Hunter x Hunter Chapter 406: Chrollo's Determination

This article contains spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter manga.

Key points

• Chrollo intends to die to defeat Hisoka in chapter 406, with the hunt for a special treasure potentially leading to his death.
• The Xi-Yu want to avenge Lynch's death, potentially putting Bonolenov in danger in the next chapter.
• Bonolenov follows Hisoka, putting himself in a dangerous situation where he could be the next member of the Phantom Troupe to die.

Togashi maintained a steady release of Hunter x hunter chapters from the manga's return from a two-year hiatus. Now a month and a half has passed since the return Hunter x hunterfans are waiting for the release of Hunter x hunter chapter 406. This chapter will delve into the character of Chrollo Lucilfer, in particular, a beloved antagonist and leader of the Phantom Troupe.

This arc of Hunter x hunter it could very well be the end of many beloved groups and characters in this series, which also includes the Phantom Troupe.

Chrollo's hunt for his treasure may be highlighted in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 406

Crollo intends to die

In Hunter x hunter 405, Chrollo was a passing character as he focused more on other characters, such as Hisoka or Heil-Ly. During the few moments Chrollo spent in that chapter, Bonolenov mentioned that he was looking for a special treasure. This treasure is found on the Black Whale and for now it is unknown what exactly it will be. This treasure will be used to kill Hisoka once and for all. From all this information, it's easy to deduce that the treasure Chrollo is looking for is perhaps a Nen ability from someone on this ship. This Nen ability would be powerful enough to kill Hisoka and keep him dead. It's also possible that instead of being a Nen ability, it could also be an artifact with power. Whatever it is, this treasure will probably kill Hisoka, but it will also cause Chrollo's death.

Chrollo, based on what the other members of the Troupe seem to observe, is ready to die to take down Hisoka, which is why the other Spiders are trying to get to Hisoka first, in order to save Chrollo. Chrollo's determination, however, will likely mark his end, and likely the end of the Phantom Troupe in this story arc. The next chapter, that is Hunter X Hunter chapter 406, could show Chrollo getting closer to whatever treasure he is looking for. This treasure may be in the possession of some Kakin royalty, such as a prince, or perhaps even a queen.

Everyone knows that this time he wants to solve the matter himself once and for all… and that the “treasure” he seeks on this ship is an ability he will need to kill Hisoka once and for all… that's why everyone they want to kill Hisoka first and foremost. Chrollo can reach him. —Bonolenov

The next chapters will definitely be important not only for Chrollo, but also for the Phantom Troupe in general, as many of its members are in the spotlight, such as Nobunaga and Bonolenov.

The Xi-Yu want revenge

• Bonolenov killed Lynch
• Hinrigh and Zakura are hunting

In HxH 405, Bonolenov was a rather important character who took over most of this chapter. In that chapter, he revealed that he was disguised as Hisoka when he met the Xi-Yu and during that meeting he was discovered by a member of the Xi-Yu, Lynch Fullboko, as a fake Hisoka. For this reason, Bonolenov resorted to killing. He tried to disguise his death so he wouldn't be involved, but the Xi-Yu are definitely smarter than that, especially Hinrigh, who is shown to be quite intelligent and calculating.

The members of Xi-Yu, which probably includes Hinrigh and Zakuro, will perhaps find his body HxH 406. Depending on how important Lynch was to them, this could mean that they wanted revenge for his death. Killing a member of their mafia family could be a serious crime.

Whatever happens next surely depends on who takes the blame for his death. Bonolenov was disguised as Hisoka when it all happened, so if they're going to blame anyone for his death, it's entirely possible it will be Hisoka. This means that the Xi-Yu will probably go after Hisoka. The Xi-Yu have no real means at this time to link this back to the Ghost Troupe, so they should be safe for now. However, this could change and have a negative impact on the relationship between Nobunaga and Hinrigh, which could impact the entire Heil-Ly family operation.

HxH Chapter 406 could definitely start with Hinrigh and Zakura finding Lynch's body somewhere, and from there fans will have to see how events unfold.

Hisoka and Bonolenov are very important for Hunter X Hunter chapter 406

• Bonolenov follows Hisoka
• Bonolenov could be in danger

An important goal of HxH 405 was the revelation of Hisoka's whereabouts. In fact, the Hisoka that fans had previously seen in other chapters was not the real Hisoka, but a fake. This fake was obtained with Bonolenov's Nen ability, Metamorphosen. Bonolenov, who was posing as Hisoka, has now transformed into another form. So far, it is unclear whether Hisoka is aware that he is being followed, but knowing Hisoka's skill level and power, it is not unlikely that he does.

If Hisoka knows about Bonolenov, he could lure him to a different location on this level of the Black Whale to eliminate him. As fans know, Hisoka has made it his goal to eliminate, one by one, every single member of the Phantom Troupe, including Bonolenov. With all this in mind, the next death among the Phantom Troupe could very well be Bonolenov, as he seems to be in the most compromising situation at the moment. Hisoka is extremely powerful, and to make matters worse for Bonolenov, Hisoka's Nen ability, Bungee Gum, is a perfect counter to Bonolenov's powers.

You see, I'm normal. I'm not interested in bestiality or orgy, I can't get excited. I'm just a guy who wants to be with someone one on one… so we can love each other to death. —Hisoka

Hisoka could easily incapacitate him by rendering him immobile or even plugging his holes with Bungee Gum, making it impossible for him to play music and activate his powers. This encounter is very bad for Bonolenov, and unless he finds a way to escape and bring the information he has gathered back to Chrollo and the others, he may very well die. This would send Chrollo into an even worse state of mind, with the death of each Spider only further strengthening his resolve to kill Hisoka, even if it means going down with him.
