@I Am The One Who Knocks ​ @I Am The One Who Knocks I dunno mate, Kurapika lost literally everyone and everything because of actions he took. He then dedicated his life to integrating himself into the criminal underworld and devoting his spiritual aura into a weapon set specifically to fight the Phantom Troupe. It may not seem as dramatic of a decent but it is, just a slow burn and not him giving up everything and using up his whole life at once, but still for singular revenge focused pursuit that could end in a similarly tragic outcome.

People need to stop comparing Kurapika to Sasuke they are two totally different Characters and it’s more than just the regular revenge motive

[@chukwumaadrianofrancisco566]

Exactly

[@Duplicitousthoughtformentity]

I agree. The comparison is unavoidable though, seeing as how Sasuke was based off Kurapika. The similarities are there, but Kurapika is a wholly different being, and I feel he’s characterized as per the different writing philosophies their respective authors take, all the way to character design and development. Togashi is a superior writer to Kishimoto in my eyes, but Togashi also writes character interactions with one of the firmest understanding of psychology and interpersonal relationships I have ever seen in fiction. Blows me away. Naruto hits me hard in the feels, Kishimoto can really make you love. But Hiatus x Hiatus is incredibly well put-together, and impressively convincing in its consistency. Togashi can make you think hard. Different authors, different characters!

I always thought it was very interesting how he didn’t attempt to hide his rage, he was open and upfront about his goal no matter the cost. So often character try to hide their mission. But his morals and logic are almost at war with his goal, yet he will not give up under any circumstance.

[@happilyevernever4289]

I think it's a way to remind himself of not to lose track of his goals. Even tho he craves adventure and the carefree him, it seems like a thing of the past now. He realises he won't enjoy anything with this nagging feeling of having been wronged and moving on without even trying to help his clan's souls rest in peace.

[@violetraven8323]

Revenge stories/characters can be a dime a dozen. But damn they are always interesting to me. With the little justice the worlds has or gives. There’s a certain level of fantasy- by raw individual power anyone could defy those deserving of there rage. But the tragedy is making choices based on anger alone. Will not only reap negative consequences in the long run. But by the satisfaction of your rage it will vanish, and you’ll be hallow. Cathartic in the moment it is to know some kind of justice for the wrongs of the world. But at the cost of yourself in the long run.

[@lema9509]

I think the most tragic thing about Kurapika is that he IS kind and compassionate, even at the end of the series. In the black whale arc, it becomes so obvious that his instinct is always to act with kindness and compassion, and he has to actively push that down, has to actively push away those who love him. He thinks he needs his rage to stay strong and to give him purpose in life, but there is already so much more to him, he has real friends who care for him and with whom he could lead a rich and meaningful life, and he KNOWS that - he just actively decides not to see it. It makes his path just that much more devastating because you really get the feeling that there is something to lose. In true greek tragedy fashion, he really is the one standing in his own way and manufacturing his own downfall - and the only one who can maybe at some point let go of his deep hurt and save himself.

They’re nuance makes them incredibly different Kurapika still cares about his friends and wants simple vengeance Sasuke would throw everything away if it gave him power, but he wouldn’t do something of Itachi wanted him to do it, it’s the reason he didn’t use Genjutsu until he died, because that was Itachis thing. Even when he knew killing Naruto would make him stronger, if that’s what Itachi did he wouldn’t do it. It’s a broad general rage compared to a focused specific rage

curtisdrago I am with you on this. But am currently going through the afterwards of Kurapika losing his rage. Both paths have its quirks. Being rageful will make you feel more alive than ever; but so blind. And not knowing your purpose will make you desperate to seek your place in the world; giving space for adventure and memories. It’s awful for kurapika because he is very aware of this but is too foolish to let it all go. There’s nothing to feel bad about. Rage isn’t bad because of the consequences but because of how poisonous it feels to wake up to everyday. It sucks not knowing my place, but I’m happy for the adventure to see.

[@SniperCR39]

I'm not the biggest expert on HxH, but it seems to me that the way of the World in HxH is just messed up. You have these people who are just walking beings of destruction. How do you contain that. The Hunter Program seems like it's supposed to operate as some kind of deterrent for criminals and the like but they are mostly driven by their own desires. Gon's father is a perfect example. Living in a world like, I see why the Phantom Troupe do how they do. Karupika is boy trying to make sense in a senseless world. Trying to right a wrong that should have never been allowed to happen. I mean damn, this dude had to see Lil' Cus Eyeball for sale at auction! Wtf? How do you deal with that? About as well as Kurapika is I guess...

[@ChillChii]

[@aleeffyaaseen]

[@ryanlee2727]

Something to note about Kurapika is his nen ability. He can only utilize it's full power against someone who took his clan's eyes. It shows that another price he paid for vengeance was his own future as a nen user.

[@slevinchannel7589]

It’s a really good ability ONLY if you have more Ability-Slots left. Imagine you had ONLY Emperor-Time!!

