What to expect (speculative)

With Hinrigh having defended himself from Morena’s forces in the previous issue, fans can likely expect Morena, or at least Morena’s camp, to be the focus of Hunter x Hunter chapter 392. Although he killed Padouille in the process, Qurolle and Deveralles were both allowed to flee as a result, thanks to their abandoning their comrade in favor of avoiding torture.

The two survivors specifically state their intent to report back to Morena in the next issue, which is what has many fans suspecting her or her camp to be the next issue’s focus. However, it's also possible that this is merely setting the stage for later issues, meaning that Morena's camp won't be the focus of chapter 392 at all.

In this scenario, Hunter x Hunter chapter 392 would likely continue focusing on the Xi-Yu family’s camp, with a particular emphasis on Hinrigh himself. Despite defending himself successfully, he still has other objectives to complete and plans in motion, such as the camcorder kitty cat he set up on the Black Whale ship.

Zakuro and Lynch of the Xi-Yu family, meanwhile, are still looking for Hisoka with Zakuro’s Nen ability, which seems perfectly matched to find the elusive Hisoka. There’s always the possibility the issue sees them find him and report back to Hinrigh, setting up an exciting immediate future for the series. However, fans will only be left to guess until spoiler information or the issue itself is made available.
