No one knows how strong of a Nen user Ging is, but Netero considers him to be one of the strongest Nen users around. Ging's Nen ability was best displayed when he played pip-play - a game where one moves their aura around to perform tricks - and after he defeated a very strong Nen user in Razor. Zeno Zoldyck is Killua's grandfather, Silva's father, and a professional assassin who is highly experienced in Nen.
He is very quick in battle and still has a sharp mind despite his old age. A violent man who prides himself in being an assassin, Zeno considered killing to be a job for him. Zeno is a Transmuter who can summon dragons for either transport or battling purposes. He is also skilled in Emission, being able to expand his Nen and have his aura constructs exist from many kilometers away. His theoretical understanding of Nen is also a huge asset, as it allowed him to identify Chrollo's Nen type.
Neferpitou also known as Pitou is perhaps the strongest Nen user out of the three, despite their cat-like and playful mannerisms. Hidden underneath that playfulness, however, is a rather cruel personality.
A Specialist with the Doctor Blithe ability, Pitou was born with the ability to control their Aura Nodes and an extremely high amount of aura. They have a learning speed far greater than a human's, allowing them to create Nen abilities on the fly. Pitou is so strong, they fought and killed pro hunter Kite with only a few injuries. The oldest living member in the Zoldyck family, Maha is the only Zoldyck member known to have the Enhancement skill.
He is believed to be very powerful, as Zeno once mentioned that Maha fought Isaac Netero in the past. In fact, Netero was the only person ever to have fought Maha and lived to see another day.
It has been said that in his youth, Maha was one of the most powerful Nen users around. Considering that he was able to stalemate against Netero, the strongest Nen user at the time, it's hard not to see why.
He then proposes finding out who "Chrollo" is since an alias would not make sense if it were simply a Spider seeking to clear the game, which they determine not to be the case. Despite Killua's objections, Gon insists on finding out who it is. They teleport to him and find out "Chrollo" is Hisoka, who tells them he is looking for Chrollo inside the game. Biscuit invites him to join their alliance to defeat Razor while discreetly informing the others he is lying.
He takes them to Aiai , his constant leering disquieting Gon and Killua. Killua begins to feel uneasy but is unable to pinpoint the source of his suspicions. Hisoka's declaration that he is bored triggers an epiphany and Killua becomes certain that he has already made contact with the Spiders and that there is an Exorcist on Greed Island. He refrains from sharing his inferences with Gon, who conveniently asks Hisoka to check his contacts to see if he has met Tsezguerra.
To Killua's surprise, Hisoka lets them read the names of the players he has encountered, among which there are no members of the Phantom Troupe. Killua surmises he was wrong, unaware that Hisoka doctored the list with Texture Surprise. Killua wants to test him first. He and Gon are impressed with his jumping ability and copy it, shattering his record on the first try. Killua is challenged by Gon multiple times, winning every contest, and approves of Tsezguerra.
Their alliance now counting nine members, they each choose a sport that fits their abilities, with Killua calling dibs on sumo. After a week of training, they head to the lighthouse, having recruited six more players to reach the required number. Barry, Kess , and Rodriot best their opponents, after which Razor plans to enter the game himself. Bopobo, however, refuses to throw his match and urges Killua to fight him outside of the gym. He incites a revolt, which causes him to be killed by Razor.
Killua pretends they had not chosen who would play sumo yet, assigning the win to a fodder player. Razor then challenges them to a game of dodgeball with the aid of his seven Nen beasts. Killua is shocked to learn that he was a death row convict and that Greed Island takes place in the real world.
Goreinu uses his own ability so they have eight players and, after the rules are explained, the match begins. Killua jumps to catch the ball for his team together with "Devil No. Gon and Killua manage to follow his lightning-fast passages and warn Tsezguerra, who reacts to the throw-in time to survive, although he is forced to leave the court.
Catching the ball, Killua is unsettled by the momentum it retained even after bouncing off Tsezguerra and the floor. He reflects on how to keep the ball even after throwing and, following Gon's suggestion, gives it to Hisoka, who tethers it to his hand with Bungee Gum.
