Chapter 325

Participation (參戦, Sansen) is the 325th chapter of the Hunter x Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Summary
Gotoh's cellphone rings to a mysterious person. He is unable to give some information about the welfare and situation Killua is in. It ends up being Leorio, screaming in the phone in frustration. After Gotoh finds this out, he tells Leorio only a little more detail. Leorio continues to insult Gotoh, and Gotoh, out of frustration as well, gets serious and tells Leorio the situation in much further detail. How much Killua is sacrificing. Killua talks to Leorio to calm his nerves, and then Morau, being a much calmer man, wants to talk to Gotoh. Leorio refuses his cellphone to him, but Morau says if a condition comes up that Leorio can't agree with, he'll give Morau the phone. Gotoh tells Leorio they must evacuate the hospital: staff, patients and visitors, to keep Alluka's powers secret. Leorio, of course, can't agree with this. Morau takes the phone, detailing a plan to construct a private room for Gon in the parking lot of the hospital. He calls Novu, and they discuss what Alluka's powers are, since every Nen Remover has been driven away with fear and hopelessness. However, they trust Killua. Leorio takes his phone and leaves the room, wondering why Kurapika hasn't come to visit.

In the Hunter's Association building just across the block, Pariston is giving a speech to the hunters in attendance about voting to the 95% rating like former chairman Netero wanted. No matter their ideals. He even uses Ging as an example. They begin a Q&A and the first question is from Leorio. He asks Ging why he hasn't visited Gon in the hospital. After some not-so-fatherly answers, Leorio becomes super angry, punching the podium in half. The punch travels through the floor, into the table, and punches Ging squarely in the face. He takes the punch fully on purpose. This also shows Leorio has been learning Nen. The crowd cheers and claps in joy. The 4th election results come in with a 97% voting rate. And surprisingly to all, Leorio has finished in 3rd!
