Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Hiko set conditions for helping Netero, then settled into a period of rest while Gon Freecss and his friends trained. A year later, after Netero named Hiko the God of the World and launched a recruitment drive, Zeno Zoldyck arrived to confront the Hunter Association, hinting at Hiko’s next investigation.

• Uchiha Hiko told Netero to bring Mito and her grandmother to live with him, give Gon Freecss Hunter missions, choose only talented and good-natured disciples, and prepare him a comfortable place to rest.
• Uchiha Hiko relaxed while Gon Freecss grew under the Hunter Association’s care and became friends with Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika, and Leorio.
• With no sign of the Pincer Ant Queen, Uchiha Hiko suspected that her caution and Ging Freecss’s injuries had delayed her plans and given the planet time to prepare.
• One year later, Netero named Uchiha Hiko the God of the World and announced a recruitment drive for gifted candidates under eighteen who would obey a mysterious final mission.
• Vice Chairman Hill was so frightened by Uchiha Hiko’s aura that he wet himself and fell to his knees, making Hiko a feared mystery within the Hunter Association.
• Zeno Zoldyck came to Netero’s office, traded insults with him, and raised Uchiha Hiko’s interest in investigating the Zoldyck Family’s ancient ancestor.

Netero told Zeno about the Pincer Ant Queen and Uchiha Hiko, whose strength far surpassed Maha Zoldyck, and Zeno arranged to seek him out. Meanwhile, Hiko watched the worldwide selection exams and reflected on the Pincer Ant Queen’s need for an outside soul to produce a king.

• Netero explained that Uchiha Hiko had warned him about the Pincer Ant Queen and agreed to train talented youths for Hunter Planet.

• Hiko watched the worldwide selections, where examiners exposed overage applicants, and noted that the Pincer Ant Queen needed a soul from outside to give birth to a king.

Uchiha Hiko realized the Pincer Ant Queen needed a suitable soul to create the King of Ten Thousand Demons and went to Netero to have him identify a potential match. At the Hunter Association, he dismissed Zeno Zoldyck after learning the Zoldyck Family wanted to assess him before entering his disciple selection.

• Uchiha Hiko remembered that the Pincer Ant Queen needed both a fitting bloodline and soul, then left Mito to visit Netero.

• Hiko sensed Maha’s arrival, flew out to meet him, and mocked him for hopping around like a toad.

A week later, as the Hunter Association waited for the Pincer Ant Queen to take its trap, Hiko prepared to meet the four finalists in the Heavenly God Plan’s preliminary selection.

• Gon Freecss happily ran to Uchiha Hiko and called him his master, leaving Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika, and Kuluja stunned by how far ahead he was.
• Uchiha Hiko welcomed the four and acknowledged their backgrounds, then warned that they had no path of retreat and were the world's hope for the future.
• Netero told the four that the Pincer Ant Queen was consuming life on the planet to create a powerful King of Ten Thousand Demons, and that they would need to face her future Guardians of the Four Kings.

• Netero secretly studied their training and learned a permanent thirtyfold Kaioken, becoming far stronger than before.

Uchiha Hiko trained the Four Little Strong while waiting for the Pincer Ant Queen to appear, then learned from Netero that the prey had been found. He ordered Netero to let the Queen eat Pier before launching the extermination plan, explaining that Meruem's birth would lead him to kill the Queen himself.

• Uchiha Hiko pushed Kuluja, Kurapika, Killua, and Gon toward increasingly dangerous training until Mito arrived and the four fled to her.
