The Succession Contest is barreling toward one of its most volatile stretches yet, and fans finally have a firm date to circle for the next chapter.
Hunter x Hunter has spent years testing patience with its notoriously irregular schedule, but the last several weeks have been different. Chapters 411, 412, and 413 all landed on time, giving readers three straight weeks of momentum for the first time in ages. That streak has fans daring to hope the Succession War arc might finally get the sustained push it deserves.
Chapter 413 left things anything but settled. Benjamin’s side dug into the timeline around TSK-17 and Balsamilco, working out that since the poison takes roughly six hours to trigger symptoms, Halkenburg could not have been behind the infection during the window Benjamin first suspected. Only one vial had officially been withdrawn, narrowing the mystery without solving it.
Hunter x Hunter Chapter 414 Release Date and Time
Chapter 414 is scheduled to drop on Sunday, July 19, 2026. Following the same pattern as recent releases, the chapter should go live at 12:00 a.m. JST in Japan, which translates to the early morning hours Pacific Time for international readers. West Coast fans can expect it before sunrise, with East Coast and other regions seeing it a few hours later, depending on the time zone.
As always, the chapter will be available simultaneously through VIZ Media‘s Shonen Jump service and MANGA Plus by Shueisha, both of which have been publishing the English translation alongside the Japanese release.
No verified spoilers for Chapter 414 have surfaced yet. Any social posts claiming to have full details aren’t tied to an established translation source, so treat them as speculation for now. A more reliable pre-release thread will likely surface closer to launch.
Story-wise, Chapter 414 should push the Black Whale closer to Benjamin’s declaration of Special Martial Law. Benjamin is working with limited time and incomplete information against multiple targets, including Camilla, whose resurrection ability makes a direct move against her dangerous, and Tserriednich, whose powers remain largely a mystery. The chapter could also check back in on Mizaistom, Botobai, and Kaiser as military restrictions start tightening across the ship.
Chapter 414 won’t answer everything, but Special Martial Law should force multiple factions to make moves before they’re ready. Hunter x Hunter Chapter 414 arrives Sunday, July 19, 2026, on MANGA Plus and Shonen Jump.
