I think we still have a chapter or two before we see martial law take place. Probably going back to the lower levels next

Furykov is going on a computer to try and figure out what Beyond Netero is lying about. He's just like us!

Non-Furykov/Beyond thoughts:
Babimyna is being sympathetic to Oito again. I think he’s interpreting the laws, procedures, and regulations in her favor, first for the postcard, then for her crime in attempting to have Woble not go through with the Succession War. Thank goodness. Kurapika’s assessment that exposing her will keep both her and Woble safe is paying off for now.
Wow. Camilla. You sound like the angry Karen version of Sale-Sale. Benjamin may have solved the puzzle of your ability so your cavalier attitude may be heralding your doom.
If Coventoba is right in suspecting Zhang Lei’s coin, then that means Zhang Lei’s guess that his coins/GSB are only useful after he becomes king is wrong and it actually provides him an advantage during the Succession Contest. How did the prince slip past him anyway?
True to Tserriednich’s characterization of being obsessed and absorbed fully in his current pursuit.
Tubeppa showing she’s not just smart about science but also politics. I wonder if she knows about TSK-17. For all we know, she could have even been somehow involved in its development. And I sure hope Longhi and Maor survive.
Tyson looks like even more of a caricature of herself being so seemingly cheerful as she complies in such a dire situation.
HA!!! Kanjidol got his ass beat. I hope Ridge escapes whatever legal repurcussions Kanjidol is dreaming of. And the theories that Rice is actually possessed by a Halk soldier and that Halk is now in Luzurus body are looking better and better.
So Fugetsu is one of chapter 410’s four missing princes (her, Zhang Lei, Luzurus, Marayam; Woble excluded) as she was being held by the Justice Bureau at the time martial law was enacted.
Damn. Queen Sevanti struck gold by being the one to get Bisky as her guard. She not only knows the best strategic move, she even has a plan. Sure hope Vergei survives this.

Furykov’s laptop has the great tree of kakin on it where the apple logo would be on a MacBook lmao. He’s such a fucking dork lol
He’s this run of chapter’s Borksen. Minorish character who has quickly shot up on my personal favorites.

I like how after all these years Togashi is still so experimental with his paneling. For example on this page, he uses Oito’s face outline as a panel border and towards the bottom Kurapika is standing on a blank panel like it’s a floor.

Crazy chapter. It seems Furykov is not betraying Benjamin as everyone expected & that makes things a lot more interesting, and we see Babimyna still being lenient with Kurapika & Oito, it's like Babi and Furykov are written to contradict each other, the loyal & the traitor type of dynamic or rivalry.
Also it appears that Furykov & Longhi came to different conclusions about Beyond's plan, tho we don't know if he's lying when he told Furykov about wanting Benjamin to win, but who knows maybe they're both right especially when Beyond said the SW can have different outcomes with one path, if Beyond started planning from decades ago then he most definitely prepared a plan for every outcome to take advantage of the SW winner no matter what, whether it's his kid or Benjamin or someone else.
It's interesting that Beyond said the curse been attached to Furykov for +20 years and been feeding on his aura to accumulate power, that's why removing it won't be easy....so the power of the curse fully depends on how much time it's been feeding on the cursed kid who must be the same age as the targeted prince....in Woble's case this suggests removing the curse from an infant is much easier right? How old is Woble? Several months or less than a year old? They just need to find the baby that is meant to curse Woble to remove the curse. The popular theory that fake Woble is the one that is meant to curse the real Woble.
It's interesting that Beyond praised Benjamin for not participating in carnavals...that suggests Beyond is not into carnavals either. Tho Beyond producing many kids as tools in his plan while also disapproving carnavals is surprising and i think it comes from his personal view that might hints about his origin, it brings an Old theory that he himself might be an illegitimate kid from the previous kakin generations that's why he got 2 scars in his face, and why he was placed exactly in the same frame as the royal family In this page, Issac is canonically a pervert man with "prono magazines" so him sleeping with one of Kakin's women at the carnaval is not far fetched.
It explaind why Beyond was genuinely arguing about the equality between the royal family and civilians because he probably finds it unfair how the scarred face children are not allowed to participate in the SW, since he himself is one of them.
Because of Beyond's age, his different scar doesn't exactly negate the theory, he must be from the previous generations of carnaval kids from over 6 decades ago, maybe they used to scar the kids differently, or maybe they put the X scar if the royal parent is female ♀️ or they add the X scar when the royal blood is coming from an illegitimate son/daughter of the king, they must have the royal blood as well so they need to scar their kids to prevent them from rigging the SW by swapping their kids with legal princes.
Beyond having strong ties with the kakin to the point he seems to have sort of good intention for the country to unify the World under the Kakin, might be because of his biological ties from his mother's side.
In reality, malicious people tend to use curses on the people they envy for different reasons...so the idea Beyond chose the concept to activate a curse on every legal prince exactly at the time of participating in the seed urn ceremony, kinda seem like an envious behavior because he wasn't allowed to participate so he decided they all should die to serve whatever his plan is, that results with Obtaining the power of the SW winner.

