Determination

00
In the opulent hall marked 1014, a discussion about parasite-types fills the air. A voice notes, 'ARE THE FACT THAT THEIR MOVEMENTS CAN'T BE READ.' Another adds, 'ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TRAITS TO DEAL WITH OF PARASITE-TYPES...' Kurapika, with his distinctive spiky hair, gestures while explaining, 'THE PARASITE IS STILL ULTIMATELY BORN AND RAISED OUT OF THE MIXTURE OF ONE HUMAN'S THOUGHTS AND THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR HOST AS WELL... CREATED A TANGLED, COMPLEX LIFEFORM.' He continues, 'NOT TO MENTION THAT EVEN THOUGH THESE BEINGS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HUMAN FORM...' A background speaker elaborates, 'BECAUSE OF THAT, THE HOST'S CHARACTER AND WHAT THEY'RE THINKING OR FEELING END UP HEAVILY INFLUENCING THE PARASITE.' Another voice states, 'THERE ARE MANY PARASITE-TYPES THAT USE SOMEONE'S RESIDUAL THOUGHT ENERGY TO ATTACH TO A HOST, THEN BY BORROWING THAT HOST'S AURA THEY ARE SUMMONED.' Kurapika turns sharply, exclaiming, 'AFTER ALL THE PRINCES HAVE RETURNED FROM THE CEREMONY....!!' A woman responds, 'SO THEN THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS...' Another character asks, 'ARE YOU ALSO WONDERING IF THE PRINCE WOULD REALLY CHOOSE TO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS WAR, ACCORDING TO HIS PERSONALITY...?' A serious woman declares, 'FROM THE 1ST THE 5TH THE PRINCES, NONE OF THEM ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD WILLINGLY WITHDRAW FROM A SITUATION LIKE THIS...' She adds, 'BUT...' while a companion notes, 'OF COURSE THERE ARE MANY OF THE PRINCES WHOSE PERSONALITIES WOULD RATHER AVOID A WAR...' The Hunter × Hunter logo and chapter title appear at the bottom.

A close-up portrait shows a young man with sharp features, dark spiky hair flowing dramatically, and a distinctive purple cross-like symbol marked on his forehead. He wears a white high-collared garment with purple accents and a teal earring. His expression is serious and intense as he gazes slightly to the side against a dark background.

In a luxurious hall filled with formally dressed guests, two characters discuss an alliance. One asks, 'How about forming an alliance? Between you and me?' Nearby, a man with glasses states it is a clear-cut point to make. Another with long hair agrees it is straightforward. A detailed explanation follows about the younger princes from Kacho the 10th downward having no real power, making the contest a survival match among the top five. A man holding a wine glass calls the top three arrogant and far too ugly. Other guests react with expressions of greed and judgment while holding drinks.

A stern man with glasses glares forward, his face tense with fury. "BE PURGED. THEY SHOULD ALL..." he declares. Below, a tipped wine glass rests beside two small panels. A bearded man in a tuxedo holds a glass and states, "WE ARE QUITE IN AGREEMENT. IN THAT REGARD..." A light-haired man in a suit responds nearby. In a wider view, the bearded man stands among silhouetted figures and affirms, "RIGHT." The light-haired man smiles slightly and replies, "WELL THEN, I'LL SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY." In the foreground, the bearded man's profile looms as he watches a formal gathering of people in elegant attire. Sound effects rumble across the scene. The light-haired man turns with a cold expression, adding, "IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE BY THEN... THAT IS..."

A massive spiky creature with bulging eyes and armored plates fills the upper panel, its mouth open. A man in a formal suit stands with his back turned, raising one hand in a wave. A small sign near the creature reads "CROAK..." In the lower panel, a tall light-haired man in a tuxedo stands with one hand on his hip, holding a small card. Beside him looms a muscular unicorn-like creature with a flowing mane, clawed hands, and high-heeled boots. A sign near it reads "SNORT..."

