00:00Meanwhile, Gon had chased down the original monster.
00:03Instead of attacking, he just stared at it.
00:05The monster lunged then, froze when Gon casually said,
00:08You're not the same one from before.
00:10The monster blinked.
00:11How'd you figure that out?
00:12Gon tilted his head.
00:14You look different.
00:15The monster cracked up laughing.
00:17All three of you pass.
00:18The whole thing had been part of the hunter exam.
00:20Killua passed for his terrifying attention to detail and never ignoring red flags.
00:25Lario passed because his field medicine skills were legitimately doctor level.
00:29Gon passed for his inhuman athleticism and instantly spotting the tiny differences between the two creatures.
00:36With that, Gon, Killua, and Lario officially qualified to take the real hunter exam.
00:41A pitch black underground tunnel to thousand meters below the surface.
00:45No one told the applicants how far they had to run or where the finish line was.
00:49All they could do was keep pace with the examiner running ahead of them.
00:52On paper, it was an endurance test.
00:54In reality, it was psychological torture, the uncertainty of an unknown distance.
00:58Crushes most people's spirits.
01:00Two and a half hours and gives 40 kilometers down.
01:03More than half the applicants had already collapsed in the darkness.
01:07The examiner only sped up.
01:09Some chubby analytics nerds suddenly sprinted ahead.
01:12Bragging that based on past data, it's only 50 kilometers total.
01:16Lario, who had been smug and full of energy at the start,
01:19was now soaked in sweat, gasping, and falling apart from the pressure.
01:23Then a little kid on a skateboard zoomed past him.
01:26Lario started screaming about cheating, but before he could finish,
01:29another kid stopped the skateboarder, offered a hand,
01:32and the two realized they shared the exact same birthday.
01:35The skateboard kid, Karapika, ditched the board,
01:38and decided to run side by side with his new birthday twin.
01:41Instant friendship unlocked.
01:43Meanwhile, the stats nerd hit 50 kilometers with no finish line in sight,
01:47got mercilessly roasted by everyone he'd bragged to, and quit on the spot.
01:51Some rich bearded dude started,
01:54openly paying people to carry him the rest of the way.
01:57Classic.
01:57For more hours give 70 kilometers total.
02:00Only about 10% of the original applicants were still moving.
02:04Lario finally broke.
02:05He watched the lead pack disappear into the darkness ahead of him,
02:09and simply stopped running.
02:10The old lady posed the classic impossible question.
02:13If your mother and your girlfriend are both drowning,
02:15and you can only save one, who do you choose?
02:18One guy immediately answered,
02:19My mom, you only get one mother girlfriends can be replaced.
02:23The old lady nodded, smiled, and showed him the path forward, as if he'd passed.
02:27Lario exploded.
02:28There's no right answer to a question like that.
02:31Killua's eyes lit up he instantly, realized what the real test was, and
02:35opened his mouth to explain.
02:37But the old lady cut him off with a glare.
02:39From this moment on, anyone who speaks without permission is disqualified.
02:43Then she hit them with an even worse one.
02:45Your son and your daughter are both kidnapped.
02:48You can only save one.
02:49Which do you pick?
02:50Lario completely lost it.
02:52He snatched up a wooden staff, and started swinging it wildly at the air.
02:56Killua looked genuinely worried.
02:58Even gone froze, his face twisted with real conflict.
03:01With only seconds left on the timer, Lario charged straight at the old lady.
03:06Staff raised to cave her skull in.
03:08Killua tackled him at the last second, and pinned him down.
03:11Once Lario calmed down, Killua quietly explained.
03:14The correct answer was to shut up, and say nothing at all.
03:18The guy who answered first, didn't actually pass the real exit, is that hidden door over.
03:23There, first phase, cleared.
03:25Still, gone sat on the floor long after it was over, staring into space.
03:29He knew silence was the right answer for the test, but if it ever really happened,
03:34what would he actually do?
03:35Under the old lady's guidance, the three boys barely reached the next sight before dark.
