In the meantime he has also arrived on the island NeteroPresident of the Hunter Association, with Morau and Nobu. So the three start cleaning up ants while Gon and Killua return to training biscuit.

The two young men then return to Neo Green Life Pharm, a student of Nobu. Realizing that Kaito’s body was turned into a puppet by the Antichimera, the hunters team up with Nobu and Morau to do it.

Gon and Neferpito go to Kaito’s body, which the anteater finds definitively dead and never recoverable.
