Hunter X Hunter Chapter 404 recap
Hunter X Hunter Chapter 404, titled Speculation, sees Kurapika examine the coins created by Zhang Lei’s Guardian Spirit Beast. He observes that their design changes as they are passed between individuals, indicating a potential hidden mechanism.
When Zhang Lei gives him a coin that increased in value from one to ten, Kurapika accepts it, knowing it could activate Zhang Lei’s semi-coercive manipulation ability. However, due to its short period of accumulated Nen, he is not forced into violent action.
Kurapika observes that these coins take ten days to change after circulation in Hunter x Hunter Chapter 404, leading him to conclude that Zhang Lei’s Spirit Beast accumulates Nen, which can then influence loyalty through pseudo-coercion.
Meanwhile, Halkenburg, now in Balsamilco’s body, uses this mind-swapping ability to further his objectives in the Succession War. As his own body succumbs to death, Halkenburg plans to make the most of his remaining ten hours to solidify his power.
Hunter X Hunter Chapter 404 ends as Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan continue their mission to confront the Heil-Ly family.