03:40The second they pushed the door open, they saw a monster mauling to human guides.
03:44Both guides were already bleeding badly.
03:46The trio didn't dare rush in.
03:48The monster realized it was outnumbered, grabbed a little girl hostage, and smashed through
03:53a window to escape.
03:54Instant split second teamwork.
03:56Lario stayed behind to treat the wounded.
03:59Gone and Killua took off after the monster.
04:01Gone, raised in the mountains, ran like a wild animal, he blew past Killua and caught the
04:06monster in seconds.
04:07One solid hit forced the creature to drop the girl.
04:10Killua slid in and caught her midair.
04:12Gone kept chasing.
04:13Killua, now carrying the girl, noticed a weird tattoo on her wrist and immediately got suspicious.
04:19Lario came jogging up a moment later.
04:21Killua casually asked, how are the injured guys?
04:24Lario answered, stable.
04:26I sedated them, they're sleeping it off.
04:28That was the wrong answer.
04:29Killua spun and smashed Lario across the face with his staff.
04:33The fake Lario laughed, rubbing his cheek.
04:35How'd you know?
04:36Killua sneered.
04:37Real Lario would never leave patients alone and come running off by himself.
04:41Killua then pressed.
04:43His wooden blade against the little girl's throat and ordered her to drop the act.
04:47Lario's legs were screaming, his lungs on fire.
04:50When the two little kids ahead of him suddenly slowed down and stopped just for him.
04:54That tiny act of kindness hit him like a shot of adrenaline.
04:58Something ignited inside him.
04:59In an instant, he turned into Usain Bolt reincarnate.
05:03Blew past Gon and Killua with a roar and charged back toward the front of the pack.
05:07But the tunnel was still pitch black, endless.
05:10Most of the remaining applicants were on the verge of total collapse.
05:13And the examiner?
05:14The guy just smiled and cranked the pace even higher.
05:17Only the truly elite could keep up now.
05:19Another wave of bodies hit the floor, eliminated, fueled by pure spite and memories of a childhood.
05:25Where he watched friends die because he was too poor to save them.
05:29Lario clawed his way back to the front and ended up running shoulder to shoulder.
05:33With a blonde kid he didn't know yet Karapika.
05:36Between gasping breaths, Lario poured his heart out.
05:39He was going to become a hunter, make bank, and make damn sure no one he loved ever died.
05:44Again, just because he couldn't pay the bills.
05:46Karapika's crimson eyes flickered.
05:48The story hit home, hard.
05:50He quietly told Lario about the Kurta clan.
05:53How their eyes turned to breathtaking scarlet when they felt strong emotion one of the seven most beautiful colors in
05:59the world.
06:00How that beauty got his entire clan slaughtered by the phantom troop in a single night.
06:05How the troop gouged out every pair of those scarlet eyes and walked away laughing.
06:09How he's the last survivor and the one who's going to make them pay in blood.
06:13The two were still talking when somehow those same two, 12 year old monsters casually jogged past them again like
06:20it was nothing.
06:21Then, finally, light at the end of the tunnel, the examiner's foot hit the ground outside.
06:25The very next instant, Kalua and Gon crossed the finish line practically tied.
06:30The examiner actually blinked in shock.
06:32These kids were scary.
06:33One by one, the survivors trickled out.
06:36Lario and Karapika dragged themselves across the line on nothing but willpower.
06:40Everyone behind them eliminated without mercy.
06:43The examiner grinned.
06:45Good.
06:45That was just the warm-up.
06:46He explained the rules.
06:48A fog-choked jungle crawling with hyper-aggressive monsters that love the taste of human.
06:53Stay right behind me.
06:54Fall behind even once and you become lunch.
06:57Simple.
06:57Kalua's assassin instincts pinged the second.
07:00They stepped into the mist.
07:01He sniffed the air once, grabbed Gon by the sleeve, and quietly steered him far away from a certain red
07:07-headed clown leaning against a tree, playing with a deck of cards.
07:11Smart move.
07:12Moments later, a pack of cocky applicants decided to surround Hisaka and teach the creepy guy a lesson.
