In a brightly lit meeting room with a black-and-white checkered floor, Pariston sits relaxed in a large ornate chair at the head of the table, smiling confidently with one hand raised. Large speech bubbles detail the voting rules: '2, FOR ALL THOSE WHO "ABSTAIN" OR THEIR VOTES ARE DEEMED "INVALID" SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN VIOLATION, AND HAVE THEIR HUNTER'S LICENSES TEMPORARILY CONFISCATED.' Another bubble states the plan to have Beans-san verify each sheet beforehand. A smaller bubble declares, 'I SUGGEST THOSE TWO POINTS!!' Below, the chaotic table scene shows scattered papers, overturned cups, and several Zodiac members reacting. One bubble reads, 'BUT DON'T YOU THINK THERE MAY BE A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO SAY "IF THEY WON'T TAKE MY INEFFECTIVE VOTE, I'M NOT VOTING."?' Another notes, 'THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRAMPLE THE WILL OF THE PREVIOUS CHAIRMAN.' Pariston leans forward replying, 'HMMMM, YOU MAY HAVE A POINT.' A further bubble proposes, 'IF WE DO 1, WE WON'T NEED TO DO 2, RIGHT? IF WE FIX THE INVALID VOTES, WE'LL BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE 95% MARK, RIGHT?' In the bottom panels, Pariston appears in profile as someone says, 'PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING INVALIDLY OR ABSTAINING ARE "BE-TRAYING" HIM?' Another voice asks, 'HM? IS SOMETHING WRONG? YOU MEAN THAT EVEN THOUGH THE FORMER CHAIRMAN SAID HE WANTED "95%", THAT WILL ONLY PROLONG THIS.' Pariston sharply replies, 'STOP.' A surprised voice exclaims, 'AH!?' The page title reads 'NO.321: MONSTER'.

A tense close-up sequence begins with a sharp-eyed character glaring intensely, sweat drops visible, as a large bubble states, 'THOUGH IT WOULD SEEM THE VAST MAJORITY OF VOTERS DON'T THINK SO.' The right panels show an enraged figure with spiky hair and bared teeth shouting, 'THEY JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO BE THE CHAIRMAN, DON'T THEY!?' followed by 'THAT'S WHO THOSE GUYS ARE!!' In the lower right, Pariston appears in profile with a calm yet pointed expression, replying, 'THEN PERHAPS WE SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THE JOB?' A bubble directly addresses the angry character: 'IS THAT DIFFICULT FOR SOMEONE UNSKILLED AT LANGUAGE AND ARITHMETIC LIKE YOU TO UNDERSTAND, KANZAI-SAN?' Pariston continues, 'SURELY THERE'S SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME WHO'S QUALIFIED.' The panels emphasize the confrontational stares and dramatic shading between the two speakers.

The official results of the 2nd 13th Generation Chairman Election are posted in large text. Number of total Hunters: 661. Number of valid votes: 583. 1st: Pariston 251 votes (37.9%). 2nd: Cheadle 46 votes. 3rd: Ickshonpe 28 votes. 4th: Botobai 27 votes. 5th: Mizaistom 24 votes. 6th: Sacchou 15 votes. 7th: Morau 13 votes. 8th: Deradein, Cutie, Sanbika, Bushidra 10 votes. 12th: Loope 9 votes. 13th: Rinne, Biscuit 8 votes. 15th: Tsezugera 7 votes. 16th: Nov, Kanzai 6 votes. 18th: Kaito, Satotz 4 votes. 20th: Menchi, Gehl, and 13 others 3 votes. 25th: Saiyuu and 11 others 2 votes. 47th: Gon, Hanzou and 16 others 1 vote. 45 invalid votes. 33 abstentions. Voter turnout 88.2%. Because the results do not meet the conditions, there will be a re-election. In the lower left panel, a spiky-haired young man stares forward with a tense, wide-eyed expression.

A chaotic meeting room filled with Hunter Association members. A massive figure with an afro, goggles, and a star-patterned outfit looms in the center while holding a long pole. Nearby, a panda-like creature, a girl in a dress, and a man in traditional clothing sit around a cluttered table. In the upper panels, a blonde woman with glasses speaks while a man in a hat and mask responds. A serious man in a black cap warns Kanzai. The spiky-haired young man reacts with shock. An older man with a beard and robe appears in the bottom panel. And in the first place, we can't say abstaining or casting an ineffective vote is against any law, is it? Rat? I think that transmitting the candidate messages should come before adding more rules. I'm warning you, Kanzai. I told you, that's just going to prolong this. I can't believe that's coming from you, Cheadle-san, who is in the forefront of the friends of the former chairman candidates. I wholeheartedly agree with the first half, but the latter half I find hard to believe. Meaning this shouldn't be at all difficult for Hunters with starts like us. The former chairman states that the difficulty of this election was D, did he not?

