Hunter x Hunter 404: Halkenburg's Death
Hulkenburg was a central character in this HxH arc. His master plan involves his own death.
Hunter x hunter The succession war between the Kakin will continue to heat up as all the storylines built so far start to line up and groups like the mob families and the Phantom Troupe start to get involved. Hisoka's return is definitely a possibility as well.
Hisoka And The Phantom Troupe is back in the spotlight
Hisoka will be staying with a troupe member
During Togashi's 10-chapter series 2 years ago, there was a lot of focus on the members of the Phantom Troupe, and the author even revealed their history in Meteor City. An interesting turn of events occurred when fans witnessed the return of Hisoka Morou, a character who has not yet appeared in Whale Black. Since then, however, Hisoka has been out of the story, but that could change Enter Chapter 405.
As fans know from Chapter 404, several members of the Phantom Troupe were seen back in the painting. Nobunaga, Finks, and Phaeton were on their way to the Heil-Lee hideout, but decided to talk to the other mob families first.
U Enter In Chapter 405, Nobunaga and his group can be seen interrogating two other mafia families, in other words, the Si-Yu and Cha-R families. Depending on what information he gets from them, he may have to call in other members of the troupe, making it an all-out attack on Heil-Li.
Thanks to Hinirg, who placed the transmitter where it can't be found, we have time. There is something I want to check with the other two families before we go to the Hale-Lee – Nobunaga Vault
It's also possible that now, after all this time, a member of the troupe will finally find Hisoka. The spider finding Hisoka could mean a final confrontation with him. It's possible that Nobunaga's group will be the ones to confront him when he is found, especially with Chroll's poor condition as a result of Shalnark and Potato's death. If a fight broke out between Hisoka and Nobunaga's group, it's hard to say who really won.
Hisoka is definitely stronger than ever and may be able to fight the three powerful Spiders on his own, possibly meaning more deaths among the ghost troupe, which will only make the other members angrier and more determined to destroy him. Chaos will erupt on Black Whale.
Morena and the Hail-Lee family
The Hail-Lee family will be planning something
Currently, Moreno is one of the most dangerous individuals on Black Whale, with the extremely problematic Nen ability. As fans know before, Morena's subordinates have to get promoted by killing people. When fans see Morena and her subordinates again, they are sure to increase their power even more, especially Dogman, her right-hand man. When Dogman gets to a higher level, he can start infecting people as well.
Besides, Morena and her mafia family are sure to be up to something on Black Whale. With the return of the Spiders in HxH 404, it's highly likely that she'll be seen soon, potentially in Enter 405. In particular, Heil-Ly can take advantage of Hulkenburg's death to create chaos. This chaos, if not stopped, may well lead Prince Benjamin to resort to martial law. If Benjamin turns to this, the results could be very dire for the other princes, as he would assume military power.
The Heil-Ly could also use Hulkenburg's death to try to kill someone, though who that might be is unclear. But it could be a member of other mafia families or a member of the Phantom troupe. The Heil-Ly are a very dangerous group that cannot be underestimated, and their presence will be a great catalyst in the War of Succession.
Assassination of Prince Luzur
Prince Luzurus may be the next victim
U Enter Chapter 403, Melody, along with Beast Cacho and Kaiser planned to kill the Seventh Prince Luzurus. All this was done in the hope of saving Fugetsu from a terrible fate. Fugetsu is under the influence of some kind of drug and her condition only worsens, requiring immediate action from her allies to ensure her survival.
U Enter section 404, it was decided that they would soon carry out this attempt. This means that Enter The year 405 may have been the beginning of Luzur's murder. To achieve this, they will have to transport him with Fugetsu's ability to where the lifeboat will be. Once there, they would put him in a lifeboat and make him float out. Leaving the legacy war zone is strictly forbidden and disobeying it will result in a person's death, something they discovered would happen as Kacho met the same fate.

Hunter x Hunter: The Next Prince to Die in the War of Succession Explained
With the succession war raging, the death of one of the Kakin princes is almost inevitable in HxH.
The success rate of this mission seems high as the group has prepared their plan of action well. However, the death of Luzurus could turn out to be a very bad move, as he is a benefactor of a mob family, specifically the Cha-R family. If a mob benefactor dies, it could be used as an excuse for Prince Benjamin to impose martial law. This would allow the military to take control, making Benjamin a powerful authority figure who could arrest and potentially execute his siblings. The plan to kill Luzurus could go awry very quickly.
Hulkenburg in action
Benjamin's downfall could be swift
The HxH highlight of Chapter 404 was undoubtedly Hulkenburg. After capturing Might's body, his original body died, leaving him with 10 hours to act. Hulkenburg will definitely play a big role in the next chapters of HxH. Hulkenburg's main target will be Benjamin, who will accompany his dead body to the 1st tier of the Black Whale.
The time I will have until Balsamilk's mind awakens may be limited only slightly, but I will be able to control this body for about ten hours after the death of my own body. I have to finish it in that time! – Halkenburg
Hulkenburg, if he can get to Benjamin, could potentially end the First Prince's life. As fans have seen, he cannot be underestimated. His Nen ability is very powerful, though the extent of what he can do with it is questionable. If his powers allow, he might be able to take possession of Benjamin's body. This would give Hulkenburg full military power and make him the most dangerous prince on the Black Whale. The only real threat to Hulkenburg right now is Nen Benjamin's beast, whose abilities are still unknown to fans, and certainly for good reason. This Nen beast may be the cause of Hulkenburg's failure and death.
