Location from Hunter x Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi
The world's largest transport ship — carrying the Dark Continent expedition, the Succession War, the Phantom Troupe, and Kurapika on a voyage where nobody can leave and everybody has secrets.
The Black Whale is the Succession War's arena — a sealed environment where fourteen princes compete, the Phantom Troupe operates, Hisoka hunts Troupe members, and Kurapika guards Prince Woble while pursuing his own agenda. It's a pressure cooker: all the series' most dangerous characters, trapped together on a ship, with nowhere to run. The five-deck class system mirrors the HxH world's social stratification — privilege at the top, desperation at the bottom, and violence on every level.
An enormous ship — effectively a floating city — with five decks arranged by social class. The first deck houses royalty and VIPs; the fifth deck is a lawless slum. The ship is sealed once it departs — no one gets on or off until the voyage ends.
