The anime and manga series, Hunter x Hunter, is widely known as one of the best shonen anime of all time. Its amazing world-building, incredible characters, and thrilling fight sequences have made it a beloved favorite among anime fans all over the world.
Even though the Hunter x Hunter manga is currently on a long hiatus, the dedicated fans of the story have shown that they are eager to keep the series alive in their own way.
A popular anime like Hunter x Hunter tends to bring out the absolute best in its fanbase. And the fandom has definitely not disappointed when it comes to impressive fan art, amazing cosplay, and mind-blowing fan theories.
What Secrets Lie Behind the Tragic Fate of the Kurta Clan in Hunter x Hunter?
In Hunter x Hunter, Kurapika, first appeared in the story as a serious, intense, and deeply driven character. It was very clear from the start that passing the Hunter Exam was something he had to pass by any means, as he represented the last surviving member of his beloved Kurta Clan.
What truly sets Kurapika apart from the rest of his crew is his mesmerizing scarlet eyes, which is a distinctive trait of the entire Kurta clan. It is this very characteristic thing that led to the devastating massacre of Kurapika’s small clan.
The fans have been amazed by an amazing theory that has emerged from the special “Kurapika’s Memories” one-shot of the manga, which uncovers the hidden story behind Kurapika’s clan.
It follows Kurapika and his friend Pairo experiencing a mysterious injured woman named Sheila, who trades her Hunter book for water with Kurapika and Pairo.
Regardless of different languages, Sheila shares her knowledge of the outside world, however at the same time she vanishes without a clue, leaving behind unanswered questions.
Some fans have assumed that Sheila may have had secondary motives, and her sudden departure has generated theories about her potential connection to the end of the Kurta clan.
Fans believe that she could have been spying, using her close relationship with Kurapika and Pairo to gather some inside knowledge.
A theory circulating on Reddit suggests a link between Sheila and Pariston Hill, the 13th Chairman of the Hunter Association, based on their claimed similarities and Sheila’s rat-like ears, hinting at a larger, and at the same time, complex plot.
The ongoing “Succession Contest Arc” in the manga foreshadows a close encounter between Kurapika and Pariston. This proves that Former Hunter Association Chairman, Pariston Hill, might be responsible for the massacre of Kurapika’s Kurta Clan.
When Will Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 Be Released
Previously, the author of Hunter x Hunter, Yoshihiro Togashi, announced that the next chapter 401 of the manga series is now ready to be published.
However, the only factor causing a delay in its release is that the main editors of the Shonen Jump magazine are still trying to figure out the best timing and placement to introduce the highly awaited chapter.
As Togashi has not shared any specific details about what exactly will be contained in Chapter 401, it remains puzzling whether the chapter will continue right after the previous one ended, or it may shift the focus to explore different characters and storylines.
