What Happened in Hunter x Hunter Chapter 415?
Chapter 415 revealed more about the curse Beyond Netero placed on Furykov shortly after his birth.
Beyond explained that the curse will activate after his death. Post-mortem Nen will strengthen it before it kills one specific prince in the Succession Contest.
Furykov tried to examine the ability with his Nen technique. His analysis showed that he would need around 365 days to decrypt the curse and another 700 days to create an antidote.
That timeline makes removal almost impossible during the Black Whale voyage.
Beyond insisted that the curse does not target Benjamin. However, he refused to name the prince who would die.
The story then returned to Special Martial Law.
Benjamin ordered the surviving princes to report to Room 1001. His soldiers also planned to confiscate their weapons before the meeting.
This setup gives Benjamin control over the location, security, and movement of his rivals. Any prince who refuses the order could face arrest or accusations of treason.
Prince Luzurus disappeared before the military secured him. Meanwhile, Marayam’s protectors chose to remain inside the Nen space surrounding Room 1013.
Leaving the room could deactivate the Guardian Spirit Beast’s protection, so Marayam’s group decided to risk defying Benjamin instead.
Queen Oito faced a different problem. Benjamin’s forces confined her to Room 1014 while they searched for the real Prince Woble.
Kurapika expected Benjamin to react to Woble’s disappearance. However, the speed of the military response convinced him that another emergency had triggered martial law.
Read our Hunter x Hunter Chapter 415 spoilers and recap for the complete breakdown.
What Could Happen in Chapter 416?
Hunter x Hunter Chapter 416 may reveal what Benjamin intends to do with the princes inside Room 1001.
The meeting gives him several advantages. He can separate the princes from many of their allies, question their guards, and punish anyone who refuses his orders.
Camilla and Tserriednich will likely prepare their own responses. Neither prince has shown much fear of Benjamin, and both have dangerous Nen abilities at their disposal.
Luzurus could become another major focus. His disappearance gives Benjamin’s soldiers a reason to investigate the criminal organizations and Hunters operating aboard the ship.
Furykov also wants to connect a recent attack on Benjamin’s soldier to a larger conspiracy. He may use the incident to accuse several factions of working against Kakin.
Kurapika must protect Oito while searching for Woble. At the same time, he needs to identify the hidden event that caused Benjamin to declare martial law so quickly.
Beyond’s curse creates another threat in the background. Furykov knows that it targets a prince, but the voyage may end long before he can identify or remove it.
These predictions come from the events of Chapter 415. No Chapter 416 story details have received confirmation.
