The group plans to go to the harbor after the game for a parade and party. Genthru reveals his original name started with W before being changed. The name change involved removing the W and adjusting letters to Dwin.
Genthru changed his name from W-D-W-L-I-N-E to Dwin using a phone and computer. The name change was done in one minute for the game. Killua claims better health, lottery wins, and a girlfriend after the change.
Gon reacts with visible surprise to flying papers. Killua maintains a calm posture beside Biscuit. A flower card is shown in close-up between Gon and Killua. The scene transitions outdoors to stone steps. Biscuit approaches Gon and Killua on the steps. A large sound effect PAN DON appears against a starry backdrop.
In a cluttered room filled with debris and overturned furniture, two figures stand near the back. A large sound effect MUWAAN erupts as the scene shifts to a wrecked interior. The Hunter × Hunter logo dominates the center. Gon, in a school uniform with spiky black hair, stands beside Killua, who has light hair and wears a similar uniform. Killua points toward the viewer and announces, 'This is the player who achieved the highest score, Mr. Gon.' Gon looks annoyed, muttering 'Egh... dirty...' A large speech bubble from off-panel says, 'WHAT? OH... COME IN, COME IN.' In the foreground, a bearded man with wild spiky hair grins widely and declares, 'I HEARD THAT YOU'RE GIN'S SON. COME OVER HERE AND SIT BY ME!!' and 'OOOOOH. I WAS WAITING FOR YOU!!' A proofreader's note at the bottom clarifies the name spelling.

Gon searches through the rubble, thinking 'HMM... WHERE IS IT...' and spots something with 'EY, THERE IT IS.' He picks up a small card and hands it over, saying 'HERE YOU GO.' The man, Gin, reacts with surprise, 'WHAT? CAN'T FIND AN OPEN SPOT?? THEN MAKE ONE!!' and dramatically stomps the ground with 'DOGA' while shouting 'LIKE THIS!!' A large card labeled 'A RULER'S BLESSING' SS-1 appears, showing a castle illustration and text explaining the quiz winner receives a castle and town with 10,000 residents. Gin says, 'I JUST WANT TO WARN YOU IN ADVANCE.' Killua watches with a blank expression '...'. Gon looks surprised with a small '!' bubble. Gin concludes, 'NEITHER THE CASTLE NOR THE TOWN HAS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT GIN.'

Gon stands amid rubble as a voice declares, "AA--!! THAT'S GOOD!" and continues, "WELL, THE TRUTH IS, GIN DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH G.I. ANYMORE." and "I DIDN'T THINK THAT GIN HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH G.I. ANYMORE." Nearby, a spiky-haired man laughs wildly, "TOO EASY!!! TOO BA---D!" "I WAS RIGHT! I WAS RIGHT, WASN'T I!!!" "HEHEHE" while another voice snaps, "NO I DIDN'T!!!" and questions, "HRM? OR DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT GIN WAS THE RULER OR SOMETHING!?" The spiky-haired man, now smoking, mutters "OH, DAMN." with repeated *BOHA* sound effects as Killua turns and says, "MR. DWUN, WE'D BETTER MOVE ON TO THE NEXT EVENT." In the next panels debris flies as someone yells "AHH-- FOUND IT, FOUND IT." and "UUUGH... WHERE DID I PUT THAT--" while the man states, "SO YOU HAVE ONE MORE THING TO DO!" and "SO NOW YOU'VE GOT TOO DIFFERENT CARDS." The page ends on a large panel of an open binder displaying a circular card design with radiating lines.

Gon stares wide-eyed at the binder and says, "JUST OPEN IT." and "THIS IS..." He lifts the open binder, revealing rows of card slots inside. A voice explains, "THE CARDS YOU SELECT CAN BE TAKEN OUT TO THE REAL WORLD AND USED THERE." and "THAT BINDER CAN HOLD ANY CARDS YOU CHOOSE." Gon examines it closely while the rules continue, "YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE 3 DIFFERENT CARDS OUT OF THE 100 IN YOUR COLLECTION." and "BUT!! YOU CAN NOT KEEP ANY TWO IDENTICAL CARDS IN THE BINDER." Genthru appears with a hand raised, saying "AND NOW FOR THE ENDING." followed by "HMPF."

