A few of the Kakin prines are in a tough spot in HxH 402. Some information that will shake the succession war will be revealed.
Hunter x Hunter has now released its second chapter since its return from the hiatus, HxH 402, titled “Letter.” This chapter is currently the most wordy chapter in the history of HxH, making it quite a read, but it is filled to the brim with information.
The Succession War is getting more intense, with more princes of the Kakin empire facing death as they are being targeted by others. Here’s everything that transpired in HxH 402, broken down. Prince Benjamin’s Men In Action in HxH chapter 402
Rihan Figures Out More About Tubeppa’s Nen Beast
Balsamilco Plans to Kill Prince Halkenburg
HxH 402 started off with 3rd Prince Zhang. He was told that if it’s just him, as well as Woble and Tubeppa, who remain in the Succession War, then the latter two will withdraw. In return, it would be asked of him that Sakata and Hashito keep extending their support. Prince Zhang also gave that same man another one of his coins, with his Nen beast’s ability still being unknown. So far, it hasn’t had any effect.
More interestingly, the chapter moved on to the 5th Prince Tubeppa, where she was signing the peace treaty. When she signed it, Rihan noticed that her Nen beast suddenly showed itself. He concluded that her Nen beast must work with some conditions. Rihan is one of first Prince Benjamin’s men, and the more Rihan knows about someone, the more dangerous he becomes with his Nen ability, Predator. His ability was showcased before against Prince Salé-Salé, and it led to the demise of the latter.
HxH chapter 402 also showcased another one of Prince Benjamin’s men, specifically the captain of Benjamin’s employees, Balsamilco Might. Balsamilco showcased some weird mechanic in his shoes that allows him to hide a very dangerous tool that he has in his possession, the Silent Killer. This tool allows him to kill via the spread of pathogens that proliferate inside the human body and even hasten decomposition, making determining the cause of death impossible in an autopsy. However, in the air, these pathogens can’t survive for more than 30 seconds.
Balsamilco plans to use this against 9th Prince Halkenburg.
