In a dense jungle forest, panicked voices cry out as danger approaches from multiple directions. "HE'S COMING!! ...BUT FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!!" one shouts, while another adds "AND FROM THE GROUND!?" Suddenly the ground erupts. "The Leol Army strikes!!" A massive round, spiky creature bursts upward from the earth with tremendous force, sending debris flying. Above it hovers a bat-like creature with outstretched wings, positioned at the center of the chaos as the forest floor is torn apart.

The massive attack continues through the jungle. A huge black SFX "ドゴォ" dominates the panel as the spiky sphere slams forward with tremendous speed, trailing motion lines. On the left, a character with a ponytail watches from the trees. Below, a spiky-haired boy clings to a vertical tree trunk while falling or climbing down. Smaller panels show close-ups of shocked faces: one character with wide eyes and open mouth reacting in alarm, another with sweat drops and a tense expression. The sphere leaves destruction in its wake as it crashes through the environment.

In the dense forest, a massive spherical creature looms amid shattered trees as a bald man throws his head back and shouts in alarm. Nearby, a girl with pigtails stares upward with wide eyes while skeletal insect-like figures cling to branches and a large rounded form. Text reads: "WE HAVE NO CHANCE USING INDIVIDUAL MELEE ATTACKS." A circled question "WHERE IS HE?" appears near the girl. Another panel states "HE TWISTED HIS HEAD OFF AND DESTROYED HIS TWO ARMS IN AN INSTANT...!" In the lower section, the spherical creature rolls through splintered wood as a voice cries out "CAPTAIN, HE'S ABOVE!!" Motion lines and debris fill the chaotic scene.

Multiple gorilla-like and feline creatures clash violently among the treetops, entangled in branches and ropes. A spiky-haired fighter swings a weapon while being pulled in different directions by the beasts. Small cat-like creatures react with shock on a wooden platform below. Close-ups show claws, impact lines, and a creature’s face twisted in effort. The battle rages with motion lines, broken branches, and scattered weapons as the fighters tumble through the canopy.

In the dense forest, Gon clings desperately to a thick tree trunk as a massive black bar slams across the scene with a heavy ドスッ impact, his face twisted in shock and mouth wide open. Killua stands right beside him, eyes wide and hand raised near his face as motion lines streak past. SFX like ズン and slashes fill the upper panels. Below, the view widens to a chaotic chase through the woods: a muscular gorilla-like creature grips a long spear and charges forward with a fierce expression, while Gon and Killua sprint away amid flying debris and motion lines. Bat-like creatures dart through the air around them. In the lower section, the gorilla-like creature swings its weapon wildly as Gon and Killua tumble and dodge, with more bat creatures leaping in. Impact shapes and speed lines emphasize the frantic movement as the group crashes through the undergrowth.

Gon KilluaGorilla-like creature

The fight erupts violently as Gon and Killua are hurled upward by the gorilla-like creature's spear thrust, their bodies twisting in midair. A massive explosion erupts with the huge SFX ドカーン filling the panel. The gorilla-like creature's angry face appears in close-up with sweat drops. Killua is shown mid-motion with intense focus. Gon grips a wooden staff tightly, his face determined as he braces against the force. The gorilla-like creature takes a direct hit, marked by ゴホッ as it reels back with a pained expression. Another gorilla-like creature on the right grimaces with UGH SFX while holding a circular object. Speed lines and impact bursts dominate the composition as the battle reaches a peak.

Gon KilluaGorilla-like creature

In a chaotic forest clearing, Gon dashes forward amid a swarm of hairy ape-like creatures wielding crude weapons and brooms. One massive creature swings a club while another leaps overhead. A close-up shows a monkey-like creature gripping a flag that reads 'YOU.' as it points directly ahead. Gon, hair wild and eyes sharp, grips a long flexible weapon with a pointed tip. In the next moment, Gon charges with intense focus, the weapon extending outward. A small creature clings nearby as motion lines and impact effects fill the panel. Gon stares forward with a determined glare, surrounded by the frenzy of the ape-like attackers.

A bear-like creature with wide eyes and an open mouth appears in close-up beside a panel showing a large eye. Gon stands with arms raised, shouting as speed lines radiate outward. The words 'I'M GONNA DIE...' appear in a speech bubble near him. In the background, a monkey-like creature is flung through the air. The scene shifts to a massive overhead view where Gon and another figure tumble amid swirling debris and motion lines. Enormous black symbols dominate the foreground, partially obscuring the falling characters below.

