Hunter x Hunter Chapter 405 is highly anticipated by fans, seeing how Togashi is building a lot of hype around this current succession tournament arc.

Shikari x Hunter's The succession war between the Kakin will continue to heat up as all the plot lines that have been built up so far start to align, and groups like mafia families and the Phantom Troop start to get involved. Hisoka's comeback is definitely a possibility.

Hisoka and the phantom group return to the main focus

Accounts will be located by a group member

2 years ago, during the 10-chapter batch released by Togashi, much of the focus was placed on the members of the Phantom Group, with the author also revealing their backstories in Meteor City. An interesting turn of events came when fans saw the return of Hisoka Moro – a character never seen before in Black Whale. Since then, however, Hisoka has been out of the story, but that may change HxH Chapter 405.

As fans know from chapter 404, some members of Phantom Troop were seen in the picture. Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan were on their way to the Heil-Ly hideout, but decided to chat with the other mafia families first.

in HxH In Chapter 405, Nobunaga and his group can be seen interrogating two other mafia families, in other words, the Xi-Yu and Cha-R families. Based on the information he receives from them, he may have to call in other group members, making the whole attack on Hel-Lie.

Thanks to Hinirg for putting the transmitter where they can't find it, we have time. I want to check with the other two families before going to the Heil-Ly hideout – Nobunaga

It is also possible that now, after so long, a member of the group will finally find Hisoka. A spider discovering Hisoka could mean a final confrontation with him. It's not unlikely that Nobunaga's group would be the ones to confront him if he was found, especially given Chrollo's poor condition following the deaths of Shalnark and Kortopi. If a battle breaks out between Hisoka's and Nobunaga's factions, it's hard to say who will win.

Hisoka is definitely stronger than ever, and can take on three powerful spiders by himself, possibly meaning new deaths among the Phantom Troop, which only makes the other members angry and determined to take him down. Chaos will break out in Black Whale.

Morena and the Heil-Ly family

The Heil-Ly family is planning something

Morena is currently one of the most dangerous people on the Black Whale, possessing a highly problematic Nen ability. As fans already know, Morena's underlings must level up by killing people. When fans see Morena and her underlings again, they have definitely grown in power, especially Dogman, her right-hand man. If Dogman levels up, he will start infecting people as well.

Besides, Morena and her mafia family will definitely have something on Black Whale. With Spider's return in HxH 404, it is very likely that she will be seen soon, potentially HxH 405. In particular, Heil-Ly may be taking advantage of Halkenburg's physical death to create chaos. This chaos, if not stopped, may very well lead Prince Benjamin to resort to martial law. If Benjamin resorted to this, the consequences would be very dire for the other princes, as he would be captured by military force.

Heil-Ly may be using Hulkenberg's death to try to kill someone, though it's unclear who that might be. However, it could be a member of another mafia family, or a member of a phantom group. The Heil-Ly are a very dangerous group that should not be underestimated, and their involvement will be a huge catalyst in the Succession War.

Assassination of Prince Luzurus

Prince Luzurus could be the next victim

in HxH Chapter 403, Melody, as well as Beast Kacho and Kaiser were plotting the assassination of the Seventh Prince Luzurus. All of them were hoping to save Fugetsu from a terrible fate. Fugetsu is under the influence of some kind of drug, and his kingdom is only dwindling, requiring some urgent action from his allies to ensure his survival.

in HxH Chapter 404, it was decided that they would try this assassination soon. It means this HxH 405 may be the beginning of the assassination of Luzurus. To get just that, they have to use Fugetsu's ability to transport him to the area where the lifeboat is. Once there, they would put him in a lifeboat and float him away. Leaving the area of ​​the Succession War is strictly forbidden, and disobeying it will result in one's death, something they discover as Kacho suffers the same fate.

The success rate of this mission seems to be high, the group has well prepared their plan of action. However, the death of Luzurus could be a very bad move, as he is beneficial to the mafia family, the Cha-ar family to be specific. If a mafia benefactor dies, this can be used as an excuse for Prince Benjamin to invoke martial law. This would allow the army to take over, making Benjamin a powerful authority who could arrest and potentially execute his siblings. The plan to assassinate Luzurus could turn sour very quickly.

Halkenburg in action

Benjamin's downfall is coming soon

The highlight of HxH chapter 404 was undoubtedly Halkenburg. After taking Mite's body, his real body died, leaving him 10 hours to act. Halkenburg will definitely play a bigger role in the upcoming HxH chapters. Hulkenberg's main target will be Benjamin, as he accompanies his dead body to Black Whale's Tier 1.

The time I have until Balsamilco's mind is reawakened can only be fixed slowly, but I will be able to control this body for about ten hours after the death of my own body. I have to finish it within that time! – Hulkenberg

Hulkenberg, if he can get to Benjamin, could potentially end the life of the first prince. As fans have seen, she is not a character to be underestimated. His nen ability is quite strong, though the extent of what he can do remains to be questioned. If his abilities allow him, he can take Benjamin's body. This would give Hulkenberg full military power and make him the most dangerous prince on the Black Whale. The only real threat to Halkenberg is Benjamin's Nen Beast, whose abilities are still unknown to fans, and of course for good reason. This Nen animal may be the cause of Halkenburg's failure and death.
