Original subtitles

Donna yume nara oikakeru no?

What kind of dreams will you pursue?

Kimi ga tsubuya kumi tai ni yuu

You seem to just mutter away the answer.

Tooi saki datta mirai wa ima sugu soba wo,

The future which seemed so very distant,

hashi ite yuku

is running alongside me now.

Mienai koede saken deta

Crying out to me in a voice that can't be heard.

Kizutsu ita karada ima tokashi tai

I want to melt away my scarred body right now.

Kono itami wa tada watashi wo kiri saite,

This pain within just tears me apart,

ashita wo unarau inori ga todoku made

And until my prayer which foretells tomorrow is heard...

I pray every night and day...

Let’s go, Killua.

That’s my dad’s logic.

I’m not an assassin anymore.

I’m a Hunter!

Ren x Exam x Everyone's First Step

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting.

The Greed Island tryouts will now begin.

We’ll be selecting players for the six cartridges won at this auction.

Six sets? Wasn’t it seven?

Didn’t you know? One of them was stolen.

You have already fulfilled the first criteria...

to come up with the 12 million Jenny for admission to the Southernbees auction.

You must also already be aware that Nen is a requirement to play this game.

We will decide whether you pass or fail by evaluating your Nen, one at a time.

Our decision will be final. Your judge will be Tsezguerra, pro Hunter!

Jackpot Hunter Tsezguerra...

He openly admits that all his hunts are for financial gain,

yet his achievements have earned him Single-Star status.

If he’s involved...

The payoff must be huge...

So, let us begin right away.

You will come up here one at a time and show me your Ren.

The stage will be cordoned off by shutters and a curtain, so nobody else will see.

We will end the tryouts when we reach our maximum of 32 people.

If you’d like to participate, please step this way.

You’re first up.

Next person, please enter.

Next, please enter.

Next person, please enter.

Odd... ten people have gone in, but none have come out.

Were all of them accepted?

Should we line up, too?

Sad, just sad. Those guys won’t make it.

The guys in line now and the guys around them.

Especially the loiterers, what are they waiting for?

For the rejects to return so they can quiz them on how it went?

If they’d done their research on the game ahead of time,

common sense would’ve told them standing in line is pointless.

A grand total of 32 people can play Greed Island

with the consoles Battera won at the auction.

But would Battera want to fill all 32 slots?

Naturally, you’d want to leave a bunch of empty slots,

in case more talented challengers show up in the future.

I’d bet they’d only hire about 20 people today.

The guys in line now are obviously not good enough.

The contenders are the ones who got up first,

and the ones who knew to stay in their seats, like us.

Right? Kiddo?

Nah, I wasn’t thinking that far ahead.

I just figured their standards were high

enough that less than 32 would make the cut.

And from Mr. Battera’s point of view, since we’re

here, it’s common courtesy to interview all of us.

You’re right, kiddo.

Not bad for a kid your age. You go by what you think is right,

and that isn’t easy to do. It’s hard to commit to your own logic.

When the path’s full of risks,

sometimes you need to turn half your brain off.

Or you’d never be able to take the plunge.

This thing really won’t break.

Phinks and Feitan are still playing the game right now, aren’t they?

Are they children? How long do they have to play before they’ll be satisfied?

They couldn’t come back right now, even if they wanted to.

It seems that getting back from the game isn’t an easy feat.

There are a lot of players that live their lives in the

game, and give up on ever coming back to the real world.

Live their lives in the game?

Meaning it’s a virtual reality that is indistinguishable from the real world.

I hope they don’t end up like that.

My name’s Puhat. Nice to meet ya.

Next please.

That’d be me.

Next please.

I’ll go first, Gon.

Killua!

Good luck!

Listen up, Killua!

Okay. Show me your Ren.

Is Hatsu okay instead?

Of course.

“Show me your Ren” is Hunter code for, “show me the fruits of your training.”

In other words, you’re showing me how strong you are.

When you literally showed me your Ren, I didn’t know what to say.

I only need to know what you’re capable of.

Show me there’s more to you than what I saw before.

Okay... here I go!

Well? Want to see more?

No, that’s fine. You make the cut.

Yes!

It’s possible, but... he couldn’t have learned it in four days!

You turned your aura into electricity. How in the world did you do it?

It can’t be done overnight. You’d need years of

exposure to electric shocks at torture level.

Electric shocks?

I’ve been exposed to them since I was a baby.

Family circumstances, you see.

I see, so the ones who made the cut...

were the ones who got up first and the ones who knew to stay in their seats.