A large imposing bald man with a thick mustache and curly sideburns fills the top panel against a black background, his eyes half-closed as he speaks. Text boxes detail the rules: "(1) SPIRIT BEASTS MAY NOT KILL ONE ANOTHER. (2) SPIRIT BEASTS MAY NOT DIRECTLY ATTACK A HUMAN WHOM ANOTHER SPIRIT BEAST IS PROTECTING." He adds, "THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT BEASTS BORN FROM THE POT ALL ARE IMBUED WITH THE SAME RULE-LIKE INSTINCTS, HUI..." Below, three panels show historical maps and crests. One reads, "HE HAD HIS CHILDREN WHO WERE DEEMED WORTHY OF HIS COUNTRY FIGHT FOR THE UNIFICATION OF THE EMPIRE, AND THIS IS WHAT BUILT IT UP. ITS PRESENT DAY FOUNDATION, HUI!!" Another states, "THE ERA OF WARRING CHIEFS!!! MY ANCESTOR, WHO WAS THE LEADER OF A SMALL COUNTRY WHICH WAS LIABLE TO BE ASSIMILATED BY THE COUNTRIES AROUND IT CREATED THE POT." A third continues, "THE SAME IS TRUE FOR HUMANS! IN POLITICAL AND MILITARY STRATEGIES, INDIRECT ACTIONS ARE ESSENTIAL!!! THOSE THAT ARE UNABLE TO FIND AND ACT UPON THE WEAKNESSES OF THEIR OPPONENTS ARE SIMPLY MEDIOCRE AT BEST. HUI!!" and "THESE ARE SELF-CONTROLLING INSTINCTS NEEDED OF GUARD THE FUTURE KING!!! BEASTS WITH NOTHING BUT CLAWS AND FANGS WILL SOON BE DESTROYED. HUI!!" The bottom splash depicts a massive ark cutting through stormy seas with a black circle above it. Text declares, "ON THIS ARK WHICH HAS BEEN LOADED WITH 200,000 OFFERINGS, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CUT THROUGH TO THEIR HEARTS' CONTENT! FOR THE SPIRIT BEASTS WHOM EXCEL IN PROVIDING BACK-END SUPPORT TO ATTACH THEMSELVES TO A KING WHO OVERFLOWS WITH THE ABILITY OF FORESIGHT AND CAREFUL, DEEP PLANNING... THAT IS THE MAGNIFICENT DESTINY OF THE HUI GUO ROU FAMILY!"

A massive ornate wheel with eight spokes, crosses at the cardinal points, and a central face with closed eyes and a plus-minus mouth floats against a white background ringed by black flame-like energy. To the right stands a bald man with three forehead dots, a thin mustache, and a formal vest, holding a stemmed glass of dark liquid with a neutral expression. Below, a woman with long flowing hair adorned with an elaborate headpiece sits beside a massive tree whose branches bear dozens of round fruits. The tree's roots twist into the ground while smoke or energy swirls around the base. The woman wears a detailed dress with puffed sleeves and a high collar, her posture relaxed as she gazes forward with a slight smile.

A close-up reveals a man's intense, determined face overlaid with bold vertical text reading "UNTIL ONE BLESSED CHOSEN ONE REMAINS...!!" The right side shows a towering armored figure with a grotesque helmet that has a wide mouth of sharp teeth and glowing accents, its massive clawed hands gripping the shoulders of a suited man with spiky hair and a stern expression.

In a grand hallway, a suited man with glasses stands with a woman in a dark outfit as speech bubbles discuss taboos: "CAN'T SEE" also carries a nuance implying that there's something that the prince can't do, so it's also out!" "FOR EXAMPLE, 'ORDINARY' IS THE ONE WORD THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT SAY TO THE PRINCE." "THAT'S FULL OF TABOO WORDS." "THERE ARE PHANTOM BEASTS CRAWLING ALL ABOUT THAT ORDINARY HUMANS CAN'T SEE, SO DON'T LEAVE YOUR ROOM." "HOW WILL YOU EXPLAIN THIS TO TSERRI-EDNICH?" "SAYING 'DON'T LEAVE YOUR ROOM' IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS SAYING 'GET OUT!'" "BESIDES, 'PHANTOM BEAST' IS LIABLE TO DRIVE THE PRINCE'S CURIOSITY THROUGH THE ROOF..." The suited man replies "I'LL JUST LEAVE IT TO YOU." and "...I CAN'T DO THIS." A close-up shows the spiky-haired suited man asking "SO CAN'T YOU JUST TELL HIM THAT THEY'RE POWERS YOU HAVE TO BE BORN WITH?" A light-haired woman responds about Nen users in the private army and the risk of the prince wanting Nen abilities. The suited man reacts with "WHAT?" while pointing, warning they can't inform the princes about the "PARASITE-TYPE NEN BEAST" on the emergency channel. The woman adds "NO MATTER HOW DUMB I AM, EVEN I CAN TELL WHEN I'M BEING MADE FUN OF!" as the suited man exclaims "HEY!" and another voice says "MAN, IT MUST BE GOOD TO BE YOU..."

