Hunter X Hunter experiences a wonderful revival when it dives even deeper into the most complicated arch yet, the one in the succession competition. This war between royal children has more characters than ever, a deeply complex story, and some of the most exciting Nen powers that the series has ever seen.

Since Mangan first entered the succession war in 2012, seventy chapters have been released. There is a lot of content stretched over more than a decade, and it can be easy to get a little lost with all the characters and schedules in progress. We looked back at everything that went on in the bow and gathered it all in a digestible summary for anyone who wants to get stuck.

Anything that leads up to the succession war

Hot off the Heels of the 13th Hunter chairman Valbågen, deviates the after -competition arc from the latest arches and focuses on lots of new characters and a return that was absent for a good while, course. He is not the only character that is back, as Melody, Leorio, Hisoka, Chrollo and several other Phantom Troupe members Also make performances.

Before the bow takes off, we see the aftermath of Chimera Ant Arc, one of the longest and deadliest stories that Series Creator Yoshihiro Togashi Has told in Hunter X Hunter so far. Gon had called the whole of Nen he will ever have in life to the present, prematurely aged him an adult while making him incredibly powerful.

The side effects, however, were Kataklysmic for Gon's body, and after the war against the Chimera ants, his body was horrible to see. He needed to be kept permanently soothing and on life support. The only real look we get from Gon right now is when Killua keeps her shrunk arm, which leads Killua to Seek help from his younger sister Alluka (and Nanika, the mysterious alternative personality that exists within her) to heal Gon.

After some complicated family conflicts, Killua and Alluka/Nanika Gon get back in top form. But he has lost his ability to use Nen. Gon finally reunited with his father after years of being apart. A new chairman was elected in Zodiac Hunter Cheadle Yorkshire, which led to a new era for hunters.

How does the succession war begin?

Immediately after these events, the zodiacs of Cheadle are gathered for a meeting when it is interrupted by Beans, the Hunter Association President of Personal Secretary. They continue to show the group A video of King Nasubi from Kakin Empire To make a public explanation for traveling and investing in a demand for the dangerous dark continent.

This country is beyond the massive lake Mobius, which contains all known countries and countries seen in manganese. Lake Mobius works rest in the middle of the dark continent and is protected by the volatile water between them.

King Nasubi has another surprise to throw in the mixture and take out beyond Netero, Son of the late Isaac NeteroThe former chairman of the Hunting Association. Eventually, the couple shows the ship that takes them over the dangerous countries, the black elections, a ship that can hold 200,000 passengers and where the succession war begins.

What is the succession war?

As a secondary goal, King Nasubi uses the two -month journey as a coverage for his death match to determine the next ruler in Kakin. The king pits everything fourteen of their legitimate children against every otheR, including the infant Woble, in a battle to death by secretly giving them abilities thanks to a relic called seed urn. This ritual gives each child a safety animal based on that person's personality and nature. The children are called all princes, regardless of gender, and their numeric ranking is based only on birth order, although some of the older children have clear benefits compared to the younger ones.

During this time both Kurapika and Leorio join Zodiac Hunters After giving and pariston, their roles lead and gave them a place on the black elections. All princes work to gather personal bodyguards for the trip, use spies and other underhand tactics to plant agents in other prince's parties.

Kuppika becomes a bodyguard for Prince Woble, and while he is originally disappointed with the assignment, he hopes to be able to use Drottningmor's influence to get close to Tserriednich, who has a collection of Scarlet Eyes. So far, The black elections are just about two weeks into their trip, And three princes have already been killed, along with dozens of guards and other passengers on the boat. There seems to be some kind of alternative motifs behind the king's actions, since a short scene shows the king in the middle of a circle of chests, with Prince Marayam united in one of the coffins with what seems to be a ritualist pattern on the floor.

One of the most important plot points in the arc revolves around the course that reveals to the princes and their employees that Nen -powers exist. Previous, Nen was a closely guarded secretOne who is known by hunters and other powerful individuals but almost completely unknown to the public. Course does this to help balance the playing field a little and secure both his and Prince Woble's security by acting as a teacher for those who have just learned about the ability. So far, it has worked in the advantage of Kurapika since the process of learning even the most basic nenstands takes ages to learn even the fastest student, anything but guarantee their safety for the foreseeable future.

What else happens behind the scenes?

Do you remember how Phantom Troupe carved on board? Well, initially they sought their fortunes by relieving some of the blue -blooded passengers in their valuables, but as they learned The constant villain Hisoka was also on the black electionsThey shifted their goal to dispose of Trickster once and for all. There is a lot of potential for a possible confrontation with course, as he killed two Phantom Troupe members in the Yorknew Bågen and the squad probably still has an announcement for Kurapika for it. Not to mention, the last course saw Chrollo, he had completely lost access to his Nen, and since he restored it and became even stronger, there is nothing to tell how the young hunter would react.

While much of the arch has been on the course and the princes, there is another fraction that works behind the scenes, sometimes very literally. Three large Kakin Mafia families are aboard the black elections, everyone hopes to cut out some of the dark continent for themselves. You understand, Kakin Mafia consists of illegal children to King Nasubiwhich are dissatisfied with facial scars at birth to forever notice those who unable to rise the throne. The three Kakin Mafia families are:

Each of the Mafia families has support from another prince, although it seems to have become crooked and started killing civilians and other mafiam members In an attempt to increase their own Nen-based abilities, which grow with the more people they kill. The other two Mafia families have collaborated with the Phantom Troupe members to chase Rogue Mafia in exchange for their help in tracking Hisoka.

The succession war is 70 chapters deep so far and is nowhere close to unpacking, given the number of plots floating around and the princes are still alive. With Togashi who connects Exit 50 chapters 2025It will set the succession war on 120 chapters, near the longest arch in the series so far, with Chimera Ant Arc, which is a total of 132 chapters. There are plenty of political intrigues, new Nen techniques and fighting to look forward to when the succession war ramps up.
