Key facts in this chapter
An explosion has occurred at the base of a tall building. Multiple men in suits are reacting to the event. A connection to the Godfathers has been established. Some characters decide to investigate personally rather than wait.
A direct communication link has been established with another group. Characters reference a prediction advising against the basement stairs. The group debates moving to the auction room versus the 10th floor. A girl's predictions are considered highly reliable by the speakers. The auction hall is shown filled with a large audience.
The auction proceeds after an earlier disruption. The Genei Ryodan boss has been reported eliminated. A large audience is gathered in the hall listening to the announcement.
Godfathers are attending the auction in person. The remaining Ryodan members are being handled by professionals. The auction is being held at night in a large building near water.
The mustached man has visible facial scars and a mustache. Multiple GO sound effects are rendered in large stylized lettering. Insects are shown in two small panels with the label pic. 9.
The standing figure has long dark hair and wears a dark outfit with white collar and studded details. A pentagram-marked device is held in one panel. The banner text N°100 3 SEPTEMBRE 16 is prominently displayed.
The transmitter belongs to the Zoldyck family. Beeping sounds are emitted by the device. The scene takes place inside a damaged building interior.
A massive explosion rips through the lower levels of a towering skyscraper, sending chunks of concrete and debris flying outward amid heavy smoke and dust. Large onomatopoeia "Go Go Go Go" and "ズゴゴゴ" mark the violent shaking and collapse of structures, followed by a thunderous "BRRRRRA" sound effect. In the foreground, a mustached man in a dark suit stares upward with sweat on his face and shouts, "AT THE BOTTOM! THERE'S BEEN A HUGE EXPLOSION!!" Nearby suited men react with alarm, one asking "WHAT HAPPENED?" In the next tier of panels, a man with a ponytail urgently reports, "WE'VE JUST GOT A CONNECTION WITH THE GOD-FATHERS!!" while another suited figure commands "STAY CALM!!" A small figure dashes forward amid motion lines, declaring "WE'RE GOING TO CHECK IT OUT FOR OURSELVES!" as others yell "WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER! GET OUT THE WAY!!" The mustached man appears again in close-up with a tense expression. The page footer reads "№100-3・SEPTEMBER・16".

A man with a long ponytail gestures emphatically while declaring, "IT'S A DIRECT LINK! WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THEM!" and adds, "YOU MAY GO TO THE AUCTION ROOM!!" In the next panel a stern man with slicked-back hair counters, "THE PREDICTION SAID TO NOT TAKE STAIRS THAT DON'T GO UP, SO DON'T GO TO THE BASEMENT!" while others discuss moving to the 10th floor and express worry. Additional voices debate respecting a girl's predictions, noting they are reliable but not 100% certain, and one figure warns against unnecessary risk. The scene shifts to a vast, empty auction hall with tiered seating filled by a dense crowd. Large SFX "ZAWA A" and smaller Japanese characters ripple across the space, conveying a tense, murmuring atmosphere as two small figures stand near the distant stage under dramatic ceiling arches.

A large screen flickers with static as a voice announces the evening's proceedings. "WE HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN THE LINK." The image on the screen stabilizes into a stern face. "GOOD EVENING... HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING?" In the grand auction hall, the same face appears on the massive display while the audience watches in silence. A sharp "Shhh" cuts through the room. The camera focuses on a bald man with a thick mustache standing before the crowd. "THE BOSS OF THE GENEI RYODAN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!" he declares. "WE WERE PLUNGED INTO CHAOS, BUT NOW... EVERYTHING HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL."

