Chapter 359
Departure
- 01 Day 1 · Sunday · 12:00 Ship Departs The Black Whale sounds its horn and leaves the port of Kakin for the New Continent, at noon on a Sunday. The blast is what opens the Succession Contest: the rules read out at the urn ceremony hold that the contest begins with it, and that a potential heir dying before it would call the whole thing off. Seq. 2
- 02 Day 1 · Sunday · 12:15-12:30 Woody is found dead Woody dies between 12:15 and 12:30, minutes after the Black Whale leaves port, and is found exsanguinated on the bathroom floor of room 1014. Kurapika reaches the bathroom shortly afterwards with Bill, Kurton, Sayird and two more of the detail. Seq. 3
- 03 Day 1 The inaugural banquet gathers the royal family The Tier 1 banquet hall receives the court for the first dinner of the crossing: Nasubi on his throne, the five highest princes — Benjamin, Camilla, Zhang Lei, Tserriednich and Tubeppa — Halkenburg, Kacho and Fugetsu, Momoze in a corner with Marayam and their mother Sevanti, and Queen Oito with the child the archive later learns is her nephew. The hall holds through chapters 359 to 362 as the princes leave at staggered intervals: Kacho uses hers to propose an alliance to Fugetsu, Halkenburg crosses to the throne to tell his father he withdraws from the contest, Tserriednich and Tubeppa strike their own alliance, and Nasubi lays down the rules the Guardian Spirit Beasts must obey. Seq. 4
- 04 Day 1 Four more guards are found exsanguinated Escorting Oito and the child back from the banquet, Kurapika and his detail come on four more bodyguards dead in a corridor of the royal residential sector, drained of blood exactly as Woody was. Five deaths in an afternoon is what turns an unexplained corpse into the pattern Kurapika reads as parasitic Nen. The four are never named; the next chapter establishes that each of the five was serving a queen other than Oito. Seq. 5
Chapter 360
Parasite
- 01 Day 1 Kurapika interrogates the detail Gun and Dowsing Chain drawn in room 1014, Kurapika tells the bodyguards and servants what the voyage really is — a succession war — and questions each of them on what they already knew. Two admit they knew and that they are not Woble's men. Oito orders him to shoot them on the spot; he has them tied to chairs instead, and one explains that the five dead guards each served someone else: Oito being the lowest-ranked queen, the other seven placed their own guards around her as informants. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 1 Sayird is manipulated Controlled by a parasitic Nen ability, Sayird kills Kurton and attacks Kurapika before being subdued. Seq. 2
Chapter 362
Resolve
- 01 Day 1 The rules of the Guardian Spirit Beasts emerge The princes learn that the beasts cannot directly kill one another or another host, while Tserriednich forces Theta to teach him Nen. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 1 The princes take stock of their beasts, room by room The chapter walks the royal residential sector. Luzurus questions three of his Hunters from his armchair, Basho among them, and sets them to watching for other beasts. Tyson takes a head massage and a manicure from her detail while asking Izunavi — Kurapika's own Nen teacher — what her beast looks like, and is pleased to hear fairies. Salé-salé holds a party with his women and shows no interest in either the contest or the thing hovering over him. Theta and Salkov settle in the corridor how much Nen they will let Tserriednich have. Seq. 2
- 03 Day 1 Halkenburg's eleven bodyguards collapse Halkenburg comes back to room 1009 and finds all eleven of his bodyguards unconscious on the floor, with no explanation he can see. It is the first act of his Guardian Spirit Beast, twenty chapters before he awakens Grimmel the Dissonance and learns that the ability runs on the aura of the followers it marks. Seq. 3
Chapter 363
Nen Beasts
