The Chimera Ants incident radically changed the world, for better or worse. And perhaps the most significant blow came with the "resignation" of Netero as Chairman of the Hunter Association. But thanks to his and Gon's sacrifice, the world can rest without worries of being enslaved or eaten. But now there are two issues that must be addressed: 1. Electing a new chairman, and 2. Rescuing Gon from his life-threatening condition.

Before Chairman Netero went to head off the Chimera Ant threat, he filmed a video with basic guidelines on what to do should he meet his untimely demise. The Hunter Association must now elect a new Chairman, and Netero places the onus on the Zodiacs, his most trusted aides, to see the process through.

The Zodiacs are twelve top Hunters handpicked by the Chairman himself to help manage the Association during times of emergency, including Gon's own father Ging! With all this star power running the show, an election doesn't seem like such a tough job to handle. However, the mischievous Pariston has other plans in mind...

While the Hunter Association is embroiled in an election stalemate and squabbling amongst each other, Gon's life hangs in the balance. Having made an unholy contract to gather enough power to defeat the Chimera Ant Neferpitou, Gon now lies unconscious and on the verge of death.

Despite the first-class medical attention Gon receives, he's still in critical condition. Even Nen Exorcists cannot fix his damaged body, but Killua knows a way he can save Gon. However, Killua's solution might cause even more problems for everyone else...

Will a new Hunter Chairman ever be elected? Will Gon survive the aftermath of his catastrophic fight against Neferpitou? Find out by reading volumes 30–32, available HERE!
