What to expect from the chapter

This article contains spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter manga.

Key things

• Halkenburg's Nen ability gives him an advantage in the Inheritance War.
• Luzuro's possible impending death could lead to martial law.
• The Phantom Troupe re-enters the story and adds chaos to the mafia war.

Hunter x Hunter 405 is going to be an exciting chapter, just like the last few chapters have shown. The succession war escalates with Halkenburg's insane plan of action against Benjamin and Luzur's possible impending death.

Fans can also expect the Phantom Troupe to come back into the picture as the story goes back to the mafia war that was taking place. Taking all this into account, HxH Chapter 405 is going to be an intense affair.

Halkenburg's plan is finally put into practice

The fall of Prince Benjamin is coming

Halkenburg is a character that has so far exceeded all fan expectations. He turns out to be incredibly calculating and ready to give anything to achieve his ultimate goal.

IN HxH 404, his ability Nen, The Boy Who Shoots an Arrow : Grimmel The Dissonancewas explained much further. It was revealed that when Halkenburg fires an arrow and it hits his target, one person in his party switches consciousness with the target. This makes Halkenburg's ability much more limited than previously thought, as the target's consciousness can be awakened if the person they swapped with falls asleep.

Despite the restrictions, Halkenburg still has a crazy plan to enact soon. He plans to finish the succession battle after his body dies inside Might. This means that physically Halkenburg will die, but he will still be in this war of succession because his mind is still there.

The time I will have before Balsamilc's mind reawakens can only be softened loosely, but after the death of my own body I will be able to control this body for about ten more hours. I have to finish it in that time! — Halkenburg

Halkenburg's main target may very well be First Prince Benjamin, just to get it back. With Benjamin believing Halkenburg to be completely dead, he would drop his guard, costing him dearly. When Benjamin acquits and drops the charges against Halkenburg's bodyguards, he does something pretty stupid. Finally, when they face off, Halkenburg shows his true strength.

Halkenburg's body will be transported from level 3 all the way to level 1. His mind is in Might and he will have 10 hours to complete it. They could definitely run into some trouble along the way, which could include mob families or the Phantom Troupe. Either way, Halkenburg will change the succession war, whether he manages to end it or not. The next 10 hours in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 405 are definitely going to be intense and Halkenburg will not be all about Benjamin as it looks like chaos is about to break out between the princes.

IN HxH Chapter 405, it's definitely a possibility that Halkenburg will try to take over Benjamin's body, but it's unknown how exactly that would work given his current situation. It is also important to note that Benjamin's nen beast spirit has yet to demonstrate its abilities. This could potentially save Benjamin and spell the end of Halkenburg.

The story returns to the Phantom Troupe

The mafia war continues

In the last panel HxH 404, the story is brought back to the Phantom Troupe, which is what was focused on at the end of the last batch of chapters 2 years ago. Nobunaga, Feitan and Phinks will be the main players in the upcoming chapters. When they were last seen, they were heading to Heil-Ly's hideout after Hinrigh managed to hide the transmitter there.

HxH 404 showed that Nobunaga doesn't want to head there yet because he wants to check something else first. IN Hunter X Hunter Chapter 405, it is likely that these 3 members of the Phantom Troupe will check some things with the other mafia family members first.

Depending on how things go with Nobunaga, Feitan and Phinks and the other 2 mob families, Nobunaga may call in the rest of the Phantom Troupe, which could cause a lot of chaos. Morena is definitely not to be underestimated and Troupe could go all out.

Hisoka might move in too HxH chapter 405, which would only intensify the mob conspiracy.

Luzuro's death causes martial law

• Melody and her group plan to kill Luzurus
• The death of a mob benefactor could result in martial law

IN HxH 404, Kurapika interacted with the Third Prince, Zhang Lei, extensively about his Nen ability and the potential safety of Prince Woble. Kurapika considered placing Prince Woble in Prince Zhang Lei's room for protection, but thought that it could go very badly since Zhang Lei was a benefactor of a mafia family. Kurapika believes that Benjamin could go after one of the three benefactor princes to have an excuse to impose martial law – something that would give him full power.

Unbeknownst to Prince Benjamin, someone else is already planning to assassinate one of the three benefactors. Indeed, Melody, as well as Kaiser and Beast Kacho, plan to assassinate 7th Prince Luzurus as they suspect him of being behind Fugetsu's downfall. Luzurus has ties to the Cha-R family and is their benefactor.

If Luzurus dies, Benjamin blames a mob hit, instead of blaming it on a drug overdose as Kaiser had planned. Benjamin could use this as an excuse to enact martial law and throw everything into chaos.

IN Hunter X Hunter In Chapter 405, the assassination attempt will likely come closer and fans will see Melody and her group somehow transport Luzurus from his room to the lifeboat area. The goal is for him to die leaving the permitted area of ​​the Succession War. This will have massive ramifications if successful, and the worst part is that it may not even stop Fugetsu's declining state since Luzurus doesn't actually need to participate at all.

Prince Camilla is causing trouble for Kurapiko

Prince Woble may be in danger

For the first time, Prince Camilla decided to send one of his bodyguards to the nen workshop. Camilla certainly does not have good intentions. Kurapika is already dealing with a lot, so Camilla, who was giving him even more trouble, could make things even more complicated. As things stand, Kurapika is already dealing with the Silent Majority, and because of that, he might decide to send Prince Woble to Zhang Lei, which sounds like the only viable option right now.

The problem is how to cut the role! The role has held this balance for so long she may seem fragile, but she is actually strong… — Kurapika

Meanwhile, Camilla has sent her bodyguard to protect some secrets. This means that Prince Camilla has something hidden that he does not want to reveal. You could focus on that Hunter x Hunter chapter 405 and Camilla could be a central character in the upcoming chapters.
