With this chapter still being set in the Succession Contest arc, the plot concerning the royals of the Kakin Empire gets put on a hold for a while with the story focusing on the events that center around the three biggest mafia families of the Kakin Empire, notably, Xi-Yu, Heil-ly, and Cha-R. The Spiders and Hisoka are now added to the mix, and it’s bound to get messier and bloodier. It seems the story, with every chapter, is closer and closer to a final breakout of a full conflict between the three mafia families.
The Phantom Troup And The Heil-Ly
Hunter x Hunter393 starts with the conclusion of the short-lived threat that was the assassin that was sent by the Heil-ly, Luini. In the last chapter,three members of the Phantom Troupe, Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan stayed behind to kill the Heil-ly assassin that was to be sent to this location. They did this as a measure of safety to dispose of him and to avoid any surprises when looking for Hisoka Morrow.
While in the last chapter he did have an impressive entry, it seems it was all for show and that he really never stood any chance against even a single one of the Spiders. This chapter began with Luini explaining the overall goals of Heil-Ly, that is, taking down Cha-R and then Xi-Yu. He then asked the Phantom Troupe to team up with Heil-Ly – to which Nobunaga responded by piercing Luini’s head with his katana.
Fans also get to see members of Cha-R arrive, only to find the decapitated body of Luini laying on the floor. The Cha-R members were also wondering about their underlings, and it seems as if Luini killed them all in the warehouse. Holding Luini’s severed head, Nobunaga announces the goals of the Spider, which, by the looks of it, is to crush Heil-ly themselves. While doing so, they still plan on finding Hisoka. Tsudonke is also still set on getting each of the members of the Spider’s autograph, it seems.
Inside Of Heil-Ly
AsHunter x Hunter393 continued, the readers got a better look at theinside of the Heil-Ly Family. Some members were seen lamenting the death of Luini as he was the best at tracking their prey. They discuss who could take his role over as it is only going to be harder for them to level up. Luini’s role specifically seemed to be to get a hold of individuals and drag them back to Heil-Ly’s hideout so other members could kill them to level up due to the dangerousness of hunting outside – a direct consequence of the security getting stricter.

The members are also on the lookout amongst their members for someone, potentially an Emitter, who could counter handcuffs turned into pigeons, referencing Hinrigh Biganduffno’s ability that got one of their members, Padaille, killed. During all that dialogue, fans also get a glimpse of Morena, the leader of the Heil-Ly, as she gave her opinion on how to best counter the ability of the underboss of Xi-Yu.
Hisoka And The Deal With Xi-Yu
Everything concerning Heil-Ly aside,Hunter x Hunter393 showed the readers that Zakuro Casturd and Lynch Fullbocco have, thankfully, made it out alive from Hisoka’s grasp. After confronting Hisoka in the last chapter, it seems that he was satisfied enough with just knocking them out before heading to the cinema. When these two finally regained consciousness, they went to Hinrigh Biganduffno to inform him of Hisoka’s whereabouts. Zakuro and Lynch will, however, now be looking for the head of the Spider, Chrollo Lucilfer.
Hinrigh Biganduffno, meanwhile, headed towards the cinema with the goal of striking a deal with Hisoka, who, since the previous chapter, seems to have had a makeover – perhaps reflecting his switch of ideals. Hinrigh’s ulterior motives are giving Hisoka’s whereabouts to the Spider in exchange for Heil-Ly’s annihilation. Sitting next to Hisoka, he tried to strike a deal with him: lay low in tier 1 reception area until the conflict between Cha-R and Heil-ly is over. With the Troupe currently allied to Cha-R and with them also being in alliance with Xi-Yu to wipe out Heil-Ly, any intervention from Hisoka to attack the Troupe would be considered unhelpful.Hisoka ends up accepting-promising he won’t start unless he is provoked by the spiders.
The Cha-R And The Xi-Yu
Hunter x Hunter 393 reached its conclusion with Wang, the underleader of Cha-R, questioning the police officer, waiting suspiciously. This is the same police officer that promised to take Hinrigh to the head of Heil-Ly, provided that he paid him 50 million. With them being in an alliance with Xi-Yu, they decided to wait for Hinrigh to hand over the money, which he did via a lieutenant for Xi-Yu. Soon after, they’re met with an old man instead of corporeal Maizen inside the secret room and a conflict appears to be on the brink of breaking out here, with Hinrigh throwing a knife at the wall behind the man.
Hunter x Hunteris only getting more interestingand this week’s chapter provided a lot more depth to characters such as Hisoka and the major families of Cha-R and Heil-Ly. From here onwards, fans will only be treated to more intense chapters, as expected of the masterful writing of Yoshihiro Togashi.
