With the battle over, the Hunters are in a bustling city hospital. A long-haired figure in a nurse uniform stands outside on the phone, declaring, "I WON'T DROP DEAD THAT EASILY!!" A reply bubble answers, "YEAH, I'M OKAY!!" Inside the hospital, medical staff and patients move through corridors. A close-up shows a bandaged patient saying, "IT WAS KINDA STUPID IN A SUBTLE WAY." Another voice responds, "YEAH." Nearby, a character notes, "NO... I DIDN'T SEE IT IN PERSON." A doctor-like figure states, "THE BOSS CARRIED OUT HIS RESPONSIBILITY..." and another replies, "YEAH." In the lower panel, an empty hospital hallway is shown with the narration, "PALM'S WAITING." The large Hunter × Hunter logo dominates the upper left, and the page is marked NO. 316 ◆ REAL NAME.

A young woman with long dark hair and a headband sits alone on stone steps, knees drawn up and head resting on her hand, her expression distant and weary. Her white dress and black boots contrast with the bright background. Below, in a wide empty corridor, the same woman sits far in the distance on the floor. In the foreground, a small bandaged figure with a striped head wrap crouches near a tray of food and a water bottle, watching her with wide, concerned eyes. The scene is quiet and still, emphasizing the separation between the two figures.

In a high-rise office overlooking the city, a bald man in a tuxedo sits on the shoulder of a long-haired colleague wearing sunglasses while speaking on the phone. The bald man remarks that the captured person was once assimilated by the enemy. He questions whether having only one person confirm the King's life or death is truly safe. The long-haired man responds that their reports demonstrate perfect professionalism, though he notes a conflict in their definitions of the term. The bald man continues, stating that when trusted comrades advise leaving matters to them in the field, they comply. He contrasts this with the colleague's office-based professionalism. The long-haired man retorts that if the situation escalates, they should expect a hearing before the vice-chairmen. The bald man insists he is not in the office and apologizes while acknowledging both approaches as professional. Later, the bald man sits alone at his desk, pressing buttons on a telephone as the office lights dim.

The bald man in the tuxedo sits at his desk working on a laptop when a bright flash erupts from a disc he holds up. The disc emits intense light rays as his hand reaches toward it. A close-up shows the bald man's face with wide eyes and a single tear, conveying shock or deep emotion. In the final panel, he sits alone in the darkened office at night, facing a large window with clouds outside. Text on the window reads 'PLEASE ENJOY YOUR REST.' and 'PRESIDENT...... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.' The bald man remains seated with his back to the viewer, laptop open before him.

In a hospital reception area, a long-haired man in sunglasses speaks on the phone. "Hello, Coluto? It's me. Yeah." Nearby, two nurses stand by an IV stand. A caption explains the political situation is unrelated to the ants and that the matter has become international. Another note states that if they play the role of "good Majyuu" there won't be any problem, as the political guys have settled into being a new kind of Majyuu. The man asks, "Any changed over there?" A close-up shows his profile as he reacts with "Hm?" The scene shifts to a devastated landscape filled with rubble and smoke surrounding a large multi-story building. A small figure in the debris asks, "You're worried about something?" At the bottom of the page, a young person with a distinctive swirl hairstyle holds a phone and says, "Well... the truth is..." A sharp voice replies from the receiver, "What is it?"

Inside a hospital room, a man in a checkered hat stands with arms crossed over a crouching figure on the floor. In the same room, a heavily bandaged patient sits in a chair beside a bed. In the hallway, the checkered-hat man reacts with surprise as a doctor in a white coat emerges from double doors. Further down the corridor, the checkered-hat man and a crouching companion watch the doctor walk away. A close-up shows a sweating character with spiky hair shouting, "How is Gon's condition?" In the hallway, someone yells "Doctor!!" as the doctor approaches with two men in suits.

In a hospital corridor, several men in white coats and dark suits stand together. One doctor states, 'I can't recommend transporting him to a specialized institution.' Another adds, 'As long as he stays in this condition where he can't be removed from life-support, I can't say any more than that.' A close-up shows an older man with a scarred face looking grave as he says, 'He's still in critical condition.' A narration box recalls, 'In one night, a 12 year old boy... in such a tragedy...' The scarred man continues, 'At any rate... I've never seen nor heard of this before...' In another room, a man wearing a checkered cap and glasses leans forward and declares, 'He's a hero. For the work he did, I'll bear all the expenses.' A suited man with glasses replies, 'I'll have the specialized institution come to us. I understand.' The man in the cap suddenly stands, points upward with intense determination, and shouts, 'WE CANNOT LET GON DIE!! But no matter what, if necessary, we'll remake this hospital itself.'

Killua stares forward with wide, intense eyes against a black background, his spiky hair dramatically lit. He then sits alone on a bench in a quiet hospital hallway, head bowed and hands clasped near his knees. Sliding doors marked with oval signs repeatedly produce the sound effect 'SHUU' as they open and close. Killua remains motionless, his posture heavy with worry. In the final panel, he is seen from behind, standing at a large window and gazing outward while more 'SHUU' sounds echo through the corridor.
08
A spiky-haired boy crouches low on the tiled floor, head bowed and hands resting on his knees. In a close-up, his intense eyes glance sideways as a voice states, "ALL ON YOUR OWN..." Another voice replies, "YOU TOOK CARE OF IT." The boy continues, "SO IN THE END..." A wide panel shows only his feet planted firmly. Then a massive horizontal panel erupts with bold lettering: "WITH THAT ONE MYSELF. I'M GONNA DEAL..." Below, against a dark, smoky background, a small white inset reveals two tiny figures facing each other—one diminutive and triangular, the other taller and more detailed.

