Chapter 63 · It's Only Beginning

00AI-written

A decorative page bordered by black and white hearts frames a large title reading 'ANALYSIS OF DISTINCTION OF AURAS BY HISO-HISO'. Small winged cherub figures with spiky hair float near the top, one winking and sparkling while another looks surprised. Below the title, six lines of text categorize Nen types: 'REINFORCEMENT : PURE AND SIMPLE', 'MANIPULATION : REASONERS, ADVANCE AT THEIR OWN PACE', 'TRANSFORMATION : LIARS AND UNSTABLE', 'EMISSION : IMPATIENT, EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED', 'SPECIALISATION : INDIVIDUALISTIC AND CHARISMATIC', 'MATERIALISATION : NERVOUS'. At the bottom, a small cherub sits beside the note '*EVERYTHING WAS RANDOMLY DECIDED BY HISOKA'.

Hisoka delivers a powerful right punch that sends Gon crashing to the ground. Large onomatopoeia 'オオオオオ' and impact symbols explode across the upper panel as Hisoka stands triumphant with his arm extended. A speech bubble declares 'HISOKA STRUCK WITH A PERFECT RIGHT PUNCH!!' while another shouts 'GON IS ON THE GROUND!!'. In the foreground, a background figure watches from the arena stands. The lower panel cuts to a dramatic close-up of Gon lying on the floor, sweat flying, eyes wide with fierce determination, mouth open in a defiant expression. Motion lines and the sound effect 'ゴゴゴゴ' emphasize the tension. At the bottom, the chapter plate reads 'N°063' beside the bold declaration 'IT'S ONLY BEGINNING'.

Gon stares forward with wide eyes and sweat flying, a sticky strand of gum stretching from his cheek as he grits his teeth. A large narration bubble explains Hisoka’s ability: “HE HAS THE POWER OF TRANSFORMING HIS AURA INTO A SORT OF GUM TO FIX IT WHEREVER HE WANTS!!” Another panel shows Gon’s shocked close-up while the same voice continues, “TYING IT UP, OR UNTYING IT, IT’S HISOKA WHO DECIDES!!” In the lower left, a side view reveals Zushi standing with a tear on his cheek and a heart-shaped “STAND-UP” bubble beside him. The bottom panel erupts with the referee raising his arm and shouting, “3 MORE POINTS FOR HISOKA!!! 6-2!!! CRITICAL DOWN !!” as the crowd reacts to the decisive blow.

The crowd erupts with cheers as spectators yell “YOU CAN DO IT!!”, “STAND UP!”, and “HEY!! GO ON!” while Gon sits on the arena floor, visibly battered. Hisoka stands nearby with arms crossed, calmly stating, “OK… SHORT PROBLEM. IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY, I’LL LET YOU HIT ME ONCE.” A thought bubble reveals Hisoka’s question: “A) DURING THE ELBOW HIT, B) DURING THE CLEAN HIT, C) DURING THE CRITICAL HIT. WHEN DID I FIX THE PANSY GUM TO YOUR CHEEK?” Gon remains seated with a dazed expression, blood on his face, as the panel emphasizes the tense multiple-choice riddle.

Gon reels from a rapid series of strikes, eyes wide as he shouts "WHEN?!" and "WHEN...?!" while trying to track the blows. A large speech bubble declares "IT'S C!!" as the boy raises three fingers and protests, "WHEN YOU HIT ME WITH BOTH OF YOUR HANDS?!" Impact SFX "BOM" and "TAK" punctuate the flurry. In the next tier, Gon stands with arms spread, yelling "THAT'S CHEATING WA...!!" as a massive "TADAN" sound effect rumbles. A calm voice from the blond man with his back turned states, "IT WAS D THE ANSWER WAS 'DURING THE EXPLANATION ABOUT ANALYSIS OF AURAS.'" The man adds, "WRONG ANSWER." Hisoka, now facing forward with a star marking on his cheek, continues the lecture: "ANOTHER THING... A LITTLE EXPLANATION. IF YOU HAD USED GYO, IN CASE D, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN MY AURA, AND YOU COULD HAVE AVOIDED IT." Gon stares up in shock. Hisoka's fist clenches as he mutters, "DAMN... IF ONLY I HAD USED GYO SINCE THE BEGINNING..." and questions, "BUT WHAT ABOUT A, B, AND C?"