However, they lose the ball when "No. Gon is blasted off the court by the throw, but mostly unscathed. Killua realizes he will not budge from his decision to call "Back". He and Goreinu repeatedly pass the ball to each other to allow Gon to get first aid until Goreinu throws it at Razor to redeem himself.
Razor is however saved by his "Devils" and knocks Goreinu out, also dispelling Black Goreinu. Killua avoids his next throw, which curves towards his two remaining. In the aftermath, Biscuit is forced to leave the curve and Hisoka breaks two fingers, although he manages to secure the ball.
Killua realizes that if he had dodged left instead of right, he would have died. When Gon reenters play, Killua points out they will not get hurt if they are hit by anyone but Razor, but Gon declares that it will not be a true victory if they do not catch the Game Master 's throw.
Killua argues with him, only to be won over when Gon reminds him that he would be dead if he had dodged to the other side. To get back at Razor, he has Killua hold the ball for him while he charges Rock. Killua refuses and claims he is fine, but Biscuit forces him to pull his hand out of his pocket, exposing the grievous injuries he suffered.
Killua requests that Gon let him continue, and his friend reveals he was aware of Killua's injury, but adjoins Killua is the only one who can hold the ball for him. The latter reminds Gon that before he can do so again, they must get the ball back from Razor.
Gon comes up with a formation [] in which Killua serves as both cushion and brakes, redistributing his aura with impeccable precision. The three manage to block Razor's spike, then Killua holds up the ball for Gon, promising that if he holds back, he will hear it from him.
With Bungee Gum , he sticks the ball to Razor's arms, pushing him out of bounds. After their victory, Biscuit tends to Killua's hands and chastises him, while Killua glances at Gon as he and Razor talk about Ging. The NPC who started the quest takes the team to the top of the lighthouse and, at dawn, transforms into "Plot of Beach". Goreinu and Tsezguerra gladly let Gon's team take the original. Hisoka's parting words to them lead Killua to realize that he was indeed hiding something and that he lied to them about not knowing about spell cards.
Biscuit pacifies him by saying that certain people lie without reason. Right as Tsezguerra and Goreinu propose forming an alliance to defeat the Bomber s , Genthru contacts the Jackpot Hunter.
Believing him to have the original "Plot of Beach", he threatens to kill him if he does not hand over the card within one hour. The deal is accepted and Killua is put in charge of planning. Ten days later, Killua notes that Gon has made no progress in Emission training, and begins to wonder the trade they made with Tsezguerra was unwise since his team would be two cards away from completion after they give them the card.
Biscuit suggests taking Genthru's cards, but Killua knows Gon would not agree to it. He examines the boulder dug by Biscuit, declaring it to be big enough for his plan. They convert the boulder into a card and share their strategy with Gon, [] for which they have him hone his sense of timing. To their surprise, Tsezguerra holds out for five more days after the deadline. Even by that time, however, Killua's hands have not healed. The three are contacted by Goreinu, who tells them that the Jackpot Hunter's team is not coming back and that he is in possession of all their real cards.
He warns them the Bomber s are flying towards Masadora to restock on transport spells, after which they will probably come for them. They refuse to hand over their cards and flee to make the Bomber s use up their movement spells until they manage to lead them in the desired location.
The three split up, with Sub targeting Killua. The latter kicks the Bomber, who blocks his attack and retaliates, although Killua manages to deflect his punch with his feet. The exchange allows him to figure out that his hands will not hinder him in combat, even though he cannot use them. After leading Sub away from Gon and Biscuit, he opens his binder and reverts a card to an "Accompany" with the Paladin's Necklace hidden under his clothes, teleporting himself and his opponent away.
He uses "Rhythm Echo" to get close to Sub and shock him with Lightning Palm , which only stuns the Bomber for a few moments. Killua thus pulls out one of his yo-yos. After a few swings, he allows himself to be disarmed by Sub, who falls his fake-out and is hit by Killua second yo-yo.
