Hunter x Hunter Chapter 412 Review: The Identity of Prince Woble & More

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0900

Following up on last week’s Manga “Hunter x Hunter” Chapter 411 Review & More, I’m writing about the latest Hunter x Hunter chapter and impressions of some games I’ve been playing recently.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 412 “Question”

Summary: Through his questions to Queen Oito, Kurapika confirms that Prince Woble here and now does not qualify for the Succession Contest.

So, the “Prince Woble is not qualified for the Succession Contest” reveal Kurapika dropped at the end of the previous chapter was not a bluff, but the truth. Kurapika and his group were completely outplayed by Queen Oito.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 411 Review: The 2nd Nen Class & More

Hunter x Hunter’s latest chapter was published for the first time in about a year and a half, so I’ll share my thoughts on it, along with some impressions of games I’ve been playing recently.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 411 “Announcement”

Synopsis: Kurapika holds the second “Nen Ability Training Session.”

There are various other characters making moves as well, but since I didn’t go back and re-read the previous chapters before this one came out, I don’t remember what state each character is in at all, so honestly I’m not really sure what’s happening. Apparently a prince has died, and now that I think about it that might be right — and whether the claim that the 14th Prince doesn’t qualify for the succession war is true or just a bluff is anyone’s guess. It was a good chapter for building up that sense of anticipation that something is about to happen, just like always.
