Kurapika will be coming up with his escape plan, but fans will have to wait until chapter 361 to see if he succeeds or not. The Dark Continent Arc — which began in chapter 360 — is expected to continue in chapter 361.
Previously in "Hunter x Hunter" chapter 360 — titled "Parasite" — Kurapika tested the loyalty of Prince Woble's guards. In the process of interrogation, he finds out that none of the guards are loyal and that they fear the Nen beasts they were told about in previous chapters. The Nen beasts have certain abilities such as creating hallucinations and controlling minds. They also found out that some Nen beasts can only be seen by a few individuals.
In chapter 361, HOF Magazine revealed that Kurapika will create a plan to escape but will have difficulty in succeeding because of the Nen beasts surrounding them. However, Kurapika might be able to ask The Zodiacs for assistance.
The Zodiacs will protect the people from the Nen beasts, although they will find out that these beasts are not as harmful as everyone suspects. Even so, the Nen beasts are under the control of the princes, who pose a threat to the people because they can kill someone by commanding their Nen beasts to attack.
If Kurapika can not ask The Zodiacs for help, then he will ask Leorio to prepare a means for their escape such as boats and life vests. If Kurapika succeeds in escaping from the Nen beasts, another threat that he will face is the princes who may order his capture upon finding out of his escape plan.
"Hunter x Hunter" chapter 360 already opened the Dark Continent Arc, which fans are eager to continue in chapter 361. The Dark Continent Arc is the eighth story arc of "Hunter x Hunter," and its story is expected to unfold in the upcoming chapters.
However, Yibada reports that the release of chapter 361 might be again delayed and fans will have to wait to read moe about the Dark Continent Arc. Yoshihiro Togashi — creator of the "Hunter x Hunter" series — is allegedly taking a break due to health concerns.
"Hunter x Hunter" chapter 361 is expected to be published in 2017.
