"The Path of the Majority Rules. "The five of you must find your way to the goal.. by using 'Majority Rules.' "Majority Rules?"
These are...
...timers It has buttons with a circle and an X.
Does that mean, unless we get another person...
...down here, we can't get out of this room?
That's correct.
There are many routes in this tower Each route has different requirements You guys got "The Path of the Majority Rules. It's a tough course in which you must cooperate with each other I wish you all good luck The remaining time is 71 hours and 18 minutes...
We just have to wait It's been two hours.
Maybe everyone has taken a different route down already.
The ones still remaining on top must reallly be stupid.
It seems that stupid one has arrived.
Y-You Tonpa-san.
Looks like everyone is here.
I don't want to do this "Majority Rules" thing with you!
This will do.
All right! Let's go Don't "all right" us when you got here last.
Acting like you're in charge...
This is your first choice.
Press the button with the circle if you want to open that door or the button with the X if you don't want to "Majority Rules" already?
The choice is obvious Open this door?
Yes
Huh Who the hell chose the X?
Ah, sorry. I'm sorry. I pressed it by mistake.
Hey, don't kid around!
How can you mistake a circle from an X That's why I said sorry.
I'm asking how you could've made such a mistake!
Forget about it. Let's go. The door opened anyway.
No. It's not okay.
He pressed the X button on purpose!
We've wasted two hours already.
I don't want to waste any more time quarreling That's right Even if he keeps objecting all the way we'll be fine as long as the rest of us are cooperating, right And if he still gets in our way, then.. Well, all right. Let's get going.
But if you do it again, I'll punch you Again?
Which way?
Right
Lef If you want to go right, press the circle.
To the left, press the X Okay, okay.
To the right?
Usually in cases like this, people choose left, don't they?
Actually, I don't feel comfortable unless I choose left in a situation like this It's true that according to behavioral studies when people are lost or when selecting an unknown route more often than not, they tend to go left I've heard of that, too.
Hey, wait a minute! The numbers don't add up.
Which one did you guys press Right.
Right...
Look, guys.
People are likely to choose left, that's why we chose right.
A proctor should know that and would make a more difficult trap on the left path Exactly what he said.
We're simple minded all right. Right, Gon So I am at the same level as Leorio...
Wh-What the hell is this?!
Look.
Chief Lippo, the applicants are here.
Take these things off.
We've been hired to test you applicants!
You must fight the five of us here That man looks tough...
That's why I wanted to go to left.
The left path might have been more difficult The fight is one-on-one! You can fight only once!
You can pick your turns.
You can pass by winning the majority of matches meaning three or more wins You can fight anyway you want There will be no draws When one side admits defeat, the other side is deemed the winner Decide if you will take on this challenge or not by voting If yes, press the circle. If no, press the X Here goes the voting ag...
What a waste of time In order for us to pass the test, we must fight Of course, everyone will press the circle Unless someone tries to mess it up Yeah, yeah, I know.
How about it? We all agree!
All right. The first one from our side will be me!
Who will be fighting from your side?
What should we do? Who goes first The set up is complete The remaining time is 69 hours.. They've already reduced three years from their prison terms.. Well, let's just watch.
I will go.
No, I should go.
What?!
He seems like the type to fight with brute strength.
If you fight him straight on, you'll be at a disadvantage, Gon Hey, wait a minute.
If Gon is at a disadvantage, than you can't do it either...
But I have my weapon Your weapon? If he takes it, you'll go down!
Then are you going, Leorio?
Geez, look at those muscles If you're scared, I'll go Killua!
Then it's decided.
Wait!
I'll go.
You've got to be joking!
A petty scoundrel like you is no match against him I don't think so.
What?!
There is no restriction on the means of fighting.
In other words, anything goes You just don't know what they'll do You can't assume that he'll stick to his physical strengt just because he looks tough In short, the most important element right now is not physical strength but experience and your hunch which enables you to respond to any situation I volunteer myself t...
That's exactly why I'm offering myself to be the first one to fight.
I know all of you don't fully trust me, right Not at all!
Well, listen Up ahead, we may face a situation in which the score is tied If you don't trust me, can you risk letting me fight the tiebreaker?
Why don't you let him do it?
I see his point.
Th-Then it's decided.
You offered yourself to be the first one to fight so you better not lose Just watch.
I'm going first Okay.
Well, let's decide the way of the match.
I suggest a death match That's the worst that can happen. What are we going to do, Kurapika?!
This is not good. We thought it out too much.
But Tonpa-san looked very confident. I bet he has a great plan.
You can find it out by watching.
We keep fighting until one admits defeat or one is killed.. How about it Look, he isn't responding.
That's more convenient for prisoners, isn't it Indeed. All of them have over 100 years of prison terms.
Yes. They are all felons.
Their prison terms won't get shorter unless they do something like this Bendot was convicted for robbery and murde and is sentenced to 199 years in prison He must be very thrilled.
He can offically kill and reduce his prison term What's the matter Are we doing a death match or not If you take time here, you'll just waste your teammates' time, too.
But our prison terms will get shorter.. I'm grateful for that.
All right, I accept your challenge.
Tonpa...
Tonpa-san.. I commend you on your decision.. Now.. Let's fight Run, Tonpa-san!
