As the War of Succession intensifies, the death of one of the Kakin princes is almost inevitable in HxH.
Fans can also expect to see the Phantom Troupe back on stage as the story traces back to the mafia war that was unfolding. Taking all this into consideration, HxH chapter 405 will be an intense affair.
Halkenburg's plan is finally put into action
The fall of Prince Benjamin is near
Halkenburg is a character that has exceeded all expectations fans had thus far. He is shown to be incredibly calculative and willing to put anything on the line for his ultimate goal.
In HxH 404, his Nen ability, The boy who shoots the arrow: Grimmel The dissonanceit was explained much later. It was revealed that when Halkenburg shoots an arrow and it hits his target, one person in his group switches consciousness with the target. This makes Halkenburg's ability much more limited than previously thought as the target's consciousness can be awakened if the person he is swapped with falls asleep.
Despite the limitations, Halkenburg still has a crazy plan that he will put into action soon. He plans to finish the succession battle after his body dies inside Might. This means that physically Halkenburg will die, but he will still be in this war of succession since his mind is still there.
The time I will have before Balsamilco's mind awakens can only be vaguely defined, but I will be able to control this body for approximately ten hours after my own body dies. I have to finish it by that time! —Halkenburg
Halkenburg's main target may well be the first Prince Benjamin, just so he can return the favor. With Benjamin believing that Halkenburg is completely dead, he would let his guard down, which would cost him dearly. With the release of Benjamin and the dropping of the charges against Halkenburg's bodyguards, he will go on a truly enormous spree. In the end, when they face each other, Halkenburg will demonstrate his true strength.
Halkenburg's body will be transported from level 3 up to level 1. His mind is in power and he will have 10 hours to act and finish. Along the way, they might definitely run into some trouble, which might include mafia families or the ghost company. In any case, Halkenburg will change the war of succession, whether he manages to end it or not. The next 10 hours in Hunter
In HxH Chapter 405, there's definitely a chance that Halkenburg will try to take over Benjamin's body, but it's unknown how exactly that would work due to his current situation. It is also important to note that Benjamin's nen beast spirit has not yet shown its abilities. This could potentially save Benjamin and spell the end of Halkenburg.
The story goes back to the ghost company
The mafia war resumes
In the last panel of HxH 404, the story is brought back to the Phantom Troupe, which is what was focused on at the end of the last batch of chapters 2 years ago. Nobunaga, Feitan and Phinks will be the main protagonists in the next chapters. When last seen, they were headed to Heil-Ly's hideout after Hinrigh managed to hide a transmitter there.
HxH 404 showed that Nobunaga doesn't want to go there yet, because he wants to check out something else first. In Hunter X Hunter Chapter 405, these 3 members of the Phantom Troupe are likely to check some things with the other members of the mafia family first.
Depending on how things go with Nobunaga, Feitan and Phinks and the other two mafia families, it could be that Nobunaga calls in the rest of the ghost company, which could cause a lot of chaos. Morena is certainly not to be underestimated and could give his all to the Troupe.
Hisoka might make a move too HxH chapter 405, which would only make the mafia conspiracy more intense.
Luzurus' death causes martial law
- Melody and her group plan to kill Luzurus
- The death of a mafia benefactor could result in martial law
In HxH 404, Kurapika interacts extensively with the third prince, Zhang Lei, regarding his Nen ability and the potential safety of Prince Woble. Kurapika had considered placing Prince Woble in Prince Zhang Lei's room for protection, but thought this could end very badly due to Zhang Lei being a benefactor of a mafia family. Kurapika believes that Benjamin could go after one of the three benefactor princes to have an excuse to enact martial law, something that would give him full power.
However, unbeknownst to Prince Benjamin, someone else is already planning an attack on one of the three benefactors. In fact, Melody, as well as Kaiser and Beast Kacho, are planning to assassinate the seventh prince Luzurus because they suspect he is behind Fugetsu's decline. Luzurus has ties to the Cha-R family and is their benefactor.
If Luzurus dies, Benjamin can blame it on a mob hit, rather than what Kaiser had planned, which was to blame it on a drug overdose. Benjamin could use this as an excuse to enact martial law and throw everything into chaos.
In Hunter X Hunter chapter 405, the assassination attempt will probably get closer and fans will see Melody and her group somehow transport Luzurus from his room to the area with the lifeboats. The goal is for him to die leaving the area allowed by the War of Succession. This will have huge repercussions if successful, and the worst part is that this may not even stop Fugetsu's declining state as Luzurus may, in fact, not be involved at all.
Prince Camilla causes trouble for Kurapika
Prince Woble may be in danger
For the first time, Prince Camilla decided to send one of her bodyguards to the nen laboratory. Camilla definitely doesn't have good intentions. Kurapika is already dealing with a lot at the moment, so Camilla causing him even more problems could make things more sour. As it stands, Kurapika is already dealing with the Silent Majority and, for this reason, he may decide to send Prince Woble to Zhang Lei's house, which seems like the only functional option at the moment.
The problem is how the role is cut! The role that has maintained this balance for so long may seem fragile, but it is actually strong… — Kurapika
Meanwhile Camilla has sent her bodyguard to protect some secrets. This means that Prince Camilla has something hidden that he doesn't want revealed. This may require attention Hunter x hunter chapter 405, and Camilla could be a central character in the next chapters.
