KURAPIKA'S MISSION EXPLAINED (HXH 2022)

[@harrison1735]

I always wonder how the other Zodiacs felt when Leorio suggested Kurapika for the last empty spot and he ended up being extremely capable.

[@laquanlucas6953]

The other zodiac disliked ging and parstion with passion. But i feel that rest of zoadic was more freindly toward kurapika and leorio conpare to the other former zoadic that left. Kurapika help them out a lot finding who the mole is for beyond.

I really appreciate these recaps, they're well made and watching them has helped me remember just how wild these arcs got. Thanks for the continued content!

[@TheBadasssnoopy]

This might be a bit too optimistic, but my reading of Hunter X Hunter has always been that while the series can get really dark and often time covers some really depressing topics and ideas, it ultimetly always ends with an optimistic messege. York New still ended with Kurapika giving up his revenge and Pakunoda saving her friends. The Chimera Ants arc still ended with Meruem becoming human and getting to spend his final moments with Komugi. The road is often roguh and depressing but the destination is always nice and and hopeful. Now the ending could still be hopeful even if Kurapika dies, but my gut feeling is that Kurapika won't die, at least not during the Succession War arc. I think that by the end of the succession war Kurapika will finally find something to fight for that isn't revenge of his dead friends, so he could finally focus on a much healthier relationship (presumebly with Woble).

Togashi always goes with the obvious route......

[@okipullup..]

Even after all that, the dark continent still awaits. It’d be crazy if he survives all that

[@BigPanda096]

The thing about Kurapika is he is abnormally intelligent. Compared to other manga\anime he is basically their smartest people in verse, and here he is just a slightly above normal but still insanely smart boi. If he has time to think, he can essentially engineer a situation that's always beneficial to himself. He is one of the scarier opponents just because the smallest slip up in your specifics can lead him to information that he needs to surmise your ability, weaknesses and ways to exploit you and he can do this from something seemingly irrelevant and having nearly nothing to do with anything involved. It's actually incredible how analytical the people in HxH are and the situations are still bad enough that they can't just win off rip, like what would happen in basically any other manga\anime that would have someone as analytical as Kurapika. Truly a testament to Togashi-san's writing for sure

[@rexgeorgerodriguez7620]

I like how even though Kurapika is smart, he is still making some mistakes throughout the situations in this arc like the wasted 5 years of his life because of a failed cockroach spy, broadcasting the existence of nen beast and nen to the first deck, and the wrong assumption that the Succession War can be stopped by withdrawing or escaping from it ( Prince Halkenburg tried to end himself but he cannot because the Nen beast doesnt allow him to and Prince Kacho dies because of some restriction of escaping the war will lead to death). Not really counting the double edge sword of teaching the other bodyguards nen because yeah it can create a stalemate however it can backfire to Kurapika if the people will turn against him.

[@BigPanda096]

@@rexgeorgerodriguez7620 the thing I love most is that Togashi doesn't give his characters information the reader has until THEY discover it. So many times I've been reading and then something the character shouldn't know and was never told to them, they just say they know all about it casually and it doesn't make sense for them to, but because the reader learned the the author forgot the other characters didn't learn it yet and just assimilates reader knowledge to the character. When this happens many people never notice because it's information they already knew so the other characters learning it off screen seems not to matter, but it does.

the dark continent has set up a nice potential solution to kurapika's short life span (nitro rice), gon's loss of nen (mother solution and herb that can cure anything), and killua having a limitless electrical source ( that rock volt generator). If the hunter association gets their hands on it, I bet Leorio would probably take the lead on utilizing all of the dark continent treasures. He's a zodiac and had already won over the association's trust. But it really is looking like kurapika finna die XD.

"what are you doing in my mafia den, cow man?"

[@koizept6528]

I have a theory that may seem very cliched. Perhaps an artefacts from the dark continent could save him. In fact, the Kurta clan could possibly even originate from the dark continent. Why are the kurtas the only one (known so far) with the unique ability of colour changing eyes? Even so when kurapika gain overwhelming overpowered abilities? If my memories serves, in one of the first chapters of the dark continent arc, several “curses” were revealed the afflict those who wandered into the dark continent. I can’t help but believe that kurapika might have a certain resistance or biology that could possibly use stuff from the dark continent to extend his lifetime or something.

[@Azekk_8]

I really like this idea!

