Synopsis[]

Chap 200 - Gon and Killua meeting Palm

Gon and Killua meeting Palm

While wandering the streets, Killua explains to Gon that the broken tiles are a rook and a bishop from Shogi. He goes on to say that it comes from the practice of splitting wood or bamboo in half across its marking and then matching it later to prove one's identity. Gon asks about the purpose of the tiles for them, and Killua explains that their "rivals" have the other halves, so they need to defeat them to take the pieces. They return to the train station and find that the message has been erased, meaning that they read Killua's response of agreeing to fight. Behind them, a woman with long, black hair introduces herself as Palm. Her creepy appearance shocks the two boys, but she tells them not to be so nervous, knowing that Netero didn't tell them much and inviting them for coffee so she can go over the details.

Palm explains that she is a student of Knov, and begins a monologue on how cool and collected her master is, implying that she has some sort of crush on him. As she continues to be embarrassed by her infatuation, she fills her cup of coffee with a considerable amount of sugar and drinks it, which both Gon and Killua find incredibly gross.

Palm explaining the situation to Gon and Killua

Killua gets her back on the topic, asking if he and Gon are supposed to fight her. Palm apologizes for going off on a tangent and clarifies the situation, saying that Netero and Knov didn't want anyone else to join the Extermination Team, but after she insisted so much, Knov eventually gave in but with a stipulation. She begins to adore Knov again, and after Killua interrupts her tangent, she says that the stipulation is that they have to defeat Knuckle and Shoot.

Palm unleashes her hatred for the two Hunters and uses her Hatsu, causing her coffee to overflow onto the table. Gon quickly calms her down and realizes that she's an Enhancer as well. Palm goes on to say that Gon and Killua will be the ones fighting Knuckle and Shoot, both of whom are Morel's students and were also given stipulations, though she isn't aware of what they are. Finally, she tells the two boys that only one of their groups will be allowed to go to NGL, adding that they have one month to accomplish the task.

Chap 200 - Pitou creating an ability to fix Kite

Pitou creating an ability to fix Kite

In the Chimera Ant Nest, the corpse of Kite frozen in a block of ice has been laid out. Neferpitou sits beside it and describes their fight as feeling like a dream, admitting that they want to experience the same thrill again. They suddenly get an idea and say that all they need to do is fix him. As Pitou decides that that will be their ability, an incredibly ominous aura with a face in the center begins to form in front of Pitou.

Elsewhere, in a crowded bar filled with smoke, Shoot says that they have to hold on to their tiles for one month, guessing that someone will try to take them. He somehow fuses his half of the tile into the palm of his hand, asking his partner what they should do. Sitting on a sofa, the delinquent-looking Knuckle confidently replies that they find their opponents and destroy them.
