Doubles ((ぶん)(しん)()()()()()()()(), Bunshin) is the 285th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Synopsis[]

Hina and Shidore sneak through the palace, planning to escape while they can. Hina assumes that Leol is dead since she can't contact him, and Cheetu as well since her stomach deflated. She says she hasn't heard anything from Flutter either and intends to be a queen somewhere and to make Shidore her deputy. They come across Bizeff trapped under a large piece of rubble, and he pleads them to get him out. Hina says it's too risky to help and begins to walk away, but Bizeff promises to reward her with all the treasure located in the basement.

Once Hina gets more details about the treasure, she easily lifts the large stone off Bizeff's legs and throws it down the hallway, telling him to keep his promise, or she'll kill him. As Shidore carries Bizeff on her back, he wonders if the destruction was caused by an air raid and worries about being captured, saying he'll either be put in prison for life or executed if they force a false confession from him. And so he resolves to escape and avoid getting caught.

Elsewhere, the "Smoke Troopers" resembling Knuckle have Youpi surrounded and begin their assault on him. Youpi knows the real one is hiding among the doubles and plans to land a counterattack once Knuckle makes his move. He quickly dispatches five of them, leaving Morel with 84, and can feel that the clones are like smoke, confident that he can confirm when the real Knuckle punches him. The number of "Smoke Troopers" continues to fall, now at 70, and Youpi remains confident that he won't be taken off-guard like he was by the lightning strike.

Thinking he may be moving too fast, he subtly tries to give the real Knuckle an opening in order to enact his plan. Right on cue, one of the Knuckles moves in close and lands a hard right to Youpi's side. But as Youpi quickly dispatches him, he realizes it's just smoke and becomes enraged. Morel asks him if he finally realizes that the real Knuckle was never among them, causing Youpi to swell with rage as he billows toward Morel. But the real Knuckle suddenly appears and punches the giant mass just before it explodes, with the horde of citizens shown still in front of the palace.
