Princes who have already died in the succession war

Three princes have already been removed

The succession war has slowly unfolded. It all started with the Kalash ceremony, and in this battle, fourteen princes were involved. So far, the only known way to end all of this is for one prince to remain standing, which has resulted in some princes losing their lives. However, there could certainly be some other way to end the war.

The first of the fourteen princes to die was Prince Momose, the 12th prince. She is the daughter of King Nasubi and the seventh Queen Sevanti. Momoz had an interesting nen spirit animal. This rat-like animal asks its target if they are free and will continue to harass the target until they say yes. When that happens, the animal takes over the target's body and goes on a killing spree. Despite this intriguing ability, however, Momoz died of suffocation in his room.

The next prince to die was Prince Sale-Sale, the 8th Prince of Kakin. Sale-sale was never the prince that fans had high expectations for because he was too lazy and ambitious. His nen spirit animal wasn't bad, as it would take people to his side. It was tied to his libido, but since he usually didn't leave his room, he never managed to get many people on his side. Salé-Salé was killed by a nen ability known as Stand By Me.

The last prince to die so far in the story is Prince Kacho, the tenth prince and the twin sister of the 11th prince Fugetsu. Kacho is, without a doubt, the best of the slain princes so far, especially because of his strong bond with his sister. Kacho died when he and his sister tried to escape from the Black Whale, as it is not allowed to leave the area of ​​the Succession War. Kacho managed to save his sister but died in the process. Despite her death, however, Kacho is not left out of the story as her nen spirit animal has taken on her form and is sitting next to her sister.

Princes who may die next in succession wars

Succession wars will cause more casualties

Prince Luzurus

Prince Luzurus' life is now in grave danger. Fugetsu's condition is deteriorating, and some believe Luzurus, or at least his spirit nen beast, is to blame. Because of that, Beast Kacho, Melody, and Kaiser, all plan to take out Luzurus as soon as possible to save Fugetsu. A plan to remove him will soon go into action, making him one of the most likely princes to die. The group plans to eliminate him just as Kacho died. They plan to take him to a lifeboat where he will die leaving the area where the succession war is allowed. They then plan to blame his death on a drug overdose, which wouldn't be believable, seeing as how he handles drugs.

Prince Hulkenberg

Halkenburg has easily been one of the most interesting princes to follow during this succession war. He is very smart, and he also has incredible nen ability, which is known “The Boy Who Shoots the Arrow: Grimmel the Dissonance”. at present HxHHe has the corpse of Balsamil's mite.

To angle the shot at 26 degrees… I need to move forward 60 cm. Arrow Boy : Grimmel the Dissonance! Fire!! – Hulkenberg

A trusted follower of Hulkenberg, Worio tells the Kaiser that Prince Hulkenberg will die soon. It is unclear what he actually means by this, as it could only mean that Hulkenberg's original body is dead, but his consciousness lives on elsewhere. Hulkenberg's fate remains to be seen.

Prince Benjamin

Prince Benjamin was a contender with the best chances of winning the succession war, especially with his great military influence and Nen ability. However, recently he has lost his brain to the mite of Balsamil HxH. Without Mite, Benjamin is prone to making bad and hasty decisions.

This could certainly lead to his ultimate downfall. Benjamin may very well be killed, or at least captured by his younger brother, Hulkenberg. He is certainly placed in a difficult position in the story as of now.

Prince Fugetsu

Prince Fugetsu is the 11th prince of the Kakin Empire, and is also the twin sister of Kacho, one of the deceased. Fugetsu is still unaware of his sister's death, thanks to his nen spirit beast taking his form. Now, Fugetsu's condition is deteriorating. She is possessed by a low spirit and has been convinced by someone that she is capable of using her abilities infinitely every day.

The condition is this: the exit door closes if Fuu-chan enters, and the return door closes if I enter. – Kacho (guardian spirit animal)

He seems to have been given some medicine. However, neither character is quite sure what is wrong with her. Melody and Beast Kacho suspect Luzurus is behind it, but that's all theory for now. If they manage to kill Luzurus and Fugetsu remains ill, that means someone else is involved.

Fugetsu doesn't have much time left, which means if the culprit isn't found, she may very well be gone.

Prince Tubeppa

Prince Tubeppa is one of the older princes, being the fifth prince overall. Tubeppa is a very intelligent woman, but strength is where she shines, not making her a more obvious target. Tubeppa entered into an alliance with Prince Wobble and Kurapika, thanks to Lonhi's agreement. The contract states that Wobble's side will not harm him and that he will do the same. It puts him in a slightly better position. However, the real danger looming in Tubeppa is one of Benjamin's men.

Rihan, one of Benjamin's bodyguards, is a very dangerous man, and the one who caused the death of another prince, Saleh-Sale. That's all because of his interesting nen ability, known as the hunter. The hunter was able to neutralize Sale-Sale's spirit nen beast, and he may be able to do the same with Prince Tubeppa. He is currently gathering more information about her and her nen beast, and when he has enough, he can neutralize her beast and get rid of her completely. Hopefully, with Kurapika's help, her death can be avoided.
