Hunter x Hunter 404: Halkenburg's Death
Halkenburg was the central character of this HxH arc. His master plan involves his own death.
Hunter x Hunter's The Kakin succession war will continue to heat up as all the storylines built so far start to align and groups like mob families and the Phantom Troupe get involved. Hisoka's return is certainly possible as well.
Hisoka and the Phantom Troupe back in the main spotlight
Hisoka will be located by a party member
2 years ago, during the 10-chapter series released by Togashi, much of the focus was on the members of the Phantom Troupe, with the author even revealing their story in Meteor City. An interesting twist came when fans saw the return of Hisoka Morrow – a character who had not yet been seen on Black Whale. However, Hisoka has been out of the story since then, but that may change HxH chapter 405.
As fans know from chapter 404, several members of the Phantom Troupe were seen back in the picture. Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan were on their way to Heil-Ly's hideout, but decided to talk to the other mob families first.
IN HxH Chapter 405, Nobunaga and his group can be seen interrogating two more mafia families, in other words the Xi-Yu and Cha-R families. Depending on what information he gets from them, he may have to call in the other Troupe members, making it an all out attack on Heil-Ly.
Thanks to Hinirgh placing the transmitter where they can't find it, we have time. Before we head to Heil-Ly's hideout, I want to check with the other two families – the Nobunagas
It's also possible that now, after so long, a Troupe member will finally find Hisoka. A spider finding Hisoka could mean an eventual confrontation with him. It's not out of the question that Nobunaga's group will be the ones to confront him if he is found, especially with Chroll's poor condition resulting from the deaths of Shalnark and Kortopi. If a fight broke out between Hisoka and Nobunaga's group, it's hard to say who would actually win.
Hisoka is definitely stronger than ever and could possibly take on the three powerful spiders by himself, which could mean more deaths among the Phantom Troupe, which will only anger the other members and make them more determined to take him down. Chaos breaks out on the Black Whale.
Morena and the Heil-Ly family
The Heil-Ly family will be planning something
Morena is currently one of the most dangerous individuals on the Black Whale, having the extremely problematic Nen ability. As fans know from before, Morena's goons have to get by by killing people. When fans see Morena and her henchmen again, they are sure to grow even more powerful, especially Dogman, her right-hand man. If Dogman increases, he might start infecting humans as well.
Besides, Morena and her mafia family will definitely be up to something on the Black Whale. With the return of spiders in HxH 404, it's very likely we'll see her soon, potentially in HxH 405. Specifically, Heil-Ly could use Halkenburg's physical death to create chaos. If this chaos was not stopped, it could very well lead Prince Benjamin to use martial law. If Benjamin resorts to this, the results could be quite dire for the other princes as he assumes military power.
Heil-Ly could also use Halkenburg's death to try to assassinate someone, though it's unclear who that might be. But it could be a member of another mob family or a member of the Phantom Troupe. 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 Luzur
Prince Luzurus could be the next victim
IN HxH Chapter 403, Melody as well as Beast Kacho and Kaiser planned to assassinate Seventh Prince Luzur. All of this was in hopes of saving Fugetsu from a terrible fate. Fugetsu is under the influence of some drug and her condition is only declining, she needs immediate action from her allies to ensure her survival.
IN HxH chapter 404 it was decided that they would carry out this assassination attempt soon. That means that HxH 405 could be the beginning of the assassination of Luzur. To do this, they will have to use Fugetsu's ability to transport him to the area where the rescue boat will be. Once there, they put him in a lifeboat and let him float away. Leaving the Succession War area is strictly forbidden and disobeying it will result in the person's death, something they would find out as Kacho met the same fate.

Hunter x Hunter: Another Prince to Die in the Succession War Explained
With the succession war raging, the death of one of the Kakin princes in HxH is almost inevitable.
The success of this mission seems to be high, the group has its plan of action well prepared. However, the death of Luzurus could end up being a very bad move as he is the benefactor of a mafia family, specifically the Cha-R family. If the mafia patron dies, it could be used as an excuse for Prince Benjamin to use martial law. This allows the military to take over, making Benjamin a powerful authority that can arrest and eventually execute his siblings. The plan to assassinate Luzurus could go awry very quickly.
Halkenburg in action
Benjamin's downfall could be coming soon
The highlight of HxH Chapter 404 was undoubtedly Halkenburg. After taking over Might's body, his original body died, leaving him with 10 hours to deal with. Halkenburg will definitely play a huge role in the upcoming chapters of HxH. Halkenburg's main target will be Benjamin as he escorts his deceased body to the first level of the Black Whale.
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, if he can get to Benjamin, could potentially end the First Prince's life. As fans have seen, he is not a character to be underestimated. His Nen ability is greatly overpowered, though the extent of what he can do with it is still in question. If his abilities allow him, he could possibly take over Benjamin's body. This would give Halkenburg full military power and make him the most dangerous prince on the Black Whale. The only real threat to Halkenburg right now is Benjamin's Nen Beast, whose ability is still unknown to fans, and definitely for a reason. This Nene beast could be the reason Halkenburg fails and dies.
