Hunter x Hunter: Togashi Reveals Netero's Secret Prince Grandchild

As someone who has followed Hunter x Hunter since its inception, I must say that the enigma surrounding Beyond Netero’s offspring is as captivating as the story itself. With Camilla and Form being the only confirmed princes who could already use nen before the Succession War, it’s intriguing to ponder about their origins.


This article contains spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter manga.

Key Takeaways

  • Beyond Netero has fathered many children, including one among the Kakin princes.
  • The child of Beyond Netero is likely one of the princes in the Succession War.
  • Princes Tserriednich, Camilla, and Woble are potential contenders to be Beyond’s child.

In a thrilling comeback, the manga “Hunter x Hunter” unveiled chapter 401, disclosing a significant revelation that leaves fans in awe. It turns out that the offspring of Isaac Netero, who goes beyond Netero, is connected to one of the Kakin royal family members as his child.

Currently, there’s no definitive answer regarding his identity. Yet, we can speculate on the potential candidates who could be his offspring, with some being more likely than others. We eagerly anticipate further hints and revelations from Togashi to confirm our suspicions.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 Reveals Beyond Netero’s Secret

  • Beyond Netero Has Fathered Many Children
  • One of the Princes Is Very Likely to Be Beyond’s Child

In the continuation of the “Hunter x Hunter” manga, a significant revelation unfolded to the audience. Specifically, in chapter 401, Kurapika encounters Longhi, the personal guard of the Fifth Prince of the Kakin Empire. Until this chapter, Longhi had been a minor character, but she became crucial from this point onwards. The details she disclosed drastically altered the anticipation surrounding the ongoing Succession War aboard the Black Whale.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share an intriguing piece of news: I’ve come across information that reveals a fascinating connection. It turns out that I am the daughter of the formidable Beyond Netero, conceived with Kakin officers, as he has fathered several children. What’s more, I’m not alone in this family tree; it seems Beyond has had numerous offspring with the intention of using them as human sacrifices to advance his own objectives. So far, Makaha is the only other known child of Beyond, making her my half-sister. This revelation adds a new layer of complexity to the story we’ve been following.

It’s even more intriguing that Longhi suggests one of the princes vying for the Kakin Throne could secretly be the offspring of Beyond Netero. Queen Oito’s statements indicate that there’s no requirement to trace paternal lineage during the Succession War, only being born to one of Nasubi’s legal wives is necessary.

It’s still unknown who the child from Beyond actually is. Yet, certain princes seem more plausible than others as potential relatives due to events depicted in the manga thus far.

The Princes Most Likely To Be Beyond’s Child

So far, speculation among fans revolves around who the offspring of Beyond Netero might be. The only information they have to base their theories on is Longhi’s opinion that she believes one of the princes could be Beyond’s child. Given the intricate nature of the Succession War, it seems unlikely that Beyond would have more than one prince child, as this would make the conflict even more complex.

One of the princes is Beyond’s Child! That’s what I think. — Longhi

Longhi and her sister were born with a condition known as Nen, which some believe was due to a curse placed upon them. However, it’s also possible that the curse wasn’t placed on the prince, so they were simply born with this condition. These are strong candidates for being his son, but it could potentially be anyone.

Tserriednich

  • 4th Prince
  • Nen Ability: Parallel Future

Among the Kakin princes, many fans instantly suspected Tserriednich, the fourth prince of the Kakin empire, to be Beyond’s child. His exceptional ability with nen, mastering it swiftly in a short span, could easily be explained if it turned out that his father was Beyond Netero and his grandfather was the legendary Isaac Netero.

It’s worth mentioning that Tserriednich bears a strong physical resemblance to Isaac Netero during his youthful years. While Tserriednich is among the top three candidates for being the son of Beyond, it’s possible that him being the offspring might seem too predictable, and Togashi may have other creative intentions in mind.

Camilla

  • 2nd Prince
  • Nen Ability: Cat’s Name

In the Kakin empire, Camilla stands out as the second-oldest prince and the eldest female among them. Her uniqueness among the princes is particularly noticeable given that she, along with Prince Benjamin, are the only confirmed princes who were able to utilize Nen abilities prior to the onset of the Succession War.

It’s logical that Benjamin, being the first prince and a military man, should be familiar with ‘nen’. However, it remains ambiguous how or why Camilla, in her current context, has the ability to utilize ‘nen’ already.

As a gamer, I might say: Just like other kids in Beyond, she may have awakened her Nen at a young age. Her unique Nen power is fascinating – it’s a postmortem Nen that triggers after her death, bringing her back to life by taking the life of her killer and resurrecting her instead.

Woble

  • 14th Prince
  • Nen Ability: N/A

Among all 14 princes, Woble stands as the youngest, presently guarded by Kurapika. At this stage, Woble is yet to grow beyond infancy. It would certainly pique our interest if Togashi were to disclose that she, among the princes, is in fact the daughter of Beyond.

Essentially, Woble exhibited unusual conduct more fitting for an adult rather than a typical baby. Her intuition about malicious intentions surpassed that of Kurapika and Bill, as she started crying upon Vincent’s approach – the individual who later murdered Sandra, one of Queen Oito’s maids. This uncanny ability to perceive ill-intent before any wrongdoing occurred might be linked to her yet unseen nen beast or possibly because she already possesses nen as an infant. The children from Beyond have been known to rapidly develop the capacity for Zetsu even at infancy, which could account for why no one has detected Woble’s nen ability.

There’s somebody I’d like to talk to. Can you arrange a meeting? — Beyond Netero

An issue arising from Woble being Beyond’s child might stem from her mother, Oito. It is unclear if Oito and Beyond have been romantically involved, though it’s plausible that Beyond may possess certain abilities that prevent her from openly acknowledging their relationship.

Can Any Prince Be Fully Written Off As Beyond’s Child?

Benjamin and Zhang are Most Likely Not Beyond’s Children

Although it’s challenging to determine the identity of Beyond’s offspring, there are several princes who can be ruled out with certainty.

Initially, it’s questionable whether Prince Benjamin, the first ruler of the Kakin empire, is actually Beyond’s son. Longhi casts doubt on the theory that Prince Benjamin is the chosen successor by Beyond to rule the Kakin throne. It’s possible that Longhi may be mistaken. However, if Benjamin was indeed Beyond’s son and a strong contender for the throne, there might not have been as much effort required for Beyond to orchestrate these events.

In a somewhat unanticipated turn of events, Prince Zhang emerges as the second unexpected contender. Though not yet officially verified, Togashi appears to hint at the possibility that his father might not be King Nasubi or Beyond, but rather Onior Longbao, the powerful mafia boss of Xi-Yu. This theory gains more credibility now that it’s clear that one doesn’t need to be sired by King Nasubi to engage in the Succession War.

Much like Prince Zhang, it’s speculated that Prince Luzurus might be the son of Brocco Li, the leader of Cha-R, despite having fewer supporters, due to their strong physical similarity.

In a different phrasing, it’s equally valid to list the late princes as potential offspring of the figure known as Beyond. However, their being his children doesn’t contribute anything significant to the narrative unfolding.
