The Phantom Troupe Trio Prepares to Go Into Action

Nobunaga goes his own way
Phinks and Feitan head to the Heil-Ly Hideout

Chapter 406 of Hunter x Hunter picks up right where the previous one left off, with Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan from the Phantom Troupe proceeding through a door that the Cha-R family had just managed to open for them. In this chapter, they’re being guided up some stairs by Tajao, who serves as the Vice Boss of Cha-R.

As they climb the stairs, they’ll eventually reach Tier 2’s summit. The region they’re traversing serves as the disposal site for waste generated by the 200,000 inhabitants of the Black Whale. This area is controlled by Mafia families, but it’s the subcontractors who handle the dirty work. Nobunaga hypothesized that the Heil-Ly assumed the roles of waste disposal contractors as a cover to eliminate more people and advance in power.

In that location, Nobunaga chose to separate from the team and return their way. Consequently, Phinks, Feitan, and Nobunaga are bound for the Heil-Ly hideout, a place where only Nobunaga and Hinrigh had been seen a few chapters back. Nobunaga shares some of the abilities they’ll face there and warns that attacking without self-defense could lead to their expulsion.

If that “someone” is in the Phantom Troupe… then we’ll have to fight the Cha-R. It’s definitely not a fight that should happen based on pure guesswork, though… — Zakuro

Currently, it’s not clear what Nobunaga’s immediate objective is, so fans must remain patient and find out what author Togashi has been devising for him, since Nobunaga is among the Spiders who have received significant attention in this particular storyline.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that Hinrigh’s oyster transmitter reverted to its initial shape once it ran out of Nen energy. This implies that it won’t be long before it’s discovered by Heil-Ly members, which means Phinks and Feitan need to move quickly if they want to reach the hideout before that happens.

Lynch’s Body Is Discovered in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 406

The Xi-Yu Will Hunt Down Her Killer

As a dedicated Hunter x Hunter fan, I recently stumbled upon an intriguing revelation in our last adventure. The Hisoka we initially encountered in Xi-Yu wasn’t the real deal; it was Bonolenov, using his Nen ability to deceive us all. Some hidden events during that encounter came to light, revealing that Bonolenov had coldly taken the life of Lynch, a fellow Xi-Yu member, when she uncovered his disguise as the fake Hisoka. Despite his attempts to hide his tracks, chapter 406 makes it clear that Hinrigh is no ordinary character, and outsmarting him requires more than just a simple cover-up.

In episode 406 of “HxH,” Hinrigh learns that Lynch’s body has been discovered. The expert precision with which her neck was twisted suggests a highly skilled killer. At first, they speculate it could be an assassin from the Heil-Ly, but this theory is soon called into question as Zakuro discloses additional details. Zakuro expresses doubts about “Hisoka” being responsible, given that he would have targeted Lynch if it were him. However, Zakuro does note that the Lynch he conversed with following her awakening displayed strange behavior. As portrayed in the chapter, Hinrigh initially proposes that the Lynch they encountered might not be the genuine one. Instead, Zakuro favors the idea that someone is controlling her actions.

In a short span of time, they deduce that it’s plausible the offender belongs to the Phantom Troupe and they intend to retaliate for Lynch. This could signal the dissolution of ties between the Phantom Troupe and Xi-Yu, as they might target one of their members, either Nobunaga or Bonolenov.

Chrollo and the Three Treasures of Kakin

Chrollo Aims To Steal a National Treasure

Without a doubt, Chrollo was the standout character in HxH episode 406. This intriguing figure has captivated viewers even more in this arc and will undoubtedly have further opportunities to shine as the story progresses. In HxH episode 405, fans were given a sneak peek into his activities, but now they can witness firsthand what he’s been up to.

In the course of Prince Halkenburg’s funeral, Chrollo was spotted amidst the throng of people. Being the most densely populated spot on the Black Whale, this provided an opportune moment for Chrollo to employ a previously unseen Nen ability – Love Dial 6700. This unique ability enables him to create a cellular device that allows him to locate someone specific. If the person is discovered, directions will be provided. However, during the crowd’s chaos, Chrollo couldn’t find the person he sought as they were too far away. The number of uses for Love Dial 6700 is limited, and it remains unclear just how many attempts Chrollo has left.

For the first time, fans got a proper look at the 3 treasures of the Kakin Empire, which Chrollo is planning to steal. If Chrollo manages to steal these, he will be able to utilize Skill Hunter to gain a powerful and rare Nen ability. These 3 treasures are the Seed Urn, the Lotus Anchorite, and the Sword of Good Omens.

Chrollo doesn’t exactly know where to find these artifacts yet, but he believes they have to be on the first tier of the Black Whale. These treasures could all be hidden together, or each in a separate location for extra security. That said, stealing them will not be an easy task, even for Chrollo.

Regardless of what happens to me, the concept itself—the spider I engineered—will induce a chill of dread in others. (Chrollo Lucilfer)

Currently, Chrollo aims to acquire a unique Nen ability with which to defeat Hisoka. Yet, it’s possible they may cross paths before Chrollo can obtain this ability. Regardless, Chrollo has prepared himself to meet his end should such an encounter lead to that outcome.

In the course of the story later on, Chrollo made another attempt with his Love Dial 6700, and this time, he achieved a more favorable outcome as he identified the person being above him. The identity of this individual remains unclear, leaving fans eager to discover who Chrollo is pursuing. It appears that the number of uses left for Love Dial 6700 could be significant, as Togashi is holding back this information at present. As far as readers know, he has utilized it on two occasions so far. The upcoming events promise to heighten anticipation even further.
