Resolution is the Chapter 21 of the Hunter x Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Summary
Leroute rejoices for he had won against Leorio. The others are worried about the time they have left. Killua is the only one left to fight in the group. Leorio regretted for not winning his previous match, thinking that Killua will surely lose.

Killua will have to fight against Johness, who is considered the greatest murderer of Zaban City. He is said to kill people with no distinction of age or gender. He killed at least 146 people before he was arrested. His victims' bodies are said to have benn cut by thousands of pieces. However, Killua is not really amazed. Leorio tells him to forfeit, that they can always take the exam next year.

On the arena, Johness tells Killua that he only wants to touch flesha and Killua can only cry and shout. The young boy doesn't mind and in a blink of an eye, he ripped out Johness' heart using his claws. The prisoner begs Killua to give his heart back instead, Killua gave him a sadistic smile and crushed his heart in front of Johness' own eyes. Everyone, the prisoners and his teammates are shocked.

Killua simply asked for their win and challenges Bendot if he wants to try him. Bendot refuses, scared by the boy. Gon tells his groupmates that Killua comes from an elite assassin family. The prisoners then lets them pass, but they have to stay inside a small room to spend the 50 hours they lost in the gamble. Kurapika asked Killua what kind of technique he used to kill Johness. Killua simply tells him it's not a technique, the only thing he did is to reach out and grab his heart. It was easier to do because he can turn his nails into longer claws. He also tells them that Johness is an amateur and he's a professional. But his parents are more skilled that he is, if they are the ones fighting, then the wound wouldn't have bled. Leorio is assured that Killua is in their group while Kurapika makes a mental note that Killua may be dangerous if he's not included in their group.
