Hunter x Hunter Chapter 405: Two Hisokas

Togashi reveals the existence of two Hisokas in HxH 405. The war of succession takes a back seat as the mafia plot line thickens.

This arc of Hunter x Hunter could very well be the end of many beloved groups and characters in this series, which also includes the Phantom Squad.



Chrollo's Hunt for His Treasure can be highlighted in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 406

Chrollo intends to die

IN Hunter x Hunter 405, Chrollo was a passing character as it focused more on other characters, like Hisoka or Heil-Ly. In the few moments Chrollo had in that chapter, it was mentioned by Bonolenov that he was on the hunt for a special treasure. This treasure is located on the Black Whale, and at this time it is unknown exactly what this will be. This treasure will be used to kill Hisoka for good. For all this information, it's easy to conclude that this treasure Chrollo is after might be a Nen ability from someone on this ship. This Nen ability would be powerful enough to kill Hisoka and keep him dead. It's also possible that instead of it being a Nen ability, it could also be some artifact that has a certain power. Whatever it may be, this treasure will probably kill Hisoka, but also cause Chrollo's death.


Chrollo, based on what the other squad members seem to observe, is ready to die to take down Hisoka, which is why the other spiders themselves try to get to Hisoka to save Chrollo. However, Chrollo's determination will probably mark his end, and probably the end of the Phantom Squad this arc. The next chapter, ie Hunter X Hunter chapter 406, may show Chrollo getting closer to whatever treasure he's after. This treasure may be in the possession of some Kakin royalty, such as a prince, or perhaps even a queen.

Everyone knows that he wants to solve it once and for all by himself this time… and that the “treasure” he's looking for in this ship is an ability he'll need to kill Hisoka for good… that's why everyone wants to kill Hisoka first before Chrollo can get to him. — Bonolenov

The upcoming chapters are definitely going to be big for not only Chrollo, but the Phantom Troupe in general, as many of its members get the spotlight, such as Nobunaga and Bonolenov.


Xi-Yu wants revenge

LYNCH HUNTER X HUNTER

  • Bonolenov killed Lynch
  • Hinrigh and Zakura are on the hunt

IN HxH 405, Bonolenov was a rather large character who took over the majority of this chapter. In that chapter, he revealed that he was disguised as Hisoka when he met Xi-Yu, and during that meeting he was discovered by a member of Xi-Yu, Lynch Fullboko, as a fake Hisoka. Because of that, Bonolenov resorted to killing her. He tried to cover up her death to make himself out to be uncommitted, but Xi-Yu is surely smarter than that, especially Hinrigh, who is shown to be quite clever and calculating.

Members of Xi-Yu, which probably includes Hinrigh and Zakuro, may find her body HxH 406. Depending on how important Lynch was to them, this could mean they wanted revenge for her death. Killing a member of their mafia family can be a serious crime.

Hunter X Hunter: Togashi reveals why Hisoka wasn't in the Chimera Ant Arc

Hisoka missed out on fighting powerful Chimera Ants in HxH. Togashi reveals why.

Whatever happens after that definitely depends on who takes the blame for her death. Bonolenov was disguised as Hisoka when it all unfolded, so if they're going to blame someone for her death, it's very possible that it will be Hisoka. That means Xi-Yu will probably go hunting for Hisoka. Xi-Yu has no real means right now to link this back to the Phantom Squad, so for now they should be safe. However, this could change and have a bad effect on the relationship between Nobunaga and Hinrigh, which could affect the entire operation of Heil-Ly.

HxH Chapter 406 could definitely start with Hinrigh and Zakura finding Lynch's body somewhere, and from there fans will have to see how events unfold.

Hisoka and Bonolenov are very important to Hunter X Hunter Chapter 406


  • Bonolenov follows Hisoka
  • Bonolenov may be in danger

A big focus on HxH 405 revealed Hisoka's whereabouts. In fact, the Hisoka that fans had previously seen in other chapters was actually not the real Hisoka, but a fake. This fake was achieved with Bonolenov's Nen ability, the Metamorphosis. Bonolenov, who was impersonating Hisoka, has now changed into another form. As of now, it is unclear if Hisoka is aware that he is being followed, but knowing Hisoka's skill level and power, it is not unlikely that he is.

If Hisoka knows about Bonolenov, he might lure him to another place on this level of the Black Whale to take him out. As fans know, Hisoka has made it his goal to eliminate, one by one, every single member of the Phantom Squad, which would include Bonolenov. With all of this in mind, the next death among the Phantom Squad may well be Bonolenov, as he seems to be in the most compromising position at the moment. Hisoka is extremely powerful, and to make matters worse for Bonolenov, Hisoka's Nen ability, Bungee Gum, is a perfect counter to Bonolenov's powers.


Look, I'm normal. I'm not interested in bestiality or an orgy – I can't get excited. I'm just a guy who wants to be with someone one on one… so we can love each other to death. — Hisoka

Hisoka can easily immobilize him by immobilizing him or even plugging his hole with Bungee Gum, making it impossible for him to play music and activate his powers. This matchup is very bad for Bonolenov, and unless he finds a way to escape and get the information he's gathered back to Chrollo and the others, he may very well die. This would send Chrollo into an even worse mental state, with each spider dying hardening his resolve even more to kill Hisoka, even if it means going down with him.
