Synopsis[]

Chap 201 - Knuckle challenging Gon and Killua to a fair fight

Knuckle challenging Gon and Killua to a fair fight

In order to lure out his unknown opponents, the Beast Hunter Knuckle Bine strolls through the city with a megaphone and banner, announcing that he is challenging the two other candidates for the Extermination Team. He shouts that the time will be midnight and that he will be waiting to fight them fair and square. However, he forgets to mention the location of the fight, with several passersby quick to point out the omission. Unknown to Knuckle, Killua pretends to be a civilian and just walks past him.

Later in a restaurant, Killua tells Gon that Knuckle's announcement has to be a trap and that Knuckle's partner might be stalking anyone who had an unusual reaction since according to Palm, the two don't even know their names. Despite calling Knuckle stupid, Killua admits that he looked pretty strong. Gon asks how long it would take to defeat Knuckle, and Killua reminds him of what Morel told him earlier: a battle involving Nen has no certainties. Morel had also told him that he shouldn't worry so much about the odds of victory, but Killua disagrees, telling Gon that they need to improve their basic skills and figure out the opponents' abilities in order to win.

Gon disagrees with the second part, and Killua asks him why they should take that risk. Gon calmly says that that's normal in NGL, reminding Killua that their goal is not to defeat Knuckle and Shoot, but to get stronger so they can go back to NGL and rescue Kite. Continuing to argue over the details, Killua reminds him that they only have a month to improve, but Gon says that they will improve in one week and return to NGL by then. As Killua is left in disbelief by the statement, a punch suddenly flies toward them and strikes Gon, sending him to the ground.

Gon and Killua stunned to see Biscuit

The two boys look up to see Biscuit and wonder why she's there. Palm tells them that she called her, saying that she used her ability to find information on the two of them. Palm's expression becomes twisted, and she insists that they start plotting to kill Morel's students, with Gon and Killua quickly declining. Before starting their training, Biscuit punches Gon again and scolds him for what he said earlier, telling him that Netero is known for having unreasonable expectations and that when he gives a deadline of a month, it would be difficult to accomplish the task in one year, let alone just one week. Gon tells her all about the situation with Kite and Biscuit says that it's all the more important that he doesn't rush things since he could fail again.

Killua stands by and silently comments about Biscuit being an old woman good at giving criticism. Gon realizes that Biscuit's nagging was right, and they move on to Nen training. The two show her their Ren, and she tells them to maintain it for three hours, surprising both of them. Gon asks Killua how long he has gone for, and Killua says that his maximum is 55 minutes on a good day. Biscuit tells them that they won't move on to the next step until they reach three hours. Less than an hour later, Gon has already collapsed on the floor while Killua continues using Ren for a few minutes longer. When he gives up, Biscuit also continues reading her magazine and informs them that prolonging Ren for only 10 minutes could require a month, stressing that they can't waste any time for sleep.

In a park, Knuckle becomes furious that his opponents didn't show up, calling them cowards and saying that they deserve to die. While waiting, he befriends a puppy and asks him where his owner is, saying that they should be around to pick up after him.

After training, Biscuit tells the two that they can sleep for the night, but that tomorrow starts in half an hour. Gon and Killua fall asleep right on the floor, and Biscuit manifests Cookie and uses Piano Massage on Gon first. She says that it will allow them to get eight hours of rest in just 30 minutes.

Palm politely interrupts, but quickly turns to her ominous self, telling Biscuit that if she has to wait so long and doesn't get to go to NGL, she may kill all three of them. Biscuit asks her if it's a threat, but Palm calmly replies that it's a warning, asking her to give up on the two boys if she thinks they have no chance. Biscuit says that she should be telling Gon and Killua that (once they wake up). After his rest, Gon assures Palm that they will win and take her to NGL, asking her for any advice as he continues his Ren training.

Netero worried that Pitou is stronger than him

Biscuit tells her to have faith in Gon, and Palm suddenly becomes infatuated with his determination, embarrassed to show it. Biscuit says that she's worried about the ones in NGL already, asking Palm what Netero will be doing for the next month. Palm answers that they plan to determine the strength of the enemy and chip away at it. She adds that since the experts can't agree on the time left until the King's birth, the group is assuming that it could be as early as two months away. In NGL, Netero looks toward the Chimera Ant Nest, putting his hand around his right eye to get a clearer view. He spots Neferpitou and immediately becomes worried, saying that the Ant looks stronger than him.