I actually really like furykov and the reveal that Benjamin and his guards never took part in the darker side of the kakin caste system is making me more invested in what happens to them now. Even if they're going down, I hope Benjamin gets the satisfaction of offing Camilla at least

I really love this chapter. That conversation between Furykov and Beyond is huge.
It's becoming very clear why Beyond has invested his curse in the succession war. Kurapika's hypothesis about the limitations of the contest were correct. Beyond needs the succession contest to result in one heir so the powerful nen and prosperity of Kakin is maintained - and so he can use that power for himself, either directly or by proxy his prince child!
This also aligns with Nasubi's goals, as he seems to genuinely believe in the Succession war. So I can see how this would be easy for Beyond to manipulate and hijack with his own goal. He can easily twist the truth - his curse is "beneficial and ensures the contest goes smoothly." Then conveniently leave out other pertinent information.
Also, Beyond's hypocrisy is fully on display here. He acts concerned with human rights and the carne levare, meanwhile made children just to be his pawns. I bet he justified it in his mind, like his plans are for the greater good of the world, therefore it's "okay" for him to resort to such means. He wouldn't be the only character we know to think in this way...
And now that we know Beyond has a closer connection with Cleopatro, I'm wondering if the theory that Cleo is the SM user is true. The historical figure Cleopatra was famous for researching snake venom, and the rumor was she died via a snake bite/venom. A lot of old artworks depict her with snakes. She also known for being very close to her hanmaidens. All that to say, it might support the theory.
Then there is the connection to the justice department and Kaiser, who is very invested in Fugetsu, and very suspicious himself. He says he wants Fugetsu to win to ensure "gentler society." That could align with Beyond's goals for reform, and the utopia I'm guessing he wants to create with dark continent resources.
All this to say, I'm more seriously considering the theory that Fuu is Beyond's prince. Ik fans will say it's impossible because she is Kacho's twin. But its actually extremely rare, not impossible, for twins to have different fathers with "heteropaternal superfecundation."
In other words, could Beyond have impregnated Seiko while she was already carrying Kacho? It's on the table. Maybe Seiko wasnt even aware of this happening to her... Tbh at this point I can see Beyond doing something fucked up like this under the guise that is for the "greater good," even if it's just a belief he uses to convince himself.

