Hunter × Hunter Chapter 307: Loss

A massive explosion tears through the rocky mountain landscape, sending jagged black spikes and debris hurtling outward in every direction under a dark, cloudy sky. In the heart of the blast, a fierce warrior with wild, spiky hair crouches with mouth open in a roar, body tensed amid the chaos. Below, a small armored figure lies sprawled on the ground near the impact point. In the foreground, a close-up reveals another character's face, eyes narrowed and mouth open with visible teeth, sweat drops flying from the intensity. Narration states: "A HARSH, DISSONANT SOUND LIKE AN AXE CUTTING AN IRON STRING." Another box reads: "AND WHAT HE SAW WAS..." A final jagged balloon asks: "WHICH ONE OF THEM... IS THAT?"

Gon plummets down the sheer face of a towering structure, arms outstretched and hair whipping wildly as he falls. A massive, bloodied fist dominates the foreground, its knuckles scarred and dripping. Narration states that the silhouette was not that of the person he knew. Another box notes that bloody fist which he must have already wielded over and over. SFX crack through the air with "JAN ..." and "KEN ...". From below or afar, someone shouts "GON!!" as debris and motion lines emphasize the violent descent.

A small panel shows a hunched, battered figure collapsed on rocky ground. Close-up reveals a wide-eyed character with spiky hair and a tense expression as narration states he lay battered on the ground. Below, Kite stands with his powerful back to the viewer, tail visible, staring into a dark cavern entrance. A massive, hunched chimeric form with a long tail-like appendage looms over the scene, its body twisted in the moment of impact. Narration declares that it finally broke through Pitou's skull, sending debris and shockwaves outward. At the bottom left, a speech bubble clearly reads "KAITO."

From behind, Gon stands with his back to the viewer, his tall spiky hair unmistakable. A small bubble trails off with ellipses. He speaks quietly: "SO..." A larger bubble follows: "I FINISHED HIM OFF..." A close-up reveals his heavily muscled, veined right arm and clenched fist. In the next tier, Killua appears with wide, shocked eyes and an open mouth, staring forward. He exclaims, "GON... IS THAT YOU...?" Gon’s face is shown in profile, hair wild and expression intense, replying, "JUST AS YOU TAUGHT ME." A narrow black panel captures only a fragment of Gon’s eye and hair. The bottom half of the page is dominated by a large close-up of Killua’s face in three-quarter view, sweat beading on his cheek and neck, eyes narrowed with tension. In a small bubble near his shoulder he utters, "KILLUA..."

In a forest path, Killua immediately thinks of Bisky upon seeing the massive aura. Narration notes that Bisky had merely returned to her true form, with her aura not increasing drastically. But with Gon it is the opposite. Killua stands over Gon, one foot planted on his head, as Gon lies on the ground staring upward in shock. Behind them, two opponents—a bald swordsman and a long-haired fighter—react with surprise. Killua realizes this power is something different. He wonders aloud how many years, ten or twenty, it must have taken. It should have required years and years of endless training to reach this form. Gon, sweat pouring down his face, thinks that to obtain such a powerful aura, what did he have to pay?

A colossal, nightmarish entity towers over the scene, its enormous body filling the upper half of the frame with jagged wings, multiple clawed limbs, and a terrifying skull-like face marked by a single glowing eye. The creature radiates overwhelming pressure, its form twisting with raw power. Below it, a muscular young man stands barefoot on a rocky outcrop, his sleeveless shirt torn open to reveal a heavily defined torso. His short dark hair is slicked back, and his expression is focused and grim as he holds a small object between his hands. To his left, a dark-clad figure lies crumpled on the ground, limbs twisted and motionless. At the very bottom of the page, a massive, horned head with swirling patterns stares upward, its presence adding to the chaotic, oppressive atmosphere. The entire composition conveys a moment of intense confrontation and aftermath.

A massive, dark, muscular form hurtles violently through the air, its body twisted and blurred by extreme speed. Thick black speed lines radiate outward from the figure as a brilliant white explosion erupts at the point of impact on the right side of the panel. Below, a separate panel shows a clawed hand reaching desperately forward, fingers splayed against radiating motion lines and a bright flash. Another panel captures multiple hands extended with heavy motion blur, fingers curled as if grasping at empty space or being flung backward. In the final close-up panel, a young boy with short dark hair stares forward with wide, glistening eyes. Tears stream down his cheeks as his mouth hangs slightly open in shock. His left hand is raised limply near his face, fingers loosely curled, while his body remains still against the dark background.

A powerful fist clenches and rises high against the blank background. The boxed caption declares PITOU'S DEVOTION TO THE KING. In the next panel two figures hurtle through the air amid heavy motion lines, one striking the other. The impact explodes outward as a body slams into the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and debris while sharp spikes and radiating speed lines fill the frame. Close-ups reveal Pitou's face, eyes wide and mouth slightly open in a tense expression, followed by Gon's shocked face, eyes bulging and mouth agape.