07:18One playing card later, they were all dead heads rolling, blood-painting the trees.
07:22The sole survivor literally peed himself in terror.
07:25And then Hisaka flicked another card through his forehead just to tie up loose ends.
07:29Lario and Kalua, hiding nearby, couldn't even speak.
07:33Hisaka's head slowly turned.
07:34He'd noticed them the entire time.
07:36Kalua's brain went straight into survival mode.
07:39Split up now.
07:40He and Lario bolted in opposite directions.
07:43Hisaka's lips curled into an amused little smile.
07:45Smart, but then against all logic, Lario came charging back, roaring at the top of his lungs, swinging his wooden
07:52staff like a baseball bat.
07:54No way was he gonna run away without doing something.
07:57That's not the kind of man he was.
07:59Hisaka's side stepped lazily, reached out to crush Lario's throat, and a pink fishing hook shot out of nowhere, wrapping
08:05around Hisaka's wrist and yanking his arm away.
08:08Gone.
08:08Gone, panting, had arrived just in time.
08:11Hisaka's eyes sparkled.
08:12Ooh, how interesting.
08:14He dropped Lario still breathing, and started slowly walking toward Gone.
08:17Lario, half conscious, forced himself back up and charged again.
08:21One brutal uppercut later, he was lights out on the ground.
08:25Gone attacked with everything he had fists.
08:27Fishing rod.
08:28Pure 12-year-old rage, but he couldn't land a single hit.
08:31Hisaka toyed with him like a cat with a mouse.
08:34Desperate, Gone whipped his rod, kicked up a huge cloud of dirt,
08:37and used the recoil to rocket around behind Hisaka for a surprise attack.
08:41Hisaka spun, caught Gone by the throat with one hand, and lifted him clean off the ground.
08:46Gone kicked helplessly, turning blue.
08:48Then Hisaka paused, tilted his head, and let go.
08:51Your friend's not dead, he purred, voice dripping with delight.
08:55And you, you pass.
08:56You'll make a delicious sniper one day.
08:58Gone just stared, totally lost.
09:01As Hisaka slung the unconscious Lario over his shoulder, and sauntered off into the mist.
09:06Killua finally caught up, panting.
09:09After making sure Lario was still breathing, he and Gone took off after the main group again.
09:14On the way, Gone kept muttering,
09:15What did he mean we passed?
09:17I didn't do anything.
09:18Killua shrugged.
09:19Guys like Hisaka can smell potential.
09:21He sensed something in you and Lario that's, like him,
09:24killing you right now would be boring.
09:26He wants to wait until you're fully ripened.
09:28Gone blinked.
09:29Ripened.
09:30Yeah, like fruit.
09:31Gone gulped.
09:32Killua smirked despite himself.
09:34The silver-haired, 12-year-old assassin who mastered the rhythm-based assassination art dark sonata.
09:41Before he even hit puberty using footwork, breath, and heartbeat to create afterimages and confuse prey.
09:47Was officially impressed at that?
09:49Insanely advanced assassination footwork Killua was using.
09:53Normal professional killers need 5 to 10 years of brutal, systematic training just to get the basics down.
09:59Killua mastered the whole dark sonata at age 12.
10:02And he makes it look like a casual dance.
10:04Even Chairman Netero, the living legend.
10:06The strongest.
10:07Hunter on the planet watched from the shadows and muttered to himself.
10:11Kids these days are terrifying.
10:13The reason the old man was even playing with them in the first place.
10:17Back on the airship, Gone and Kalua had made a bet with him.
10:20If either of us can touch the ball you're holding before we reach the destination,
10:24we get our hunter licenses on the spot no more exam.
10:27Netero, grinning like a kid himself.
10:29Accepted.
10:29Big mistake for the boys.
10:31The old man might be 110 plus, but he moved like a ghost on rocket skates.
10:36Killua threw every trick in the assassin handbook close lines.
10:40Scissor kicks, afterimages, and never even grazed Netero's clothing.
