During the initial bout of the final stage, Hisoka and Kurapika engage in combat. Initially, Hisoka toys with his opponent, but as Kurapika grows angry, their skill levels equalize. This shift compels Hisoka to force himself to calm down. He subsequently whispers something to Kurapika and officially declares himself the loser of the match. Consequently, Kurapika achieves the status of a Hunter. This event is part of the Hunter Exam arc, specifically identified as episode 27 out of 31.
