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.

Encounter x Chrollo x Gold Dust Maiden

My license is the same as Gon’s...

I’d hoped that mine would be gold or platinum.

Welcome back, Killua!

That was fast!

Duh, I passed! It took more time getting back!

It was a piece of cake!

Back to business...

Could you look at our spells?

Ooh! You got a lot!

So have you cast any?

Just Blackout Curtain. We weren’t sure how the rest worked.

What? We have spells, we might as well cast ’em.

We should get used to it, or we’ll choke when there’s real trouble.

I guess you’re right.

Try casting this one.

Contact?

Yeah. You can talk to one other player that you’ve

met before for a maximum of three minutes.

Check out how many people you’ve met.

Here goes.

Contact on!

Lemme see.

Ooh... quite a lot.

Hey, Gon...

When did you come across him?

Chrollo Lusilfer...

Chrollo?! I haven’t seen him in the game...

Umm... what are you talking about? Who’s “Chrollo”?

Then you passed him without seeing him.

– But Kurapika sealed his Nen. – Who’s Kurapika?

– Yeah... he can’t enter the game without Nen. – Who’s Kurapika?

That means...

Tell me what’s going on!

Sure. There are ways to remove Nen.

Really?

Why not? If Nen can affect people, it’s not so strange

that there are abilities to remove that effect.

Well, yeah.

It’s called exorcism.

But there are few who can do it.

So Chrollo must’ve removed Kurapika’s Nen...

But what’s he doing here?

I have no idea...

But we better tell Kurapika.

Yeah.

All right, I’ll hop out once more.

We have a Leave.

Keep it, I’ll be back in four hours.

Later!

Be careful, Killua!

Of course... now I understand.

Hey, Shal! Stop laughing and explain!

Sorry.

This probably isn’t the boss.

Are you sure?

Of course.

There is a chance he’s here...

and we passed within 20 meters without noticing each other.

But there’s a better explanation.

The boss’s Nen is still sealed.

And he came here without knowing it was Greed Island.

Book.

What do you mean?

Why didn’t I notice before?

Greed Island is due east of Yorknew.

His fortune...

“Amuse yourself with the entr’acte.

Seek out new friends once in a bind.

Perhaps to the east, one can be tracked.

The one most needed you’re sure to find.”

I get it!

He ended up here looking for the exorcist.

He came by sea just like we did...

and Razor teleported him off.

Then he realized this was Greed Island.

I see. Since he can’t use Nen...

That’s right. He can’t get here the legitimate way.

So he hired someone to play the game in his stead.

So, that means...

The exorcist is on Greed Island.

Our goals changed again.

Let’s bring the others here, too.

Yeah, we should all look for this exorcist.

When we find him, we hand him over to this “Chrollo.”

A small correction.

You!

Hisoka!

It was my idea to use Chrollo’s name.

I didn’t know I didn’t have to use my own name until I got inside.

Don’t you think I got the point across well?

Bastard!

You be quiet!

Just do what you’re supposed to do!

I know what you’re after!

I’d like to kill you now... but I’ll leave that to the boss!

Cast Contact to talk.

I’ll let you know if I find anything.

Bye!

So the boss hired Hisoka, meh.

It’s strange, but we can’t do anything about it...

His reward is probably a post-exorcism duel.

But now it’s only a matter of time until the boss is back.

I don’t think so.

I would know if and when he... or any Spider... removes my Nen.

You took it into account when you set up your ability?

Of course.

It’s only natural to assume abilities that could remove Nen exist as well.

Well, I let you know.

You’re on your own.

Thanks for taking the trouble.

No problem.

Bye.

It’s not Chrollo...

But it’s not unrelated.

Why? Why won’t it come out anymore?

Yes sir?

What am I supposed to do this month?!

Tell me, what should I do?!

It’s fine. Leave everything to me.

What do you know?!

You have no idea what will happen in the future!

Neon! Get Neon back to normal! Now!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it...

Why did this happen?!

What’d he say?

He’s not the real Chrollo.

Oh...

But Kurapika sounded unfazed.

He didn’t react much at all.

Guess we didn’t have to worry after all, huh?

Okay, back to focusing on your own issues!

Osu!

Gon, why don’t you show Killua your signature move?

First comes rock!

Rock, paper... paper!

Next.

First comes rock!

Rock, paper... scissors!

Yes! I did it! I did it!

Is this your first success?!

No, it’s my fifth!

And how many failures?

My success rate’s getting better!

It’s now one in ten, I think!

By the way, do you have to yell those words every time?

“First comes rock! Rock, paper,” you know.

Huh? Sure. Otherwise it’s not like a special attack.

Maybe...

But you’re telegraphing to the enemy.

You’d be wide open.

What if you get attacked while you’re yelling?

I’ll dodge and say it.

What if you can’t?

I’ll still say it!

Huh?!

You’re okay with this?!

– Sure, I have some misgivings. – First comes rock! Rock, paper...

