Chapter 332 · APPLAUSE

00AI-written

In the Hunter Association election hall, a tall man in a black-and-white spotted outfit and helmet stands prominently in the foreground, one hand raised to his face. He declares, "I'LL BECOME THE SACRIFICE..." Large text beside him reads "ONLY FOUR REMAIN... THE ELECTION REACHES ITS CLIMAX!!" Below, speech bubbles fill the panels. One voice asserts, "CHEADLE IS THE MOST FIT TO BECOME THE NEXT CHAIRMAN!!" Another states, "I'LL MAKE THIS BRIEF. I BELIEVE THAT OUT OF THESE FOUR CANDIDATES," while SFX "ドド」 rumble. A smaller panel shows a woman with dark hair standing at a podium before a crowd, flames and motion lines around her. She says, "BEFORE THAT, I'D LIKE TO RAISE MY STUDENTS UP TO BECOME THE FINEST HUNTERS THEY CAN BE, AND EARN THE TITLE OF TRIPLE HUNTER!" A rival candidate replies, "I WON'T SAY THAT I DON'T WANT TO BECOME CHAIRMAN MYSELF! BUT IT NOW IS NOT MY TIME!!" Another panel shows a crowd of suited men and women reacting as a voice continues, "I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE EVERYONE RESPECTING MY WISHES!! THAT IS ALL!!" The final balloon declares, "ALSO, IN ORDER TO END THIS ELECTION HERE TODAY!!" On the right, the spotted man adds, "IN ORDER TO KNOCK PARISTON OUT OF THE TOP SPOT....!!" The page ends with the author's signature.

A dramatic close-up of Gon Freecss with spiky green hair and wide green eyes fills the right side against a fiery yellow-orange background with motion blur and speed lines. The top banner reads "HUNTER x HUNTER CREATED BY YOSHIHIRO TOGASHI AND PRESENTED BY mangastream.com". Credit boxes list: "CLEANED BY MEGATRON, PROSTYLE", "REDRAWS BY KRAV, zid", "TYPESETTING BY KARA, ZIDANE", "TRANSLATED BY MOLOKIDAN", "PROVIDED BY FRIEDRICH". A notice box warns readers not to rehost the chapter and to support official volumes, with the mangastream.com logo visible.

A tense gathering unfolds as several figures react to the ongoing proceedings. A man with sunglasses mutters, "HMMM...WHAT SHOULD I SAY..." Nearby, a woman with glasses and a cross pendant stands silently, while a bandaged young man stares forward intently and another figure exhales a small sound effect. Cheadle steps forward on stage as a voice commands, "MISS CHEADLE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD!!" She announces, "NOW THEN, WE'LL BE HEARING FROM THE CANDIDATE WHO GOT THE THIRD MOST VOTES IN THE PREVIOUS ROUND..." After a brief pause, she concludes, "THAT IS ALL." Leorio takes the podium and declares, "FOR MR. LEORIO. I WOULD LIKE TO STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE" and adds, "I'LL MAKE THIS BRIEF AS WELL. -> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN." The audience erupts in shock with loud SFX and exclamation marks, drawing surprised glances from Leorio and another observer.

Pariston reacts with shock, exclaiming, "WHAT... WHAT ARE YOU THINKING CHEADLE...?" He continues dismissively, "EH, NO ONE'S GOING TO VOTE FOR ME ANYWAY. AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO, EITHER! I GUESS I'LL JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO... I'VE GOT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT THAN THIS ELECTION, ANYWAY." An announcement calls, "NOW THEN, WE'LL BE HEARING FROM THE SECOND PLACE CANDIDATE NEXT, MR. LEORIO! PLEASE COME FORWARD!" Leorio responds politely, "UMMM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" while motion lines and SFX fill the hall. In a close confrontation, someone shouts, "TO LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY!" Pariston firmly replies, "I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE" as another voice asks, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SMIRK, PARISTON?"

In a formal hall, Leorio stands with arms crossed beside a woman wearing bunny ears and a curly wig. She holds a microphone and calls out urgently. "MR. LEO-RIOOOOO!" "PLEASE, STEP FORWARD!" "UMMM? MR. LEO-RIOOO?" Leorio's eyes widen in surprise as he realizes it is his turn. "UHH, IT'S MY TURN?!" he exclaims. The woman turns sharply toward him, shouting, "LEORIO!!! WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU, ARE YOU ASLEEP OR SOMETHING?!" Leorio clutches his chest in shock. Below on the wide stage, several figures stand near a podium while the audience watches from the darkened seats. Someone repeats the call, "PLEASE, MR. LEORIO, STEP FORWARD!" Another voice adds, "UMMMM... PLEASE EXCUSE THAT JUST NOW!" Sound effects echo across the floor as the crowd murmurs.