10:43At one point, he full force kicked Netero's shin and nearly shattered his own leg.
10:48He just stood there hugging his calf, muttering,
10:50Is this guy really human?
10:52Gone took over.
10:53He wound up like a spring and rocketed forward.
10:55Netero saw it coming a mile away.
10:57Except Gone launched himself straight at the ceiling, ricocheted off it, and came down from above.
11:03The move was so unpredictable that even Netero's eyes widened for a split second.
11:07Three straight hours of this.
11:09Tag team attacks, faints, full on blitzes, nothing worked.
11:12Netero barely broke a sweat, guarding the ball with just his left hand and right leg the entire time.
11:18Finally, Gone got creative.
11:20He charged again, but this time he deliberately overcooked it,
11:23Kicked off one shoe mid-sprint, and sent it flying like a missile,
11:26While Netero instinctively swatted the shoe away with his forbidden's right hand.
11:30Killua came in with a flying kick that actually connected,
11:34Sent the old man sliding a good five meters.
11:36For one glorious second, the ball was in the air and unguarded.
11:40Netero's eyes flashed.
11:41He exploded forward, literally left a crater in the floor and smoke pouring off his feet,
11:46And snatched the ball back, before either kid could blink.
11:49Gone's eyes sparkled like stars.
11:51So cool.
11:52Killua, on the other hand, was pissed.
11:54He's been fighting us this whole time, with one hand, and one foot tied behind his back.
11:59We're not even close.
12:00I'm out.
12:01Gone begged him to stay, but Killua just walked off.
12:04Muttering that pride wouldn't let him keep playing a rigged game.
12:07So Gone went one v minus one with the chairman until the airship docked.
12:11Hours of non-stop movement, and somehow Gone was still accelerating.
12:15At one point, he launched a full power headbit straight at Netero's ABS.
12:19The old man realized that, if he tanked it, Gone's skull would crack like an egg.
12:24So he dodged at the last second, using his right hand to redirect the kid into a softer wall.
12:29Gone slammed face first into the wall, and started jumping around cheering.
12:33He'd done it, forced Netero to break his self-imposed rule, and use the right hand.
12:37Mission accomplished.
12:39Sort of.
12:39Meanwhile, Killua was stomping through the corridors, fuming.
12:43Went to random applicants, picked the wrong day to mess.
12:46With him.
12:46Two seconds later, they were unconscious, and stuffed in a closet.
12:50The challenge.
12:51Get from the top of a several hundred meter.
12:53Tower to the ground, within 72 hours.
12:56Some pro rock climber dude immediately decided to free Solo down the outside wall.
13:00He made it about 10 meters before a flock of giant flying.
13:03Monsters swallowed him whole.
13:05Message received.
13:06Outside route equals instant death.
13:08Killua noticed the.
13:09Number of people on the roof kept dropping, even though no one was climbing down.
13:14That meant hidden trap doors.
13:16Sure enough, they found five one-use hatches in the floor, each barely big enough for one person.
13:21No way to know where they led or whether the group would stay together.
13:24Gone.
13:25Killua.
13:25Lario.
13:26Karapaka.
13:27And one extra guy nobody trusted, Tonpa.
13:29The veteran rookie crusher all picked a hatch and jumped at the same time.
13:33Good news.
13:34None of them died on impact.
13:36They all landed in the same giant room.
13:38Bad news.
13:39Now there were five of them.
13:40And the sign on the wall said, from here to the bottom.
13:43Every decision is majority rules.
13:45Four against one.
13:46Three against two doesn't matter.
13:47The minority has to go along.
13:49Or everyone fails.
13:50The room handed out five.
13:52Wrist bands with an O button and an X button.
13:54Instant majority rules voting system.
13:57First arena.
13:58A long platform.
13:59On the opposite side stood five hooded prisoners.
14:01These guys were the proctors for this stage.
14:04The rule was simple.
14:05Three wins out of five.
14:06Best of five.
14:07One on one.
14:08Force your opponent to say I give up.
14:10And you take the point.
