I'm probably the minority but I just don't care much for Kurapica's story. I guess it's because I'm too use to it being focused on Gon, that the switch just makes me lose interest.

Kurapica's always been an interesting character to me because of that boiling rage underneath his cool exterior. This aspect of his gets focused on and developed in a very dark way. Not to mention, a number of the best fights in the series, and imo the single best fight in the previous tv series and OVAs belongs to Kurapica. You'll come around I'm sure xD. And if you don't, there'll be plenty of Gon to see as well.Originally Posted by deathnightwc3

Pretty easy if there's an excess human labour supply and a recession is taking place... if not that, there's always the possibility of advance payment and insurance for these guys so that their families or friends can access it afterwards if the employee could not.
You do know that, despite how feminine he looks, Kurapica's a guy, right?
It's entirely possible that those henchmen just weren't told about the superpowers those hunter possess. Knowledge of the existence of nen might be more extensive in the underground, but I imagine it's not difficult to find skilled fighters who don't know about nen. If they're willing to kill for profit, then you have your dupes.

Oh he knows.
There is a reason Kurapica is both loved and hated. He is Sasuke. Both have eyes that turn red for a power up. Both their clan has been killed and both seek revenge. There are some key differences though that make Kurapica more lovable. Kurapica is friendly and polite to people. He see's Gon and Killua as friends rather then rivals that needs to be kept at an arms length or competed with. He actually act toward the goal of getting revenge, rather then talk about it but never actually do anything. And he plan, choose and train to gain his abilitys. Only time Sasuke trained hard was when he learned Chidori. Other then that he has always relied on hax eye power. He need to brood so he don't have time to train.
Or IS he...
Exactly. A Mary Sue character is far easier to like when they aren't also a total dickbag.
Episode 40 is out!

Props to Killua who changes his clothes every 12 episodes - that guy really knows how to be a hipster.

Awww yeah! The Phantom Troupe at last!
anyone else notice the PUU mini doll on the boss's phone/keychain.
Oh the coming goodness! Is it weird that I feel giddy like a schoolgirl?

Ep 42 is out!
The shit is going down next week! I can only hope they don't screw it up with the censoring..
Funny to see that Leorio only understands Ren so far.
Even though I still remember the outline of the story from the previous anime, it feels new to me, because I forgot só much of it.
Leorio never changes. But at least he knows how to save money and knows better than to try to swindle the pro swindlers.
You could always look it up on Uoogre!
I already have a semi out of anticipation for Kurapika's next battle.
Episode 43 is out!
Okay THAT wasn't censored.
Aye.
We're back to what we had in the hunter selection, but with a vengeance
A little bloodbath and some cleaning for the feast that's to come?
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
That was like watching a horror movie. Shizuku is so dark I <3 her dearly. And Udon smacking the shit out that guy and ruining his neck was equally horrific god I love it! I don't remember the corresponding episode in the earlier series being quite this awesome. Good job Madhouse.
