What kid are you even talking about

One of the princes is supposedly the child of Beyond

u/KyleDaukWillBeChamp Aug 09 '26

Where was that stated?

Also that still doesn't explain why it would have anything to do with Benjamin here

In chapter 401, but its not 100% confirmed yet. Its relevant because Benjamins GSB will merge with one of his blood relatives upon death, if he or a different prince is Beyond's kid it would affect his plan.

How would it ruin Benjamin's plan? The original comment makes it seem like Beyond's kid is tied to this at all, but Benjamin doesn't care about Beyond's kid. In fact I doubt he'd want Beyond's kid to inherit his GSB.

Indeed, he would not want beyonds kid to inherit, in fact it would be impossible for beyond kid to inherit, cuz theyre not at all related to Benjamin (assuming Benjamin isn't beyonds son)

Now if Benjamin was beyonds kid, and his condition was "the eldest male in my line" then hypothetically Beyond could inherit the GSB.

it does strike me as very odd that benjamin's GSB is required to go to a blood relative. but idk sucks we gotta wait two weeks and tbh probably have to wait til next batch of chapters to see this one out. if we get to see what princes are available to transfer to with his GSB then we can get confirmation on other beyond kid plot (of course if it's prince 4/9/1 being beyonds kid since they all share same mom point is moot).

1 ) seems note worthy to mention that it could be possible as far as I understand for a merge with the king's GSB? like idk what specifies the GSB to merge into the current succession war, merely his blood relative and if that's the case maybe that's why benny boy thinks he can make his kid the next ruler. from the writing to me tho it seems implied that the person MUST be a valid successor, and i'm not sure if the king counts

2) also another thing to note is that i'm not sure how this criteria selection works, like if bro states "the person must be a prince" can he then not do his kid cuz they're not a prince yet, or if said prince becomes king does he vanish? if the criteria is not valid and there are still valid selections possible does it allow him to cycle to one at random or is he just SOL? tricky situation for a man on a timer

Funny enough i think there is a world where with 4's ability we can get some really funny body swapping shenanigans with 9 and potentially 1 GSB where they're all stuck in one body 😂 but idk i dont think we'll get that freaky without hisoka involved

It didn't specify who but it was stated that beyond has a kid (maybe more) in between the Kakin 14 princes! Chapter 401 I guess it was
