With the discovery of the X(3872), in 2002 Belle started the XYZ renaissance, with a plethora of observations of new states still escaping a unifying pattern. Tetraquarks, pentaquarks, hybrids, hadromolecules are some of the names given to these new forms of matter, which challenge our understanding of QCD. Belle-II is restarting this quest from the most recent finding of its predecessor Belle, the Y(10750), and has devoted a scan of this energy region during November 2019. My seminar will review the most recent advances in the field: the new results from LHC and BES-III, and the preliminary results from the scan at 10.75 GeV. Prospects for searches with Super-KEKB in this decade will be given.
