Hunter x Hunter The chapters are fun to play out, and fans are incredibly excited to see where the story is headed. SxS Chapter 408

Previous chapter of SxS It shows Borksen meeting with Morena, and fans finally get to see the reveal of most of the card game set up in the previous chapter. Morena was created to be a rather large character in this section. with an interesting goal and past This chapter reveals a lot about Morena. Which isn't even the real Morena.

The card game begins

Morena explains her purpose and powers.

HxH 408 begins with Borksen choosing her first card. As expected, she starts with a card. This “Objective” card allows Morena to explain her goals and ambitions to Borgsen.

Morena tells Borgsen that her goal is to destroy the Kakin Empire. And after that, it destroyed all of humanity. She needed Borksen's power for that. Borksen was dissatisfied with such a broad and vague answer, so to explain further, Morena revealed some of her background.

Morena spoke of the Second Track, Kakin's dynasty that had no right to inherit the throne. She reveals that the real Morena is the second track. And the Morena we see here isn't real. Really Morena here Then he was an orphan at a festival without royal blood. Togashi explains that Karn What is Levare and Lese-Majeste? Carne Levare is a Kakin festival held every few years where the royal family holds a banquet. Lèse majesté refers to anything that disrespects the royal family and can be punishable by death. Previously this might have even included looking at the royal family. Morena's mother died from this Carne Lever because she was overworked and was not allowed to rest. Afterward, Morena's face was slashed and she was sent to a facility where she was classified as flesh and not Second Track like those with royal blood.

Here we are scientifically classified as “Second path” and “flesh” and I am classified as “flesh” — Morena Prudo

That was Morena's life for 20 years until she became head of Heil-Lee. What actually happened to Morena is unclear, however, the same carnival continues to create more and more victims. Because Kakin hadn't changed much since what happened to her. This summarizes her answers on the objective card.

Borgsen side The Joker card is discarded. on the next turn She now chooses the “Power” card to learn more about Morena's abilities. Borksen isn't very familiar with nen but has a rough idea. what it is compared to mental abilities Morena gave her a brief description of Nen in general. It is then explained that her Nen abilities allow her to specifically give power to people who share her goals. The common goal here is to kill people. Her powers allow her to act as a parent and keep track of her children. She can have up to 22 children who can be raised and raised as parents. She describes it as similar to a pyramid scheme.

Borksen just wanted to have a normal, peaceful life. But now that's not an option. Because she had been thrust into chaos ever since the expedition was announced, and now, with Morena's kidnapping and possibly her death. She will do everything she can to avoid having to help Morena. Because she doesn't support Morena's goals. Although she may sympathize with her to some degree.

Morena hunts for experts

Borksen is here because she is an expert.

The reason why Borksen was kidnapped is revealed in this chapter. Morena kidnaps Borgsen and tries to recruit her for one reason. That is, she is an unawakened expert. Morena explains that experts are very hard to find. And she is on the hunt for people like them. Currently, Dogman is still searching for more experts. This means that Borksen is not necessary for them. Because they were able to find someone to replace her. This is, in part, what makes the game so dangerous for Borgsen.

I've researched it myself. So there might be some errors. But I believe the experts are about one in 3000 people.

Morena also revealed a pie chart indicating how common or rare a nen is. With Enhancement at 27%, Radiation at 24%, Transfiguration at 19%, Enchantment and Manipulation at 15% each, and finally, Expertise at 0.033%, Morena believed that there should be 50-60 experts on whales. black Morena wants Borgsen to develop specific abilities. But she won't reveal what it is like now.

With this answer, Borksen had to discard one of her cards. And that fell on the Yes card.

This will cause Borksen to choose Morena's No card, to see what will happen if only the No card remains. Morena explains that if only No remains, it will be Borksen's death. Even if she doesn't join Heil-Ly, they can't let her live either. Because now she knew too much. However, if she managed to finish with an X card, that card would be void. And even if she doesn't join in Morena would not try to hurt her. and will try to avoid hurting the people around her

Two cards remain.

R card and no card

for the next card Borksen chooses randomly to discard, she draws card X. However, this is troubling, as Borksen still has card R, which can bring card X back from the grave.

I guess that's true when there are only two cards left, right? Now go ahead — Morena Prudo

This means that Borgsen now only has two cards on her side and her fate will soon be decided. She will keep the No card, which will be her death. Or she will keep the R card, which will allow her to revive any card she chooses. The card game stops here. Hunter x Hunter 408 and fans will have to wait and see what happens in the next chapter.

Martial law has been declared.

Don't know the reason why

at the very end Hunter x Hunter 408 The card game between Morena and Borgsen is interrupted. Morena and Borgsen are shocked to hear an announcement that could cause a lot of trouble for everyone in the Black Whale. Martial law has been declared.

Martial law is a threat to all the characters. And now it's happened. But the reason is unknown. Fans must wait and see whether the reason for this martial law will be revealed or not. Hopefully Morena and Borgsen's card game can continue and come to an end. But there is no guarantee of what will happen anymore.