The group debates the risks of the prince acquiring Nen. One character warns that if they are not extremely careful with their lies, the prince will figure it out and it will be too late to fix it. Another notes that to Prince Tserriednich it will seem like a complete unknown power, so he will surely use all his strength and ability to gather information. A third voice asks if they actually think all the princes' bodyguards are going to come up with the same convenient explanation that matches theirs, while another suggests they can just say it's a special kind of beast that was born with Nen powers. The spiky-haired man grows angry, complaining they are still talking about this instead of what they were before, and that thanks to moronic interruptions everything got derailed. He questions what they are getting so mad for. The discussion turns to the danger that the prince won't stop until he gets Nen power for himself. A character concludes that the prince will retire. The slicked-back haired man asks if they would gather all the bodyguards together for now. Another replies that since their only choice seems to be to simply diminish his Nen capacity, and if the prince acquiring Nen is inevitable, then they could have him train in his exact opposing Nen type or learn some completely useless ability.

The conversation continues with a man explaining that not only can they lower the effectiveness of the prince's training by a substantial amount, but they will also be buying time. He notes his example was extreme but he is sure they will be able to make something work out. A woman with a headband states it is already time. The spiky-haired man insists he can tell they do not think this is the best option. The woman with headband replies that on this boat she is the only person capable of doing that. Another character offers to guide and teach the prince, saying even a little change might direct him better. The spiky-haired man asks if she thinks he would be capable of doing it, and she answers well, seriously. A small figure says that is not fair. From above, someone shouts shut up, while another remarks that the spiky-haired man actually sounded sincere for a minute. A voice sighs that it really must be good to be her.

In a long ornate hallway, two suited men stand apart. An unseen narrator warns that an evil mind will create evil Nen. One man speaks into a phone: "Yes, sir. Understood." He adds, "But..." A close-up reveals a stern woman wearing an earpiece, her thoughts racing. She considers that if Prince Tserriednich were to gain Nen abilities that way, the thought alone gives her goosebumps. If another prince learns Nen first and attacks Tserriednich with that power, then Tserriednich's own power would awaken. A low growl echoes as SFX: GROWL. A faceless silhouette looms over a woman with a high ponytail. Another woman with light hair warns her, "Don't look Theta...!" The ponytail woman stares forward and declares, "Is me...!" In the hallway, the suited man walks away while the earpiece woman follows, thinking, "The only one that can stop him..." Suddenly a pair of wide, shocked eyes fill the frame as someone shouts, "Theta!!!"

A massive guardian beast with wings and sharp teeth looms over a man in a suit who sits cross-legged. The suited man speaks: "I see. There is a guardian beast behind my back, and although he is my ally... I'm unable to directly command him..." In a smaller panel, a sharp-eyed man with slicked hair says, "Just like I originally planned, I'll go for Tubeppa first... Then I ain't interested." Three suited men stand together; one confirms, "Yes. As a rough estimate, to be able to 'see' would take almost an entire year..." Another asks about the time needed to acquire the Nen power. The sharp-eyed man continues, "If any other Nen beasts appear, I want you to report all their actions and movements to me." His subordinates reply in unison, "Yes, sir!!!" A woman with her hair in a bun holds a pen and warns, "But if the princes and their soldiers above me don't have any knowledge or information about Nen, then I suddenly find myself standing at the very top. With strange powers entering the fray, things may reach a stalemate..."

