Summary[]
Satotz congratulates Gon
Gon awakens from sleep to find Satotz sitting beside his bed. Satotz offers his congratulations for passing the Hunter Exam, extending a firm handshake; however, Gon remains unsatisfied with the outcome and declines the gesture. Satotz clarifies that Gon has indeed passed the exam and can no longer fail. He presents the Hunter License, emphasizing that what he chooses to do with it is entirely up to him. After reflecting on this explanation, Gon accepts the Hunter License and ultimately reciprocates with a handshake.
Killua vs. Illumi
The two continue their conversation. Satotz informs Gon that the exam has concluded, revealing that Killua is the sole candidate to have failed. Eager to understand the reasons behind Killua's failure, Gon listens intently as Satotz recounts the matches that follow his bout with Hanzo.
In the second match, Kurapika faces Hisoka, who whispers something in Kurapika’s ear before conceding, thus granting Kurapika the victory.
The third match pits Hanzo against Pokkle, where Hanzo employs the same tactic he previously used on Gon, ultimately compelling Pokkle to surrender.
The fourth match features Hisoka battling Bodoro. Although Hisoka secures victory, Bodoro stubbornly refuses to yield; in a strategic move, Hisoka leans in and whispers something to Bodoro, prompting him to concede.
In the fifth match, Killua faces Pokkle but ultimately chooses to forfeit, unwilling to engage in combat with his opponent. With Bodoro too injured to proceed, the sixth match against Leorio is postponed, leading directly to the seventh match between Killua and Gittarackur.
Satotz recounts the events of the match between Killua and Gittarackur. When Killua realizes that Gittarackur is his older brother, Illumi, he is stunned as Illumi declares that he is unworthy of becoming a Hunter and should instead embrace the life of an assassin. Killua responds that he has no interest in obtaining a license and only wants to be friends with Gon. Illumi continues his relentless lecture, but Leorio steps in, reminding Killua that he must defeat Illumi just as he overcame his previous opponents, emphasizing that Gon is already his friend.
Kurapika, Hanzo and Leorio block Illumi's path
Upon hearing this, Illumi resolves to kill Gon, convinced that the boy would only hinder Killua from fully embracing the life of an assassin. He strides toward the exit, intent on reaching the room where Gon is resting. However, Hanzo, Kurapika, and Leorio rise to block his path at the door. Realizing that killing Gon would cause him to fail the exam, Illumi decides to pass the exam first before carrying out his plan to eliminate Gon.
Gon confronts Illumi
Illumi approaches Killua and asks if he wishes to continue the match. Overwhelmed by fear, both of his brother and the threat looming over his friend, Killua surrenders. With his victory secured, Illumi reveals that he lied about killing Gon.
Following this, the postponed sixth match, now the seventh, commences between Bodoro and Leorio. In a brutal twist, Killua suddenly appears behind Bodoro and kills him on the spot, resulting in his immediate disqualification and failure of the exam.
Determined to confront Illumi, Gon heads to the gathering where the other examinees are receiving brief lessons about becoming Hunters and confronts Illumi without hesitation.
