Killua × Punishment × Family Meeting (キルア×おしおき×家族会議, Kirua × Oshioki × Kazoku Kaigi) is the 35th episode of the original Hunter × Hunter anime. It first aired on July 22nd, 2000.
Overview[]
Killua's mother Kikyo and brother Kalluto knock Canary out. They tell Gon that Killua doesn't want to see them and they should leave. Canary wakes up, and Gon's group heads to the butler's quarters. Killua talks with his father, Silva, who makes him promise never to betray his friends. He lets Killua leave to find Gon and tells Kikyo Killua will be back.
Synopsis[]
Kikyo and Kalluto approach Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio outside. Leorio checks on Canary's injured head and says she'll be okay. Gon gets mad at Kikyo for attacking Canary, but Kikyo ignores him. She says that Illumi has told her all about Gon, and she then relays a message to Gon that is supposedly from Killua, in which he thanks the boys for coming to visit him, but tells them he can't see them right now.
Killua and Milluki bicker
Inside the Zoldyck mansion, Milluki repeatedly whips Killua, who is being hung from the ceiling by his wrists. Milluki remembers when Killua ran away from home and, in the process, attacked Milluki, who tried to stop him. In the present, Milluki is gleeful and taunts Killua, happy to be getting his revenge on his brother. Killua taunts Milluki back and fakes an apology to him to laugh about it a moment later. Milluki retaliates by burning Killua with a lighter and whipping him again.
Milluki tells Killua about Killua's friends coming to see him and threatens to call their mother and have her order the butlers to kill them. At this, Killua breaks one of the chains holding him up and threatens to kill Milluki if he follows through with that. Zeno enters the room and tells Killua he's free to go and that his father wants to see him, and Killua breaks the rest of the chains and shackles on his body and heads out.
Kikyo freaks out
Back outside, Kikyo introduces herself and Kalluto and tells the boys that Killua has been willingly locked up for his actions against the family. In the middle of her explanation, she gets notified on her visor that Zeno let Killua leave, and she freaks out. Gon asks if she can tell Killua they'll be in town for ten more days, and she agrees and runs off. Kalluto stares at the boys until his mother eventually calls him to her side, and he also runs off.
The boys don't believe much of what Kikyo tells them and decide to press on toward the Zoldyck manor. They're worried that Canary will get in trouble for not stopping them, but Canary manages to get up and says she'll take them to the butlers' quarters because they might be able to call the manor from there.
Inside the house, Milluki complains to Zeno that, despite all of Killua's potential and strength, Killua is turning into a brat and is too unpredictable to be a good assassin. Zeno partially agrees, and Milluki goes off on a tangent about one of his latest inventions, trying to show off to his grandfather, who leaves in the middle of Milluki's talking.
Killua talks with his dad
Killua goes to Silva's room, who invites him to sit and tell him about the friends he has made and how the Hunter Exam went. Despite the amicable questions, Killua appears so nervous that his hands shake. His father also asks about the information Illumi has told him about Killua not wanting to kill people anymore. Killua seems conflicted in his answer, but ends up happily rambling about Gon and how great he is, and his dad inquires further about Killua's adventures from when he was away from home.
Kalluto recalls the night that Killua left home and seems haunted by the screams of his mother when she was injured by Killua and seeing Killua wipe her blood on the walls of their hallway. While he's thinking about this, his mother frets more about Killua as she and Kalluto continue to run back to the house.
Silva encourages his son
After hearing stories about Gon, Silva encourages his son to see his friends if that's what he wants. Before letting him leave, he makes Killua swear that he'll never betray his friends. Silva cuts open his thumb by biting it, and Killua does the same, and the two press them together as a gesture of an oath.
Killua grabs his bag and runs out, but on his way, Kikyo and Kalluto appear and stand in his way. Kikyo tries to stop him, but Killua gives her a death glare, and she backs off and Killua exits.
Kikyo, Milluki, and Kalluto gather in a room with Silva and Zeno. Kikyo complains about them just letting Killua runoff, especially since Illumi went through so much trouble trying to get him to come back home. She tries to argue with Silva, but he laughs and pays her arguments no mind. He claims that Killua is developing more than ever and that he's certain Killua will return home someday since he doesn't belong anywhere else in the world.
Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and Canary arrive at the butlers' quarters, where Gotoh and four other butlers stand and stare the group down as they approach.
