10: Part 5 (10—⑤, Jū (Go)) is the 227th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Synopsis[]

The Gun-toting Ant and Bonolenov continue their battle as the Chimera Ant attempts to hit Bonolenov but never manages to make contact. Suddenly the Ant stops and Bonolenov asks why since it was aiming to stop his performance. Making a dash for the exit, the Ant leaves the room, intending to find Pike and have him tie Bonolenov up in silk to stop him from creating any more sounds.

Bonolenov goes on the offensive and uses Battle Cantabile: Jupiter to summon a giant boulder with an appearance similar to the planet Jupiter and squashes the Ant underneath it. The impact creates a large shockwave that rumbles the colony and leaves a massive crater where it landed. Bonolenov stands over the Ant's corpse and says it was a fitting end for a bug. Elsewhere, Kalluto has also defeated his adversary but chides himself for taking too long, saying he had a bad habit of toying with his prey which he has to stop.

Meanwhile, Shalnark is still in Pell's clutches and asks Boki what will become of him. Boki responds that he will become a slave who will work for the queen until he dies, and then snidely remarks that it will not be much different from how he is right now. Shalnark responds that while that may be true, there is one crucial difference and that is who he is working for. Saying that he would rather die than become a yes-man for someone he doesn't even like, Shalnark rebuffs Boki's remark. Boki says that he is quite bold for someone who can only move his lips, and Shalnark bluntly retorts that he can move his fingers and left leg as well, annoying Boki even further.

Shalnark's Autopilot

Losing patience, Boki attempts to take control of Shalnark. Still, before he can do so, the Spider stabs himself with an extra antenna he always carries around for emergencies. Pulling out his cell phone, Shalnark turns autopilot on for the antenna and enters a new form, bursting with aura and leaving Boki stunned. Eliminating both Pell and Boki in one swoop, Shalnark returns to normal. As soon as he switches back, the transformation immediately begins to take its toll on Shalnark, who says he will be too sore to move for a couple of days. He says this was why he hates using that mode despite its power, since the backlash is so strong. He also notes that he never remembers what he does while in that state, so he never feels a sense of accomplishment.

Elsewhere, Shizuku continues her battle with Pike as she tries to find an opening against her opponent. She summons her vacuum to help evade another of Pike's attacks, much to his frustration as he says he is having difficulty catching her in his threads. Determined to catch Shizuku, Pike jumps up to the ceiling and uses his special move Love Shower to create a net of silk that surrounds Shizuku on all sides. The net closes in, and Pike finally captures Shizuku. As she struggles against the binding, he gloats to her and says that not even Bihorn with his super strength, could cut through his threads. Dragging her along, he tells her that he will now offer her to his queen Zazan, hoping she will be happy.

Suddenly he notices that his burden has gotten much lighter and turns around to receive a flurry of attacks. Shizuku jumps back, and he sees that she has taken off her clothes and escaped, surmising that she used them and the vacuum to keep the silk off her skin and then squeezed through the gaps in the thread while rematerializing Blinky once she was out. Pike points out that she will not be able to use the same trick to escape again, to which Shizuku responds that he will not be able to catch her again either as she now knows the range and speed of his silk and how he twitches twice before shooting out his special move. Shizuku then declares that she and Blinky have won.

Meanwhile, Feitan continues his battle against Zazan, blocking a flurry of blows from her stinger. Yelling out that he is no match for her, Zazan tells Feitan to return when he gets his act together. To her surprise, Feitan agrees, saying that he has gotten out of shape, but then Zazan's mood quickly sours as he says that she is good practice and prepares to continue fighting her.
