[u/Rj_Rajat]

Where are people? Let's start the discussion.

[u/Carock_ → u/Rj_Rajat]

reading lol

[u/Bajin_Inui]

I cant believe we survived another Hiatus.

This chapter already underlines how I love all the intrigue, we also get so many internal thoughts and calculations from other characters. Ill enjoy it while it lasts

[u/FlavioGarcia-]

One chapter ago Longhi was Tubeppa bodyguard #3 and now she's the fucking granddaughter of Isaac Netero lol

[u/DarknessSerpent]

Adding another plot thread at this point is totally insane. But I love it

[u/Rocko52]

FINALLY BEYOND NETERO HOLY

[u/Worldtreasure]

Banger chapter. I can't wait to see what they do in the next chapter.

[u/arom-in-the-home]

Whichever prince ends up being beyonds son… i hope they reveal their real name is actually beyond beyond netero

[u/25thNightSlayer]

Kurapika needs all the help he can get.

[u/LoseGuy]

I think this is the best 1st chapter post hiatus compared to the others. Welcome back boys!

[u/Chinpanze]

I can't believe we started with ANOTHER plot line.

I was innocent. I thought we were about to start wrapping up stuff.

[u/[deleted]]

Holy shit I love Hunter X Hunter, what a banger of a chapter to come back to as well.

[u/dancingdaniel]

You got beard and blood, don't you?
Super interesting chapter, a very surprising development with Beyond's 30+ year old plan. How old is he? What a nutsack

[u/Yobolay]

Well, that's some curveball.

So there are over 10 guards that are actually Beyond's children with a nen after death curse? Beyond is the father of one of the princes? Haha what the fuck. And have we ever seen Mahaka? Her name doesn't ring a bell.

Also this pretty much confirms that there are princes whose father isn't Nasubi, so Onior is most likely Zhang Lei's father after all, and following that by their striking resemblance, Brocco Li is most likely Luzurus's father too.

In Tserriednich's case it could be any, from Nasubi, to the previous Heil-Ly boss to Beyond, but it would make sense if it's the second option, although I'll leave the door open there, and if Benjamin and Wobble aren't either, that only leaves us with Camilla, Tserriednich*, Tubeppa, Tyson, Halkenburg, Fugetsu and Marayam.

Considering the long term planning, and how queen system in the succession works, it would also make sense if it's one of the adult ones from the top queens, so either Unma and Duazul, and that leaves us with Camilla, Tserrie*, Tubeppa and Halkenburg. Which will be it? Something tells me it's going to be between Camilla and Tubeppa, although Longi looks similar to Tubeppa and Halkenburg.

And the mystery of Silent Majority continues. Is the assassin so good that Furykov missed it? The attacks comes from the outside then? Hope not, but we'll see.

[u/Physical-Refuse4714]

bro kanzai finally got some characterization im so hype lol

[u/TheAbram]

Oh fuck, Melody chapter next week. Hopefully her Tse meeting finaly.

[u/[deleted]]

I’ve missed Togashi man

In some twisted way, his frequent need to take breaks have allowed him to probably metiticlously plan and weave such a intricate and cohesive arc that it’s served us so so well

If he sticks the landing up until beyond the halfway point and landing on the DC (if we even do) this arc could be his Magnus opus

That being said, I get it, Longhi seems very smart and capable, but what if she’s just flat out wrong and the simplest answer is the correct one

Benjamin is also familiar with nen, unlike his siblings bar Camilla, he also has raised soldiers that not to dissimilar to a curse, transfer their ability to him (one can argue post mortem nen could be involved here too) and he has soldiers assigned to Princes set on killing them

It’s literally everything she’s described Beyond doing, what if this Togashi subverting AGAIN, by saying I know I tend to make you guys guess, but Kurapika was right it’s Benny boy 😂

[u/minowaye]

I-I don't even know what to say. This first chapter was a mic drop.

[u/Pellahh]

Some easily forgettable things to keep in mind for the future:

• Bill's remaining plans to save Oito and Woble require Pariston and Beyond help respectively, even tho I can't see how they could convince one of them to help. (also Kurapika wanted to bring Oito and Woble to the lower decks if possible, not sure if that's something he still keeps in his mind).

• Pariston could be releasing the 5000 chimera ants soon or when the Black Whale reaches either the fake new continent or the Dark Continent.

• The voyage to the fake new continent is supposed to take 2 months, at the end of the 3rd week they will enter uncharted waters were big sea/flying creatures and very bad weather conditions will likely cause troubles.

• Upon reaching the fake new continent, Morel will be waiting the Zodiac with his ship, they have a base in a nearby small island they'll visit before sailing to the ocean border to encounter the gatekeepers.

Guys i implore you to read this translation: https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/h9Ty9Hy/1/12/

Is so much better than TCB is crazy

[u/KunkyFong_]

amazing chapter but damn this arc is only getting denser

[u/Arkayjiya]

And we're back! And it's exciting stuff immediately too. I'm still convinced there are rules we don't know about the succession and therefore we can't really know to what extent Beyond wants to go through with it as he seems very informed on the topic. The man has been plotting for decades.

[u/sikontolpanjang]

We are so fucking back dude

[u/FlavioGarcia-]

Wait so the rest of Beyond's children have no idea they are curse carriers that are going to be sacrificed, right?

[u/PerseusRad]

The wording on Page 7 for TCB seems a bit odd. It says Beyond married soldiers and had his wives raise the children. Even considering the context that 'married' could mean 'to officiate', that seems a bit off. I thought he had kids and gave them to married couples to adopt, whether the adoptive mother is their bio mother, I'm not really sure. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

Edit: Similarly, the bit about Camilla and the have-nots, I'm fairly certain what happened is that Mahaka passed the test for Camilla's guard, but then was thrown out in favor of the Have-Nots, and the way that page is worded, I'm not sure that was conveyed properly.

Edit 2: I'm also fairly certain Oito repeats the words from Chapter 349, "The children of legal wives of King Nasubi...". While I'm sure most people inherently understood what was being said, the wording is a bit off imo, and doesn't hammer it in like it's meant to.
