Summary[]

After Ging and Cheadle argue back and forth about the election and Pariston, the remaining four candidates prepare to speak to the crowd. Killua arrives at the makeshift hospital built for Gon and waits for Alluka to wake up. As the candidates give their speeches, Alluka wakes up and Killua has Nanika heal Gon, the effects of which are felt by everyone nearby. The voting is narrowed down to Leorio and Pariston, but a crying Morel suddenly enters the auditorium and lets Leorio know that Gon is okay. Gon enters shortly after, and the two embrace as the crowd applauds Gon's return.

As Cheadle confronts Pariston, Gon spots Ging and runs to meet him, blaming himself for what happened to Kite. Ging assures him that it wasn't his fault and tells him to go see Kite and apologize. Gon votes for Pariston since Leorio is studying to be a doctor, and after winning the election, Pariston makes Cheadle his Vice Chairman and immediately resigns.

Finally realizing that Killua was able to bypass Alluka's rules because he was giving an order, Illumi confronts his brother and desires to control both him and Alluka. But Killua quickly summons Nanika and sends Illumi back to Kukuroo Mountain. Now alone, Killua orders Nanika to never come out again, but Alluka yells at her brother for making Nanika cry, causing Killua to apologize and summon Nanika again as the two embrace.

Koala discusses rebirth with Kite, who orders him to stay by their side as punishment for the rest of his life. Gon then enters and apologizes to Kite, who thanks him and tells him to go be with Ging. Gon learns that his father is waiting for him atop the World Tree, and after apologizing to and parting ways with Killua, he ascends the tree and talks with Ging, who reveals that their world is only a small part of a much bigger one. Although he hopes to journey there, he says that he just wants to enjoy the journey and tells Gon to enjoy the detours. After the two happily talk and part ways, Gon returns to Kite and watches the flight of small-billed swans with him, Kite's companions, and Koala as many of his friends see the spectacle from their computers and phones.

At a meeting of the Zodiacs, Beans bursts into the room and shows them a video in which the King of Kakin announces that he plans to expand their empire to the Dark Continent, adding that they have hired Netero's son, Beyond, to lead their expedition. Beyond gives an impassioned speech urging people to make the journey with him. In a city somewhere, Beyond refuses to cooperate with the V5 and tells his team (including Pariston) that he is prepared to destroy anyone that hinders his journey. Before the Zodiacs can watch another video left by Netero, Cheadle announces that Pariston and Ging have requested to leave the Zodiacs (and she approved both). Lastly, she says that they have been contacted by the V5 to hunt down Beyond.

Author's Note[]

Kakinotane rice cracker snacks are the best, but only with peanuts in a supporting role.