The crowd erupts in cheers. "OOOH!!" Professionals are handling the remaining Ryodan members, assuring everyone the situation is under control. "CONCERNING THE REST OF THE RYODAN, IT'S A MATTER OF TIME..." A screen shows the bustling auction floor as voices urge the audience to enjoy the night. "JUST FOR TONIGHT, THE GODFATHERS WILL ASSIST AT THE AUCTION!" A man with a ponytail raises his hand and addresses the room. "THE GODFATHERS WILL ASSIST IN PERSON AT THE AUCTION! GENTLEMEN! YOU HEARD IT WITH YOUR OWN EARS!" The assembly is encouraged to make the auction a success. The scene shifts to a nighttime view of the grand building and a boat on dark waters marked "Brrrr".

A close-up shows the left profile of a mustached man with a scarred face and intense eyes as large black Japanese characters spelling GO overlay his forehead and cheek. Small panels depict flying insects labeled pic. 9 against a bright flash, followed by a right-side panel of the same man facing forward with a speech bubble reading B NNNN above a glowing impact point. The lower half of the page presents a larger profile view of the man, now with multiple metallic pins embedded in the side of his head, surrounded by repeated bold GO sound effects in varying sizes. A small inset panel at the bottom shows a dark silhouette of a long-haired figure standing against a white background while the surrounding GO effects continue to dominate the composition.
A full-body figure of a person with long dark hair stands centered against a black background filled with glowing white orbs and radiating light lines emanating from their head. The figure wears a sleeveless dark outfit with white accents, studded shoulder pads, and leg wraps. To the right, a large close-up of the same person's face shows wide eyes and flowing hair. A banner across the lower portion reads N°100 3 SEPTEMBRE 16. Below the banner, a small panel shows a hand holding a circular device marked with a pentagram symbol while the word SHUU SHUU appears above it. An adjacent panel depicts the long-haired figure looking downward with a small Bip sound effect near their hand.

In the ruined hall, thick smoke billows across the grand staircase as ominous GOGO GO GO sound effects echo through the space. Repeated Bip Bip Bip signals pulse from a small device. A long-haired man stands amid the haze, his expression tense. The view shifts to a close-up of a hand gripping a round transmitter marked with a six-pointed star. WHEN IT RINGS ... the caption reads. The device is identified as the CHARACTERISTIC TRANSMITTER OF THE ZOLDYCKS. In a smaller panel the same long-haired man stands alone in the swirling smoke, the beeping device floating nearby.

A massive explosion tears through the building, shattering walls and sending debris flying in all directions. BRRRRR and large stylized Japanese SFX dominate the upper left. A figure stands small amid the rubble as the narration declares A MURDER CONTRACT HAS BEEN HONORED...!! In the lower panels a close-up shows the long-haired man holding a phone to his ear. He says YES, YES. YES, IS MY CLIENT THERE? Another voice asks ILLUMI? A small tak sound effect appears near the rubble.

A massive explosion erupts with the sound effect BADAM and sharp Japanese SFX, sending debris flying as a tiny figure tumbles and cries out 'outch !!!'. In the next panel a rugged man with wild spiky hair and a black tank top marked 'F' heaves an enormous slab of rock overhead, while Killua sits nearby amid the rubble, watching intently. A close-up shows Killua, now wearing a headband, staring forward with wide eyes and a tense expression. The scene shifts to a close-up of a long-haired woman whose face fills the frame; she rests her chin on her fist and wonders 'IS HE STILL ALIVE?' while another bubble reads 'YOU WERE FIGHTING?'. The final panel reveals a nighttime view of an ornate building under the stars. Two speech bubbles appear: 'PASS THIS ON TO HIM FOR ME...' and 'HE VERY NEARLY DIED? HA! SO MUCH THE BETTER!'

Against a black background, a tall woman with long dark hair stands with her fist raised beside three men whose heads are covered in acupuncture needles; one of them declares 'GODFATHERS ELIMINATED.' Below, in a bright lobby, a young girl in a floral kimono faces a small bald man in a jacket while another tiny figure with pins in his head emerges from the floor. The girl states 'I'M WAITING FOR THE BANK TRANSFER, AS AGREED.' A large stylized eye symbol sits between the dialogue and the small man.