[@2525-j7b]

I’m pretty sure Kurapika won’t descend completely. As driven and determined as he is, there’s still a part of him that’s wondering whether his path truly os worth it (which was demonstrated in the manga when he reminisced about his past in one of the later chapters. ) I’m thinking something drastic will have to happen to either him or one of the members of the main group in order for him to grasp the gravity of his situation. In addition to Kurapika showing death flags, (him lighting the number 4 up on his finger with nen, and him passing out due to the overuse of Emperor’s Time) Tserriednich and the Phantom Troupe are all together in the same ship. Personally, I think something drastic will happen to Kurapika in this arc, which will lead him to be incapacitated with Nen and have to travel with Leorio + Gon (if possible) in order to find a cure for his ailments, (possibly in the Dark Continent) which in turn will allow character development and screentime for one of the more underrated characters, Leorio. The saving of Kurapika could allow completion to Leorio’s past regret of not being able to save his friend, and finding the cure of Kurapika’s nen ailment could also allow Gon to retrieve his nen. Either way, I’m 100% positive Kurapika won’t die. He’s a solid character that’s been built and worked on too much just to die a cruel and painful death. Togashi will add death scares in order for us to ponder more about the possibility of his death, but ultimately, Kurapika could begin working together with the main group to beat the Phantom Troupe instead of working on it alone. Kurapika dying would destroy the main group and would steer the series in an unprecedented direction, given the fact that Kurapika is a beloved character. Lastly, it’d just make sense to focus on Kurapika of Leorio’s character in this or in the next arc. Gon is currently in Whale Island and Killua is too busy traveling the world with Alluka. Either way, if none of my predictions turn out to be right, I’m still sure the next arc will turn out amazing. I respect Togashi and his genius mind, but I do hope he works on Leorio’s character soon. I love the man too much for him to have literally zero screentime.

[@jeangentry6656]

Kurapika could be seen as a commentary on Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho (which is Togashi's first majorly successful manga). He seems to be Kurama if he were possessed/obsessed with revenge. While Kurama has a vengeance streak 1000 miles wide when he's mad enough (see his battle with the Elder Toguro) he isn't dominated by it. Kurama is in control of himself and his rage most of the time. by contrast, Kurapika is dominated by his anger. Kurama strove to improve himself and put his past behind him, and as a result he gained a family. Kurapika was the opposite. He couldn't move on or make peace with his past, and his vengeance cost him dearly.

[@alphabladelm2011]

All this talk about revenge reminds me of a quote from a significantly more light-hearted show: Dan Vs. The quote being, “Revenge is a dish best served immediately.” Kurapika has been spending years of his life training and hunting down the Phantom Troupe to avenge his dead clan. And his major Nen abilities cut his lifespan with every use. Combined with his declining mental state, his obsession with revenge will easily kill him at a young age. Or worse, turn him into something horrific or unrecognizable to the people who cherish him. We can only wonder if Kurapika can achieve his goals without becoming a monster akin to the Spiders or becoming another corpse.

[@samuraimills1849]

Love your content. Great video.

[@hat1696]

Can you please do video on Might Guy. He is so simple but yet so powerful philosophically.

[@PutTheCookieDown]

Let’s never forget this man brought a shovel to his fight with Uvogin.

[@leahklein1666]

this is amazing but sad his lost will drive him to vengeance

[@emeraldeyedstruggler3362]

I like sasuke, i just wanted him to act like kurapika, to appreciate his friends, naruto, sakura and kakashi.

[@fernandosontay4151]

Please do one on Oikawa!!! On his journey of reaching the top!!

[@andrewrentuaya9510]

If he wants to understand the mindset of the troupe, he must go to where the troupe was formed, meteor city. In my own opinion.

[@christopherjackson5737]

Please do more Marvel characters! Similar style to the Wolverine and Batfamily videos!!! Love your work!

[@angelvu]

You guys should read Houseki no Kuni, it’s a manga about finding your purpose, suffering, and vengeance.

[@ramsescoleman3363]

It makes me laugh knowing Kurapika was so confident that he brought a shovel to bury Uvo after their fight.

[@jizzywizzy1]

togashi said that kurapika and the phantom troupe will all die and its breaking my heart 💔

[@ChocolateRuko]

when did he say that? :(

[@Drawingsagespaz]

That if it ever finishes.

[@irusomo1012]

he could be joking - since spoiling the deaths of major characters would remove the impact of their deaths ,,

[@jizzywizzy1]

AKIXDORI i hope he’s joking 😔😔

[@sivanlevi3867]

Kurapika reminds me of Sasuke Uchiha in Naruto. His rage is equivalent to Sasuke and his hatred for his brother. Sage, your description of this character's first appearance reminded me of Shikamaru too. A person who's a master of logic disguised by a different face.

[@EdwardHohenheim]

Kurapika is what sasuke should've been but kishimoto fked it and just made him an edgy boi. Sasuke was based on kurapika, I think.

[@sivanlevi3867]

@@EdwardHohenheim Hey, Kishimoto isn't exactly the best writer out there, so I don't think he deserves that kind of criticism. And I personally don't care about any of that. I also think you should check out a video that looks into Sasuke in more depth for a better perspective on the character rather than hit the creator.

@@KAIZENURAMESHI I'm not exactly an anime history buff, you know. I just make observations based on my experiences.

[@Drawingsagespaz]

@@EdwardHohenheim besides the whole revenge thing they have nothing in common, it’s a good thing he write him differently their goals may be the same but how they tackle these goals are how people differentiate them.

[@Airricc_]

Love your videos

[@batzurei]

Never watched this anime before, I will definitely give it a try!

[@SagesRain]

[@lightbringer899]

[@daytimelantern6570]

[@SansINess53]
