Hunter x Hunter 403: What To Expect From The Chapter

As a long-time fan of Hunter x Hunter, I must say that the latest plot developments have me on the edge of my seat! The mystery surrounding Prince Luzurus and his connection to Fugetsu’s declining health has added a layer of intrigue that I haven’t felt in a while.


This article contains spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter manga.

Key Takeaways

  • Halkenburg could be targeted for assassination using a deadly silent killer in HxH 403.
  • Fugetsu expands her ability by visiting her siblings, setting the stage for more possibilities.
  • Kurapika aims to limit bloodshed in the Succession War, but the outcome remains uncertain.

Since resuming after a two-year break, Hunter x Hunter has been consistently delivering outstanding chapters. The Succession War is intensifying with each passing event, intertwining numerous subplots that will ultimately converge.

In chapter 403 of Hunter x Hunter, it seems we’re in for a thrilling ride as two Kakin princes find themselves pursued by their adversaries. Readers are left on tenterhooks, eagerly anticipating how the storyline develops and who might fall prey to this ongoing Succession War.

The 9th Prince Halkenburg Could Be In Trouble In HxH Chapter 403

Halkenburg Might Be Revealed as the Son Of Beyond Netero

During the Succession War, Prince Halkenburg stood out as particularly intriguing, not least because of his exceptionally potent Nen ability, known as Possession Arrow. This unique power enables him to bypass any defensive barrier with a single arrow.

In chapter 402 of Hunter x Hunter, it’s evident that Halkenburg is headed for trouble and there could be a major revelation about him in chapter 403. Captain Balsamilco Might, one of Prince Benjamin’s employees, appears to be up to no good and has Halkenburg as his next target. It seems that Balsamilco intends to kill Halkenburg, which might be unveiled in Hunter x Hunter chapter 403. Balsamilco possesses a supposedly undetectable weapon, referred to as a silent killer, meant for Halkenburg’s demise. This tool is made up of viral particles that can spread through the air. They survive for only 30 seconds in the atmosphere but if inhaled by Halkenburg, he will die within approximately half a day. Once infected, the body decomposes at an accelerated rate, making it difficult to pinpoint the cause of death during an autopsy.

In the manga “HxH,” Prince Halkenburg was actually apprehended by Balsamilco in chapter 389. This means he can no longer communicate with his troops, and his vulnerable position allows Balsamilco to potentially execute him during the trial. It’s possible that chapter 403 of “HxH” may focus on Halkenburg’s trial and attempted assassination, although it seems doubtful that he will meet his end in such a manner.

With this… I’ll erase Halkenburg! — Balsamilco Might

In the next chapter 403, there’s a possibility that Halkenburg may uncover a secret – he might be discovered as the hidden son of Beyond Netero among the 14 Princes. The final panel of HxH 402 hinted at Halkenburg learning surprising details about his own origin, which could be a significant foreshadowing regarding his father. However, it’s also possible that Togashi is laying the groundwork for something else concerning the 9th Prince in the upcoming chapters.

Fugetsu Visits the Rest of The Princes in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 403

Fugetsu Expands the Range of Her Ability

In episode 402 of HxH, Fugetsu, the 11th Prince of the Kakin Empire, was making rounds to each of his siblings’ rooms, delivering a letter they believed to be their late sister’s final message. This strategy expanded her influence, as she could only travel to places she had previously visited once. However, it turned out that Luzurus, the 7th Prince, was the primary target. Yet, having access to more areas could prove useful in future plot developments.

To this point, the latest known Prince that she interacted with is Luzurus the Seventh. This means there are several other Princes yet to visit. The only Princes who have been confirmed to meet her so far are Benjamin, Luzurus, Tubeppa, and Tyson. It’s possible that some Princes might refuse to meet her, such as Prince Camilla the Second, but we’ll find out more in the next chapter as the group stirs up trouble by spreading rumors about the Princes.

The Plan Against 7th Prince Luzurus Could Be Forced Into Action In Hunter X Hunter Chapter 403

  • Luzurus’s Assassination Plan Is In Action
  • Fugetsu Could be Saved From Her Incoming Death

In the 402nd episode of HxH, an intriguing subplot unfolds around Prince Luzurus who, until now, hasn’t been a major character. The situation in Fugetsu is worsening, and it’s discovered that there’s a strange injection mark on the princess. As per Melody and Kacho’s explanation, this is due to a drug administered to her, causing her to think she can use her powers as much as she desires. However, this leads to her depleting her abilities over time.

They suspect Prince Luzurus, who is connected to the mafia and may have a role in his nen beast, could be responsible for it, whether he’s aware or not. To save Fugetsu, they resolve to eliminate Luzurus since her life is on the brink of collapse.

In the 403rd episode of “Hunter x Hunter,” the group actively works to transport Luzurus towards the designated area using the lifeboats. This action is crucial because if they succeed, Luzurus will die as leaving the prescribed boundaries during the Succession War is forbidden. Given that Fugetsu and the others have strong alibis, and considering Luzurus’ history of drug use, making his death appear as a failed escape attempt due to an overdose could be feasible. However, moving him there won’t be simple and there’s a good chance something will malfunction along the way.

The condition is: the outgoing door shuts if Fuu-Chan enters it, and the return door shuts if I enter it. — Kacho (guardian spirit beast)

They might have managed to eliminate Luzurus, but it turns out that he isn’t responsible for Fugetsu’s deteriorating health. In such a case, all their efforts would be in vain. Nevertheless, given the nature of his Nen Beast, it’s plausible that it played a role since it’s known to lay traps. This suggests that it’s likely Luzurus who will meet his demise next among the princes.

Kurapika Prepares a Plan To Limit Bloodshed

Bloodshed Seems Inevitable In Hunter X Hunter Chapter 403

In the final scene of chapter 402 of HxH, Melody poses a question to Kurapika: Can he devise a strategy to minimize the violence? This task might prove more challenging than it sounds, given that the Succession War is said to end only when there’s just one prince remaining alive.

King Nasubi has been deliberately cryptic about the conclusion of the war, stating that whoever survives will become the new ruler of Kakin when questioned. It’s uncertain if this implies a method for withdrawal from the conflict or if all other heirs must perish to fortify the surviving one. Given Kurapika’s actions, it appears that the Succession War could be brutal, and readers may witness its start in chapter 403 of Hunter X Hunter.
