On December 12, 2022, at midnight JST, Hunter x Hunter chapter 398 will be made available online. Shonen Jump and the Viz Media website will host the manga for free online reading. The members of the Troupe had to interrupt their screening in the previous chapter when Sarasa went away. The horrible state in which they discovered her body had an effect on Chrollo. He intended to use his newfound villainy to alter the Meteor City and the globe. That’s why the troupe’s other members chose Chrollo to be its leader all those years later when they first founded the Phantom Troupe.

What to anticipate from Hunter x Hunter 398?
Hunter x Hunter 398 may accompany the Phantom Troupe as they plan to avenge Sarasa’s death at the hands of the kidnappers. Chrollo has yet to divulge the contents of the message, which will hopefully happen in the upcoming episode. There is a good possibility that other members of the Troupe have also learnt to read and will be able to decipher the message for themselves. While the chapter’s hints point to a return to the backstory in Hunter x Hunter 398, there is a slim chance that the manga will shift its focus back to the events as they happened. This is because the readers have already seen the formation of the Phantom Troupe in the backstory, which may be sufficient to explain what Nobunaga was trying to say in a previous chapter.
What occurred the last time? (Recap)
Chapter 397 of Hunter x Hunter is named “Founding, Part 3,” and it depicts the Troupe members’ anxiety after Sarasa has been missing for some time. Despite their best efforts, Chrollo was unable to track her down, thus the screening was cancelled and the Sarasa incident was also made public. Chrollo was brought to tears as they volunteered to help find Sarasa. The members of the Troupe eventually located Sarasa’s body in a bag hung from a tree after a thorough search in which every one had taken part.
Chrollo declined to read the message that was found alongside her body to the group. Chrollo planned to become a villain and bring about a change in Meteor City and the world after Sarasa’s burial, so he requested the other members to wait three years before they took their retribution for Sarasa.
