Hunter x Hunter 404 Preview: Fall of Prince Benjamin

The succession war was heated in HxH 404. The death of one of the nobles was now almost inevitable.

Some princes at that HxH arc sure to die more than others.


Princes who have died in successive wars

Three princes have been removed


The War of Succession proceeded slowly. It all started with the Urn ceremony, and in this battle there were fourteen princes. So far, the only way to end all of this is for a single prince to stand up, which has resulted in a few princes losing their lives. However, there may be other ways to end the war.

The first of the fourteen princes to die was Prince Momoze, the 12th prince. She is the daughter of King Nasubi and the seventh queen Sevanti. Momoze had an interesting Nen spirit beast. This mouse-like creature will ask the target if they are free and continue to harass the target until they say yes. When this happens, the beast will take the body of the target and go for the kill. Despite this interesting ability, Momoze died of suffocation in his room.


The next prince to die was Prince Salé-Salé, the 8th Prince of Kakin. Salé-Salé was never the prince his fans expected because he was lazy and unambitious. The spirit beast Nen was not bad, because it shook the people by its side. It was tied to his libido, but because he didn't leave his room very often, he didn't get many people around him. Salé-Salé was killed by Nen's ability known as Stand By Me.

The last prince to die so far in the story is Prince Kacho, the tenth prince and sister of Fugetsu, the 11th prince. Kacho is undoubtedly the best of the dead princes so far, mainly because of his strong bond with his sister. Kacho died when he and his sister tried to escape from the Black Whale, as it was impossible to leave the area of ​​the Succession War. Kacho manages to save his sister but dies in the process. Despite her death, Kacho was not left behind in the story as she took the form of the spirit beast Nen and stayed by her sister's side.


Princes Who May Die Next in the War of Succession

Fighting in a succession of battles will cause more damage

Prince Luzurus

Prince Luzurus' life is in danger right now. Fugetsu's kingdom has fallen apart, and some believe that Luzurus, or at least his spirit beast Nen, is responsible. Therefore, Beast Kacho, Melody, and Kaiser, all plan to quickly eliminate Luzurus in order to save Fugetsu. A plan to eliminate him will soon come into play, making him one of the nobles to die. The group plans to eliminate him just as Kacho lost his life. They plan to take him on a lifeboat where he will die for leaving the area left by the War of Succession. They then plan to blame his death on a drug overdose, which is unlikely, given how he handled drugs.

Prince Halkenburg


Halkenburg was one of the most interesting princes to follow during this War of Succession. He is very smart, and has an incredible Nen ability, known as “The Boy Who Shoots Arrows: Grimmel the Dissonance”. Right now HxHhe has the body of Balsamilco Might.

Worio, one of Halkenburg's followers, tells the Kaiser that Prince Halkenburg will die soon. It is not clear what he means by this, as it could simply mean that Halkenburg's original body is dead, but his memories are alive elsewhere. Halkenburg's fate remains to be seen.

Prince Benjamin


One of the contenders in the War of Succession was Prince Benjamin who had the best chance of winning, especially with his great military power and Nen skills. However, he recently lost his brain, Balsamilco Might, in HxH. Without Might, Benjamin is prone to making bad and rash decisions.

This can eventually lead to their downfall. Benjamin may indeed die, or at least his younger brother Halkenburg may. He is certainly placed in a difficult place in history at this point.

Prince Fugetsu

Prince Fugetsu is the 11th Prince of the Kakin Empire, and he is also the sister of Kacho, one of the deceased. Fugetsu was still unaware of his sister's death, due to the spirit beast Nen taking his form. Currently, Fugetsu's kingdom is in decline. He has a low spirit and is convinced by someone that he can use his infinite abilities every day.

The conditions are: the exit door is closed if Fuu-Chan goes in, and the back door is closed if I go in. – Kacho (guardian spirit beast)


He seems to have been given some kind of drug. However, no one is completely sure about what is wrong with them. Melody and Beast Kacho suspect that Luzurus is behind it, but it's all theory at this point. If he manages to kill Luzurus and Fugetsu is still sick, that means someone else is involved.

Fugetsu doesn't have much time left, which means that if the culprit is not found, he may die.

Prince Tubeppa


Prince Tubeppa is one of the oldest princes, who is the 5th Prince in general. Tubeppa is a very intelligent woman, but her strength is not where she shines, making her an even more obvious target. Tubeppa makes a deal with Prince Woble and Kurapika, thanks to Longhi's agreement. This agreement states that the Woble faction will not harm him and that he will do the same. This puts him in a better position. However, the real threat facing Tubeppa is one of Benjamin's soldiers.

Rihan, one of Benjamin's bodyguards, is a dangerous man, and one who led to the death of another Salé-Salé Prince. This is all thanks to his interesting Nen ability, known as Predator. The Predator was able to destroy Salé-Salé's wild Nen spirit, and may be able to do the same to Prince Tubeppa. He is currently gathering more information about himself and the Nen Beast, and when he has enough, he can neutralize his beast and get rid of him completely. Hopefully, with Kurapika's help, his death can be prevented.
