The creator, Yoshihiro Togashi, announced that the series is moving to irregular releases, but hopefully, these upcoming chapters should follow a weekly schedule! He's already revealed to be very close to being done! This has been huge news and gives all fans a whole lot to look forward to.
Chapter #401 Summary
Chapter #401 blew everyone away! What really brought some major surprises for all was an unexpected alliance that shifted the game totally and changed the Succession War! There was this wild moment between Kurapika and Longhi, guard of the fifth Prince, Tubeppa!
- It involved learning Longhi’s Nen ability, revealing that she was Beyond Netero’s daughter!
- Netero groomed and manipulated many of his children as his soldiers, having them be loyal to The Succession War.
- Netero’s children are cursed! If they kill any of the Princes involved, they themselves will die! That certainly makes people take pause!
- It seemed Beyond Netero’s had a child who took part in The Succession War years before! And he played his part to have them given a strategic advantage.
- Longhi made up an interesting Nen contract to create a one-week cease-fire with the option to keep renewing it, so those parties fighting each other may want to put their battles aside. She really made some incredible conditions to these powerful people and that is just incredible and brought to a forefront that if Kurapika can discover Beyond Netero’s hidden child, she'll share her ability to help him! This is such an amazing and unpredictable alliance!
With things shaping up! We see that Kurapika made an alliance! Making him join up with Prince Zhang-Lei which made it incredibly powerful! On the other side of the world. Beyond Netero makes it clear he’s looking to make a meeting with some influential person. This might indicate what’s really happening behind the scenes. We’ll see! That is a bit unpredictable considering he is at a high threat level for security! It all gets much more intriguing as the events unfolded and will change things.
What To Expect in Chapter #402
We've gotten a hint about the series. Togashi may drop another bombshell by revealing who Beyond Netero wanted to meet, explaining his huge scheme and who could be part of his conspiracy!
We don't get to only focus on one part. Other plots should have updates too:
- Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan continue to search for Hisoka!
- Melody's investigating Kacho’s murder
- We’ll potentially see Kaiser meeting Kurapika because of Melody's requests
- Kurapika might tell Kaiser what he just learned, making a discussion about these characters' legal and ethical issues, which may give another perspective of just how intriguing these stories will truly become!
The Return of Hunter X Hunter
Hunter X Hunter’s back with some killer new chapters and art. There's no way anyone missed the excitement when it returned. Togashi is clearly a top talent! What made the chapter truly remarkable, was the new plot twists!
The series shows its history. The Succession War arc which takes over 41 chapters has given many big plot elements, all building toward an exciting and unpredictable climax.
- Fans can watch the awesome Tsseriendich’s training!
- The new chapters will give updates on Beyond Netero's evil plans
- You will see what happens in the Phantom Troupe's continuing investigation!
- Morena's impact
- Kurapika's new power-ups
