I watched Hunter x Hunter when I was 12 with our local dub (which does not have he or she pronouns "Filipino"). I really thought that Kurapika was girl back then. It took me 10 years I was 22 when I rewatched and the series in sub and find out that Kurapika was a boy.
Kurapika’s ability is actually so complex when trying to fully understand the conditions, since he has multiple of them. However googling about it usually leads to some kind of spoilers so it’s a dangerous game.
*Spoiler Alert* Yeah I was confused when he was able to use his abilities to other people in Succession War Arc. However the catch is the more he uses it it reduces his lifespan. Did he adjust the rules? Is that possible? Or is the vow only applicable to the Chain Jail ability?
@@foxxberry2752 SPOILER ALERT In this episode he mentions that the only chain that he can only use on the spiders is the chain jail. As far as I know he can use the other chains whenever he pleases. However I’m not quite sure how emperor time works. I think he can use the other chains without emperor time, but they won’t be nearly as effective since emperor time is what allows him to use other nen cathegories without restriction. Now I don’t know if his eyes being red always means he is in his emperor time, or if his eyes being red is just a prerequisite for emperor time. Either way the fact that he has multiple conditions and vows combined shows how smart and strong of a fighter Kurapika is.
Spoilers emperor time reduces his life span 1 hour for every second that it is active, this worked the same in yorknew as well. While emperor time is active kurapika can use all nen types at 100% power and then use the 1 hour cost as a condition to be able to use his other abilities. Or you could instead infer that because he can use 100% of every nen type he can use his other abilities. Chain jail has a unique seperate condition.@@foxxberry2752
The change in the color of his eyes means only the change in his hatsu category, the Emperor Time is the technique which he uses when in this state but not something automatically activate. Actually this is so confusing that once a saw a guy define the especialist category as the one capability of control all the other five categories. A confusion obviously born from the Kurapika special condition and the Emperor Time poor explanation.
The thing in this who smarter aren't necessarily absolute. You can fool someone smarter if they lack information or too confident, like Chrollo in this case. That's why I love this show, everybody actually use their brain even a muscle brain like Uvogin felt smarter than other anime "genius"
Yes I love that part. The show is full of moment where smart or even genius level people make dumb decisions, either because they still made a reasoning mistake despite their intelligence, or because they lacked context or information.
@@Arkayjiya Hunter x Hunter handles Information asymmetry the best I've seen in fiction. People use their brains reasonably well but if they don't have enough information, they get led to wrong conclusions which makes sense to me.
14:55 Fun fact: This is true for almost the entirety of Hunter X Hunter. The sound of people's footsteps is animated. The sound of Killua's footstep is not, it's silent.
I love Killua's whole vibe these episodes, he is like the only realistic one knowing how bad of a situation they are getting themselves, as well as just being "What's he yapping about" to Chrollo lmao
So basically, Hisoka can’t ask Chrollo to fight because he’s technically a spider (even though we’ve known since heavens arena that he’s faking it). Spiders aren’t allowed to have serious fights with one another and Hisoka would be fighting to kill. If he managed to kill Chrollo under the guise of a “friendly spar” the other spiders would likely end Hisoka on the spot.
ange got the pronunciation of nobunaga perfect at 23:39, it's important because nobunagas are everywhere. he's originally a historical figure that pop culture really really likes to reference.
I still can't imagine how Killua will turn out to be if he just decided to stay with his family and have Dad, Bro and Grandpa Zoldyck teach him Nen and still a full time assasin.
@@watever9162 Hisoka won't let Pakunoda touch him knowing that letting that happening would activate Judgment Chain and killing him. He is acting as he would have the rule to not reveal information, so he can fight back as he was willing to do against Nobunaga
But they use his powers accurately to show how deadly he can be so its a canon non canon reference to nobunaga when he gets serious about a fight@@thisistrinks
You're underestimating Nobunaga, One of the smartest and more logical characters in the troupe, also troupe said Nobunaga abilities are more 1v1 oriented than Uvo, So Kurapika is not gonna have an easy time.
@@samuelwebb7273 Nah, she didnt destoy Uvo to begin with, she did put some effort. Nobunaga is way better prepared with intel on Kurapikas abilities, it wont be that easy.
@@samuelwebb7273 Nobunaga could definitely beat Kurapika. Nobunaga specializes in 1v1 and simply outclasses Kurapika when it comes to speed and reflexes. Uvogin underestimated Kurapika and did not know his abilities
Chrollo is a genius, but people sometimes underestimate that Hisoka is a genius as well. Being that quick on his feet and coming up with a coherent fortune that doesn't get discovered despite at least one other member knowing of texture surprise is impressive. At the end of the day, Hisoka was smart enough to know that Chrollo is smart enough to decipher the riddle he gave them, but unable to see through the ruse due to lack of information. I also wanna take this spot to recommend 4 shows to you: - Seven Deadly Sins for lots of brilliant and hilarious moments and a great reaction - Yu Yu Hakusho for a quite developed 90s battle shonen from the author of HxH (watch after HxH to avoid overlap) - Tower of God (brilliant piece of an anime, great musical choice) - God Of High School (top level animation for fights) I think the first two you absolutely must have seen, the latter two make for great reactions as well.
nobunaga is a more difficult opponent then uvogin, he excels at 1v1 fights and hes more skilled and nimble then uvogin,so i think the fight would be harder.
@@KareemK-jl3sjhe’s hisoka worst matchup in a close ranged fight. hisoka is an expert in all ranges & so is his nen, it’ll take more than a close ranged fighter to take out hisoka.
I love your reactions. Just wondering, why don't you pause when you do a bigger commentary or go back 10 seconds. I say this because sometimes you miss very important stuff which affects your knowledge and discussion of the episode. Thank you for your regular posts :)
You’re absolutely right about Killua and Melody being damage control, Killua’s existence is half exhaustion at Gon’s antics by now. 😂 I don’t understand though why Carlie was confused about Killua saying ‘used to be’ an assassin? It’s something he’s been fighting his family about since before we met him??? And at this point he hasn’t killed anyone since the Hunter exam. 😂
3:54 "I absolutely must be the one to kill you." See, Hisoka is a very frugal person. Where most perverts want all your firsts, he just wants your last...
Crazy to me watching all these Hunter x Hunter reactions, so few people realize that Hisoka's fortune switch play displayed here is probably the biggest brain and most difficult to pull off mental move in the entire series.
You guys should pay more attention to the subtitles, mani times you lost information or misunderstood something that are really important in the moment or in the future, if you could sometimes pause and read with calm and slowly and if you don't want just cut this moment's from the video just for your own understand of things.
