Gon sits on the ground with his back to the viewer, head bowed and shoulders slumped. Scattered across the page in overlapping, frantic lettering are his spiraling thoughts: 'KAITO IS DEAD. KAITO IS DEAD. KAITO IS DEAD. KAITO IS DEAD.' 'IT'S MY FAULT.' 'HE WON'T COME BACK?' 'I KILLED HIM.' 'SOMEBODY SAVE HIM.' 'BUT... BUT, BUT, BUT,' 'NO!! IT'S HIM!!' 'KAITO IS... KAITO IS... KAITO IS...' 'SOMEBODY, HELP.' 'HELP.' Nearby, Killua stands with his back partly turned, one arm extended, tail-like aura visible behind him. His own anguished thoughts appear around him: 'KAITO IS, KAITO IS...' 'BECAUSE I LEFT WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT.' 'I...' 'IT WAS PITOU WHO KILLED HIM, NOT ME!!' 'IT'S TRUE.' 'BUT I...' 'IT WASN'T ME!!' 'KAITO IS GONE...?' 'IF I HADN'T LEFT, KAITO WOULDN'T HAVE DIED.' At the bottom of the page lies Kaito's motionless body. The largest, boldest words at the very bottom read 'BUT, BUT, BUT...' as the weight of guilt and denial crashes over both boys.

Gon Killua Kaito

A close-up shows Gon's tear-streaked face twisted in anguish, eyes wide and mouth open. Below, two small panels depict Kaito's body floating in water and a close view of Killua's shocked face. The largest panel reveals Pitou crouched on all fours atop a dark mass, hair flowing wildly, eyes glowing with focus. Pitou's hands are extended forward as a massive aura burst radiates outward. The words 'DR. BLYTHE !!' explode beside Pitou in bold lettering. In the lower left of the panel, Killua stands small and tense, staring upward at the chimera ant. Kaito's body remains visible on the ground near Killua's feet.

Gon Killua Pitou Kaito

Killua stares in shock at the scene before him. A small figure clings to Pitou's shoulder, pleading desperately, 'ARE YOU... GOING TO HELP? WHAT...?' Killua mutters, 'HUH...?' Gon leans in close with wide eyes and insists, 'YOU CAN SAVE HIM.' He adds with relief, 'OH, HE'S NOT REALLY DEAD AFTER ALL.' Pitou crouches over Kaito's body on the stone floor, her hands working as someone asks, 'WHY ARE YOU HEALING YOURSELF? FIX KAITO.' Gon continues pleading, 'YOU CAN DO IT AFTERWARDS, JUST... PLEASE...?' Pitou stands tall with arms outstretched, reacting with visible confusion, 'HUH...?'

Killua Gon Pitou Kaito

A massive panel shows a starry night sky with the anguished question 'WHY!?' and 'HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?' Palm stands in the distance with Gon, her voice filled with disbelief as she says, 'AND GON IS JUST STANDING THERE LOOKING LOST!! AND PITOU'S HEALING HIMSELF, NOT KAITO!!' She continues, 'I DON'T KNOW. I CAN ONLY SEE, NOT HEAR...' and asks, 'WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAPPENED, PALM!?' Killua reacts with shock, 'WHAT...!? NO WAY...!!!' Palm notes, 'BUT GON IS ACTING STRANGE!!' In a close-up, Pitou holds her face with clawed hands, tears visible, thinking 'PITOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DEFY US...!!!' while another voice states, 'AS LONG AS WE HAVE THIS GIRL...'

Palm Gon Pitou Killua

In a dimly lit corridor, several figures stand amid debris. A tall silhouette looms in the background while a crouched form and a small figure huddle nearby. Speech bubbles reveal the situation: 'PITOU THINKS WE HAVE RESCUED KOMUGI.' 'THE TABLES ARE TURNED.' 'NOW THAT GON KID WILL DIE FOR SURE.' Killua appears in chibi form, arms crossed confidently, declaring 'WHO CAN STOP PITOU.' and 'I'M THE ONLY ONE.' A dramatic close-up shows intense eyes as Killua states 'I'LL STOP HIM.' and 'IF YOU GIVE ME THE GIRL.' Palm stands behind him with a serious expression, her long dark hair and torn dress visible.

Killua Palm

Killua launches into a powerful attack, his body twisting mid-air with explosive force and speed lines radiating outward. Palm stands in the background near a bright light source. Close-up panels show Killua's face reacting with wide eyes and sweat drops as he utters 'OOH...!' In the next intense sequence, Killua charges forward with a fierce glare, shouting 'DIE!' and 'YOU SCUM!' while delivering a devastating strike amid motion lines and impact effects.

