This article contains spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter manga.

Key takeaways

• Martial law is declared in Hunter x Hunter, events make it uncertain.
• Chrollo searches for the Kakin treasure to develop nen abilities to confront Hisoka.
• Morena ends card match with Borksen at HxH 409, future uncertain.

Hunter x Hunter's The current arc, the succession war arc, will accelerate as one shocking event after another unfolds. The declaration of martial law changed everything, allowing Prince Benjamin to take over.

More characters are expected to die. Amidst all that chaos, Morena plans to end her card game with Borksen in hopes of recruiting her into the ranks.

Events leading to the declaration of martial law

• Plan Sours of Halkenburg
• Luzurus is killed

at the end of HxH 408, a major event occurred. Martial law was declared. Why or how this was announced remains a mystery for now, but Togashi will soon reveal to fans what happened, possibly HxH 409. Togashi will probably rewind time, and show what was happening elsewhere on the Black Whale while Morena and Borksen were playing their card game. During this backtrack of the story, the events leading up to the declaration of martial law will unfold.

There are many possibilities when it comes to what caused this, a large possibility being due to Halkenburg's actions. Halkenburg is currently in Might's body. However, if Benjamin caught on to his plan, or if Hulkenberg tried to kill Benjamin and failed, it would definitely lead to declaring martial law and taking control of the situation. Benjamin's Nen Beast has yet to show its potential, and may be the reason Hulkenberg fails.

Another possibility that could lead to martial law is the death of one of the princes, especially those who act as benefactors for the mafia family. The obvious prince to die in this case is Luzurus, as we see a group of characters already planning his death. Melody, Beast Kacho, and Kaiser were planning to kill Fugetsu in order to save him, and their plan may have hit the mark with his death.

Whatever happened that led to martial law, and now that it's been declared, things are going to heat up all over Black Whale. More princes will die as Benjamin takes control and chaos spreads all around. Mafia families and mobsters can be very involved in everything.

Chrollo Lucilfer's Heist may focus on HxH Chapter 409

Chrollo plans to steal the Kakin treasure

Chrollo Lucilfer will be a major character in this succession war arc HxH. He appeared a few chapters earlier, revealing his plans to readers. Chrollo Kakin is on the hunt for a national treasure. If he manages to steal them, he will be able to develop his skill hunter ability. If he evolves Skill Hunter, he can steal a powerful and rare ability, which he will use to kill Hisoka for good.

In that it is very possible HxH 409, Chrollo has already approached one of the treasures, if not already stolen it. If so, it could also explain the declaration of martial law seen at the end HxH 408. A theft of national treasure would certainly be a big deal, and would warrant a response of that degree.

Even if I have to die… This is the idea of ​​creating the fear of spiders I designed..!! – Chrollo Lucilfer

If Chrollo manages to find the treasures, he must escape the Kakin forces, or defeat them. After that, his main and true goal will appear, and that is to steal a powerful Nen ability. It's still unknown who he steals from, but whatever that ability is, fans know it will be quite powerful, making it worth the effort. Of course, in due time, he would play Hisoka with enough preparation.

Until then, however, Hisoka will continue to inflict more pain on the Phantom Troop. He is currently being pursued by Bonolenov, and the latter may well notice and kill him. Bonolenov will not only be killing Spider-Man, but perhaps the first fans will see him target the Black Whale.

Morena's Card Game ends in HxH Chapter 409

Borksen can win the game

Morena is a very interesting character HxH. The last two chapters, HxH 407 and HxH 408, were too prominent for him. After kidnapping Borksen, she forces him to play a card game that will determine his fate. Borksen could either die, join Morena or possibly cancel the game. It all depends on what cards are left with in the end.

Now, readers are left with the events at the end HxH 408, Borksen is left with two cards, the No card, which will sign her death, or the R card, which will allow her to restore any card from the graveyard, including the X card, which saves her life and allows her to leave. the place What does Borksen choose? HxH 409 will mostly depend on her luck, unless Morena is currently cheating in some way.

Depending on how the match is going, it's possible that Borksen wins if Togashi wants her to stay alive. If Borksen has an R card left, this gives him the option to reinstate any card he's already discarded, and since Borksen doesn't want to leave the area to join Morena, his likely choice will be the X card. The X card cancels the entire game. It is unlikely that Borksen has any intention of joining Morena. Thus, he will not bring back a card such as a yes card, for example, unless Morena can persuade him somewhat.

I've done my own research, so there may be some margin of error, but I believe the experts are about one in every 3000 people. – Morena Prudhoe

Borksen will probably choose Morena's yes card and ask for an explanation of what happens if she chooses a yes card. What Morena says can be quite tempting, especially when it comes to how she wants to fill Borksen with Hell-Ly.

It's hard to guess what Togashi is planning with Morena and Borksen, but there's also a chance they'll be interrupted by two members of the Phantom Troop, Phaeton and Finks, who are currently on their way to Hel-Lai's hideout, it seems. In previous chapters. Feitan and Phinks are following the transmitter left by Heinrich at the Heil-Ly hideout. If they manage to get there before a member of Heil-Ly makes its appearance, then they will succeed.

The main issue is that they cannot attack Morena or her pawns directly, and instead, they can only act in self-defense. Fans know this is one thing that will prove complicated. They may be the reason that Borksen made it out alive and is able to relay the information from Morena to his fellow soldiers. This information could be damaging to Morena and her cause.
