My thoughts:

1) It's going to be pretty darn long. Twice as long as the Chimer Ant arc? I don't know. Maybe a little longer.

2) I think there could be three factions going at first: the Zodiacs, Beyond and Gon. (Obviously, "Beyond and Gon" doesn't mean they're teaming up [as I said "three factions"] nor does it mean that they will be alone. Beyond will obviously have his "Zodiacs" and Gon may have others such as Kite and his dad.) Then it may escalate into something else and two of the factions (such as Beyond and the Zodiacs) are going to be forced to join together to take on this threat.

3) I don't know; it's hard to say. But I'm thinking Pariston will have a major villainy role.

4) I think Gon's growth as a Hunter will probably be explored in this. He's already found what he set out to do (find his dad) and now he doesn't have anything to hunt. And, as one of the commandments says, "A Hunter must hunt something." So, he'll probably figure out what he wants to hunt. Maybe travel around the Outside World (because there has to be more than just one place out there) looking for rare and undiscovered creatures or something. And expanding the universe will definitely be a major part of this.

5) No. Togashi's got a few more arcs up his sleeve.

6) Hard to say.

7) I think it'll lead up to Gon discovering what he wants to hunt and maybe finding the courage to face Killua again.

8) I'm expecting a great arc. Wait, I don't think there isn't a great arc in HXH. Okay, um... Then I guess I'm not expecting anything, seeing as how it'll already be a great arc.

9) Because the Outside World isn't explored and it's super dangerous.
