What is the context of this Hunter x Hunter reference in Inou Battle manga chapter 2?


In chapter 2 of _Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de_ manga adaptation, we
can see that the middle panel makes a reference to Dragon Ball's meme ["It's
over 9000!"](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/It%27s_Over_9000!). The line
[was actually "It's over 8000!" in the original Japanese
manga](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/752/has-the-its-
over-9000-meme-spread-back-to-japan), and this explains why Andou only counts
up to 8000. The censored word is
[Scouter](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Scouter), which is the device to
measure power level.

However, I don't recognize the reference on the left most panel. Searching for
the censored word reveals that it is
[Menthuthuyoupi](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Menthuthuyoupi) from
_Hunter x Hunter_. However, I don't read the manga, so I don't understand the
reference.

Which scene from _Hunter x Hunter_ does this reference come from? And what is
the context that makes it worth referenced by another author?




The first reference, "Bankruptcy Chapter 7," is referring to one of
[Knuckle](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Knuckle_Bine)'s abilities. Doing
so, he lends his opponent some of his
[_nen_](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Nen), but while they use it, they
are charged "interest" on it, meaning they have to repay that much _nen_ back
to him.[1]

The reference here is that the male character is wondering how long it would
take for Bankruptcy Chapter 7 to completely "bankrupt" her _chuuni_ powers
from her.

This is explicitly seen in a fight between Knuckle and Youpi (for short),
during which Knuckle uses this ability on Youpi. It is revealed that Youpi has
excessively high levels of _nen_. Knuckle states, comparing Youpi to the
"boss" ([Morel](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Morel_Mackernasey))[2]:

> Five times what the boss has? Ten times? More? I can't tell! **Assuming he's
> ten times stronger... with 700,000 aura...** how long will it take before he
> [is hit by Bankruptcy Chapter 7]?

This is reinforced by a quote on the Wiki:

> Menthuthuyoupi is an Enhancer. Knuckle estimates the size of
> Menthuthuyoupi's aura to be at least 10 times greater than Morel's, **or at
> least 700,000**.
>
> — [_Hunter x Hunter_ Wiki,
> Menthuthuyoupi](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Menthuthuyoupi#Nen)

The reference here is just made to compare the scathingly high levels of
Youpi's aura and drives home that her _chuuni_ power is supposedly... over
700,000.
