Hunter × Hunter Chapter 287: Situation

00AI-written

In a devastated rocky landscape, a tall figure with a long tail stands with his back to the viewer, facing two distant figures. One sits hunched on the ground while the other kneels nearby. The standing figure turns slightly as a speech bubble appears near him reading "SHUT UP ...?". Large title text declares "HUNTER × HUNTER" and "287: SITUATION". Below, three panels show close-ups: Pitou with curly hair and wide eyes, Gon staring forward with intense focus, and the tailed figure's profile. The final panel shows the barren ground with the narration "HM... DOWNWIND".

Killua stands facing Pitou, one hand raised as he speaks. He says "PITOU." then "HEH... I SEE I AM INTRUDING. I'LL LEAVE THE SITUATION HERE TO YOU." Pitou replies "DON'T." Killua continues with "STAY RIGHT THERE." Gon, still in the background, shouts intensely "DON'T YOU TAKE A SINGLE STEP FROM THAT SPOT......!!!" and questions "YOU USE YOUR POWDER SCALES TO CONTROL PEOPLE, RIGHT?" Pitou stands silently in a lower panel while Killua turns his head.

A young man with light hair stares intently, asking if someone has lost their mind. Pouf's fragmented body scatters across the ground as a voice pleads for him to stay. The young man gestures sharply, questioning why anyone would remain for the sake of a pathetic little girl. Pouf's scattered pieces cry out desperately. In a close-up, Pouf's main body with wild curly hair and wide eyes begs the boy to do as he says, insisting it is all for the King. The young man, now in silhouette against a dark background, demands to know what has happened while he was away, noting how different Pouf's face looks. He stands firm, promising not to move from the spot in exchange for an explanation.

Killua's face fills the panel with a calm yet piercing stare. He suggests that casually asking about the King's whereabouts would raise suspicion and prevent the boy from revealing the information. In a dramatic full-body shot, Killua stands with his coat flaring, demanding every last detail about what has happened. Pouf's main body watches nervously from below. Killua warns that if the request fails, blood will be spilled here, his expression turning cold and serious as he delivers the threat.

Against a dark night sky filled with clouds and distant buildings, two bold declarations appear: "NOW ADDING INTEREST!" and "IT'S TIME!". Below, a powerful muscular humanoid figure with a dark, textured body and horn-like protrusions stands in a wide aggressive stance, energy crackling around its limbs. A small round white creature with wings, a headband marked 50091, and a cheerful expression floats nearby. The scene erupts into a massive explosion at the bottom, with debris flying and large stylized sound effects filling the panel as the impact radiates outward.

Close-up panels capture intense moments. A small cloud-like figure shouts "I KNOW THE FEELING!!!" and "I CAN CONTROL THE EXPLOSION!!!" while a stern profile of the muscular humanoid declares "......I'VE GOT IT!!!". The humanoid's back is shown with clawed hands gripping its shoulders as it states "I CAN MAKE THE ABILITY COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY MY OWN!!" and "IF I DO IT ONE MORE TIME ............!!!". In the lower section, the creature screams "NNN NGY AAA MHHHH HHHH!!" while the humanoid roars "NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE YOU MAKE A FOOL OF ME....!! YOU TRASH!! YOU SCRAP!! YOU PIECE OF SHIT~~~~!!" and "THE RAGE....!! I HAVE TO BUILD UP THE RAGE!! BEFORE I FORGET!!!" amid radiating energy lines and impact effects.

A massive, jagged rocky form towers across the page, its surface cracked and shifting with intense internal pressure. Large onomatopoeia crackle around the silhouette as the creature remains unaware. Narration boxes explain that Youpi had yet to notice the conflicting forces inside him. Smaller panels show abstract shapes of construction and destruction merging together as one, followed by the raging anger being brought out calmly. The narration continues that these conflicting emotions truly signified something, and then the creature declares it will use its own body to manifest them. A final sharp impact line punctuates the moment of realization.

Youpi

Youpi's transformed body is now fully revealed as a powerful, muscular bull-like creature with thick horns, bulging veins, and a grotesque, uneven head. He stands on a wooden surface, body twisted in extreme tension. Sweat and stress marks cover his skin while his limbs shake violently. A large bold caption declares that this is rage. A narration box above notes that the creature has finally recognized his own current situation.

Youpi

In the midst of a raging battlefield, a voice cuts through the chaos: "...ISN'T SOMETHING YOU SCATTER AROUND AIMLESSLY!" The word "RAGE..." hangs in the air as small figures scatter below. Youpi, transformed into a massive, monstrous form with a bulbous head and powerful limbs, towers over the scene, his body crackling with energy. A close-up shows a dark, cavernous mouth-like structure with the text "YOU DIRECT IT AT A SINGLE TARGET!!!" Youpi unleashes a furious assault, his aura exploding outward. Text boxes explain: "AND WHILST TO MORAU AND KNUCKLE, YOUPI'S AURA MUST HAVE SEEMED UTTERLY INEXHAUSTIBLE..." Youpi roars with manic laughter "HYA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" as another box notes "...IT WAS IN FACT BEING CONTINUALLY CONSUMED WITH EACH EXPLOSION AND TRANSFORMATION." Youpi declares "I'M GONNA DESTROY YOU ALL!!!!" while his massive form dominates the panel, surrounded by impact lines and debris.

