You know how the main character's dad is always this big shot with a lot of power at this disposal? Imagine if he just did whatever he felt like.

Ging changing his friend's name is funny, but Greed Island being an acronym is bad.

You know how I compared the concept of Hunters to Dungeons and Dragons player characters early on?

Ging is a level 20 guy who finished his adventure a while back and can now just do whatever the gently caress he wants

So they can take any three of the 100 restricted slot cards, but most of them aren't shown in any detail in the show itself.

There's a whole variety in there, a bunch of them pretty cool.

Paladin's Necklace removes illusions placed on other cards.
Blue Planet is an expensive jewel.
Strip of Beach is what it's called. But actually it was a spell card disguised as one of the cards he was allowed to take.

So wait, wasn’t Bisky’s original plan to gently caress with Gon and Killua’s friendship? I remember her scheming to “ruin” something or other in one of the earlier episodes.

Ohhhhh, that’s an unfortunate choice of alias. Of course, Ging seems like the kind of guy who’d choose it even if he knew what it looked like.