GonHisoka

Hisoka continues the explanation with a serious expression, a tear-like mark on his cheek: "GENERALLY, I FIX IT WHEN I HIT." He adds, "BUT I CAN USE MY HIDDEN AURA ONLY WHEN MY OPPONENT HAS HIS GUARD DOWN." Pointing a finger, he asks, "DURING THE ACTION, WHETHER THE AURA IS VISIBLE OR NOT DOESN'T MATTER, DOES IT?" In a separate panel Hisoka demonstrates, "I CAN FIX MY PANSY GUM DIRECTLY, EVEN WHILE FIGHTING. YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?" Gon leans forward intensely, realizing, "USING GYO TO SEE HIS HIDDEN AURA IS NO USE!" and thinks, "YES... I MUST AVOID HIS HITS..." A massive starburst panel warns, "YOU MUST AVOID ALL HIS HITS!!" and "TO AVOID HIS PANSY GUM..." In the final panel Gon stands among spectators, hands near his face, thinking, "IT BECOMES DIFFICULT... HE'S MORE LECHEROUS THAN I HAD THOUGHT!"

Gon stares forward with wide eyes, his nose comically extended as a small "..." floats nearby. In the next panel a bespectacled man with dark hair shouts to the crowd, "BECAUSE HE CAN FIX HIS AURA ON THIS DEFENSE!! YOU EVEN HAVE TO AVOID DEFENSE...!!!" Below, a spiky-haired fighter with a spade mark on his cheek wipes sweat from his face and says, "LET'S RESTART..." while another voice answers, "WELL... ENOUGH TALKING." The arena audience watches tensely. Suddenly the view shifts to a dramatic angle: Hisoka plummets through the air, arms outstretched, declaring "THE FIGHT..." with sharp "TAP TAP" sound effects trailing behind him. On the ground Gon looks up, sweat flying, eyes fierce. He clenches his teeth and yells, "SINCE I CAN'T RUN ... I'LL FACE YOU !!!"

Hisoka’s face fills the frame, eyes gleaming with excitement as he laughs "HEHE" and murmurs "AH." He leans in close, shouting "GON GON !!! THOSE EYES!! THAT EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE!! THAT FEVER!!" Below, Gon is struck hard; a starburst impact erupts from his midsection as he cries "AH!" Hisoka continues with manic glee, "THAT'S FINE !!! YOU'RE REALLY A GOOD KID!!!" while Gon’s body folds from the blow. Hisoka’s expression remains ecstatic as he adds, "NOW I WANT TO..."

Gon stares upward with wide, sweat-streaked eyes and a tense expression as motion lines streak across the panel. His opponent looms in close-up, wild hair flying, a black star marking his cheek, lips curled in a fierce grin while declaring 'SMASH YOU'. Gon clenches his jaw, sweat drops flying, as the word 'TAK' punctuates the impact. A thought box reads 'NO... I MUSTN'T.' beside a spade symbol. The opponent’s voice erupts in a massive 'AAAAAH!' as the scene explodes into motion. Gon launches forward, body twisted in a powerful strike, shouting 'FOR YOU TO BE MORE EDIBLE' and 'WAIT A LITTLE MORE' while the opponent is sent reeling. Heavy impact SFX 'BTAM' and lightning-like motion lines fill the bottom panel as spectators react in the background.

Massive 'DOM' impacts shake the page as Gon hovers mid-air with a glowing aura, reacting with 'OOOH !!?'. Hisoka’s voice taunts that it would be a pity to crunch Gon yet, while commanding 'LEFT!! RIGHT!! LEFT!! RIGHT!!' in rapid succession. A pyramid-shaped construct appears in the background. Hisoka’s massive fist labeled 'PAN-SY GUM !!!' swings forward as he notes 'HE GIVES ALL HE HAS!!' and 'HOLDING BACK' with a heart symbol. The final panel shows Hisoka’s face in extreme close-up, eyes shut, declaring 'UNTIL THE LAST MO-MENT' amid heavy motion lines and debris.

GonHisoka

Hisoka swings a massive right hook that lands with a thunderous GAM!! impact, the force rippling through the air as Gon and another fighter react with sharp !! expressions. Hisoka follows through with a powerful left punch, the motion lines and SFX emphasizing the speed and weight of the blow. In the next instant Gon has closed the distance and rushed straight at Hisoka’s extended left fist. The sudden move leaves an observer shouting in confusion, “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!”

