Hunter x Hunter chapter 403 recap

Chapter 403, titled Results, focused on the political tension of the Succession War as it intensified and several key events unfolded, particularly focusing on Prince Halkenburg and his dangerous predicament.

The chapter began with a failed assassination attempt on Prince Halkenburg, orchestrated by Balsamilco Might, a loyal subordinate of 1st Prince Benjamin. The plan involved using a sophisticated, undetectable viral weapon to eliminate Halkenburg.

However, the attempt was thwarted, leaving Halkenburg’s fate uncertain as he navigated the deadly competition within the Kakin royal family.

Meanwhile, Prince Fugetsu continued to develop her Nen abilities under the guidance of Melody and the spirit of her deceased sister, Kacho.

Fugetsu used her abilities to secretly visit other princes, expanding her range and gathering important intelligence.

One of her significant interactions was with Prince Luzurus, where she attempted to assess his powers and intentions in the war. Fugetsu’s actions indicated her determination to survive the brutal conflict.

Elsewhere, Kurapika pressed forward to prevent further bloodshed by investigating the secret connections between the Kakin princes and the mysterious Beyond Netero.

Kurapika focused on identifying Beyond’s biological child among the princes, a key piece of information that could shift the balance of power and potentially end the ongoing crisis.

Kurapika’s cautious moves reflected his strategic thinking as he built alliances and prepared to counter the growing threats from all sides.

The chapter ended with a heightened sense of tension as the looming threat of violence grew and alliances were tested.

The deadly rivalry between the princes escalated, and the various schemes and counter-schemes set the stage for more dramatic confrontations.