After revealing that all of his moves had been traps, Killua knocks Sub out. They are contacted by Gon after he defeats Genthru, but cannot understand what the boy is saying due to his crushed throat.
When Genthru comes to, they have him get his binder out by stating they had already planned to use " Angel's Breath " on every one of them. Biscuit heals Gon and Bara , but when it is Killua's turn, she finds herself unable to clone the card. Killua deduces it is because Goreinu's " Vouchers " have transformed into "Angel's Breath". The Hunter reaches them but is unwilling to use "Angel's Breath" on the Bomber s. Killua enquires whether he would use it on him, and when Goreinu replies he would do so for free, Killua reveals he killed more people than the Bomber s.
Gon decides to respect their deal and activate the original "Angel's Breath" on Genthru, apologizing to Killua. This prompts Goreinu to hand them his own, as well as all his and Team Tsezguerra's cards. Killua's hands are healed and he, Gon and Biscuit receive 1 billion each as a result of Battera rescinding the contract.
When Gon places all 99 specified slot cards in his binder, an announcement goes off that alerts every player of a quiz test, the prize being the elusive " Ruler's Blessing ". Killua reckons it is a measure that penalizes players who stole most of the cards and that, since the Bomber s are out of commission and Tsezguerra's team has left the game, they stand a good chance to win the card.
Multiple players teleport to the group's location, but only to offer them a deal. Gashta and Zetsk Bellam attack him to get the card, but Gon's team easily defeats them. Killua then drifts to Limeiro so Gon and Biscuit can fly there too. After a majestic party, Gon, Killua, and Biscuit pick the three cards to take outside of the game. Gon converts "Paladin's Necklace" to revert "Plot of Beach" into "Accompany", which he had previously transformed with "Clone", after finding out that the first contact on his list was not Goreinu, the person to enter the game after him, but an anagram of "Ging".
He proclaims the first thing he will do after meeting his father is introduce Killua as his best friend, to the latter's embarrassment, and moving Biscuit to tears. Kite explains to Gon he has been on Greed Island on Ging's request, and that Gon's use of "Accompany" instead of " Magnetic Force " caused him to meet Kite and not Ging, who wanted to make sure Gon and him would be alone if they were to meet.
They have dinner together around a campfire. Monta and Banana recognize Killua's surname, although he explains he quit his profession as an assassin.
Alongside Kite's team, Gon and Killua work as biological researchers for one month, finding a great number of new species thanks to their affinity with nature. They fly to the Southernpiece Auction House to investigate. The field research is unsuccessful, but Podungo discovers the limb came from a man-sized Chimera Ant Queen —an insect that devours other animals, and then gives birth to progeny that inherit the characteristics of the different species it has eaten.
Killua states that a Chimera Ant Queen of that size could prey on humans. After researching the currents, Kite bets that the Chimera Ant Queen might have washed onto an anarcho-primitivist, autonomous nation called Neo-Green Life.
Following his hunch, they head to NGL. They rent horses and plan to search along the coastline, although Killua is suspicious of the information their translator guides feed them.
Gon finds animal carcasses impaled by Rammot , who beats him and Killua back. Kite tests them by making them fight the Chimera Ant. Gon and Killua tag-team to beat him and, after Killua paralyzes him, Gon lands a near-fatal blow, but Rammot is saved by his Squadron Leader , Colt. Kite warns the two boys they will see much carnage, but they're willing to continue nonetheless.
The trio discovers the hidden side of NGL: a narcotics factory once commandeered by the former kingpin of the country, Gyro. Once inside Kite senses five presences approaching, causing Killua to realize he is using En. Yunju , Centipede and Mosquito attack them. She retorts by ejecting a stinger from her mouth, which Killua dodges, only to fall prey to her real poisonous stinger, located at the tip of her tail.
He pretends to be affected by the toxin and, as soon as she looks away, breaks her neck and slashes off her head. They find themselves surrounded by the Officers of Hagya's squad. He is initially concerned by Baro 's attacks but smiles when Gon reveals his true power.