Killua Palm

Palm stares intensely, her eyepatch visible, and declares her resolve. "I SWEAR ON MY EYE," she says, "LEAVE HER TO ME." She continues firmly, "I WON'T LET HIM HAVE HER." A soft reply comes: "OK." followed by "THANKS...!" Nearby, a Pouf clone with long hair carries an unconscious girl with flowing hair and a battered appearance, walking away under Palm's protection. In a sudden burst of motion, Gon activates his technique. Massive speed lines and impact effects explode across the panel as he shouts "DENKO SEKKA!!" and launches forward at blinding speed. At the bottom of the page, a small silhouette of Gon races ahead with the cry "GON!!" echoing.

Against a turbulent, star-filled sky, Gon soars through the air inside a glowing aura, his body stretched in full sprint. Large text declares his determination: "UNTIL I GET THERE !!!" and "JUST WAIT". Below, a massive crowd of onlookers stares upward in shock and awe, their faces filled with tension. In the foreground, Killua sits on the ground with his back to the viewer, while a girl in a dark uniform stands nearby with one arm extended. A hand reaches from off-panel toward her. She murmurs softly, "GON..." as the scene captures the moment of Gon's desperate flight.

Gon Killua Allukacrowd of onlookers

Killua stares upward with wide, tear-filled eyes, sweat and emotion streaking his face. Pouf's clone stands over him in a black double-breasted coat and sunglasses, one arm extended, declaring, "UNFORTUNATELY,". In a sudden burst of motion and dark energy, the clone's hair flares wildly as she points directly forward, eyes narrowed with fierce resolve. She states, "I HAVE TO KILL YOU." and adds, "FOR THE KING ...". Killua's face fills the final panel, his expression stricken as he asks, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HEAL HIM...?" and then, with a trembling voice, "...KILL ME...?".

Killua Pouf clone

Large text floats above a dark ink blot: "GOING TO HEAL KAITO?" followed by "SO YOU'RE NOT". Pouf clone's face appears in profile, eyes closed, hair flowing, reacting to the words. Beside her, the back of a spiky-haired figure is shown with motion lines and impact effects as the character shouts, "LIAR ...".

Pouf clone Killua

A lone figure hunches forward in total darkness, knees bent and fists clenched tightly at their sides. Close-up panels reveal a character with wild, curly hair and wide, intense eyes staring sharply to the side. A long horizontal sound effect stretches across the page. Below, three panels depict a dimly lit hallway where multiple doors are violently torn from their frames. Massive impact lines and debris fly outward as the walls and doors explode inward, leaving splintered wood and swirling dust in the aftermath.

Killua Pouf clone

A grand hallway erupts in chaos as massive impact lines tear through the air, shattering walls and sending debris flying in every direction. Two close-up panels show wide, shocked eyes belonging to different characters. One set of eyes asks "GOING ON?" while the other questions "WHAT'S WHAT?". The final panel delivers a tight close-up of Killua's face, sweat flying, with the words "IS IT. THIS" placed beside him.

Killua Pouf clone

A massive, muscular back fills the upper panel as Gon, transformed and radiating raw power, strains forward with explosive force. Debris and motion lines burst outward while the words 'SO I'LL' appear beside him. Below, a close-up shows his hand reaching out with fingers splayed as the text 'USE EVERY-THING.' is overlaid. On the right side of the page, Palm stares upward with wide, tear-filled eyes and a determined expression, her hair flowing wildly. She declares, 'I DON'T CARE IF IT'S OVER.' The composition emphasizes Gon's overwhelming physical change and Palm's emotional resolve in the moment.

Gon Palm

Pitou launches into a dramatic aerial pose with multiple limbs extended, surrounded by swirling motion lines and star-shaped impacts. The words 'I'LL KILL YOU!!!' explode on the left. In the background, a smaller figure of Gon stands on a rocky surface. Pitou activates the ability with 'TERPSICHORA !!' as radiant lines burst outward. Palm's face appears at the bottom right, wide-eyed, with the lines 'I WAS RIGHT....!!!' and 'I KNEW IT.' A broken panel edge displays 'PITOU.' and the note 'GON ISN'T GON ANYMORE....!!' The page ends with chapter markers indicating the final battle between Gon and Pitou.
