Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401: Manga Returns After Months; All We Know So Far

As an ardent fan who’s been following Hunter x Hunter since its inception, I can confidently say that Chapter 401 has sent shivers down my spine! The wait for this chapter was worth every moment as it not only deepened the Succession Contest arc but also introduced a new layer of complexity with Longhi and Beyond Netero.


Hunter x Hunter resumed its story with Chapter 401 following an extended break of approximately 90 weeks, which has been a highly anticipated event for fans keen to see the progression of the Succession Contest arc. This new installment, published on October 6, 2024, offers further insights into the power struggle unfolding within the Kakin Empire. Below are some details about the latest chapter from the manga.

Chapter 401 focuses on Kurapika, one of the series’ main characters, who plays a significant role in the current arc. Kurapika is currently serving as the bodyguard of Prince Woble, the 14th prince of the Kakin Empire, and the chapter begins with his conversation with Longhi, a character first teased in Chapter 400. Longhi, a key figure in the upcoming conflict, has revealed her shocking connection to Beyond Netero, the son of Isaac Netero, a powerful figure in the Hunter x Hunter universe.

It turns out that Longhi is one of Beyond Netero’s numerous offspring who have the unique ability to utilize Nen from birth. These exceptional fighters, as you can imagine, possess immense power. This unexpected disclosure offers insight into Beyond Netero’s grand strategy, indicating that he might play a more complex role in the Succession Contest than previously assumed. Longhi specifically wields a Nen ability called “Transparent World – Moonlight Act,” which enables her to forge agreements with others. The powers granted or taken away under these contracts depend on whether the terms of the agreement are upheld.

The chapter delves into the possibility of an alliance forming between Kurapika and Longhi. They work towards a truce between Princes Woble and Tubeppa, with severe repercussions for those breaching the accord. This arrangement, aimed at minimizing conflict between the princes, is a step in Longhi’s plan to establish order amidst the tumultuous competition. However, it appears that her true objective might be linked to something more personal, potentially connected to Beyond Netero’s aspirations.

As the story progresses, it raises even more intriguing questions about Kurapika’s destiny, the future of the Succession Contest, and the role Beyond Netero’s offspring might play in the grand finale. Given that Hunter x Hunter is now being published less frequently, fans must exercise some patience to discover how these storylines unfold as Yoshihiro Togashi works diligently at his own pace.
