* AllJustADream: The film opens with Killua doing an assassination mission with Illumi supervising him. He manages to pull it off easily. But when he ends up in an alley where some kids are playing soccer, the ball ends up bouncing to him and he's poised to kick it back. Illumi goes to attack them to prove his point about Killua not needing friends. Then Killa wakes up, revealing he's dreaming and on a passenger blimp with Gon.

* NewFriendEnvy: Since Illumi has been drilling in his head that Killua doesn't need friends, the latter's insecurities flared up when Gon introduces Retz as a new friend he met. He acts rude to her whenever Gon gives her attention and is quite suspicious that he will [[spoiler: betray them, even confronting Gon about his scenario. Gon's TakingTheBullet moment hit him really hard and he's more sympathetic to her after hearing the truth, ultimately trying to save her in the end.]]

The story, apparently taking place between the Yorknew City and Greed Island arcs, follows Kurapika suddenly getting his eyes stolen by a mysterious priest who uses a likeness of one of his friends for the Kurputia clan. Luckily Leorio was with him when the deed happened and gets in contact with Gon and Killua who agree to go look for and retrieve his eyes. Along the way, they meet a young puppeteer girl name Retsu who joins them on their quest.

* BackFromTheDead: Subverted, Uvogin ''seems'' to have been brought back and attack Gon and Killua, with neither managing to so much as land a scratch on him. But Nobunaga arrives and swiftly behead him, revealing it was just a puppet.
* BigDamnHeroes: Hisoka comes to the group's aid when Omokage set puppets of the Phantom Troupe at the group. The real ones later come to finish their dopplegangers off.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Gon and Kurapika get their eyes back and Omokage is defeated, but Retsu, understanding she's nothing more than a puppet, decides to "die" along with Omokage after she kill him, stating that she's nothing more then a memory. Though she thanks the group for stopping her brother.]]
* ContinuityNod: When the Phantom Troupe run into Kurapika at the climax of the movie, they reframe from attacking him since, at the time of the movie, their leader, Chrollo, was still under Kurapika's Judgement Chain that he placed on him during Yorknew arc. And one of the requirements was that they couldn't harm him or his friends otherwise the chain would pierce Chrollo's heart. Of course they do vow to settle the score with Kurapika someday along with Hisoka who had betrayed them.

* ItsAllMyFault: Killua ''really'' takes it hard after [[spoiler: Gon's eyes are stolen]], blaming himself for letting it happen to the point he nearly hits a DespairEventHorizon and DrivenToSuicide via standing in front of an incoming train. Luckily Gon saves him.
* PeoplePuppets: Omokage's Nen ability though skews pretty close to {{Necromancy}}. He can make puppets from the deceased even with their personalities intact, but lack one thing when initially created: eyes. Hence why Omokage goes after Kurapika.

As things progress it turns out this priest, named Omokage, was one of the former Phantom Troupe before he left them, which gets the Phantoms involved int he hunt as well, plus that Retsu might have a connection with Omokage as well.
