The Choice of Three Cards (3
Summary[]
List leads Gon through the castle's halls and eventually brings him to a very messy room filled with various things such as books, games, and garbage. A man sitting in front of a television tells them to come in, and List introduces a grossed-out Gon as the quiz contest winner. The man says that he has heard that Gon is Ging's son and tells him to sit down. Gon wonders where he should sit among all the trash, and the man quickly kicks away some of the stuff to make a spot. The man looks for something and then tosses the "Ruler's Blessing" card to Gon as the reward for the quiz.
Gon opening the case for the three cards he can take outside the game
As Gon stares intently at the card, the man chuckles and tells him that he won't find any clues about Ging in the castle or the town. He begins to playfully poke fun at Gon, who assures the man that he wasn't expecting his father to be in the castle or even on the island. List addresses the man as Dwun and tells him to move things along. Dwun says that by obtaining the 100 specified slot cards, Gon will trigger another event. He again looks for something among all the stuff and pulls out a case that holds three cards, telling Gon that he can put three specified slot cards in there and use them outside the game. However, he clarifies that they cannot be copies of the same card.
Dwun tells Gon that he has reached the end of the game and asks whether he wants the ending just for him or the generic one. Gon decides to go with the latter since his friends helped him along the way, but List reprimands Dwun for teasing Gon and reveals that the former doesn't exist. As Gon wonders why Dwun would lie like that, List says that they are allowed to tell him things about themselves, introducing both himself and Dwun as friends of Ging's. He adds that their group of 11 created Greed Island and used all the initials of their first names to form the title (and since Ging was the lead designer, he wanted a word that started with "g").
A young Ging changing Dwun's name
List asks Gon if he has met Razor, explaining that he is the "r" in "Greed." He also tells Gon that the women at the entrance and exit are twins named Eta and Elena. He then says that a parade will be held in the town to celebrate Gon's achievement and that he can go to the port once it ends, where he will choose his three cards to take outside the game. Dwun says that they can talk until then, asking Gon if he wants to hear anything about Ging. Gon is eager to listen, but Dwun suddenly says that Ging is an unbelievable jerk. He asks Gon how he thinks his name is spelled, and Gon guesses that it starts with a "d". Dwun says that it's what most people think, but it used to have a silent "w" and was spelled "Wdwune." However, when he told Ging that his name was spelled that way, Ging simply told him to take the "w" off and said that his name would be "Dwun" from now on.
As Dwun continues to rant about Ging changing his name just for a game, List adds that Ging actually got it legally changed in less than a minute. However, Dwun does admit that his luck has increased after the name change, explaining that his health has improved, he won the lottery, and got a girlfriend. After the three talk a while longer, Gon goes back outside the castle and shows the card case to Killua and Biscuit.
In Limeiro, the thousands of residents celebrate Gon's victory as the three are paraded around the town. After they eat, drink and sing, the three find a quiet place to talk and Biscuit asks him if he learned anything about Ging. Gon replies that even List and Dwun don't know where he is, and Killua reminds Gon that Ging left that message for him when he started playing the game.
Gon choosing the three cards to take outside the game
The three wonder which cards they should pick, and Biscuit immediately chooses "Blue Planet" (even though "Witch's Rejuvenation Potion" is tempting to her). She asks Killua what he will choose, and he says that he's still thinking. Killua then asks Gon, who points to a specific card in his book. The choice surprises the other two, and Biscuit says that there are better cards to choose, but Killua realizes Gon's plan and asks him when he came up with it. Gon replies that he thought of it the first time he saw it, and as the two talk about exactly how they can make it work, Biscuit sends both of them flying with a punch when they seem to ignore her. That night, Elena congratulates Gon as he prepares to leave the game, asking him to choose three cards from his specified slots. Gon takes out three cards from his book and holds them up in his hand.
