Ep. 33: Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika endure intense training at the Zoldyck estate
Aired on July 1, 2000

33
Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika reside in the Zoldyck family's servants' quarters under the direction of the security guards. Zebro allows them entry through the Testing Gate, which weighs tons, prompting Gon to reflect on his own strength. During their stay, the guard subjects them to rigorous physical conditioning using weighted brooms, water buckets, slippers, cups, and various other items. This intensive regimen significantly enhances their physical capabilities. After 20 days, the trio gains sufficient strength to open the gate independently and proceeds to walk through the grounds toward the main house. Gon and Kurapika successfully push open the first gate weighing 2 tons, while Leorio demonstrates enough power to handle the second gate.
