Chapter 402 will carry on with the Succession War Arc, showcasing Beyond Netero leading an expedition into the Dark Continent for King Nasubi aboard the Black Whale 1. During their journey, King Nasubi initiates a perilous showdown among his fourteen princes to determine his successor.

Expect further developments regarding Longhi’s shocking revelation of being Beyond’s daughter and her intricate backstory. She harbors intentions to eliminate the victor of the princes’ deadly contest, partially fueled by a desire for revenge against Beyond for hiding her origin.

Longhi points out an ongoing peace treaty between royalty, which necessitates a representative’s presence in Room 1014 at a designated time to uphold the agreement.

Following their confrontation, Kurapika and Bill are left at a crossroads, their choices likely to impact the story throughout the arc. Meanwhile, Beyond remains confined in his cell — and in Chapter 401, we observed his growing restlessness as he busca for more reading materials, teasing his guard.

As Chapter 401 concludes, we learn he wishes to meet someone, but their identity is still uncertain. Could it be Longhi? Although that seems improbable given the circumstances, he might have a clearer perception of the impending turmoil than we assume.

This year also marks the return of other major franchises, such as Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 and Dragon Ball Daima. Stay connected for guides on how to catch up with these series as well.
