Hunter x Hunter Episode 118: A x False x Rage

Menthuthuyoupi uses **Rage Blast** in the palace, sending the central tower into danger, but Morel cushions the damage with **Smoky Jail**. From the crater, Youpi emerges and deliberately pretends to be even angrier so he can lure **Knuckle** into attacking him again.

When **A.P.R.** gains more interest, Youpi strikes it away, trying to stop Knuckle’s plan. Inside the throne room, Morel prepares to stall Shaiapouf no matter what happens outside, but Pouf’s isolation in his cocoon lets him send tiny organisms through the smoke barrier, making his escape from Morel’s confinement possible.

Meanwhile, **Ikalgo** searches underground for **Palm** and finds a hidden message she left behind. The note indicates that she has gone into the palace and that, if she does not respond before the mission begins, she should be treated as dead. Ikalgo continues through the underground area and becomes suspicious of the people he encounters, including **Bloster**.

Back at the crater, Youpi continues acting as though he has lost control, trying to bait Knuckle into revealing himself. His plan works partially when Knuckle moves in, and Youpi’s attack is interrupted by a powerful lightning strike that leaves him briefly paralyzed. Using that opening, Knuckle lands **eight hits** on Youpi before retreating upward.

As Knuckle pulls back, Youpi is left trying to understand what just happened. When Killua appears above the crater, Youpi recognizes him as the same boy who had attacked earlier on the staircase. Killua then jumps into the fight himself, taking on Youpi while Knuckle regroups.
