Benjamin just locked down the entire Black Whale, and every major prince still standing has been ordered to Room 1001 in Hunter x Hunter.
Chapter 415 ended without answering the biggest question it raised: why Beyond Netero cursed one of Benjamin’s own soldiers, and what that curse is actually meant to do. That chapter also dropped special martial law on the ship, forcing Camilla, Tserriednich, and Zhang Lei into the same room under Benjamin’s watch, stripped of their royal guards’ weapons. It’s the kind of setup Togashi loves to let simmer before he lets it explode.
This chapter is part of the ten-chapter run Togashi committed to after Hunter x Hunter‘s long hiatus, so the pressure to deliver answers keeps building with every new release. The brief reappearance of Gon and Killua a few chapters back only reminded fans how much time the story still has to cover before it can circle back to them.
Hunter x Hunter Chapter 416 Release Date and Time Confirmed
Hunter x Hunter Chapter 416 releases Monday, August 3, 2026, in Japan, which lands as Sunday, August 2, for readers across most of the world. VIZ Media has not announced any break or delay following Chapter 415, so the seven-day gap should hold.
Here’s when Chapter 416 goes live in your time zone:
- Pacific Time: 8:00 a.m., Sunday, August 2
- Central Time: 10:00 a.m., Sunday, August 2
- Eastern Time: 11:00 a.m., Sunday, August 2
- British Time: 4:00 p.m., Sunday, August 2
- Central European Time: 5:00 p.m., Sunday, August 2
- Indian Standard Time: 8:30 p.m., Sunday, August 2
- Philippine Time: 11:00 p.m., Sunday, August 2
- Australian Central Time: 12:30 a.m., Monday, August 3
Chapter 416 will be available through VIZ and MANGA Plus the moment it drops, and both platforms carry the official English translation simultaneously with the Japanese release.
Expect the chapter to pick up right where Benjamin’s soldiers left off, with the princes gathered in Room 1001 and their guards disarmed at the door. Camilla and Tserriednich haven’t shown any real concern about the martial law order, which makes their calm feel more like a threat than relief. Zhang Lei’s coin ability could also come back into focus now that his own faction is under suspicion.
Whether Chapter 416 finally reveals what Beyond’s curse does or keeps building toward the confrontation inside Room 1001, this arc has made it clear that nobody on the Black Whale is safe from Benjamin’s reach.