Six so far.

Seven...

Now, show me how strong you are.

Osu!

Gon!

Killua!

Oh good! You passed too!

Duh! Was that you?

Yeah.

I fear what he’ll grow up to be.

Is that your special attack? What is it?

It’s. A. Secret.

Don’t be stingy! Tell me!

You didn’t tell me either, Killua!

Now... congratulations are in order.

You 21 have won the right to play Greed Island.

Mr. Battera will pay you 50 billion for clearing the game.

The details are in this contract.

We will leave Yorknew at 5 P.M.

Read and sign the contract, get your affairs in

order, and assemble at Tarsetol Station Central Exit.

– Cheers! – Cheers!

You’ve cleared the first hurdle.

Paying 50 billion for clearing a game...

What are these rich folks like Battera thinking?

It all comes down to love.

But why be so obsessed over this game?

You’re spending a vast sum of money on it.

I’m a very possessive man, you see.

When you fall in love with something, you naturally want to have it to yourself.

It’s nothing compared to the money I’ve

already spent, and the reward I’m offering

for finishing the game. But nobody else needs to know that.

There are thee main points.

1) You can’t sue if you get hurt or killed.

2) Battera will have the rights to everything you carry out of the game.

3) You get 50 billion for clearing the game.

Sign if you’re okay with this.

You okay?

Yeah.

Well, time to get going.

Good luck on your exams, Leorio.

Thanks. You guys be careful.

I think that you guys will be okay together, but you can’t be certain.

We’ll be fine.

Leorio!

You’ll be a doctor the next time we meet!

Are you saying we won’t see each other for four years?

I bet you’d make a great teacher, or a doctor.

I’d better study...

Let’s go!

Yeah.

One thing’s for sure.

This thing you can bring back from the game...

That must be what Battera wants at all costs.

Shizuku, Kortopi. Got a minute?

Greed Island?

Yeah. Want to go with me?

You don’t have anything to do back home anyway.

But you can only save two more people.

Actually, it’s not to clear the game.

Does it have to do with what we do?

Kind of. Besides, you and I might be safer in there this week.

Okay.

We’ll go.

This train has been chartered?

They’re being extra careful now.

I guess this is goodbye, Yorknew.

So, before we begin...

The games aren’t independent of each other.

You’ll end up in the same place.

Similar to a M.M.O.R.P.G., where players from around

the world play together in the same virtual area.

What does that mean?

It’s hard to explain to someone who’s never played video games.

Basically, everyone can play in the same space.

Huh? Isn’t that obvious? The consoles are right here.

That’s not what he means...

I’ll hand out the memory cards...

though most of you probably have your own. You can begin playing right away,

but we need to choose the order you’ll go in.

You will first get an explanation of the system,

but only one person can hear it at a time.

So we’d have to wait inside if we start at once.

Right.

We’ll choose out here so you won’t have to argue inside.

Make rock, paper, or scissors. The minority moves on to the next round.

Agreed!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Yes!

I’m 17th...

So you’ll go first. Oh, don’t you have a save file already?

Yeah.

Are you going to use it?

No matter what point it’s been saved at,

you’ll end up in the same place as the others.

First off, put your ring on.

Ging... I think I’ll finally get a little closer to you.

A life or death game...

I don’t know what’s inside, but this is the message you left me.

I’ll trust you!

This one is your Greed Island.

There’s no way he’s more advanced than me.

Start it up when you’re ready.

Gon! Wait for me at the starting point.

Yeah!

Ooh!

The next one can go once the screen says, “Now Playing.”

Gon!

I’m coming... Ging!

Next Episode

We are finally in Greed Island!

Ging... will I find you here?

Next time on Hunter X Hunter:

“Start X Spell X Town of Prizes”!

“Book” and “Gain”?

Yakusoku noiikan sugita no ni...

Since our promised time has passed by...

ayamaru yousu mo nakute

there's no sign of an apology.

Tsuki hi ga tattemo, hito wa...

Even as time passes by, people...

hikari ni kawaranai yo ne

never seem to be changed by the light

Ano hi ni oki wasureta kioku ga kyuu ni...

One day the forgotten memories iust suddenly...

POPCORN mitai ni hajiketa

burst out like popcorn.

Nakanakutemo ii janai

You don't have to cry.

Hisashiburi ni aeta karatte

Even though it's been a while since we met

Donna toki mo kimi no koto...

I'll never be able to...

wasureru hazu mo nai...

Never again forget about you...

datte itsumo sou kimi ga,

because you were always there,

providing me with so much courage.