Zeno Zoldyck stands with a smirk, cigarette in mouth, declaring, "BOTH OF US JUST ESCAPED DEATH." In the crater below, a figure rises amid rubble as another voice chuckles, "IT WAS REALLY CLOSE... HEHE..." Kurapika, headband tight and eyes narrowed, asks, "YOU SURE YOU WANT TO END IT?" Zeno leans in close, stating firmly, "YOU'RE NO LONGER OUR TARGET. OUR CLIENTS WERE THE GODFATHERS. THEY'RE DEAD. UNDER THESE CONDITIONS..." The spiky-haired man in the black vest replies, "FOR ME, EVEN IF IT'S WORK, I'LL AVOID DEATH AT ANY COST." The man in the white shirt adds, "WE DON'T DO THIS FOR PLEASURE." Zeno continues, "IT SEEMS YOU MISUNDERSTAND US. OH? THAT'S SURPRISING. YOU WON'T GET THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TWICE." Kurapika responds, "YES? MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING?"

Zeno Zoldyck answers, "ME, OF COURSE," while Kurapika stares back with a slight smile. Zeno continues, "ONE ON ONE, WHO WOULD HAVE WON?" Kurapika replies, "PFF..." Zeno turns away, saying, "YOU REALLY THOUGHT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND YOUR GAME...? IF YOU HAD DECIDED TO FIGHT WITH ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH, IT WOULD BE ANOTHER STORY..." Kurapika watches silently. In the distance, two figures walk across cloudy terrain as one remarks, "SO YOU WEREN'T FOOLED." The scene shifts to a vast hall filled with smoke and floating doors, where Kurapika stands with his back to the viewer and exhales, "PFF!"

A vast ruined floor is strewn with shattered tiles and rubble. A man lies spread-eagle amid the debris, shouting in frustration. "I DIDN'T GET WHAT I WANTED." "AH! DAMN!" A small "Dam" sound effect punctuates his outburst. Below, the nighttime cityscape shows a sprawling hospital complex with illuminated windows and surrounding buildings. Inside a hospital room, Killua stands on the left, phone pressed to his ear. "OK, WE'LL WAIT FOR YOU AT THE HOSPITAL?" he says. "YEAH, IT'S MORE DANGEROUS HERE THAN I HAD THOUGHT." In the center, an injured girl lies in bed under white sheets while doctors and nurses attend to her. One doctor reports, "HER CONDITION HAS STABILIZED."

Hospital staff discuss security around the injured girl. A man with a mustache worries about an attack on the ambulance, while others debate moving her. "IF THEY HAD WANTED TO ATTACK THE AMBULANCE, THEY WOULD HAVE DONE SO WHEN IT ARRIVED." "BUT THERE'S NO DANGER FROM THAT SIDE, NOW." "ARE YOU SURE THERE'S NO RISK ON THE WAY THERE?" "BUT SHE WOULD BE MORE SECURE IN THE HOSPITAL THAN HERE." "SHE'S FAINTED, THAT'S ALL, NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT." An ambulance waits outside at night. A voice commands, "DON'T TOUCH THE AMBULANCE." The vehicle speeds away with "Vrrrrr" sound effects. A dark-haired young man with visible injuries stands in a ruined corridor holding a phone. "IT'S ME." "THE PLAN HASN'T CHANGED." Pinball-like "PIN PON" and "Bip" sounds echo around him.

The auction hall erupts with energy as the tuxedo-clad announcer grips the microphone and shouts, 'LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE!' and 'WE'RE FINALLY OPENING THE AUCTION!' amid bold 'OUAIS' sound effects and radiating motion lines. In the next panel a long-haired man in a suit exhales with relief, stating 'NONE OF OUR BOSSES HAVE BEEN INJURED. I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY WE DID OUR JOB WELL.' while another voice adds 'I WAS IN A COLD SWEAT, BUT NOW EVERYTHING'S BACK IN ORDER.' A suited figure strides down a dim corridor as the announcer continues 'WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE'S THE FIRST ITEM...' A hand flicks a lighter with a bright 'Flash' while a cigarette-smoking man mutters 'AH..' and replies 'THANKS.' In the final close-up a man with an earring and a single tear on his cheek stares intensely beside the cigarette smoker, who reacts with a sharp '!!?'

