A massive title splash dominates the page. At the top, jagged motion lines and the words "GON TRANSCENDS...!!!" cut across a ruined cityscape. Below, a colossal butterfly-winged creature with clawed hands and segmented limbs hangs suspended in darkness, its body outlined by radiating white lines. Thick black crosses and impact marks fill the air around it. The creature shouts "DANCE PAST YOUR LIMITS!!" on the left and "TERPS-ICHORA !!" on the right while thin threads stretch downward to a tiny figure of Gon, arms outstretched and body rigid. At the very bottom, a close-up panel shows Palm's wide-eyed face framed by two large speech bubbles: "HAVE REACHED THOSE OF THE KING!!" and "HIS POWERS".

Pouf clone Gon Palm

Explosive action erupts across the page. A massive white burst with black X marks and speed lines fills the left side. A clawed hand grips a small round object while another panel shows a close-up of a large eye. On the right, vertical panels display rapid motion: a clawed hand reaching, an eye widening, and a round object being struck with heavy impact SFX "ギリギリギリ". A speech bubble declares "I WILL STOP HIM!!" near the top right. The bottom right panel shows the object shattering under the force of the claws.

Pitou

A powerful impact sends the curly-haired figure with insect-like wings and tail hurtling through the air amid flying debris and motion lines. The figure twists violently as it is launched upward. Below, in a spacious stone hall with checkered floor and distant doors, a small dark silhouette lies sprawled on the ground surrounded by scattered objects and impact marks. Close-up panels capture the figure's intense expression and flowing hair as it regains momentum. In a dynamic low-angle shot the same figure lunges forward at high speed, body angled sharply with arms extended and motion streaks emphasizing its rapid descent toward the hall floor.

A close-up reveals the curly-haired character's face with wide eyes and sweat drops, conveying shock. An open doorway leads into the empty hall. The character streaks forward at extreme speed, body extended, while two large speech bubbles appear: 'IS HE HEADING FOR THE KING!?' and 'COULD IT BE...!?'. Heavy horizontal speed lines fill the panel. Below, a pair of wide eyes stare in alarm. A tall, slender, dark figure stands with its back to the viewer, multiple speech bubbles emerging: 'I DON'T WANT TO DESTROY THE BUILDING.' and 'COME WITH ME.' In the background the small figure stands ready near the open doors.

A powerfully built, shirtless man stands barefoot on the ground in a tense stance. His torso and limbs are heavily muscled with visible veins and definition. A massive, towering black shape rises from his head like a column of smoke or flame, stretching far upward. One arm is raised with fingers curled into a fist while the other hangs loosely at his side. A speech bubble appears to his right.

A close-up shows a wide eye with a speech bubble reading 'FOLLOW ME.' Below, a forest path scene reveals a distant silhouetted figure standing among trees. In the foreground, a white-haired character wearing a black outfit with a long tail leaps forward in a dynamic pose, arms extended. Speech bubbles appear around this character. A narration box states that someone has forcibly grown. The bottom panel shows a close-up of a female face with wide eyes, sweat drops, and an open mouth, accompanied by text about reaching an age where defeat is possible.

Gon stares straight ahead with a stern, unyielding expression, his spiky hair casting sharp shadows across his face. A small Pouf clone hovers in the upper right, limbs flailing and mouth open in alarm. The view cuts to a tight close-up of Gon’s eyes, narrowed and blazing with intensity. In the final panel the Pouf clone is hurled backward by a tremendous impact, body twisting as speed lines explode outward from the point of collision.

A powerfully built fighter twists in mid-motion, muscles tensed as he delivers a crushing strike. Dynamic speed lines swirl around his body while large, bold impact lettering dominates the lower half of the panel, conveying the force of the blow.

muscular fighter

A muscular fighter launches a brutal strike, leg extended in a powerful kick that connects with explosive force. The words 'FIRST COMES' appear beside the blow. Below, the opponent lies crumpled on the ground, body twisted and face contorted in agony amid heavy impact lines and the sound effect 'GULP'. Vertical panels on the right show a figure caught in a blinding burst of light, limbs flailing as it is hurled upward and then begins to fall through darkness, trailing faint energy lines and debris.

A massive explosion erupts with jagged black SFX characters bursting outward from a central impact. The force hurls a small figure through the air. Subsequent panels show the figure falling through darkness, limbs limp, then another violent detonation at the bottom that sends debris flying and lights up the surroundings with sharp motion lines and impact shapes.

Intense combat erupts across multiple panels. In the top section, clawed hands and limbs clash violently with heavy motion lines. Below, smaller panels show figures locked in rapid exchanges, one labeled 'KEN ...' near a crouched stance while another bubble reads 'JAN ...' amid explosive impacts and radiating speed lines. A bottom panel reveals a character with wild, spiky hair and an open-mouthed expression reacting to the chaos as debris and energy effects fill the frame.

A powerful figure surges forward in a full-page dynamic spread. The muscular character leans into a low, explosive stance with one arm extended, surrounded by radiating speed lines and a massive dragon-like energy head roaring from the left side. The background explodes with motion streaks and light bursts, emphasizing the sheer force and velocity of the movement as the figure's cape or hair trails behind.

muscular attacking figure

A violent burst of force erupts across the entire page. Thick black ink strokes twist and slash outward while sharp white lines radiate from a central point of impact, creating the impression of a massive, uncontrolled release of power. The composition is dominated by chaotic motion lines and splattered ink, conveying an overwhelming surge that fills the space completely.

Pitou felt relief as consciousness slipped away. In the upper panel, the narration states this directly. Below, the scene shifts to a forest setting where a powerful aura erupts violently. A voice explains that he could only gain this power by shortening his lifespan. Another voice responds with relief: Thank goodness. The final panel shows a massive impact crater in the ground with debris flying. The narration continues that without being prepared to never use Nen again, it would be impossible to reach this state.

Pitou

High in a sunlit forest canopy, a lone figure hangs suspended from a long vine, body limp against the bright sky. Bold text declares that by sacrificing all one's inborn talent a power can only be achieved this way. The scene shifts to a devastated forest floor littered with splintered wood and debris. A wild-haired character with a fierce expression stands amid the wreckage, shouting that they are the one to die. Another voice or the same figure adds that they are glad, even as the future is lost, because the battle is over.