He then steps in himself, fighting Rhino [] and killing him easily. Kite then activates his Crazy Slots , summoning a scythe. Gon and Killua sense its power and jump up as he decimates the Officers with Silent Waltz.
When he complains about the unreliability of his Nen ability, Killua wonders again why he made it so. When they are within sight of the nest, they are located by Neferpitou , who is upon them in an instant and cuts off Kite's arm. The two boys are momentarily overwhelmed by their ominous aura, but when Gon prepares to fight the Royal Guard , Killua knocks him unconscious and runs away with him, regretting their arrogance and weakness.
The Sea Hunter berates him, while Knov dismisses his assessment that Neferpitou was stronger than even the three of them. Killua understands he is not even in their playing field and is surprised when Netero hands him two halves of two tokens, stating that if he and Gon want to join them and continue living as Hunters, they must hold onto them for one month.
Killua takes Gon to a hotel and waits for him to wake up, guilt eating away at him for deserting Kite. When Gon comes to, however, he thanks him, believing he would have been a hindrance to Kite had he fought, and claiming that the Hunter is still alive and needs them to rescue him.
Killua is awed by Gon's capacity for hope. They resolve to get stronger and write on the city's bulletin board that they accept the challenge. Each pair has two halves of a token and to pass the challenge, the pair must acquire the opponents' two halves.
He plans to improve their basics and find out their opponents' abilities. Gon disagrees with the latter proposition, since they will have no such knowledge in NGL. They go back to their hotel, where they find Biscuit waiting for them.
She trains them to maintain a state of Ren for three hours, which will increase their stamina within battle.
Less than one hour later, Gon collapses a few seconds before Killua, and they instantly fall asleep. Biscuit uses her ability to reduce their fatigue.
After about ten days, [] Gon and Killua succeed in the task. Despite their exhaustion, Biscuit sends them to confront Knuckle without their tokens, so they will be able to fight him again if they lose. He orders them to punch him as much as they want and, if they fail to make him budge from his spot, they will have to leave their tokens behind. When he thanks Gon moments before fainting from his Rock , Killua judges him to be an idiot. They take him to their hotel room and, when he comes to, enquire about his motives for joining the Extermination Team.
His statement that he wants to know who they are up against before killing them causes Killua to think he would die before finding out. The next morning, the three share breakfast and Knuckle allows Gon and Killua to challenge him as many times as they want in the remaining 20 days. The boys spend the rest of the month training themselves by maintaining Ren for three hours and subsequently heading off to challenge Knuckle, [] but they cannot draw out so much as half of his might. Ten days before the deadline, Gon wonders why Knuckle is not allowed to go to NGL despite his power, with Killua speculating it is because of his personality.
Palm realizes they are not progressing fast enough and recommends they run away so her anger will not be as terrible, but Gon promises they will win and manages to calm her down. Gon takes Knuckle on by himself while Killua watches from the sidelines. However, he notes that his friend is approaching the limit of his stamina.
He is shocked to see Gon charge a Jajanken attack from a distance. However, he exhausts his aura before being able to land a decisive blow. Instead of fighting Knuckle himself, Killua takes Gon back to the hotel, warning Knuckle that he will never forgive him if the following day he will lose for not using his full power. As soon as he returns, Biscuit immediately tells him to spar with her.
She orders him to leave Gon's side if he cannot defeat Shoot. At midnight, the two boys meet up with their opponents. Gon takes on Knuckle while Killua and Shoot relocate elsewhere. His opponent reveals a birdcage and three floating hands, [] He checks for traps with Gyo and concludes that Shoot is a Manipulator.
He repels the hands with his yo-yos when Shoot suddenly appears next to him. Instead of dodging, he tries to electrocute him, but Illumi's conditioning causes his body to freeze, allowing Shoot to land a blow on him.