A wild-haired man leans forward with a menacing grin, holding up a card and asking which ending Gon prefers. Gon stares back in surprise, his eyes wide as he questions if the choice is his. The man confirms it with a casual 'Yeah,' while Gon internally debates whether picking the regular ending would let the other players see the cleared game too. The man presses again, demanding which one Gon wants. In the lower panels, Killua and Biscuit confront the man. Killua tells him to stop messing around, addressing him as Mr. Dwun. Biscuit apologizes, explaining there really isn't a Mr. Gon ending. The man smirks and notes that since they have cleared the game, he can tell them something. Gon watches from the side with a shocked expression.

Genthru sits among rubble and explains that Gin and ten other people made the game. Killua stands over him, stating he is List and that he is Dwun. A large panel labeled GREED ISLAND shows Killua telling Gon that his dad was part of the group, hence the G in Greed Island, and that the name comes from the first letter of everyone's name. Gon asks if Killua has met Reiza. In the bottom panels, Killua holds up two fingers and explains that both the girl who explained the rules at the entrance and the girl at the exit are twins starting with E. He confirms he is L and the other is R.

After the game, the group discusses their next plans. "AFTERWARDS, WE SHALL GO TO THE HARBOR," one voice states. Another adds, "WE'RE HAVING A PARADE AND A PARTY TO CELEBRATE YOUR COMPLETION OF THE GAME." Gon leans forward excitedly and declares, "ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP. YEAH! WANNA HEAR ABOUT GIN? WANNA?!" The wild-haired man replies, "BUT BEFORE THAT, LET'S TALK." A panel shows the reward details: "AT THE HARBOR, YOU GET THE REWARD. YOU GET TO CHOOSE THE 3 CARDS, AND THEN THE GAME IS COMPLETE." The wild-haired man continues his story with a grim expression: "A CRUEL GUY! REALLY CRUEL! HE REEEEALLY WAS..." Biscuit smiles nearby while Killua reacts with surprise. The man explains the origin of his name: "SO WHEN THE PROJECT BEGAN, I TOLD THEM THAT MY NAME STARTED WITH A 'W'!" He adds, "BUT EVEN THE OLDEST MEMBER THOUGHT THAT IT IS W-D-W-L-I-N-E EQUALS WDWLNE!! IT USED TO BE WDWLNE!" Gon reacts in shock with wide eyes. The man recalls, "KAA--! I KNEW IT. I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY THAT!" Someone asks, "UHH... 'D'?" The man finishes, "MY NAME IS DWIN!! WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FIRST LETTER OF MY NAME IS?"

Gon points forward dramatically with a fierce expression as large letters spell "DO ON!" He recounts, "NOW YOUR NAME STARTS WITH A 'D', 'DWIN'!" and "HE SAID... 'ALRIGHT, THEN TAKE THE 'W' OFF!'" Genthru continues the tale in smaller panels: "HE USED A PHONE AND A COMPUTER." "THE INCREDIBLE THING ABOUT IT IS THAT HE CHANGED HIS NAME IN ONE MINUTE." He shows the change: "HE CHANGED MY NAME FOR A GAME!!" and "CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! HE CHANGED MY NAME!" The explanation details, "IT WAS 'W-D-W-L-I-N-E', AND HE CHANGED IT TO 'DWIN'!!" and "THE REALLY CRUEL PART ABOUT IT IS THAT NOT ONLY DID HE TAKE THE LEADING 'W' OFF, HE ALSO TOOK OFF THE 'E' FROM THE END OF MY NAME!" Genthru sits among debris and papers, raising a finger. In the final panel, he concludes, "THE NUMBER OF LETTERS IN YOUR NAME CHANGES YOUR LUCK! YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME!" Killua replies, "AFTER CHANGING IT TO 'DWIN' MY HEALTH GOT BETTER, I WIN LOTTERIES, I GOT A GIRLFRIEND... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?" Genthru adds, "BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, YOUR LUCK IMPROVED, RIGHT?" with a cityscape visible in the background.

