What happened in Hunter x Hunter Chapter #405?
Chrollo’s true plans are finally revealed
The chapter begins with Tajao leading Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan through a secret door that will take them to Level 2. He explains the sewage treatment facilities and how the Xi-yu and Cha-r families manage the ship’s waste. After confirming that the work itself is outsourced, Nobunaga realizes that this is how the Hei-ly family has been committing a series of murders. By posing as workers and luring victims under the pretext of job interviews, they could discreetly carry out their murders. Nobunaga decides to return and inform the other two about the abilities of the Hei-ly members he encountered.
Elsewhere, Zakuro meets with Hinrigh to talk about his confrontation with Hisoka, and as they talk, they are informed that Lynch’s corpse has been found. Shocked from having seen her just now, Zakuro remembers everything she said before they separated, and with this knowledge, Hinrigh is shocked to realize that someone was pretending to be Lynch after having already killed the real one. Once they discover that there is something bigger at play here, Hinrigh and Zakuro vow to avenge Lynch, even if the Phantom Troupe is to blame.
The scene changes to Chrollo. He has his Skill Hunter book activated and calls someone using a new Nen skill he stole, Koi no Dial 6700, which allows him to track a specific person, but the phone says the person is out of reach. He wonders if he should level up to level 1 to continue his search, and after revealing that the treasures he seeks are those needed not only for the War of Succession, but also for the Kakin Empire itself, as well as deducing that they could be at level 1, it goes up. He heads to Halkenburg’s funeral procession, and the phone confirms that the person he’s looking for is indeed on level 1.
Chrollo can destroy the succession war
Stealing Kakin treasures will have a huge impact
Although it was known that the Phantom Troupe would steal something valuable from Black Whalte, no one could have imagined that it was something vital to the survival of one of the greatest empires. Furthermore, Chrollo’s theft of Kakin’s three national treasures will undoubtedly end the War of Succession, which could be good for Kurapika and some of the non-violent princes like Tyson, Tubeppa, and Kacho. However, this will harm the plans of Beyond Netero, Zhang-Lei, Benjamin, Tsseriednich and Nasubi, so the implications will be enormous.
Furthermore, the ability that Chrollo seeks to acquire and the individual he seeks out is something that leaves fans intrigued, as discovering it will finally start the long-awaited rematch between Chrollo and Hisoka. Hunter x Hunter finally connected the Succession War storyline to the Phantom Troupe storyline effortlessly and made it extremely interesting.