GonHisokaKillua

Hisoka’s fist stops short as Gon narrowly evades with a SHUT sound effect. Hisoka grimaces and lets out an “OUCH!!” while twisting in mid-air. The scene cuts to a bright SHTAC impact as a blond fighter is struck, crying out “AAH!” with a VLAM explosion of force. Close-ups show a headband-wearing spectator’s tense face and a final TAK sound as debris or a limb hits the ground.

Gon stares ahead with wide eyes, his thoughts racing in fear. "I'm scared!! But if I let fear spread through me... It doesn't matter who my adversary is, I won't be able to confront him!" A sharp "ZAT" sound effect cuts across the panel. In the next frame Gon shifts his stance, resolve hardening. "I'm kind of used to being moved like a puppet by the pansy gum!! Now! That's the good guard!! Now, I'll be able to act!!" The arbiter raises his hand and declares, "Huh?! And 1 more point for Hisoka 9-4!! 1 critical to each side! 2 points to each one!" The crowd erupts in outrage. "Ooh Ooh Are you blind?! Booooo! Arbiter!" The arbiter waves his hands defensively. "Now Now That wasn't a down!! I stood up immediately!! Plus, I was on guard!!"

GonHisokaArbiter

The crowd’s angry roar fills the arena. "Ouh Ouh The clamours of the crowd can be heard over the attribution of contestable points!! Once more a decision that’s arousing anger!! The arbiter is mocking us!!" Gon grits his teeth. "Damn! And I was about to attack! One point left, an attack or, and it’s over." Hisoka smirks from the far side. "Inattentiveness is your worst enemy, Gon. He he he he." Hisoka leans in with a sly smile and heart emblem on his shirt. "Look to your right." Gon’s eyes widen in shock. "!?" A final close-up shows Gon’s eye staring intensely.

A massive impact erupts as Gon is hurled backward through the air, eyes wide with shock. Hisoka stands in the foreground, smirking with a star-shaped mark under one eye, casually pointing a finger. 'AH, SORRY,' he says. 'THAT WAS LEFT FOR ME, BUT NOT FOR YOU.' In the next sequence, Hisoka explains his trick while Gon stares in disbelief. 'WHILE YOU WERE COMPLAINING TO THE JUDGE, I FIXED MY AURA ONTO A STONE, WHICH I NEXT THREW,' Hisoka continues with a grin. 'WITHOUT YOU REALIZING IT, I SHRANK MY BUNGEE GUM.' Gon yelps 'AH!' as the gum snaps back with a loud 'ARCH' and 'HNN', sending him tumbling. Small 'TAG' markers and impact effects punctuate the rapid exchanges across the arena floor.

Hisoka towers over the scene, clapping with 'CLAP CLAP' effects as the crowd cheers 'OOOOOH'. The announcement declares 'WINNER BY POINTS : HISOKA!! DOWN AND CRITICAL FOR HISOKA!! 2 MORE POINTS FOR HISOKA, 11-4!!!' Gon stands frozen in the foreground, wide-eyed, muttering 'IT'S OVER?!' and 'HUH?!' A smaller inset shows the arena floor with debris and figures. Hisoka leans in close, sweat drop visible, and says 'BUT YOU STILL NEED PRACTICE.' 'YOU MADE GREAT PROGRESS.' He continues, 'BUT THAT'S ONLY IF WE FOUGHT AGAIN IN THE CELESTIAL TOWER.' 'IF YOU CONFRONT ME TO MORE TIMES, WE MIGHT HAVE AN INTERESTING MATCH.' Raising a finger, Hisoka concludes 'I WON'T FIGHT HERE WITH YOU ANYMORE.' 'SO...'

Hisoka's intense close-up fills the right side of the page, his star and teardrop facial marks prominent as he stares forward with a slight smirk. A large speech bubble above him declares, "NEXT TIME, WE'LL CONFRONT FOR REAL IN A WORLD WITH NO RULES." Below and to the left, Gon sits on the floor in his casual outfit, legs crossed and looking up toward Hisoka with a serious expression. In smaller panels stacked on the far left, Gon appears first with a determined, furrowed-brow stare, followed by a profile view of an unidentified young fighter sweating heavily with a visible drop on his cheek. A speech bubble near the bottom reads, "WHERE WE RISK OUR LIVES."