In a heated meeting, a spiky-haired man with glasses leans forward and declares that no matter the excuses about abstentions or ineffectual votes, the rules have not been broken. Another voice insists that Pariston is seriously annoying and demands he stop talking and shut his trap. The discussion turns to the Jyuni Shin trap, noting that Pariston has been entrusted with it and that he should be at the forefront of the conversation. A figure with wild hair and a mask-like expression shouts that if the rules make something compulsory, then it should be stated clearly in a speech. Pariston explains that his mention of violation was meant to suggest people were trying to display respect to the former chairman in an improper form, and that he wants to send the message that true respect would be completing the election. A vote is proposed. A small figure in a hat asks if being compulsory is such a bad thing. A blond character with a confident smile responds that he is fine with points 1 and 2. Another character with glasses and pigtails clasps her hands and asks what is being discussed before that point. At the bottom, a large close-up shows the bespectacled girl with pigtails speaking about Hunters whose licenses have been confiscated for a period not recognized as pro Hunters, addressing the rat directly and asking not to hear any ridiculous logic.

Close-ups show the bespectacled girl and the blond spiky-haired man exchanging glances. The blond man smiles and states that of course he would never dream of trying to manipulate the voter turnout with such an unfair tactic, adding that confiscated licenses simply mean the votes are confiscated. A man in a helmet asks what they mean by lose. The blond man continues that even if protected by the ten articles, their collective consciousness means they are not qualified to be a pro. A serious close-up of the helmeted man states that a pro who has lost his license might use the loss as a means of manipulating the voting results. The blond man replies that he does not think they can say for sure there is no one who might do that. In the final panels, the blond man points upward with a grin, declaring that this way there is no way the denominator could be lowered or the voter turnout percentage changed, and insists that even if someone loses their license during the electoral process they will not lose their right to vote. He demands that the record specify this.

A close-up shows a woman with round glasses and long hair speaking with visible frustration. "PARISTON'S SMILE WON'T DISAPPEAR," reads a caption box. She continues, "IT'S FRUSTRATING, BUT MORE SO THAN THE VOTER TURNOUT, IF WE DON'T FIND A WAY TO CHANGE THE ACTUAL VOTES." In smaller panels, several Zodiac members react. One asks, "WILL VICTIMS APPEAR?" Another warns, "IF THERE'S A MISTAKE IN THE TIMING..." Nearby, Ginta, Cluck, and Piyon are shown trying to counter manipulation as votes are being given toward them. A large panel features a panda-like figure beside the glasses-wearing woman, both looking serious. At the bottom, a smoky narration box states, "A LITTLE BIT OF ME THINKS 'I WISH GING WERE HERE'...!!" while another adds, "I HATE TO ADMIT IT, BUT SOMEWHERE DEEP DOWN."

Ging Freecss appears with spiky hair, wearing a patterned jacket, his hands clasped in front of his face with a slight smirk as a "!!" reaction floats nearby. The glasses-wearing woman leans in close, staring at him intently. A tight close-up focuses on Ging's eyes with the words "BEAST." and "AN UNRESTRAINED" overlaid. In the final panel, the woman reacts with shock, her hair flowing wildly, thinking, "CHOOSE SOMEONE LIKE THIS AS VICE CHAIRMAN...!?" and "WHY WOULD THE CHAIRMAN" as her expression shows disbelief.

Over a sprawling town nestled in rugged mountains, a sleek airship glides beneath a cloudy sky and a dark celestial body. A voice remarks, "JUST APPOINTING A YES MAN WOULD BE BORING, DON'T YOU THINK?" Another answers, "EVEN THOUGH I CAN FINALLY NAME SOMEONE MYSELF,". In a closer view, a wild-haired, bearded man with intense eyes leans forward, declaring, "I WANT TO HAVE A GUY LIKE THAT BY MY SIDE." Vertical text beside him reads "SOMEBODY INTERESTING~" while he adds "I FOOOUND" and "THE TYPE I'M LEAST COMPATIBLE WITH". The scene cuts to a stark black panel where a bald figure with wide, startled eyes utters "CHAIRMAN...".

A cracked, shadowy silhouette stands amid a storm of scattered papers inside a damaged room, declaring "I THINK YOU WERE WRONG." and "EVEN NOW,". An inset shows a tall tower marked with a large X against a starry sky. Another inset depicts a nighttime city skyline with illuminated skyscrapers. At the bottom, against a cloudy night sky, a voice exclaims "YOUNG MASTER KILLUA HAS RETURNED!?".