14:11The prisoners didn't care about winning.
14:13Every hour they stalled shaved a full year off their sentences.
14:16Dragging all 72 hours meant 72 years off.
14:20They were gonna milk this for everything it was worth.
14:23Round one.
14:23Prisoner.
14:24A bandit doing 199 years.
14:26Tonpa.
14:27The rookie crusher immediately volunteered with a sleazy grin.
14:30The prisoner announced the match type.
14:32Fight to the death or surrender.
14:34No time limit.
14:35Tonpa's eyes lit up.
14:36He thought he was about to get a free kill on the kid's time clock.
14:40The bandit took one step forward.
14:42Tonpa instantly dropped to his knees and screamed I give up.
14:45Match over in 0.8 seconds.
14:48Lerio nearly popped a blood vessel.
14:50Now everyone understood.
14:51Tonpa wasn't here to pass.
14:53He lived to screw over rookies.
14:55This was his life's hobby.
14:56Dot one to zero.
14:57Prisoners.
14:58Round two.
14:59Long candle versus short candle.
15:01Which burns longer.
15:02Gon stepped up.
15:03Normal logic says the longer one.
15:05But Gon knew these guys played dirty.
15:07They could have rigged either candle.
15:09He picked a long one anyway.
15:10And lit it at the same time as the prisoner.
15:1330 seconds later a huge gust of wind roared through the arena.
15:16Gon cupped his flame like his life depended on it.
15:19Then his candle suddenly flared up like a blowtorch.
15:22Obviously laced with accelerant.
15:24At this rate it would burn out in minutes.
15:26The prisoner started smirking.
15:28He'd pre-rigged both candles.
15:29So no matter which one Gon picked.
15:31He was screwed.
15:32Except Gon just grinned wider.
15:34Big flame equals no chance of the wind blowing it out.
15:37He casually strolled over.
15:39Used his giant flame to light the prisoner's tiny normal candle.
15:42Then blew the guy's flame out with own puff.
15:45Gon won.
15:45Prisoners won.
15:46Round three.
15:47Prisoner.
15:47A seven foot con artist named Blue Giant.
15:50Zocco 108 year sentence.
15:52Karapika volunteered.
15:54Ice cold.
15:54Zocco immediately declared the same rule as round one.
15:57Deathmatch.
15:58No surrender accepted unless someone's dead.
16:01Or says the words.
16:02Then he started flexing.
16:03Muscles ballooning like a damn bodybuilder.
16:05Looking straight up terrifying.
16:07Lario was sweating bullets for Karapika.
16:09Killua just rolled his eyes.
16:11Total bluff.
16:12This guy had never actually killed anyone in his life.
16:15Zocco leapt.
16:16Smashed the reinforced floor with a steel lined fist.
16:19And left a crater just to show off.
16:21Then he turned around and flashed a fake.
16:24Phantom troop spider tattoo on his back.
16:26The most feared crime syndicate in the world.
16:29He started trash talking.
16:30100% sure Karapika would freeze or surrender.
16:34He was wrong.
16:35Karapika's eyes flashed scarlet.
16:37In the time it takes to blink.
16:38Zocco was off the ground.
16:40Lifted by one hand around his throat.
16:42Didn't matter how much the guy begged.
16:44Karapika smashed him into the floor.
16:46Once hard.
16:47Lights out.
16:48Everyone thought it was over.
16:49Until the next prisoner calmly pointed out.
16:52Deathmatch rules.
16:53He's not dead.
16:54And he never said he surrenders.
16:56Match is still going.
16:57Lario turned to Karapika.
16:59Dead serious.
17:00Finish it.
17:00Karapika stared at the unconscious fraud.
17:03Chains rattling around his fingers.
17:05Scarlet eyes burning with pure hate.
17:07The whole arena went dead silent.
17:09Karapika refused to finish the unconscious Zocco.
17:12He's already beaten.
17:13Killing a man who's lost the will to fight isn't justice.
17:16So they waited.
17:17And waited.
17:18Hours passed.