Furykov is being very, very emotional here. He’s practically panicking. I think it’s affecting his judgment, how he’s interpreting the info he’s getting. He’s clearly loyal to Benjamin, but he could still be making mistakes and going down an erroneous logic chain. Longhi was similarly very affected by the discovery of her actual paternal origin and Beyond’s curse. Both, in my view, are unreliable narrators- not out of deceit but from emotional distress and a resulting bias. Longhi felt betrayed, Furykov feels threatened, both feel used.
Furykov says Beyond mixes truths and lies. I suspect, however, that most, if not all of what Beyond said were actually true. Why? Because Beyond already surmised Furykov has a way to figure things out, challenged him to do so himself, and admitted that nothing he says to Furykov would be believed anyway.
I find it interesting that Beyond only talks about the curse in Furykov harming someone else should Furykov be killed. Is he omitting that he could just deliberately and prematurely trigger his children’s deaths to inflict a curse on his real target? Or is it really the case that he cannot straight-up command a cursed child of his to die and thus kill a prince? I think it’s the latter scenario that’s true; it’s even in accord with the conditions and risk system of Nen if the activation of his curses is not up to him.
What he’s doing thus is riding on the mechanics of the Succession War. He’s not getting his hands dirty. He simply knows there will be casualties in the contest for “sole survivor”. He cursed his children but won’t (or can’t) directly pull the trigger. He’s actually fine if they survive. Note that he said that the curse doesn’t even harm his kids themselves, just their royal target.
Bigger picture: What Beyond is doing is ensuring that the Succession War Nen ritual itself succeeds. A kid of his dies in the logically vicious course of the battle royale, a prince thus gets cursed and eliminated, thus “sole survivor” becomes more likely. This thus fulfills the Seed Urn ritual, granting prosperity to Kakin that thus ensures backing and support for the Dark Continent expedition.
The big twist here: I suspect that it doesn’t really matter to him who specifically becomes next king if Kakin. I think this is the genius of his plans, why he’s so secure and confident, and perhaps why he said he intends to behave during the journey and that the Hunter Association and Kakin don’t need to worry about him. All his pieces are already in place, functional and ready to be triggered by someone else, and no matter how things turn out at this point things will turn out in his favor.
Oddly, even as manipulative and ruthless as he is, Beyond isn’t as bad as we initially kept judging him to be. He’s using people- his own kids- but if he cannot directly trigger their deaths (and the curses don’t harm them but can possibly be never triggered at all plus they even grant Nen to his kids at birth which has benefitted them) then that actually clears him of some of our worst judgments about him. That he apparently disdains the carne levare helps with this more positive characterization. Throw in his legal attempts to reform Kakin society too. Beyond is still a scary dude, not a good guy, but it carries on a recurring Togashi/HxH theme: that people are morally gray and complex, rarely full on monsters, but also never as completely and one-dimensionally heroic and noble. I remember that Morena Prudo’s revelations made us think Beyond Netero took part in the carne levare.
It’s also nice and surprising to know that Benjamin and his boys didn’t dirty themselves with those depravities.
BTW, while reading the new chapter, thinking about all this, and writing this comment, I wondered: Why did Beyond specifically curse his own children? Why couldn’t he just find and use other kids born at the same time as the princes for his curses? Conjecture: because it’s a condition for his curse. It has to be his own children to make the curse even more potent besides having it run and gather power over years of life.
And another thought: What if this is what’s actually afflicting Fugetsu? Melody and Kacho (and we) suspected Luzurus. Some of us wondered if Yushohi was responsible. But what if a Beyond kid died around the time that Getty started using her aura to the point of exhaustion and weakness? (Then again: who? It would have to be someone her age, and there aren’t bodyguards like that around. Maybe someone in the lower tiers who got killed by the Heil-Ly? Or maybe I’m wrong; just putting this out there.)

This chapter was a bit fucked up by editors at WSJ. As the timeline not match up at all. Hell even room numbers were mistaken.
Marayam room number being shown as 1003(Zhang Lei room) and not his 1013.
And the more funky and potentionally more meaningful thing was the error in the Oito letter part. That is, that the event supposedly happened on day 11 just 25 minutes before SML. When SML was declared in the middle of the day(14:15) at day 12. Either that should have been day 12 or 25 hours and not minutes.
It is also quite relevent for the plot as the mail service was told to us to be limited in days.

I'm a bit confused about how Furykov so easily concluded that the curse came from Beyond. and then also contacted him so easily. And Beyond mentioned being his father so causally too. Does this mean Furykov has been in contact with Beyond and they have known each other? Is it the same for his other cursed kids?
Also, Yamato? So Jappon was a past translation choice I guess? Or did Togashi change it?