- 01 Day 1 Camilla puts the drop-out rule to the king Zhang Lei opens the chapter learning in the corridor, then in room 1003, that Woble's detail has been all but wiped out, and reads the beasts as the key to it. In the banquet hall Camilla asks her father to confirm that only biological death counts as dropping out of the contest; Benjamin comes up behind her, mocks the question and tells her she is unqualified. Both leave the hall — she frustrated, he furious, with two soldiers behind him. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 1 Début du chapitre 363 Événement de référence pour le chapitre 363 Seq. 1
- 03 Day 1 Balsamilco talks Benjamin down in room 1001 Balsamilco tells Benjamin across the table that every prince carries a Nen beast, and that he cannot see his own. He counsels patience on two counts: moving alone is dangerous while the beasts are invisible to him, and Kurapika's emergency broadcast has made Nen common knowledge in every camp, which costs them the advantage they held. Seq. 2
- 04 Day 1 Benjamin deploys his soldiers among the princes After learning the limits of the guardian beasts, Benjamin uses his private army to monitor the other royal factions, in rotating shifts and with orders to report and to shoot in self-defence. The chapter takes the reactions room by room: Zhang Lei with six guards, Camilla with two, promising death to whoever comes in, Tserriednich with Theta and one more guard ignoring the whole thing, and Tubeppa with a single guard, asking after Kurapika. Seq. 3
- 05 Day 1 Vincent stabs a servant in room 1014 Oito carries the child while Kurapika and Bill wait for the spy Benjamin has certainly sent. He comes in as Vincent, stabs the servant Sandra at the entrance and calls it self-defence. Kurapika reads it for what it is — the assassination attempt the deployment was cover for — and the room turns on him in the next chapter. Seq. 4
Chapter 364
Speculation
- 01 Day 1 Vincent attacks room 1014 Sandra dies of the wound he gave her at the end of the previous chapter. Vincent then opens fire on Bill and Kurapika, and poisons himself once they overpower him. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 1 Benjamin hears his man out and replaces him Room 1001 listens in as Vincent is pinned and dies. Benjamin and Balsamilco lose the spy the deployment bought them, and Babimyna is sent to take the post in room 1014 — the man Bill will be told to watch. Seq. 2
Chapter 366
To Each His Own
- 01 ≈ Day 1 · 16:00 The princes respond to the Nen stalemate Tyson promotes her Book, Luzurus sends a guard to learn Nen, and the royal factions adapt to Kurapika's announcement. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 1 Début du chapitre 366 Événement de référence pour le chapitre 366 Seq. 1
- 03 ≈ Day 1 · 16:00 Chrollo orders the hunt for Hisoka Chrollo is shown alone in Area 37564 on Tier 5 and sets the hunt for Hisoka in motion. The full Troupe gathering and Illumi's explanation occur in chapter 377, not here. Seq. 2
- 04 Day 1 · Sunday · 16:00 The fourteen suites, one by one The chapter walks every room of the royal residential sector. Marayam eats under three servants and three guards, Biscuit among them; Nipaper, Bladge, Laroc and a fourth guard the archive has not identified hold Momoze's door while she sleeps, Nagmum and Tuffdy off duty in the guards' beds; Fugetsu looks through photographs in bed under two; Kacho takes her meal with Melody in the room; Halkenburg wakes to find his eleven bodyguards unharmed; Salé-salé lies in with two women, three guards and his mother Swinko-swinko; Luzurus talks with his lead Hunter; Tyson plays with a guard under Izunavi's eye; Butch reports to Tubeppa in her office; Theta and Tserriednich work the training floor; Zhang Lei holds his dining table with Oito, the child and a standing Kurapika at the far end; Camilla eats with her mother while Musse sits alone at a desk down the passage; and Balsamilco keeps the telephone by Benjamin's door, Furykov in the room. Kurapika's party then goes home to 1014, where Babimyna has taken Vincent's post. Six decks down, Chrollo sits in Area 37564. Seq. 3
- 05 ≈ Day 1 · 16:00 Kurapika brings the Woble camp home Kurapika, Oito and the child leave Zhang Lei's table and return to room 1014, where Babimyna now stands in Vincent's place among the guards already posted there. Seq. 4

Foul Play
- 01 Day 1 Début du chapitre 368 Événement de référence pour le chapitre 368 Seq. 1