A group of suited men and women gather closely around a smiling central figure wearing an ornate headpiece, all clasping hands in a circle. Speech bubbles float above them discussing the oath ceremony and its effects on the princes' Nen beasts. One man wonders aloud if his own Nen beast would resemble an angel. Another voice states that if the oath ceremony caused this, then all other princes must have Nen beasts attached as well. In smaller panels, close-up faces react with surprise and excitement; a woman with short hair exclaims that fairies are so much more 'me' than expected. A dark-haired man with a scar on his cheek mutters 'Well...' while glancing aside. Below, a cheerful woman with a small device on her finger declares that her fairies are filling the entire ship with love. The central group reacts with varied expressions, some blushing or looking flustered as small fairy-like silhouettes flutter around them.

Women in revealing outfits dance energetically with arms raised amid shattered picture frames and debris. A large man with styled hair shouts loudly for everyone to party their brains out. A woman at a sound system laughs 'Hya haha haha ha!!!' while adjusting her hair. The scene erupts into chaos as a massive, grotesque creature with a gaping mouth materializes above a disheveled bed, surrounded by floating particles and smoke. A suited man stands frozen nearby while the large man continues yelling profanities about the succession war. Women continue dancing around the monstrous form, one raising her fist triumphantly. The room is littered with cans, food, and broken furniture as the creature looms and roars.

A light-haired man stares forward with wide eyes and an open mouth, sweat streaming down his face in visible droplets. His expression twists in shock as two jagged speech bubbles burst beside him reading "WHA..." and "WH...". The scene shifts to a chaotic floor where multiple men in dark suits lie sprawled and contorted across wooden planks. Several bodies are twisted at unnatural angles with limbs bent or broken; some faces show pain or unconsciousness. A large impact crater with radiating lines and debris erupts near the bottom left. One light-haired man in a suit runs toward the right edge of the frame, glancing back. Speech bubbles from the fallen men read "WHAT IS THIS ?!" and "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!".

An extreme close-up reveals a woman's face twisted in extreme distortion. Her left eye spirals inward with heavy shading while the right eye is wide and bloodshot with spiral patterns. The mouth hangs open with visible teeth and thick strands of saliva dripping downward. The neck is stretched and lined with tension marks, and long hair frames the sides of the image. The entire expression conveys overwhelming shock or an altered mental state.

A woman with a headband stares intently to the side with a serious expression. Beside her looms a massive, distorted face with bulging eyes and a long dripping tongue hanging out, growling loudly. The sound effect GRR RRR RRR erupts from the creature's mouth. In a wide lower panel, the creature's elongated tongue-like appendage stretches across the space, linking it to a group on the right that includes a spiky-haired man, suited figures, and a large imposing man struggling with the connection. On the left, the woman and a man in a suit stand facing the bizarre scene.

A light-haired man with a slight smile raises his hands and speaks about the emergency channel and the trump card making an appearance. Below, a close-up shows the Nen beast's open maw with sharp teeth and a small figure inside, accompanied by the sound KAAAH. Two suited men discuss whether anyone knows about Nen beasts. A close-up of the woman's eyes appears with the text WAS NAIVE... and I.... The scene returns to the woman facing the roaring Nen beast, its jaws wide with dripping saliva and the sound GRRRRRR as tendrils extend outward.

A close-up reveals a stern man with long, disheveled hair and a thin goatee, his hands raised to his head as he speaks with intense conviction. "HE IS THE ONE PERSON THAT ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO MASTER NEN!!!! OF ALL PEOPLE..." he declares. The scene shifts to a narrow vertical panel reading "PURE, UNBRIDLED EVIL!!" In the next row, a young man with a scar on his cheek appears in profile, responding to an off-panel question. "BY CHANCE, ARE YOU ABLE TO USE THIS POWER YOURSELF AS WELL?" he asks. Another character replies, "OH, AS EXPECTED OF MY LITTLE THETA. IT'S A WORD THAT HAS TO DO WITH A SPECIAL KIND OF ABILITY." A partial silhouette adds, "YES..." A black bar interrupts with the single word "I..." A speech bubble answers, "YES, SIR." The final panel shows a blonde woman in a dark suit and tie staring forward with wide, shocked eyes. "I CAN USE IT," she states. Beside her, a hand clutches a small object while a monstrous, fanged silhouette looms with the cry "HAVE NO CHOICE...!!" The page ends with the Hunter × Hunter logo and "CH. 362 END."
