Determination ((けっ)(しん)()()()()()()()(), Kesshin) is the 283rd chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Synopsis[]

Protected inside the tank, Ikalgo accelerates toward Bloster, who fires multiple shots, all of which do only minimal damage. But Bloster quickly dodges out of the way, shooting out the tank's treads as it slams into the wall, stopping in front of the elevator. Bloster immediately understands his mistake, realizing he could have blasted a hole in the elevator's ceiling and used the cable to climb up. Ikalgo says he's cleared the first hurdle, subsequently pouring alcohol all over the tank's interior and using a lighter to ignite it.

Chap 283 - Ikalgo utilizing his resourcefulness

Ikalgo utilizing his resourcefulness

Bloster approaches and sees the smoke and flames inside, thinking that the driver may have killed himself. Only a tiny gap remains between the tank and the elevator, and Bloster fires multiple shots at it out of frustration. He yells toward the surveillance room that the person in the tank is burning alive, as Ikalgo is shown in the elevator conserving air with a length of tubing.

He patiently waits for Bloster to fall asleep from the gas, squeezing out of the elevator and slowly approaching him. He readies his Fleadom and loads one round, holding the gun between the plates of Bloster's shell near his head. He repeatedly tries to convince himself that killing him is the best option as tears form in his eyes. However, Ikalgo then seemingly runs out of air, putting two of his tentacles in his mouth. He approaches the bulkhead, having not closed it all the way but kept it sealed with a long stretch of tape, and squeezes his way through. He reaches the surveillance room and fully closes the bulkhead, vomiting, and sobbing as he shuts off the sleeping gas. He continues to weep, declaring himself a coward.

Chap 283 - Pouf amused by Morel's decision

Pouf amused by Morel's decision

Within his Smoky Jail, Morel readies his pipe as Pouf wonders if he will deviate from his original plan of waiting. And Morel does, swinging his pipe toward the cocoon and breaking it apart, with Pouf in shock outside of the smoke. Morel deactivates Smoky Jail, surmising that it had to be a trap since the cocoon appeared after Pouf knew his plans. In addition, he sensed no reaction, not even Pouf pretending to react, as he prepared to attack with his pipe. At this conclusion, Pouf begins to laugh slightly, saying "fifteen minutes" with a smile on his face.
