Original subtitles

Igokochi no ii sonna basho ni zutto ite mo

If I always stayed in this comfortable place,

hohoemi sae kumo no you ni kiete yuku

my smile would disappear like a cloud.

Kono hageshii kaze no naka de tachidomatte

There is no way I can stop and stand,

iru koto nado dekinai no sa

in this harsh wind.

Yume wo egaku dake de, hashiridasanakereba

If you just picture your dream, but don't take off running,

nani mo hajimari wa shinai kara

nothing will start.

Ashita ni wa nani ga machi uketeiru no ka

I wonder what will be waiting tomorrow.

Ima wa shiranai, tashikametai

Right now I don't know. I want to find out.

Kibou no kakera wo POCKET ni tsumekomi

Stuff that fragment of hope into your pocket.

Sora no kanata he yukou

and let's go to the place beyond the sky.

Masadora x Rush x Bomber

Okay, we’re going to head for Masadora!

– Osu! – Osu!

About 70 kilometers to go in oh, say, three hours? Should be a breeze.

Hey... three hours?! Are you serious?!

Of course.

– Number nine! – Number nine!

Correct!

But that took way too long!

200 push-ups for both of you.

What?!

Damn.

So, when we reach Masadora...

we can finally buy some spell cards, right?

Yup.

We’ll need to get some cash first.

Hey. If you keep on talking we won’t make it in three hours.

A village, huh?

More like a campsite.

This town’s empty.

Hurry up you two!

Oh! That must be it!

Bisky’s late...

All this right after we arrive?

Geez, where the hell did she wander off to?

Thanks for waiting!

Bisky, your hair...

What do you think? I tried changing my image.

Yeah, it suits you.

What’s the point in a hag getting glamorous?

This brat... well, since I’m in a good mood today I’ll forgive him.

Now then, let’s go!

I wonder where we can buy spell cards?

Hey, you two. Help me look for a department store.

A department store?

What are you buying?

It’s. A. Secret.

Ah, I see. Thank you.

Where’s Bisky?

Let’s see... ah, over there!

Bisky! We found the spell card shop.

Good. Are you tired?

– Not at all! – Not at all!

Okay, we’re heading back to the badlands.

– What?! – What?!

What the heck for?!

What about spell cards?

What? You don’t need them for training.

It’s not like we’re carrying valuable cards.

Well... that’s true...

All right! We’ll make the return trip in two and a half hours!

– What?! – What?!

C’mon, let’s get started.

Gain!

Now we’ll head for Masadora.

Didn’t we just get back from there?! Has she gone senile?

But... this time, we’ll literally head straight for it!

Um... and the rocks? Let me guess...

What about the mountains?

You’ll dig through them.

It’s softer than I thought.

Yeah. We can move at a good clip.

I gotta put my whole body into this!

And it feels like the rock’s getting harder and harder...

It takes a lot of leg and arm strength, or it’ll tip over!

We’re through...

I can’t... move anymore...

We’ve only advanced 200 meters...

You sure?!

Then why am I 100 times more tired...

Hold it!

Sit up if you’re going to rest.

So that’s why you bought the rope, huh.

This is how you’ll sleep.

Don’t let go of the rope.

If we let go, the rock will smash us.

Exactly.

I’ll also throw this knife to cut the rope once in a while, throughout the night.

Keep a part of your brain ever vigilant, even at rest.

I used to do this at home.

How does he do it?

Okay.

Put it back up yourself.

Damn it...

Okay, keep my hold this time...

Ow!

Yow!

Ouch!

Take it easy, Gon.

You didn’t sleep a wink?

I’m fine...

The rocks will get bigger each day.

Gon, I gave you extra because you weren’t taking it seriously enough.

It won’t be too bad... yet.

What’s wrong?

I’ve hit really hard rock.

Can you get through?

Probably not with a shovel.

Maybe with a Nen punch...

Killua! How was your aura while you were digging?!

Aura?

