After years of feast-or-famine hiatuses, Hunter x Hunter is doing something fans almost forgot was possible: showing up on a schedule. And Chapter 413 is already locked in.
The Succession War arc has spent the last two chapters rewiring everything readers thought they understood about the Black Whale. Chapter 412 didn’t need a single fight scene to feel like the most dangerous chapter in months. Beyond Netero’s connection to his biological children reframed the entire power struggle, Kurapika’s Nen lessons for the princes turned into a slow-burning liability, and the mafia’s presence on the ship keeps tightening the noose around everyone aboard.
That’s the kind of momentum that makes a firm release date actually matter.
Hunter x Hunter Chapter 413 Confirmed Release Date
Hunter x Hunter Chapter 413 is scheduled to release on July 12, 2026. That puts it exactly one week after Chapter 412, which dropped on July 5, 2026, following Chapter 411’s release on June 28, 2026.
Three consecutive weekly releases is a real streak for a series that once went nearly two years between chapters.
As with recent chapters, Chapter 413 is expected to go live through Shueisha’s MANGA Plus platform and VIZ Media’s Shonen Jump service, both of which have been publishing new Hunter x Hunter chapters simultaneously in Japanese and English. Chapters typically post in the early morning hours Pacific Time to align with Weekly Shonen Jump’s Japan release, so West Coast readers should expect availability sometime before sunrise, with East Coast and international fans seeing it a few hours later depending on time zone.
Creator Yoshihiro Togashi has been famously open about his production process this run, previously posting manuscript updates on his X account confirming chapters were finished well before their actual publication. That transparency, paired with three straight weeks of on-time delivery, has fans cautiously optimistic that the Succession War arc might actually get the sustained momentum it deserves.
Given where Chapter 412 left things, with Kurapika boxed into an impossible position and Beyond Netero’s motives more tangled than ever, Chapter 413 has a lot riding on it. Whether Togashi keeps building tension or finally lets the powder keg on the Black Whale go off remains the biggest question fans are asking heading into release day.
Hunter x Hunter Chapter 413 arrives July 12, 2026, on MANGA Plus and Shonen Jump.
