like this if u think kurapika is beautiful

[Larryisalwayssufferinginc.]

This video is cool and all but did you know Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum.

[salem]

Just a little note . Kurapika didn't know about gon's condition . When he knew in the manga he asked leorio if he can do anything to help but gon was already healed so there wasn't anything he can do

[DaniG._.German]

Kurapika brought a shovel to a fight. That's gangsta.

[randevsthirdeye]

When Gon broke-down against Neferpitou, he got the same feeling Kurapika held, and holds for so long.

Kurapika's obvious emptiness during the York New arc is one of my favorite moments in the series. Truly depicts how damaging vengeance can be.


Like the emptiness I feel right now cause Haikyuu just ended.😭

[emmanueltejada]

He lost himself .... in the end it goes to show the cost of vengenance and how detrimental and damaging it can truly be to follow a path of darkness. I love his determination and conviction but in my opinion it was ultimately his downfall. I hope he acquires serenity in the future ... he deserves it .

[ibikunle]

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

[littlegizzy]

“ I only fear that my rage
Will fade over time”

[Xaforn]

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.

[behindthesmile]

The portrayal of Kurapika's descent in the older HxH anime still haunts me. The tone and the animation was so grim.

[lema]

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.

[violetraven]

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.

"Forget revenge. You aren't strong enough." - Kurapika's mentor
How I wish he took his words into consideration at

[slyscott]

I'd rather be lost in my rage and fury, than be lost in the endless unknowing of what my purpose is in the world. If I could live blind in my wrath to avoid being aware of my emptiness within the world and my purpose within it, I would pay that price for my vengeance.

[bandarsalh]

Gon has already payed a huge price for revenge, so he'll probably be the one to save kurapika from self destruction

[tigersboy]

Kurapika isn’t the original Sasuke, Sasuke is the discount Kurapika.

[rolliish]

Kurapika gonna give his body to Hisoka to get strong enough to kill the Phantom Troupe....





















Oh wrong anime

[missscarlett]

He truly is an amazing character, I could watch analysis on him forever lol

[julianify]

I'm literally watching the "troupe" arc in HxH and since starting this series, he's became my favorite 😭 thank you for making this ❤
