The Second Day (
Synopsis[]
Gon successfully uses the strategy on another bird, wrapping his fishing line around it and pulling it toward himself. After letting the creature go, he looks at his hands and sees how injured they are from practicing so much. He tells himself that it was worth it since he can now catch a bird every time it flies down to catch a fish, hoping that the strategy will work when he tries to steal Hisoka's badge. He then says that he just needs to find Hisoka, but wonders how to do so given the size of Zevil Island. As he asks himself if he should just wander around using his instincts, several butterflies appear around him. Gon wonders why they are interested in him, and the butterflies begin to fly around his hand, with Gon wondering if they are drawn to the smell of blood.
Gon finding Hisoka
Elsewhere on the island, Hisoka sits alone at the base of a tree as multiple butterflies fly around the wound on his shoulder. He then gets a call from someone who asks if he has taken his target's badge yet. Hisoka replies that he hasn't, and the person learns that he doesn't even know who his target is, offering to reveal it to him. However, Hisoka quickly declines and says that he will collect three badges worth one point each. Gon is then seen to have tied a fishing line around two butterflies, remembering that Hisoka was wounded inside Trick Tower and hoping that the creatures lead him to Hisoka before the injuries heal. Hearing a noise nearby, Gon finds Kyu still suffering from the effect of Pokkle's drugged arrow and helps him sit up against a nearby tree, wishing him luck next year before leaving. He continues to patiently follow the two butterflies, which eventually lead him to Hisoka still resting against the same tree. Gon becomes extremely nervous as he grips his fishing rod and his heartbeat begins to quicken. However, he soon calms himself down and says that he only needs to wait for Hisoka to make the first move.
Elsewhere, Tonpa is seen to have met up with Leorio, who is ready for a fight with his switchblade drawn. Although Tonpa assures him that he isn't his target, Leorio tells him to prove it. Tonpa quickly holds up the #191 card and says that he thought it would be smart to keep it since it would be a waste of time and energy to go after just anyone. He then worries that he is Leorio's target, but Leorio assures him that he isn't, holding up the #246 card. Tonpa immediately tells him that the badge number belongs to Ponzu and offers to detail their appearance, weapons, and weaknesses in exchange for something. Tonpa's stomach then rumbles, and he says that the nuts he ate didn't agree with him, making it so he can barely walk. He remembers that Leorio said he was pre-med and asks if he has any medicine. Leorio holds up his briefcase and assures Tonpa that he always has some with him, asking for the information first before he will hand it over.
Sommy preparing to attack Leorio
Quickly agreeing to the deal, Tonpa reveals that Ponzu is a woman and one of five remaining examinees who uses chemical weapons. Drawing a rough image of her in the ground, he adds that she uses a variety of toxins and waits for her prey to fall for the traps she has set. He assures Leorio that he will win if he forces her into a head-on fight, quickly asking for the medicine after offering the information. Leorio tells him to back away and sit on the ground, with Tonpa desperately telling him to toss it to him since he can't hold it any longer. However, right as Leorio opens his briefcase, Sommy suddenly appears behind him and swings a branch at him. Although Leorio manages to dodge the strike, the contents of his briefcase fly everywhere, including his #403 badge which Sommy's pet monkey quickly grabs.
Tonpa tells Sommy that he knew it would be inside his briefcase, and Leorio can't believe that he was tricked. Tonpa also reveals that he already had his own supply of medicine and that Leorio was really his target. A confused Leorio wonders about the #191 card, but Sommy explains that it was his card, holding up the #403 card that Tonpa drew and telling Leorio that he fell for one of the oldest tricks. As Leorio chases after Tonpa and threatens to tear him to pieces, Sommy climbs a nearby tree with his monkey on his back and tells Tonpa that he will meet him at the rendezvous point.
Kurapika stopping Tonpa
Running away, Tonpa points out that Sommy is the one who has his badge, but Leorio replies that he doesn't care. Tonpa tells him that he's acting exactly like a rookie and that there's nothing wrong with teaming up against another examinee. With Tonpa looking back at Leorio, Kurapika suddenly appears in front of him and says that while teamwork is fine, deceit is the fault of the deceiver, knocking Tonpa to the ground with a swift kick to the face as he turns back around. With Leorio surprised to see him, Kurapika tells him that they should use the experience as a lesson.