Gon stares upward with wide eyes as papers and documents burst outward around him. Killua stands nearby with hands clasped behind his back while Biscuit watches from the side. Gon and Killua lean in to examine a card bearing a flower symbol. A dark panel filled with horizontal motion lines marks a sudden shift. Outside on stone steps, Gon sits with legs dangling while Killua perches on a higher step; Biscuit approaches from below. The view cuts to a vast field of sparkling stars as the bold sound effect PAN DON erupts across the frame.

A festive stage floats above a cheering crowd, with Gon and Killua standing at its center amid falling confetti and musical notes. The audience claps and smiles, including a short-haired man and a woman with closed eyes. Gon and Killua, now wearing flower leis, wave enthusiastically to the crowd. From behind a barrier an arm points toward the stage. The final panel shows a blurred rush of motion across buildings with musical notes drifting through the air.

A massive roasted bird sits on a tray surrounded by smaller dishes. Below, a lively party fills the room with music notes floating through the air. Glasses clink and spill foam as people dance and celebrate. A man in a headband plays a stringed instrument while a girl with pigtails and a headband dances energetically nearby. Gon sits on the floor eating with a happy expression, and Killua stands beside him. In the background, servers carry trays of food and more guests cheer and raise their arms on a stage-like area. Everyone appears joyful and relaxed after the intense events.

From outside a window, the scene shifts indoors. Gon and Killua discuss the game. Gon wonders if there were any clues inside the game about their current location. Killua replies that the others did not know where he is right now. They talk about a message at the beginning of the game and whether the others asked about Killua's dad, directing them to the harbor. Biscuit sits nearby listening. Gon suggests choosing one card each. He declares he chooses 'Blue Planet'. Killua responds thoughtfully about the three cards they have to choose.

Gon and Killua sit side by side, pondering their choice. Gon rests his chin on his hand and mutters, "MM... STILL THINKING." Killua glances over and asks, "HOW 'BOUT YOU, KILLUA?" Biscuit leans in excitedly from the right, holding up a card and declaring, "THE REGENERATING MEDICINE IS SOMETHING I WANT TOO, BUT IN THIS CASE I WANT THAT ONE ♡" Gon replies thoughtfully, "KINDA. HM... DID YOU CHOOSE, GON?" Biscuit beams and exclaims, "I JUST WANNA SEE IT IN REAL LIFE!" A close-up shows a hand pointing at a card on the table with the word "THIS." Killua and Gon stare at the selection, Killua asking, "UM... FOR REAL? WHICH ONE?" Both Gon and Biscuit react with wide-eyed shock, Biscuit shouting, "WHAT?!" Gon holds up the chosen card and says, "THAT'S AWESOME!" Killua murmurs, "INTERESTING..." Biscuit questions, "YOU HAVE SO MANY OTHER CARDS TO CHOOSE FROM? WHY THAT ONE?" while Gon and Killua exchange puzzled looks with "..." and "!"

Killua asks when Gon decided, and Gon answers, "UMM... THE MOMENT I SAW IT." Killua presses further, "WHEN DID YOU DECIDE ON THAT?" Gon insists, "IT DEFINITELY HAS TO BE THIS CARD." Killua agrees, "YEAH... YOU THINK THIS IS OK?" Gon replies, "YEAH, WE NEED THIS CARD TOO. BUT, THAT ALONE IS NO GOOD." Biscuit, sitting nearby, realizes, "AND THE PROBLEM IS... SO BISCUIT HAS BLUE PLANET..." She stands up in confusion, asking, "WAIT! WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" with question marks floating above her. Suddenly Biscuit bursts into the scene with a dramatic impact, shouting, "LET ME JOIN THE CONVERSATION, DAMNIT!!" as large sound effects "DOGIYA!!" explode across the bottom of the page.

Beneath a vast starry night sky, a quiet voice begins, "SO..." A small panel shows a distant building with a spire under cloudy skies. The next panel declares, "CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING THE GAME." Inside the game facility, Gon stands with his back to the viewer at a wooden counter where a masked attendant in a tall hat and frilly collar waits. A large speech bubble from the attendant states, "THAT YOU WANT TO STORE IN YOUR BINDER." Another bubble continues, "PLEASE CHOOSE THE 3 CARDS..." Gon faces the counter, hands resting near it. In the bottom panel, Gon appears in close-up, sweat drop on his cheek, smiling slightly as he holds up three cards with circular emblems toward the viewer.
