The Night Before the Showdown (
Synopsis[]
Kurapika and Leorio capturing Tonpa and Sommy
On Zevil Island, Tonpa is seen barely conscious and tied up on top of a large rock, with a sign behind him telling people not to feed him. Elsewhere, with their weapons drawn, Kurapika and Leorio catch up to Sommy and his monkey, tying them up and recovering Leorio's #403 badge from inside a nearby tree stump. Leorio praises his idea of working together, and Kurapika notes that they not only recovered Leorio's badge, but also now have Tonpa and Sommy's badges. Leorio deduces that Tonpa was Kurapika's target and thanks him for stopping the Rookie Crusher. Kurapika replies that he doesn't deserve any thanks since he didn't say anything before Sommy was about to attack him. With Leorio realizing it, Kurapika tells him that he hoped he would be able to handle it, especially if he wanted to be his partner.
Kurapika tells him that he just barely passed, but before Leorio becomes too angry, he realizes that everything worked out in the end, just glad that the two are allies. He then tells Kurapika that he already has six points with Tonpa's badge and his own. Kurapika points out that he now has to hold on to them, adding that Sommy's badge is only worth one point. The two then decide to look for Leorio's target, Ponzu, by watching for stalkers. Elsewhere on the island, as Killua walks alone in a forest, he knows that someone is following him and wonders if they realize how obvious they are. Turning around, he tells the person to come out and says that they can play.
Goz preparing to fight Hisoka
With Gon still waiting for Hisoka to make a move, the latter suddenly tells someone to show themselves. As Gon's heartbeat quickens, Hisoka guesses that they aren't ready and says that he will come to them, standing up and walking right in Gon's direction. Although Gon worries that he's been spotted and considers making a move, Goz suddenly stands up from the bushes nearby, swinging his spear and just barely missing Gon's head. The examinee tells Hisoka that he desires to fight him, but Hisoka replies that he seeks death, with Gon telling himself that it's his chance to steal Hisoka's badge.
After readying his spear, Goz swings the weapon and cuts right through a tree, with Hisoka swiftly jumping over the strike. Goz then thrusts the spear toward Hisoka, who dodges out of the way before Goz fells another tree, with Hisoka ducking below the strike. Although Gon prepares to make his move when Hisoka counterattacks, Hisoka continues to stay on the defensive, only dodging Goz's attacks and leaving Gon confused. Now exhausted, Goz wonders why Hisoka won't fight back, and Hisoka replies that he is already dying, pointing out the swarm of Hemotropic Butterflies now hovering around the wound on his lower back. Hisoka guesses that someone already inflicted the injury, adding that he understands why Goz wants to end his life as a warrior. Goz then desperately wonders why Hisoka still refuses to fight him, and Hisoka coldly replies that the dead don't interest him, stating that he prefers to look into living rather than lifeless eyes.
Gittarackur revealing his true appearance
After Hisoka calmly sits down on one of the stumps, Goz angrily charges forward with his spear as Gon prepares to make his move. However, several needles suddenly fly toward Goz and pierce his face, killing him as he falls to the ground. With Gon left stunned, Gittarackur appears and apologizes for letting his victim run away. Hisoka calls him a liar and says that he let Goz escape knowing that he would find him and want a final duel. Gittarackur points out that Goz was dying anyway and adds that Hisoka also does the same when he doesn't immediately kill someone. Hisoka replies that he only does that for those who are worthy since it would be a shame to end their lives so quickly. He asks about Goz's badge, and Gittarackur holds up the #371 badge, saying that he now has six points. He then reveals the #80 badge and offers to give it to Hisoka, who asks whose it is. Gittarackur replies that it belonged to one of the snipers, whom he killed because his use of a gun aggravated him.
Gittarackur suddenly removes the needles from his face, causing it to change its appearance. Hisoka comments that it's always fun to watch, and Gittarackur tells him that while he doesn't particularly enjoy it, it feels good when it stops. With Gittarackur's true appearance revealed, he quickly digs a hole in the ground and jumps inside, wishing Hisoka good luck and saying that he will wait there until the deadline. After Gittarackur covers up the hole and night eventually falls, Hisoka holds the #80 badge in his hand and prepares to hunt for more targets, noting that he needs two more points. Gon continues to follow Hisoka from the bushes and hopes that he will be able to make his move. Hisoka makes his way to a small cliff and puts his hand around his right eye to get a clearer view, chuckling as he spots Kurapika and Leorio in the forest below.