17:19Zocco didn't wake up.
17:20Lario was convinced the guy was faking.
17:23But the prisoner smelled blood in the water.
17:25And proposed a new side bet using everyone's remaining time as chips.
17:29That's how the fourth match turned into a straight up gambling duel against Lipper,
17:34the cross-dressing prisoner with the angelic face and devilish brain.
17:3750 hours each to start.
17:3910 hour minimum base.
17:41Bet one.
17:41Is Zocco alive or dead?
17:43Lario checked the pulse himself still breathing.
17:45120 hours.
17:46Bet two.
17:47Real coma or faking?
17:48Lipper went all in on real coma.
17:51Lario dragged Zocco to the edge of the platform and threatened to drop him.
17:54Zocco's eyes snapped open instantly.
17:57Lipper laughed and flipped her bet at the last second cleanly took 60 hours.
18:01Then came the infamous guess my.
18:03Gender round.
18:04Lario.
18:04Bet mail on pure confidence.
18:06Lipper was, of course, a woman.
18:08Lario lost another chunk, but walked away.
18:10Grinning he'd gotten a very thorough hands on inspection.
18:14To confirm it.
18:15Final gamble.
18:16Rock, paper, scissors.
18:17Best of however many it takes.
18:19Lipper bet literally everything she had left that she'd never lose.
18:22First throw.
18:23Both rock.
18:24Tie.
18:24Lipper smirked and admitted she threw the tie.
18:27On purpose every second of delay.
18:29Was another second off her sentence?
18:31She then promised every single remaining throw would also be a tie.
18:35Lario panicked.
18:36Overthought it.
18:36And stuck with rock out of nerves.
18:38Lipper threw paper.
18:39Match.
18:40Bracket.
18:40And gambling duel all tied.
18:42To dash to dot K-I-L-L-U-A versus Jones the I'll rip your heart out guy.
18:46Jones spent 10 seconds trash talking.
18:49That was 9 seconds to long.
18:51Killua was already behind him.
18:53One flick of the wrist.
18:54And Jones was staring down at his own still beating heart in Killua's palm.
18:58He collapsed before the pain even hit.
19:003-2.
19:01Trick tower cleared.
19:02But because of Leorio's gambling losses.
19:04The group now had to burn 50 hours in a holding cell before they could leave.
19:09When the door finally opened.
19:11Less than 10 hours remained on the 72 hour clock.
19:14They sprinted.
19:15Fought.
19:15And bulldozed through the rest of the tower.
19:17To paths to the ground.
19:19Long path.
19:19All five can go together.
19:21But it takes 45 plus hours impossible.
19:24Short path.
19:25Only three people fit.
19:26Takes three minutes.
19:27The two left behind are eliminated.
19:29Weapons were conveniently laid out to help you decide.
19:32Tonpa immediately swung an axe at Leorio's head blaming him for the time loss.
19:37The axe missed and cracked the wall instead.
19:39Gon's eyes lit up.
19:41Two seconds before time expired.
19:43All five of them stepped out the exit together.
19:45How?
19:45They never actually picked a path.
19:47They just used the free weapons to smash.
19:50A brand new hole straight through the wall.
19:52From the long path into the short.
19:54Path and strolled out as a full team.
19:56Cheating.
19:57Technically.
19:57Within the rules.
19:58Absolutely.
20:00Examiners couldn't do anything but laugh and stamp them.
20:03Pass dot one on one knockout bracket with a twist.
20:06You only need to win one match to earn your hunter license.
20:09The single person who makes it to the very top of the tournament.
20:12Champion fails and goes home.
20:14Empty handed.
20:15It's designed to force.
20:16People to choose between personal.
20:18Ambition and holding back for the license.
20:21Everything allowed except killing or permanently maiming your opponent.
20:24First fight of the bracket.
20:26Gon versus.
20:26Hanzo ninja dude from Japan.
20:29Match lasted about four seconds.
20:31Hanzo opened with a chop to the neck.
20:33Gon dropped like a sack of bricks.
20:35Out cold.
