Or maybe Illumi, since Hisoka got in touch with him a few episodes back, and we all know about his special pins.

Also, wasn't that Killua's other brother? You know, the one who looks like a girl. =P

Anyway, things are most likely heading in a bad direction for everyone involved thanks to this "mysterious" figure appearing at the end.

Great episode all in all.

It's a shame there's only 1 more episode left and I doubt Greed Island will be as good since the Gon/Killua only arcs are usually more lighthearted.

Yeah, Illumi was my guess too.

It's because Kurapika's soft that's why they had to go through exchanges and deliberate planning not to encounter more members of spider. He's conflicted. He doesn't wanna kill.

This episode is a perfect example of what makes Gon so great as a protagonist: he always calls everyone on their bull ideas and ideals, shutting them down with the simplest of reasoning. The tension is palpable!

Oh boy oh boy! Things sure are getting tense. Looking forward to see what the last episode in this ova series has to offer!

I just love how Gon argue to the enemies when they're speaking of things that Gon disapprove or hate.

Did anyone notice that the person who dropped the card should not be Hisoka. (Because Hisoka is skilled on handling cards) So that person must be Illumi who switched place with Hisoka!

Hisoka dropped the card. Why is that?(He could have pulled something off)

Also, the episode was mostly on the contracts and stuff. Guess we won't be seeing any spiders die. *sigh* Should I bother watching Greed Island for this?*sigh* Looks like the only plot development from the beginning of the ova till the end is the death of Squala. And nothing more than an encounter with the spiders.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

@JeremiahOrange Ugh, no cheap death in this anime please! but instead it has very interesting way to end up things, unlike many other shonen anime out there :((


@Gator Because in the previous episode lies the answer that is

The Spider members aren't some heartless monsters—well, in a way they are—so it seems like some at least got to see just how contrary Gon is from them—but at the same time, not that different. It feels like they're aware that they're doing something bad, but still disregard their awareness.

Paku sure has a hot bod, but the story is SO boring.
They just talk and talk and talk more...
C'mon, do something!!!

The scene where it focusses Kurapika’s face while he is thinking is very funny and strange. That strange kid that appeared at the base. Kurapika has them by the balls. This arc is very intense, an intruder in the airport, if it’s Phinks things are gonna blow.

Absolutely gripping. Every second of this OVA pulls you in, and the sound design especailly in this episode is key. The phone ringing is one of the most haunting things, the way hisoka's voice actor replies "yo". It's all perfect in a way the 2011 never matches. It's cinematic.