He begins to doubt himself and, after a few instants, his left eye disappears due to the effect of Hotel Rafflesia. He manages to avoid Shoot's next two attacks while chiding himself for only running away. Screaming, he discards his yo-yos and charges at Shoot, batting away his floating hands.
Shoot sees electricity crackling around one of them and jumps back, remarking that he does not care for it. Unable to understand how his opponents know about his ability, [] Killua finds himself unable to keep fighting and gives up. After they are gone, Gon breaks down in tears, lamenting his weakness. Killua tears up by his side, vowing to watch over him for the 30 days in which he will be unable to use Nen due to Knuckle's Hakoware , after which he wants to part ways with him.
He is outraged by Palm's demand that Gon do whatever she says to make up for breaking his promise of taking her to NGL, and even more by her request to be his girlfriend. After Gon manages to pacify her, the two head to the gym to train, and Killua compliments his ability to deal with her. Gon reveals he has experience with women, shocking his friend. Just as Killua catches himself losing his determination to leave Gon's side, Knuckle calls Gon to tell him they found Kite and will be back in three days.
Relieved, Killua thinks that all that is left is for him to guard Gon for one month. He accompanies Gon to the woods next to the city as he makes preparations for his date with Palm. Back at the hotel, he learns from the news of a Chimera Ant attack in Pata City , deeming the threat to be sufficiently far from them. He lies to Gon, claiming the following day he will work out at the gym all day, whereas in reality he disguises himself and follows him and Palm around.
When they head into the woods, Killua senses the aura of a Chimera Ant. Fearing that Gon will attack it in a rage or that Palm will start screaming at him, he decides to confront it himself. When he prepares for combat, however, he finds himself paralyzed by Illumi's conditioning. Unable to react properly but unwilling to flee, Killua suffers a beatdown at Rammot's hands, while trying to resist his brother's influence. When his resolve reaches its apex, right before Rammot is about to land a lethal blow, Killua senses a needle in his skull and pulls it out, dodging the attack with surprising speed.
He realizes that the needle was the source of Illumi's influence on him. He orders Rammot to tell the other Chimera Ants that they will be killed if they get near him or Gon. When Rammot begins to utter a protest, Killua tears off his head and crushes it. He rushes back to where he last saw Gon and Palm, and, when he cannot find them, runs to the hotel. There he finds Palm make Gon write apologies over and over. Killua and Palm begin to fight. She tries to stab him in the head with a kitchen knife, but he easily dodges it.
He takes Gon and runs away, followed by a murderous Palm. He is astonished that even after that exchange, Gon believes he can reason with her. Killua watches silently as Gon allows himself to be beaten by the manipulated Hunter. When the second level of Neferpitou's control is activated, Gon swears to Killua he will take the Royal Guard on himself. Knuckle asks Killua what caused the two of them to change that much in such a short span of time, to which Killua replies it is the Chimera Ants that changed them.
Under the guise of the former King of the Republic of East Gorteau , Meruem initiates the process of forcibly awakening Nen in the civilians of East Gorteau — resulting in the deaths of millions — in order to form his own personal army to conquer the world. Through Colt , the Extermination Team learns that the "Selection" will take place in ten days. Killua is concerned about Netero's silence, and just then he texts them the plan. When, after midnight, Gon reacquires the ability to use Nen, Morel demands that he strike him with Rock.
Gon's fury manifests in the form of tremendous aura output, and Killua calmly stops him before he can carry through with the attack. As per their request, they two of them are assigned to taking care of Neferpitou. Upon crossing the border, they find out a massacre has taken place in an abandoned village near the border, which prompts Killua to deduce the "Selection" has already begun. Gon decides to attempt to stop it, even if it means being discovered.
Killua tells him he will do it by himself and that Gon should save his strength for Neferpitou. He orders him to remain hidden no matter how many people he sees being murdered. He feels Meleoron 's gaze upon himself, but he and Gon split up anyway.
Killua encounters Leol's Squad. Killua proceeds to take out Neferpitou's puppets and warn the people of East Gorteau that Mig Jol-ik has fallen. Because of his actions, the Ants put the country under martial law, but Killua is undeterred.
