Hunters dedicate their lives to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass earn the right to call themselves Hunters.

After narrowly escaping the traps and trials awaiting them on Zevil Island, Gon and his friends approach the end of their exams! But there's no time to celebrate--the final phase is a series of one-on-one battles. The winner of each round automatically passes the Hunter Exam, and the defeated must continue competing against each other. When Gon faces a ruthless opponent in his first match, can muster the strength to make it through?