- 02 Day 1 Momoze is assassinated Tuffdy strangles Momoze after her Guardian Spirit Beast exhausts her aura and disappears. Seq. 1
- 03 ≈ Day 1 · 21:00 Emperor Time runs out on Kurapika Emperor Time has been held for nearly three hours by the time the team reaches Momoze. The count costs Kurapika about 450 days of his life and he collapses from it. Seq. 2
- 04 Day 1 – Day 2 The Nen class is agreed and Tserriednich presses Theta Momoze's six guards are detained, and Hanzo and Biscuit read the killing as the work of an off-duty guard using a copy of himself. Kurapika sets the first lesson for the next day; most princes agree to send two guards each. In his own quarters Tserriednich asks Theta how long learning Nen actually takes, and the scene closes on blood. Seq. 3
Chapter 369
Limits
- 01 Day 2 · Monday · 06:00 Kurapika wakes from a nine-hour black-out Bill tells Kurapika he was unconscious for about nine hours and that the others were told he was on a mission. Oito went down at almost the same moment, since she was holding the borrowed ability with him. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 2 · Monday · 06:00 The limits of Emperor Time are spelled out Continuous use of Emperor Time is capped at three hours; past that the user blacks out for three times the time spent — nine hours here — and whoever shares the ability blacks out with him. Kurapika suspects the power of the stolen ability moves the allotted time. Seq. 2
- 03 Day 2 · Monday · 09:00 The princes send their guards to the first Nen class Sixteen guards and servants are sent to room 1014 with orders of their own: Satobi (Luzurus) warns his side that one bodyguard is manipulating everyone, Mushaho (Salé-salé) reads the class as a chance to spy on the other details and open negotiations, Longhi and Maor (Tubeppa) fall back on letters since coded traffic can be intercepted and give themselves two weeks to win Kurapika over, Danjin and Myuhan (Tserriednich) carry a threat to kill them all if they fail to acquire Nen in two weeks, Furykov (Benjamin) is told to catalogue Kurapika's Nen, tics and abilities, Tenftory (Chôrai) is to watch everyone who approaches him and the numbers 1, 4 and 5 above all, Belerainte and Barrigen (Marayam) are to report back in detail, Yuri and Loberry (Kacho) and Ladiolus and Illardia (Fugetsu) come as non-combatant servants sent in place of the bodyguards, and Yuhirai and Shedule (Halkenburg) are to investigate the mark Kurapika spoke of and trade every finding. Seq. 3
- 04 Day 2 · Monday · 09:00 Kurapika lays down the rules of the Nen class Facing the assembled guards in room 1014, Kurapika draws a white line nobody is to cross, warns that he will use force without warning if he judges it necessary and that anyone breaking the rule can be excluded, and promises that in two weeks everyone will have Nen even if some learn more slowly than others. Seq. 4
- 05 Day 2 · Monday · 09:00 Silent Majority possesses Loberry The hidden assassin uses Loberry as the only witness to the masked doll observing Kurapika's Nen class. The user states the rule of the ability out loud: only two people can see the decorative doll — Loberry, on whom it is fixed, and the user who activated it. Seq. 5
- 06 Day 2 · Monday · 09:00 Kurapika asks who already knows Nen Before teaching, Kurapika asks the users among them to raise their hands. Furykov and Belerainte alone answer; Kurapika reads Furykov as an observer sent to grade his teaching, and Belerainte says he is glad to give a frank opinion. The hidden assassin counts four more who keep quiet and reckons nobody but them will notice. Seq. 6
Chapter 371
Mission
- 01 Day 2 – Day 3 Kurapika sorts the class and reads the beasts Kurapika explains that a prince's parasitic beast is invisible to anyone who is not a Nen user, while a conjured beast can be seen by user and non-user alike, and he puts forward that a prince withdrawing from the contest would take his beast with him. He splits the participants into three groups and assigns Furykov and Belerainte to check aura flow. Seq. 1

- 03 Day 2 – Day 3 The Phantom Troupe subdues the Buor men Franklin, Phinks, Feitan and Nobunaga overpower three mafia members and interrogate them about Kakin's underworld. Seq. 2
