Gon keeps talking with Ging, who lays out what the 'outside' world requires before you can even depart: permission, route, qualification, and negotiation — none of which he himself has gathered yet, let alone a school that teaches any of it. Ikalgo admits he is a Zoldyck butler, having been posing as Gotoh all along. In the ruined palace, Komugi and Meruem lie side by side, hands still joined, two Gungi pieces beside them.