In a pitch-black cavern two figures stand illuminated by a narrow shaft of light. A tall fighter with a headband and wrapped limbs stands with hands on hips while a crouching spiky-haired youth points downward with a fierce glare. The scene shifts to the brightly lit auction stage where a woman in a black dress presents a gleaming sword on a stand as the crowd gasps 'おおおおOH'. The tuxedo announcer excitedly declares 'HERE'S THE NEXT ITEM!! A SOLID GOLD SWORD FROM THE MUSEUM OF NATIONAL TREASURES OF YUUL!!' Bidders immediately respond with rapid 'Bip Bip' sounds and calls of '20 MILLION FROM THE LEFT!!' and '40 MILLION!'
The auctioneer gestures dramatically toward a large blue jar displayed on the wall. "PERFECTLY SHAPED, THIS IS THE LAST REMAINING ONE!" he declares. "LET'S FOLLOW WITH THE BLUE JAR OF AMBITION, MADE DURING THE RAI DYNASTY!!" A long-haired figure in a white robe approaches the jar, examines it closely, and requests, "THE BLUE JAR... THAT'S IT. A COPY, PLEASE." The figure then lifts the jar with both hands as a massive impact effect erupts around them. Bold text proclaims "GALLERY FAKE, THE LEFT HAND OF GOD, THE RIGHT HAND OF THE DEVIL!!" The jar is shown in close detail amid the dramatic visual burst. Bidding erupts immediately with shouts of "330!!!" "200!!!" "380!!!" The auctioneer points excitedly and announces, "STARTING PRICE: 100 MILLION!!!"

In a grand hallway, a suited man reports, "YEAH, I WAS TOLD THAT THE LEADER OF THE RYODAN WAS KILLED." Another voice exclaims, "THE AUCTION HAS BEGUN?!" Nearby, Killua stands with several armed men in black suits. One man states, "THE ZOLDICKS CLEANED UP." Another adds, "TOO TRUE! WHILE INCOMPETENT GUYS LIKE YOU WERE FUSSING AROUND THE AMBULANCE..." Killua replies quietly, "NO..." A suited man notes, "AND NOW THEY'RE HUNTING DOWN THE REST OF THE RYODAN. PROS ARE REALLY SOMETHING." A bald man with a mustache and sunglasses turns to Killua and says, "GO BACK TO YOUR PREDICTION GIRL. IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE." He continues firmly, "UNLESS YOU'D RATHER STAY HERE WITH THE REAL PROFESSIONALS TO PROVE THAT YOU'RE A LOSER! GO TO THE HOSPITAL OR HOTEL!" Killua reacts with visible tension.

Killua stares intensely from the left side of the large upper panel as a massive impact erupts in the center. A bald man in a dark suit is struck with tremendous force, his head and body surrounded by a burst of black particles and radiating motion lines. The sound effect VLAN! dominates the right side. In the lower panel Killua stands in the foreground, his right arm extended forward with a clenched fist, eyes narrowed in determination. A small inset shows the same suited man tumbling backward through the air, still trailing particles. Killua declares, "NOT UNTIL I SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES!!" and "I WON'T BELIEVE IT!"

A powerful figure bursts through a jagged black-and-white frame, shattering the surrounding space. The man has spiky hair, a short beard, and wears a light uniform with leg wraps and a chest panel reading "ON SERVICE". His right fist is thrust forward while his left hand is open near his chest. Dramatic flame-like energy lines and smoke erupt around the broken frame. Large stylized sound effects read "ボオオオ VOOOO" at the lower left, conveying a roaring or explosive force.
