Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401: Manga is now back!
Hunter x Hunter has made a much-anticipated comeback with Chapter 401 after an incredibly long break of about 90 weeks! This is a huge moment for fans who have been eagerly waiting to see how the Succession Contest arc continues. Released on October 6, 2024, this new chapter dives deeper into the ongoing power struggles within the Kakin Empire. Here’s a summary of what’s happening in this latest installment of the manga.
In this chapter, we focus on Kurapika, one of the main characters, who is currently acting as the bodyguard for Prince Woble, the 14th prince of the Kakin Empire. The chapter kicks off with a conversation between Kurapika and Longhi, a character who was first introduced in Chapter 400. Longhi plays a crucial role in the upcoming conflicts, and she reveals some shocking news about her connection to Beyond Netero, the son of Isaac Netero, a very powerful figure in the Hunter x Hunter world.
In a surprising twist, Longhi reveals that she is one of Beyond Netero’s many biological children. These kids were born with a special ability known as Nen, which makes them extremely strong fighters. This revelation hints that Beyond Netero has a much bigger plan in the Succession Contest than anyone initially realized. Longhi has her own Nen ability called “Transparent World – Moonlight Act,” which lets her create contracts with others. Depending on whether the terms of the contract are followed, she can grant or revoke their powers.
The chapter also explores a potential alliance between Kurapika and Longhi. They work together to negotiate a peace treaty between Prince Woble and Prince Tubeppa. The treaty is serious business—breaking it could lead to severe consequences for those involved. This contract is part of Longhi’s strategy to bring some order to the chaotic Succession Contest. However, it seems that her ultimate goal might be tied to her own deeper motives, possibly related to what Beyond Netero wants to achieve.
As the plot thickens, fans are left with even more questions about what will happen to Kurapika, the future of the Succession Contest, and how Beyond Netero’s children will influence the outcome. With Hunter x Hunter back on a less frequent release schedule, readers will need to be patient as Yoshihiro Togashi continues to work on the story at his own pace.
Please note that the release dates and times mentioned are accurate as of now but may change at the creators’ discretion.