- 04 Day 2 – Day 3 Momoze is laid out in the princes' burial chamber The king stands over Momoze's open coffin in the funerary hall and is offered condolences. He refuses mourning: his daughter's radiance is only stronger now, she is part of the foundations of Kakin, she is still alive. The panel that pulls back is what settles the room — a round chamber, the fourteen coffins set radially around a central spire, one of them Momoze's. Seq. 3
Chapter 373
Inheritance
- 01 Day 2 – Day 3 Camilla resurrects after Musse kills her Camilla's post-mortem Nen beast kills Musse and uses his life force to restore her body. Seq. 1

Chapter 374
Ability
- 01 Day 3 · Tuesday · 01:27 Thirty-seven and a half hours out of port A caption over the sea gives the elapsed time since the ship put out: 37 h 30 min. Against the noon departure of chapter 340 that lands at 01:30 on the third day, in the small hours of the night after the first Nen class. The panels around it are quiet: the galley at work, Oito holding Woble in her room, and the Woble camp taking stock — Hanzo's disappearance inside Marayam's quarters is read as a defensive act of the thirteenth prince's Nen beast, keeping a line open to him is called essential, and the results are to be reported back. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 3 Début du chapitre 374 Événement de référence pour le chapitre 374 Seq. 1
- 03 Day 3 · Tuesday · 01:27 Fugetsu's Magical Worm opens Fugetsu wakes in her bed — the clock beside her reads TUESDAY 01:27 AM, the only weekday the arc ever puts on the page — and a door rises out of her wall: the entrance of the Magic Warm ride she and Kacho played on as small children. It opens onto Kacho's room, where her sister is awake with her phone. Her Guardian Spirit Beast turns out to make passages rather than defend her. Seq. 2

Chapter 375
Persuasion
- 01 Day 3 The class catalogues the princes' Guardian Spirit Beasts The beasts are read one by one. Tyson's sets eye-wogs on the readers of the Book of Tyson, giving them contentment and drawing their aura, with a heavy penalty on breaking the book's taboo. Halkenburg's is a symbiotic enhancer that raises the potential and the aura of the followers it marks — the highest grade of ability on the ship, and the one Benjamin's man Shikaku flags as the real threat. Camilla's, Tubeppa's and Luzurus's are set out in turn. Seq. 1
- 02 Day 3 Marayam's room is isolated Marayam's Guardian Spirit Beast moves room 1013 into a protected Nen space that cannot be re-entered from outside. Seq. 2
Chapter 376
Determination
- 01 Day 3 – Day 4 Début du chapitre 376 Événement de référence pour le chapitre 376 Seq. 1
- 02 Day 3 · Tuesday · 10:05 The two camps plead before the Supreme Court A caption dates the session: third day, 10:05 in the morning. Camilla's counsel tells it as self-defence — the second prince was attacked by Musse, a militiaman of the first prince, saw a weapon trained on her, felt herself in danger and opened fire; she then went after Musse and ran into Hyurikofu, another of Benjamin's militiamen, and Vorufu, a guard of the first queen. Her side demands that Benjamin and his militia hand Musse over for attempted murder on the second prince, and charges the first prince with having ordered the killing. Benjamin's side objects: ten rounds fired at an unarmed prince is out of all proportion, and they cover Musse in no way whatsoever. Both camps then demand a search of the other's residence. Seq. 1
- 03 Day 3 · Tuesday · 10:05 Cleapatro confines both princes and orders every residence searched The magistrate puts Benjamin and Camilla under supervised detention in the VIP zone until Musse is caught. Their protection details stay as they are, but every time either prince leaves the zone a supervisor answering to the court goes with them, and rather than search one residence the magistrate asks the Royal Army to search them all. Benjamin's camp takes the ruling as a nuisance rather than a check: Musse's Mimizuku knows everything, detention puts Camilla out of their reach — but whatever she does and wherever she goes, they will know. Seq. 2