Leorio stands at the top of a wide staircase with his back to the viewer, facing a massive crowd that fills the entire hall. His inner thoughts race: "WHAT AM I DOING HERE...?!" A close-up shows his face in profile, sweat visible, glasses slightly askew. He thinks, "DAMMIT, I HAVEN'T STRAIGHTENED THINGS OUT IN MY HEAD YET..." The enormous audience stares up at him in silence. Leorio mutters to himself, "AH WELL. WHATEVER. I'LL JUST TALK." His hands remain clenched at his sides as he prepares to address the crowd. The scale of the gathering emphasizes the pressure of the moment.

A fierce close-up shows Ging Freecss glaring with intense eyes behind his glasses, mouth open in a shout. "IF I BECOME CHAIRMAN," he declares, "I'M GOING TO MAKE THE ORGANIZATION... MY PRIVATE PROPERTY!!" In a separate panel, Ging stands at a podium under bright stage lights and continues more calmly, "UMMM... I'M JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT I WANT HERE." Below, a wide view captures the packed audience of Hunters and supporters, many wearing distinctive hats, headbands, and robes, all watching intently. Four close-up reaction shots follow: a man in a cap with closed eyes, a stern man in a hat and goggles, a worried girl with round glasses and a headband, and a serious young man with light hair.

A towering building with a large diamond-shaped emblem dominates the panel as Ging's voice continues, "WILL BE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY IN ORDER TO SAVE GON!!!" and "AND MY FIRST ORDER TO YOU ALL." Ging stands alone in a suit, facing forward. The crowd reacts with shocked and concerned expressions. Ging admits, "IT'S NOT LIKE I COULD DO ANYTHING FOR GON EVEN IF I WENT TO HIS SIDE RIGHT NOW... I MEAN..." A silhouette of Ging at the podium appears amid more audience shots. He adds, "YOU KNOW... I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW." In the final panel, Ging's silhouette is seen from behind with the words, "HE'S ON HIS DEATHBED... HE... RIGHT NOW, GON..."

Ging Freecss

A close-up shows a face drenched in sweat, eyes wide with realization. Internal thoughts spill out: "IT WASN'T UNTIL RECENTLY THAT I KNEW THAT...!!!" and "HE'S MY ALLY...MY FRIEND...BUT..." Below, scattered panels flash through chaotic memories. One figure is shown in a messy room with the caption "JACKING OFF, BRINGING GIRLS INTO MY APARTMENT, SCREWING AROUND ON THE INTERNET..." Another panel depicts a bearded man surrounded by people with the text "STUDYING... DRINKING... CHANGING ROOMS... WHILE I...WAS DOING NOTHING BUT WORKING FOR MYSELF..." The scene erupts into violent action as debris flies and figures clash. A spiky-haired boy stands in the foreground, fist clenched, with the words "FOR SOMEONE...!!!" and "HE WAS FIGHTING" dominating the panel. The final wide shot reveals a city skyline and a hospital marked with a cross, accompanied by the declaration "AND HIS ALLIES! WITH THE EX-CHAIRMAN."

Killua and Alluka sit together in a dim room. Killua speaks with a serious expression: "IS STILL FIGHTING, RISKING HIS LIFE TO SAVE GON." Alluka responds softly with "MMMM..." and adds "AND RIGHT NOW...ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE." The scene shifts to morning. Killua asks "DID YOU SLEEP WELL?" Alluka replies "GOOD MORNING, BROTHER!" with a cheerful face, then suddenly startles with "AHHH!" They continue their conversation as Killua states "THE HOSPITAL." Alluka asks "WHERE ARE WE?" Killua answers "SICK IN BED." In the final panel Killua turns with a bright smile and declares "MY FRIEND'S HERE."

KilluaAlluka

Alluka stares forward with wide eyes and a worried expression, asking, "SO I HAVE TO TURN INTO 'IT' AGAIN?" A close-up shows Killua's intense profile as he thinks, "I WANT TO...MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER AGAIN." In a flashback panel, Killua stands with his back partly turned while Alluka clings to him, shouting "NOO-OOO!" as Killua declares, "I WANT YOU HERE WITH YOU!" with a loud "PFFFF!" effect. Killua then faces forward with a gentle, determined look and promises, "I PROMISE. DON'T WORRY...DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU? FROM HERE ON, WE'LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER." The scene shifts to a dark, rainy night where a tall suited man stands prominently in the foreground, saying "SO PLEASE." Killua and Alluka sit together on a bench in the distance, while a lone silhouette watches from the far right.

A woman with long dark hair holds a phone and says, "OK, ROGER!" while thinking, "OR BECAUSE IT'S AFTER HE ASKED HER TO HEAL SOMEONE? I NEED TO FIND OUT. IS THIS BECAUSE IT IS KILLUA?" A city skyline panel shows a lone figure standing on a rooftop with the text "I KNEW IT..." and narration stating "THE RULES DON'T APPLY TO KILLUA AND KILLUA ALONE." Close-up panels focus on intense eyes and a grinning mouth, with text noting "EITHER WAY, ALLUKA'S ABILITY TO BOTH DESTROY AND FIX THINGS COULD BECOME AN UNBELIEVABLY STRONG TOOL IF TAMED." A blood-splattered panel and a monocle close-up accompany the lines "HIS EVIL AMBITIONS HAVE EVEN CAUSED HIM TO STRAY FROM THE PATH OF AN ASSASSIN... SO SINISTER SO CRUEL..." Killua and Alluka appear again, with Killua looking at her as narration reads, "THAT IN THIS SITUATION, A LIFE BEING CONTROLLED WOULD BRING LESS PAIN..." Alluka's face shows a blank expression while text states, "IT'S SO TRAGIC..."