A mustached man in a fur hat speaks urgently into a phone, sweat on his face. "HOW DID HE SEEM?" he asks. On the other end of the line, a calm voice replies, "I'M GLAD! I WAS WORRIED WHEN HIS NAME CAME UP AS ONE OF THE ABSENTEES." Far away, a massive ornate gate labeled "TRIAL GATE" stands open in a rocky mountain pass. "UP TO 5...!?" someone exclaims. "HE OPENED THE TRIAL GATE," another notes. A bald man in a suit continues the phone conversation outside a wooden house. "AND TELL THEM IF POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE THEM TO HELP THE YOUNG MASTER WITH WHATEVER HE'S DOING," he says. "IF ANY OF THE YOUNG MASTER'S FRIENDS APPEAR THERE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW." He adds, "HE SEEMED TO BE THINKING OVER SOMETHING HEAVILY. IT WAS A MOOD WHERE I REALLY COULDN'T EVEN CALL OUT TO HIM." "NO... WHAT WORRIED ME WAS HIS EXPRESSION." Inside the house, a boy stands at the window looking out. "MY HEAVENS... GON-KUN IS...!!!" Outside, a figure sits on the ground in shock. "!!?" "UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE FRIENDS ARE THE CAUSE," the bald man continues. "NO..." A close-up shows the bald man's intense face as he shouts, "YOUNG MASTER...!!!"

A massive mountain looms under a starry sky with dramatic clouds. Large sound effects "HYUOOOOO" echo across the peak. The scene shifts to a long stone corridor with rough walls and lanterns, where more "HYUOOOOO" effects reverberate through the passage. A close-up shows a person with long flowing hair in profile, eyes closed, facing right. Below, another close-up reveals a spiky-haired person also in profile, eyes open and looking forward with a serious expression.

In a dimly lit chamber crowded with bizarre machinery, pipes, and a massive insectoid apparatus, a long-haired figure sits cross-legged atop a raised mechanical platform. Gon stands below in the center of the room, facing the platform, and declares, "LET ME SEE ALLUKA." The long-haired figure remains motionless amid the tangled equipment. In a sudden close-up, Gon's face fills the frame with intense eyes and a slight smile as he adds, "I NEED HIS POWER," radiating determination.

Killua appears in the upper left, pointing forward and shouting "COME ON!" while declaring "I'M GOING TO TRY, EVEN IF YOU TRY TO STOP ME!" An unseen voice replies "IMPOSSIBLE." In the next panel the long-haired person is shown in profile. Killua stands before an ornate doorway as voices state "OLD MAN," "TIME IS PRECIOUS," and "KILLUA." A wide shot reveals the chaotic machinery room with the long-haired figure now visible among the devices; a large speech bubble asserts "THAT'S NOT TRUE!! YOU CAN, OLD MAN!! AND BIG BROTHER, TOO!!" while another warns "NO ONE CAN CONTROL ALLUKA." The long-haired person says "ON HIM...?" and "I'M COUNTING ON HIM AS MY BROTHER!! HE'S NOT A MACHINE!!" Killua stands facing the mechanical creature as the long-haired person continues speaking.

In a long, dimly lit industrial corridor lined with pipes and metal doors, a voice declares that the presence ahead is not a person. The scene shifts to an ancient stone passageway where the same voice continues, stating that it cannot think of him as family. A massive, four-legged mechanical creature with a crown-like headpiece towers over a small figure standing on the ground below, its body emitting a low rumbling sound. Killua stares up in utter shock, his spiky hair standing on end as he recoils from the sight.

Alluka's face fills the left side of the page, her expression calm yet carrying a faint smile as she speaks. To the right, she sits cross-legged in traditional robes amid a vast collection of stuffed animals and toys of every shape and size. Beside her rests another figure in dark clothing. A large speech bubble explains that the entity came from a different place, followed by a second bubble describing it as something dark.

In a dimly lit space, a lone figure stands before a massive, hulking form wearing a crown-like structure. The sound 'GURI...' reverberates as the figure remains motionless. A sharp command 'SIT.' rings out. The narrative continues with a close view of a stern face: 'IF IT'S NOT REPELLED BY A SOMEONE AT THE LEVEL OF A NEN ERASER, HE'LL BE KILLED. WITH THE TREMENDOUS LEVEL OF OATH AND RESTRICTION GON PLACED ON HIMSELF,' the eyes narrow with intensity. From behind, Killua faces away, his spiky hair prominent, and states firmly, 'I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP HIM.' Next to him stands a long-haired figure who adds, 'IF ALLUKA IS LIKE HE WAS IN THE OLD DAYS'.

Killua turns with wide eyes and an intense aura radiating outward, his finger raised as he exclaims 'IS ALLUKA....!! AND THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE GON'. The long-haired figure responds in profile, 'IS BETRAYAL, ISN'T IT? LEAVING A FRIEND YOU CAN SAVE ALONE'. A pair of legs strides forward across a wooden floor with motion lines. The caption reads 'FOR A FRIEND... HE WALKS A DANGEROUS PATH!!'. In a long corridor filled with star-shaped impact marks and debris, a voice calls 'COME WITH ME.'. The page ends with the Hunter x Hunter logo and chapter number.
