Hunter x Hunter Chapter 406: Chrollo's Determination

This article contains spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter manga.

Key insights

• Wanting to die to defeat Hisoka in Chapter 406, Chrollo sets out to find a special treasure that could lead to his downfall.
• The Xi-Yu want revenge for Lynch's death, potentially putting Bonolenov in danger in the upcoming chapter.
• Bonolenov follows Hisoka and puts himself in a dangerous situation where he could be the next member of the Phantom Troupe to die.

Togashi has maintained a constant publication of Hunter x Hunter Chapters since the manga's return from a two-year hiatus. Now, a month and a half after returning from Hunter x HunterFans are waiting for the release of Hunter x Hunter Chapter 406. This chapter delves deeper into Chrollo Lucilfer's character, specifically a popular antagonist and leader of the Phantom Troupe.

This bow of Hunter x Hunter could very well mean the end of many beloved groups and characters in this series, which includes the Phantom Troupe.

Chrollo's hunt for his treasure could be highlighted in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 406

Chrollo wants to die

In Hunter x Hunter In 405, Chrollo was a temporary character as he focused more on other characters like Hisoka or Heil-Ly. During the few moments Chrollo had in this chapter, Bonolenov mentioned that he was looking for a special treasure. This treasure is located on the Black Whale, and at the moment it is unknown what exactly it is. This treasure will be used to finally kill Hisoka. From all of this information, it's easy to deduce that the treasure Chrollo is looking for may be a Nen ability from someone on this ship. This Nen ability would be powerful enough to kill Hisoka and keep him dead. It is also possible that it is not a Nen ability, but also an artifact that has some power. Whatever it is, this treasure will likely kill Hisoka, but will also cause the death of Chrollo.

Chrollo, based on what the other squad members seem to observe, is willing to die to defeat Hisoka, so the other Spiders try to get to Hisoka themselves first to save Chrollo. However, Chrollo's determination will likely mean his end, and likely the end of the Phantom Troupe in this arc. The next chapter, that is Hunter x Hunter Chapter 406 could show Chrollo getting closer and closer to the treasure he is looking for. This treasure could be in the possession of some Kakin royalty, such as a prince or perhaps even a queen.

Everyone knows that this time he wants to settle things on his own once and for all… and that the “treasure” he's looking for in this ship is a skill he'll need to finally kill Hisoka… that's why everyone wants it first Killing Hisoka Chrollo can reach him. — Bonolenov

The next chapters will definitely be of great importance not only for Chrollo, but also for the Phantom Troupe in general, as many of its members like Nobunaga and Bonolenov are in the spotlight.

The Xi-Yu want revenge

• Bonolenov killed Lynch
• Hinrigh and Zakura are on the hunt

In HxH 405, Bonolenov was quite an important figure, taking up much of this chapter. In this chapter, he revealed that he was disguised as Hisoka when he met the Xi-Yu, and during this meeting he was discovered to be a false Hisoka by a member of the Xi-Yu, Lynch Fullboko. Because of this, Bonolenov decided to kill her. He tried to cover up her death to pretend he was uninvolved, but the Xi-Yu are certainly smarter than that, especially Hinrigh, who has proven to be quite clever and calculating.

Members of the Xi-Yu, likely including Hinrigh and Zakuro, may find her body inside HxH 406. Depending on how important Lynch was to them, this could mean that they wanted revenge for her death. Killing a member of their mafia family could constitute a serious crime.

What happens after that definitely depends on who is to blame for her death. Bonolenov was dressed as Hisoka when it all unfolded. So if they blame someone for her death, it's entirely possible that it's Hisoka. This means that the Xi-Yu will probably go hunting for Hisoka. The Xi-Yu have no real way to connect this to the Phantom Troupe at the moment, so they should be safe for now. However, this could change and have a negative impact on the relationship between Nobunaga and Hinrigh, which could impact the entire Heil-Ly family operation.

HxH Chapter 406 could definitely start with Hinrigh and Zakura finding Lynch's body somewhere, and fans will have to see how events unfold from there.

Hisoka and Bonolenov are very important for Hunter X Hunter Chapter 406

• Bonolenov follows Hisoka
• Bonolenov could be in danger

A main focus of HxH In 405, Hisoka's whereabouts were revealed. In fact, the Hisoka that fans had previously seen in other chapters was not the real Hisoka but a fake. This fake was achieved with Bonolenov's Nen ability Metamorphoses. Bonolenov, who posed as Hisoka, has now transformed into a different form. So far it is unclear whether Hisoka is aware that he is being followed, but knowing Hisoka's abilities and strength, it is not unlikely that he is aware.

If Hisoka knows about Bonolenov, he may lure him to another location on this level of the Black Whale to eliminate him. As fans know, Hisoka's goal is to gradually eliminate each member of the Phantom Troupe, which includes Bonolenov. With that in mind, the Phantom Troup's next fatality could very well be Bonolenov, as he appears to be in the most difficult situation at the moment. Hisoka is extremely powerful, and to make matters worse for Bonolenov, Hisoka's Nen ability, Bungee Gum, is a perfect antidote to Bonolenov's powers.

See, I'm normal. I have no interest in bestiality or an orgy – I can't get aroused. I'm just a guy who wants to be with someone one on one… so we can love each other more than anything. –Hisoka

Hisoka could easily incapacitate him by immobilizing him or even plugging his holes with bungee gum, making it impossible for him to play music and activate his powers. This duel is very bad for Bonolenov, and if he doesn't find a way to escape and return the information he gathered to Chrollo and the others, he could very well die. This would put Chrollo in an even worse state of mind, as the death of every spider would further strengthen his resolve to kill Hisoka, even if it means going down with him.
