After a decade-long absence, Gon and Killua reappear in Hunter X Hunter Chapter 414, aiding Kurapika in the Succession Contest.
After a significant absence, Gon Freecss and Killua Zoldyck have returned to the pages of Hunter X Hunter. Their reappearance occurs in chapter 414, a development that marks their first involvement in the ongoing Succession Contest.
The Succession Contest Arc, which began in 2012, has primarily focused on Kurapika Kurta's efforts. This arc centers on a deadly game to determine the next Emperor of Kakin, a conflict from which Gon and Killua had been absent.
Following the conclusion of the Chimera Ant Arc, Gon lost his Nen abilities and returned to Whale Island. Killua, meanwhile, had been dedicated to protecting his younger sister, Alluka, from their family.
Chapter 414, titled "Friends," sees Gon and Killua answering Kurapika's call. This comes as Kurapika finds himself in a precarious position, needing allies to protect the infant Prince Woble and his mother, Queen Oito.
Kurapika's current mission involves safeguarding an impostor prince, as the real Prince Woble was swapped out to protect her. This strategic move, however, necessitates ensuring the safety of the true heir.
While Kurapika has enlisted other allies, including Melody, Hanzo, and Biscuit Krueger, and is a member of the Zodiacs, the return of Gon and Killua offers crucial support.
Gon is depicted heading towards a new adventure, accompanied by Noko, a minor character from Whale Island. Killua is shown in a peaceful moment with Alluka, appearing content.
The return of these central characters is a significant event for the series. It raises anticipation for their individual roles in the current arc and the potential for their reunion after a prolonged separation.
