Important characters in the Succession War Arc

1 Prince Tserridnich Hui Guo Ruo

The greatest threat to humanity? 4th Prince Tserriednich Hui Guo Rou.

The greatest threat to humanity? 4th Prince Tserriednich Hui Guo Rou. is one of the most prominent characters in the story arc. Despite only being introduced during the Dark Continent Expedition Arc, he has quickly risen to be the number one most hated character in the Hunter x Hunter series. Tserriednich is incredibly intelligent and inhumane, as seen when he showcases his desire to kill each of his siblings. Although most people on the Black Whale realize that Tserriednich winning the battle will be devastating for everyone, he seems to be in the running for the first place. The only characters with a chance to take down Tserriednich before he can cause irreparable damage are Kurapika and Beyond Netero.

2 Kurapika

Can't wait for Hunter x Hunter to come back :(
Can't wait for Hunter x Hunter to come back :( The fan-favorite character is returning to the Hunter x Hunter manga in full force. He has sharpened his Nen abilities and honed his combat skills, preparing him for the voyage to the Dark Continent. Kurapika may engage with Prince Tserriednich due to their conflicting ideals. Tserriednich wants to conquer everything and everyone, aiming to rule the Kakin Empire with an iron fist; meanwhile, Kurapika wants to fulfill his goals without being blocked by anything. This will further feed into the conflict that will arise once Kurapika confronts Tserriednich about the Scarlet Eyes he has in his collection.

3 Beyond Netero

Starting to empathise a bit too much with Beyond Netero...Starting to empathise a bit too much with Beyond Netero... Beyond Netero was first introduced in Hunter x Hunter's Dark Continent Expedition Arc as one of the strongest humans since his father's death. The only other human capable of matching his immense skill and strength is Ging Freecss. Although Beyond could likely poke a hole in Tserriednich's plans to become king, his main goal is to explore the Dark Continent, and unless it helps him uncover the secrets of the Dark Continent, Beyond will have no interest in it.