Meruem sits heavily on the grassy ground, his long dark hair whipping wildly around him from residual force. His feathered shoulder pad is torn, and he extends one arm forward while bracing himself with the other, eyes fixed ahead with a grave expression. Motion lines and impact streaks fill the air around him. Below, a close-up shows Meruem's narrowed eyes, followed by a sharp reaction from a spiky-haired boy whose face twists in shock. A massive burst of energy erupts across the lower panel with bold, jagged sound effects. Narration boxes read: "THAT EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH, HIS TERPSICHORA , DRIVEN BY HIS IMMENSE NEN," and "WAS SO GREAT."

Countless black silhouettes erupt outward in every direction amid violent motion lines and debris, flung from a central monstrous form that has just been struck. Narration declares that it "BECAME A ZOMBIE, BENT ON GON'S DESTRUCTION." The creature is shown posed as if to leap after them in pursuit. In a close-up panel, Killua's face appears with eyes shut and mouth slightly open in realization. A caption states "KILLUA HEARD HIM." The next panel captures a lone figure hurtling through the air at extreme speed. Final narration reads "AND IN THAT SPACE OF A MOMENT, NO LONGER THAN THE BLINK OF AN EYE," as the view shifts to Killua and a long-haired figure crouched on the ground, the air still rippling from the sudden movement.

Killua stares ahead with a calm, determined expression, his spiky hair framing his face. "I'M ALL RIGHT," he states firmly. In the next sequence, a small object flies through the air near a dark surface as Killua insists, "I'M NOT JUST BLUFFING. IT DOESN'T HURT." His face appears in close-up, eyes wide and intense. A wide panel follows with scattered particles and text reading "A LITTLE BIT HAPPY. I'M JUST". Below, a profile view shows Killua's mouth open as he says "FINALLY ...", followed by another close-up of his face breaking into a broad, relieved smile with wide eyes.

That moment... Gon stands with arms crossed tightly in front of him, a serious expression on his face. 'I'M THE SAME AS KAITO.' A close-up reveals Gon's wide, intense eyes and spiky hair framing his face. 'GON ...' The narration continues below: 'I'D BEEN SAVED JUST A LITTLE. I FELT LIKE' with sharp motion lines and scattered debris emphasizing the emotional weight.

A colossal impact erupts across the battlefield. Massive black shapes and swirling debris dominate the upper panel as an overwhelming force hurls a figure through the air amid radiating speed lines and scattered fragments. The sheer power of the strike creates a vortex of motion and dust. Below, the sequence continues in rapid succession: a spiky-haired fighter is shown mid-air, body twisted by the blow, hair streaming backward. Another panel captures a low, grounded stance as the same combatant braces against the ground, one hand planted firmly while the other arm extends. A final panel shows the figure launching forward again, arm cocked for a counterstrike, surrounded by explosive impact lines and flying particles. The entire page conveys unrelenting speed and destructive force between the two fighters.

Netero is violently hurled backward through the air by a colossal unseen force. His muscular frame twists mid-flight, mouth stretched wide in a raw shout of exertion or pain. A long chain of heavy circular links whips around his body. Massive impact lines and debris erupt from the ground below as the force drives him downward. In the lower panel Netero lies amid shattered earth and swirling dust, one arm flung outward, his body half-buried in rubble from the tremendous blow.

In the ruined chamber, Netero stands with his right arm raised high, declaring, "I'LL GIVE YOU. MY RIGHT ARM." He adds that it "COMES ... FIRST." A close-up captures his intense glare as he addresses his foe with "YOU, TOO." Below, the massive strike erupts in a blinding flash of light and radiating shockwaves. The onomatopoeia "GULI"!! rings out as Netero announces, "NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOD NIGHT ..." The small figure of Meruem is caught at the center of the expanding blast amid flying debris and impact lines.

Killua's face fills the frame, eyes bulging and mouth stretched wide in raw panic as he screams at Gon. "NO!! YOU CAN'T!! DON'T USE THAT POWER ANY MORE!!" he yells, sweat flying from his strained features. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WILL DO TO YOU....!?" he continues desperately. "GON!" he shouts the name with everything he has. To the left, a smaller panel shows a lone figure seated on the ground, back turned, body jolted by an impact marked "JAN!" with a "KEN" label near the figure. The bottom of the page cuts to a tight close-up of Gon's face in profile, eyes narrowed and jaw set in grim determination, shadows cutting across his features as he ignores the warning.

Meruem's face fills the upper panel in extreme close-up, his bald head and intense eyes conveying a moment of stunned realization. His gaze is directed downward, mouth parted slightly as if struck by an overwhelming truth. The lower panel erupts into a chaotic explosion of motion lines, debris, and impact bursts. Blackened silhouettes of legs and feet are caught mid-action amid swirling dust and shattered ground. Bold text declares 'HIS LOSS WAS TOO GREAT' on the left side of the panel. The Hunter × Hunter logo and 'No.307 END' mark the conclusion of the chapter at the bottom center.