– But he likes it. That’s important. – First comes rock!

Rock, paper... paper!

It’s actually quite logical.

And his opponents will hate it.

Having the options of close, mid-range, and

long-range attacks will be flexible and effective.

It’ll be quite formidable with improvement.

What about you?

Me?

I decided on this.

I see.

This and electricity... good idea.

It’ll be a good weapon.

Isn’t it?

I’m thinking up lots of ways to use ’em!

One more time!

First comes rock!

– Gon, stop! – Rock, paper...

You guys have done well!

Let’s get started then, actually playing the game.

What do you think?

Isn’t it huge?

Yeah.

Yeah.

My neck is stiffing up.

The legendary King White Stag Beetle lives here.

It usually stays deep within its colony, and you can’t even see it.

Only one way to catch one.

Knock it out of the tree at dusk, the only time it comes out!

Aren’t there other ways?

Like traps?

That’s the way the game goes.

You have to hit it here pretty hard.

Meager strength won’t shake this tree, though.

Only seven people have succeeded.

That’s quite a few!

Thousands more have tried.

There’s nobody around. Go all out.

Okay.

Hey, hey, bare hands? Don’t you want to use the hammer?

I don’t need it.

First comes rock!

Rock, paper... rock!

It’s raining bugs!

What a haul!

Rhino beetles and praying mantises!

Found it!

The King White Stag Beetle!

Another one!

I got one!

The King White Stag Beetle! Three of them!

I’ve been a ranger for years...

You’re the first to get three in one shot.

I eased off though.

If I went all out, I was afraid I’d hurt the tree.

All right.

Let’s get more of this card while we’re here.

We could use ’em for trading.

He said only seven have succeeded.

There must be plenty of people who’ve tried and failed.

I see.

Oh well.

Only the first three converted into cards even though the limit is 30.

The other seven players must’ve had the same idea.

Okay!

On to the next one!

A girl’s being held captive here?

Kids, what proof do you have?

If you try to sneak in, innumerable traps will thwart you.

You’ll be dead before you even find the girl’s room.

I thought he wanted proof?

He contradicted himself, to encourage you to try your luck.

Hey! Found her in a secret room in B4.

What?!

How did you get past the traps?!

Those were traps? Seemed like rides.

Why you...

Got the Gold Dust Girl! First of the Girl series!

That’s a rank A card.

The guard’s rank F.

Now we head south from the shiso tree.

There are three cards at Dorias, the Gambling Town.

When’d you find all this out?

I wasn’t doing nothing while you guys practiced.

People want to show a cute little girl how much they know!

“I want to leave, but I don’t have any cards to trade with...”

They gave me all the info I wanted!

Isn’t tomorrow the 15th?

What happens on the 15th?

The monthly Antokiba tournament!

It’s on the way, Biscuit!

This time we have plenty of defensive spells!

The winners are... Killua and Gon!

The Paladin’s Necklace! It’s ours!

What does it do?

The text doesn’t explain much.

Let’s ask at a trade shop.

It casts Reflect on you as long as you’re wearing it.

You can also revert cards cursed by Clone and Fake by touching them.

That means...

We won’t have to worry about having our cards stolen!

We have nothing to fear!

Off to Dorias, the Gambling Town!

– Yeah! – Yeah!

– Witch’s Love Potion! – Witch’s Love Potion!

– Memory Helmet! – Memory Helmet!

– Risky Dice! – Risky Dice!

– We got them all! – We got them all!

We did it!

Easy money!

– All right! Let’s keep up the pace! – Easy? Not at all.

It was only possible through three months of backbreaking effort.

We can get a specified slot card as a prize in the slots.

You win when you get a three-seven.

However, we have a 0.01% chance.

The odds of winning are 1 in 10,000.

At 50 Jenny per turn, on average you’d spend 500,000 Jenny...

There’s too much luck involved.

Yeah, a lot of risk.

Risk...

Gon, those dice!

The Risky Dice! Hand it over.

C’mon baby!

Good! Now spin the slots!

Yes!

Amazing!

On the first try!

Got the Rainbow Diamond!

I knew it, these dice are the key to winning in this city.

But it’s scary to think of the “Worst Luck” scenario.

Don’t worry!

It’s only a 5% chance!

And it’s not like I’d die....

Oh no! A slot machine blew up in the guy’s face!

That machine paid out five times in a row! Something was wrong with it!

He kept mumbling, “just once more,” while rolling some weird die!

Did you hear that? Stop while we’re ahead...

No! I’m gonna go through with it!

He’s the type to self-destruct. Like in Yorknew.

We can drag him away if we have to.

I won! Yay!

Got the Fledgling Gambler!

That’s it for the dice.

Just once more...

Let’s sell the extra dice.

Yeah!

Off to the next town!

Next Episode

Woah, Killua! Someone’s trying to talk to us through the binder!

Next time on Hunter X Hunter:

“Contact X Razor X A United Front”!

Huh... so this is Contact...

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

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