Hunter x Hunter Volume 31 pairs the Association's election with Killua's effort to save a hospitalized Gon. The institution needs a chairman while a friend needs help, and the two demands do not have the same urgency. VIZ's premise makes this a useful next book for readers interested in what follows the battle. The change of subject gives the Association room to pursue its business while Gon's condition remains critical.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

Alluka becomes central to Killua's attempt to save Gon, and the route to that help runs through Killua's assassin family. VIZ sets this personal problem beside an election already compromised by dirty politics. The contrast is an argument about relevance: replacing a chairman can be urgent for the institution without answering the need of the person in a hospital bed. Killua must pursue a different route, through relationships the official process cannot resolve for him. The introduction of Alluka into that rescue premise makes family access, rather than public office, the resource that matters to his immediate task.
