| Here we see a wild Gon giving his opponent a brain aneurysm. |
And it turns out the Final Phase is ... a losers bracket. Basically, if a Candidate wins one fight by getting their opponent to surrender, they pass the Exam. The person who loses all their matches will fail at this final hurdle. And they can't kill their opponent (sorry, Hisoka). The tournament is seeded so that the best Candidates get the most chances, with the bracket setting up like this:
Fight 1: Gon vs. Hanzo (bald ninja)
Fight 2: Kurapika vs. Hisoka
Fight 3: Pokkle (poison dart dude) vs. Loser of Fight 1
Fight 4: Bodoro (old dude) vs. Loser of Fight 2
Fight 5: Killua vs. Loser of Fight 3
Fight 6: Leorio vs. Loser of Fight 4
Fight 7: Pinhead vs. Loser of Fight 5
Fight 8: Loser of Fight 6 vs. Loser of Fight 7
In Fight 1, Gon gets beaten up quite badly by Hanzo. But, he refuses to surrender, no matter what Hanzo does to him, including breaking his arm. Hanzo realizes he can't force Gon to surrend, and he can't just kill Gon to end the fight. So, Hanzo surrenders, meaning Gon and his protagonist power of will has won the fight and passed the Hunter's Exam! Yay! Although, I feel like now is a good time to ask this, am I a bad person for wanting to see Gon get knocked down a few pegs at some point? Does that make me a horrible person?