After dispatching a platoon in Luonton, he heads north, where he runs into an ambush prepared by Leol. He manages to kill most of his underlings, but the Captain blasts him off with explosive chemicals, which causes Killua to realize Flutter is still observing him. Suddenly, he is shot with several fleas [] secreting an anticoagulant. With Ken, he manages to figure out the location of the sniper, whom he tails to the entrance to a cave. As soon as the man jumps in, Killua leaps after him and jams his finger into his head.
Tentacles emerge from the man's body to restrain him, [] but he cuts them off and uses the suckers to adhere to the stalactites, preventing himself from falling into the Ant-infested lake underneath. Ikalgo , the Chimera Ant Captain who was controlling the man's body, attempts to escape, but Killua easily catches him and interrogates him about Flutter's ability, offering to spare him.
Ikalgo attempts to commit suicide by letting himself fall in the lake underneath, but Killua, moved by his loyalty to his comrades, saves him with a yo-yo and flings him to safety. At that moment, a shark-like Chimera Ant jumps out of the water in an attempt to crush him, only to be swiftly torn to pieces by the boy.
Without him noticing, Remora manages to affix a pin to his clothes that was conjured by the Ortho Siblings. As the Ortho Siblings taunt him telepathically, Killua realizes their ability is connected to darts, which do not exist until the moment they pierce his skin, making them unavoidable. When the final throw, which should pierce his forehead, comes, Killua converts his aura into electricity to enhance his reactions and manages to block it.
He then breaks off the tip and sticks it to his forehead with a suction cup. He fakes death by lying still on the ground and waits for the siblings to come out, beheading them when they emerge from underwater.
As he tries to leave the cave, however, he collapses from the blood loss. On the verge of losing consciousness, he apologizes to Gon, but Ikalgo saves him by taking him to an underground clinic.
He phones home to pay the hospital bill and be discharged. He invites Ikalgo to join the Extermination Team, who is touched by Killua's actions as he considers an octopus-like him as a friend, and decides to go with him. Killua dismisses Gon's concern about Palm. Despite the plan being laid out on paper, he continues to feel anxious. To figure out why Neferpitou deactivated their En, they phone Colt, who tells them the Royal Guard must have been healing someone.
Their conclusion is that the King hurt himself, which they relay to Morel. As the Extermination Team members prepare themselves for the attack, Killua glances at Gon, vowing to make sure that no one will interfere with his battle thanks to his new ability, Godspeed. Five and a half hours later, the Extermination Team leaves the room to move to one closer to the palace. Although he tells Gon to focus only on his battle, he cannot assuage his unease and brings up the topic of the King's self-inflicted injury again.
Morel's conclusion leaves him unconvinced, but, with the raid starting in a minute, he is forced to brush his misgivings aside. At midnight sharp, Killua is the fifth to storm the palace, [] appearing next to the stairway and Menthuthuyoupi.
As Killua anticipated, the Royal Guards have different positions than expected. The Extermination Team freezes momentarily when Zeno's Dragon Dive pierces the palace, with the exception of Gon, who charges at Menthuthuyoupi.
Killua quickly deduces his friend is acting on a scenario in which Meleoron and Knuckle were killed by Zeno's ability while undetectable; to the team's relief, they see the Royal Guard being pushed aside by an invisible force, signaling that their comrades survived.
They run past Ikalgo and Killua glimpses two soldier Ants. Subconsciously realizing they might pose a threat to the approaching Ikalgo, he dispatches them before even understanding what he is doing. Gon tells him where Neferpitou is, and his words leave Killua wondering whether he was speaking only for himself or for both of them; fearing the answer, he does not ask. They jump to the roof of the third floor, where they encounter Zeno, who cryptically tells them to judge for themselves what is going on inside.
Killua follows Gon into the room where Neferpitou crouches over Komugi , Doctor Blythe hovering above them. He is reticent to tell Gon, but Neferpitou themselves states they are healing her. They offer to do anything if they let them finish, but before Killua can formulate his request, Gon cuts him off.