[@cahan557]

I certainly think the kurta clan’s unique ability means they are either a dark continent species that migrated and integrated with humans or a human clan were affected by the dark continent in some way. The only other explanations that seems plausible is some kind of nen “curse” (its not exactly a bad thing so hard to really call it a curse at that) either afflicted on them by a third party or developed by the original kurta out of sheer will (like the villagers who all have the same power which they pass to their offspring) or the original kurta had a genetic defect and was very prolific but that’s boring lol. I’m not a manga reader (although I do know most of the manga through wikis) but I don’t believe we know much about the kurta eyes. I wonder if the scarlet eyes made all kurta stronger or if kurapika’s emperor time is a unique ability tied to his emotions regarding scarlet eyes. I think I remember uvogin or franklin saying something about how they were a challenge in reference to their slaughter which makes me think the scarlet eyes perhaps allowed unconscious use of nen to enhance their physical capabilities

[@AmHotGarbage]

There’s a theory the kurta originated on the DC

[@cahan557]

@bãßßêt Humans are probably one of the weakest things to come from the dark continent that we know of (at least the current form of humans) and the strongest humans are still insanely strong. If the kurta are from the dark continent and stronger than humans, who knows what that means for their maximum potential. Being from the dark continent just proves that something is capable of being insanely powerful given the intense ecosystems and massive survival pressure

No one’s talking about it but kurapika could literally become a god like character if he does make it to the dark continent.

That along with the constant improvements he makes to his hastu abilities would be insane

I hope this is true, but with his life goal being to murder the troupe and avenge his clan, added on to his ability, its really easy for Togashi to kill him off. Once he accomplishes both these things, his character is finished, and for what its worth, I don't see a happily ever after for Kurapika, everything he's done is geared towards vengeance and if it doesn't kill him in the process, his own ability will.

I don’t know if this has been said before, but with the existence of Nitro Rice I could only imagine 3 outcomes for kurapika: 1) dies in an unrelated situation before reaching the dark continent (possibly phantom troupe related); 2) emperor time tragically kills him right before reaching it (alternatively, he is forced to give it up); 3) he reaches the dark continent, finds nitro rice and is able to undo all of the consequences of using emperor time. I honestly think the third one is the least likely because the combination of emperor time and nitro rice would be unstoppable and it would go against the whole narrative of “nen comes with a price” that defined previous arcs.

[@siddarth3955]

But 3rd is likely. Nen comes at a price in natural world whose rules are broken in the dark continent

[@iSecretAsianMan94]

I've had a theory for a little while about how Kurapika ends up in the succession war arc. It hinges on how anyone is going to deal with second prince Camilla's seemingly invincible nen ability. There's no way that she will willingly step down from participating in the war and will have to be killed somehow but the question is, how do you kill her? It's very likely that Kurapika has been using emperor time before this arc to help gather his clans eyes and so went into this arc with not a whole lot of life force left. My theory is that the second prince will be one of the last princes remaining in the war if not the last remaining besides Woble and she will come to kill him. Kurapika is going to somehow figure out exactly how much life force time he has left from his use of emperor time and will have to decide on finally finishing his grand mission of retrieving his clans eyes with the small amount of time he has left or protecting Woble. He'll ultimately choose to protect Woble and will strategically use emperor time to reduce his life span further and kill Camilla shortly before his own life span would be gone. Her ability then drains him of his remaining life span and and transfers it to Camilla but she is resurrected only for a few minutes and dies shortly after leaving Woble as the winner of the succession war.

He doesn't even need to be in emperor time to steal an ability, he only needs emperor time to give the ability to someone else. For such a powerful ability there has to be other major restrictions than that though. Considering the two other ability stealing hatsu's that we've seen there has to be some preconditions that he has to meet before he can steal since in it's current form it's basically a guaranteed win ability since it forces the victim into zetsu.

"What are you doing in my mafia den, cow man?" Is my new favorite sentence!

[@oswaldplaystechnoneverdies5256]

Dang, I really hope he lives this war. He’s definitely my favorite character.

[@Gwolf303]

With the setup going on here this entire arc could be an anime in itself. Jesus they really went all out on the insanity.

[@chrisblanc663]

Half way through the review. The part we’re kurapika hires a bunch of characters from earlier in the series kinda reminds me of when kurama did the same thing in the last arc of yu yu hakusho…

[@nestormaria5014]

That trigun shirt you’re wearing is so dope!

