Non-Nen users from the mafia attack the Phantom Troupe but fail to harm them. Uvogin catches a bullet with his teeth and survives a bazooka shot. Four Shadow Beasts members arrive, appearing stronger than Kurapika’s companions, yet they are also defeated by a single Phantom Troupe member. This event occurs during the Yorknew City arc, specifically episode 9 of 26. The confrontation highlights the overwhelming power disparity between the Nen users of the Phantom Troupe and their opponents, including both the initial mafia attackers and the subsequent Shadow Beasts reinforcements.
