Welcome to Gaia! ::

Discuss this lovely arc here.

The second story arc involves Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio springing Killua from his parents' mansion. At the end of the second story arc, Leorio leaves for medical school and becomes a professional doctor while Kurapika leaves to find work as a Hostess, taking both characters out of the story. In the third story arc, Gon and Killua go to the Heavens Tower, a 251-floor building where people can compete in fighting tournaments around the clock for cash. It is here they meet the Kungfu master Wing, who teaches them about Nen, a chi-like energy that can be used to manifest superhuman powers. He was currently teaching a young child called Zushi. They fight in the tournament to gain money and experience. Hisoka defeats another powerful Nen user, Kastro, who was able to create and use a double made from nen. Hisoka loses both arms in the battle but Machi, a fellow Nen user, uses her Nen ability to sew them back on. Gon battles Hisoka and is able to land a few hits, but loses in the end.

Woosh gotta' love wiki.

I liked the celestial tower (sorry I'm too used to be calling it that :sweat) arc as well

Or my sister would say: Umpires wearing something not revealing

Lotsofhisokagoodnesstoo

I haven't read completely the Zaoldyeck part, but I will one day. lol

Indeeeeed biggrin

Yeah. I really want to know about the 5th Son XD

i found the Zaoldyeck family arc to be one of the more entertaining storylines... even if it was short. It really did teach you quite a bit of Killua's life was like when he was stuck at home. i too wish they would have elaborated on Karuto's elder brother Aruka... hopefully before he completes the manga he will introduce him in the series. I have a feeling he will be something like Illumi, Killua, and karuto... which I believe can be a very dealdt and sinister combination... but that's just me. As for the celestial Tower arc... i like it because it reminds me of a good old fashion tournament with some twists. Togashi Sensei did a good thing by putting that in there... We got to learn about Gon, killua, and hisoka's different abilities... and we met Wing Sensei and Zushi... though I will tell you now that, "Osu!" got on my last nerve... i would twitch every time I heard it said.

i know that osu was cute at first... but then it became too much for me to endure... it's maddening i tell you... maddening... Okay.... now... aruka... I agree that he will likely lean more toward illumi... it's just that... they never show him... He is what people call the forgotten Zaoldyeck... and my speculation is that he might be hidden away from the world because they are putting him through vicious training... That way when he shows up he will be the ultimate assassin... That... or maybe he was different.... so pacifistic that he loves butterflies and daisies and they were ashamed of him... i don't think that's it though.

that makes sense, but Karuto is already out working... i believe they showed him during the York shin arc sliding down something into the Genei Ryodan meeting place or something like that... I wouldn't Aruka be allowed to fight as well especially since since karuto is younger than him. It's too confusing... We should send a letter to Togashi Sensei and ask him about all that... but it's not likely he'll ever get it.

that's right... i forgot about that part... his father did drop him off at the Celestial Tower when he was younger... Perhaps that is the case. i wonder... karuto... he is eight or nine... am i correct?

But strangely enough... he is younger than Killua-kun.
