Ep. 3: Gon and friends reach the underground Hunter Exam venue in Zaban City
Aired on October 16, 2011
Guided by navigators, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio reach Zaban City and enter a hidden exam site beneath the surface. An elevator descends one hundred floors, where they meet other candidates and receive identification numbers. Tonpa, a veteran who has failed the test thirty-five times, attempts to sabotage newcomers by offering laxative-laced beverages, but his scheme fails as no one accepts the drinks. Hisoka, a magician with a history of violence against examiners, is also present. Examiner Satotz then instructs the group to follow him for the first phase, keeping their destination and travel distance secret.