- 04 ≈ Day 3 Silent Majority kills Myuhan The assassin strikes the moment Myuhan steps into the toilets: he screams, and ten seconds later he is dry. A Nen user among the guards puts three of the dolls down and reports that one is still inside. Kurapika seals the scene — the salon door shut with nobody moving, Bill holding the bedroom door until he arrives — and reads the pattern out loud: the killer only takes people without Nen, the attack is unstoppable in a moment of inattention if you have none, and nobody is at risk while he is present. The user has evidently unlocked their own Nen; the doll has vanished where it cannot have gone, being far too big for the pipes. Seq. 3
- 05 ≈ Day 3 The class turns on Kurapika and calls for the army The surviving envoys read the deaths as an extermination: they are being picked off one by one and were lured in with the promise of Nen, which several of them now call a fabrication with no proof behind it. One demands the Royal Army be called and says he knows exactly whose side the magistrate will take. Kurapika's camp cannot allow it — with the court already having every residence searched, calling the army would see the queen, the prince and the detail placed in separate detention — so the class has to be talked into continuing, and the lie kept standing rests on the same guards staying in the room.

- 02 ≈ Day 4 Morena unleashes Contagion In room 302 on Tier 3, Morena addresses the twenty-three people present — the ones who stayed at her side after she ordered them to kill one another — and thanks them for it. She admits she is young and inexperienced to have taken the head of the clan, says she cares nothing for this world any more than for herself, and that this is exactly why she is destroying it. She then calls them forward one at a time to have their faculties examined: the kiss that carries Contagion. Levels are earned by murder, and the family leaves the room as Nen users pointed at Kakin. Seq. 1
- 03 Day 4 Luini empties the Tier 5 warehouse guardpost Nobunaga, Phinks and Feitan come to collect their smuggled weapons and find the warehouse guards gone and a blood trail at the entrance; Luini kills the Cha-R man escorting them and opens a portal above their heads. Seq. 2

Alarm
- 01 Day 4 · Wednesday · 10:00 A cutaway of the ship places everyone at ten in the morning A double-page section of the hull, captioned fourth day of the crossing, 10:00, puts a name to every post that matters below Tier 2. Third-class observation post: Illumi and Kalluto. Ordinary third-class cabins: Cashew. The Level 3 governmental and political zone — the body that enforces political law, the central police, the local section of the Royal Army — holds Mizaistom, Botobai, Piyon, Cluck and Ginta. The special medical zone, central hospital and general laboratory, holds Cheadle, Leorio and Gel. Luini sits in the Ei-I family office. Chrollo, Bonolenov and Shizuku are in the central passage; Feitan at the hangar entrance; Hinrigh in the Xi-Yu office; Machi in the ordinary fifth-class cabins; Franklin in the fifth-class central canteen; and Ken'i Wang, Nobunaga and Phinks in the Cha-R office. Seq. 0

- 03 ≈ Day 4 Mizaistom redistributes the Royal Army At a conference with Kakin military officials, Mizaistom argues the Tier 3 killings serve the Succession Contest rather than stress, and has the soldiers redistributed so that more stand on the third deck and below. Seq. 2
- 04 ≈ Day 4 The Cha-R show the Troupe their surveillance The three Troupe members are taken into the family's headquarters on Tier 5 — the clan emblem framed between two doors, sofas around a low table, a monitor room next door from which the Cha-R record the places that matter to them on the deck, the reception room included. The footage of the theft is played back: the man walks the hangar guard away, moves too much for his face to be readable, tries the back door in his panic, finds it locked and leaves the way he came. There are cameras at the warehouse entrance only, and apart from the family's own comings and goings the tape shows nobody but the three of them. They ask for a list of every non-mafia passenger going back to the previous day, on the reading that the thief came to scout the place first. Seq. 3