His cold remark hurts him, but he manages to talk him into restraining himself. Gon decides to wait for one hour, after which he will take Neferpitou to restore Kite. Killua agrees to assist Knuckle against Menthuthuyoupi. Exploiting Meleoron's invisibility, he manages to paralyze Youpi with Thunderbolt right when he is about to kill Knuckle, allowing the Beast Hunter to survive and strike his opponent several times before running away.
When he runs out of electric aura, he backs away to recharge. Menthuthuyoupi pursues him, but Killua escapes thanks to Meleoron's ability. He states he will go back to where Gon is once he is done, and instructs Meleoron to discuss what to do next with Knuckle.
Once he is finished, he starts heading back but senses someone watching him. He discovers it's Palm, who has been mutated into a Chimera Ant. Reflecting that seeing her like that could lead Gon to a mental breakdown, he steps out of hiding to intercept her. Pondering that perhaps she came to him thanks to her clairvoyance, and thus remembers him, he starts to believe she might still be the same.
The two exchange a few words, but when Palm asks him where Gon is, he becomes wary of her, ultimately calling her an enemy and preparing to fight her. She activates Black Widow and immediately smashes one of his yo-yos.
Killua is forced on the defensive by her sheer power. Although at first, he had no intention of letting the two meet, he ends up bursting in tears, lamenting his inability to help his friend. Palm manages to recover her senses and destroys Pouf's clone, who was ordering her to kill Killua.
She relieves his emotional pain, telling him it is thanks to his words she freed herself from the Ant's control and that he is the only one who can really help Gon. Palm and Killua reunite with Ikalgo, announcing their intention to stay by Gon's side without interfering with him. Ikalgo accepts and the three go find Meleoron and Knuckle. Killua and Knuckle go to the room where Gon and Komugi are, and the boy entrusts them with Komugi until he and the Royal Guard return.
After they leave, Knuckle enquires whether Killua would not like to go with him, to which the boy responds that Neferpitou might take him hostage.
The Royal Guard's clone goes after Killua, [] who however doges him with Godspeed. Shaiapouf splits up his clone in smaller segments, who promise Killua the King will forgive him if he surrenders. Killua does not believe him and continues running farther away from the palace until Komugi begins to struggle to get free. Killua barely manages to save both of them when the segments reunite again and attempt to kill the girl.
He knocks her out and draws a circle around himself with his aura. When the clone attempts to cross it, Killua burns its cells with electricity. Shortly afterward, the segments fly back towards the palace. At his request, she explains her ability to him. He thanks her without telling her why, to her confusion. Suddenly, Palm is shocked [] to see that Neferpitou is healing themselves while Gon is unresponsive.
A segment of Shaiapouf informs them that Neferpitou believes that Komugi has been rescued, and offers to stop the Royal Guard from killing Gon if they give him Komugi. Without hesitation, Killua torches the segment and entrusts Komugi to Palm. Activating Speed of Lightning , he rushes to Gon's side. It takes him a few moments to recognize Gon in his adult form.
As his friend stands next to a decapitated Neferpitou, Killua is horrified fathoming the price Gon will have to pay for that power-up. When Terpsichora manipulates the Royal Guard's corpse, Killua intervenes just in time to prevent Gon from being killed, although his friend still loses his right arm. Gon tells Killua that he is not in pain, but happy for looking like Kite did before his death, saddening his friend.
Despite his protests, Gon musters even more aura to deliver the final blow to the Chimera Ant. Gon is taken to the hospital in Swardani City where Morel and Shoot are also recovering. While his friend is in a deep coma and his condition deteriorates each passing minute, Killua sits outside of the room, looking at him through a window. He thinks back to how Gon cut him out during the raid and swears to make him apologize. Knov arrives and tells him he is preparing a team of doctors, to which Killua responds he will save Gon himself and leaves the hospital, making a phone call.