In the dense forest, a spiky-haired boy stares ahead with a tense expression and says, "I couldn't finish off two of them." Massive impact marks scar the trees and ground as a large round object rests near a damaged tree trunk. Multiple smaller panels show the boy leaping between branches while striking repeatedly, accompanied by the narration "Even multiple attacks on the tree-tops are useless." A circular panel displays the urgent command "Retreat!! We will regroup!!" Below, the spiky-haired boy clings to a branch and looks upward as another figure tumbles through the air amid scattered fighters.

Gonunidentified fighter

A figure leaps through the air toward a massive round creature while declaring "I won't let you get away!!" In close-up, the spiky-haired boy glares and states "You must be the head." Another voice replies "I'll delete you first." The boy is shown clinging to the creature's surface as it moves through the forest canopy. The scene shifts to an open field where a violent explosion erupts amid tall grass and scattered plants, sending debris flying.

A wild-eyed fighter with a massive mechanical device strapped to his back fires a devastating shot, laughing maniacally as he taunts his opponent. "HOW'D THAT SHOT TASTE!?" he bellows amid the explosive "HYAHAHA" sound effect. On the opposite side of the panel spread, Knuckle crouches low on a wooden platform, bow in hand, eyes narrowed as he chuckles "KU KU KU KU KU." The impact of the shot sends debris flying. Below the action, a detailed informational box explains the bombardier beetle's toxic gas mechanism: the creature produces hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide, mixes them with catalysts to create a boiling-point reaction that releases oxygen and vaporizes the toxic chemicals, expelling them explosively at 100 degrees Celsius. At the very bottom of the page, large crackling sound effects "ゴオオオオオ" accompany a small silhouette engulfed in the blast.

Gon's face fills a panel, eye wide with shock as he yells "YOU FARTED ON ME.....!!!" In the adjacent panel the spiky-haired fighter, still wreathed in smoke, snarls "...YOU BAS-TARD." A black narration box states that the opponent countered with perfect timing, skilled presence, and a blind-spot attack. Gon, now shown in smaller panels, realizes the enemy may be using a special power to pinpoint his location and concludes someone must be giving orders from a remote spot. In the lower section Gon declares "SHOW HIM WHAT I CAN DO!!" while thinking "I MUST NOT..." as he charges forward amid swirling smoke and impact lines, the background filled with chaotic motion and debris.

Killua stands amid swirling dust and impact lines from a recent blast, his thoughts racing. "I have to beat them all with my bare hands..." he mutters internally. "The best scenario would be to run away and hide again but it seems impossible." In the next panel he grips his yo-yos tightly, eyes narrowed. "If possible, I don't want them to know about the yo-yo either!! My electric shock for sure." A small, dark creature suddenly rockets toward him from off-panel. It slams into his face with a heavy impact, knocking his head back. "No!! What is this? It's stuck!!" Killua yells in shock. "On my face...!! A gun...!?" Motion lines and debris fly outward as the creature clings tightly to his cheek, its body partially visible against his skin.

Killua

A close-up reveals the creature is a tiny flea-like insect held between Killua's fingers, its body covered in segmented armor and multiple legs. "CHIKIN" sound effects surround it as it struggles. Killua's face appears in profile, eyes wide with realization. "A FLEA!?" he exclaims. The flea begins to transform or expand within his grip, its form shifting and growing larger with motion lines indicating rapid change. Below, the same small creature lies on the ground after being thrown or dropped, surrounded by scattered debris and impact marks. Killua's hand remains visible in the foreground, still reacting to the unexpected nature of his opponent.

Killua

Gon bursts forward in a jagged panel, fists clenched and teeth bared, yelling “DAMMIT!” while demanding to know “WHERE IS IT SHOOTING FROM!?” Killua’s close-up shows wide eyes and sweat flying as he gasps “yu…!” In the next instant Gon is struck mid-leap, body twisting as he screams “AAAAH!” amid heavy motion lines. A narrow forest strip reveals a tiny distant figure standing among the trees. Grid overlays mark coordinates: “AREA TH 88 X-15 Y-19 Z-9 POINT X-9 Y-3 Z-1” with an arrow labeled “KAY.” The bottom splash shows a long-haired sniper perched on a rocky cliff, rifle braced on a massive rock formation shaped like a face. The sniper croons “FROM~~~ MY “FLEADOM”~~~♪” while a speech bubble warns “YOU CAN’T RUN AWAY” and laughter spills out “HUIN HUIN HUIN.” A small inset panel questions “What is this power being used on Killua!?” The Hunter × Hunter logo sits at the very bottom.
