in HxH 403, the third prince of the Kaqin Empire, Zhang Li, had decided to visit Kurapika in hopes of understanding the power of his Nen Spirit Beast. Zhang Li had his own theories about the coins his beast was dropping, but he believed that someone as experienced as Kurapika could understand what they were doing.

HxH 404 started with Kurapika and Zhang Li seeing the coins. Kurapika theorized that whenever a coin is flipped, something is likely to change. It was shown that the coins Zhang Li gave and the coins he held each had different designs on the back.

Zhang Li then gave Kurapika ten coins—something that would be dangerous to do if the effects of those coins were immediate. However, considering Zhang Li's position, it was unacceptable for Kurapika to refuse, and it would jeopardize their alliance. In any case, the ten coins changed the second Kurapika.


This led Kurapika to deduce what he believed the power of this nen beast to be. Kurapika describes this ability as Cumulative Conjuration. Over a period of 6 months, the coins will be worth 10^64 and until then, the owner of the coin can unlock nen without any training.

The problem is how the role is interrupted! A role that has maintained this balance for so long may seem fragile, but it is actually strong… – Kurapika

However, there is one more thing about this ability that Kurapika doesn't make public. He discovers that this ability also has a quasi-compulsive manipulation power. Anyone who has it is forced to become loyal to Zhang Li in some way, although it is not yet clear how this is done.


Kurapika learns that Kauntoba, one of Benjamin's bodyguards, stole one of those coins a while ago. If the quasi-forced manipulation of this nen beast begins, Kauntoba will be one of the first to feel the effects. And now that one of those coins has been given to Kurapika, he too may be in danger and potentially influenced by Zhang Li.

Additionally, however, it's clear that Zhang Li looks down on Kurapika and will only stay by their side as long as it benefits them. With the current situation, Kurapika has the option of keeping Prince Wobble in Zhang Li's room to protect him, though Kurapika isn't sure if that's a good thing since Zhang Li is a mafia benefactor – who he believes may be Benjamin. is coming after him. can use martial law. On the other hand, however, room 1014 is not the safest, especially with the silent majority.


It's also important to mention that Princess Camila, the second eldest Kakin princess, plans to send one of her bodyguards to Nen Kurapika's next workshop, which could cause a lot of trouble. Kurapika believes that she is trying to hide or cover up a dirty secret of hers that she thinks Kurapika has.

Prince Benjamin's death is on the cards

Hulkenburg's body is dead, but his consciousness lives on in Mayt

After a long time fans HxH They got to see a popular main character who hadn't been seen in a while – Leorio. Although only for one panel, she was seen taking Prince Hulkenburg to the emergency room due to his deteriorating condition.

In this season of HxH, Hulkenberg's ability is further explained, giving fans a better idea of ​​how The Boy Who Shoots The Arrow: Grimmel The Dissonance works.


In fact, Hulkenburg was able to get a better idea of ​​how this ability worked while experimenting with Sumidori and Shikaku. It is revealed that this Nen ability is essentially a forced mind switch, where only one mind can be awake at a time. Specifically, when Hulkenburg shoots a target with his ability, a random person from his group, including himself, is chosen to switch bodies. This is also completely coincidental, and the fact that Hulkenburg was able to switch with Might is pure luck.

Halkenburg shows that if the body with which the target is switched dies, then the consciousness returns to its original body and coexists with the other consciousness.
