Synopsis[]

Chap 185 - Gon leaving the game with the three cards he chose

Gon leaving the game with the three cards he chose

Elena confirms that the three cards Gon has chosen are "Plot of Beach," "Blue Planet," and "Paladin's Necklace." She gives him back his ring and commends his accomplishment. Gon thanks her, and Elena is happy that he remembered her name. She says goodbye and teleports him away from the game's island. Gon meets up with Killua and Biscuit, telling them that it feels weird to be back in the real world, but Killua reminds him that the island was also in the real world. Biscuit tells Gon to take out the case, and Gon uses the "book" command to bring it out.

Taking out the "Blue Planet" card, Biscuit uses "gain" and marvels at the beautiful jewel in her hand. She begins to laugh with excitement and wonders what name she should give it, but she realizes that Gon and Killua are awkwardly looking on. She changes the subject and asks them if the cards they chose are what they really wanted, and the two say that while they considered other options (like "Fickle Genie" and "Risky Dice", and putting cards in the Toraemon's pockets), they decided to go with Gon's initial plan.

Gon successfully carrying out his plan

Gon uses "gain" on "Paladin's Necklace" and holds the "Plot of Beach" card in front of it, causing it to transform into an "Accompany" card. The two celebrate that it worked and explain that they used "Clone" to transform the "Accompany" card into a specified slot card. Biscuit is impressed that he was willing to take the risk, but Gon says that he was sure it would work since he was the first to enter the game. He explains that while Goreinu was the first person he met inside the game, a player named "Nigg" was at the top of his players list. He thinks back to his time with Kurapika and Leorio when they looked up information on Ging. He guesses that "Nigg" is an anagram Ging used and that his father brought him to the game when he was a baby.

Biscuit is again impressed by Gon's determination, also adding that Ging's intention was for Gon to grow stronger and clear the game so that he could meet up with him. She asks Gon what he will say to Ging first, and Gon replies that he will introduce Killua as his best friend. Killua is left embarrassed and tells him to cut it out, but Biscuit begins to sob and can't believe that she was planning to ruin their friendship when she first met them. The two ask if she wants to come with them, but Biscuit says that she isn't interested in men with kids and worries that she would get too attached. The two thank her for everything, and Gon uses the "Accompany" card to travel to his father with Killua.

Gon reuniting with Kite

They land near a body of water and find a shrouded figure sitting on the base of a tree and fishing. The person seems to recognize Gon, and it's revealed to be Kite once he removes his coat. He points out how big Gon has gotten and asks him what he's doing there. Gon is shocked to see him, and the two catch up while eating the fish that Kite caught. Kite explains that Ging took him inside the game one time, but he says that he forgets what name he used and that it's possible Ging had set up something like that. Gon is left disappointed, but Kite asks Gon to tell him about all his adventures.

Back in Greed Island, Elena wonders if Ging made the right decision as she remembers him telling her to set it so that Gon will travel to him if he uses "Magnetic Force" and to Kite if he uses "Accompany." She asks him why he wanted it that way, and Ging replies that he is willing to see Gon if he comes alone, not if he's a wimp that needs to have friends with him constantly. Elena again questions his decision, but Ging adamantly orders her to do it. Back in the present, Elena feels bad for Gon and comments on how grumpy Ging was.

Gon learns that Kite has already found Ging, and Kite says that he can call himself a real Hunter now. He asks Gon if he wants to know where Ging is, but Gon is adamant about finding him himself. Kite praises Gon's answer and the three continue to talk while sitting around the fire. Meanwhile, it's stated that on the southern coast of the Balsa Islands in the Yorbian Continent, a mysterious creature has washed up on the beach.