How else? Normal.

Not like that. Think of the shovel as an extension of your body!

Of my body... oh!

Get it?!

I see!

Envelop the shovel with aura, and the digging will be enhanced!

With this...

Yeah!

Wow, it’s like... the rock is made of custard!

They’ve discovered Shu, enfold.

But advanced applications use up more energy.

Get carried away and...

What happened?

I can’t move... or even produce any aura...

This training will improve muscle strength, stamina, willpower, and technique.

By the time they reach Masadora...

They’ll have completed the first phase.

– Here we go! – Here we go!

We’re through!

Good job!

We must’ve done 5 kilometers today!

It seemed so hopeless at first!

We’ll make it...

In a few more days!

Woohoo!

We got to Masadora!

Okay!

Back to the same place again!

– Again?! – Again?!

This time, we’re going to collect monster cards.

That’s every kind of monster we’ve seen in this region.

None of them should be impossible for you.

If you’re lacking in something...

it’s the ability to observe and analyze, and to think on your feet.

You need combat analysis skills.

I won’t give out any advice.

You’ll have to figure things out for yourself.

This game’s creators are pretty ingenious. It’s programmed...

so that the player is guaranteed to get stronger

if they play the game in the intended order.

All of it...

is to train his son...

Zetsu!

Gotcha!

Got the Bubble Horse!

Yeah!

– I’d guessed it would take about a month. – Look, look, Killua I finally got it!

– We’re right on schedule. – Though it took some time...

Now then, we’ll start to train in defense!

– Osu! – Osu!

That’s...

Yes, Gon. This is the move you’re using.

This application uses Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, and Gyo.

Ko (temper)!

– Ko... – Ko...

Focus all your aura into one part of your body.

That makes it far more destructive.

And this is how I’ll attack you.

You will block and defend. You are not allowed to dodge.

Nervous? You should be.

Even if you block normally, you will get seriously hurt.

We use Ko, too!

Well... half correct.

Ko vs. Ko.

Unless the disparity in power is too great, a well-executed block will protect you.

But if you get hit somewhere else, you’ll end up dead.

Use Ko for your whole body.

Sounds contradictory, but...

Yes.

An application of Ten and Ren: Ken (fortify).

Envelop your body with a greater amount of aura than normal.

Gon, do Ren.

Ken is maintaining this state.

Stay that way and block my punch.

Why so slow...

You relaxed because it was slow.

If you had lost your Ken, I would’ve smashed your face in.

This is how it feels with Ko alone.

Add the fist’s intrinsic power and speed,

and the attack will be far more destructive.

I’ll go slowly at first, but you won’t get a warning.

Try to maintain Ken as long as you can.

Gon...

I never knew... it was so hard to maintain Ren!

If you want to fight anyone who matters...

you’d have to maintain Ken for at least 30 minutes.

30 minutes?!

You were at about two minutes.

Damn it!

Okay, that was 30 minutes.

You’ve gotten a lot tougher in one month.

We’ll start to practice real combat today.

This is an even split between offense and defense.

Using Gyo, change the ratio of offense and defense to suit your situation.

These are the basics of combat you’ll have to learn.

This is Ryu (flow).

Try it slowly at first.

Right leg 70%!

Body 30%!

Gon, left hand 70%!

Body 30%!

Now, try to manage on your own.

It’s important to know your opponent’s distribution.

Time for a break!

– Thank you! – Thank you!

It’s been two weeks... nice progress.

I thought it would take two months.

We can go to the final phase now!

Final phase?!

Training by type of Nen.

Gon is an Enhancer.

Killua is a Transmuter, right?

Enhancement exercise, level one. Breaking rocks.

Break rocks with another rock.

You pass when you can smash 1,000 rocks with one rock in one day.

Begin!

Drat. I got up to 150.

189!

190!

Argh! Damn it, I failed!

What are you talking about? It usually takes weeks to get over 100 rocks.

All right!

Let’s do a Transmuter exercise next.