A lone silhouette stands spotlighted on a dark stage under a bright cone of light, with the caption "I STILL HAVE TO WORK A LOT..." in the upper right. Below, Gon appears in close-up with a fierce expression, declaring he will refine his Nen and find qualities that won't let him lose against Hisoka. Another panel shows Gon sitting on the floor looking determined, saying "I KNOW IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!!" followed by "BUT..." A foot stomps on the ground with SFX "CRAK" and motion lines. The bottom wide panel depicts the illuminated dome of the 200th floor at night with city lights, overlaid with narration boxes: "GON SHOWED US A GREAT FIGHT, AND WE HOPE TO SEE HIM KEEP FIGHTING LIKE THIS!! THIS IS THE END OF THE RETRANSMISSION, LIVE FROM THE DOME OF THE 200TH FLOOR!!" and "AFTER THIS TENTH VICTORY, HISOKA NOW HAS THE RIGHT TO TEST FOR THE TITLE OF FLOOR MASTER II".

A stern judge with a headband speaks into a microphone, surrounded by sparkling effects. "TODAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO COUNT ACCESSIBLE POINTS SO THAT THE MATCH WASN'T DRAWN OUT. I'M SATISFIED WITH MY ARBITRATION." In the stands, Leorio leans toward Kurapika and remarks, "AND I WAS SURE HISOKA WOULD WIN BY 1-0." Kurapika replies, "HOW DO YOU BET WITH THAT?" Nearby, a spectator asks, "YOU MEAN...?" as another explains, "A JUDGE THAT PREFERS TECHNICAL PARTS, THEN." The same spectator adds, "THE JUDGES, WHEN THEY THINK THE MATCH HAS A HIGH-RISK, THEY EASILY GIVE POINTS." Killua stands with his back to the group and simply answers, "YES." Gon turns to him with a bright smile and suggests, "HOW ABOUT IF WE GO TO YOUR PLACE? AS WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT TO DO HERE..." At the waterfront, Gon, Killua, and a small creature sit together. Gon says, "THAT'S TRUE, IT'S BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS SINCE I LEFT HOME." Killua agrees, "YEAH. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET MITO-SAN." Someone asks, "SERIOUSLY?" and Gon replies, "OK."

Gon and Killua stand with their backs to the viewer, clapping enthusiastically as motion lines and "CLAP" effects burst around them. They turn forward with determined expressions. Gon wears a black-and-white outfit while Killua appears in a sleeveless top numbered "1" and shorts. Both boys grip long staffs or poles as motion lines streak behind them and small objects scatter. The scene cuts to a massive wide shot of the towering Celestial Tower rising into the clouds. Large text declares "CELESTIAL TOWER !!!" on the left and "BYE BYE ..." on the right. At the very bottom, a banner reads "HXH 7 IT'S ONLY BEGINNING" with arrows.

The page opens with a large bold title reading 'THAT'S NOT CHINESE!' above a black speech-bubble shape labeled '(next)'. Below it, explanatory text states that once more, as in Hunter X Hunter volume 6, Yoshihiro Togashi uses advantages of his language, Japanese, to develop the imaginary universe of his tale. It notes that readers previously learned about Ren, Ten, Hatsu, Nen, and Zetsu, and today will discover the Gyo and the In in their natural writing. Dialogues may appear less artificial this way. The explanation must be read in the following way: natural writing of the ideogram, pronunciation transcribed in hiragana, one of the two Japanese alphabets, pronunciation transcribed in romaji, and meaning of the ideogram. A bordered table presents two ideograms. The first shows the character 隠 with hiragana (いん) and the romaji 'In' paired with the English 'HIDE'. The second shows the character 凝 with hiragana (ぎょう) and the romaji 'Gyô' paired with the English 'TO BE FASCINATED BY, TO DIP SHARPLY IN.'. A footnote at the bottom warns: '* PAY ATTENTION! ONE IDEOGRAM CAN HAVE SEVERAL PRONUNCIATIONS. WE CHOSE ONLY ONE, WHICH ISN'T EXHAUSTIVE.'
