Hunter x Hunter Chapter 405 is highly anticipated by fans because of how Togashi has created so much hype about this current succession race.

Hunter x Hunter The succession war among the Kakin continues to heat up as all the storylines built so far begin to align and factions such as mafia families and the Phantom Gang begin to clash. Hisoka's return is also definitely a possibility.

Hisoka and the Phantoms are back in the main focus

Hisoka will be placed by a group member

2 years ago, during the 10-chapter Togashi published, a large part of the focus was on the members of the Phantom group, and the author even revealed their background in Meteor City. An interesting twist happened when fans saw the return of Hisuka Moro – a character not yet seen in Black Whale. However, since then, Hisoka has been out of the story, but that may change HxH Chapter 405.

As fans know from Chapter 404, several members of the Phantoms will be back in the picture. Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan were on their way to Heil-Ly's hideout, but decided to talk to the other mafia families first.

in HxH In chapter 405, Nobunaga and his group may be seen interrogating two more mafia families, namely the Shi-Yu and Cha-Ar families. Depending on the information he receives from them, he may have to contact other members of the group and this will be a full attack on Heil-Ly.

Thanks to Hinirgh who puts the sender where they can't find it, we have time. Before going to the hideout of Heil-Ly – Nobunaga – there is something I want to check with the other two families.

It's also possible that now, after so long, a member of the group will finally find Hisoka. The spider finding Hisoka could mean a final confrontation with him. It's not impossible that Nobunaga's group will be the ones to confront him if they find him, especially because of Chrollo's bad state from the deaths of Shalnark and Kortopi. If a fight breaks out between Hisoka and Nobunaga's group, there's no telling who will actually win.

Hisoka is definitely stronger than ever and could probably take on three powerful spiders by himself, which would probably mean new deaths among the Phantoms, which would only make the other members angrier and more determined to destroy him. Chaos will erupt in Black Whale.

Morena and Hill Lee family

The Heil-Ly family is planning something

Morena is currently one of the most dangerous people in the Black Whale, having a very problematic Nen ability. As fans already knew, Morena's underlings have to level up by killing people. Fans will definitely get more power when they see Morena and her minions again, especially Dogman, her right-hand man. If the Dogman has a higher level, it can also infect people.

Besides, Morena and her mafia family will definitely decide on the Black Whale. With the return of the spiders in HxH 404, it is likely that he will be seen soon. HxH 405. In particular, Heil-Ly may use Hulkenburg's physical death to create chaos. This chaos, if not stopped, could well lead Prince Benjamin to resort to martial law. If Benjamin were to resort to this, the results could be dire for the other princes, as he would seize power with military might.

Heil-Ly could also use Hulkenburg's death to assassinate someone, though it is unclear who that might be. But, it could be a member of other mafia families, or a member of the Phantom. The Heil-Ly are a very dangerous group not to be underestimated and their involvement will be a huge catalyst in the Succession War.

Assassination of Prince Luzurus

Prince Luzurus may be the next victim

in HxH Chapter 403, Melody, as well as the monster Kacho and Caesar were planning to assassinate the 7th Prince Luzurus. All this was in the hope of saving Fugetsu from a terrible fate. Fugetsu is under the influence of some kind of drug and his condition is only deteriorating and he needs urgent action from his allies to ensure his survival.

in HxH Chapter 404, it was decided to carry out the assassination soon. This means that HxH 405 could be the beginning of Luzurus' assassination. To achieve this, they must use Fugetsu's ability to transport him to an area where there is a lifeboat. As soon as they arrive, they put him in a lifeboat and try to get him out. Leaving the Succession War zone is strictly forbidden, and disobeying it will result in one's death, which they discover will be the same fate as Kacho.

Considering that the group has prepared its operational plan well, the success rate of this mission seems high. However, Luzurus' death could be a very bad move, as he is the benefactor of a mafia family, specifically the Cha-R family. If a mafia boss dies, this could be an excuse for Prince Benjamin to use martial law. This allows the military to seize power and make Benjamin a powerful official who can arrest and potentially execute his siblings. A Luzurus assassination plot can turn sour very quickly.

Hulkenburg in action

The fall of Benjamin may soon come

The highlight of the 404 HxH season was undoubtedly Hulkenburg. After taking over Mite's body, his original body died and he had 10 hours to act. Hulkenburg will definitely play a big role in the upcoming seasons of HxH. Hulkenburg's main target will be Benjamin, as he accompanies his dead body to Tier 1 Black Whale.

The time I have until Balzamilco's mind reawakens can only be loosely adjusted, but I can control this body for about ten hours after my body dies. I should finish this then! – Hulkenburg

Hulkenburg, if he can get to Benjamin, could potentially end the life of the First Prince. As fans have seen, he is not a character to be underestimated. His Nen ability is pretty weak, though how much he can do with it is still questionable. If his ability allows him, he might be able to possess Benjamin's body. This gave Hulkenburg full military power, making him the most dangerous prince on the Black Whale. The only real threat to Hulkenburg right now is Benjamin's Nen Beast, whose ability is still unknown to fans, and for good reason. This beast can be the reason for Hulkenburg's defeat and death.