Killua returns home to seek help from his younger sibling Alluka , whose ability would save Gon from death. Silva is initially reticent to let him meet with her and tells him not to think of her as family, which ticks him off.
He declares that letting his friend die is the same as betraying him, reminding his father of the promise they made. Silva takes him to the room where Alluka is confined, [] updating him on recent wishes and demanding that he repeat the rules to her power.
Killua's temper flares, but he eventually complies and is allowed to meet with his sister. They begin to play, with Alluka making the request instead of her other half and the source of her powers, Nanika. Silva's refusal confirms that his family is unaware of the special rules, one of which is that Nanika must be in contact with someone to heal them.
Killua calls out Nanika and requests that if they're not able to leave the mountain together within thirty minutes Nanika should kill their mother. Silva opens the gate and allows them to depart. He calls Knuckle, whose phone is snatched by Morel. He is updated on Gon's state, after which he confidently states he can heal Gon, but that he may need help to return to the hospital.
The conversation is cut off by Gotoh, who warns Killua he must not divulge family secrets and informing that his Outing Precaution Level is already 4, forbidding him from speaking to outsiders without clearance. Gotoh is assigned to be his escort, to which he adds Canary so she can take delicate care of Alluka. Silva orders that Tsubone and Amane accompany him as well, leading Killua to realize the seriousness of his situation.
Nanika makes a request of Tsubone, who, after giving it her pinky fingernail, goes into hiding, preventing it from asking favors of anyone else and thus, potentially, from healing Gon, although Killua can still issue a command. On their way to the hospital, Killua is called by Leorio.
Gotoh answers the phone, which triggers a heated argument between the two. Killua offers to talk to him briefly to simplify the conversation, which Gotoh authorizes. Leorio deems the conditions set by Gotoh to be impossible, but Morel promises to take care of it, planning to build a hospital wing in the parking lot just for Gon where Killua can drive in and heal Gon without being seen. His phone rings again and, when Gotoh picks it up, he greets Illumi, calling him by name, which allows Killua to see Amane tensing up.
He thus realizes how each family member feels towards Alluka and determines that Illumi's agenda goes against his father's, meaning that he wants to kill their sister. He concludes theirs is an intra-family mission, where each Zoldyck tries to accomplish their goal provided they do not kill each other; and that Alluka, whom Silva defined as not being family, is instead a viable target for assassination. Killua announces he removed Illumi's needle and challenges him.
Right then, a car and a truck driven by people controlled by Illumi push Killua's car off the mountainside, but all the occupants escape uninjured.
Killua discovers his brother's position thanks to Hisoka purposefully triggering his bloodlust. He carries Alluka as the three butlers and he runs in the thick of the forest to escape him.
Killua is suspicious of Amane, who assures him that she and her grandmother Tsubone are not his enemies, and neither are his father and grandfather, who tasked the two of them with keeping him safe. Stopping in his tracks, Killua counters that as long as Alluka's safety is not one of their priorities too, they will remain his enemies.
He activates Godspeed [] to run away with Alluka. An extension of Nen, Nen abilities, are the personalized versions of which each of the concerned characters developed over the course of their own individual journeys. Naturally, as the main characters of Hunter x Hunter , Gon and the team took it upon themselves to develop their own Nen abilities.
Killua, in particular, went to great lengths in that regard. His Nen ability is by far one of the most brilliantly executed and versatile abilities in the series. Killua is a hard-to-come-by genius when it comes to the Nen department. Both his speed of learning and his diverse application are aspects to look up to.
Those who could compete with him in that regard are few and far between. Nen is the energy of life, and to acquire or properly wield it, one would have to live. At starting episodes of the series, Killua was confirmed to be 12, similar to Gon. Over the course of the series, his age underwent development alongside his character. He turned 13 by the time he acquired his Hunter License and 14 by the end of the anime.
Considering that he is only 14 years old, Killua sure went through a lot. Most adult hunters would need at least a dozen lives to lives by through his experiences. Just like how his character developed, his fighting style developed as well.
