonely wind.

A small round creature in a fluffy outfit remarks that the humans are probably much tastier than the others, while another notes there are only three of them. A large-eyed character states the missing one is probably dead and that Yunjyu's signal has vanished. A lion-like chimera ant with a mane and striped face recalls that Yunjyu was crashing down at the factory and declares the remaining humans are valuable prey, giving them a reason to act. A proofreader's note mentions the deliberate use of slang. The lion-like figure walks with a skull necklace, the small fluffy creature follows, and a tall figure with wild hair says, "I'm gonna stuff myself tonight!" while another replies, "Let's go."

A detailed diagram explains the social structure of the Chimera Ants. At the top sits the Queen, who oversees four Royal Bodyguards. Each Royal Bodyguard commands a Division Leader, who in turn directs multiple Squad Captains. Below the Squad Captains are rows of combat grunts and worker grunts. A large speech bubble notes that the Chimera Ants have five levels with the Queen at the top. A second diagram shows the structure after the Queen gives birth to the King: the King now stands at the top with his own Royal Bodyguards, while the Queen remains connected to the same division and squad hierarchy beneath her.
05
In a ruined cityscape, three characters discuss the Chimera Ants. A boy with spiky hair reacts with surprise to the rapid population growth. An unseen speaker explains that the King will travel and mate with other species to create new queens. Another voice states that the Queen never leaves the city and will give birth to the King after a certain time. The boy raises a finger and declares that defeating the Queen before she gives birth is the first priority. A girl wearing a checkered hat and glasses appears in a small panel saying hello. The boy clutches his head in distress, noting how tough the road ahead will be. A ringing phone interrupts. The girl holds up three fingers and announces that the first group of inspectors will arrive in three days. The boy replies that he will be waiting, and the girl confirms she understands.

In a misty, root-filled cavern, a cloaked figure stands facing two horned, beast-like creatures. Nearby, a furry, bear-like character with a striped scarf asks, "WHAT IS IT?" while a boy with a square patch on his head glances sideways. A cold, lonely wind howls through a dark silhouette of jagged rocks. Narration notes that Ramotto seems to be acting strangely after receiving a strange message from one of his grunts. A powerful aura labeled "ZU" erupts through the scene. In a wider view of the cavern, a tall, long-haired muscular figure stands with arms at his sides as a small fluffy creature looks on; the boy stares and says "I?". A close-up reveals the muscular figure's grinning mouth as he taunts, "WHAT DO YOU THINK? TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ME." followed by mocking laughter "HE HE HE HE".

The long-haired muscular figure stands triumphantly in the cavern, laughing loudly "HA HA HA HA HA" while declaring, "I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN REBORN!". The boy and furry character react in the foreground. The boy states they can do anything that the humans can, and the furry character notes the fierce life-energy and asks if the boy sees the glow. Footsteps are heard as narration explains that the change here was triggered by those guys attacking him. The muscular figure's wild hair and powerful stance dominate the large panel, with motion lines emphasizing his transformed presence.

The spiky-haired boy stares in shock from behind, exclaiming "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?" as a small figure stands in the distance and footsteps echo. The muscular winged figure turns and commands, "RAMOTTO, ATTACK ME WITH YOUR NEW BODY." In the next panels the black-haired man speaks calmly in profile: "IT WOULDN'T BE FUN OTHERWISE." "THAT'S ALRIGHT." "DON'T YOU THINK I'M A LITTLE TOO STRONG?" "ARE YOU SURE?" "I WON'T HOLD BACK." The small furry creature with a hat glares angrily, a single ellipsis floating beside it. A narrow panel shows a sharp claw mark on the ground. The bottom of the page erupts into a massive splash of radiating speed lines and impact shapes as the strike begins.

The muscular winged figure swings with tremendous force, its arm and hair whipping through the air in heavy motion lines. The small furry creature is hurled violently across the panel, body twisting and debris flying from the impact. The page ends on a wide, quiet shot of open sky above silhouetted bushes, with a flock of birds flying calmly in the distance.

Two massive eyes with narrow vertical pupils glare forward, their intense stare filling the panel. Below them, two pale silhouettes stand out against a pitch-black void: one squat and bat-eared, the other a sharp-profiled beast with an open mouth. Further down, a line of dark figures races across open ground; some sprint upright while others lope on all fours, a small crouched shape visible in the middle distance and a spiky-haired silhouette crouched at the foreground. At the bottom, a huge mouth gapes wide, rows of jagged teeth glistening with saliva as a thick tongue lolls forward.

In the forest, a dark silhouette leaps between trees while Hagya, the massive lion-like chimera ant, rears up and roars his message. His voice booms across the treetops: "THIS IS HAGYA; TO ALL TROOPS!" A second line of text follows: "HIGH QUALITY FOOD HAS BEEN DISCOVERED HIDING WITHIN THE FACTORY QUITE CLOSE TO YOU." On a distant cliff edge, several small figures stand or crouch along the rim. From behind a pale creature overlooking the forest canopy, the order is given: "CAPTURE THEM." Another voice adds, "DEAD OR ALIVE." A final bubble declares, "THERE THEY ARE."

A wolf-like Chimera Ant speaks with a stern expression, declaring that the delay will work in their favor. 'THAT'S JUST FINE. THEY'LL BE BUYING TIME FOR US UNTIL WE ARRIVE.' Nearby, two smaller Chimera Ants react with surprise. In the forest, a tall furry Chimera Ant, a round one riding in a woven basket, and a small child-like figure discuss the situation below. 'THE SQUAD CAPTAINS ARE DOWN THERE, SO IT WILL BE A TOUGH BATTLE. DO YOU THINK THE HUMANS CAN KILL THEM?' 'YES, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY'LL COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHER.' Farther ahead, Kite stands alone in profile, long hair flowing beneath a wide hat, gazing intently at a massive, vine-covered structure hanging from the trees like a colossal nest or trap, with scattered debris and motion lines suggesting recent disturbance.

Gon and Killua stand back-to-back with Kite in the dense forest, expressions tense as they realize the danger. 'WE'RE SURROUNDED. AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM.' The forest clearing reveals multiple distant figures among the trees, confirming they are encircled. A massive frog-like Chimera Ant in a black outfit with bone-like buttons looms in the foreground, calmly proposing a structured duel. 'LET'S DECIDE ON THE TURNS AND RULES FOR FIGHTING, SHALL WE.' From off-panel, a voice responds, 'WELL THEN.' The large ant stands ready, while a lone silhouette watches from the trees.

On the right side of the page, a large illustration shows a plump frog-like creature standing upright, wearing a black outfit with a high collar, three horizontal frog-shaped buttons, and a light scarf around its neck. The creature has large round eyes, a wide mouth, spotted skin, and webbed feet.
