Kurapika, Gon, Killua and Leorio find out that the spiders are still alive and that the bodies were fake. The mafia has given up on chasing the Spiders, but Gon and Killua decide to continue to help Kurapika.

Kuraptika explains his abilities to Gon, Killua and Leorio. Then they set out to find the Genei Ryodan. The brigade decides to stay and find the chain-user after sensing the location of the nen-copied scarlet eyes.

A double chase ensues when the Brigade notice Gon and Kuraptika following from behind while they chase after the nen-copy of the scarlet eyes. Three of the Spiders confront Gon and Kurapika who are hiding in the shadows.

Killua swaps with Kuraptika just in time - he and Gon are captured by the Phantom Brigade. The Spiders kill Squala and take his memories of Kuraptika. Meanwhile, Gon's group ends up at the hotel where Leorio and Senritsu have set up a plan.

The plan is put into action: The boss of the Ryodan, Chrollo Lucilfer is captured by Kuraptika. Gon and Killua however, are unable to escape.

Negotiations between Kuraptikas team and the Genei Ryodan are initiated to exchange Kuroro for Killua and Gon.

The conditions for the exchange are negotiated and Hisoka sees his chance to fullfil his prophecy.

Since Chrollo's Nen ability was sealed, Hisoka looses interest in the battle with him and revealed that the tattoo of his spider status was fake. Pakunoda transfers her memories to six Ryondan members and as a result dies for not obeying the chain's rules.