Don’t be hasty.

As a rule, only work on one type a day.

– Six! – Six!

Correct!

Another tie.

Again?

We’ve had ties for a while.

All right!

Rock-paper-scissors?

You’re on!

The loser does 500 push-ups and sit-ups.

– Rock-paper-scissors! Again! – Rock-paper-scissors! Again!

I won!

Damn it!

Hey, did you know that rock-paper-scissors is based on martial arts principles?

Palm is paper.

Knuckles, scissors.

Fist, rock.

A palm strike shocks internal organs. Knuckles for vital points.

A punch causes muscle and bone damage.

I see.

Old people know a lot of stu--

A long time ago... martial arts were called “Jaken,” or evil fist, and considered so destructive

that they were completely forbidden. But masters were able to continue their training by pretending to play.

And that’s how many people think “Janken,” or rock-paper-scissors, first came to be.

That’s it!

Evil fist!

We’ve analyzed the composition of the rocks we brought back.

The eco-climate is right, and the location is isolated from all commercial sea routes.

Taking all of that into consideration, this is no doubt...

Greed Island.

It really exists in real life.

So... where are we on the island?

Let’s steal an Accompany so we can go somewhere.

It’s been years since we’ve had an uninvited guest.

It makes me nervous.

I just want to make sure--you’re not castaways, are you?

It’s impossible to accidentally drift to this island due to the currents.

This guy’s tough.

Who are you?

Our guide?

One of the game’s creators.

My name’s Razor.

Creator?

I’m in charge of Emissive systems.

I make most spells work.

This is a special spell that can only be used by a Game Master.

“Send everyone who trespasses on Greed Island through wrongful means...

somewhere on the Azian continent.”

A cheat for a cheat. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to leave.

What?

We’ll welcome you back as long as you arrive the right way.

There’s an item you can get by fighting me,

so I’m sure we’ll meet again if you play.

Fine, we’ll be back.

Through the front door next time.

Eliminate on.

That was some group.

First comes rock...

Rock... paper... rock!

I see.

So? Good enough, don’t you think?

Gentlemen.

We currently have 133 specified slot cards of 90 types in this room.

This is the result of all your efforts. Well done, everyone.

Of the remaining ten cards, we know the locations of seven.

They’re within our reach.

We only have one rival team.

But we have better spell cards, and more of them.

Our victory is close at hand!

– Yeah! – Yeah!

There is strength in unity!

Success will be thanks to you!

– Yeah! – Yeah!

Can I put in a word?

Five long years...

It seems to have flown by...

There’s something... I have to say to all of you at this time.

I’m the Bomber.

H-Hey, what--

Hear me out.

Now, here’s the thing.

I’ve planted bombs on all of your bodies.

– Huh?! – Huh?!

So I have a proposal. I’d like to exchange the 90 specified slot cards for your lives.

Next Episode

Oh yeah! Killua, I forgot!

You have to register immediately!

Next time on Hunter X Hunter:

“Without Nen X New Year X Hunter Exam”!

But, how do you get there?

Nee, moshimo kono sekai de kimi to boku ga deaenakatta nara

Hey, if by chance you and I hadn't met in this world.

Yume wo shinjiru koto wo kitto boku wa shiranai mamade itanda

I'd surely have remained without ever knowing what it meant to believe in a dream.

Thank you, best of my friend.

Chikazuiteiru tabidachi no toki

The time to journey is approaching.

Wakarete yuku sorezore no michi

Our separate paths go in different directions.

Kimi wa oshiete kureta

You taught me,

Donna toki demo waratte yuku koto

to always keep smiling, no matter what.

Nee, moshimo kono sekai de kimi to boku ga deaenakatta nara

Hey, if by chance you and I hadn't met in this world.

Yume wo shinjiru koto wo kitto boku wa shiranai mamade itanda

I'd surely have remained without ever knowing what it meant to believe in a dream.

Thank you, best of my friend.
