That's too simple...
So what did you come here for anyway?
Oh, yeah.
Check 'em out.
Tickets?
Yeah, but not just any tickets.
These are tickets for Hisoka's next match Hisoka's matches are really popular; lots of people were lining up for it.
The only reason I even got my hands on the was because I'm on the 200th floor But still, I had to pay them. They're so cheap I also asked around about Hisoka a little bit.
He's built up quite a reputation here.
He's fought eleven matches, with eight wins, three losses, and six KOs And the number of KO's equals the number of corpses The three losses are all by default I guess he registers for the matches at the deadline but then he doesn't show up for them Man, that guy is so full of himself Anyway, what this all means is, he'...
Right.
And not only that...
There's more?
In all of his eleven matches he only lost a grand total of four points That's one knockdown and three clean hits The guys I was talking to say Hisoka is as good as any Floor Master That sucks.
Yeah right. His expression says otherwise.
Well, this time, he's up against a guy named Kastro.
Three of the four points that Hisoka's given up were to this guy It's gonna be a showdown This match will give you an opportunity to analyze Hisoka's technique He might actually fight for real this time But... you think it's okay?
I made a promise to Wing-san.
What?! Of course, it's okay!
All we're gonna do is sit and watch the match Forget it!
Watching a match counts as studying Nen.
Killua-kun may go.. But Gon-kun, I want you to focus on getting better for another month I understand.
Well, that's all I had to say Is he stalking us Killua...
Oh well.
Is anyone going up We can just tape the match, and I'll go by myself Is anyone going up Yeah...
I could've bought a thousand chocolate robots with that!
Is anyone going up?!
Man, what the hell Just get in already, kid This elevator is going up Okay, I'll see ya later See ya They're following my instructions.
They've been focusing on improving their spiritual selves.
The aura leaking out of them shows this clearly It suggests a great, but tranquil river I better take it easy. I'm the one losing my composure here Welcome to the Battle Hour!
We've got an exciting match for you today!
And that match is between Kastro and Hisoka Hello! I'm reporting live from the stadium.
Just look at this crowd.
It's a full house, and the match is still an hour away With eight wins and three loses, with all the losses being by default...
The grim reaper who's prone to taking days off, Hisoka the Magician Meanwhile, his opponent has nine wins and one loss He's won nine in a row since his loss to Hisoka, and is one away from challenging a Floor Master.. Kastro the Warrior He's already stated that he wants to avenge his earlier loss. Is today the day?
What?! There's no more Chocolate Robots?!
Yeah, I'm sorry about that, sir.
Man, how does that happen Well...
Two days ago, someone came in here and bought up our entire stock Two days ago?
It was me.
We should be getting more in about two weeks.
In that case, I'll have some energy juice.
Thank you!
Let's look at Kastro's interview footage.
Well, I'm not letting the pressure of winning my tenth match get to me.
I just want to bring my best into the ring And here I thought he'd be a gorilla Do you think you have a chance of defeating Hisoka?!
If I didn't think I could win, I wouldn't fight.
I'll prove that I'm not the same opponent Hisoka faced two years ago Right. Well, good luck!
A big talker, huh?
Let's see if his confidence is well deserved!
Thanks.
That wraps up our interview with Kastro.
This should work.. Energy juice?
Weird.. There he is.
May I help you?
What?
He's gone!
But I saw him sitting in that chair How'd he get behind me?!
Did he slip past me in the doorway without me noticing That's impossible I was watching him through the door right until the second he spoke to me There's no way I would've missed him Then how?
Yeah!
Actually, I came here to get your autograph I'd be honored to do that for you, Killua-kun I know all my rivals on the 200th floor.
Isn't Gon with you today I guess you know everything.
Spying on the enemy today?
Not really. I just wanted to see you up close.
I see. So, what do you think of me?
Pretty impressive.
Thank you.
Your technique of hiding your presence from me was pretty impressive too But if you want it to be effective you have to start before you arrive on this floor Anyone would be wary when the aura of someone of your caliber suddenly vanishes You were keeping track of me as soon as I got off the elevator?
Sure was.
Excuse me.
Oh, sure.
Tell me something...
How'd you do that I'm afraid I can't tell you. I might fight you, too, one day.
Don't worry. I don't plan to fight here anymore Oh really? It seems that your aura is telling a very different story.
I'm just joking.
I'll show you how I did it in the match Oh, you want that autograph Never mind. I didn't even bring any paper See ya Killua-kun...
I'll be waiting at the Battle Olympia I'm sure you can make it I told you, I'm not gonna fight anymore.
This is it, the moment you've all been waiting for!
Hisoka versus Kastro... it's gonna be the battle of the century From the moment they entered the ring, they've been staring each other down.
And the match hasn't even started yet Who's going to emerge victorious in this brutal grudge match?! Will it be Hisoka Or will it be Kastro? It's anybody's guess I'm grateful, Hisoka Without your initiation, I never would've gotten this strong Who got strong?
I'll say this.
In the nine matches I've had since then... I never once fought my hardest They were all warm ups to defeat you You really shouldn't have gone to all that trouble.
But I wonder if you even have what it takes to make this fight worth my while Well, do you? Of course!
This is Hisoka versus Kastro.
Begin Here I come!
Clean hit!
His right hand?
That was just like when he got behind me How does he do it? Kastro opens the match with an impressive attack!
Hisoka failed to avoid the lighting fast strike and gives up the first point!
Get serious, Hisoka. I'm not who I was two years ago.
I won't go as easy next time What's the big hurry Whether or not it's time to get serious isn't for you to decide It's entirely up to me Hisoka's said he's gonna fight me I just started training again, but I'm.. Next time on Hunter x Hunter Bungee x Punch x One Round Battle I'm helpless against Hisoka's Nen!
