This post contains spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter manga

Key Takeaways

• Morena's dangerous card game with Borksen intensified at HxH 408.
• Chrollo searches for Kakin treasure to improve his Nen abilities for Hisoka.
• Feitan and Phinks head to Heil-Ly's hideout, intent on disrupting the card game.

Hunter X Hunter has shown time and time again why it's one of the best ongoing manga around, and fans couldn't be happier that the manga is still going, and it shows no signs of slowing down right now. Togashi's Succession War arc just got more interesting, and it's definitely the most complex arc seen so far in the series.

In fact, Morena is currently drawing attention as she plays a card game with her victim. In the meantime, fans can expect to see the Phantom Troupe again at events in the future Hunter x Hunter 408 chapters.

Morena's game begins

Borksen plays cards with Morena

Togashi made an interesting addition to the current plot HxH 407. The fans already know that Morena is after a member of Tserriednich's private army, and therefore sends Dogman and Sodom to face the test. Although fans didn't see how Borksen, a member of the Tserriednich group, was kidnapped, they saw an entire chapter surrounding him and Morena when they were taken to the hideout.

Togashi presented a new card game he had created for this purpose. This game is probably the skill of Nen in Heil-Ly. HxH 407 explained all the rules of this game, which means that Hunter x Hunter 408 will show both Morena and Borksen playing the game.

As Morena explains, the longer the game goes, the more dangerous it is for everyone involved. It's unclear what he means by that, but HxH 408 may expand on that.

You will never cheat in the game! Yes or no? —Borksen

Morena has seven cards in this game, because she is the parent. Meanwhile, Borksen will choose one of the following cards HxH 408. If he sees the card, the decision is entirely in his hands. It is likely that Borksen's first choice is the card related to Morena's power or purpose. Borksen really wants to know more about his enemy, especially if he wants to have a chance to win this card game.

Borksen must also choose one of the cards on his side, which Morena left. Borksen's cards are all face up, so Borksen won't know what he's picking because it's all down to luck. This means that who they choose will be completely random.

But “no” is no different from “yes”. It's pretending to be my friend, but “no” will take the bait as soon as the game starts! It depends on the explanation… the “yes” and “no” cards!! — Borksen

Borksen looks smart, but it's unlikely he'll beat Morena. That, or someone can break this card game, like some members of the Phantom Troupe, especially Feitan and Phinks, who are heading to Heil-Ly's hideout.

Chrollo is looking for his treasure in HxH Chapter 408

Chrollo is after the Kakin National Treasure

As for the focus on HxH 407 was removed from Chrollo, this guy may still have a big role in the future Hunter x Hunter chapter 408. The last time he was seen in the manga, he confirmed his current goal, which is to find and steal the three Kakin national treasures. After he succeeds in his heist, he will be able to upgrade the Skill Hunter and steal a powerful and rare Nen skill – which he can use to kill Hisoka in the next battle. Chrollo also used Love Dial 6700 while trying to find someone.

Even if I should die… this is the idea of ​​creating a fear of spiders that I created..!! — Chrollo Lucilfer

HxH chapter 408 may include Chrollo. Chrollo wants to go to the upper level, because that's where the person he's looking for is. It is unknown who this person is that they are looking for, but Togashi is able to reveal the identity of this person, who some believe may even be Kurapika.

Chrollo must also find information on the location of the Kakin treasure, which he believes is in Tier 1 of the Black Whale. Whether all the treasures are hidden or where they belong, it's up to Chrollo to find them. The people he's looking for may know where these treasures are hidden, and this could bring Chrollo closer to his goal. However, this goal is still far away, because the first step is to steal the treasure. Chrollo also has to steal the chance to kill Hisoka. This would all take a few chapters on its own.

The Phantom Troupe at work in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 408

• Phinks and Feitan went to the Heil-Ly Hideout
• Bonolenov is on Hisoka's path

Although Chrollo is the most exciting Phantom Troupe member seen in action, the rest of the troupe are very involved in the current arc and the many events surrounding it. The most interesting Spiders besides Chrollo right now are definitely the Spider Trio, who are now split up. Nobunaga, Feitan, and Phinks have been acting together for several chapters, but now, Nobunaga is going his own way. It is not clear what Nobunaga is doing now, however, it is certain that he has encountered Hinrigh and the other Xi-Yu members, who are currently unhappy with the Troupe due to Lynch's murder. It can have a negative effect on him.

Meanwhile, Feitan and Phinks make their way to Heil-Ly's hideout. Whether they will get there is uncertain, but the transmitter Hinright left there reverts to its original form when Nen runs out. However, both of them will continue to strive to reach this position. If they manage this, they could effectively break the current card game between Morena and Borksen. It is not clear how they can stop the game, but the role of these two will have to be seen in the face of Heil-Ly, especially since they can only play defensively. do because otherwise you will be fired. Even if the two of them reach Morena, it will not destroy him because he still has a huge responsibility.

And, of course, if we talk about the Phantom Troupe, Bonolenov is very interesting. He stops next to Hisoka when he sees him. But the real thing is that he might be used to Hisoka. These may be Bonolenov's final chapters as he becomes Hisoka's next kill. If Bonolenov were to die now, it would infuriate Chrollo even more, and make him determined to kill Hisoka for good. Bonolenov will not be Hisoka's last victim either.
