Anime and Manga Differences[]
- In the 1999 anime adaptation, after observing the Hemotropic Butterflies' attraction to blood, Gon realizes he can use them to track Hisoka from noticing the butterflies drawn to Hisoka's shoulder earlier when Hisoka disembarked onto Zevil Island. In the manga, the butterflies were not present as Hisoka disembarked, so Gon instead has the realization after recalling that Hisoka was wounded during Trick Tower.
- In the 1999 anime adaptation, Tonpa and Sommy are strung up together on a tree after being defeated by Kurapika and Leorio. In the manga, they are tied up in separate locations—Tonpa is left on a rock with a "no feeding" sign attached to him, and Sommy is restrained elsewhere in the woods.
- The 1999 anime adaptation adds the following:
- Goz encountering Gittarackur and Siper hunting Gittarackur is shown. As Goz and Gittarackur have a standoff, Siper lies in wait nearby with her sniper rifle aimed at Gittarackur. When Siper makes her shot, she accidentally shoots Goz, giving him his mortal wound, before Gittarackur attacks and kills her soon after.
- Kurapika and Leorio are shown chasing Sommy down, with Kurapika ultimately restraining Sommy's monkey, Kamuri, while Leorio defeats and captures Sommy. Having lost respect for his master seeing him defeated, Kamuri betrays Sommy and reveals the location of Leorio's badge. In the manga, Sommy and Kamuri simply surrender and are tied up together, with Kurapika finding Leorio's badge on his own from searching the nearby trees.
- Kurapika telling Kamuri he no longer needs to take orders from humans, allowing Kamuri to go free as he joins a troop of wild monkeys.
- Goz revealing that he is a member of a warrior group known as the Bianu Mercenaries.