[@LK.Cynric]

Fantastic video ans recap. Cant believe I forgot some of these, then again its been years.

[@bentencho]

I'm always surprised that none of the factions hired the Zoldyck family as bodyguards. I mean I guess assassination is their specialty, thus they aren't great at protecting people... but if one of the wealthier Princes can just send a cargo ship of money to hire Silva and/or Zeno, they could probably take out a few high target people.

[@igorporfiirio4915]

11:00 well... at least he is pretty young, he could lose a feel decades and try his luck for immortality in the dark continent. Not ideal, but better than dying in the war.

There is also a possibility that Kurapika succesfully protects Wobble but Wobble later turns out evil.

YOU HAVE SINNED Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; THE PEANLTY FOR SIN IS DEATH AND HELL Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death;... Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. JESUS DIED TO PAY FOR YOUR SIN Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 6:23 ...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. JESUS INVITES YOU TO BE SAVED TODAY Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

He will be heavily damaged and then leorio being a doctor, will pull a ultragigachad move by using an insane nen healing hatsu

[@Renegaiden_]

The tension for Kurapika's survival and mission success is ramped wayyy up now since York New city. It makes sense why Togashi is taking so long to write this type of story arc now and holy hell is it nerve wracking. Time is against kurapika, against Togashi, and against the future of the HxH series. Makes me wonder if we will ever get to see the Dark Continent.

[@TheDraykon]

Sick Trigun shirt and seriously...that beard rocks.

[@zephirol4638]

I think it would be interesting to find out that kurapika's people were from the dark continent and that is how they all have scarlet eyes and perhaps they all become specialist under the same circumstances as kurapika. It would explain his supernatural ability a bit better and I think make for a great reveal to know that perhaps a clan of his people traveled on a ship to the main land or something similar.

[@mk_-8794]

Sadly Kurapika is not long for this world. He is enemies with some of the strongest and most ruthless/nefarious characters in the show. He is targeting not only the entire phantom troupe but also the 4th prince who is easily the most sinister of all the princes if not the most sinister character in the entire anime. As if all of that wasn’t already enough to shorten his life span he is also literally doing that to himself via his nen abilities. And to top it all off he is guarding the lowest ranking prince and he has very little to no help with all of this. All that adds up to him not living very long and I predict he will die right after completing his mission.

[@takeyourmedsplz]

[@jns6320]

togashi already said that kurapika will die in the series

[@jpphilosopher]

This is all true and Togashi is definitely setting things up to where this appears to be the likely conclusion, but what if he is intentionally doing this to throw a curve ball and have kurapika miraculously prevail somehow?

[@sunnie_days]

the way i (and my friends) think about kurapika and his arc, we're around 90% sure he would die in the end whether its because he dies in battle or because of emperor time. its a tragic end regardless, especially since hes such a major and beloved character, but we know togashi is not above killing off popular characters. maybe he wont die in the succession war, maybe he wont die in the dark continent, but he'll probably will Die (at a young age) at the end of hxh

[@laquanlucas6953]

Togashi didnt kill of hisoka it wouldn't be fun without him. Hisoka keep the story entertaining. I see wobble nen beast helping kurapika to prevent that. Wobble keep kurapika presence in a gentle manner state of minds.

[@Farmingdaneo]

Ya I'm on board with this idea. He will surely die by the end of his life.

[@sharpeim5768]

not necessarily true, Nen users can prolong their life depending on how strong their nen is. Netero, Maha Zoldyck, and Ging's grandfather lived extremely prolonged lives and Maha/gramps are still alive. Also there are other ways to prolong life in the HXH universe.

[@staymellow7673]

So 3 options for kurapika death, winning the war, or not winning because of his obsession with destroying the phantom Troup which ends up getting everyone killed

[@owloko1349]

I fear that the 4° Prince is were Kurapika history ends, like he's already a powerful foe and probably will be at a very high lvl when he faces Kurapika, and the fact that he is not a Spider is gonna be a huge problem

[@daleatsoverton9542]

Kurapika is Hawkins in the Wano arc . my guy has like 0.1% chance of survival . sadly i didn’t even realize how bad it was till the first 15 seconds of this video . Liam’s always serving fire ass content bro , one of the most well deserved subs of all my subscriptions . could never show enough of the appreciation i have for you broski joeski 💯

“What are you doing in my mafia den, cow man?” is one of the single funniest sentences I’ve ever heard.