The fight intensifies as Youpi, now in a centaur-like form with a powerful equine body, charges forward. A small panel shows a white-haired fighter, likely Knuckle, recoiling with motion lines and impact SFX. Another panel depicts the battlefield from above with many small figures and the note "HIS REMAINING AURA WAS UNDER 500,000." A text box warns "AND IF POTCLEAN'S INTEREST CONTINUED INCREASING AT ITS CURRENT RATE..." Youpi lunges at the white-haired fighter, who is sent flying with dramatic impact lines. The fighter shouts "ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, IT'S FAKE, ALL RIGHT!!" while Youpi continues his assault, accompanied by the SFX "HYA HA HAH!" and additional impact effects.

A massive, grotesque face fills the upper half of the page, eyes bulging and mouth wide in fury as it roars with explosive force. "GIVE ME MORE RAAAA AAAAAA AAGE !!!" and "MORE... MORE !!!" burst from jagged speech balloons amid heavy motion lines and impact shapes. Below, the scene shifts to a frantic battle. A fighter in a torn white shirt is hurled through the air while another figure struggles nearby. Text boxes detail the dire countdown: "...HE HAD ONLY ELEVEN MINUTES AND 43 SECONDS FROM THE MOMENT THE INVASION BEGAN UNTIL HE BROKE THE LIMIT........" and "...EVEN IF YOUPI WERE TO KEEP HIS AURA USAGE TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM..." A small creature with a digital display showing 5:51:00 declares "IT'S TIME!" as the monstrous Youpi looms on the right, its body covered in dark circular marks and smoke-like tendrils.

Youpi's massive, multi-limbed form dominates the page, its body twisting with grotesque mouths and tentacles while a fighter in dark pants grips a large bladed weapon and leaps through the air. A round creature labeled G0610 clings to the fighter, one arm raised as it shouts "NOW ADDING INTEREST!" Text boxes continue the countdown: "...UNTIL HIS NEN ABILITIES WERE SEALED OFF COMPLETELY." and "AS OF THIS MOMENT, HE HAD THREE MINUTES AND FIFTY SECONDS..." A large digital timer at the bottom reads 0:07:1:53:49 amid ornate circular patterns, ink splatters, and starburst effects. Youpi's head is thrown back in a roar, its many eyes and open maws conveying overwhelming pressure.

A vast, shattered wasteland stretches under a dark sky, its surface pockmarked with craters and jagged rock formations. In the foreground, a young fighter stands poised on a high outcrop, wearing a distinctive helmet-like hat, armored outfit, and carrying a large circular weapon on her back. She gazes upward with a focused expression. Farther back, an older bald man with a topknot floats in mid-air, one leg raised and hand near his face, observing the scene below. Scattered debris and smoke drift across the broken terrain, emphasizing the scale of destruction.

Dark storm clouds fill the sky. The helmeted girl stands with arms crossed, her expression serious as she looks ahead. Below, jagged energy-like shapes erupt violently across the panel. The girl now stands facing a dark, indistinct figure amid the chaotic blast, while a small silhouette is flung through the air. A voice utters '...HM.' In the final wide panel, the bald man with the topknot is shown mid-motion, recoiling from an impact on the ground as dust and debris fly outward, accompanied by sharp sound effects.

In a barren, rocky wasteland under a dark sky, an elderly man with a shaved head and a large '7' on his shirt stands barefoot and ready. Nearby, a tall figure in a striped helmet and armored suit with a thick striped tail stands with fists clenched. The elderly man speaks first, declaring the area a testing ground for military heavy weaponry and inviting the helmeted figure to feel free to go all-out. The helmeted figure turns its head slightly. In close-up, the elderly man questions why the opponent fights, while the helmeted figure asks why the elderly man fights. The elderly man reacts with visible surprise, sweat on his face, uttering '...What?'

The helmeted figure questions why the elderly man rushes to hasten his own death, claiming he has no chance of victory. The elderly man retorts that judging by appearance is a mistake and asks how the figure can know his strength before fighting. In extreme close-up, the helmeted figure's intense eyes glare forward as it warns that the elderly man cannot read the field of battle and calls him an amateur. The elderly man explains that he originally saw the figure's kind as little more than cattle but now sees them differently. The helmeted figure acknowledges this change, comparing it to a certain girl and stating that a few humans are now worth allowing to live.

A close-up shows a stern face beneath a wide hat or helmet as the character states, "I MAY WELL CHOOSE TO FORGIVE YOU." Separate panels display a pair of feet planted on the ground while one voice says, "IF YOU WERE TO LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS RIGHT NOW..." and another replies, "I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT YOU." An elderly man with a long beard and narrowed eyes reacts with visible tension, three dots floating beside him. A dramatic horizontal panel labeled "THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN!!" features an outstretched hand as the speaker clarifies, "...YOU MEAN ME, AND ONLY ME, CORRECT?" and adds, "AND BY THAT..." The bottom splash shows the same elderly man, now revealed with a spiky topknot and a torn shirt bearing the number 7, standing amid rocky terrain with both arms flung wide. He answers, "...TO LISTEN TO THAT KIND OF OFFER." and concludes, "I'M AFRAID I'M NOT IN A POSITION..."