09
A long-haired figure stands with arms outstretched, back partially turned, declaring, "I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT... YOU WERE INDEBTED TO KAITO." Close-up eyes stare forward with a single sweat drop. Vertical text reads "I UNDERSTAND..." A black panel interrupts with "BUT STILL... BUT..." On the lower half, the spiky-haired boy stands with his back to the viewer, head slightly lowered. Facing him from a short distance is a much smaller figure in similar clothing. The boy says, "WE'LL BEAT HER TOGETHER..." while the smaller figure replies, "I WAS HOPING YOU'D SAY THAT."

Gon stands in profile, his expression calm yet determined as he speaks. "Let's go." Above him, floating text boxes pose quiet questions: "AS A TEAM? DIDN'T THAT MEAN" and "AS FRIENDS? OR". Below, the back of Killua's head fills the panel, his spiky hair catching the light. In the final wide panel, two sets of hands appear. One fist belongs to Gon, the other to Killua. Text beside Gon's hand reads "I WAS JUST A BURDEN." Beside Killua's hand, the words "I UNDERSTAND..." are visible. The scene captures a moment of quiet realization between the two boys.
11
Killua appears in close-up, his spiky hair wild and eyes wide as he speaks with intensity. "YOU KEEP MOVING AHEAD ON YOUR OWN" and "IT'S THE SAME THING THIS TIME, TOO!!" SFX "SHUU" and "シャッ" emphasize motion and impact. A small panel shows a dark, rainy scene with wooden structures and the repeated SFX "SHUU". Narration continues: "IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME... AND I DEAL WITH ALL THE CLEAN UP!!" Killua's head is shown bowed in a black panel. Then a large panel states "BUT... ONLY THIS TIME, I DON'T FORGIVE YOU." Killua replies "I'LL DO IT...!!" The final panel shows his feet in sandals on a wooden floor with motion lines, accompanied by the text "DEFINITELY MAKE YOU BETTER AGAIN. I WILL APOLOGIZE...?"
12
Killua stands motionless on the grass, staring up at a massive shattered screen embedded in the wall. The display flickers with static and rain streaks, revealing only the dark silhouette of a towering figure. From the broken speakers, a furious voice erupts: "MAKE YOU APOLOGIZE!!!!!" Another jagged speech bubble declares, "SO I'LL DEFINITELY." Killua's fists clench at his sides, his back rigid as he faces the ruined monitor.
13
Killua stands in profile inside a building corridor, his expression serious. A man in a checkered cap and dark suit approaches and calls out, "KILLUA." In the next panels the man explains he will leave temporarily to organize a team of doctors and transport equipment and people using "hide and seek." Killua reacts with shock, saying "NO..." and "THAT'S OKAY." The man asks if Killua wants to come along. In the final wide panel Killua faces the man and declares, "I'LL SAVE GON." The man replies that staying by Gon's side and calling out to him is also necessary.

From behind, Killua's spiky-haired silhouette declares, "They're necessary, too." The suited man in the checkered cap reacts with visible shock, "!?". Killua adds, "I'm counting on the doctors." A dramatic close-up captures Killua's intense eyes and wind-swept hair as he vows, "Until I get back." Outside a modern building, Killua strides away in his school uniform while bold lettering on the doors proclaims "THE ONE WHO'LL SAVE GON IS ME!!". In the final panel the man stands at the entrance and shouts after the departing figure, "Killua!?".

A winged chimera ant figure stands on a ledge holding a phone, reacting to distant screams of "Nooo!!! It's Nooo!!!" and "No!!". The figure says, "Yeah... it's Reina, but" and questions "Name...!?". Below, a young boy on the phone reports, "He keeps saying the name is wrong." The ant figure then declares firmly, "I'm not Reina!!" while standing inside a cluttered children's room filled with toys. An older woman with sunglasses, visible in the foreground, reacts with alarm on her own phone call.

In a room overflowing with toys, stuffed animals, and scattered playthings, a long-haired girl stands in an aggressive stance, gripping two large blades crossed above her head. She yells fiercely with wide eyes and an open mouth. "KAITO!!" "MY NAME IS" Behind her in the doorway, a boy with a pompadour hairstyle watches with a tense expression, while a small girl sits slumped on the floor among the toys, her head bowed. The panel shifts to a tight close-up of a long-haired man's face, his mouth open in shock and sweat drops visible as he reacts with "........ GH?!"

In a busy public terminal filled with people, large speech bubbles erupt from off-panel as bystanders turn their heads in surprise. "KILLUA !!!" "GON !!!" A spiky-haired boy stands near a shuttered storefront, holding a phone to his ear. Beside him, a close-up shows the long-haired man with sunglasses shouting with mouth wide open. The final panel reveals a room with closed sliding doors marked "SHUU" on both sides, a phone left off the hook, and monitors visible inside.

A woman with long dark hair stands with her back turned in a room, her posture tense. In the corner, a small bandaged figure sits up with wide eyes and an open mouth, reacting in shock. The scene shifts to a close-up of the woman's face: tears stream down her cheeks from wide, sorrowful eyes, and a dark circular mark with a symbol is visible on her forehead. Her expression is one of deep distress. Below, a wide panel shows a cloudy sky with two speech bubbles. A voice declares the outcome: "IT'S OVER." Another bubble trails off with an ellipsis. Narration questions the result Palm witnessed between the King and Komugi.
