Personality
Kurapika’s blond hair is shoulder-length and he has brown eyes. Kurapika’s eyes were blue in the 1999 anime, but they became grey or dark grey in the 2011 remake. When he’s really mad, his eyes turn a stunning shade of scarlet. In the pilot episode, he wears a full-body white training suit under a blue beret with an orange hem.
It’s during the New York City arc that we see him swap out his tabard for a new workout suit. This guy wears flat, Chinese-made winkle-picker shoes. From the Election arc, we see him wearing a black coat and black shoes; the following time, he sports a black tie.
Kurapika has a single ruby earring that dangles from his left ear. After he masters Nen, he decides to disguise his Scarlet Eyes by replacing them with black contact lenses.
Appearance
Kurapika is cool, smart, and knowledgeable. He is reserved and judgmental. His seclusion from others originally keeps him threshold and moralizing, but his heart is poisoned with despair and anger. Kurapika is introverted and closes his heart to new people to stay focused after losing everyone he loved at twelve. Kurapika smiles when pals are happy.
Though Kurapika claims he wants to become a Boycott Hunter and capture the robbers who killed his family, he is willing to forsake his morality and enter the underworld to achieve his goal. If his clan’s memory is sullied, he rages uncontrollably.
Kurapika self-destructs after becoming a Hunter. He commits evil acts to relieve his pain. Kurapika’s reclusive nature makes him ruthless and irrational, but only his friends can calm him enough to think properly. He gradually came to respect his friendships and was ready to delay his retribution on the Phantom Troupe for their sake. After seeing the Spiders’ deep bonds, especially Pakunoda’s loyalty, he questioned his goal, yet he continued.
Although he disappeared for a while, his loved ones drove him to seek more power to avoid losing them. After nearly collecting the eyes of his brethren, he felt a tremendous feeling of loss, fearing he had no one and nowhere to return to.
Abilities and Power
Kurapika enjoys Hunter privileges. As a Zodiac, he is second in the Hunter Association, after the chairman. He ran Light Nostrade’s new organization and controlled the clan as Light’s right-hand man. The show shows off Kurapika’s skills. Hisoka first noticed him as a “green fruit” with great potential. In York New City’s story, he was stronger than Killua because of his Nen skills.
He, Hisoka, and Silva are the only ones who have killed a Phantom Troupe member. His knowledge, military skills, and vengeance drive him. He also knows how to use different weapons. He used chains against Uvogin from far away and up close. He is usually quiet, but when the Phantom Troupe or his clan is put up for nomination, he gets violent.
Potential Perception
Even before he learned Nen, he was one of the few Hunter Exam candidates to notice that a proctor was following him during the Third Phase. On his first meeting with Izunavi, he avoided getting hit by an acorn filled with Nen. He didn’t know anything about inner energy at the time, but he knew in an instant that it would have killed him.
Enhanced Strength
In the Testing Gate, Kurapika unlocked the first door after practicing at Zebro’s residence. Each door weighs 2 kilos, for a grand total of 4 tons. When his eyes turn scarlet, he becomes much more powerful. His attacks become more destructive with Nen, allowing him to cause harm to Uvogin even if the latter’s physique is bulletproof.
NVC Expert
Kurapika can tell whether someone is lying just by staring into their eyes, even without the aid of his chain. When he inquired as to Melody’s reasons for taking up the bodyguard profession, he recognized her response’s sincerity and of bodyguard, he not only recognized the sincerity of her response but also the fact that she was concealing vital information. He was able to tell Saiyu was the mole within the Zodiacs by only analyzing his body language.
