personality

Having been traumatized by losing everyone he loved at the age of twelve, Kurapika closes his heart to new people and remains introverted to stay focused on his goal. However, Kurapika can be kind and caring, smiling when those friends are happy. Although Kurapika openly states that he wishes to become a blacklisted hunter and that his ultimate goal is to capture the gang of thieves that massacred his family, he is willing to compromise his personal morality and delve into the seedy side of society to achieve its objective. .

past

Kurapika was born into the Kurta clan in a secluded forest in Lukso Province. As a child, he almost fell off a cliff, but was saved by his best friend, Pairo. While he was unharmed, his friend Pairo had damaged both his legs and eyes, and his condition was worsening every day. Kurapika felt responsible for the incident and decided to leave the forest and search the outside world for a doctor who could cure Pairo. Therefore, Kurapika approached the Kurta clan elder several times to request to go to the outside world, but was constantly rejected. This sparked a long-running debate between the two, with Kurapika perceiving the Kurta Clan's fear of the outside world as unreasonable and backward. After one such argument, he spoke with Pairo and discovered that people outside the Kurta clan do not have scarlet eyes, causing his clan to be persecuted. [4] At some point, Kurapika and Pairo saved an outsider named Sheila. As thanks, she gave them a book about D Hunter's adventures in the outside world that they read together, and their desire to visit the outside world grew stronger. After Sheila left, Kurapika realized that the Kurta Clan elder had stolen the book and confronted him about it. Having argued again, the clan elder finally allowed Kurapika to take the test to go to the outside world. Studying hard and successfully passing all the tests, the eldest gave him the last test of him: to go shopping in the outside world with a companion without revealing his scarlet eyes. Kurapika chose Pairo as his partner. The old man asked them to put drops in their eyes that would make their eyes stay red for days if they changed color during the test. During the journey, Kurapika promised himself to find a way to cure Pairo so they could explore the outside world together.

skill and powers and ne

Kurapika has all the benefits granted by his status as a Hunter. As a zodiac, his authority in the Hunter Association is only inferior to that of the president himself. Being Light Nostrade's right-hand man, he had power over the clan, and is now the head of Light's new organization. Kurapika's powers greatly increase as the series progresses. Hisoka was the first to show interest in it, listing it as one of the "green fruits" with enormous potential. Although he was weaker than Killua at first, during the Yorknew City Arc he has become stronger than him due to his Nen abilities. He is one of the few characters (the others being Hisoka and Silva) to have killed a member of the infamous Phantom Brigade, and a very powerful one. His exceptional intelligence is matched by high aptitude for combat and the iron will that comes from his desire for revenge. He is also very versatile as he has been seen wielding different weapons. In his confrontation with Uvogin, he used his chains in long and short range combat. While he generally maintains a calm and collected personality, he tends to lose his cool when the Ghost Brigade or his clan are mentioned, often becoming violent.

scarlet eyes

When a member of the Kurta clan becomes enraged, their eyes turn a light shade of red. When this happens, his physical strength increases, to the point that even a child could gain the advantage in terms of speed and strength against three adults, and easily overpower them. In Kurapika's case, when his eyes turn scarlet, his aura also increases and he becomes a specialist, allowing him to activate his Emperor Time. At some point during his search for the eyes of his clansmen, Kurapika has learned to turn his eyes scarlet at will.

skills

Enhanced Perception: Even before learning Nen, he was one of the few Hunter Exam candidates to notice being followed by a proctor during the third phase. His first encounter with Mizuken demonstrated that he has a developed instinct, as he dodged a Nen-infused acorn without knowing anything of the energy within, but understanding at a time that it would have been lethal for him to have been hit. Enhanced Strength: After training at Zebro's house, Kurapika managed to open the first door of the Trials Gate, whose total weight is 4 tons. His strength increases when his eyes turn scarlet. With Nen, his blows become more destructive, to the point that he can not only cause pain to Uvogin despite the latter's body being impervious to bullets, but also inflict damage on him. Enhanced Speed ​​and Reflexes: Kurapika hit Uvogin several times before he could react and even disappear out of sight into a hiding space with a jump. He can catch bullets with his chain, which he himself stated can catch a target at a distance. of 26 meters in 0.5 seconds. Enhanced Agility: Kurapika can jump several meters into the air and hit his opponents from various angles with acrobatic moves without losing his balance. This is first demonstrated when he jumps on top of a chandelier during the exam to be hired by Light Nostrade and later in the confrontation against Uvogin.

skills

Enhanced Stamina: Possibly due to the disgust he harbors towards the Ghost Brigade and absolute determination to win the fight, Kurapika seemed unfazed when Uvogin broke his arm. However, in the anime, Hisoka's punches caused him pain. Genius-Level Intellect: Kurapika is one of the brightest characters in the series. Because of this, he was appointed Neon Nostrade's bodyguard leader after Dalzollene's disappearance. He was smarter than Chrollo whose mental level creates carefully planned strategies, and his predictions have rarely turned out to be wrong. He also has an immense amount of knowledge on many topics, ranging from psychology to other cultures, starting with forensic history, a quality that surprised his siblings when he was just a child. Due to his yearning for new ideas, he is a quick learner with an impressive memory. Kurapika's analytical skills are so exceptional that they have led to the spread of a rumor, among Muheer assassins, that he is able to read minds. Master of Strategy: Kurapika can formulate flawless plans even in combat exploiting his opponent's weaknesses to the fullest. His intuition is matched by his logical thinking and meticulous preparations. Even though he can stay calm in desperate situations, he can barely stick to his own plan when it comes to the Phantom Brigade, to the extent that he might even break it and endanger not only himself, but his friends as well. . Competent Hand-to-Hand Fighter: Although it is unclear if he has ever received proper training in martial arts, he was able to land several punches and kicks on a hunter specialized in unarmed combat such as Uvogin with almost no damage from his part. Master Weapons Specialist: With the full extent of his abilities in the field remaining unclear, Kurapika uses a pair of bokken swords.

With

Kurapika is a Materializer, but by using his scarlet eyes he becomes a Specialist, with the ability to use all branches of Nen to their full potential. For the Materialization part, he can create objects from nothing, according to his imagination. The weapon he conjures up is from one to five chains that extend across each finger of his right hand. Some of the chains he designed especially to confront the Phantom Brigade in order to complete his revenge for the death of his people. He is able to hide the chains from him with "In" in order to trick his opponent without his knowledge until it is too late. Since chains materialize, they can be extended to a certain degree. Kurapika is also proficient in all other branches of Nen, suitable for both combat, such as Shu, and analysis, such as Gyo. Repeated use of his scarlet eyes combined with Nen took a heavy toll on his mind and body, causing him to suffer a crippling high fever which, after Pakunoda's death, lasted for several days and could not be relieved by Melody's flute. .

weaknesses

Kurapika, when making the conditional deal with his nen, can only use the chain cage with the gen'ei Ryodan or ghost brigade, despite being such a powerful power it has many limitations.
