Narrator: With the death of king meruem,

the battle between chimera ants and humans was finally over.

The Republic of east gorteau and the ngl

were placed under the provisional rule

of the international security agency,

effectively dismantling both countries.

Between the two former nations,

five million survivors became refugees.

The mitene union’s three remaining countries

divided east gorteau’s assets equally

and, after brief negotiations,

agreed to have joint control over the territory.

As for the ngl, there was a proposal

to permanently designate all uninhabited land

as a nature reserve,

in hopes that this would prevent future conflict,

and it was quickly approved in the international assembly.

It was also agreed that the nature reserve

would be placed under the jurisdiction

of the hunter association.

Welfin: You sure about this?

Bloster: You bet.

I’m gonna live right here, no question.

I don’t remember gyro,

but, still, this place just feels like home.

It’s only a guess, but I probably just lived in the ngl

and didn’t work for gyro.

Welfin: Well, i’m not gonna twist your arm.

This is probably safer than the other countries.

Bloster: No doubt about that.

Just one good look at me,

and the peacekeepers would arrest me on the spot.

Welfin: I wonder...

Bloster: Hmm?

Welfin: Is that her deal, too?

It’d make sense.

Bloster: No. Her case is a little bit different.

She’s a lot more like you guys than me.

Welfin: Huh? What are you talking about?

Hina: Hey!

Are you done?! Let’s get moving!

Welfin: She’s such a brat. Just give me a minute!

Bloster: Anyways, for someone like me

who has no memory of my previous life,

those like you and hina, who do remember,

you all seem a little, I don’t know, different.

Maybe it’s the light in your eyes

or how you look off into the distance.

I can tell just by looking at you,

like, yeah, "this guy remembers his past."

And I can tell she remembers, too.

It’s as plain as day.

Welfin: Huh.

Bloster: From what hina says, she doesn’t talk very much.

( Hina sighs )

Bloster: But, you know, I don’t think that she won’t talk.

It’s that she’s not able to.

She’s probably a little kid.

Hina: Hurry up, welfin,

or we’re just gonna leave without you!

Welfin: Would you shut up?! I’m on my way!

- Bloster: See ya. - Welfin: Huh?

Bloster: We might not see each other again,

so take care, okay?

Welfin: I will.

Just don’t die...

Until you’re dead.

Bloster: The hell is that?

Welfin: How gyro said goodbye.

It’s always been my favorite phrase.

What, does it ring a bell for you?

Bloster: No, but I kinda like it.

Welfin: Oh, right.

Bloster: So it’s like "seize the day," huh?

Welfin: Heh. Later.

Bloster: Yeah.

Okay, you wanna get going?

( Hina humming a tune )

Yay! We’re on the hunt.

Time to go find sir gyro. That’s awesome!

Welfin: You really don’t have any shame, do you?

Not long ago, you were all, "sir hagya," this

and, "sir leol," that.

Hina: Wait. Do I know them? Guess not.

Welfin: Huh?!

( Hina giggles )

No point in thinking about the dead, right?

Keep looking forward. Full speed ahead!

( Welfin sighs )

Well, anyway, are you positive

we can make it safely through the harbor?

Bizeff: Yes. It’s a government vehicle,

so i’ll show my card, and they’ll let us pass.

( Sighs )

Before long, i’ll be living in meteor city.

Oh, how far i’ve fallen.

Welfin: You don’t have to be so negative, you know.

( Sighs )

Just a little bit longer to go.

I’m willing to bet gyro’s heading there, too.

It’s possible that he’s already gathered

all the people and tools we’re gonna need,

so we’ll be set to start building our own nation.

And you know what that means,

that we’re gonna be back on top in no time at all!

Hina: Yay!

( Giggles )

Bizeff: Well, I envy your unbridled optimism.

I just wish that I shared it.

Welfin: Optimism? Got that right.

I mean, I died twice already,

and check it out. I’m still alive.

There’s nothing left to fear now. Bring it on!

( Bizeff sighs )

Welfin: Besides i’m the one who stopped the king, remember?

- ( Hina giggles ) - Bizeff: Knock it off!

- ( Gasps ) - ( Both laughing )

Bizeff: Yes, you’re right.

I’m just a class-a political criminal now.

Might as well enjoy whatever’s next.

Welfin: Yeah, that’s the spirit.

It’s like I always say, "don’t die ’til you’re dead."

Hina: Kinda goes without saying, right?

Welfin: Shut up!

Narrator: And so, welfin, hina, and bizeff

head to meteor city in the hopes of finding gyro.

Morel: Hello. Colt? It’s me.

Looks like the politicians

have somehow turned this into an international crisis.

Officially, the ants had nothing to do with recent events.

Colt: We had nothing to do with it?

I didn’t realize they could do that.

Morel: They can.

That’s what politics is all about.

You’ll be classified as a new magical beast.

Colt: Is that right?

Morel: Just act the part of a good magical beast,

and there won’t be a problem.

So have there been any changes on your side?

( Knuckle gasps )

Doctor, how is he?

How’s gon?

Doctor: His condition is still critical.

Normally, I would recommend

that he be transported to a specialist,

but until he can be taken off life support,

it’s too risky.

I’ve seen a lot in my time, but a 12-year-old boy

transformed like that in one day...

Knov: I see.

Then we’ll just have to bring the specialist to us.

Considering his heroism, he deserves at least that much.

I’ll cover all of the expenses.

If necessary, we’ll rebuild the whole hospital.

But know this.

We are never going to let gon die.

you took care of it all by yourself.

Killua: I get it.

Kite saved your life,

"let’s get him together."

Gon: Let’s go.

Killua: When you said that,

were you ordering me as your teammate,

or were you telling me as your friend?

I know. I’m just sulking.

Every time, it’s the same.

You keep running ahead,

while I stay behind and clean up after you.

It’s the same as always.

You’d better apologize.

I’m going to make you better.

You hear me?

I swear! I’m gonna make you apologize!

Knov: Killua.

Gon needs lots of help, so i’m assembling specialists.

I’ll use hide-and-seek to transport the equipment

and the medical staff, so I need to fly out now.

Want to come along?

Killua: No. I’ll pass.

( Knov sighs ) I understand.

It’s important for someone to stay by his side

and keep talking to him.

If you don’t reach a 95% quorum, then call for a revote.

can be determined by the zodiacs.

I’d say it’s a level-d difficulty.

All right, I leave it to you.

I wish you well.

the zodiacs, the leaders of the hunter association,

assembled at headquarters that very day.
