Hunter x Hunter Episode 117: Insult x and x Payback

Outside the palace, **Zeno** is trying to leave when **Cheetu** keeps bothering him and demanding a fight, wanting to test a new ability he has learned. Zeno refuses and warns him to be careful, but before the confrontation can go anywhere, **Silva** suddenly strikes from behind and crushes Cheetu, killing him instantly.

Inside the palace area, **Knuckle** continues fighting **Menthuthuyoupi** while carrying the badly injured **Shoot** away. Knuckle realizes that Youpi had seen Shoot on the ground earlier but did not bother to finish him off, and both he and Shoot feel humiliated that their opponent seems to be dismissing them.

At the same time, **Killua** leaves the room and thinks back to the moment when **Gon** had believed the mission meant nothing to him. The earlier scream Gon let out has also led **Meleoron** to their location.

When Knuckle returns into Youpi’s view, Youpi loses his temper, transforms into a massive form, and attacks with overwhelming force. Knuckle is forced to flee with Shoot as Youpi unleashes a newly discovered Nen attack called **Rage Blast**, causing a huge explosion that shakes the battlefield and terrifies even **Welfin**, who is nearby in the courtyard. After the blast, Youpi feels a mix of satisfaction and emptiness, and he realizes this power could be used to protect the King and eliminate intruders.

From above, Knuckle watches Youpi and begins planning his next move. Rather than backing down, he decides to provoke Youpi into getting angry again so that he can attack during another Rage Blast opportunity.