Killua stares forward with a fierce, determined expression, his spiky hair framing his face. A large narration box beside him reads: "THE BEST THING... WOULD BE TO MAKE THIS WISH THE LAST, AND TO NEVER ASK 'IT' FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN." Killua and Alluka stand side by side holding hands in front of a massive draped curtain. Multiple narration boxes explain the rules of Alluka's power: "DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME WHEN SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN ASKED TO GRANT A WISH FOR 'IT' MOVES AWAY FROM 'IT' AND THE WISH IS CANCELED," "AND DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME AFTER 'IT' HAS HEALED SOMETHING AND SOMEONE'S ASKED ALLUKA TO DO SOMETHING, AND ALLUKA HAS," "AFTER ONE OF 'IT'S' WISHES DOESN'T COME TRUE, AND PEOPLE DIE, DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL 'IT' ASKS SOMEONE ELSE FOR A LEVEL 1 WISH," and "ALLUKA ONLY AWAKENS WHEN 'IT' IS ASLEEP. ALLUKA'S TIME HERE IS BOTH LONG, AND SHORT."

In a vast auditorium packed with people, a lone figure stands at a podium on stage. Speech bubbles erupt from the crowd: "JUST USE YOUR HEADS!!", "HELP GON!!", "PLEASE!!", and "AND WHEN YOU THINK OF SOMETHING, DO IT!!" A vertical panel shows many faces of the audience. On the right, a close-up of a stern man with glasses and a facial scar declares: "THAT'S WHY...IF I BECOME CHAIRMAN, I COULD DO NOTHING...BUT CALL OUT TO GON..." and "NOTHING BUT CALL OUT TO HIM, OVER AND OVER AGAIN...!!" Below, the same man appears in a dramatic close-up with radiating speed lines, shouting: "I'LL DO ANYTHING !!!!" and "IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO, TELL ME!!" Additional bubbles read: "I'M GOING TO KEEP CALLING OUT TO YOU ALL!!"

A man in a suit leans forward with an intense expression, declaring that this guy might just be able to do it. Another panel shows the same man recalling the exact moment he realized the truth: why the opponent did not dodge that punch. The thought solidifies as the man concludes now he knows. On the right, Ging's sharp profile appears against a dark background. In the next panel the suited man bends over, shouting to forget the jacking off part and end the discussion. He curses that he should not have said that much. A supporting voice states that as long as they support him it is fine, and concludes he can become the chairman. Below, a large crowd holds up signs reading 10 while a stern man with sunglasses stares forward with wide eyes. The background is filled with more 10 signs and cheering faces.

Massive applause fills the page with the repeated word CLAP surrounding a standing silhouette of Ging. Overlapping text reads BE A GOOD ONE...!!! and HE'LL SURELY. The standing figure of Ging remains centered amid the clapping. In close-up the sunglasses man claps with a strained, open-mouthed expression. Beside him another man in a cap also claps while looking sideways. At the bottom a blond young man with a neutral expression claps slowly, a small speech bubble showing only dots. The entire background continues to be filled with the word CLAP.

In the election hall, a stern voice declares to the man in the pinstripe suit, "YOU'RE FINISHED, PARISTON. NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY HERE." Pariston stands calmly at the center with a radiant sun-like aura behind his head. An announcement rings out: "NOW THEN, WE'LL HEAR FROM THE CANDIDATE WHO WAS 1ST LAST ROUND, MR. PARISTON!" The crowd erupts with cheers and signs. Nearby, officials tally the votes: "MY 87 VOTES, MIZAI'S 72 VOTES, AND THE 57 FLUCTUATING VOTES. THEY'LL ALL MERGE WITH LEORIO'S 95 VOTES..." The excited audience shouts, "EVERYONE, PLEASE, BE SILENT AND LISTEN!!" The final count is revealed as the crowd reacts in shock and joy: "THAT'S OVER 50%!!!" "THAT MAKES A TOTAL OF 311...!!!" A massive double-page spread announces the result in bold lettering: "WILL BE LEORIO...! THE 13TH CHAIRMAN."

A heavily bandaged figure lies restrained on a medical bed, covered in wires and tubes. Thought bubbles express desperate wishes: "RETURN GON..." "BACK TO NORMAL...!" "IT." The scene shifts to a close-up of Alluka, wearing a headband with smiling faces and large circular earrings with sad-face designs. She smiles gently and replies, "'KAY." Narration states, "THE TIME ...FINALLY COMES...!!!" The page ends with the Hunter × Hunter logo and chapter number 332.
